Short Stories : The Attachment Partner (Chapter 18)

CHAPTER 18

"Cheila, could you please make sure that Silvia doesn't come near Biggis anymore. At least not until she is fully conscious again? “Asked Gillian who was crouching next to Birgid´s bed and leaning over his girlfriend worried. "Why does she have the bandage over her eyes and can anyone tell me what has happened to her since she disappeared from Earth?"

"Yes, I will explain that to you. I assume you are Gillian. ”He heard a strange voice say. "As I know the little one, we will have enough time for it and by the way, I am Mike, her brother.

Cheila why a security team accompanies mother to her flyer. I assume you are responsible for it? "

"Yes I am. She almost made Percy give Birgid the poison, you know which one, ”Chaila explained in a husky voice.

“We came here at the last second to prevent it. Aren't you amazed when I brought along? ”She would have been really happy about a little more praise from Mike, but that's how he and Piet were. The little girl could do whatever she wanted and was always protected and she really had to fight for every little bit of recognition when Birgid was around.

Chaila actually couldn't understand why her mother hated the little girl so much. Well, Kleine was good, but Birgid was born just five minutes later like her.

Chaila only hoped that Birgid would not believe in this superstition and would kill one of her children. But on the other hand, it was hard to imagine, since she had felt it often enough.

If you only consider that it was scientifically proven that this superstition was absolute nonsense. It had clearly been found that twins were the same as everyone else. Everyone had their good and bad qualities. But her mother disagreed with most of the Volans.

"Cheila you know what, you really are a sweetheart," she heard Mike say. "But where did you find him?"

"Not me, but he found me," she had to admit. But it didn't matter. The main thing was that he was there. Now Birgid only had to find at least some of her old fighting spirit.

At that moment two people entered the infirmary, it was Lydia Wendt, the grandmother of the Hinz children. If you could call her that and Gillian's mother. Who had learned on the flight here why Cheila had suddenly been in such a hurry.

When Amanda saw her son leaning over a young woman, she was afraid that he was late. "Gillian," she said to him, "How are you, were you early enough?" He looked at her and said: "He didn't inject the poison if you mean that. But we have to wait for everything else, at the moment she is only sleeping. At least says her doctor. Now we can only wait and hope for the best. "

"Gillian, I'm her grandmother, will you let me see her?" He got up a little hesitantly to make room for Lydia. "Well my boy don't look at me like that, I can't do miracles either, I just want to see how their children are doing. Do you actually know that they are yours, a pair of twins. "

There was a smile on his face. "I'm going to be a dad? Are you sure about that? ”At the moment he could have hugged everyone. But somehow the joy went away as he saw Biggi lying there. "Why does she just want to die? Could everything be so beautiful? Biggi, why only? "

"Well I think I can give you the answer, at least partially white," answered her grandmother. "She lost her attachment partner before she came to Terra and that is difficult to cope with. But for her as a Volanian warrior, it is even more difficult. She needs a partner with whom she can connect at any time. Be it because she needs help or just so that she knows what she is fighting for.

It is your connection to your home. She did it once without a bond partner, for whatever reason. I never got it out.

With this assignment, she only got away with life with a lot of luck.

She has never been alive much anyway. That only changed when she was with Sam. I don't think she coped with telling you to look for another one. Because at this point she will already have known that she needs you. Then she lost her eyesight in her last fight and believe me that was just too much.

Or as you say so nicely: The famous drop that overflows the barrel. "

Turning to Percy, after a short examination, she said: "If you had to give her such a strong sedative, the twins don't get it very well they are too quiet, that's not normal for two children."

"Damn it Mrs. Wendt I can't do anything for it, I only had the possibility to inject the sedative or her directly into Purex.

But then we wouldn't need to think about them or about the children, ”he replied extremely annoyed. She believed because he didn't know all this. "Just with the calm Percy, I think we are all a bit stressed, let's leave the three alone. Gillian don't worry too much, she and the kids will make it. It's stronger than some people think. "

He wasn't so sure about that.

Then he noticed his mother standing behind him and watching him. "Believe me, she notices that you're there even if it doesn't look like it. You just have to talk to her.

Do everything else you do when she is with you. If I am not mistaken, your subconscious already knows that you no longer have to fight this fight alone. Because I know that much from Lydia that she is most afraid of her blindness and of being alone. And she is no longer alone, I would say and she will not always remain blind. There is a good chance that she will be able to see again sometime, you should try to make it clear to her, "and smiled encouragingly at her son. "You will see that will work."

