Part Nine

XXX

-that next morning wasn't too bright. Well the sun wasn't shining at all that morning. John was still snoozing up above Sarah's bunk and Sarah was the first one awake, besides Terminator who barely slept at all...already sipping from her cup of cold coffee that she was too tired to warm up outside.

X

She sighed setting the cup down, and staring right into the blackness of it.

-she wanted to cry. To let those tears of pain and sadness just fall...but she didn't want to feel weak in front of her own boy.

She hated that...feeling worthless.

-2 hours later-

"Duh-nuh-nuh nuh!"

John was outside, shaking his little booty around in the dusty air, playing his air guitar while listening to the radio from inside the truck-through the open door.

Terminator watched him.

He felt his lip curve forward until it was a full smirk.

he was feeling happiness and he was quickly learning human gestures just as fast as he was learning their language and emotions.

Sarah had stepped out from the trailer and sat down right there on that one step, with a fresh cigarette between those two pale lips of hers. The dark circles under her blue eyes were becoming darker and that hole pierced through her heart and soul was getting bigger and bigger.

XX XX XX

-why was she here? Why was he here? Damnit...she knew the answers to all those questions she asked herself...she was just so used to telling herself those it was a basic thing to do. "GODDAMNIT!"

she stomped her booted foot into the dirt ground-sending a shocking jolt of pain up that one leg! "Fuck!"she cursed wildly once more and dropped her cig and crushing it hard beneath that boot.

John stared at her from afar and jogged to her.

"Mom are you alright?"he asked, knowing her so much and so much about her anger that he had already knew what to ask and say when it came down to this.

Terminator was watching from the table, in a grey tee and those leather pants. He was busy picking at his own arm, trying to figure out what is wrong with that one left arm of his-a patch of his own skin pulled backwards.

Enrique finally awoke and nearly tripped over Sarah who sat on the step of the trailer.

He apologized for the bump and was curious to what was wrong;

"lo que está mal...Sarah?"the middle-aged spaniard man asked in his spanish language, carefully finding a way passed her and stood before her with his arms at his side.

Sarah looked up at him with her eyes, and gave them a roll.

"I'm fine Enrique..."she sighed with a hint of guilt and depression in her voice that was once sexy and beautiful. Yet even demanding and strong! Enrique shrugged his shoulders and pondered off his own way-and left in his vehicle leaving behind him a trail of smokey dust.

On his way down into the nearest town, Enrique stopped at the closest Gas Station to get some food and drinks for his family and friends and finally leave. But he didn't get out of that incoming situation so easily.

"Have you seen this boy?"

Just as early evening was hitting, the sun finally appeared from between the grey clouds high above.

Sarah smiled and brushed back sweaty bangs from her face.

Sarah stood to her feet, and went to the table.

She sat down and pulled off her sweltering boots that burned her feet. John pulled off his plaid jacket and tyed it tight around his waist, leaving nothing but a sleeveless tank over his torso, and torn, tathered jeans on his legs.

Terminator found John, who was inside the trailer with Enrique's kids, struggling to share one fan.

"Ow man. It's so hot-sweating balls in here."he snickered to himself, and got up from the spring mattress from hands and knees.

"What is that?"

the Terminator asked, looking down at the fan all those kids seemed to surround with drippy faces and wet, greasey hair. John stood and put his hands on his hips standing beside the tall man. "That is a fan. It helps us cool off in the Summer time. It doesn't work all the time, but it's the best thing we have."he explained, looking up at the man beside him, and walking from the trailer with a squeek of the front door.

That evening, when everyone seemed to die down when the cool breeze rolled in, Terminator got some strange disturbance.

He had already known how long Enrique was gone, but there was something else that was still a bother. He was not alone; he can feel it. He can hear it from miles away. Something that no one on this desert land beside him can understand.

-Gas Station-

X X X

"I won't-who are you...what are you?"

the spanish man was more afraid than he has ever been-pinned to a wooden chair, with robe bound all around him, and gas spread around him that one spark or flame could set it off and they'd all be dead.

The Police Man cocked his head, and smiled tiny.

"I just want you to tell me where John Connor is."he shoved the picture of child Connor in the frightend man's face, before letting it fall out of his hand and into the urine colored gas.

"Enrique! Get away from him!"

it was Sarah Connor's voice that startled the both of them. They were both suprised!

X

Terminator was with her. Right by her side and that large weapon of his in hand.

