Chapter 42: It starts with sorry?

A/N: Just want to quickly say this but who would die for that little goat in that latest Helluva Boss short? Shout out if you want to see that little cutie in the story!

I know a lot of people were looking forward to this song. Didn't think it was appropriate considering the hotel's mole put cameras in someone's room instead of Charlie's study.

Now that Hugo got caught it's time for him to explain himself. Depending on what he says the gang may or may not tear him to pieces.

Not only that how is Charlie going to fix this mess since she brought him into the hotel?

Hopefully everyone is ready for a song.

Song: It's starts with Sorry from Hazbin Hotel soundtrack.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss; I just own my characters.

Enjoy!

Blitzo was acting like a rabid caged racoon. Angel called him and told him what happened with their new 'tenant'. While they were waiting for Tony to make sure the hotel was camera free, they were holding the Imp back as he tried to go after Hugo.

"I'm going to rip your fucking eyes out and glue them to your asshole!" he screamed.

Loona held onto Blitzo's tail and held him back so he wouldn't attack Hugo. She wasn't trying to protect the gargoyle- she wanted to rip him to shreds with her teeth. She just knew it would have been a losing battle with the fucker pretty much being made of stone and he had military training.

She yanked on Blitzo's tail when he tried to get away.

"Down boy! Heel!" she barked.

Lue looked at the scene that was before him in the parlor. He had been away all day to explain to Lucifer what was going on at the hotel and the little incident with Vox. He assured his pupil that nothing like this was going to happen again since he would be keeping an eagle eye on the hotel from now on.

Of course while he said that, this shit show with Hugo happened.

He turned away from Hugo and turned his attention to Charlie. It astounded him how much Charlie acted like Lucifer. From the over the top ideas to the air headedness those two were cut from the same cloth.

And right now that was a bad thing.

"Do you have any idea what kind of danger you put everyone in just now?" he asked.

Charlie bit her lip. It was one thing to get scolded by Alastor, it was another to be chewed out by her tenants. She was scared about the tongue lashing she was for sure going to receive from Jenny since her room was tampered with.

"I didn't think something serious like this would happen" she said quietly.

"Are you kidding me right now?!" Lue snapped.

"This isn't Heaven, your Highness! This is Hell! This is the place where damned souls go when they die. They are down here for a reason. While most of the Sinners that are down here have done petty crimes such as stealing and doing drugs there are some of the most dangerous souls here as well. I'm talking serial killers, rapists, tyrants, psychopaths, the list goes on. Your father has some of the most vile souls that have walked this earth locked away because even they are too dangerous to walk the streets of the Pride Ring. Do you get where I'm going with this?"

He gestured to Hugo.

"You can't just let Sinners come in here just because they said they want to. For all everyone knows, this guy wanted to rob the hotel and take everything that we have. He could have been trying to kill someone. He could have been a rapist and you just let him in here where half of the tenants are female! Do you get why everyone is upset about this?! Fuck you didn't even check to see if we were dangerous when we came to the hotel!"

"Should we be talking about him like this when he is standing right here?" Pentious asked.

Hugo shrugged.

"Nah he has a point. I was actually alarmed she let me come here so easily like that. The Vees did say this place really didn't have any security. Didn't realize how bad it was" he said.

Vaggie aimed her spear at Hugo's neck and growled.

"Why were you working with them to begin with? What could you have possibly gotten out of spying on us?"

Hugo's face faltered and his wings dropped.

"They said they would help me" he said.

"I had two Hellhounds under my care. Two little children who were unfortunate enough to be born in this cruel realm that we call Hell. I made sure they stayed off the streets and didn't end up in the pound where some fucked up pompous rich assholes could adopt them for the sole purpose of being their little show dogs or who knows what the fuck they do with their pets"

He looked at Blitzo. He was surprised with how he treated Loona. She for sure didn't act like someone's pet. The fact that someone who stayed at this hotel was respectful to Hellhounds and treated them like people was good in his books.

"You know what I'm talking about seeing as you have your own hound"

"That's my daughter you fucking piece of shit" Blitzo snarled.

"Sorry, I'm used to seeing Hellhounds be treated as pets" Hugo said.