"Ma, I'll get along with it. I'm just terrified that she will come to herself and still want to die. Then I really don't know what to do. I love her more than you can imagine. ”He confessed to her.

"I can't imagine that she still wants that. She'll know you're there, just give her the time she needs. "

Hopefully I thought that I was right, and when I said to Gil, she said: "You still need Gillian, otherwise I will ask Cheila if she will fly me home."

"Home or to her ... mother?" And the hate in his voice said it all. Above all, he didn't understand how his mother could have such a girlfriend. "I have to digest the home with Silvia first, even if she was forced to keep the twin, this hatred is no longer normal. Especially when you consider that the two hardly ever saw each other. George had already taken care of her father.

Oh, Gillian, I brought you your things, including your guitar. As I know you, you'll need it, won't you? "

"Thank you Mom." But he carelessly put everything aside after his mother left after a while.

When Percy came back to the infirmary he saw him sitting in front of Biggi's couch and holding her hands while he spoke to her: "Biggi why do you just want to die. All you had to do was come to me. You should actually know that I love you and also need you. More like anyone else. Believe me, it doesn't bother me that you're blind, even if it were forever. The main thing is that we are together. Yes you are right it is easier if you can see But that's the way it is and you'll also be able to see again sometime. Believe me!!

Now stop this crap because of unconsciousness or coma, I want to take you home. "

Watching him like this, Percy thought: Hopefully he's strong enough for her, otherwise she'll kill herself and him one day.

To Gillian, he said: “Will you help me I want to take the bandage off her eyes. It's a little easier if you hold her head up a little. ”“ Sure, doctor. ”And lifted her torso with as much ease as if she didn't weigh anything.

"You can safely say Percy to me, weren't you where we picked up the little one from Terra?" He nodded and said after a short time: "Yes I was. If I only think of how her boyfriend back then hit me and said I wasn't good for her. I would get her badly, so he should see her now. She should have stayed with me, then she was definitely better. "

"That is not necessarily said," they heard Mike's voice. No one had noticed how he got in. "Gillian I wanted to show you their quarters. You can use it while on the Sunshine. I also wanted to tell you what has happened to her recently. Come on, she's in good hands here. "

"That may be, but I would still prefer to stay with her." Mike answered very firmly. "We also stay with her well, maybe better that way." He gave in and tried to give him an impression of Birgid.

"When Dad brought her here, she was actually pretty fine. She was just something like I should say, over the top and trying to deal with the fact that she had to face the fight with Huron alone.

She was terrified of it. I can imagine. She didn't say much. But Sam and she met Huron before and a short time later we were given Sam's body. And we didn't know where Birgid was for years.

But that was a long time ago and doesn't matter now. Here on the Sunshine she was only a few hours then she went on to Kirling for three weeks. To learn to protect yourself against thought influence and apparently to learn it yourself. If you had come there a few weeks earlier you would have found her there safely and healthily ..... "

"No, not!!!! Stop...

Leave him ... I don't want to !!!!!

They heard Birgid call. Suddenly she was sitting upright in bed.

It looked like she saw something no one else saw in the room. With her clenched fists, she seemed to be trying to hit someone. Which she apparently couldn't reach.

What Mike and Percy knew, unlike Gillian, that they had those dreams again.

Gillian shot up like a tarantula. "Biggi, you don't have to fight. You are on the Sunshine. Believe me nothing will happen to you here. “And tried to take her in her arms. Apparently he thought she had come to and just didn't know where she was. But had a lot to do to avoid her fists. In which despite her unconsciousness there was still some strength.

"Oh Biggi at last, I thought it would take longer for you to come back to yourself," only now did he notice that she didn't react to what he said or did. Because she was still not conscious, she was just dreaming. Disappointed, he sat down on her bed and after a while he actually managed to hug her. To calm and comfort her. But she kept struggling against his hug and tried to push him away from her while she kept shouting, "No, leave us alone ... No stop. Sam, Sam you mustn't die. I didn't want that. You promised to take care of me. You have to stay with me! ”You could hear her calling more and more quietly.

Only when he had assured her how many times that she was safe and nothing could happen to her did she become calmer again. She just didn't come to.

When she was lying quietly in his arms again he noticed that Percy was standing next to him with an infusion, he could only imagine if it was intended. But he put her away again when he noticed that she had calmed down again.

