Chapter 11
Year: 2009
It took Malarkey, Hazel and Sarah two hours to travel to the hideout with Cameron's body. When they arrived there was nothing there at first Malarkey and Hazel were confused thinking Sarah had lied to them. However Sarah walked over to a particular area in the desert sand she grabbed a chain pulling onto it fiercely. As she did it a large metal door swung open on the ground.
Malarkey and Hazel walked over to the large hole in the ground as they looked into it they both smiled at the fact that this was in fact a hideout. Hazel walked back to the black SUV pulling Cameron's body out the back she then walked back towards the entrance the hideout.
As Hazel descended the stairs into the hideout both Malarkey and Sarah wait up top making sure no one was watching them or followed them to the hideout. As they continued to wait Sarah suddenly thought of something she turned to Malarkey.
"Did you and Hazel know Cameron before I meet you two?" Sarah asked.
Malarkey didn't look at Sarah but he replied "Yes, however Hazel and Cameron were like sisters, always around one another"
Sarah let out a weak laugh "How's that possible like...I thought you had no regards for family?" she continued.
Malarkey finally turned to look at Sarah "We can all learn to be human, the difference is some are willing to learn and others are not"
As soon as Malarkey finished his statement Hazel exited the hideout, Sarah noticed a single tear run down her cheek, she must have gotten emotional down there...over Cameron, Sarah thought to herself.
Malarkey closed and sealed the door to the hideout he then rejoined Hazel and Sarah at the car. He got into the drivers seat, Sarah next to him and Hazel in the back.
He then turned to Sarah "Me and Hazel have one more thing to do...before we go back" he said curtly Hazel not responding to what he said but she nodded curtly.
Sarah questioned them "What you mean?"
Malarkey looked forward directly out of the windshield "We're meeting an old friend"
Malarkey pulled up outside an abandoned warehouse to their left then cut the engine off. Both Malarkey and Hazel looking across the street to their right Sarah did the same trying to figure out what they were looking at. A few seconds later a group of three humans stroll by inside the warehouse she was looking at.
Hazel immediately got out of the car with two holstered 44. Magnums, she must have looted them from the hideout, Sarah thought. Sarah turns to Malarkey to see him loading a new clip into his Desert Eagle, he's about to exit the car when Sarah stops him he looks back at her confused.
"What're you doing...they're human!" she says sternly.
Malarkey shakes his head "No they're not...they're Hybrids" he exits the car.
Sarah is about to ask him what a Hybrid is until he stops her "Stay in the car...just in case" Sarah doesn't say anything she just slouches back into her chair.
Hazel and Malarkey enter the warehouse walking straight towards the Hybrids, they notice both Hazel and Malarkey the group shoulder their weapons aiming them at Hazel and Malarkey. As they get closer to the Hybrids one of them calls out to them.
"Stop where you are!"
When the two machines are at least two foot from the Hybrids, one of them lashes out at Hazel punching her to her knees she reacts front kicking the Hybrid a few steps back then draws out her dual 44. Magnums aiming them at the group of Hybrids.
Malarkey pulls out his Desert Eagle doing the same as Hazel.
"I wouldn't challenge her if I were you...she's a T-999 specifically designed by and for the Cyborg Resistance" he says sternly to the group of Hybrids.
The Hybrids hesitated at first but they were about to fire when someone behind them told them to lower their weapons. Malarkey looked to see who it was, he recognized the person. It was a man brown military shaved hair and a goatee.
"Preston" Malarkey said, he knew Preston during the years with the Cyborg Resistance and before he went back in time. Preston was one of the members of a project to create a subject which was both human and machine.
Preston didn't seem to happy to see Malarkey "Malarkey" he grunted back.
Both Hazel and Malarkey lowered their weapons too. Preston motion to Malarkey to follow him to a room where it had two chairs and a table. Hazel stayed where she was putting her dual 44. Magnums back in their holsters the majority of the Hybrids were male. A couple of them were checking her out top to bottom, she wearing a woman's tank top, military trousers and boots.
Although the Hybrids were machines inside they still experienced the usual human hormones even sexually driven hormones. She has the same physique to Cameron slim, curves but it was muscular and toned the only difference was her facial features the crimson colored pixie cut, plumped sweet face she looked sixteen.
She couldn't blame them she was probably most men's dream girl to get laid with, many a times she had teenage boys and men looking at her in flirtatious and perverted ways. But she ignored it she was here on a mission nothing more, nothing less.
Malarkey and Preston sat down at the table both looking at one another in silence not saying anything until Preston spoke up.
"Why are you here Malarkey?"
"You know why I'm here" Malarkey replied curtly.
Preston looked to the floor then back at Malarkey "I told you before I'm out"
Malarkey shakes his head in irritation "We need you and your Hybrid, Preston"
"It's pointless even the Cyborg and Human Resistance fighting together won't be enough, so I doubt the Hybrids will increase your chances" said Preston as he raised his voice he got up out of his chair about to walk out until Malarkey spoke up.
"We have Cameron's body and chip we're ready for the final step" Malarkey said slightly quicker than usual.
Preston stops then sits back in his seat "How? I thought John Connor deactivated her after the car bomb incident?"
