Loss and capture

Good-bye

Their hugged lasted a while. They were finally safe.

'I've missed you so much' Sarah sighed relieved as she pulled away from Cosima's embrace. She smiled fixing her hair.

'I missed you too!' The scientist replied. She stared down at her sister's leg. 'You want me to look at it?'

Delphine sat on a chair while Miss S made tea. Kira sat on another chair painting. Sarah took off her pants and Cosima opened the first-aid kit that was on the table. Cosima started mixing some stuff, while talking about what happened.

Charlotte was already at Marion and Rachel still on the island.

'What happens now?' - asked Miss S as she sat down on a chair. Sarah shrugged.

'We are leaving, going away from here.' –Cosima said as she picked up the cotton 'Delphine and I'

'What?' - Sarah said. 'Where will you go? And what about all the progress you've made?' - Sarah seemed indignant.

Cosima sighed and glanced at Delphine. They seemed sure and secure.

'Maybe Barcelona, or Paris. We do not know yet' Cosima not daring to look at her sister's face. 'But we will still stay in contact and we will come to visit.' She added to calm the situation.

'We went through all this shite, and you're just leaving. Perfect!' Sarah tried to pull away while Cosima was still trying to heal her wound.

'We believe that if you are separated, they will not go after you.' Delphine interrupted timidly.

'Welldone! I thought we had an inseparable bond'- Sarah replied wryly.

Cosima ignored the comment as she took some items from the kit. She wiped some sweat from her brow as she looked at Delphine. She smiled.

'I'll miss you, Cos'- said Sarah. They hugged and she left Cosima's embrace. They were the sisters with the strongest bond. She pulled in Kira to join the embrace. Cosima picked her up and squeezed her.

'I'll miss you the most.' She said between hugs. "But we will see you again, soon. Are you guys going to a company us to the airport?' Cosima asked hesitantly.

'Of course' – Mrs S interrupted while smiling.

'Awesome' - Cosima replied.

'Cosima.'- Delphine said faintly. She was not used to being around Sarah.

Cosima turned to her nodding. They had to leave.

'Well monkey, auntie Cosima and Delphine have to go.' She gave a big kiss to Kira and put her back down. 'We will keep in touch, okay?' – Cosima added, securing Sarah.

Sarah nodded. After Delphine and Cosima said their goodbyes, the couple left the old kitchen converted into a hideout and headed towards the car.

Delphine noticed that Cosima was somewhat saddened.

'Hey...' She touched her chin gently 'We'll them again sometime.'- Delphine said.

Cosima nodded, wiping away tears. Delphine approached her and gave her a sweet and soft kiss on the lips. Cosima returned the kiss and smiled.

"Je t'aime.' whispered the blonde.

'I love you too, sweetheart.' She replied.

Delphine insured Cosima in the most endearing way as they headed to the airport.

----------

Cosima opened the door to her house. Everything was exactly like she left it a couple of months ago before she left. Delphine sat in the swivel desk chair while Cosima was heading towards her bed. She took out an empty suitcase from under her bed and put it on the mattress.
