Crimson: Hello, Asmodeus.

[Asmodeus and Stolas grow concerned at the appearance of Crimson, and not Nikki .]

Crimson: You don't know me, but you don't need to. All you need to know is I have your little jester here with me.

[The video shows Striker bringing Nikki to the camera tied up with tape over her mouth. Asmodeus grows enraged at the sight of this and tries to strangely grab the hologram out of anger.]

Crimson: If you want him back alive, you will give me exactly what I want.

Asmodeus: Do you have any idea who you are FUCKING WITH?!

[Asmodeus' feathers glow a vivid neon version of his natural colors before his head bursts into red flames, showing his outrage.]

Stolas: I... think it's a recording.

Crimson: You probably just asked if I know who I'm dealing with. And, oh yes, I know. The weakest and most non-threatening of the Sins. The king who will do whatever it takes to save the worst-kept secret in all of Hell.

[Asmodeus grows embarrassed and turns his head away from the video, with Stolas becoming worried for him and looking concerned.]

Crimson: We both know you won't risk anything happening to the youre daughter . So be a good little bitch boy, and do the thing. My lawyers will be over shortly with the contract of demands. You have until the witching hour to sign it. Hueheheheheheheh! Now, cut. I SAID CUT IT, YA FUCKIN' MORON!

[The phone falls back on the table. The whole room shakes and Asmodeus ignites in rage. Stolas backs away as Asmodeus roars, making the whole room glow with a beam of fire. The transition shows Alessio giving Crimson a lighter to smoke a cigar. He walks off, while a mafia goon throws nikki in a cage with Blitzo, which Striker is on top of. Nikki stammers in fear, while Blitzo scoots back.]
