Chapter 30: Dirty Healing

One night at the Hazbin Hotel in the children's room, Angel Dust has been watching over Aurora, Keenan, and Tilla while Blitz and Loona are out with Stolas and Octavia to watch a late-night show. Aurora, Keenan, and Tilla are dressed in their pajamas, in their beds and ready to get to sleep for the night.

As the kids are ready for bed, Angel is on the phone with Blitz, "So Blitz, how's the show going?"

"The show is actually doing well," Blitz says, over the phone.

Blitz is at a theater with Stolas, Loona, and Octavia to watch a performance. As of now, it's on the intermission so Blitz has given Angel a call to check on them.

"There are many different demons doing different performances. There are some pole dancing," Blitz says, blushing a bit.

"Really now, it sounds fun," Angel says.

"Well, that's kind of hard to explain because the performances are different," Blitz responds, "Anyway, how are you and the kids doing?"

"The kids and I are having a blast. We played a few games, did some dress up, and had all kinds of fun. Of course, Charlie and Vaggie have been having fun with the kids as well," Angel says.

"That's good to hear. I'm glad you and the kid have been doing well. I'll let you go and make sure the kids don't stay up too late," Blitz says.

"Don't worry, the kids are getting into bed right now. We're all pretty tired from the long day, just enjoy your show," Angel says.

"Okay. I'll be home later. Have a good night," Blitz says.

"Night," Angel says and hangs up the phone.

"Well kids, I hope you all have a good night. I gotta get to bed as well," Angel says.

But before he can leave, Keenan asks, "Hey Angel, can we hear a story?"

"Story story," Tilla happily says.

"Wellll...." Angle thinks for a minute. He then shrugs his shoulders, "Sure, I think I can settle on telling you all a story. Got any ideas in mind?"

"Hmm," Keenan and Aurora respond, trying to think of a good story.

Then Aurora says, "Angel, there is something I'm curious about."

"What's that?" Angel asks.

"How did you get to stay in the hotel?" Aurora asks.

"Yeah. How did you first meet Charlie and Vaggie and learn about the hotel?" Keenan asks.

"Oh, well, it sure is a very interesting story," Angel says, scratching his chin.

"Really? Can you tell us?" Keenan asks.

"Sure. I'll be more than happy to share," Angel says.

He snickers, "It's kind of a funny story actually. "

"Really?" Aurora asks, curious.

"That's right," Angel says.

And begins to explain, "Well, I've met Charlie and Vaggie before the Extermination Day. In fact, the little adventure actually happened a little bit before we even met."

"Really?" Keenan asks.

"That's right," Angel says. "As to what I've explained, I'm an actor in the adult film industry, and Valentino, one of the Vees, is my boss."

"That's right," Aurora responds with a nod.

"So what happened?" Keenan asks.

"Well, I was at work that day when I heard my boss discussing a deal going down and he couldn't find anyone to do it. After hearing the conversation, I've decided to handle it personally. I've kept it a secret from my boss since I know he'll simply tell me to stay at the studio and not worry about it. So I snuck out and did it anyway. And that is when things get crazy on my end," Angel explains.

Flashback: Sometime ago

Angel Dust is in an unknown location as he is surrounded by a group of shark demons. He is sitting at the table on one side. The other side has a large shark demon with a dirty greenish blue shirt, blue overalls, and black shoes. He also has sharp teeth, red iris and light blue sclera, and scars on his head and back fin. He is the boss of the shark demon gang.

The leader says, "So lemme get this straight."

"Mmm," Angel replies.

"Val has a lanky filly runnin' his deals for him now?" The leader questions.

"Who ya callin' a 'filly' busta'. I'm more man than you could ever handle, baby," Angel says.

But the shark leader says, "Well, you certainly ain't talkin' like one."

Angel then leans to the table with his elbows on it and supports his head with his hands.

He says in a stern tone, "Look. Let's cut to the chase. Big Vee didn't have much time to deal with some shitty C-List Mobster in a tacky suit. So I figured it might be doin' him a big favor to get one of his petty deals out of the way."

Then asks, "You got the shit?"

"Depends on whether or not you have my money," The shark leader says and rubs his thumb and index finger together.

"You think I'd show up to a drug deal without the goods to pay. This is Hell dipshit. I ai't fuckin' stupid," Angel Dust says.

Angel Dust then reaches down as he stands and slams a briefcase on the table.

"There ya see. It's all he-" But before Angel can answer, there are multiple clicking sounds, and not the good kind.

Angel simply looks at his surroundings with an annoyed face. He soon finds himself surrounded by shark demons and all of them have guns.

The Dark leader evilly grins and questions, "What's that you said about being fuckin' stupid, 'Filly'?"

