' I hope you'll make the shots clean and clear, I want everything to look outstanding, my friend said you're good at what you do, so I need a spectacular job ' Raphael stated giving him a clear and cold look.
' I'll let you judge the pictures when I'm done', he replied with a half smile pulling his backpack close enough to arrange them quickly, ' I'll like someone to show me around the house for a start '
' I'll do that, we'll begin with the kitchens' he said leading him there.
The high ceilings in the kitchen held a feeling of vastness, glass cabinets and black granite countertops gave it a modern flair, a wide table in the middle and a large flower vase stop made it look more beautiful, taking few shots, they moved into another room.
The phone ringing out loudly made Raphael stop in his tracks, fishing out the phone from his pocket, he made to leave but turned around quickly, ' I'll have someone show you the rest of the room and I'll join you later ' he said and walked out, Claire joined the photographer shortly.
Walking towards him, ' I'll show you round the house sir, if you're done here' Claire muttered aloud.
' Alright, I'll follow right behind you '
Claire showed him round the house until Raphael joined them and dismissed her, she quickly made her way to Abby's room. Pushing the door open, she found Abby still in her night clothes staring outside the window. ' I know how you really want to go outside this room ' she said in a whisper
Turning around slowly ' oh! Claire, I wish I could leave this godforsaken place, I wish to be outside, I want to be outside, I don't want to get hurt anymore ' she ended with tears rolling down her eyes.
Looking at her closely and hesitating for a while 'There's a way ' she said and pulled her into a tight hug, releasing her slowly, she told her if her plan.
' Claire are you sure about this, what if we get caught, Raphael would kill you and I don't want that' she muttered sadly.
' Don't worry about me, just get dressed quickly and here, take this with you ' she pulled out a paper neatly wrapped and handed it over to her.
' Claire what is this? '
Putting on a smile ' open it, it's yours '
Unwrapping it slowly, there was some money inside ' oh! Claire, where did you get this from '
' you ask a lot of questions, I saved that up, but I want you to have it, that's enough now, you need to get dressed, he might leave soon, so up you go '
' Thank you Claire, I'll never forget you ' she said pulling her into a hug.
