Playoff Implications: Toronto FC Host Struggling New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have been a confusing team this season, the young side had huge expectations at the start of the season after Head of Sport Jochen Schneider made his declaration at the end of last years horrible playoff performance.

After her marriage with Frank Randall has failed and Claire Beauchamp flees from her violent husband, she finds refuge in the house of the Fraser/Murray family in Berlin-Wilhelmshorst. But then tensions arise between Britain (which has since left the EU) and some EU member states. All holders of an English passport are required to leave EU territory within six weeks … and suddenly Claire’s fate looks more uncertain than ever.

This story was written for the #14DaysofOutlander event, hosted by @scotsmanandsassenach​

Chapter 4: 14 Seconds (2)

                                                             When Jamie's car stopped just before the entrance of the gallery, it had already begun to rain in torrents. The sky had darkened to black and every now and then a loud thunder could be heard. The limousine driver parked near the entrance and then quickly jumped out of the car with a large black umbrella bearing the logo and name of the hotel in gold letters. He opened the door on the rear passenger side and held the umbrella so that Jamie could get out without getting wet. The chauffeur accompanied him the few steps to the gallery, then quickly hurried back to the car where he would wait for the guest to return.                As soon as he had entered, Jamie was greeted by a friendly member of the gallery staff. He paid the entrance fee and received the exhibition catalogue. Then he slowly started his way through the exhibition. It took him about forty minutes to reach the back room of the gallery. Already from a distance he saw the well-known photo showing the painter in front of his famous work "Wall". Only once had Richter had himself photographed in front of this work. This photo had then adorned the title page of the art magazine "art".                     Exactly in front of this two-meter by two-meter picture sat a petite woman, whose head was surrounded by an only slightly tamed, dark brown mass of curls. Carefully and anxious to make as little noise as possible, Jamie approached with some distance. A few minutes passed, then he heard the woman sniffing softly. She opened her handbag and was obviously looking for a handkerchief in a hurry. Jamie reached into the right pocket of his jacket and pulled out a pack of Tempo tissues, which he opened and held out to the unknown woman.         "Please, take one of these."

“Boston” by chabotphoto          The woman turned her head up to him and looked at him with big, red, weeping eyes.          Then she immediately looked back down to the ground.          "Don’t be ashamed. I know only too well how much this painting can speak to a person's soul," Jamie said softly.          "What?" asked the young woman and looked at Jamie again.          "I meant the picture..."          Jamie pointed with his right hand to the large photo she was sitting in front of. Claire looked over, then shook her head.          "I ... I didn't ..."          At that moment, the dark silk scarf she had wrapped around her neck began to come loose, revealing her ivory skin. To his horror Jamie discovered several dark red-blue strangulation marks there.          James Fraser had learned early on to hide his emotions well. Among the people who regularly dealt with him, he was known for the stoic mask he was able to put on. A mask that never betrayed what he really thought or felt. Ernst Neuenburger had once highlighted this characteristic of his Scottish friend as a further asset to his diplomatic missions, saying, that if Jamie ever got tired of his daily work, he could make a very good living as a poker player.                But at that moment every joule of stoic calm left him. A feeling of righteous anger pervaded his entire body and the desire to bring the one who had caused those marks and the pain and fears associated with them to justice almost overwhelmed him.                His emotions had obviously not escaped the young woman. Frightened, she grabbed her neck and immediately put the scarf back on. Then she looked down again. Now tears were dripping from Claire's face onto the floor. Jamie, who had not failed to notice this either, again held out the package of Tempo tissues to her.          "Please, take the whole package."              Claire reached for the tissues.          "Thank you."          "May I sit with you?" Jamie asked, pointing to the other side of the bench.          She nodded.

         Cautious not to get too close to her, he sat down on the other end of the bench.          A few minutes went by in which they both remained silent. But in James Fraser's head the thoughts were spinning. What could he do to help this young woman without endangering his mission? How could he approach her without frightening her timid nature even more? In what way could he gain her trust? And above all: How could he prevent her from being exposed to even more brutality?          In Claire's mind, too, one thought chased the other. Who was this man? What did he want from her? Could she trust him? Was he the help she had prayed for just a few minutes ago in a more or less conscious prayer? He did not look like an angel, more like the modern version of a tall Viking. And yet there was nothing about him that seemed threatening to her. His bright blue eyes gave her a feeling of ... a feeling of ...          Suddenly the soft, deep voice that had so kindly offered her the handkerchiefs before interrupted her thoughts:          "Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Etienne Marcel de Provac Alexandre. I'm a wine merchant. I had a business meeting in town today."          Jamie gave her his right hand.          Claire, who had calmed down a bit, grabbed it and answered:          "Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp..."

