The late afternoon sun glistened through the windows of the house.Her heels clicked against the wooden floor while she approached her room

"Claire!Did you clean your room?"she called out opening the door of the room.She stopped when she saw everything was back in its place,it was all clean

And the kid was smiling at her,sitting on the bed with a Polaroid camera in hand.She clicked a picture of Charlotte taking her by surprise

"Well I'm happy to see everything is clean here"she smiled walking towards her

"Can I see that?"she asked bringing her hand forward.Claire smiled and gave her,her picture.She looked down at it and raised her upper lips

"Hmm....I'm keeping this"she said and took the picture keeping it in her pant pocket.

"Alright uhm listen....your grandad is sending someone here.There has been some uh..problem at work honey and we need some help here.So we have someone from security coming here alright.And I want you to be in your best behaviour even though you already are"she smiled leaning down at her level.

Claire sighed opening her mouth to speak something when her phone rang.

"Sorry"she mumbled and took out her phone.It was Fitz.

"Hello Mr Fitz"Charlotte greeted him on the phone.Claire saw charlotte listening to her grandfather with concentration humming in between

"I'm sorry right now?Like right now?Oh uh sure I'll just-"Charlotte got cut off by someone clearing their throat.

They both turned there heads around to see him standing at the door of the room.Charlotte saw a tall man,with a lean and stiff figure,in a gray suit.Hands formally in front of him while he stared into her eyes

His blue orbs examining her up and down but making sure it wasn't obvious.She was caught deep in her thoughts before Claire spoke

"You're the new security dude?"she asked.The man raised his eyebrows at looked at the kid.He cleared his throat

"Yes.The names Six"he said.The man's way of speaking was like a typical agent.

"Six?Thats it?"Claire asked

"Yes.Problem?"he asked raising his eyebrow and she shook her head.She walked towards him bringing her hand forward

"Im Charlotte Stone.Mr Fitz hired me to make sure her needs are fulfilled.He asked me to hand you a list of orders of safety around the house"she walked out of the room.

He walked behind her boring his stare into her back as she took out a file from her bag

"Here"she handed it to him.She prayed in hope that there hands wouldn't touch but it happened accidentally and it sent a jolt of electricity to her spine

He noticed the sudden change in her demeanour.But he decided to brush it off

"I'll get started"he said simply and walked past her.Charlotte took a deep breath in and exhaled

"All good?"Claire asked leaning against her door frame.Charlotte looked up at her and nodded

"I'm getting back to work"she said and walked away from there while Claire furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and walked back in her room

For the whole day,she saw only a glimpse of him.While she was walking on the porch talking to Fitz informing him that he was here and was working on check ups around the house,she saw him walk past the living rooms

"He's one of my best.I'm sure he'll keep you safe Charlotte"

"It's not my safety I'm worried about.....it's hers"she said looking back at him.The sun was about to set