"You see Percy, I didn't say that everything will be a little easier if we find her attachment partner. Know the little one. That stubborn. "He heard Mike say cheerfully and from Percy came the answer:" Yes, but now she comes to her music lesson, hopefully she agrees, "but was visibly pleased that he did not have to give her a sedative.

Quite amazed, Gillian asked what hour of music she had come for. Grinning, the two of them presented him with a CD player and some CDs. "There is no such thing and it worked" that he had never used his music for medical purposes. "Along with a light sedative, yes," Percy had to admit. “She has always been a very idiosyncratic patient. I can still remember that sometimes Dad was almost desperate because she, Mike and Piet didn't respond to anything as usual. But nobody has had that much experience with Birnanese who are half Volanians.

"Percy, but I don't understand one thing? Why is she in a coma? It doesn't seem that bad with her eyes anymore. Apart from the fact that she can't see with these things. There are already artificial eyes today that are almost as good as real ones. Why doesn't she have those? "

Pery looked at him and then said: "You have to ask her. I was not allowed to use these “artificial things”, as she calls them. She threatened to have her taken out by the next doctor.

But with me in his laboratory I'm just about to grow a few eyes out of their DNA. She will probably accept it. Because they are not artificial.

But you're right only because of the eyes, nobody is in a coma. "

"She's in a coma because she wants it more or less," said Mike. "She misses Sam. Because this nightmare from before, well it must be part of what happened to Fokir back then. I guess she can't handle killing Sam. "

"I don't think so? She killed her own attachment partner? I don't think this joke is funny! ”Gillian was shocked to say.

"Not the way you think. But it's not a joke either. ”Mike continued. "She was forced to do so by influencing her thoughts. I don't think she can handle it and that's why she is trying to end her life now. She is simply afraid that someone will force her to do it again. "And after a short pause he asked Gillian:" You don't happen to know how to establish a mental connection with your partner? "

"No, until recently, I didn't even know that there were any attachment partners."

"Too bad .. But I already thought that. Well, it looks like she will have to do it alone. Because it blocks us. I would say she is waiting for someone else. Although she should actually know that you cannot do that. "

"How and where do you learn something like this?" Mike looked at him shaking his head and said only: "It's too late for that now. You learn that from your mother until you are about eight years old. Or later from his attachment partner. "Mike heard him say softly, as if to defend himself:" At that time I was on Terra and Mother on Birna and we rarely saw them. "

Mike hesitated a little hesitantly and replied: “If your mother really wanted it, it would have been possible without you being together. But unfortunately the children are being taught less and less. Most people think that something like this is no longer needed these days. Don't blame yourself, that doesn't help anymore. "

After a while Gillian asked.

"And what happened after Kirling? It must have been around the time she was in Mexico? ”He wanted to find out, still holding on to Biggi.

"Then I only know that she met Billy, Ivon and then brought her to Gerd. The day after she had the meeting with Huron. ”Mike's face showed that he didn't want to talk about what Gillian would like to know now. He remembered the sight of his sister too well after the fight. Even if you didn't see any of it on the outside. The artificial eyes didn't work, but at least they looked real. So he only told him that they had found Birgid shortly afterwards next to Huron, who was dead and that she had been here on the Sunshine since then.

Just when Gillian wanted to ask who this Billy was, a voice sounded from an invisible loudspeaker: "Comander Hinz, please come to the bridge urgently!"

Mike got up and said: “Duty is calling, we will continue talking another time. But I will send someone else to show you Birgid's quarters. “And quickly made his way to the bridge.

“Man Biggi, I really didn't imagine that. What happened on Fokir if you only said something. Then maybe we would be back on earth and I would not have to be here and hope that you will come back to yourself. Well at least I found you, at least a start. You have to take the next step, but believe me, I'll stay with you. Who knows what else will happen again, you won't run away from me again! ”Gave her a kiss and took the guitar on hand because the music helped him as much as you did.

Even if it was just a little jingling, a melody and the appropriate text gradually emerged, even if it would once again be a sad song. It was more in line with his mood at the moment and so were his songs.

When a young officer appeared some time later to take him to Birgid's quarters, he had fallen asleep next to Biggi and Percy sent him away again with the comment: "Let him sleep when he wakes up, I will show him the way" and darkened it From the infirmary. Since the two were the only ones here it wasn't a problem either.

So it was very dark when Gillian woke up with slight low back pain. An armchair was just not the right place to sleep.

At first he didn't know where he was. Until he saw the blinking of the advertisements over Biggi's couch, everything came back to him.

