Plot.
Alastor finds a little kid in the alley and it hits a string

Walking down the streets of hell towards cannibal town. Alastors smile was seen plastered acrossed his face as he took in a deep breath of the scents of hell. The decaying corpses, blood running down the streets like water, flesh burning. It was truly a smell of its own that he quite enjoyed. He followed his usual path on his way to Rosie's to pick up his delivery, it was always the same, The smells. The screams off in the distance and people running and hiding from the infamous radio demon himself. But today, there was something new, Walking past a dark Alley, his ears flickered as he heard sniffle, not a normal hungry sniff looking for food, but a sad one. Now seizing the opportunity to enjoy one's pain and misery Alastor stopped and turned his head before moving down the alley to find the source of the sound. Walking through he wasn't finding the source of it anywhere until he caught sight of s box moving. Making his way over to it he grabbed the box and picked it up to reveal a little girl inside, her clothes were all torn and cut, she was covered in mud and her hair...wasn't even able to tell what color it was, he took note of how She had her arms around herself shaking some and how skinny she was.
"Now now little one. What's the reason for all these waterworks?" He asked as he grabbed her shirt collar and picked her up from the ground. The girl tried to curl in on herself as she looked at Al some.
"I..I was..k..kicked out..by my..family" she stuttered out in a hoarse voice.
"And why did that do that hmmm...did you deserve it?" He asked tilting his head some.
"Mom said she never...wanted to have kids..so she kicked me out after..dad died"
Alastor thought some as he held onto the little girl, probably no more then 3..maybe 4 years old, and it did kinda hit a string with him. His father never wanted kids but his mother did, the abuse he took from his father. Shaking the thoughts from his head he looked at the girl.
"When's the last time you had anything to eat?" He asked her, and judging by the look on her face..he was gonna guess a wile.
"Alright...come along little one" He said as he moved and held her more like a cradle in his arm. Looking down as he saw her snuggle up closer for the warmth and contact of another person, it was clear to him that she had been alone for a while and had a rough go at things. Walking out of the alley and back down the sidewalk, not paying any minds to the few looks he did have, this was cannibal town, as far as people knew he was going to get himself a fresh meal.
Walking into Rosie's store, the little bell dinged as she looked up.
"Oh Alastor what a surprise!" she said happily as she shoed away a customer but She was more then confused when she saw the little girl cradled In his arms.
"Did you bring me a treat Alastor. Fresh from the streets?"
"I did not..I brought her here to get a meal, Found her in the alley"
He said before Rosie thought some.
"Your not going soft on me are you Al?"
"Ill explain later...can you bring some food and drinks out to a table for me my dear?" He asked before seeing Rosie nod at this.
"Thanks" he said before moving over to a table and sitting down. Putting the girl on his lap so she could actually see over the table. Rosie soon walked over with a assortment of food and drinks.
"Go on..grab yourself something" Alastor said as he saw the little girl hesitate and look up at him. Upon hearing that she reached up and grabbed a cup of juice and started to drink from it before reaching up to grab something to eat.
"So..gonna tell me about your little guest or leave me wondering?"
"Well i do love to keep everyone on their toes, you know me dear" he said with a bit of a chuckle before explaining his walk this morning, finding the girl and how it reminded him and has father growing up. Rosie nodded in understanding at this. They watched as the little girl ate a bit of the food before her eyes started to get heavy and she started to nod off in his lap. He couldn't help but to find himself actually smiling a genuine smile as he looked down at her. Rosie caught onto the sight but didn't say anything about it as she watched Alastor get up and thank her before leaving the store. Walking down the sidewalk he found himself standing at the alley again and looking at the girl in his arms. He couldn't leave her out there like that, he made his decision in that moment, He was going to protect her from harm, the way his mother tried for him. Turning and contuing down the sidewalk he walked back to the hotel and inside.
"Hey a...who do you have there?" Charlie asked now as she sat a box of supplies down and walked over to him.
"A girl I found in the alley on my to Rosie's. She was abandoned by her mom after her father passed and it hit a little close to home. So I took her with me and gave her some food and stuff"
"Awww..poor thing" Charlie said as she looked down at the little girl as she opened up her big blue eyes. Blue eyes was a bit uncommon down in hell, normally they was red or black.
"What are you going to do with her Al?" She asked as she looked up from the girl and at him.
"I have decided to keep her and raise her as my own...protect her like no one did for me when I was this age" he said as he looked at Charlie and her now wide eyed face.
"I..have...you talked to dad about this?"
"Talk to me about what?" Lucifer asked now as he walked into the room and smiled at Alastor.
