It has been another week since Angel disappeared and no one has heard anything from him. Charlie was extremely worried while everyone else was just starting to get a little concerned.

"Where could Angel be?" Charlie said in a slight panic.

"Hon, calm down. I am sure he is fine." Vaggie said in the calmest voice she could do but underneath she also found his disappearance weird.

"Fine?! It has been 3 weeks! Almost a month since we heard from him!" Charlie said in hysterics.

"Now now I am sure it is not that bad." Vaggie tried her best to calm Charlie but it was not working.

"We need to go look for him! He might be hurt! Or kidnapped! Or worse!" Charlie was losing her mind in worry.

Just then out of nowhere a familiar staticky voice spoke. "My my. What is all this fuss about?"

Charlie looked over at Alastor who didn't look at all bothered by the fact Angel was missing. All this time he never once showed concern for Angel. Even Husker commented about his disappearance but Alastor has not.

"Angel is still gone. I want to go and look for him." Charlie explained, still in a panic.

"Now why do you need to do that? He is a fellow demon. He can handle himself." Alastor said.

"But it has almost been a month. That is not normal. Something must have happened."

"Even if it did, I don't see why it should concern you. This is the underworld and everyone including Angel needs to face their punishments."

"But does he have to do it alone?" Charlie asked. Alastor looked at her with his devilish grin.

"Not like anyone down here besides you would even think of taking it upon themselves to look."

"I would!" Said an unfamiliar female voice. Everyone looked towards the front door and a worn out cyclops demon was there panting. She tried to stand tall but her heavy breathing made it obvious she was running around for a while and was tired. No one recognized her but Charlie, noticing her messy pink hair and bomb tattoo, realized it was Angel's friend Cherri bomb. Angel has talked about her before and Charlie wasn't sure about how good of an influence she was but since she seemed to be Angel's only and closest friend she let her feelings about her go.

"What was that dear?" Alastor asked to confirm what she just said.

"I would look for him. Judging by how blondie is panicking over there I take it Angie hasn't been here." Cherri looked very worried.

"No! Have you seen him at all?" Charlie asked.

"Not for almost a month. I thought it was weird so I started looking around but I can't find any sign of him. Not even a whisper about him on the streets either."

"That's not good. Do you have any idea where he could be?" Charlie asked.

"I have looked everywhere I could think of…" she paused for a moment then gave a quiet growl. "It must be his doing." Cherri looked very angry.

"Who?" Charlie asked.

Cherri looked at her for a moment before answering, "No one. If he is not here I got to go." Cherri said before trying to leave, but before she could Charlie ran up and grabbed her by the wrist, and stopped her in her tracks.

"Wait! Please let me help search!" Charlie was near pleading.

Cherri looked at her in annoyance. "Do you have any idea who you might be up against?" Charlie could only shake her head no. "It's Angel's boss. Valentino."

Charlie gained a smile and said, "oh so we can ask him where Angel is?" Cherri was disguised by Charlie's response.

"Not in anyone's life. He is probably the one behind Angie's disappearance."

"What? Why do you think that?" Charlie asked obviously.

"Are you serious?" Cherri was mega annoyed. "Do you have any idea how badly Valentino treats Angie?"

"I guess not. Angel doesn't talk about his work much. I only know he works on the street doing…" Charlie blushed and paused "...those things."

"That doesn't even describe half of what Angie goes through." Cherri took a deep breath to calm herself a bit. "Angie is constantly being abused by Valentino. And I don't just be physically. I also mean financial and sexually. He forces Angie to work for days on end till he collapses and takes most of his profits. If Angie resisted he beats him so hard Angie can barely move. If that wasn't enough he even…" Cherri's whole face started turning red from anger. She couldn't bring herself to talk about the days Angie came home crying, beaten, and broken. Just thinking about it made Cherri fume with rage. ``...he just isn't someone a princess like you could handle."

Charlie was dumbfounded. She didn't know how to respond to this new information. She felt anger towards Angel's horrible boss but also guilt for not realizing Angel's pain. Just then Alastor spoke again and this time it made the room silent.

"And what is wrong with that? He has fallen down here. It is to be expected." He said this like it was nothing. He didn't even flinch when everyone in the room looked at him with shock, disgust, and hatred.

Cherri took that statement the hardest. She instantly raged and not caring anymore about who Alastor was, lunged at him with all her might grabbing his collar and forcing him to face her. "What was that!? Who are you to decide that!? All sinners are different down here! You might deserve that harsh treatment but Angie does not! He never wanted to live the life he had and he doesn't deserve the afterlife he has now!" Everything Cherri said was mashed together and was kind of hard to hear but still, her point was heard.

"My dear a sinner is a sinner. It doesn't matter what they did. It's survival of the fittest down and Angel, unfortunately, is lower than this Valentino." Alastor still didn't lose his grin or the coldness in his voice.

"Maybe, but that doesn't mean he has to fight alone. I will fight with him and I will give my whole afterlife to help him."

Just then Charlie came in and said, "I will too. He is trying to change and that is enough reason to help him. But even more than that he is our friend and friends help each other."

Cherri was stunned. She never thought anyone would agree with her. She honestly thought Charlie only looked at Angel as a patient and wouldn't care about him. Hearing her say that made her calm down a bit to where she released Alastor.

"Do you mean that?" Cherri wanted to make sure she was serious.

"Of course," Charlie said without a second thought.

Cherri looked at everyone else to see if anyone would also agree. After a second Vaggie spoke. "He may be a pain but Charlie believes in him and admittedly I also think his life is too harsh, so let me help too."

Though Cherri didn't like how unmotivated she was she realized that more help would be beneficial. Unfortunately, no one else spoke out. Husker only shrugged without saying anything and drank his cheap booze. Niffty wasn't paying attention at all since she kept noticing something to clean. Meanwhile, Alastor was finally silent. There was not even radio silence; he was just silent. Cherri found this weird since she thought he would continue to argue but he didn't. After Vaggie decided to go he just walked away without a word. Cherri didn't care though.

"Alright. So if we are going to save Angie we first need to find him." Cherri said.

"Great and how do we do that?" Charlie said ready to go.

"I have no idea," Cherri said bluntly.

"Great," Vaggie said sarcastically.

"Well let's go sit down and talk about it. I am sure we will come up with something." Charlie said leading the way to the living room.