"Anyway, I've been keeping an eye on these two since they were pups. I wasn't their owner or their parent…I was just there for them when they needed someone the most. When Extermination Day came, we got separated when our hiding spot got hit. After it ended I tried searching for them. I knew they weren't killed because Hellborns are excluded from the cleanse. I eventually found out someone snagged them and brought them to the pound. Since they didn't have 'owners', that meant anyone could get their hands on them"

Everyone looked at Hugo skeptically.

"If you found them in the pound, why couldn't you have just adopted them and got them out?" Angel Dust said.

"They're Corgis" Hugo said.

Blitzo and Loona made a face when they heard that.

"Ah shit"

"Why is their breed a factor in all of this?" Vaggie said.

"Those are one of the most sought after breeds. Thanks to my country's Queen their popularity has made it that they are a status of royalty. If they're good for the Queen, they're good for anyone" Hugo said.

"That's one of the reasons why I kept them safe. A lot of people would do anything to get their hands on a Corgi Hellhound. If you want to show you have money and power, that's one way to brag. Since they're so sought after, you can understand why the pound wouldn't let some down on his luck soldier adopt them. Why give it to some poor twat when they could get a fortune selling them to one of the Overlords or Hellborn Royalty? I was desperate to get them out of there before someone else could get them…that's when I ran into the Vees. Vox said he would be able to get them out of the pound since he had a big enough pull in the entertainment industry. He would act like he was adopting them to promote his products. In return for his help I was supposed to act like I was staying here to be redeemed so I could spy on his 'runaway soul'"

He looked at Jenny. Husker made her sit behind the bar so she was away from Hugo and had a barrier to keep her safe. She had been very, very quiet since this whole ordeal happened. It was obvious that the human was pissed. Her lips were pressed in a hard line, her arms were crossed as a way of guarding herself and her eyes were as cold as ice. She was not happy with Charlie or this situation.

"Velvette made it sound like Vox owed your friend's soul. Said she was trying to break free from him and when he wouldn't let her leave V tower, she beat the shit out of him and escaped. I was supposed to find out what she was doing in this hotel so he could bring her back to 'where she belonged'. I didn't realize he was being a pervert" he said.

"If Vox owned her soul she wouldn't have been able to leave V tower. Aside from the leash he has on all the souls he owns, he keeps cameras and trackers on them 24/7 so he knows what they're up to" Angel Dust said.

"One of his 'pets' managing to get away should have been a dead give away that he was lying"

Hugo's wings dropped low. He had been played. Not only did he make an ass of himself but he realized that Vox wasn't really going to help him free those two Hellhounds from the pound.

Tony and a few of his men came back after searching the whole hotel. They all dropped the devices they found that Hugo had planted around the hotel.

"Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn't good that I found these period" he said.

"Fortunately no one else had cameras in their rooms. We did find a lot of microphones though. Most of them were in the main areas that we usually stay in like the lobby, kitchen and in your case princess your office. For a big giant, this guy is pretty sneaky to not be spotted right away"

Everyone slowly looked at Hugo with disgusted looks.

"What? I was fighting against the Germans who were up to not so great things on their end. Obviously I trained on how to spy on the enemy so my side could win" the gargoyle shrugged.

Mei held her katana up to Hugo's neck.

"Now that we know his reasonings for what he did, what should we do with him?"

"Obviously kick him out. He doesn't want to be redeemed" Vaggie said.

"Should we though? He might go back to the Vees over this" Angel asked.

"That parasite won't take him back. Vox will act like he doesn't know who our gargoyle friend is to save face" Alastor said.

Hugo looked slightly alarmed.

"You're just going to throw me out after hearing my story?"

"Uh yeah? You were spying on us and put cameras in a woman's room. Why the fuck would we let you stay here?" Angel spat.

"I was just following orders so I could save these two kids" Hugo insisted.

"And if Vox told you to jump off a building would you ask how high?" Husker asked.

"Much like gambling, you placed your bet on the wrong hand and now you lost"

Hugo was starting to freak out now. He knew he had no right to be upset because of what he did, but he was scared about those two kids he was trying to save.

"I need to help those kids. If I don't get them out of the pound soon, someone will get them. Please, you have to help me"

"Why the fuck would we help you when you screwed us over?" Angel snapped.

"I'm not asking you to help me, I'm asking you to help these two kids" Hugo said.

He looked at Charlie pleadingly.

"You can kick me out and I'll go. I just want those kids out of that shit hole. I'll do whatever you want just please help me get them back" he pleaded.

"What could you possibly have to offer?" Vaggie said.

