Alison
'Wait, they are abducting Rachel? Felix and who else?' questions Cosima.
'Alison.'
'Wait, wasn't she with Rachel, being questioned or something?' Cosima's eyes narrow, there's something fishy here.
'Yeah, she took his deal.' Sarah's voice intensifies; she's clearly hiding something, something that can possibly hurt Cosima.
'Wait, how could she? She has no idea where we are what information could she possibly trade for Donnie's disappearance?'
Standing there watching the discussion Delphine drags her eyes to Sarah, again, as if she's following a Ping-Pong match, except this time the ball isn't shot back immediately and Sarah stays quiet for a few seconds.
'Well?' the scientist impatiently asks.
'She agreed to be experimented on, you know, to help with the apparent virus situation.'
'She's sick?' Cosima's voice weakens and her eyes water. A small tear runs down her face, this is one of the most emotional days Cosima's had in a while.
'No, no, she's not sick.'
A sense of relief comes through the scientist's body, but then a terrifying feeling of recognition also threatens her stability and her heart drops like rock.
'So, she's being experimented on, without even being sick? Dissected… she's being dissected.'
'Well, apparently not. She must have had this plan with Fee all along.'
Sarah turns around as if the hardest part was over and their lives were back to normal.
'What are we going to do about this?' Delphine asks while Cosima tries to settle down her emotions hanging on to one of the kitchen's stools.
''Bout what?' Sarah stares at Delphine clueless.
'They are taking Rachel.'
Sarah stares back at her as if the answer couldn't be more obvious.
'Nothing. We do nothing.'
Delphine stares at Cosima confused, as if she weren't allowed to reason with Sarah.
Cosima understands Delphine's pleading eyes 'Maybe we should think this through Sarah.' What does she mean by "nothing"?
'Maybe I have other things to think about first.'
'Like what?' asks indignant Cosima.
'Like those religious freaks that are after my sister, Cosima.'
Delphine frowns, but Cosima shoots out an understanding "Oh".
'There's someone after your sister?' the French grows angry. How could Sarah be this irresponsible?
'Yes, and we needed shelter and you helped us and now we're grateful!' Jesus, who does Delphine think she is? Heartless, cruel, fucking selfish bitch. Sarah loads Cosima's girlfriend, after all they must not forget that she used to be a monitor, she was involved with the bad guys in the first place, and there's no guarantee she still isn't.
Cosima stands, her mind still troubled by the thought of Alison being operated on just for the sake of her kids and Cosima herself. Holy watershed everything feels fucked up, sick and weirdly twisted. After finding out about the clones, she felt like there was nothing better a scientist could hope for, who wouldn't want to study real doppelgängers and cloning techniques? Now, however, all that DNA jazz seems just far away and not all something that could make her happy or hopeful for a major discovery, for the first time science just seems... complicated.
'I'm going to lie down.' She walks away through the secondary door behind the kitchen counter leaving both Sarah and Delphine alone. No matter how bad they get along there was no room for fighting in Cosima's tired and sick head.
'We have to do something.' Delphine is going to fight for Cosima whether Sarah liked it or not. Even though, this wasn't directly related to them the monitor had to know how to predict Sarah's movements.
'Look Delphine, I want Kira to know Alison's kids. Hell, I want you and Cosima to get married on a Greek coast bay. I want Felix to adopt a little Vietnamese with his future life partner and I want to go shopping with Helena without worrying if she's ever gonna attack someone because they look like a crepy noun she met on her Ukraine religious freakish school, but that's just impossible. Maybe someday I'll get my wishes right, but right now I have to protect who I love because that is all I'll ever be allowed to want.' Sarah stops for a deep breath and Delphine remains speechless. 'Come on.'
The British Goth girl moves her head towards the bedroom hallway and followed by Delphine they both travel upstairs to a small room. Inside there is a bed, a small bedside table, Helena on a chair, eating her pancakes and staring out the window, and Kira. The girl seems to be tickling something on the bed, bloody and messy blankets involve around a moving life.
'This is Tomas, Helena's son.'
Delphine looks wide-eyed to the little boy. He looks healthy, but dirty and as Kira leans in to kiss the baby he flashes a sypamthetic smile.
Alison and Felix drive silently. The road stretches through a path of tall trees and bushes, no one is following them and they're not following anyone. Fee wears a baseball cap he classifies as "penny dreadful". Alison tries to look unnoticed, her hair back on the usual ponytail and nice combed fangs, in fact her hair made it almost impossible for someone to believe the amount of trouble and agitation she had been in the past few days.
'Mom, are we there yet?' a little dark skinned girl on the back seat leans forward scratching her tired little eyes. Her brother sleeps next to her.
'No honey, just stay down and get some sleep.'
After settling her daughter and making sure she's heavily asleep, Alison feels the need to communicate with her driver after so many hours.
'You think Sarah's going to meet us?'
'No, I told her not to get involved. I don't want anything to happen to Kira.' He briefly looks at his partner. 'Are you sure you want to bring them along? I could find someone to babysit.'
'Felix, I will not leave my children alone again. I'll find a way. I'm a mother, it's something you wouldn't understand. I just don't want them to feel like something's wrong.'
'Oh my god, Alison, are you really that naïve? They already now something's going on, first they're pulled away from their father and dragged to a clinical facility where they see their mom taking shots and being tested on, then, here comes Sebastian-funny-voice guy who takes everyone away on an endless journey to a mysterious place. No, everything's most definitely not fine in their heads.'
'Sebastian?' Alison grins.
'You know, Little mermaid crab. Either way we're alone with two kids and about to do something crazy, and to make it worse you're sober.'
'It will be alright, Felix. Just a few more hours and we'll stop them from owning us.'
Felix shakes his head, then he remembers something.
'But we'll get a drink after?'
'You know I can't.'
'Yeah, apparently cloning was forbidden too.' he rolls his eyes 'Anyway, how are going to do it? We obviously need a gun or something.'
'Oh my god, Felix, are you really that naïve? I know a guy, remember?' Alison grins triumphantly. 'It's time to call Ramon.'
