The following morning, Alice was awoken by her alarm going off. She groggily groaned, slamming her hand over the bell, but instead it fell on the floor. She growls as she notices that she has four missed calls from Hermione. She picked up her phone. She quickly got dressed and was almost out the door when her phone buzzed.

"Hi, Hermione, I know I'm late. Really that late? Yes, I filled out the paperwork for the Nanny agency, it's right here. No kidding, I'm late you should've said that before." She hung up the phone just as the door bell rang.

She walked up to the door in her tight blue dress and pulled the handle, opening the door and groaning. "Oh, dear, God." When she saw it was FP standing her doorway.

"Relax, it's a happy visit today. May I?"

"No." FP ignored her statement and walked right into her house.

She closed the door slowly, filling with annoyance of the man being in her house bothering her when she was already late for work.

"So, I found the city budget online last night and I went through it... here's the thought the cash in the general fund. That's just sitting there hire me and I'll double your rate of return that way you'll have enough money for smaller class sizes and extra garbage pickups and pie for everyone."

"That sounds like a great plan and I'd sign up immediately if you weren't a complete lunatic." Alice stated as she waved her coffee tumbler in her hand.

FP scoffed." FP Jones is not a lunatic."

Alice's face contorted with confusion," FP Jones? You're FP Jones?" She started walk closer to him." You ran Hal's commodities division, you made him million."

"Legitimate millions." FP added to clarify that it was legal. "Yeah." Your bastard brother-in-law pissed away." He stated angrily." Sorry, it's a happy visit." He added again with a facade smile.

Alice wasn't fooled." Yeah, you went all Bolivia there for a minute."

"Yeah... so, what do you think? You think you could get me a job downtown?"

"There's a hiring freeze." She said turning away towards the door. "I'm really sorry you lose your job." She said in a hurry.

Hermione was going to livid with her. FP chuckled." Yeah, that's old news." He went on," Yesterday, I lost my condo."

"I really need—" She was cut off by him.

"Now there about to repossess my car. Oh, well but here, here is my morning big headline. The adorable Mrs. Jones has decamped to her mother's house." He said just as he was about to sit down." Oh, God, I miss that car."He sighs out loud with a sad smile marking his face.

She starts walking up to him," How do I put this nicely? Uh, I've got my own problems."

"You're not going to help me?"

"Do you live in my district?"

"Now, that I'm living in my car with yeah. My kids and I..." He added a sad smile.

Alice did really want to help but she didn't have time for this. She had to go to work before she lost her job as Council woman Smith.

"Look, I've got meetings, a trash revolt, the kid on the break and I'm in desperate need of professional help...." She paused, feeling his eyes on her."... for the household, not me." She started to just be clear on the fact it wasn't her.

"You're not going to help anybody this salary sucks." He knew what is going with. He hoped to change her mind. He had two kids to feed and take care as he looked for a place to live.