Hugo held out his hand where a gold contract materialized. He opened it up to reveal his name and all his information.

A soul contract.

"I'm willing to give up my freedom for those two kids. I know how much you higher ups love owning souls. If you help me get those kids out, this is yours" he said.

Angel, Husker and Alastor were surprised Hugo was willing to give up his soul so easily like that.

"You're that desperate to help those kids?" Husker asked.

"They're kids. They shouldn't have to suffer because of how messed up this place is" Hugo said.

He dropped to his knee and presented his soul contract to Charlie.

"I'm sorry I deceived you, your highness. I didn't mean to put your tenants in harms way, I was just trying to help two innocent souls. If I give you this, will you please help them?" he begged.

Everyone looked at Charlie, wondering what she was going to do about this. She made this mess to begin with. The logical thing was to kick Hugo out but since kids were now involved, they needed to deal with this without looking like assholes themselves.

Charlie did what she thought would help. She pushed the contract down and offered her hand to Hugo.

It starts with "sorry"

Everyone looked at Charlie with a mixture of confusion and anger. Did she seriously think it was the best time to sing?!

That's your foot in the door,

One simple "Sorry"

Spoken straight from your core.

The path to forgiveness

Is a twisting trail of hearts

But "Sorry" is where it starts.

Blitzo shook with anger as Charlie sang. She just let a guy enter the hotel and got caught putting cameras in someone's room and she thought singing would fix this situation?!

He opened his mouth to yell at her when Alastor pressed his microphone to his mouth to shut him up. The radio demon wasn't looking at Charlie but rather at Jennifer. He saw the human's eyes were blazing with anger.

"I would save your breath. It seems Charlie made the mistake of setting off Miss. Firecracker's fuse and she's about to explode"

"You're not going to stop her?" Loona asked.

Alastor tucked his arms behind his back and watched Jennifer with a twisted grin.

"No. I believe it's about time Charlie got a tongue lashing from our little firecracker. I'm looking forward to the show she's about to give us"

Loona and Blitzo looked at Jenny and made a face when they saw how angry she was. Charlie wasn't going to get a tongue lashing. She was going to be hung, drawn and quartered.

Hugo was a little freaked out that Charlie suddenly started to sing about being Sorry. He backed up a bit when he saw the princess was lost in her own world with singing.

"Maybe this was a bad idea" he muttered.

"Charlie. He did something bad. We can't let this go" Vaggie pointed out.

"But who hasn't been in his shoes?" Charlie sang.

"I don't wear shoes" Pentious pointed out.

Charlie continued with her singing, not realizing the bomb she ignited was about to erupt.

"It starts with 'Sorry'

Sorry

Dig down deeper

And say one

Sincere 'sorry'

And your journey's underway.

It'll take time to cover

Your vast multitude of Sins

But 'sorry' is where it begins.

It starts with 'Sorr-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Everyone whipped around to see Jenny. The human walked from behind the bar and slammed the door with enough force to break the lock. Anyone who was nearby jumped out of the way so they wouldn't face her wrath.

She stood in front of Hugo and Charlie with such anger in her eyes that it made them seem like they were literally ablaze.

"He put cameras around the hotel to spy on us and your first thought was to sing a song about being sorry?!" she yelled.

Charlie realized she fucked up big time. Jenny had never been mad with her. Even if she made a mistake, Jenny was nice enough to explain why the things she did was a bad idea and did it in a calm manner as if she were speaking to a kid. She appreciated the human's kindness and patience cause it was very much needed.

This version of Jenny on the other hand was downright scary. No one except Blitzo had seen her when she was full on mad. And for good reasons.

Jenny turned to Hugo with that same cold look in her eyes. If the gargoyle hadn't had all those years of training to have a stiff upper lip, he would be shaking in his boots right now.

"You put microphones around the hotel so the Vees could hear what we were doing but the only camera you set up was in a woman's room? Do you know how scary, invasive and disturbing that is for a woman? It's bad enough that the moment we leave our homes, we have to be on guard 24/7 because the world seems to hate women. We have to deal with being cat called, hear sexist remarks, rebuff unwanted attention, not be alone when it's dark out and not leave our drinks unattended because of pigs like you. The only place that we can feel safe and let our guards down is when we're in our room. The fact that someone could have seen me getting undressed creeps me out. Do you see why I'm freaking out? And you want to know another fucked up thing you did for yourself?"