“Hände” by Bru-nO    

         Usually, she would also have used the name "Randall", but she never wanted to have anything to do with that name again. Before she could even think about how to get rid of this name, the stranger's voice interrupted her thoughts again:          "Oh, from France too?"

         "Not exactly. My ancestors ... emigrated to England ... many centuries ago. Are you from France? You speak English with no accent?“          Jamie had to smile.

         "Well, my ancestors also left France centuries ago. Then they came to Germany ... through ... various countries. I ... I work as a wine merchant for a company in Berlin.“

         He reached into the right inside pocket of his jacket, took out a small silver case with business cards and handed one of them to Claire. She took the card and read attentively. Surprised, she suddenly heard herself wonder:          "How far is Berlin from here?"          Jamie thought for a moment.          "A little over 6,000 kilometers, I guess."          "And how far is it from London to Berlin?"          "About 1,000 kilometers."          "And you are in Boston on business?"          "Yes, I had a meeting with one of our business partners."          She nodded.          "I don't want to be indiscreet, but may I ask you something?"          Claire looked at him and Jamie realized that the trust he had just so carefully tried to build between them had disappeared from her eyes.

         But then the young woman nodded again.          "You ... you're not here for the exhibition?" he asked softly, almost whispering.

         "No," Claire replied just as softly, and then, to her own surprise, it flowed out of her:          "I ... I was looking for a place where ... I could have some piece, a quiet place to think, and since the church was closed ..."          "Sorry if I disturbed you. I didn’t mean to."          Jamie made preparations to stand up carefully. But to his surprise, Claire had quickly put her hand on his arm as if she were holding him back. Was she? She didn't know it herself.          At that moment, the voice of the friendly co-worker who had greeted Jamie sounded from the ceiling speakers. She warned the visitors to the gallery that it would be closing shortly.

         Jamie looked at Claire.          "What are you gonna do now?"

         He did not need to wait for an audible  answer, her eyes told him that she did not know.          "May I invite you to dinner, Mrs. Beauchamp?"

         What did that man want from her? Could she trust him? Or was there some other purpose behind his altruism. She had truested Frank once ... But what if he really just wanted to help her? What if he really just wanted to be kind to her? Maybe because the thought of his French ancestors had activated a kind of feeling of solidarity? Did she have any chance? Did she have a better alternative?          Claire nodded.          "Thank you."          Jamie got up and waited until Claire had also got up and taken her bag. Slowly they walked towards the exit. Through one of the large windows they saw that the rain that had begun to cover the city a few hours earlier, had gradually turned into a real storm. Jamie grabbed his smartphone and dialed the chauffeur's number. Shortly afterwards Carl appeared in front of the gallery with two large black umbrellas and together they walked quickly to the car.

         "To the hotel, Mr. Alexandre?"          "Yes, Carl, to the hotel."          Claire looked at Jamie in surprise.          But he briefly put a hand on her right arm to calm her down:          "My hotel has a wonderful restaurant. I arrived yesterday and will fly back to Berlin tomorrow. I didn't have time to explore other restaurants."          Half an hour later they were sitting at a table in the hotel restaurant and had ordered dinner. Claire had decided that she would make the most of the time they had together. She had nothing to lose and so she began to question Jamie, alias Etienne. How had his family come to Germany? Had he grown up in Germany? Had he studied? Did he have brothers and sisters? How long had he worked for the company that sent him to Boston? Did he enjoy his job? Did he want to pursue this profession all his life?          As they ate and talked, Claire carefully glanced over his hands. He was not wearing any rings. So the question of whether he was married seemed unnecessary. Now he looked at her questioningly, obviously he had noticed something.

         "You are wearing a very beautiful watch, Etienne," she said, hoping that he would not notice that her attention had not been focused on the piece of jewelry on his left wrist. Already in the car she had seen that he was wearing a watch with a blue dial that matched the colour of his eyes.

         "What kind of brand is it?" she asked, hoping to distract him further.

         "It's a Glashütte Original. Model PanoMaticLuna," he replied. Then he cut off another piece of his steak.

         "Looks expensive," she said, then led another fork of lettuce to her mouth.

         "Let's just say it wasn't cheap," Jamie replied before he in turn brought his fork with the meat to her mouth.

         "So you make good money?"

         The question came briskly and Claire almost bit her tongue. She hoped she hadn't offended him. But Jamie didn't seem to mind her remark.

         "I was lucky enough to close a very good sale a few years ago and my boss gave me a percentage of the profits. That's how I afforded this watch. I'm not giving much about wearing ... jewellery, but I've always wanted a reliable watch.

         "What was that you were selling at the time? It must have been quite extraordinary."        

         Beauchamp! Your mouth will finally get you into trouble.