"Well awake again," he was greeted by Percy. "What do you think of a coffee?" "A coffee, not really I need some sleep," said Gillian, yawning heartily. It seems to me that for the first time in a long time I can really sleep again without feeling like I'm in the wrong place. ”

"Ok then come with me, in Birgid's quarters I get a decent coffee and you a comfortable bed."

He hadn't imagined their quarters to be so big.

But Percy explained that Biggi had declared the three children's rooms as their area and if it should have bothered. Piet had the moonlight. Mike had always been out at that time and also had a house on Birna. Back then everyone actually had what they wanted.

One room had been converted into a cozy kitchen. In which you could apparently even cook properly. Not just this vending machine meal, which was mostly common. Percy seemed to know this well too. He knew immediately where was everything he needed for his coffee and also told him that the coffee from Colombia was on Terra. Birgid had always had a preference for this planet.

The room in which they first came was probably their study. With all the trimmings what she needed to be able to command the Sunshine from here in an emergency.

But the sitting area looked very much like a living room on earth. The whole was delimited by a shelf wall. There were a lot of photos and all kinds of different odds and ends.

The third room was a bedroom with a huge water bed and a closet in it. In contrast to the other rooms, the floor here was covered with a thick, fluffy carpet.

Percy, who came with a large cup of coffee in his hand, only said: "Sometimes I wonder what she just wants with such a huge bed. I prefer the smaller ones because the girlfriend can't run away that far. She had it specially made on Volan. "He said and asked:" Wouldn't you like some coffee? "

"No thanks I would rather sleep a little. Percy if anything is, I mean with Biggi you wake me up "

"Sure, don't worry," he replied, "I just drink my coffee and then I disappear. So you can go to sleep in peace. ”Before he left he showed Gillian a button with which he was directly connected to the infirmary.

It looked like she could really reach all the important stations from here if she had to.

Tomorrow he would look at a few of the photos that were spread all over the place, maybe he could get a better picture of their past life. Now he was just too tired to do it.

He felt rested when he woke up like he hadn't in a long time. After a long time he had slept through again, but where was he? When he groped for a light switch and found one, he lay down again. You just had to enjoy this sight. A window had almost opened, not a real window, just a dome. Now there was only a transparent pane between him and the universe. He could well imagine that Biggi liked to lie here to watch the stars. It was just a wonderful sight.

He had never heard of such a quarters on a spaceship. In and of itself, even the command of such a ship did not have a large quarters. But what Cheila had said was Biggi's ship, so why shouldn't she live the way she liked.

Only in a pair of pants and with damp hair from the shower was he sitting at her desk and inquiring about Percy. But he only said that nothing had changed since he went to bed yesterday. While he was talking to Percy, the smell of coffee rose in his nose.

Who was here again to have a cup of coffee? Was that also when she was here?

"What do you think if you put on something and then come to me? I have something here that will also interest you. A film with footage of Birgid. ”He was addressed from behind.

"I'm George Hinz, her father." He wanted to get to know his daughter's friend a little better.

Just when Gillian wanted to tell him that he wanted to go to Biggi, George said only: “You can go to the little one later. Besides that, Billy is with her now. He seems to miss her more than he admits. "

Again this Billy somehow this guy pissed him off, even though he didn't know him at all.

Biggi was his girlfriend and he should get his hands off of her.

"I don't care, I'll see how she is doing now," and wanted to make it clear to the others that Biggi belonged to him. Even if this Billy had known her for a long time.

George turned astonished at Gillian's angry voice. When he noticed the sparkle in his eyes he had to laugh.

At the same time a thought came to him and he asked with a smile on his face: "Tell Gillian can it be that you are jealous?"

"Yes, who is this Billy actually?" He growled angrily between his closed lips.

“Human boy for jealousy there really is no reason. Not with Billy. You'll have to get used to that. ”After a short pause during which he watched Birgid's friend closely. Now he really seemed to love her.

Like Sam, it would turn out.

"He is Birgid's son. I hope you are calmed down now and come on let's watch the movie. Sam took him in and gave it to me shortly before his death. As if he suspected something.

But then he probably wouldn't have taken the little one with me, I guess. Well she was always a stubborn, although she mostly listened to Sam."

While Gillian dropped into the next best armchair, he asked: "Why does everyone here call them little ones? It's not that small. "

"Well, it has more to do with being the youngest of my children. At the beginning I always blew Mike and Piet into the little girl, at that time she was really very small, so be careful and so the name kept. On the other hand, I can not imagine that she will get rid of him sometime.