"…what?" Hugo asked slowly.

"Since you ratted out on that piece of shit TV and had him get caught, I'll bet you everything that he went to that pound where those two kids are being held and told the people who are in charge of that place about you. How you snuck cameras into a woman's room and that he had proof of it. They would for sure not let you adopt them cause if you could spy on a woman while she's getting change then who knows what you would do when it came to children. Doesn't matter if you ask Charlie for help, you pretty much shot yourself in the foot with this one by staying here"

Hugo felt bile rise up in his throat. Jenny was right. He wouldn't put it past Vox to do something like that to get back at him. If you disappointed the Vees then you would pay the price.

Now he was for sure not going to be able to save those two pups. He would never see them again.

Blitzo was silent as this scene unfolded. Holding the bridge of his nose, he growled knowing what he had to do but didn't want to.

"Fucking Christ on as Stick"

He pulled out his phone and went through his contacts.

"Is this the pound that's near the outskirts of the city? The one that used to be a prison/crack house?"

Hugo was dumbfounded but slowly nodded.

"Yeah…why do you ask?"

Blitzo found the number he was looking for and sent a text message.

"My name is in their system from when I adopted Loona so they know my background. Since they have me in their records it shouldn't be hard for me to try to get them out. I'll just have to ask Stolas nicely to loan me the money to get them since they're Corgis"

Everyone was shocked. Blitzo had every right to be angry and furious for what Hugo did since he was spying on Jenny. Instead he was helping him?!

"Why would you help me?" Hugo asked.

Blitzo rolled his eyes and put his phone away.

"I'm not doing this for you, fuck head. I'm only doing this because kids are involved and I know what that place is like. Plus Angel and Bambi caught you right away so unless Jenny tells me to, I won't wont rip your eyes out"

He turned to Charlie and glared at her. He was so done giving the princess second and third chances. While he was grateful for her keeping Jenny safe when she found her, he was furious by how careless she was when it came to the hotel's safety. He made sure his staff and Loona were safe when they took on missions. If he sensed that something was a tiny bit dangerous he would call it off because at the end of the day, he was responsible for them and their safety. He was reckless but he used his head when it came to common sense.

Charlie opened her mouth to say something but Blitzo held a finger up and pointed it at her.

"The only reason I haven't trashed this place yet is because you paid off Verosika's bills and I still need to repay you for that. Since I'm helping you clean this mess up and getting those hellhounds out of the pound, this will make us even. You are lucky that I still owed you otherwise this whole situation would be another story" he said harshly.

Charlie nodded slowly knowing it was a bad idea to piss off Blitzo even further.

Jenny on the other hand was a different story and still had more to say. Now that the whole situation with Hugo was taken care of-for now, it was time Charlie learned a lesson about common sense.

"Since we've heard Hugo's sob story, everyone beat it. Charlie and I need to have a staff meeting" Jenny said.

When no one moved, she gave them a harsh stare.

"Unless you want to be caught in the crossfire and get yelled at too, I suggest you leave in the next five seconds. 1…"

Everyone bolted and ran out of the parlor where they either went up to their rooms or hid in the kitchen. Lue grabbed Hugo by the arm and tugged him along.

"I'm keeping my eyes on you until this whole situation is resolved" he said.

"You mean he's still going to stay here?!" Mei cried.

"If you want to go back down and get your head cut off for asking, be my guest" Lue replied.

They would have rather stay holed up with a mole than get yelled at by Jenny.

With everyone gone, it was only Jenny, Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor standing in the lobby. Jenny gave Alastor a dull glare.

"When I told everyone to beat it, I meant you too, Al"

Alastor wasn't bothered by her remark and just looked at his claws.

"Seeing as how I'm the host of the hotel, that means I'm part of the staff so I should be included in the staff meeting" he said.

"And I have a few things to say so what better time to say them then at our meeting?"

He mostly stayed in case he had to pull Jenny away for getting too heated up with her outbursts but they didn't need to know that. But he did have a few things he wanted to say after this whole ordeal.

"I'll go first since mine will be short. You can chew Charlie out once I say my piece, Jennifer" he said.

He clasped his microphone in front of him and gave Charlie a hard stare. He was livid with how naïve and stupid the princess was with this stunt. Nifty could have been in danger as well. Even if she could defend herself, she was still a tiny, petite woman. And since he owned her soul, that meant he was responsible for her safety since she served him. By putting his vessels in danger, that meant he was put in danger. And no one crossed the Radio Demon.

