Disclaimer – I own zilch. Shame.

A/N – Couldn't stand them not being able to say anything at all to each other before she left…

Hey.

Hey.

You're not here.

Had no choice.

Hetty just told me. Still reeling.

Timing sucks.

You got that right.

Heading to C130 now.

Happy to break every traffic law on the planet to get there before you go?

Nearly at the airfield already.

I want to hear your voice.

Sat next to Granger...

So no goodbyes?

Hate goodbyes.

How about I'll miss you instead?

That's better.

Monty will miss you.

I'll miss his Daddy.

Good to know.

I have no idea where I'm going. I'll be gone indefinitely. I won't be allowed to contact you after I get on the plane.

I know.

What if you forget me? About us. Our thing.

Not going to happen. Believe me. I couldn't.

Me either.

And I'll be freaking out about who is watching your back.

You don't have to worry about me. This is what I do.

Not without me. It's my job to keep you safe.

I can take care of myself.

I just got you Kens. I can't lose you now.

I'm going to be fine.

How am I going to eat or sleep or work or function until you return in one piece?

You'll take it one day at a time. Promise me something?

Anything.

Be there when I get back. Just wait right there for me.

I waited 4 years. I can wait some more. Do me a favour?

Anything.

Come back safe. To me.

You got it. Whatever it takes.

Okay.

Okay. How's your face?

Handsome.

Your jaw, idiot.

Sore.

Sorry.

Forgiven.

Deeks, I see the plane. This is really happening.

You good?

Yeah. You?

I'm good if you're good.

We're good?

We're great.

Granger is waiting.

Let him wait.

Not saying goodbye.

Me either.

I want to stay here with you.

I want you to stay here with me.

Don't worry Max, I'll be back. x

Don't worry Fern, I'll be waiting. x
