Do or Die, a Huskerdust Story

Thirty Six

Husk was serving Claire, Vaggie and Alastor drinks now. Tho Alastor would take his champagne and sit on the other side of the lobby. Then come back for more and walk away again.

Leith eventually got downstairs and it was just Vaggy now. Heade his way out to the parking lot and saton the curb by Cherribomb's car. He lit a joint and taking a few puffs.

He put it out once he noticed Cherribomb approaching. She unloaded the car and the both got in.
Cherribomb sped off.

Charlie and her parents were sat at the table in the dining room eating a lovely lamb dinner.

"How are things at the hotel?" Lilith asked as she cut up apart the meat on her plate and took a bite.

"Things are okay, one of the sinners is having  a tough time though, and I'm unsure how to help." Charlie answered honestly.

"Is there anything we can do?" Lucifer wondered. After he finished chewing.

Charlie shrugged.

"I don't know." She admitted.

They all finished eating dinner before discussing the topic further.

There was only one reason Angeldust didn't want Husk there today. It was the exact same reason he didn't want Husk there when Cherribomb came unannounced. He didn't want any of his friends near Valentino.

Except that wasn't the whole truth.

Angel was dancing tonight, but he was also on the market for the night, and he didn't want Husk around to see him going to bed with other people. He didn't really how much more he'd hate this aspect of his job. He could deal with it befor, dispite how much it did suck. The names didn't matter then either, because he knew they weren't true. But now, he feels the weight, of the words every sinner in hell uses to describe him. He felt disgusting.

Cherribomb and Leith got there a little to late to see him dance. He stood next to Val and some other person, before he walking away with the client.

They walked into the club, Leith was in his full form just to intimidate the bouncer, as he snuck Cherribomb in behind him. Then he went back to his usual appearance.

Cherribomb and Leith found seats, and opened the bottles of alcohol Cherribomb remembered to stop for.

One of Angel's coworkers were dancing but after thirty minutes Angeldust was back on stage. His gaze never met Valentino as he dance. He refused to look at him.

He scanned the club for Cherribomb, and immediately spotted her and the Leith. He was surprised she listened for once but, why was he upset about it?

'Angel, with the gun in your hand
Pointing my direction, giving me affection
Love is fatal
Won't you give it a chance?
Center of attention
Don't you ask me any questions
Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be something you regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down'

Angeldust danced as the lyrics played.

Cherribomb kept her eyes on Angel's surroundings. She didn't can

'I only light up when cameras are flashing
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changing my face and calling it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name'

Angeldust choked back the tears as he danced like his life depended on it. The next part of the song made him think of Husk, and somehow he felt okay.

'Lay me in the palm of your hand
I'll give you my permission
You'll always be forgiven
Go on, replace me
When you're craving something sweeter than the words I left in your mouth
Go on and spit me out'

He continued dancing. Leith's eyes wandered around the entirety of the club, but cherri's were fixated on the moth. She didn't care about anything but Angel's safety. The minute that fuck moves a centimeter towards her friend he'dake him regret it.

Some dude walked passed them and slipped something in the bottle Cherri had been drinking.

"Yo, the fuck you think ya slick?" Leith asked.

He grabbed the collar of the demon's shirt as he walked away, he turned the guy to fully face him. He waved his other hand in front of his face and as he moved it upward his face contorted into his true form.

The demon cowered in fear. "Yo what the fuck are you?!" Yelled the demon.

Leith's jaw unhinged and he ripped the demon's head off at the neck chewing roughly as his teeth ripped through the skull and everything in between, like it were nothing. Cherribomb looked at him for a split second with a chuckle.

"So that guy is his boss?" He asked Cherribomb as she basically stalked Valentino.

She nodded.

"And this is his club?" He wonders.

She nodded.

He took her tainted drink swirled it around quickly. He extended his arm and tipped the bottle upside down spilled the contents out onto the floor disrespectfully.

He looked at the moth, and thew the bottle across the bar missing on purpose. He grabbyhis bottle grabbed Cherribomb and ran off while; instead of looking for who through it, Valentino stared at where the bottle had broken.

Angeldust saw Leith throw it from the corner of his eye and did his best not to laugh.

Leith and Cherribomb were laughing their asses off though as they ran to a different seat where they were a bit closer to Angeldust if something were to happen.  Leith handed her his drink.

"Sorry some asshole got to ya drink. Take the rest of mine."

"Thanks." She wasn't going to drink it. She wasn't even gonna drink the first one as much as she did want a drink. She had a beautiful plan if things went badly.

The song ended and he had a list of clients now.

Leith raised an eyebrow watching as Angeldust walked off with one.

"Yeeaaaah no." Was all he said. He stood up, and turned to Cherribomb. "Go get the car ready."

She turned and looked up at him, with her eyebrow raised.

"The fuck you thinkin'?" She asked.

"Ya said he didn't want Husk here right?" He asked. The pointed over to Angel as he entered a room. Her eyes went wide and she immortal stood up.

"Gimme 5 minutes." Cherribomb stated. Running out of the club.

She got in her car and drove to the liquor store that was around the corner. and threw a bomb in a spot of the liquor store where, the bottles shouldn't be harmed and let it detonate. She rushed out of the building.

She returned the pile of rubble grabbing case upon case of alcohol and shoving it into her trunk before driving back to the club.