"After this little stunt, there will be no new tenants entering this hotel in the foreseeable future" he said.

Charlie was shocked by his statement. She glared at him for making such a demand.

"This is my hotel. I should be able to decided what happens here" she reasoned.

Alastor narrowed his eyes at her.

"Charlie, I can't believe I'm saying this but…I agree with him" Vaggie said.

Charlie looked at her girlfriend in shock.

"Vaggie?!"

Vaggie looked at the floor for a second and sighed before looking back at Charlie.

"We have four tenants that have been in the hotel for months now. Since that time not once have we managed to see if it's possible for them to be redeemed so they could go to heaven. If we still have no idea how they can enter heaven, why would we take more Sinners in? As much as I want to see this place succeed…I don't want to get their hopes up only for it to come crashing down" she said.

"Until we can figure out how to help the Sinners who are here and want to be here, we shouldn't be taking anyone else in"

Charlie looked at her girlfriend helplessly.

"This hotel will work. I just need to iron out the couple of wrinkles that are here and there" she insisted.

"Considering what just happened, I would question that statement" Jenny said tartly.

Now that Alastor and Vaggie said their piece, it was Jenny's turn.

Charlie was about to get a harsh lesson about not using her common sense. Jenny got close to Charlie and just looked at her with an icy stare.

"You want to prove everyone that this hotel isn't a joke. Well after what just happened the only thing you proved is showing everyone they were right. How can anyone take this place seriously when you won't take their safety seriously? They were willing to put their trust in you and give this place a chance to see if they can reach Heaven. The only thing you showed them and me is that you would blindly let anyone stay in the hotel because you're desperate to show everyone that Sinners want to stay here and prove them wrong. Do you know how much backlash and ridicule you would have faced if Hugo was actually a creep and planning to do harmful things to us? Even though we know Angel, Mei, Pentious and Lue would never harm anyone at the hotel and are decent people, you didn't bother to check into that when they first came here. Shit, when we met Pentious the first time, he blew a hole in the wall and almost blew up the building before Alastor stopped him. We know that now he's a precious noodle and was just showing off his skills but what if he really planned to blow us all up? You didn't check to see if he was a danger. Angel works for one of the Vees. Bigfoot might be an idiot but Vox isn't. What's to stop him from asking Val to use Angel to spy on us without even Angel knowing? Everyone is scared for their safety because of the Extermination. Don't give them a reason to be scared of their own home either"

When she saw the tears in Charlie's eyes, Jenny's glare faltered at bit. She might have been mad, but she wasn't cruel.

"I'm forever grateful for everything that you've done for me since I got here, Charlie. If you hadn't helped me out when you did I know I wouldn't have lasted long down here. I promised that I'd help you in return and that's what I'm trying to do by giving you a dose of reality. You need to stop proving a point with this hotel. Forget what everyone is saying and focus on the ones who wanted to give this place a chance. No one is looking for numbers, they're looking for results. You think people give a shit about how many souls an Overlord owns? No, they give a shit because they bring results and show why they are in power"

Alastor made a face and held up a finger.

"Actually they do look to see how many souls a-"

He quickly shut his mouth when Jenny gave him a look.

Jenny looked back at Charlie.

"You owe everyone an apology for this mess you made. Not a song about it, but a genuine apology. And while we're on the subject of apologies, the next time you start singing about it, make sure you're apologizing to the victim of this mess instead of to the person who caused it. They might forgive you faster if you do" she said.

A couple tears fell down Charlie's face. She needed this wake up call but it was still very hurtful to hear it from someone she considered a dear friend.

Angel Dust came down the stairs carefully, not wanting to be Jenny's next target.

"I got your bed fixed in my room, toots. I just wanted to walk you back so you didn't have to be alone in the hallway while we have our gargoyle friend still here"

He gave Charlie a pointed look.

Alastor looked at Jenny and saw how drained she was. This was a long, stressful night for her. He gently patted her on the head and gestured for her to follow Angel.

"Get some rest, dear"

Jenny slowly left the lobby and went over to Angel who wrapped an arm around her when she reached him. They went up the stairs leaving the three other residents in the lobby.

"I believe we all managed to get what we wanted off of our chests. Hopefully you wrote everything down that we mentioned, Charlie" Alastor said.

