Crown of glass

Chapter One: The Email

       "Hey look at this." Uncle Austin told me as he looked on the laptop and read out loud.
"Help wanted." He read.  "What? Really where at?!" I jumped up off of the couch and ran over to him and sat beside him looking. 
I scrolled down clicking the description and continued to read out loud.
" help wanted if interested please email me (preferably a woman)
@timothybaylor@gmail.com
Will give more description there.
Thankyou."

"OMG. I have to message him." I said looking at Uncle Austin smiling. " I don't know it seems kind of sketchy don't you think. It doesn't say what the job is or where it's at it just says "help wanted" He could be a sex trafficker for all we know.  That gettin super bad now days." He said raising brows.
I looked at him and look back at the computer.
"It's just a message it don't hurt to ask. I'm sure he understand that it looks sketchy and will explain more about it through email like he said. I mean if it sound weird and off wack then I won't go but if it sound ok I'll take it if I get it." I said smiling looking at him. He looked back at me and then back at the laptop and just shook his head. " okay. BUT. if he talks weird. It's a no go deal?" He said sticking out his hand. " deal." I smiled shaking it.

I sat down in front of the laptop and opened macros off word and started typing.

     Dear Mr. Baylor,

     I had saw where you are needing help. I am very interested in this opportunity and would gladly like to talk it over and discuss what you are needing help with.

                                                    Sincerely,
                                                        Tate Robertson.

"Anddd send. Do you think it's to short?" I ask looking at my email while tapping my fingers.
"Nahhh you said what you had to say and that was it. If he really needs help he'll message you back so don't stress over it. You know as much as I do if i-."
"Yeah yeah Ik. If it's meant to be it will be." I said cutting him off.
"Wise words of your mother. And as far as I know she was always right too." He said smiling at me.
"You ain't lying. She always told me and dad that." I said smiling looking down at my chipped nail polish on my finger nails.
"I miss her too tot" he told me putting his hand on my shoulder bringing me in for a hug.
"Do you think she would approve over me trying to get a job from a total stranger?" I asked looking up at him.
"Mmmm I don't think she would say no" he said laughing a little.
I shook my head at him.

*DING*

I jerked my head and looked at the laptop.

- unread email from:
@timothybaylor@gmail.com

I looked back at Uncle Austin and smiled.
"That was fast." Leaning on the computer desk looking at the laptop.

I scrolled up with the mouse and clicked open.

       Dear Miss Robertson,

       Yes, I am in need of help extremely. My wife  just passed away recently in the year, we have a 7 year old little girl who is need of a full time caretaker in her life. I unfortunately cannot take care of her because I have to work to support her and she has sibling but they have collage and jobs as well to attend to. If you are still interested please let me know ASAP.
If so I will be able to pay for your travels if needed.

                                        Much thanks,
                                        Timothy Baylor
