"I won’t warn you again," Benji growls. "Leave the girl be and return to your summoner with me."

"Of course." The attendant says, trying hard to keep his eyes off you. "Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you." He says, handing you a keycard.
"I can't believe that worked!" Henry says when you rejoin him. "You are amazing!"
The corridor is empty when you get to 'Sin's room. You slip the keycard in and there is a discrete beep, then the door opens.
"What are you doing in here!?" 'Sin exclaims, jumping up from bed. Kat is beside him, trying to cover up, but it looks like she has a black eye, and she looks cowed.
"You can't be in here! I'm calling security!" 'Sin blusters, but Henry steps between him and the phone, glowering own at him. Maybe people forgot, but Henry is a 'fine specimen of a man', quite a bit taller and broader than 'Sin, and the man falls back onto the covers. It does not help his case that he is wearing only his boxer-shorts.

The 'restraint' demon shrugs, it has its orders, it squares off against you, unarmed, but not surprised this time. It is ready to fight. The 'seeker' demon still has not decided what its function is, but it looks like it will take any opportunity to pursue its task of 'looking for the sacrifice' while the 'restrain' demon keeps you occupied.

Emma stood in the doorway, blowing steam through her nostrils. She didn’t flinch at the sight of Kat’s black eye, though it would only have served to infuriate her more, nor did she give Sinclair the satisfaction of reacting to his pathetic attempt at bravado.
"Stand down" she said coldly, her voice low and coiled. "You have no idea what you’re dealing with."
She was supposed to be dead. Their little plan didn’t work, and now she was there, in his doorway. She counted on it being enough to give him pause, to at least consider that he might have to tread carefully around her, or else:
"if you don’t start talking, something is going to come collect its due. From you, personally, not your little club. Maybe me. Maybe something far worse."
She took a few deliberate steps into the room, not breaking eye contact.
"Give me what I want, and I’ll forget this entire thing ever happened"

"Who are you?" 'Sin exclaims in awe, then starts to scrabble for forgiveness. "I'm so sorry. We thought you were nobody," at this mention of 'a nobody' his eyes dart to Kat, "that they would blame the vampire, or the jealous ex-boyfriend." You might —if you were feeling charitable— realise that, had Charlotte and her team played a bit harder, it would have been Kat going down into that hole, and her pimp or her john ('Sin, himself) who 'they' would be looking at regarding the disappearance.
"We had no idea..." '...that you mattered', he means to say, but doesn't. "How can I ever make it up to you?"

Emma begins to relax when he kowtows to her, his servility soothing her anger
"For starters; you’re going to tell your friends not to fuck with me again. I want to enjoy the rest of my stay at the Lanesborough in peace, without any more of your pathetic little games. And yes, 'everyone' includes Chaudry."
She intentionally dropped the sorcerer's name, just another indication she knows more than they suspected.
"Though perhaps that one won’t be necessary. Depending on what shape he’s in. If he’s even in one."
She let the implication hang in the air, just to plant even more fear in his heart.
"But what I really want" she continued, her eyes now on Kat "is her. See, I have a thing for blondes too. And I have… uses for her."

"Of course. Of course. We will." 'Sin agrees, flinching slightly at the mention of Chaudry, but not looking too concerned for his well-being.
"Kat? Yes, of course, take her." He motions for kat to get out of the bed quickly. Henry tsks and quickly gives her his jacket to cover her nakedness.
Taking it, Kat stands, confused, not sure what to do or what is going on.

"You're working for me now, Kat" she said it with unmistakable authority, mostly for Sinclair’s benefit, but underneath, something dark stirred within her. After all, she did just save Kat from being abused, didn't she? Doesn't that mean that Kat owes her?
"We're good now" she turned back to Sinclair "Maybe next time, we’ll have a more… enjoyable partnership. I would rather cooperate - than eliminate"
She gave a silent nod to Henry, motioning to him, and Kat, to move toward the door, staying just long enough to give Sinclair the opportunity to say something, if he was still inclined to.

'Sin nods in agreement. He does not point out that Kat does no work for him, that he has no say over your claim that she works for you now. Her pimp may have opinions on that, but 'Sin would rather not be involved in that discussion.
Kat has not understood most of what happened, but she doesn't argue, ready to come with you, but hoping to be allowed to get her things first.

Emma waited for Kat to gather her belongings, but her body language made it clear that she should hurry about it; tapping her foot, and constantly looking toward the door.
A surge of adrenaline passed through her body once they finally stepped into the corridor. She had actually pulled it off!!! She walked into Sinclair’s room, took his girl, and left him rattled enough to grovel. She would have laughed, but with Kat bruised and shaken beside her, it didn’t feel like the moment.
Her tone shifted once they were back in their room, much softer, as she looked at the young woman with real concern:
"Are you alright? What did that bastard do to you?"
