Sauli's POV
Brad Bell is under arrest for charges he faces as the most wanted criminal in both Russia and America. He'll be trailed in United States soil. It's over, it's finally over. I got my best friend back, my daughter back and Sauli's partner who he thought he lost. I rake my fingers through the blonde Finnish's hair. He cleaned up my small injuries from Roxanne, but I didn't blame her for anything. It wasn't her fault, it never was in the beginning. Roxanne is sleeping on the helicopter's cot that's flying us back to HQ. Leo is sitting next to his younger sister, hoping that she'll wake up soon. He's so protective of Roxanne, he rubs his thumb against Roxanne's back hand. Allison cuddles up to Leo to comfort him. Ashley, Neil and Heather and sleeping. Everyone else is awake, silent.
Roxanne begin to stir, I lift myself up from the wall and kneel down to where Roxanne is. She opens her eyes, I smile seeing those beautiful ocean irises, I so dearly missed. Her eyes fixed on, she slowly sits up, "Dad?" She spoke.
I gasp, taking her hand, "Roxanne, you spoke."
She gasps, touching at the base of her throat, "I can talk?" She gasps once again.
"Guess the serum had cured her mute. She can speak again," Sauli mentions.
"Dad, I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know what I was doing."
"It's okay, sweetie. You're okay, you're safe and that's all that matters."
"I missed you, dad," She hugs me as I copied her actions, happy to have my baby girl back.
"Hey, Roxy," Leo smiles.
"Hey, Leo," She hugs him also.
"Your voice it's so pretty," Leo compliments.
"Thank you," She whispers, "I can finally speak."
"We're happy that you're okay," Sauli smiles.
"Thank you, for making my dad happy," Roxy returns the gesture.
Sauli's POV
We all returned to HQ and they wheeled in Sutan and Roxanne to give them a check up. Me and Adam went up to his dorm to go to bed. We changed out of our mission uniforms and into our PJ's. We lay together on his bed, Adam wraps his strong arms around me as I wrap mine around his waist. Letting sleep take over us, in the matter of minutes, we fell asleep in each other's arms.
Knocking woke us up from our slumber. I get up and head to the door. Opening it to reveal Leo smiling, "What is it Leo?"
"Roxanne and Sutan want to see both of you," He answers, walking away.
I smile when I thought of seeing my partner again after so long, "Who was that?" Adam asks as I close the door behind me.
"Leo said that Sutan and Roxanne are up. We should get dressed and head to the Emergency Room."
I grab my clothes from the chair, I picked out yesterday, and head into the bathroom to change as Adam is changing in the room. I changed into a red button up dress shirt, black jeans and black combat boots. I exit the bathroom, seeing Adam already dressed and ready to go. I take his hand, he smiles at our joined fingers. We walk out of his room and head down to the Emergency Room. I was nervous of seeing Sutan again after so long. I walk up to the desk asking to see Sutan and Roxanne. She directed us to their rooms. Adam left to see his daughter and I enter into his room. He was sitting in a chair, reading.