Angel Dust simply narrows his eyes a little, and holds a frown on his face.

Just then, Angel says, "So let ME get this straight."

Then talks like he is offended, "I show up with Val'S money to pay. And you chickenshits pull the tough gangster routine on me. Just like that? Why? To look cool? You don't look cool. You look sad. Stoppit." And points his finger at the gangster leader.

Then the shark leader says, "I can tell a weak willed stooge when I see one. Easy money. Val must not give much of a shit about this deal. So why don't I just take it instead. Maybe if you behave, you can keep your head in exchange."

Angel then chuckles with a smug look and has his hand placed in his mouth, not paying mind to the guns being pointed at him.

"This bullshit tough guy act ain't foolin' me dipshit." Angel says, and gently pushes the rifle away with his finger, "But maybe I'm givin' off the wrong vibe."

He then says, "Lemme speak a language you might understand better." and places all four hands behind his back."

"What language is that? Fa-" But before the shark demon can ask.

Angel Dust then brings out his guns from behind his hands, and extends an extra set of arms, also holding guns. With that, Angel Dust fires the firearms on the spot and shoots all of the shark gang members. The sharp demons are shot, blood splatter, and the demons fall to the ground. Once the job is done, one of his pistols is still letting out some smoke. He lifts it towards his face and blows away the smoke. With most of his guns out of bullets, he only has the pistol left. He spins his gun around, and holds it back in his hand. He then walks to the Shark gang leader as he hums a little tune. He then gently rubs the leader on the hand, much to his irritation.

But then Angel puts the piston on his head and is ready to fire, "So. You gonna finish that word?"

The shark leader looks nervously at having a gun against his head. But suddenly, a gun has been fired and the Shark leader falls over due to a head shot. That catches Angel off guard. It doesn't take long to realize who has made the shot.

He places his hand on his face and says in frustration, "Eugh... god..."

Angel Dust turns his head to notice a pink color limo at front with a one eye demon with tentacles holding the door open, and red smoke coming out from the open window. Then, coming out of the darkness of the limo, familiar pink sunglasses, and a large grin appear, and a hand motion Angel comes inside.

The familiar voice calls out, "Angel."

Angel then walks towards the limo and is looking very nervous. He then climbs inside the limo and sits down as the driver closes the door. Then drives the limo away from the area. Now Angel Dust is in the limo and has to face his boss, Valentino who is in there as well with two feline demons.

"So tell me, Angel Cakes. What the fuck was that?" Valentino questions.

Angel begins to explain, "Um... I overheard you at the studio talking about how you didn't have anyone to handle this deal... I mean... I just thought... It was an... easy gig. I knew I could take him out easy, and even score ya both-"

But Val interrupts him, "Angel Angel Angel baby. What have I told you countless times, sweetheart, regarding your work, and my affairs?"

"C'mon boss. I know how this stuff goes-" Angel says, trying to explain himself. "It was just-"

But Valentino aggressively grabs Angel by his chin and glass down at him, "WHAT. Have I told you?"

Angel sighs and says, "... Stay in the studio."

"Very good. And where were you today?" Val sternly questions.

Angel reminds silent for a minute and soon answers, "... not... the studio."

Then Val lets Angel go as he sits back down.

He then says, "Very good darlin'. Now, let's talk about how you're gonna make up for the work you missed."

"I can pull a double shift tomor-" Angel says.

But Val interrupts him, "I think." Then snaps his fingers.

That makes the limo come to a stop.

Then says, "You can get out right here-stand on this corner, and make up the time you missed filming. You were supposed to do a Gang Bang today, so ya might be havin' a long night, sugar."

Angel sighs and says, "Yes sir."

"Is that all?" Val questions.

Angel nervously smiles and says, "Whatever you want, Mista Valentino."

"Good boy," Val says calmly. Then sternly says, "Now get out."

With that, Angel Dust climbs out of the limo and leaves as soon as Angel closes the door. Angel soon walks to the corner and remains there as he is given strange looks by the other demons. He then leans to a light post, lights up a cigarette, and begins smoking.

Angel mutters, "Fuckin' pompous shithead fuckin; urgh."

Flashback Ends:

"And that's how I ended up at the corner before Charlie and Vaggie showed up," Angel says.

"No offense Angel, but your boss sounds awful," Aurora says.

"Yeah. He sounds really mean," Keenan says.

Tilla blows a raspberry in response.

"I get it, my boss is terrible, a total psychopathic freak," Angel says as he snickers at the kids' reaction.

Then mutters under breath so the kids won't hear, "And a fuckin slavedriver."

Soon, the door to the room opens and Charlie and Vaggie enter the room.

