Vaggie waited for Lucifer to arrive. Drinking some tea in the den to help calm herself down, she occasionally checked the grandfather clock to see how long until Lucifer gets here since every second passing could be Charlie suffering.
The ticking was slowly getting on her nerves, though.
'Stay calm. It was a gift from Mammon, a really expensive gift that he just bought to brag about but still.' Vaggie thought as a servant refilled her tea up.
Even adding some bourbon to help calm herself down instead of sugar cubes.
"Thank you, Jeeves." Vagfie said as she took a sip.
Right as Lucifer arrived.
"VAGGIE!" He shouted as he busted down the door.
"In the den!" Vaggie yelled before chugging her Irish tea, putting the cup down and standing up.
"Vaggie, what is being done to find Charlie?!" Lucifer asked as he ran in, somewhat panicking. "And where is Emily?!"
"She's still in Pentagram City, searching every inch of it with some of our the guards and reformed exorcists." Vaggie explained.
Lucifer growled, thinking of his ex-wife in a very NEGATIVE way.
"When I find that bitch, I am going to rip her apart!" Lucifer shouted.
"Lilith or Roo?" Vaggie asked.
"BOTH! Mostly Lilith right now but still!" Lucifer shouted as he began pacing around. "That fucking two faced bitch thinks she can just drop in after almost 30 years after since our divorce and just abscond with my daughter?! She has got another thing coming!"
"I can underatand that but please, calm down. I've learned from experience that being angry would solve nothing right now." Vaggie said.
"It helps me focus! Now what's our game plan?!" Lucifer said, still pacing but keeping his eyes on Vaggie.
"We have to find them first." Vaggie said.
"And then?" Lucifer added.
"We plan an attack, rain down hell on Lilith, and get Charlie back." Vaggie said as she walked past Lucifer. "Right now, we need you. Heaven, Hell, even Earth, you've been to them all and can search them all. You're the most important one that could help us find her."
"Gladly. So, how do we find her?" Lucifer asked, following Vaggie.
"Well after trying to track Charlie's phone, I learned it's either destroyed or she's not in Hell anymore. So there is the chance she could've been taken to earth." Vaggie said.
"No, if that was the case, then heaven would've immediately been alerted." Lucifer said, shaking his head. "A few years ago, I installed a new policy in the event a powerful demon is on Earth, just in case an overlord somehow found a way to earth and decided to create chaos, then there would be an alarm that went off, alerting the higher ups and Archangels. Seeing as I haven't been told of anything, it's safe to say that she isn't there."
"But if she isn't on Earth, where could she be?" Vaggie asked, halting in her steps.
"She has to be somewhere in Hell." Lucifer said, "Lilith has no way to access Heaven or Earth and those are the only two other places she could be."
"What about Limbo? Does she have access to that place?" Vaggie asked as they continued walking.
"I don't know." Lucifer said, shaking his head. 'She would need the power of both an angel and demon to open it, and I doubt she can... but I can't be certain."
"Then that's another place we're gonna have to cover." Vaggie said as they reached the library. "Now let's find a spell book that can help us."
"There's one in the castle library, hidden away." Lucifer said.
Lucifer takes the lead inside and shows Vaggie to the older section of the library, where the most powerful and ancient books in Hell are stored.
Like the books the Ars Goetia are so proud of.
"Only the ruler of Hell is capable of opening these doors." Lucifer said, getting to the massive sealed doors, "With you being queen, you should be able to open them."
"Okay, so what do I do?" Vaggie asked as they stopped before the doors.
"Place your hand on the door and channel your magic into it." Lucifer said, holding up his hand and making it glow with his magic.
"Okay." Vaggie said, holding her (real) arm up.
(Reminder: Near the end of the last book, Vaggie lost her right arm and replace it with a heavenly made prosthetic.)
She focused her magic into her left hand and slowly placed it in the door, sending a pulse of energy through the massive doors.
The doors gave off a glow of their own with a guttural hum, accepting Vaggie's magic as they began to open.
"Come on... we need to hurry." Lucifer said.
"Lead the way." Vaggie said, gazing around at the all new section of the library.
All while Lucifer moved as fast as he could, not wanting to waste a second of time.
Vaggie tried to keep up but was reduced to being a book holder for any book Lucifer thought could hold the answer to finding Charlie.
"No that's not it." Lucifer said, throwing it away as Vaggie set a stack of 20 books on a table before taking a breath.
"These… are really heavy." Vaggie said, huffing.
"They're full of knowledge!" Lucifer said, continuing his search for knowledge. "Here, try this book on the beginning of Limbo!"
He threw ot to Vaggie and she caught it, and like the other books, itcwas very heavy and made her nearly fall over!
'Damn, I need to exercise more!' Vaggie thought as she lifted the book and placed it in the table, somehow feeling her fake arm going numb. 'What good is a prosthetic arm if it can get tired!?'
The best/worst thing about magic and a prosthetic limb, it magically connects the nerves to the limb so it makes it seem like it's a natural limb.
Moving past that, Vaggie sat down at the table and opened the book on Limbo.
'It was created as an agreement between heaven and hell, I think everyone knows that.' Vaggie thought as she looked at the book, 'Only the combined power of a high ranking angel and high ranking demon can open the portal to it.'
In the book was an image of Lucifer and his brother, Gabriel, working together to create Limbo.
'I doubt Lilith would even think of going there, that place is basically a prison for Heaven and Hell.' Vaggie thought as she rubbed her chin. 'Or maybe it's the perfect place for a misdirection? Throw us off from the most obvious place we wouldn't look?'
Vaggie racked her brain, trying to think of what that psychopath is doing... obviously that was hard to do.
"Ugh, where is Niffty when you need her?!" Vaggie said as she facepalmed.
That's when she got a call from Emily.
"Hello?" Vaggie asked as she answered her phone.
"Uh, Vaggie, this is a weird question... but do you know where Alastor is? I just got back from the archives and Niffty has been freaking out, saying that he's been since last night." Emily said, gazing at a nervous Niffty on her end.
"He hasn't? That's weird and no, I haven't heard from him lately." Vaggie said, shaking her head.
"Huh, that's not like him to at least tease about going somewhere to peak a person's interest." Emily said, glancing back at Niffty. "Well, I'm going to go check around for him... before Niffty kills someone in the hotel... again."
"Make sure she doesn't break anything either." Vaggie said before the call ended, sighing. "If it's not one thing it's another."
'But that just makes it more confusing. Alastor is still the co-owner of the Hazbin Hotel and basically Emily's work husband/best friend, why would he just up and disappear without telling her or Niffty?' Vaggie thought as she put her phone away.
Vaggie pushed that aside for now. As much as she wanted to help Emily, she needed to find Charlie first.
Emily would be fine looking for Alastor on her own. What's the worse that could happen if Vaggie doesn't help find the radio demon?