"Step away!"

she held the shotgun pointed at the slim blond man, who seemed to listen and backed! "Where is John?"he wondered with a smile, after Terminator fired and created a massive hole into his chest.

Sarah turned to Terminator and ran off to free Enrique-

He continued to fire while Sarah managed by first attempt gotten her friend free of those tight binds and far away from the gas-but he was more beaten than she thought.

"Oh mi dios!" he cried out as he fell down from her grasp-putting one hand over his bloody knee where it hurt the most.

"Come on. We got to get you back!"

Sarah helped him back up on his feet the best he could and helped him walk towards the vehicle.

She got him inside and slid on in after-stalling and watching Terminator fight that 'thing' all himself.

Luckily Enrique's whimpers and cries of pain were there to snap her out of it.

After returning back to the trailer, Sarah ran out to tell Enrique's wife that he needed to be sent to the hospital for a checkup-before hearing that Enrique's wife was a well-trained doctor assistant. Sarah couldn't show her face up at those places anymore without going back to that insane hospital.

"Gracias...Sarah."after helping injured Enrique from the vehicle, Sarah smiled at him after hugging him friendly and letting his young wife take over with a 'thank-you' too.

"Su bienvenida-"Sarah smiled that attractive smile of hers, before grabbing John and saying goodbyes right before leaving; John was afraid. After his mother's return without the Terminator he was suprised.

"Mom. Where is Uncle Bob...isn't he suppose to be with you?"the boy slid into the passenger seat of the old rusted vehicle, waiting for her to give him a complete answer. She looked at him for a few minutes then turned to the view ahead of her.

"That is what were going to do. We have to go get him!"

XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sarah knew he could take care for himself-but ever since being with him in this time-she has developed some strange feelings for the robot that she hadn't felt in a long time.

-and she enjoyed that feeling very much.

X

John casted his stare at her with worried eyes, as she tightend her hands around the steering wheel until those fingers of hers turned a pale white.

-later-

John fallen asleep; his head against the half-open window.

She knew he'd be happy when he opens his eyes...there he was. Terminator.

XX

-but he was on the ground, and tossed back into the building.

That liguid Terminator had his hands on him-shoving him hard up against those rough surfaces...

She had to do something. He looked defenseless with his gun on the ground-she seen by the sight.

X

"Huh..."

she turned her head and set her eyes on her boy.

She kissed his forehead, and locked each door of the vehicle for John's safety.

Sarah knew this was a terrible idea. She had to do it...

...

she stepped from the car, slammed the door shut, and snuck around to the back where she lifted the back and pulled out her luggage of many weapons.

X

-he let the Terminator go, watching him fall to his hands and knees completely.

"John..."

the Police man walked his way towards Sarah and the vehicle-his eyes locked tightly on to the little body in the car.

"You stay away from HIM!"she reloaded the shotgun and fired!

XXX

She got him in the arm, watching him flail back from the harsh impact. That bullet didn't stop him...

X

Terminator got to his feet, struggling a few times and grabbed his gun:

He held it in one hand, and shot with a deafening blow.

After those few shots, John couldn't quite tell if it was his dream or if it was real. But since being with a robo-man from the future, how could someone like him tell reality from fantasy?

"M-mom?"

he shook his head of everything thing that hadn't had anything to do with his mother...looking out of the window of the driver's seat that he snuck into.

X

All he saw at that moment was that man. The man he hated...the man that would stop at nothing to get his hands on him..."John Connor."

he stated and took yet another bullet through the chest and one through the back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"GET AWAY!"

Sarah fired her defense-weapon once more, and knocked him down.

Terminator was close behind her, his arm badly scraped-part of his right cheekbone was also scraped so bad it showed the endoskeleton of his skull and those bullet holes all over in his back.

Sarah turned to find him there, and was forced to duck down by him as he shot.

X

She was terrified more than ever. She had never been that close to a bullet like that-especially the one whose firing it.

John saw what happened.

The liquid Terminator stood tall as before, those holes seeping back to the way they were, into his body.

The boy freaked and fled to the back of the vehicle to find one of Sarah's weapons in her duffle bag.

XX XX

He found a small handgun...the only type of weapon he was good with so far, and jumped out of the car's behind.

"Leave my mom ALONE!"

He ran towards the man, as the screams of his mother faded into the wind that flew passed his ears-

...

...John pulled the trigger but ended up falling himself-he was shot!
