Communication between flm and cpc did was not complete causing confusion over if an uav aircraft had permission to leave one warning area for another. Major problem with the aircraft was that it was a known NORDO on departure and while flying.

Narrative:
Aircraft X is a uav that flies in our area frequently. The last couple days they have had issues with communication and rather than flying NORDO procedures they have been calling the flm desk for clearance. In this case; aircraft X wanted to transit to the A4 box. I asked the sector that aircraft X was going to; but failed to advise the sector aircraft X was leaving. Today I learned that aircraft X was filing a report as they were going to be a whiskey alert had I not given the clearance.when aircraft X goes NORDO the mission should be completed and procedures for them to land should occur. Also; I should know my airspace better to know where I was clearing aircraft X from; not just to.
