Holly sat in the backseat lost in thought as they drove down the long highway. If the machines sent a machine back to kill her sister then they had no idea where it would be. And the machine now had no way to track down Sarah because the Guardian has taken her off the grid for so long. They could literally chase each other all over the country and never find each other.
"I have an idea," Holly said, not even realizing she'd said it outloud.
Sarah turned back to look at her sister, "What's up?"
Holly slunk down in her seat a little having all these eyes on her, "Well, Sarah isn't on the grid except for her past and you can't know exactly where this machine was sent to show up. So, I was just thinking if they look you up, they'll find me and go after me like Kyle said. What if we went back to my work and waited for him to come to us?" she explained, trying to make her voice sound more confident as she spoke.
Sarah looked to the machine for approval, "What do you think?" she asked.
He turned looking at her through his sunglasses, "It'll work," he stated as he spun the wheel turning them around to head back to the hospital.
They ride seemed shorter as they pulled up in front of the building. "You guys can just sit in my office with me because there's no one around," Holly stated as she got out of the car feeling more comfortable than she had out on the road.
"Holly, I've missed you so much and I'm so glad that he let me come find you," Sarah said as everyone sat down, except the Guardian who stared out the small window in her office.
Holly nodded, "Me too but I wish it hadn't taken ten years. I searched so much for you and eventually I guess I just lost hope. But when we survive whatever is going on here we will never be apart again. Promise?" she asked, looking at her sister. Sarah had grown up so much.
Sarah wrapped her arms around Holly, "I promise," she stated.
Holly looked at her sister now that she had a chance. She was so tough and dressed like a biker. Holly would never have imagined her girly sister holding a gun and being so strong. "What's Kyle's purpose if you have him?" Holly asked pointing to Guardian.
"Apparently, he was my only protection before and they sent him back thinking that but he didn't know I already had someone. He's been helpful though and he has faced the war which makes him a valuable asset facing these machines."
Holly nodded, "What's our plan when the other one like him shows up? No offense but he looks worn and this one will be fresh."
The Guardian turned to look at Holly, "I may be an aging Terminator but I am the strongest in this group and none of you are a match for him. I'll go ahead of you all and kill him then I am to be destroyed."
"Why do we have to destroy you?" Holly asked, thinking of the fact that he's been around all this time.
"There can not be any fragments of this technology remaining. If someone got a hold of it everything we're doing would be undone," Guardian replied, turning back to the window.
"Holly Connor, please report to the patient pick up area. There's two men here to see you," a voice said over the paging system.
"Two men?" Sarah asked, her tone surprised.
Guardian looked at Holly, "You take them to the car and pull around to the pickup area to get me but I'm going down there alone."
Kyle piped up for the first time since they'd changed the plan, "I'll go with you. This isn't my first fight."
Sarah nodded, "I'm going too. I can face anything. You trained me yourself," she argued.
The Guardian shook his head, "No, you will go with your sister. If things don't look good when you reach us then you leave and we'll find you."
Holly nodded taking her sister's hand and guiding her away.
