"You lied to me!" Sarah snapped. "Why?"

"It was for the integrity of the mission."

"Bullshit! You could have gotten us killed!"

Cameron tilted her head slightly to the side. "I will do anything to protect you and John."

"Why not Derek, huh?"

"I do not like him."

Sarah blinked in surprised. "What?"

"I do not like him," Cameron repeated, looking down at the floor. "In the future, I saw him as a comrade, but even now he still hated me. I have never owned anything, but you gave me a room and called it mine, and he entered without my permission. I do not like him."

Sarah stared wide-eyed at the terminator. "You don't like him because he went through your stuff?"

"Yes."

Sarah sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache coming on. "Fine." She glared. "Next time, do not lie."

Cameron looked at her, a genuine grin on her face. "Thank you."

Sarah shook her head and stormed out of the kitchen, mumbling something about stupid robots and their possessions.
