"I know this week is overwhelming for you just like how it is for me, but you'll get through it." I signed and Zelda interpreted, "You might feel like you've loose everything, but there're still some people who love you, expressing love with words is good, but action will always speak louder, and yes, I've forgive you.".

Tears finally streamed down from his eyes after I signed that word. 'Thank you, thank you', he struggled to said that word out even he couldn't make a sound. He got off from the chair, and walked closer to knelt in front of me.

God! what the hell is he doing!? I quickly leaned down, and tried to get him to stand up. I know he don't understand ASL, but still I held his face up to make sure he's looking at me.

"Don't do that!" I signed shakily, he scared the shit out of me!

We don't understand how could she forgave him at all / After all those bad things he did to her: with words, and action, he almost rape her, and he did even killed her! how could she forgive him!?

The bad man held her tight, and sobbed on her shoulder / She rub his back as if those bad things never happen...we won't except it! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We roared at him, and tried to pull them apart /

The bad man fell to the ground, Elisa tugging us gently to calm us down as the bad man's family quickly rushed to him /

"He'll need time.", Giles said and points at us /

The bad man nodded, and mouthed "Thank you" as he was ready to leave with his family, but Elisa stopped him / He turned back to look as she rushed to get a book from the shelf, it's ASL /

"You'll need it" she signed, and hand the book to him.

He pulled a small note out from his pocket, "I hope there's a job for a disability man" he show the note and showed his hand that no longer complete...the hand that we bitten his fingers off /

"And ain't I'm a mute?" she signed with her eye brow raised, "I know you love you family and you want them to have perfect life, but love is not making everything perfect, it's accepting the flaws…ok?" she signed, and Zelda interpreted /

He nodded with a smiled and shakes hand with her, we knelt to the children's eyes level / They are so innocent and pure, it's almost impossible to believe that they're the offspring of the bad man /

We chirped friendly to them, and offered them to come closer / The bad man nodded to them, letting them know we won't harm them / The girl walked closer, and offered her hand / We used our magic to formed a water bracelet around her wrist / She smiled happily, and the boy ran closer to look / We placed our finger on his forehead, and blessed protect him with our light...he'll need it /

We looked at the bad man as his children gave us farewell hugged / We can see how much he've change, but we can't forgive him...not yet / We don't want to look at him any longer /

He was about to take his family and leave until Dimitri said "Wait!" /

"Where did you found him?" I asked, and pointed at Deus(The fish man).

Strickland walked toward a medium-sized globe, he marked the place, and showed his last note "Bring him home, they are still looking for him". Elisa, and I looked at the mark Strickland leaved on the globe before he leaved with his family, it's somewhere in Guiana Highlands...the question is...how the hell we're gonna bring him there!?

- Mr. Fleming's Office, OCCAM

I took Elisa to Occam right at working hour, and ask for resignated Mr. Fleming. He invited us inside his office, and let us sign the paper. We hand it to him after we finished, he signed approved my paper and furrowed his brows after he read Elisa's.

"Are you sure you don't want the compensation for termination? I know that your new husband is a good man but are you sure that you don't want the money at all?" he asked.

She nodded, honestly I'm on Fleming's side about this, the money is hers, she deserve it, but it's Elisa's choice, I have to right to interface.

"I will admit that not every place want to have a disable as their worker, but you accepted me, and I appreciate you for that." Fleming understood every word as she signed it out, "I'm lucky that I found this place, and I won't lie that I have cause quite a lot of trouble here. I don't want to cause you anymore burden than how I already have."

Now I understand her completely. I still remember the interrogations, extra security, and how the most horrible atmosphere making everyone's jobs harder. I won't lie that at first I was angry at her for pulling me into this with her, I wish we have an actual long talk about this before everything have gotten this far.

"Alright" He replied, and signed approved for both of us.

He took the necklace out, and handed it to Elisa. It's a plain necklace, but... it's pure silver! Elisa shook her head with her mouth hanging open as she's still holding it in her hands.

"Don't refuse, you'll need it" he said simply.

Elisa put the necklace in her bag as we're leaving the hall way. I don't think she would wear it as a jewelry, but I know it will be one of her most value possesion...the last gift from her friend. Yolanda and the team ran to us in surprise. It's not their break time obviously, and they are still in uniform with gadget.

