>Charlie breathed a sigh of relief as the exited onto the Hotel's back patio
>She had spent most of the day looking over the Hotel's finances with Vaggie and a couple of the Anons
>Tax time sucked, even in Hell
>Now she finally had some time to herself
>She decided to spend it sitting on the patio, with a calming cup of tea and a book she had been wanting to read for awhile
>As she sat down however, Charlie got the feeling that she was being watched.
>She looked around her; there was nobody else on the patio.
>No one was looking at her through the patio doors
>With her immediate vicinity clear, she looked out onto the land surrounding the Hotel
>Finally she spotted something next to a large tree
> It was a man
-
>He was a tall, thin man, with pale skin and dark crew cut hair
>He wore a grey-blue suit and was carrying a suitcase
>He simply stood there, looking at her
>A chill went down Charlie's spine as the man continued to stand still
>Just as she was about to call out, he turn and walked behind the tree next to him
>A green flash quickly pulsed from behind, and then silence
>Charlie wasn't sure if what she had seen was real
>As she tried to process it in her head, a seemingly forgotten memory came to the forefront
>As a child, she had been playing outside her family home with Razzle and Dazzle when she heard muffled shouting from a window
>She had carefully peaked in and saw her mother and father talking with a suited man
>Her father was shouting to the man about something, though the thick windows muffled what was being said
>The mysterious man seemed to refuse to budge on whatever it was they were talking about
>After a few minutes of this, the suited man walked off into a door and vanished from view
>Lucifer slumped down in a nearby chair, Lilith sitting down next to him.
>Both wore looks of dread and concern on their faces
>As the memory ended, Charlie's mind was filled with questions
>Who was that man?
>Why was he talking to her parents so long ago?
>Why did their conversation make her parents upset?
>And why hadn't he seeming aged?
>Charlie decided to head back inside, having lost the motivation to stay ouside
>One final thought entered her head, something she couldn't recall ever thinking herself
>It was like someone had told it to her
>"Prepare for unforeseen consequences."