"Hey Angel, checking to see how you and the kids are doing," Charlie says.

"And to make sure you don't keep them up late," Vaggie says.

"Don't worry, the kids and I are doing fine," Angel says.

"Angel is telling us a story," Keenan says.

"Oh how nice," Charlie happily says. She then asks, "So what story are you telling them?

"I'm actually telling them about how I met you two," Angel says.

Vaggie groans, "Why that story?"

"Hey, they asked how we met so I'm telling them," Angel says.

"You better not say anything bad," Charlie says.

"Not at all," Angel answers, "In fact, I'm actually on the part when you two came along."

"Really?" Charlie asks, excited, "Can we help tell the story?"

"Sure. I don't see why not," Angel says, shrugging his shoulders.

"As long as you don't say anything bad or stupid," Vaggie says.

Angel rolls his eyes, "Yeah Yeah."

Charlie then asks, "Can I tell?"

"Sure. After all, we're on the part where we met," Angel says.

"So what happened?" Aurora asks.

Charlie sits down and says, "Well, I bet Angel told you how we met before the Extermination? In fact, during this time, Vaggie and I are working on getting the hotel running, and trying to find sinners to stay over. We were in the limo discussing finding more sinners when we saw Angel..."

Flashback:

Riding in the limo, Charlie and Vaggie are having a disagreement, or a small argument. They turn their heads out the window to notice Angel Dust smoking outside. Then turns his head to another demon. Outside of the limo, Angel notices the vehicle pulling over and honking. Thinking the person inside is calling to him, he walks over to the back window. Soon, the window begins to roll down.

Angel says, "Well hey there, see-" but stops to see Charlie nervously waving as Vaggie places her hand over her eyes, "Oh."

He then says "Woah now-for ladies I charge extra."

But Charlie quickly says, "No no no! No! We don't want any of that. I was wondering if we could talk to you real quick?"

"I'm on the clock sister. Ya godda pay if you want to waste my time," Angel says, not very interested.

Charlie quickly opens the door with a smile, "Oh yes, sure I can do that!"

Angel looks a bit confused, but then shrugs his shoulders and climbs inside the limo.

He crawls past them as he asks, "Ya got any booze in this fancy ass car?"

He then takes a seat.

Vaggie turns to Charlie and questions, "Are you sure this is the one you wanna talk to?"

Charlie turns to Angel to see him leaning on the chair as he holds a cigarette in one hand, and rubs his inner leg with another.

Charlie smiles, "Yes. He's good. I can tell."

Vaggie however, doesn't seem to think so.

Then Angel asks, "So what's what? Like I said. I'm on the clock."

Charlie then leans to Vaggie, "Weeeelllll...!" with their cheeks pressed against each other.

Vaggie turns to Angel and asks, "What is your name... mister?"

"Angel. Angel Dust the Porn Star? I'm kind of famous here, bitch," Angel says.

"Was that necessary" Vaggie questions.

"Nah. But those words tend to just slip outta me," Angel says.

And Vaggie begins the introduction, "My name is Vaggie. This is Charlie. We-"

But Angel blurts out, "Like Vagina?!"

Then chuckles as he covers his mouth.

Vaggie pinches the bridge between her eyes and decides to ignore him.

Then says, "We have a proposition for you. Your princess, Charlie here has repurposed one of her family's buildings into a Rehabilitation center for souls like you, who we think have a chance of redemption. Our goal is to get a damned soul into Heaven! At least one, just to prove that is possible."

"Is it?" Angel questions.

"We don't know yet," Vaggie says.

"Uh huuuuh right," Angel says, not very convinced.

Then Charlie nervously says, "BUT! We want you to be our first test subject!"

"Why my?" Angel asks, tilting his head.

"Because you seem like someone who regrets his life choices and would be interested in self reflection and bettering yourself," Charlie says.

But Vaggie shoves her away a bit and says, "Because, we have been talking to demons all day and nobody has agreed to it yet."

Angel covers his face as he tries his best not to laugh, but is not able to hold it in. Soon, Angel begins laughing at them, and the project.

Then Vaggie says, "Look, you will get free meals, free housing, and protection from Hell's constant hazards that is -if-i you agree to attend what activities we planned. And genuinely attempt to rectify your behavior."

Angel finally stops laughing and says, "Sounds lame."

This makes Vaggie grits her teeth with anger.

Charlie leans against Vaggie and says, "Aw! You can't tell me you enjoy standing on the side of the street waiting for someone to pay to-"

Charlie stops herself and grows embarrassed.

She turns her eyes away and says, "Ya know..."

"I don't know," Angel says with a smirk, "Please finish that sentence."

