Getting a job in this city was hard enough for regular working people, and even more qualified people who have had experience. So for Erin, finding a job would have been near impossible for him. Luckily, he had a friend working at one of the most popular night clubs in the downtown area. He had an interview, and got a job as a waiter for at least 25 bucks an hour plus whatever tip he got.
It was the best he had and he wasn't about to complain. So Erin just breathed out and straightened his tie before taking up the tray and wandering around through the club. He had been working here for at least a few months now, but he always got a strange vibe from the owner. Something . . .heavy around him. But Erin could never place it. He shook his head and smiled at his guest before passing out the drinks, "Here you go. Sorry about the wait."

Lucifer had hired the boy for three reasons, a favor for one of his other servers, he desperately needed a new waiter and the boy interested him. Watching him these past months had been fun. Erin was a hard working kid and he enjoyed teasing him a bit with quick words and lustful glances that would vanish when he got a second glance.
Today was busy and he was making drinks left and right. Being the owner was boring so he also bartended behind the bar. It usually got him access to watch his waiters, dancers and customers to make sure everything was running smoothly. For this moment exactly, a man walked up to Erin and pulled him closer by the hips, "Hey there sexy man. Wanna dance with me when your shift is over?" He purred and Lucifer arched a brow and just watched. He had told his waiters that if they needed help they should throw up a peace sign in the air and he would come to help.

Erin gasped and looked up at the man before letting out a heavy sigh. He knew the signal if he needed help, but wanted to hold off so the man wouldn't be thrown out or embarrassed in front of his friends. He had seen Lucifer do that to several other customers who had tried hitting on the dancers before, "Sorry, Can't. Got things to take care of after work, but why don't you dance with those nice group of girls over there, hm?" He suggested and tried to worm his way from the man's grip.
Erin could smell the reeking stench of alcohol on his breath, and turned his head before a second man came up to catch Erin's wrist, "Aw, come on! What could be so important? Come on, dance with us after your shift and have a little fun~ What's the big deal?" He grinned but Erin glared angrily and pulled his arm back, "I said no, guys. Now come on, I have work to do."

The first man nodded his head at the last guy at their table. He walked over and completely covered Erin from Lucifers view. "Don't be so rude to us. We are just trying to show you a good time little bird." Said the first one. Lucifer glared and didn't like how it was going. They were slowly moving so that they were basically herding Erin towards the bathrooms. Excusing himself Lucifer jumped over the bar and walked over to the men.
Towering over even the tallest one he glared, "Excuse me but it seems you have one of my waiters trapped between you all. I would appreciate if you were to let him do his job." he said arching a brow and trying to get a look at Erin. All he could see was the top of the boys head and the first two men were glaring back at him, "We were just talking to him." One said and Lucifer glared more, "Should I throw you out instead?"

Erin had noticed the movement too, but with the way they had surrounded him, all the man could do was slowly step backwards and look around for someone to help. He looked up towards Lucifer when he heard his voice, but flinched when one man hugged Erin's waist to keep him close, "We're paying customers and neither he or you are being very hospitable, man. We just want to talk to him and have a few drinks! If you throw us out, we'll sue your a**!"
"Oh, with what? You've been running on a tab the whole night." Erin growled and shoved at the guy trying to hang onto him, "As far as I can tell, you three are probably going to drink then dash. Or in your case, wobble your way out of here. Now let go of me." Erin grunted and shoved at the man's chest.

Lucifers eye twitched again hearing the word tab. "A tab eh?" He said and reached in between the men and pulled Erin out with ease. The men growled and tried to grab him back but Lucifer already had Erin behind his back. When one man made a grab he took the mans wrist and twisted it so he went to his knees yelping in pain. "Why don't you boys pay your tab before I bring in the cops for assault?" He said.
"Assault?! What the hell are you talking about?" One man yelled. Lucifer took the wrist he was still holding and made the man cut him on his neck and arched his brow with a wicked grin, "Assault on the owner of this bar." He said. The men looked at him scared and gave him cash before running out. Lucifer turned towards Erin then, "My office. Now." He said and started to walk to his office.

Erin stared at Lucifer in disbelief, both from the stunt he pulled and from being called to his office. Why was he getting in trouble?! He was just trying to do his job! Erin groaned and held his face before finally walking after Lucifer with the empty tray in his hand. When he walked in, Erin set the tray aside first before shutting the door behind him.
"Look, Mr.Lucifer, I didn't start that whole. . .thing with those men. I was trying to pull myself away to work when they surrounded me. A-And for the tab part,I was keeping an eye on it and going to call the cops if they had tried walking out of here." Erin began to explain himself before rubbing the back of his neck. All he could do was hope and pray that he wasn't going to get fired from his job.

