Is there no current between these terminals?
Figure 1. There are two current loops, Ib and Ic. Conventional current is indicated by the direction of the arrows.

There can't be any loss in current around the base loop or around the collector loop.

At one section of the circuit - between C and B - the current flowing is Ib + Ic.

From the comments:


  The current caused by static electric does not flow in loops afaik. Like in a lightning strike. 


It's still a loop. It's the same as discharging a charged capacitor. Once charge starts to flow it's static no longer.
