The next day there was a small knock on the bakery's door. It was Laura again but she seemed worried.
Mrs. L- Goodmorning dear, would you like some pie? You look scared..
Laura- I think that I forgot my picture here last night... Have you seen it?
Mrs. L- Unfortunately love I can't say I have.. it must have been really important to you.
Laura- It's the only thing I have left to remind me of my parents.. Is Mr. Todd here?
Mrs. L- He left a couple of minutes ago... he had to go buy some ingredients for my pies.. As you can see I can't leave the shop, she said laughing.
Laura- Yes I understand.. I'll come back in the afternoon.. please inform me if you see it.
Mrs. L- Yes of course dear.
Laura turned around and left. Some seconds later she noticed the stairs that were connected to the bakery that led to Mr. Todd's barber shop. She wouldn't steal anything, she would just take a look to search for her picture.. It was hers after all.
She quietly went up the stairs and opened the door, luckily it was unlocked... he must have forgotten to lock it. She closed the door behind her and started looking around the place. There was the chair he was shaving people on, a counter on the right and a different counter behind the chair where he would place his razors and the other stuff he needed, a big chest on the left and a huge window next to the chair. Then something caught her eye on something next to two small boxes on one if the counters. She slowly walked there and found her picture! But there was something else next to it... she opened the tiny box, not the one with the razors inside, to find two more pictures inside it. The first picture was the same as hers, but the second one included a man with brown hair and eyes.
Laura- He can't be.. if that's my mom and sister then... no he can't be him, he looks....different.
She couldn't stay longer because she heard people talking downstairs. She recognized the voice of Mr. Todd and Mrs. Lovett talking downstairs. She only heard the words "tell her", "daughter" and "father". She opened and closed the door quietly with her picture on her hand and ran downstairs, she didn't care of she would make a sound. When she reached the final step she looked up to see Mr. Todd's and Mrs. Lovett's face.
Laura- It's not what it looks like, I promise...
