Alastors pov

I stood in front of a black iron gate. A security guard checked me over before letting me in. Fresh green grass, rose bushes and apple trees lined the white bricked streets to their white mansion. This kind of luxury is something I'm not used to seeing up close.

Once I reached the door I politely knocked three times. A shorter man in a white suit and soft blonde hair answered the door.

"Uhh can I help you?" He asked.

"Names alastor pleasure to meet you my good man" I shook his hand, repressing the urge to wipe my hand. I despise the wealthy "I'm here for the babysitter job you've advised. May I come inside"

"Oh this is awkward but I was actually hoping for a female babysitter. You never know the kind of freaks you get" he laughed awkwardly "Thanks for coming anyway bye-" he tried to close the door but I stopped him.

"I understand the concern but I assure you I have nothing but respect for women. I was raised by a single mother after all"

"And I believe you truly but I'd rather not take the risk-"

"Daddy help!" Our scuffle with the door was cut short by a little girls cry for help. We rushed out back to find a small girl with shoulder length blonde hair stuck up a high tree.

"Charlie!" His face twisted in panic "hold on baby I'm coming-" I stopped him with my cane before stepping forward.

"Charlie dear my name is alastor and I'm here to help you. Can you remember how you got up there?"

"Yeah" she nodded shakily.

"Good, now just re-trace your steps just like you're going downstairs backwards"

"Like this?" She stepped down one branch at a time.

"Wonderful darling. Now keep going just like that. Don't look down" I kept talking reassuringly to her until she reached the soft grassy floor.

"You're my hero mister!" She jumped into my arms.

Lucifer placed a hand on my shoulder "when can you start?"

"I can start first thing in the morning" I smiled at him. Well that seemed to work out!
