" What are we doing here?"
Putting the truck into park with a flick of her wrist instantly causing the engine to silence turning her attention over towards the other occupiants of the truck seeing one looking at her with shock while the other looks at her with interest concentrating on the former slowly Sarah nods her head over his shoulder.
" Finding Skynet."
Without having a chance to respond suddenly John watches his mother exit out of the truck and slowly make her way around heading towards a large house before slowly he looks over to his side to see Cameron turning her attention over towards him.
" John? Where are we?"
" The Miles residence."
Reciving a nod on reply following his mother's actions slowly John gets out of the truck making sure to leave the door open allowing Cameron to follow after him up the driveway and towards the house.
Keeping her eyes constantly moving making sure to conceal her firearm in the back of her pants quickly Cameron catches up to John seeing him staring off towards the house with a look of uncertainity in his eyes.
The very same look that could be seen in her very own as she looks around through the darkness taking everything in she sees.
And what she sees she didn't like not one bit. A large property. A large property with plenty of spots for an ambush to be set up.
Plenty of spots that could not be covered alone. A very bad sitation that could arise.
" This isn't a good idea."
" I know. Tell that to my mom though. Whenever her mind is made up about something. There's no stopping her."
Nodding her head making sure to keep her eyes glancing around her surroundings looking for even the slightest of movement reaching out gently Cameron takes his hand within her own.
" I'm not liking this. It's too quiet. This place would be high on a terminator's list of places to start searching for you.
Stay close to me inside. Something just doesn't feel right about all of this."
" Don't, I always?"
Glancing over to her side seeing John grinning at her rolling her eyes gently Cameron gives his hand a squeeze before she returns back to looking around the house.
Ignoring the conversation coming from behind her reaching out to touch the doorbell just as her finger is about to make contact bringing her hand to a mid stop taking a deep breathe reaching out Sarah closes the distance and presses down on the doorbell to instantly hear the sound of a shout coming from the other side of the door.
A shout of a young boy. A shout who she instantly knew who the owner was. Little Danny Miles. Miles's only child.
A child that as she sees him opening the door only for his face to instantly morph into total shock she has to mask her emotions seeing the resemblence between him and his lost father.
" Mom?"
Suddenly as she sees the woman that she was looking for emerging from around the corner with a smile across her face that instantly vanishes once they make eyecontact unable to speak a single word Sarah watches in total silence as Tarissa pushes Danny behind herself.
" You?"
" We need to talk about Miles, Tarissa."
" Danny go to your room. Right now."
Seeing her son giving her a nod standing before the open doorway in silence as she sees him disappearing around the corner instantly Tarissa snaps her head to look towards Sarah with an look of hatred clearly seen in her eyes.
" How dare you come here?"
" I know what they told you but it didn't happen that way."
" Get the hell out of here. Now!"
" It didn't happen that way."
Without having a chance to react as she sees Tarissa disappearing around the corner with a clear intention in her eyes quickly Sarah follows after her.
" That could have gone better."
Suppressing the urge to chuckle side stepping to the side as he ushers with his hand for her to enter first receiving an eye roll in reply without having a chance to react instantly John feels himself being gently pushed inside by Cameron hearing the close being shut behind her.
Quickly catching up to Tarissa instantly reaching out Sarah roughly grabs a hold of the woman's arm as she sees her reaching up for a nearby phone.
" I can't let you do that."
" Let go!"
" Listen to me. I didn't kill Miles. All right? I didn't do it. I would never. Miles was a hero."
" Then why are you here?"
Feeling a gentle nudge at her side glancing over towards John with a small glare across her face seeing him nodding his head at the scene letting out a sigh returning the nod slowly Cameron takes a step forward.
" We're back."
Glancing over her shoulder at the young woman standing next to who she presumed to be John instantly as she sees the young woman's eyes go from brown to blue instantly a look of shock comes across Marissa's face before slowly without saying a word she makes her way to pace slowly across the room away from Sarah.
" You told me there'd be no more machines."
Returning the gesture as she sees John looking over towards her nodding her head over her shoulder only to receieve a nod of understanding back turning on her heels slowly Cameron makes her way out of the room with him hot on her heels.
" She doesn't know anything."
" What? How do you…."
" I know. Trust me. I can read someone's facial expressions much better than you can. When, I changed my eye color she was genuinly shocked at what she had seen.
If she did know something then her eyes would have been a dead give away to me. Trust me. I would know."
" Wait? So all the times that we've ever had a conversation…."
" I've been able to tell if you were telling the truth? Yes, I did. I must say i'm very proud of you. You have never lied to me once.
Well except for the time that i asked about your father but that is forgiven given our unique circumstance."
Glancing over her shoulder as she sees John trying his best to suppress a blush that is creeping up on his face forcing back a smile slowly she turns her head back forward as she continues her trek through the house.
" Also from what i've just heard it seems that your mother has been keeping tabs on her. If anything suspecious happened she would know about it.
We're not the only ones that have been keeping secrets from each other."
Opening his mouth just as he is about to respond suddenly as he hears the sound of a dog barking John's eyes go slightly wide before he watches Cameron snap her head in the sound's direction.
" Cam?"
Listening closely to what she is hearing coming from outside as she hears the barking coming from the dog only getting louder and louder by the second snapping her head back around without giving him a chance to react reaching out Cameron grabs a hold of John's hand before with a tug she leads him back through the house to find Sarah and Tarissa having a hushed conversation that suddenly stops once they enter.
