Aphrodite (RDJ / Scar Jo)

Downhill

Third Person’s POV

“You have to guarantee me…” the doctor started, yet again

“Doctor, I have told you she will be just fine in our hands. She will have a doctor with her, daily.”

The doctor looked at Robert, not fully convinced.

Oh, but Robert didn’t want to lose more time with it, so, he simply walked into Claire’s room, where some people from his team were already waiting for his orders.

“Let’s move” Robert spoke “Everything ready outside?”

“Yes”

Robert approached Claire “Are you ok?”

She showed him a smile “I couldn’t be better”

“Don’t be scared with all these procedures, everything will be fine”

She smiled at him, nodding “Thank you again…”

*At Aphrodite*

 “It was him! I just know it!!” Fritz yelled

“And what do you suggest us to do?!” Roy snapped back “We have no damn proof! Plus, the other b*tch isn’t signed in any hospital or isn’t anywhere to be seen around the island!”

“We should have killed him when we had the chance…” Fritz whispered

“Oh, and that would finish all of our problems, wouldn’t it, Fritz?” Renner suddenly caught both men talking

“Renner.” Roy spoke

“Why are you not looking for her?!” She snapped

“I have sent men…”

“YOU, idiots!” Renner yelled “go search for her, NOW!”

“What about…”

“Let ME deal with that” she snapped

Both men looked down and left the room with no further words.

*Somewhere around Paradise Island*

“Are you comfortable?” Robert asked, as Claire laid on his bed

“I am, Robert…” she smiled “But… uh… where will you sleep then?”

“Do not worry about that, now”

“But…”

“Tom went to get some food for all of us.” Robert smiled, sitting next to her

“He’s sweet”

“Yeah” Robert looked at her “The doctor is heading here, he’ll soon arrive. Are you feeling good?”

“I am, no pain, at all” Claire smiled

“Good” Robert looked at her “Look, uh… Claire…” He took a deep breath as she curiously looked at him “Belle mentioned you once were… well, differently treated, in that place. You had… other room and… other privileges”

Claire looked down “Yes…”

“So, uh… you know other areas of that place, apart from what the other ladies know”

“Yes, I do”

Robert looked at her, adrenaline rushing through his body “Can you tell me… everything you know about that place?”

“Will you take Belle and Zoe out of there?” Claire asked him

“If I can… I will take all the ladies out of there”
