Arackniss

Meeting

No one's POV

After Valentino was robbed, he called a meeting of his associates the very next day.

Vox, Val's boyfriend and the owner of Vox's Multimedia.

Velvet, the energetic one of The Three vs Trumvirate.

Henroin, Arackniss's and Angel's father who runs a mafia down in Hell.

The rest of the people there were bodyguards.

The highest ranking ones and a few body guards were sitting at a big table, the rest were standing up.

Val sat at the very end of the table.

"As you're all aware, I was stolen from." Said Val. "A relatively small amount; 20 million dollars."

"Who'd be crazy enough to steal from you?" Asked Henroin.

"I keep asking myself that same fucking question every second after I was robbed, mother fucker." Growled Val. "And if this son of a bitch is stupid enough to steal from me, he'll come after your money next."

Everyone gasped.

"However," Said Val. "That's not the only reason I called this meeting."

Val turned to the TV mounted on the wall right behind him.

666 News

A crowd of supporters were standing around a stage as Charlie Magne took the stand.

"Within a few months," Charlie stated. "The Happy Hotel will be completed. Then we will be able to start rehabilitating everyone. I am sad that it was the event yesterday that made it so you all wanted to redeem yourselves. However, I will make sure that we can all be happy in the long run."

The crowd cheered.

Val turned off the TV.

"Stupid Bitch." Commented Henroin. "Demons can't go to Heaven, even if they change."

"Shut the fuck up." Said Val. "It's not all bullshit."

Everyone gasped.

"If most of our buyers give up their vices, we'll start running low on cash." Said Val. "We have to take care of this bitch once and for all."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Then, certain laughter echoed in the room.

Everyone looked at the corner of the room, and Alastor appeared.

"That's a terrible joke if I've ever heard one." Said Alastor.

Val was about to shout, when Alastor snapped his fingers.

The bags of money that he took appeared on the table.

Everyone gasped.

"There." Said Alastor. "No need to be angry now."

"You still killed my men." Shouted Val.

Alastor only laughed.

"No, no, no." Said Alastor. "The goons I hired did, not me."

Before Val could say anything else, Vox intervened.

"Why have you come here, Alastor?" Asked Vox.

"Well," Said Alastor, walking past several guards and sitting at the other end of the table. "I only started that heist for my own personal entertainment. But I have a deal to offer."

"Why the fuck would we wanna hear any deals from you?" Demanded Val.

"You want Ms. Magne gone, right?" Asked Alastor.

Everyone listened in.

Alastor nodded.

"Let's wind the clocks back a few years ago." Said Alastor. "Everyone respects you and is laughing at Charlie." Alastor looked around. "I mean... what happened? Did you guys give up? You see a guy like me-"

"A freak." Said Val.

Everyone laughed.

"A guy like me...look, listen." Said Alastor. "I know the answer. Charlie has found a way to bring safety and comfort to these people. However, calling I.M.P. isn't gonna help you. Charlie is more powerful than she looks."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"Besides," Said Alastor. "There is one other person who can keep Charlie safe."

"You mean that bitch that she likes to fuck?" Asked Vox. "Don't worry, we'll take care of here too."

"No, the other one." Said Alastor. "Arackniss."

Henroin gasped.

"You see, Arackniss likes to keep the people safe." Said Alastor.

"Arackniss isn't a problem." Said Henroin. "He leaves our affairs alone."

"Don't you watch the news?" Asked Alastor. "Things are changing. If you goes go after Charlie, he's coming after you. Redemption saves Demons, Arackniss saves Demons. Add them up."

"Fine." Said Vox. "What's your offer?"

"I'll take care of Charlie." Said Alastor. "Arackniss will be no trouble. I can do it at any time."

"Then why the fuck haven't you?" Asked Val.

"Never do anything for free." Said Alastor.

"How much?" Asked Vox.

"Half." Said Alastor.

Everyone laughed.

"You're crazy." Said Henroin.

"Call it what you want, my dear fellow." Said Alastor. "But if we don't deal with this now, everyone except Vox will be working at a fast food place."

Henroin stood up.

"ENOUGH FROM THE FREAK!" Shouted Henroin.

But before anyone could do anything, Alastor was gone.