(Author's Note - Elisa's point of view)

"Elisa!" Lucille screamed and ran to hugged me as the others were following close.

"You worried us sick, dummy" Yolanda chuckle, "Glad to see you're okay"

"Thanks" I signed as Lucille finally let go of me.

I guessed Fleming already told them I'm leaving, god! I've been working with them for 14th years! it's so I wish I never have to accept the fact that I'll never see them again

"Are you both really gonna leave?" Duane asked hopelessly, and I nodded firmly letting him know we'll be fine.

"Damn, we'll be missing your grumble Zelda" Lou said with an annoyingly kind smile.

"And your signing too." Yolanda added,

I have no idea how that gentle smile had written on my face at all...all I know that moment was Yolanda's stiff body I held. She remained frozen in surprised before she'll finally wrap her arms around me. Everyone moves to join the hug including Zelda.

I've always wanted to speak...I grew up with listening, and signing...but who knows...that someone is gonna miss my signing...I'm dumb, and that's all I've ever been...So thanks to everything that brought me here...I treasure all those moment...all of it.

Zelda and I let them go to make sure they go back to work before they get the report. We were about to leave before Duane said, "Oh! by the way, I've forgot to ask. Why are you leaving Baltimore?", and I can't say, "I need to bring the fish man I've stole back to Amazon", so I decided to joke.

"I'm Pregnant"

Giles POV.

- Room B, Loft Apartment, Orpheum Theatre.

I wrapped my last work, and addressed the book company, the same one I send "Ms. Egg & Mr. Fish". I know it's the most horrible to idea to write what happened into a book, but they wouldn't believe it's real, and it would reach them after I leave Baltimore anyway.

I separated all my stuff, and put it in boxes. Now it's only my small backpack with notebook and charcoal. I don't know what to do with so many paintings I have untill there was a knock on the door.

"Giles," Mr. Arzoumanian's voice slightly muffled by the door.

"YES?," I answered as I zipped my bag.

Mr. Arzoumanian entered the room and look around the room that almost empty if there weren't large boxes, and few paintings.

"Oh, Giles," he breathed sadly as he look around.

"I guess you have already saw Elisa's room, right?" I chuckled.

"I do, I do." He replied, "I visited her. She swept the room neat and left a note saying she gave me all her stuff to use the proceeds from selling to repair the water damage."

"Oh, then I guess maybe you can sell my paintings too!" I said and pointed at them, "I have like lots of them."

He looked at all my paintings before I realized that many of them were the creature! how am I gonna explain this to him!?

"I like them, I'm planning to move-in here with my family actually." He replied
"Great!" If someone's gonna move-in to my old room, I will be glad if it's him.

"I'll knock down the wall between yours, and Elisa's room, and turn it into a big apartment after I sell my house." He sighed, "It would be hard to start again, but it will be fine I guess."

"It will" I replied, and tapped his shoulder.

I put on my backpack, and leaved the hall to the stairs. The weather was freezing as the dawn was coming. Elisa waited for me at the van as I gave Mr. Arzoumanian farewell hug. He let go of me, and turned to look at Elisa

"Safe journey, you both" Mr. Arzoumanian said to her.

"Thank you." she signed.

They have their last hug as I wait for her in the van with the fishboy. He hissed almost as if he felt jealous, so I gently turned his head away to let him play with the kittens instead. Elisa finally let go of Mr. Arzoumanian, and got in the van. I drove away, and watch Mr. Arzoumanian waving goodbye until he was out of sight due to the distance.

Yolanda is an arse in the movie, but if I that's really gonna be the last time I see my co-work again after we work in the same place for 14 years, I think her reaction would be my reaction.

I know you guys think Strickland turns good too easy, but even he was a moron for the whole time in the earlier book, I think all he tried to do in the end was just doing his job even that job is wrong. Hoyt stated strongly that he have 36 hours to unfuck his mess or his career and life will be over, so basically he was only doing what he was commanded, and imagine you just almost lose the people who loves you the most for just a job that your boss is horrible, will the let the second chance of start again go? even you're no longer can speak?
