Alastor's POV 
I walk out of the bathroom, expecting to see Lucifer on the bed with his bandaged hand, but he's not here. I furrow my eyebrows and I look around. The room is empty, meaning I'm unable to find the little devil. I leave the room and continue searching. Checking all the hotel rooms thoroughly, every nook and cranny. I start calling his name out after a while, but he's not showing himself. The more I can't find him, the more I fill up with anxiety and worry. 
"Lucifer, dear, where are you!? This isn't funny! Come out!" I yell. Still no husband. I continue searching all of the upstairs part of the hotel. No sign of him. Maybe he's downstairs with everyone else, too engrossed in conversation to hear me or something. Or getting a quick snack. Maybe he's getting fresh air. But he wouldn't leave without telling me. 
I'm practically running downstairs as I search the rest of the hotel. I can feel everyone else's eyes on me as I search, but I don't care. I have a missing husband, no one right now will take my attention off from finding him. Maybe Andronicus, but for a short moment. 
"Uh...Alastor...what are you doing?" Charlie asks. "Maybe...we can help look for whatever you're searching...?" 
"Where is your father, Charlotte?" I ask. My eyes flashing into radio dials for a second. I quietly take a deep breath, regaining composure. 
"My dad is...missing?" She asks quietly. Andro hugs her leg. I look at him as he pulls her pant leg. 
"Daddy?" My eyes soften slightly at the single word. Andro looks right at me and tilts his head. I take another quiet deep breath and walk over the Andro then pick him up. "Is Daddy okay?" 
"Daddy is fine," I answer softly. Suddenly a bright light shines through the hotel. I squint my eyes, trying not to blind myself until it goes away. I blink a few times before seeing God and...Lute? 
"Holy fuck! Lute?!" Adam yells. Lute does a small wave. Adam immediately runs over to her and grabs her. "You're alive! Thank fucking God." 
"Don't thank me. I didn't do anything," God chuckles. He looks at me. "I'm here to help. We both Roo's next target will be your child. Do I have permission to have Michael watch him until this is over?" 
"Not Michael." 
"Azrael?" 
"That's fine." I hand Andronicus to God, who nods before disappearing into another blinding light. I turn and walk to the doors of this hotel. Now that Andro is safe from Roo's cold and nasty hands, I'm going to end this game now. 
"Where are you going?" Vaggie asks. 
"Getting my husband."

Next thing I know, everybody is coming with me, even Vox and Velvette. I lead our large group of people to where Roo resides. Nobody knows where she lives, which is kind of the point being under the radar, but I do. Obviously. If anyone else knew where she lived, she might be dead. 
I take everyone in my shadows and appear at the door of her place. She lives at the edge of Hell under a black lake, which is kind of outside of Hell. It's weird. 
"Where the fuck are we?" Vox asks. He walks around a bit, his hands on his hips. I push him into the lake. "Hey w-" The black lake swallows him. He'll be fine. 
"What the fuck was that for?" Adam asks. 
"Hmm. No boiling bubble or blood. He's fine. This is where Roo lives," I answer as I continue to look at the lake. I hop in and go through the layer of black water and onto hard ground. Vox sits a few feet from me, rubbing his TV head. I look around the familiar room, black spikes coming out of the walls and chains hanging from the ceiling. I hate this place with every inch of my body. 
"What was that for, asshole?" Vox asks, getting up. "Could have warned me first before shoving me into some random suspicious lake." I shrug my shoulders. Everyone else starts popping in and steps away from the landing zone before someone else can land on them. Niffty of course falling on her face happily.  
I place a finger over my lips, shushing everyone. Vox rolls his eyes, but I don't pay him any attention. He's not worth it. I slowly walk more into Roo's domain. Black goo is dripping everywhere. Everywhere is mostly darkness, a bunch of red eyes in the wall being the only source of light. I turn a corner, which a black spike poking out of it rips my shirt, and see Lucifer in a cage. Only the cage is made out of the black goo and spikes. 
Luci's in full demon form, trying to get out, but the more he struggles, the more the chains around his ankles and wrist tighten. I ran over to him, falling on my knees in front of him. 
"Al? Is that you? Is that really you?" he asks, looking at me. 
"It's really me. I'm here. I'm going to get you out of this place," I whisper. I look around the cage. Darn Roo and her nearly unbreakable cages. "God damnit. Hold on a moment, dear." 
"No no. Alastor. Where's Andro?" 
"He's safe, don't worry. He's in Heaven with Azrael where she can't reach him." Lucifer sighs in relief. His demon horns fade away as he smiles at me. 
"Get Rosie and Mimzy. On the wall behind me. I'll be fine. They don't look too good and hurry baby, she's coming back." I nod. I stand back up and walk to the wall. I find Mimzy and Rosie just how I saw them before on that picture box. I reach up and grab the black spikes digging inside their mouths. My hands go white as angelic power tries to pull it out. My grip ends up destroying it completely and Rosie falls into my arms. I lay her down before getting Mimzy.  
Charlie and Vaggie grab the two and take them away. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my back. I'm immediately shoved into a bunch of hanging chains that wrap around me. Everyone else is constrained to the ground by black goop at their feet. 
"Well well well. Lookie what we have here. The little fawn has brought his friends. How cute. Where's the little one, hm? He would've been fun to play with." I growl. Roo only chuckles. She has no right to talk about my son. 
Vox's electricity zaps Roo, who takes it like it's nothing. Her head snaps towards Vox and the black goo travels up his body, covering everything besides his head. Her eyes lock onto Lute. 
"I thought I killed you. Hm. More for me." The six sins start to attack. She dodges their attacks swiftly hitting them back with her spikes. 
I focus on getting out of these chains. They're tight all right. I struggle through them, the rest of my body turning angelic. My strength increases and I break the chains with ease. 
I look at Lucifer, who gives me a lovingly smile before pointing at the many stalactites above Roo.