"I should see how Nifty is coming along with getting Jennifer's new room ready. I doubt the Imp will want her to stay with the spider for too long"

He went up the stairs without another word.

With everyone gone, Charlie finally broke down in tears and cried into her hands. She really messed up big time. Not only did she put everyone in harms way, she made everyone mad with her foolish mistake. If they didn't leave the hotel because of this, it would be a miracle. She didn't know how she was going to make this up to everyone let alone Jenny.

Vaggie just held her girlfriend and rubbed her back as the princess sobbed.

It was going to take more than an apology song to fix this.

/

Alastor made it towards the hallway where his living quarters resided. He should have asked if Jenny was alright with moving to a new room but he was more concerned about the woman's safety. No one would dare come close to the Radio Demon's quarters unless they wanted to be torn in half and eaten.

He stopped walking when he realized he wasn't alone anymore and sighed.

"Jennifer is still staying here" he said.

Behind him, Blitzo growled in anger.

"You honestly expect me to believe she's safer here after this latest fuck up?" he spat.

Alastor turned around to look at the imp. His usual glare had a tired edge to it. It was a long night and he didn't have the energy to fight with the annoying imp.

"Trust me, I am livid with Charlie's stupidity because she put my staff in danger as well" he said.

"However there is a bigger issue now thanks to all of this and we have our little TV friend to thank for that. It's not shocking that Vox has eyes on this place and has his sights set specifically on Jennifer. That means whatever she does from now on, he'll probably know about it and do whatever it takes to get his hands on her. If she were to leave and stay with you, Vox would be at your apartment waiting for you before you could even step into the building. You really want to pick a fight with someone who can see your next move before you do?"

"How is her still staying here going to keep her safe? You going to lock her up again?" Blitzo spat.

Alastor scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Like I have said before in the past I will not make that mistake twice. I'm still trying to find my missing records" he said tartly.

"I'm sure you've noticed from all the times you've barged into this place that there is no form of modern technology anywhere. That's on purpose for many reasons. First, it's because I simply hate it and think it's a stupid, pointless piece of entertainment. The other is because Vox has no power over older forms of technology. Things were built differently back in the day so that means there are different ways to get a strong signal. While he has stronger power over smart tvs and hellphones I have stronger control over radio signals and older tvs. He can't mess with my domain while I'm in charge of it"

Blitzo caught on what Alastor was saying. By getting rid of what Vox had control over, that meant there wasn't a way for him to spy on the hotel. Alastor could use his powers like a shield from prying eyes.

"You might be able to keep him away from spying into the hotel but what about when Jenny wants to do things around the city? Think you can keep that fucker from spying on her with his many drones he has flying around town?"

Alastor fiddle with something on his microphone. The imp did have a point. He couldn't shadow Jenny around all the time without fear of getting hit in the face. Perhaps it was time to be the bigger man and set some differences aside.

"I'm willing to make a compromise with you" he said while still looking at his microphone.

Blitzo scoffed in disgust.

"You think I'm stupid enough to make a deal with you?" he spat.

Alastor rolled his eyes and glared at Blitzo.

"I said compromise, not deal you idiot. What use would I have for an Imp soul?" he snapped.

"I'm…willing…to set our differences aside thanks to this new issue. I still feel like Jennifer is better off staying here but I know you'll throw a fit with her being here while Hugo is still around. Here is my offer"

What he said next shocked the Imp.

/

The next day

It was no surprise that everyone was tense in the hotel. Since Blitzo offered to rescue the two Hellhounds Hugo watched, he had to stay in the hotel until their deal was done. They didn't want him to stay but since this whole issue was tied to the wellbeing of kids, no one really had a choice.

What they did have a say in, was if they had to be in the same room as him. While the gargoyle was sitting on a couch in the parlor, everyone was huddled around Husker's bar glaring at him. Just because he apologized for his wrong doing didn't mean they had to forgive him. Seemed like Charlie forgot that when she sang her silly song.

Charlie of course was super quiet after she cried her eyes out last night. Everyone seemed to have avoided her too.

It seemed like she was taking one step forward and three steps back with this hotel.

Jenny looked at the pattern on the table, not wanting to deal with anyone. She really wished this whole issue with Martha and who hired her would be resolved. She had grown fond of everyone at the hotel but she wanted to go home.

Blitzo burst into the hotel with a bunch of bags and suitcases in his arms.

"Honey, I'm home!" he cried.