Lucifer just sighed at the boy. "I'm not going to fire you so get that out of your mind right now. I'm just going to give you a little speech I give all the young waiters here." He said and leaned against his desk folding his arms, "Boys like you get a lot of attention. And its not always the good kind. I don't care how much pride you have, if a man is three times large than you signal for help."
"Its not like we are going make fun of you here. Everyone dose it. If I hadn't have been watching those men would have had you in the bathroom right now doing..." He stopped and held the bridge of his nose. "Never mind... just... be more careful and the tab business. Take their card and hold it if they are on a tab. It keeps them from skipping out." He said then waved his hand, "Go ahead and get back to work."

Erin blushed at the possibility of what might have happened, glancing away in a bit of shame before he let out a small sigh and nodded, "yes Mr.Lucifer." He just said and walked out with the tray close to his side. He stopped just outside the door, and glanced back wondering how his boss knew that being fired was his worry, but he shook it off when a couple called him over to order drinks.
He did his best to keep that question out of his head the entire night, and put on the best smile he had for every customer until his shift was up. By then, there were only a few stragglers and few parties still going on in the back, "Ok. Hank, I'm heading home. I'll see you tomorrow." He called to his friend cleaning tables at the far corner of the bar before heading out the door. Erin shivered feeling the cold air and pulled his jacket on over his uniform, "guess it really is going to snow tonight. Go figure." He chuckled and shoved his hands into his pockets as he started walking down the street.

The men had waited outside for Erin to be alone. Seeing him walk down the street two of them grabbed Erin's arms pulling him into the alleyway next to the bar. "There you are little bird. We were getting cold. How could you leave us waiting like this." One man said as his friends held Erin's arms tightly. The one man got closer to Erin moving his hands to the boys waist and going up into his shirt.
There was a faint noise that sounded like a growl and a shadow passed over the lights. It looked like wings only for a flash of a second before Lucifer was behind the man touching Erin, "I thought I told you all to leave?" He said grabbing the mans head and tossing him aside. Lucifer kicked the second man away and made a move at the third and he let go of Erin. Lucifer looked at the boy and moved his head, "Lets go. I'll walk you home." He said huffing at the men.

Erin had panicked when he was grabbed, and flinched when he saw the shadow of wings, but he did have to be grateful that his boss showed up when he did. Erin held his clothes tightly in his grip and hurried to push past the men and back onto the sidewalk. Didn't matter that his arms ached or that his nicely tucked shirt was all disheveled, he just wanted to get out of the alleyway.
Erin glanced around at the sky for a moment to try and catch whatever had flown ahead before swallowed a bit of his fear, ". . .T-Thank you, Mr.Lucifer. They just c-came out of no where. . .guess they where j-just waiting for me to get done with my s-shift." He stammered before shaking his head again. He could still feel those grimy fingers on his skin.

Lucifer pulled out a cigarette as they walked and lit it up. Blowing out some smoke he looked at the sky, "I kind of expected them to do it. I didn't want to panic you and I thought I would be out here before they could grab you." He said, "For that I'm sorry." He said and with his free hand he rubbed the boys hair messing it up. If he could get his mind off the men then the boy should be ok.
"What you keep looking at the sky for? There a star you look towards." He asked bending down a bit as they walked to look up at Erin's level. "I don't see nothing up there." He said teasing him.

Erin blushed brightly when Lucifer moved to his level, but he shook his head and reached up to try and fix his messed up hair, "I-It's nothing. I just. . .for a moment when they grabbed me, I saw wings. But I think I just saw a crow pass by or something." He said and shrugged before swatting at the air between him and his boss, as if trying to shoo him away. But when they had arrived at Erin's apartment building, he turned and bowed his head before pulling out his keys.
"Thanks, Mr.Lucifer, for walking me home. I think tomorrow I'll call Hank to pick me up just in case those bastards keep coming back to the club." He nodded and brushed some hair back before heading up the stairs, "Have a good night." He called back and tried to hurry up to his apartment.

Lucifer arched his brow at the wings comment and let the boy brush it off. When they got to his house he waved at him, "Don't worry. They won't be coming back." he said and blew out some smoke before making sure no one was around. He then spread his wings and flew after the men who had attacked Erin. Landing he flicked the cigarette down. "I gave you a warning to leave my waiters be and you attacked him outside. Your going to pay for that." He said walking towards the scared men.
The next morning in the newspaper a story was printed how three men were found in the snow having gone insane. They had been found crying and whispering the devils name and were taken to an asylum to be treated. Lucifer was sitting in the club smoking and going over the books in his office not interested in the news.