In addition, not everyone calls it that. Just her family, friends and Sunshine’s senior management. The latter only if you are alone with her. You have to keep in mind that most of them raised them. She spent her first 10 years on the Sunshine and I was mostly busy commanding the ship. So didn't have much time for my kids. But if I think about it afterwards, it didn't harm them. "

George put in the film Sam had given him and hoped for some nice shots of his daughter.

Gillian would definitely do well to see her happy again and not just lying in bed asleep.

He was amazed when he saw his daughter singing and dancing on the film. Singing above all, nobody else heard that and you also heard why.

What did she say once, I only sing when a room needs to be cleared quickly. Then believe me, everyone leaves the room in a hurry.

It wasn't that bad, but it didn't sound good. But apparently she didn't care that Sam was listening.

"I would like to know how her former boyfriend got her to do so. For me she never sang, not even a word. ”He heard Gillian say, who had found his smile again when he saw her hopping around like that.

What was she doing now, she actually started to dance undressing to a slower tune. He could have watched for hours.

But suddenly the camera swung and you could only see the floor. Shortly afterwards he heard her say in a seductive voice: No Sam not, now there is only something to look at. Can you look at me when I'm gone again? If you maybe have a little longing for me and jokingly threatened the cameraman with your finger. So that you don't forget me completely.

Seeing this, he only noticed how little he actually knew about her. He would have loved to have been the cameraman.

But at the same time he could also imagine that if Sam was still alive she probably would not have taken notice of him.

It was probably fate that everything had happened that way.

Now the scene changed and you could see her on the back of a horse, she didn't want to, but she took part in a horse race as Jokey. The whole race had been filmed, her horse was not running but you had the feeling that it was flying towards the finish with his rider.

Her stallion looked very much like Blacky, no wonder she had liked him immediately.

There were several other scenes with her and various other people he didn't know.

Next time she was on the Sunshine right next door in her kitchen.

It looked like she was preparing a meal.

It didn't really bother him at all, so he was focused on Biggi. But when she turned the music up she played his first CD. She must have just come out on Terra, how did she get there?

When he heard her voice say: stop filming me and help me rather he turned all his attention back to the film and found it very irritating that an onion suddenly came flying towards the camera.

But she was turned away quickly enough before she could hit.

For that one heard an ouch, apparently she had met the cameraman.

Who also complained right away: Hey, pas on the camera still breaks. Then what should I film you with? Besides, you don't really want me to help you. I thought we wanted to eat it afterwards and not throw it away. I really can't cook, that's more your thing.

I'm getting hungry if I just watch you.

Just when Birgid wanted to return something, you heard a ringing, not a nice sound but annoying.

Sam I think that's it with eating when it doesn't mean work. And you could still see Biggi going to her desk to answer the call. Shortly afterwards he heard her in a very strange tone and very definitely say: Man Sam make this thing out of business and not for a party. After that nothing came, he could have watched for hours.

"Now from this order that you received there Sam didn't come back alive and she only came back a few weeks ago." One could hear Biggi's father say sadly and after some time he said to Gillian: "Would you like me to eat accompany? I could imagine that you are also hungry. ”Gillian just nodded, his stomach already felt as if he hadn't had anything for an eternity.

A little later you saw the two sitting comfortably in the canteen and eating. While Gillian was curiously examined by the team members present.

Who finally wanted to get to know the new Birgid, but since he had appeared with the Comodore, he was left alone.

When he finally got to the infirmary, he noticed that jealousy was creeping up again.

The guy should be her son. Difficult to imagine.

He was barely older than Billy.

Then she must have been half a child herself. The other person who was talking to her now, he knew. He had been there when they picked up Biggi from Earth and this calamity had only just started.

He would have loved to tell her brother, Piet must have said what he thought about taking Biggi with him. In his opinion, she would have belonged to him on Earth. But completely forgot that she had wanted to leave.

Piet, who noticed that he was being watched, turned to see who had come.

When he noticed Gillian's angry look, he already suspected what was going on in the head of his counterpart: "Don't look at me so angry. I can't help it that she is here now and has no desire to live anymore. If you absolutely need a culprit take Huron, it doesn't matter anyway. He is dead.

Besides, nothing and no one could have prevented her from meeting Huron.

Even if she had known the exit.

In fact, if you haven't noticed, she's a stubborn stubborn ”

"It runs in the family. The one with the stubborn. Believe me, one of them is better than the other, ”he heard a woman say. Something like Biggi's old, with a pretty exotical look that just came in.