Everyone looked at the Imp dully.

"Now what the fuck is he up to?" Husker grumbled.

Loona appeared after Blitzo with a couple bags as well. She looked annoyed about what was going on.

"Blitz…why do you have a bunch of bags with you?" Jenny asked slowly.

"Because dumbass here forgot to pay our rent for the last couple months and our landlord kicked us out" Loona spat.

"I didn't forget to pay the rent, I forgot to sign the new lease. Big difference" Blitzo clarified.

"Not really since he kicked us out" Loona snapped.

Alastor came into the lobby. Everyone was expecting him to kick the Imp out like he usually did.

The exact opposite happened.

He went up to Blitzo with that usual shit eating grin on his face.

"Oh perfect! You're just in time!" he said.

"Nifty should have your rooms ready by now"

Now everyone was confused. Alastor had rooms made up for Blitz and Loona? What the fuck was going on?!

"Alastor, what is going on here? I thought you said no more tenants?" Charlie said.

Alastor turned around to face the group with that grin still on his face.

"Indeed I did. However, our dear Imp friend and his mutt are not tenants. I have hired them" he said.

Everyone blinked a couple of times. What did he just say?

"You what?"

"Hired them" Alastor repeated.

"After that little incident with our new…tenant, it has been brought to everyone's attention that this hotel really doesn't have any security. If they are so gracious enough to give this project a chance it is up to us staff to keep them safe while they stay here. And since our annoying Imp squatters are always here and we know them I felt it was ideal to have them be security for the hotel. It just so happens that their lease was up so they were able to move in right away to start their job. Perfect timing wouldn't you say? When they're not doing whatever it is for their job, they'll be stationed here guarding the hotel"

The group was dumbfounded. Alastor, who was know to hate Blitzo and always tried to kick him out had hired him to be security? Was the world ending a lot sooner?!

"You hired Blitz?" Jenny said slowly.

"When he annoys the shit out of you? Are you having a stroke, Al?"

Alastor rolled his eyes at the petty comment.

"I am known to let bygones be bygones. Isn't that one of the key points of this hotel?" he said.

"And I know he would have snuck in here while our gargoyle friend is still here so I beat around the bush with this whole situation"

Charlie wanted to say something to Alastor but she kept her mouth shut. She had no right to tell him how to run the hotel when he was trying to fix this mess.

Blitzo looked at Alastor out of the corner of his eye. He was shocked when the demon suggested this idea. He didn't know if the radio demon had something else up his sleeves by having IMP stay at the hotel but he didn't care. Now he for sure could keep Jenny safe until he got her home.

Jenny didn't know what to think about this situation. It seemed Alastor must have been really bothered by the who security issue if he hired Blitz of all people to act as their bodyguard. It quickly dawned on her that Alastor said IMP instead of just Blitzo.

Did that mean…

Just then, Millie and Moxxie stormed into the hotel soaking wet and looked like drowned rats. Moxxie growled as he glared at his boss.

"You fucking asshole! I saw you break off the shut off valve for the water line of my house! Everything is flooded!"

Blitzo ignored him and turned to Charlie and Vaggie.

"So where's my room going to be at?"

And that's how the hotel took care of their security issue. If IMP was capable of being hitmen then that meant they could do bodyguard work just fine.

This would resolve the trust issue everyone was having…right?

A/N: Yeah, you know you have an issue with your hotel if Alastor hires Blitzo of all people to guard it.

I feel bad for having Jenny chew Charlie out to the point she made the princess cry but this was the wake up call she needs. I felt like everyone was way to forgiving and quick to forget the mess she made when she let Pentious into the hotel on the show. If anyone can get through the princess's head and make her see this project without rose tinted glasses, it's Jenny.

Do you think Hugo should be forgiven now that everyone knows the reason why he agreed to act as a mole for the Vees? I feel like some of you are going to say 'if Hugo was alive during WW2, wouldn't Elizabeth's dad be on the throne?'. That's true but she did have Corgis growing up and Sinners are aware of what's going on in the human realm since everyone dies everyday.

I would apologize for bragging about Corgis being a big deal in the dog world but since that's the type of dog I have of course I'm going to brag about my dogs (pet owners I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about). Are we going to see a couple Corgis in the hotel? Guess that depends if Blitzo is able to get them out of the pound and if everyone forgives Hugo.

Please review and tell me what you think!

Take care!