Just then, Vaggie says, Eugh, Charlie, he's not a good candidate. We'll just look again tomorrow." That causes Angel to frown and turns his eyes away, thinking.

Then Angel says, "HEY!"

Catching the girl's attention.

Then says, "Who said I'm not a good pick. I'm the best pick! You broads don't know me! I could be whatever I want to be!"

"Then prove it," Vaggie sternly says, glaring at Angel.

The two then viciously glares at each other, and practically growling.

Then Angel says, "... I'm in."

Vaggie replies, "Really?"

While Charlie is excited, "REALLY?"

Angel shrugs his shoulders and says, "Yeah. I'm also 3 months behind on my rent and so free housing' sounds fucking good to me. Plus it'll be nice to not have to suck the greasy landlord's dick every month."

"Charming," Vaggie bluntly says.

Angel stretches his arms and says, "Anyway, if that's all, then I guess I should prolly get back to work today at least. If you gals ain't payin' for playin' I still need to make about-"

But suddenly, Charlie plops a stack of cash in Angel Dust's hands.

Confused, Angel asks, "What is this?"

"Money!" Charlie says.

"For...?" Angel says, confused.

"Helping us," Charlie says with sparkles in her eyes.

Angel soon stares at Charlie with a dumbfounded expression.

Then says, "...This is a trick."

"No. This is an investment in you," Charlie says.

She places her hand on Angel's chest and leans to him.

She then says, "There's a lot more to you than you think there is, Angel. We want to help you."

"Pfft okay..." Angel says and rolls his eyes, "I mean I don't really need any help so... yeh."

A little while later, Angel climbs out of the limo as he says, "... Okaayyy... Well um... Thanks. We'll be in though. Eh?"

"Yes and thank you!" Charlie says.

Charlie then closes the limo and the vehicle drives away.

"Sure," Angel says to himself.

Then clutches the cash in his hand.

Flashback Ends:

"Of course, later on, Angel came to stay at the hotel, and things were doing well," Charlie says.

Vaggie sighs, "Until that Turf War that appeared on the news with Angel in it. And involving your kids, your older sister, and dad ended up getting caught in the mess.

Charlie nervously chuckles and frowns, "Right."

"True. But like I said, I was helping out my pal as a solid," Angel says, "I mean, it's not my fault that one of Pentious's egg boi turned into a giant Egg monster."

"True, but you shouldn't be in that Turf War in general," Vaggie says.

Angel rolls his eyes in response.

They soon notice Tilla is already fast asleep. Keenan and Aurora are getting tired as well.

"Well, I think it's time you kids head to bed," Vaggie says.

"Yeah. It's getting late," Charlie says.

"Okay," Aurora says, and yawns, "Goodnight Charlie, Vaggie, Angel."

"Good night," Keenan says.

"Night kids," Angel says.

"Goodnight," Charlie says.

"Night," Vaggie says.

Angel and the girls take their leave from the room as the kids begin to fall asleep for the night. Angel then closes the door gently.

Angel yawns and stretches his arms, "Well, I'll head to my room."

"Yeah. I think I'm going to turn in for the night," Vaggie says.

Charlie yawns, "Yeah. Night Angel."

"Night," Vaggie says.

The girls then take their leave and head back to their room to get some sleep.

Angel slowly opens the front door to check on the kids who just fell asleep. Angel can't help but smile and gently closes the door.

He then remembers what happened after meeting Charlie and Vaggie.

Flashback:

After meeting Charlie and Vaggie, and being given the money for the night, Angel Dust decides to head back home for the night. He soon walks into an apartment complex and walks down the hall to his apartment. As he gets back home, he can't stop thinking of what just happened. He meets the princess, and takes part in a rehabilitation project. He still doesn't understand how or why he decided to get involved in this.

He opens the door with a sigh of exhaustion, and walks into his room. It's not a big room, but it's at least livable.

His room has pink walls, with a magenta carpet, and a pink and light pink rug. There is a mattress with a blanket and pillow, with a desk, a chair, and many different, adult toys around the room. Waking up from his sleep on his bed, is Fat Nuggets. His eyes and the pattern on his back glow.

Angel calls out, "Hey Nuggs, I'm home."

Seeing Angel, Fat Nuggets leaves his bed and walks to his owner.

He looks down as he says, "Redemption."

He then picks up Fat Nuggets, and walks to his bed to sit down.

He pets Nuggs on the head and says,"Silly, huh Nuggs!

Fat Nuggets squeals with glee.

Flashback Ends:

Angel simply smiles and says in thought, "I guess being in this hotel won't be so bad after all," and heads back to his room to relax before Blitz and Loona return home from their night out.
