Angel woke the next afternoon to find Snuggles liking his face. He must not have shut his door all the way the night before. "Hey, Fuzzball…" He muttered. "Let's go find Desty." He walked down to Wesley's old office, which was now Desty's make-shift bedroom. He knocked on the door. Desty answered. Angel noticed that her stuff was packed up. "You going somewhere?"
Desty nodded. "Yeah, I got a job and a place to stay."
"When did that happen?"
Desty took Snuggles and put his leash on him. "Last night, I sang a song for this green demon. He liked my voice and gave me a job at his club, Cari-something-or-other."
"So you're just going to pack up and leave?"
Desty picked up her duffle bag. "Look, I'm a street kid. If a job comes up that gives me a way to avoid becoming a whore, then I have to take it. This job means cash and a place that I can legally call my own. A job also means protection, something the CEO of Wolfram & Fuckin'-Hart wouldn't need to worry about." Desty said defensively, as she pushed past Angel.
Angel watched her leave. A few minutes later, Willow came down the stairs. She noticed his far-off gaze. "She ran, didn't she?"
Angel nodded. "Yeah, she ran. But I have an idea where she probably went." He said as he turned to walk up the stairs.
Willow looked up at him. "Where…?"
"Wuz goin' on?" Spike added. "Where's Desty?"
"She ran off. A demon gave her a job. I think the demon was Lorne."
"Lorne! You really think he's still around?"
"She said it was a green demon. He gave her a job singing at his club. She told me the name was 'Cari-something-or-other.' Now I don't know about you, but I'm guessing the name is Caritas. If that is the case, then I only know of one demon that fits that description."
Desty walked into the now darkened club. "Hello? Anyone here?"
Lorne stood up behind the bar. "Anybody's here, sunshine. Is that all your stuff?" He had expected her to have more belongings.
Desty shrugged. "Street kids usually have to travel light."
"Well, you're not a street kid anymore. You're an official resident and employee of Caritas II. I'll take you shopping later on, after you get settled." Snuggles let out a small yap and attempted to get free. "Well, aren't you just the cutest ball of fur? What's his name?"
"Snuggles. I'm Desty."
"Most people call me the host, but you can call me Lorne."
"Cool, nice to meet you." Desty said.
"Likewise. Come on, I'll show you to your room and let you get settled."