" We have to go. Now."
Receiving a nod in reply giving John's hand a tug slowly without any hesitation Cameron leads John back towards the front door leading into the house before instantly as she sees a figure making their way up the driveway with her eyes widening in a sudden motion she pushes him up against a wall and kneels down bringing him with her before ducks her head to peek around the corner.
" Cam?"
Keeping her eyes on the approaching figure slowly as she watches him get closer and closer to the entrance door with something clearly in his right hand with her eyes turning blue slowly Cameron's head tilts to the side slightly.
Targeting System: Online

Target Identification: Unknown
Scanning….
Model….T-800

Letting out a sigh slowly Cameron shakes her head before she glances over her shoulder towards John seeing him staring at her as though he was awaiting her to give him an instruction.
" I hate it when i'm right."
Hearing rushing footsteps making their way over glancing over John's shoulder seeing an approaching Sarah making her way slowly over Cameron sends her a stern look.
" And this is why you should have changed your alias."
Receiving a glare in reply snapping her head back forward as she sees the terminator coming up slowly to the front door reaching back gently Cameron pushes John further back behind her and down the wall a few feet away.
Keeping her eyes locked on the figure outside of the door suddenly as she watches the door being kicked in sending wood shards flying all across the room ducking her head back around the corner as she lets out a groan in a sudden move snapping up to her feet as she hears the sound of heavy footsteps approaching their location right as she sees the end of a gun sticking out from the corner without giving him a chance to react instantly Cameron drives her elbow down hard into the terminator's wrist causing the end of the gun to jolt downwards sending a lone round barreling into the hardwood floor before without breaking her stride grabbing a hold of his arm with a flick of her wrists instantly she sends it crashing through a nearby wall.
Not believing what he is seeing as he watches Cameron stalk after the terminator through the opening in the wall suddenly as he feels a pair of hands grabbing his arm snapping his head up instantly John feels himself being pulled away from the scene by his mother and down the hall towards a retreating Marissa.
Smashing a bigger opening through the wall for herself retracting her hand reaching down Cameron grabs a tight hold of the terminator's shirt before as though he was nothing more than a paper waist instantly she twirls around to smash him back first into a wall causing the wall to crumple slightly from impact followed by another before in a sudden move with a flick of her wrists as she sends the terminator soaring back through the air crashing through a wall back to where they once came without any hesitation she stalks her way forward.
Emerging out of the hole seeing her target making its way back to its feet stalking her way forward instantly as she sees the terminator rearing back its right fist in a sudden move leaping up Cameron drives her knee straight its its skull causing to stumble back a few feet before without giving him a chance to react rearing back she sends a well placed boot that lands clean against its chest sending it flying back first to the ground with a thud.
Rushing out the back door to the sound of the Miles's dog barking like crazy quickly manoevering around the barking canine racing around the house as fast as her legs will take her seeing the parked truck coming into view releasing a hold of her son's arm racing around to get into the driver's seat instantly as she drives the key into the iginition and twists the key bringing the truck roaring to life just as she looks to her side expecting to see her son sitting in the passenger's seat suddenly Sarah's eyes go wide when she sees John racing back the driveway and towards the house with her shotgun in his hands.
" John!?"
Ignoring his mother's call racing up the driveway just as he gets up to the steps at the bottom of the driveway suddenly as he hears the sound of glass shattering just as he looks up instantly John back pedals away and watches the terminator's body come crashing down back first to the pavement.
Pulling back the pump as he sees the terminator's head turn to look at him without any hesitation rearing back John sends a round clean into the terminator's head causing a loud clang to echo through the air as it's head jerks to the side from impact before just as he pumps another round instantly his eyes widen when he sees a boot come crashing down into the terminator's neck causing sparks to instantly fly from impact.
Staring down at the terminator's face slowly as she watches the blinking red light in its eyes fade to nothing feeling a pair of eyes watching her looking to her side slowly a small smile forms across Cameron's face when she sees John looking at her with shock with a shotgun clearly in his hands.
" My hero."
Author's Notes: Hey everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far. I have a lot of twists and turns to come for the story so stay tuned. To quickly answer some of questions asked by a few reviewers i'll do it right here.
Now first when i was writing the outline for the story, I always thought that it was a little silly that Cameron wasn't superior to the other terminators that she faced off with due to the advantages that she was given that they were. This is what i mean by that last sentence.
Even though her model is designed to be an infiltration and blending in she was given the advantage of being lighter than her enemies giving her a big speed advantage.
That being said comes to my next point. She in the show had been living with The Connors for months(don't know the exact timeline) and i have to believe that if she wanted to become a better killer then she would have studied all different fighting styles soaking up everything like a sponge in the process.
IMO when it comes to terminators and how they fight they remind me kind of like a boxer with the occasional kick here and there. In this Cameron will use the advantages given to her to get the upper hand on most terminators that she comes across using her speed as well as new fighting styles she didn't have in the show to basically "own" other terminators.
Now for Sarah. Her character will be an interesting one. She will have a lot of inner turmoil about everything that is going around her trying to basically figure out if she should listen to the voices of her past or to move on and trust what she is feeling towards everyone around her.
The story focuses on John and Cameron making Sarah the third wheel in this but she will have her moments.
I can't give away much else without giving out spoilers which i won't do.
