"You are sure that you don't want us to go with you?" Adam asked worried when he and the boys watched Emma packing the car.
"Yes", Emma said, "I have to find her alone."
"Ok. But please be careful" Adam said.
Emma gave each one a hug and said: "I will come back. With Shalimar! I promise!"
She got into the car and drove away.
She drove several days along the area Jesse told her and searched for Shalimar.
She was driving past a motel which was directly on the beach when she suddenly saw something catch her eye.
She stepped with full strength on the brake and brought the car to a stop.
She drove back and into the parking lot of the motel.
There stood the object that caught her attention? Shalimar's motorcycle.
She parked the car beside the motorcycle and stepped out.
She went to the reception of the motel.
"Good day young lady. May I help you?" the man behind the desk asked.
"Yes. My name is Emma DeLauro. I'm searching for a friend. Her name is Shalimar Fox " she said.
"Ah... beautiful, blond and brown eyes?" he asked and Emma nodded.
"You're in luck. Ms. Fox arrived yesterday and wants to leave tomorrow. She's in room No.6 " he said.
Emma thanked him and made her way to room No.6.
She knocked several times on the door but inside nothing moved.
She went back to her car in order to wait there for Shalimar's return.
Almost 2 hours later Shalimar returned form her trip.
She felt Emma's aura before she could even see her.
She was right. As she turned around the corner she could see her leaning against her car beside her motorcycle.
She breathed deeply and then walked slowly to her.
Emma could hear steps that came near. As she looked up from the floor to the noise she saw Shalimar who stood right before her.
Shalimar saw Emma and looked into her eyes and what she saw nearly broke her heart. Emma's eyes were red from the tears of fear and despair that she cried over the last day because of her.
"I'm so sorry" whispered Shalimar.
In this moment everything broke over Emma. The fear, the despair, the joy of seeing her again and rage.
But the only thing she could do to in this moment was to take Shalimar into her arms as strongly as she could. During that she began to cry.
Shalimar stood still for a moment and then put her arms around Emma. She rubbed her hands gently up and down Emmas back in order to calm her down.
After a few minutes Emma pulled away from this embrace in order to see Shalimar, to look into her eyes.
"We have to talk!" she said, pleading.
"Yes, I know " answered Shalimar.
