** Sorry this update took so long. A certain couple of someone's have been uber distracting. Not that I'm complaining... I'm actually pretty freaking happy :D

Bad language, pilfering, terminator love, etc. **

"They're new. I call them Skittles. You know, like taste the rainbow?"

"Yes. The fruity candy. I am fond of it. What does that have to do with the company?"

"Sky is the limit. S-k-i-t-l. Skittle. Get it?"

Cameron and I exchanged glances. Skyisthelimit,Skynet?


Could the killer computer from the future, the one that would set off the bombs and begin a global wide war, be starting up as a company this crazy bitch was jokingly referring to as a tart hit of sugar?

Panic pounced. Its icy tongue slowly worked its way from my neck, slithering down my spine. My whole body shuddered. If not for Cameron's unflinching gaze and her reassuring half smile I might not have been able to shake it. I drew on her strength to steady myself.

"The three women representing Sky is the Limit, where are they now?" Cameron asked. Her eyes suddenly very much like a sharks. Slowly shifting back and forth, taking in every inch of the area surrounding the pool and us.

Kim shrugged. "I blew them off for you. Will you make it worth my while?" Her right hand settled on Cameron's knee.

I felt my breath catch. My fists tightened on the arm of the chair. Kim's fingers caressing the knee I'd lovingly kissed just a few hours earlier. If her hand moved any higher I wouldn't be able to control what happened next.

Cameron didn't do anything to stop Kim from touching her. In fact she placed her hand on top of Kim's and teasingly traced circles on the skin between her thumb and fingers. It was like a train wreck happening right before my eyes. I didn't want to watch but I couldn't turn away.

Sometimes I really hated being undercover. The anger flowing through my veins quickly drowned out the chill of alarm I'd been feeling moments before. I wanted to tell Cameron to stop. Even more than that I wanted to flip the table out of the way and shove Kim in the pool. She was only a foot or so from the edge. It wouldn't take much of a push.

I was so intent on watching Cameron teasing Kim and Kim reveling in her touch I didn't realize Cameron's other hand was reaching for me until she was pulling me toward her. Leaning forward her lips caught mine. A forceful display of passion I couldn't resist. Her hand fisting in my shirt, holding me in place. When I was breathless and lacking any rational thoughts her mouth slowly traced its way to my ear. "Weaver has a new plan. Follow my lead."

I nodded mutely, licking my lips. Drug or no drug, Cameron's kiss was spellbinding. I swallowed and tried to look nonchalant as I caught my breath. I had a feeling I failed miserably. I glanced at Kim. She was licking her lips too. Bitch.

Apparently Cameron's other hand had never left Kim's. She was still gently brushing her thumb across her skin. "You should come with us to our room, now. We don't need to wait until tonight. I want you now."

Kim rocketed from her seat. A thousand watt smile on her lips. "Cameron said 'we.' Did you change your mind, Sarah? Are you ready to watch me fuck your girlfriend?"

"Watch your mouth, Kim." I warned her though clenched teeth as I got up at the same time Cameron did. Cameron carefully positioned herself so she was blocking me from Kim. My heart rate accelerated. Temples throbbing from the effort it took not to order Cameron out of the way and bitch slap Kim into next week.

"We're all adults. I know you've heard the word. You're kind of hot when you're all butch, protecting your girl. If you want to watch I'll let you. If you want to join in I'll fuck you both."

That did it. I sidestepped Cameron and gave Kim a hard shove. Arms flailing every which way she pitched ass end first into the water. It felt good to see her drenched and sinking until I realized she wasn't coming up for air.

"I can't swim, Sarah." Cameron stated the obvious.

"Shit. I don't think Kim can either." I muttered before diving in. The water was chilled. Florida was hot but the pool was not. I swam toward Kim as she thrashed. How the hell did a genius with two doctorates not know how to swim I wondered while trying to dodge a scissor kick. The water slowed the momentum but it still hurt a bit when she kicked my ribs.

Lost in a desperate panic, Kim continued to struggle. I could tell she didn't know which way was up or down. She got in three more good licks before I dragged her to the surface. Her struggling continued as she gasped for air. Her head crashing backward toward mine. I moved but not quickly enough to avoid a blow to my left eye. I grabbed her and spun her. Her hazel eyes were wide and full of fear. My fist clipped her jaw, just behind the chin. With a quick snap to the side she was out in an instant.