Malarkey shook his head "No, he reactivated her..." he paused to see Preston listening intently so he carried on "...Cameron's chip is in 2027, me and Hazel hid her body in a hideout, in a secure and safe place"
Preston found this hard to believe but he play along for the time being "How do I know Skynet didn't send you? You could be leading it right to me and my group"
Malarkey started to chuckle "Preston...if Skynet sent me we'd be thumping bullets into one another"
Preston smiled, he knew Malarkey too well since he joined the Cyborg Resistance, Malarkey's understanding of humans had developed dramatically. Just by what Malarkey said he knew that Malarkey was telling the truth.
"Okay when and where do I meet you?" Preston asked.
Malarkey pulled a pen and paper from his coat pocket then wrote down the coordinates of the Cyborg Resistance safe-house. Malarkey stood up to leave until Preston spoke.
"Hey Malarkey..." Malarkey turns around to look at Preston "...it's good to be working with you again" Preston said as he smiled Malarkey returned the gesture back.
As Malarkey walked out the room then past Hazel, she followed him back to the black SUV, as she turned around one of the male Hybrids looked at her ass then whistled, she turned her head giving the guy a flirtatious smile. Malarkey looked at her confused.
"I learned it off a television series" she says giving him a sly smile.
In return he just shakes his head. Both Hazel and Malarkey get back in the black SUV then started driving off. Sarah had a few questions so she decided to ask them.
"So what was that all about?" she asked.
"We persuaded the Hybrids...or at least some of them to join us" Malarkey answered.
Sarah didn't know what a Hybrid was so she asked "What's a Hybrid?"
"It's was a project before Judgement Day, constructed by Skynet, it was making a new weapon..." Hazel paused as if disturbed by something "...it was trying to make a weapon that incorporated the consciousness of a human and physicality of a machine"
Sarah was intrigued so she pressed on with the questions "So why are they here?"
"Skynet created hundreds of them prior to Judgement Day certain it could control them, but it was wrong, the Hybrids human consciousness over came their programming chips realizing what they were and what they were doing, then they turned on Skynet" Malarkey said.
Sarah didn't continue with the questions she just sat in her seat thinking to herself, ever since meeting Kyle Reese I believed Skynet was invincible unable to be defeated, but in the last few days it seems that Skynet in matter of fact isn't powerful as I thought it was, she said to herself quietly.
Sarah looked out her window looking at the various buildings and people knowing that Los Angeles could one day be a barren wasteland of radiation after the nuclear missiles drop.
Year: 2027
Savannah, John and Hazer were in Savannah's quarters talking to one another in privacy. Hazer just mostly stood in the corner listening to John and Savannah speaking he spoke when he felt it was necessary to do so.
"John, I've been here trying to keep the Resistance in Los Angeles together, fighting against Skynet until we found you, the people need your leadership, not straight away but soon they'll need you" she said with concern.
"I told you Savannah I only came here to get Cameron, then I'm heading home with her" John replied swiftly.
Savannah rubs her head in irritation "Okay...but at least think about it while you're here, please" she said.
John sighs "Okay I'll think about it, but I'm not promising anything"
Savannah nods her head smiling slightly "Thank you" she says.
Savannah looks at Hazer then asks him a question "How's the search going for Cameron's chip?"
John looked up at Savannah then at Hazer in shock.
"Yes John, I tasked the Cyborg Resistance in locating her" she says smiling at John.
John turns to Hazer eagerly awaiting his answer. Hazer couldn't tell John about Cameron's 'condition' it'll make it worse for John, he couldn't say that Allison was needed to help Cameron because they'd most likely think he's lying and they probably wouldn't let her leave and it isn't the right time to tell Savannah everything so he simply said "We're still searching for her, but I'm sure we'll find her soon".
John just nods his head in disappointment he then looks to Savannah "What about Cameron's body?"
Savannah let out a sigh "Only your mother, Malarkey and Hazel know where they hid Cameron's body...but a few days after hiding Cameron's body they went out and never returned" she gulped to stop herself from crying she missed them especially Hazel.
John rested his head in his hands in irritation he was intrigued to know who Malarkey and Hazel but he too tired to ask so he finished off saying "Great, well we'll either have to find one of the three or just figure out the location"
John stood up to leave and so did Savannah she embraced him then stepped back patting his shoulder "Get some sleep...I'm sure you'll need it" she said smiling at him.
John nodded in response "Okay I'll see you later".
He exits Savannah's room this time Hazer doesn't follow but stays behind in Savannah's room. John continues to walk to his quarters thinking of the recent events about the Cyborg Resistance searching for Cameron's chip and his mother hiding Cameron's body for him to find. Both had a positive effect to his attitude but both came set backs, it'll take for the Cyborg Resistance to locate Cameron's chip and they didn't know the location of where his mother hid Cameron's body.
As he got closer to his quarters he noticed Allison leaning outside the door to his quarters hands behind her back, fiddling around. She spots him then gestures an unsure and nervous smile to him. John feels unsure and nervous at what's about to happen.
"Hey John!" she says giving him a shy smile.
"Umm...Hi Allison, what're up to?" he asks, trying to the best of his ability to make a convincing smile.
"Thought I'd come to see" she chuckles.
Will's Notes
You probably noticed that I have removed the Present Day and Alternate Timeline texts in this chapter (and the previous chapter) the reason why is because I made a mistake in terms of the story for the future chapters but the only I could make it work was by removing the alternate and present timelines.
I'll still have to correct some character dialogues but that'll have to wait. I hope this hasn't affected you in anyway and I hope you still enjoy the story!