"Bea," Piet asks amazed. "Something is wrong, I think you are on the Moonlight." "How do you not see? But it would be better if you came along there is trouble in the Drugon system and we have been challenged. As it looks here, Biggi is in good hands with him.

Achso Billy your flyer is in the hangar of the Sunshine. “She seemed to be in a hurry to come back. "Come on Piet, otherwise I'll fly alone and you can watch how you get to have fun."

"Man, that's not a given. I am with the little one. You have to go away again. Can't they send someone else? Gillian are you doing me a favor? ”Piet didn't look particularly happy. He had actually planned to stay on the Sunshine for a few days. But that's how it happened more often than As Comander of the space fleet.

"Depends on what you want?" So Gillian actually didn't want to do him a favor.

"Only take good care of her when she comes to. So that she doesn't do any nonsense again. Because believe me it is still needed and not just by you. Maybe you can make her plausible. She doesn't listen to us. "

Turning to Billy, he said: "Give your mother a kiss from me if she can come back before we get back."

But he hardly seemed to listen, just nodded absentmindedly and then said: "What should I do? I just can't get through to her. All the years earlier we were always in contact and now she blocks everything. The only thing missing is that she throws me out. Just why?"

Piet, who was almost out, came back. Looked encouragingly at his nephew and said, “Just don't give up. I believe in you very firmly. You might have to work together, I would tell her the most important people for her at the moment. Believe me, I will be more than uncomfortable when I come back and tell me that she didn't do it. I entrust you to my little sister, remember. ”Blinked at the two again and then disappeared.

Billy and Gillian looked at each other and neither knew what to make of the other. "Are you coming through to her?" Gillian heard him ask and he felt Billy would have been very happy about a yes. But he had to disappoint him. "If I could maybe?"

Astonished, Billy looked at him and asked: "If you could do something?" And after a short pause "You don't mean to say that you can't contact her mentally? She said to me yourself that you are her attachment partner. That is impossible."

Embarrassed and almost apologetically, he explained: “Well, until a few months ago I didn't even know that there was anything like attachment partners. We were always told that it was all humbuck. That would have been the case in the past, but not today. So I never learned to come into contact with anyone mentally. You can't imagine how amazed I was the first time I received her thoughts, even though I didn't know she was there. That also in the middle of the stage, I almost would have thrown the whole performance. ”Here it seemed to be quite normal that one mastered this connection of thoughts. But what troubled him the most was that he could help Biggi now if he could do this thinking. It was crazy.

Billy looked at him as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard, but then said: “If she does, she'll teach you. I am completely unsuitable for this in your case. Then let's hope that at least she'll notice you're there.

Oh, I brought her someone else, I hope you are not afraid of dogs. "Knocked on his knee and called softly:" Come on Toby, here is someone you have to meet. "

He didn't think he could believe his eyes under the bed Biggi's dog was just emerging. Didn't growl at him but even wagged his tail.

"That doesn't exist, I'm not going to growl today. How did you do that? ”He asked. He just shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is not my merit. Piet gave him the appropriate command earlier when you came in. That means you are taboo for him now, that means for Toby that you can do what you want he will do nothing about it.

So and I'm going to fly home now, Miri always gets angry when she has to wait. See Gillian until the days. "

The next few days nothing special happened. Biggi made no move to wake up and the children were fine. At least something positive. Billy came every day, but there was no use.

When Gillian was sitting so alone next to her again, he had reached a conclusion and told her: “So madam it is enough for me. I will take you home. Because if I'm honest I wouldn't want to wake up here either. At home, it should be something completely different. Think about the sun shining, you can hear the sea rustling, the birds singing and more such beautiful sounds.

I have already spoken to Mamusch. I'll pick them up right away and then we'll fly to me, you heard.

Before that, I'll talk to Percy.

It would be good if he came along at least as long as the Sunshine was overhauled.

With me your family can visit you too. I could imagine that you like it a lot better there. Just think how happy we were there. That's why I'm going to leave you a bit alone now, but please don't do any nonsense in the meantime, I'll definitely be back. ”

During the time when he clarified everything with Percy and Mike, a bed was built into his flyer, on which he could bring Biggi home.

But first he wanted to pick up Sita. That is why he was on the flight to Birna. At some point he would fly here with Biggi and the twins and visit their grandparents. He knew they had a farm here somewhere.

Fortunately, he had found Sita quickly. She had been waiting for him very curiously.