Cameron was on her knees, cradling Kim's head in her lap. An impish glint in her eyes and a seductive smile as she gazed up at me. "Is it wrong I find you incredibly sexy when you're punching someone?"

I slowly shook my head. How had she gathered so many emotions and nuances in such a short time. Had they been there all along? Was I that blind?

"Sarah." Weaver's brogue cut through my lovesick fog. More than a hint of warning in her tone. I reluctantly turned to face her. She had on the tight Wilma Flintstone dress. This time she'd even added pearls. I just knew she'd done it on purpose.

She passed two towels and an icepack to Cameron. "Keep her as comfortable as you can. Sarah and I need to talk." Her eyes cut to me. It took everything I had not to turn and run. Menacing was an understatement. The look she gave me sent a chill racing through me which had nothing to do with my being drenched.

Weaver took my arm and dragged me to the closed and deserted tiki bar. I tried to shrug her off. Her grip tightened I'd have bruises in the morning. She shoved me onto one of the stools. Her arms going to either side of me. Locking me in place with my back against the bar top.

"What the fuck Weaver?" I clenched my knees against her stomach, trying to stop her from pressing closer. "You wanna talk, just talk. You don't have to be on top of me to do it."

"I require your undivided attention. Do I have it?"

Less said the better. a voice in my head piped up. I nodded.

"Please listen. Do not take this the wrong way." Her lips twitched in a really bad attempt at a smile. "You are the Don Quixote of this timeline. There are enemies here. There are also windmills. Patience and investigation are key to determining which is which. Sometimes a triangle is just a triangle. Sky is the Limit may not be the origin of Skynet. It could just be a coincidence."

Her words slammed me as hard as a slap. John and Derek doubted me. Cameron did too. They all voiced their opinions on my obsession with the three dots. Each of them, at various times, had given me the look that said they thought I was about as insane as the father with the axe crashing through the door in the Shining.

"Go to hell. Quixote was nuts. He fought imaginary giants. You know Skynet is real. You're a fucking product of it. How can you stand here and act like I'm crazy?"

"You are an excellent fighter, Sarah. If this were the time of knights you would rival the very best. You have fought long and hard. You are not without scars."

"Tell me something I don't know."

"Allow me to finish." she snapped. Then took a deep breath. "Hesitation and discretion can be detriments to soldiers. In battle you must make split second decisions in order to stay alive and protect others. Fate, circumstance, your strong love for your son, and your desire to save the human race have forged you into a mighty opponent. However the same qualities which make you an accomplished combatant are also your greatest weakness. Your desire to jump in head first without regard for your safety can lead to rash decisions. Look at what happened when you acted impulsively with regard to Sarkissian, Dakara Systems, and Winston."

She raised valid issues. I couldn't deny it. I sighed, forcing a nod. "If you have a point other than making me feel like crap I'd appreciate it if you'd spit it out."

"The war has not started. You need to take time to analyze situations and evidence before you act. Strategy is key at this time." She glanced back over her shoulder at Cameron and Kim as they headed toward the elevator. Cameron's arm was around her shoulders. "When Kim gets under your skin I suggest you take a step back. Breathe deeply. Count to ten. Then if necessary react. Kim is listed on your wall. Neither Skittles nor Sky is the Limit is. They may not mean anything in the grand scheme of things."

"The other side of the coin says they mean everything. Every insane aspect of this war once started off as something small and/or inconsequential. No lead can be overlooked. All perceived threats need to be treated as valid until proven otherwise. In war the presumption is danger."

Weaver gave a tight nod. "We agree to disagree. One thing we do agree on is your basement wall has led us to Kim. Our mission is to keep her safe and get her to join Zeira Corp not to try to drown her and beat her up."

I shrugged. "She's a bitch Weaver. I didn't know she couldn't swim. I just thought she might need to cool off."

"Your judgment was clouded by your affections for Cameron. Keep your emotions in check. I will step in to protect Cameron's virtue. She will nor have to have sex with Kim. If things go that far I will impersonate Cameron. Let's go make our presence known."