         She was about to apologize when Jamie grabbed his wine glass, smelled it and then took a sip. This gave him a chance to think for a moment before he answered.

         Claire also reached for her wine glass. She looked at him and saluted him.

         "Well," he began, after putting his glass down, "I can't, of course, talk about business matters. But let's put it this way: I located some very old bottles of European wine a few years ago and was able to acquire them for someone else, a collector, at a very good price."        

         Fraser, you nut. I hope she takes it from you.

         He'd read that this sort of business was really happening, but extremely rare. He also wondered if his answer had sounded convincing. Yes, he'd bought this watch on a bonus. But he had not received it for finding and reselling old wine bottles. For weeks he had been negotiating in the hottest weather with a North African group of bandits who had kidnapped a German-Austrian team of archaeologists. After finally returning the twelve men and women to Vienna and Berlin on a Gulfstream 650, Ernst Neuenburger presented him with a cheque. With this money he had bought the watch he had been wearing ever since.          As dinner drew to a close, Jamie decided to play at full risk.                  "Claire, I know this must sound ... strange to you. But ... I'd like to help you. How would you feel about me booking you a hotel room? My company can cover the cost. It's no problem. I'll check with my boss later. You ... you don't ... you don't have to ... go back to ... him ... tonight."          He had spoken softly, almost in a whisper. Yet she felt as if her ears were ringing. Before she could even answer, Jamie had called a waiter and asked him to ask at the reception if he could book another single room.          She looked at him speechless. He just smiled.          Shortly after, the waiter came back and explained that unfortunately there were no more free single rooms because of the Boston Marathon, which would take place in two days.          "So that's all right then, but thanks for the suggestion," Claire said and reached for her wine glass again.          "There's another possibility," Jamie started and reached for his wine glass as well, "there's a fold-out sofa in my studio. You can take my bed, I'll have it freshly made and I'll take the sofa."          Claire placed her wine glass on the table with such force that he thought the stem would break off.          "What do you think?!" she thundered at him. "I'm not that kind of woman."          He would have been happy to answer her at the same volume. But some of the other guests were already looking to them and he wanted to avoid further fuss at all costs.          "And I, Claire, am not such a man," he replied in a calm but very specific tone. When she had calmed down a little, he went on quietly:          "I have a family in Berlin and I don't travel the world to bring vulnerable women to my room on my nights off."

         He put his hands in front of his face and massaged his forehead lightly. When he looked up again, he saw her shaking slightly. Since she was silent, he continued speaking:          "All I want, Claire, is to help you. I don't know who inflicted those marks on your neck and I'm not going to ask you about. But I don't want you to have to go back to him - if you don't want to. And I don't want you wandering around this town in the middle of the night in this weather too. I want to be sure that you're safe and that you're getting a good night's sleep. Tomorrow you can decide what to do next.          Tears ran down her cheeks and Claire quickly reached for her napkin to wipe them away.          "Claire, please! Allow me to help you."          He reached out his right hand to her. When she had put the napkin aside, she grabbed it.          "Thank you. You’re kind."          Jamie waved to the waiter and asked him to arrange for the pull-out sofa in his studio to be preoared and his bed to be freshly made up. He also asked to separate the two sleeping areas with screens. When the waiter returned shortly afterwards and announced that the guest's wishes would be carried out, Jamie asked that dessert be served.

“Lemon Meringue Tart" by la-fontaine          After they had eaten the lemon meringue tart and emptied the rest of the bottle of wine, Jamie stood up and offered his hand to Claire. Together they walked out of the restaurant to the cloakroom where they received their coats.          Soon after, Jamie opened the door to his studio and let Claire go in. When he entered after her, he saw that the service had carried out his wishes to the point. His bed had been freshly made and there was a second bathrobe on the bedspread. The bedroom had been separated from the living room area (where the sofa had now been converted into a pull-out bed) by a bamboo screen about 2 meters long. Claire also looked around carefully and Jamie thought he saw something like an expression of satisfaction and relaxation on her face.

         He took Claire's coat off and hung it with his in the cloakroom.          "Take a seat, please," he said, pointing to one of the armchairs in front of the gas fireplace. Claire let herself fall into the armchair more than she let herself sit down. It seemed as if she suddenly lost all her strength. Her eyes fell on the wedding ring that she still wore out of habit. She tried to take it off, but she couldn’t. Overwhelmed by feelings of pain and anger, she burst into tears again and began to sob. Jamie, who stood at one of the windows for a moment and looked down at the street, turned around immediately and took two big steps towards her. Without thinking about it any further, he knelt in front of her and put an arm around her.          "Claire," he said softly, "trust me, we'll find a way. You don't have to go back to him."     When she looked at him with her redish weeping eyes, he could hardly bear the sight and pulled her to him.
