In the early morning of a beautiful Friday Josie walked into the office building that was Mikaelson industries. All week she had been thinking about the situation that occurred. What with Hope getting shot at in her own home and Josie getting drugged twice she found she was more agitated than ever. The knot that coiled at the pit of her stomach seemed to grow larger as she dwelled on the two people that were making her life hell.

As she walked into the building she notice a little girl holding hands with her mother. She seemed to be digging into her purse probably trying to find the key card to open the small gates to enter further into the building. The little girl was swinging her small feet to the side to find some form of entertainment.

"Mommy can we go inside already" the little girl whined but didn't shout nor throw any tantrum.

"In a minute sweetie. I just have to find my ID and we can enter" the mom said as she let go of the little girls hand to dig further into her bag. Josie knew the sound of the woman's voice. It was Diana from the bio teach department. Josie walked up to the two smiling.

"Good morning Diana" Josie waved. "And good morning to you cutie" Josie reached down towards the little girl caressing her chin a little before bring her attention back to her friend. She noticed the little girl wearing a yellow and orange scarf around her neck.

"Morning Josie. This is my daughter, Rylie"

"Nice to meet you Rylie" Josie extending her hand and the girl politely shook it. Josie smiled at how cute she was.

"Can you help me out. I think I lost my ID. I-I hope it's okay I brought her. She's in spring break and my sitter canceled last minute." Diana held onto her daughters shoulder.

"I'm sure Hope won't mind. But you do work in a lap... Ah how about I look after her for the day." Josie looked down at the little girl who was nervously twirling with her thumbing

"Y-you'd do that. N-no I can't ask you" Diana tried to protest.

"Diana it's okay. You work in an area that dangerous and restricted. Besides I'm sure it would better then having to look over your shoulder" Josie tried to reassure her friend that she wouldn't mind looking after her. Diana smile and nodded.

"C-can you let me in now" Diana pointed to the security gates. Josie laughed and took the little girls hand. She took her towards the door where the security guard was sitting next to.

"Hey wanna open the doors for mommy" Josie asked the little girl who nodded happily. "All you have to say is Alohamora" Josie looked at the security guard and winked. He smiled and nodded his head.

"Alohamora" the little girl shouted as she pointed towards the doors. When she did all of them opened at the same time. Rylies eyes widen and she jumped screeching in excitement. "I'm a wizard" she whispered to herself as she looked at her hands. Josie couldn't help but laugh.

The group entered further into the building. They walked towards the bio tech department lab together, the little girl looking all around curiously. "Now remember Rylie behave yourself. This is mommy's work so please don't cause trouble for Josie. She's really nice." Diana bend down to hug her daughter tightly. Josie couldn't help but smile at how cute they were. Diana kissing her daughter on her cheek before waving her off and walking into the lab.

The little girl turned towards Josie nervously. Josie was a little taken back when she realized she had no idea what she just gotten herself into. She didn't even think about taking care of the child she just blurted it out. Josie was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the little girls cold hands on hers. She looked down and smiled.
