"Come on" Charley groaned, his hands fidgeting.

Derek had snuck into his ambulance while Charley was trying to find out whether the Connor's had been hurt in the fire. They had heard on the radio that there had been a collision and from the description, it had been the three people they were looking for. However, the trail had now gone cold and they were simply cruising around the streets, hoping to find a sign.

"So, what are you going to do when you find them?" Derek questioned.

"Do?" Charley asked.

"Join the team? Think she's gonna go with you, or let you take care of her, because it's not gonna happen. She left you at the altar for a reason" Derek explained.

"That's not what I want," Charley told him.

"Really?" Derek questioned.

"Yeah. I'm married" Charley stated.

"So, you say" Derek mumbled.

"I love my wife" Charley insisted.

"So, you say" Derek repeated, with an almost teasing tone.

"And what about you? Why are you so desperate to find them?" Charley pointed out.

"John's the future leader of the resistance, he needs-" Derek started, but Charley cut him off.

"To be protected, I know…So why when we asked who was involved in the crash, you only asked if the girl was hurt?" Charley exclaimed.

"Someone needs to look out for her" Derek said, a bitter tone to his voice.

"Sarah loves her like a daughter" Charley retorted.

"Not in the same way she loves John" Derek went on.

"What about you? Do you love those two in the same way?" Charley insisted as Derek looked uncomfortable at the question.

"I thought not" Charley stated.

"Just drive" Derek grumbled, wanting to change the subject, but this only riled Charley up more.

"Did you know Kat…in the future I mean?" Charley probed.

"No" Derek shook his head, not meeting the other man's eyes.

"I'm guessing you don't remember much from when you were shot?" Charley suggested, as Derek shook his head once again.

"I've never seen her like that before. I practically had to pull her away from you when you were unconscious. She didn't want to let go of your hand, not for a second. And from the way you were holding hers…, I'd say you felt the same. So, you're really trying to tell me you had never met her before?" Charley explained.

"It's…complicated" Derek answered.

"It always is" Charley sighed.

Kat joined Sarah in staring out of the church window that they were currently using as a sanctuary. It wasn't much but at least it meant they were off the streets. They all knew Cameron wouldn't be far behind. John had barely said two words since they had fled the house, managing to get in a car crash in their desperate attempt to get away. She could tell Sarah was more injured than she let on.

"Do you want me to take a look at your shoulder?" Kat questioned.

"It's fine," Sarah told her.

"You're clearly in a lot of pain, just let me-" Kat began, but Sarah cut her off.

"I said it's fine…I'm going to look around more, see if there's anything we can use" Sarah snapped, as she walked out of the room.

"You and your mum are like two peas in a pod" Kat shook her head, as she sat down opposite him.

"Oh, come on, are you giving me the silent treatment now too?" Kat rolled her eyes.

"Now's not the time to be sitting around talking" John retorted.

"We can't do anything yet, John. So why don't you tell me what happened with Sarkissian?" Kat suggested.

"He attacked us, he's dead now. There's nothing else to say" John said, as Kat scoffed.

"Fine, then let's talk about Cameron" Kat went on, as John flinched at her name.

"I said there's nothing else to say!" John snapped, surprising Kat.

"Look, I get it. Someone you cared about has betrayed you. It's understandable that you're upset, even in denial about it" Kat went on.

"Cameron betrayed us, everyone was right all along about her, is that what you want me to say?" John grimaced.

"Actually, I was going to say there might be a way to get her back" Kat suggested, as John's head shot up to look at her.

"What?" He frowned.

"If all that's gone wrong is a switch has flipped then there should be a way to flip the switch back, right?" Kat insisted.

"I thought you didn't like Cameron" John stated.

"I've never trusted her much, but she can protect you far better than any of us can. And she saved my life today" Kat admitted, as John's frown deepened, obviously wanting her to go on.

"When the bomb went off in the jeep, she pushed me out of the way without a split second's thought. I know she's a machine but-" Kat began, as John cut her off.

"There's something different about her" He exclaimed.

"Exactly. And I think it's important that we try to protect that" Kat went on.

"Try to protect what?" Sarah questioned, coming back into the room.

"We're going to try saving Cameron" Kat announced.

"Oh, are we now?" Sarah scoffed.

"I know that you think that killing her is the only way but-" Kat began, as Sarah shook her head.

"It is the only way! It's too dangerous! And even if it works, how long before she turns again?" Sarah pointed out.

"We can't protect John alone. We need her!" Kat exclaimed.

"He needs protection from her!" Sarah shouted.

"We're doing this mum, and you can't stop us" John growled, as he dragged Kat out of the room.

John and Kat watched anxiously from behind the curtains in the church, as Cameron walked over to the altar full of water, just as they had planned. The moment she placed her hand into it, John flipped the switch on the radio underneath the water, sending a large electric current surging through the machine. The three of them rushed forward, as John desperately cut into the back of Cameron's head to get to her chip. Things didn't go according to plan, as they realised that the screwdriver, they had obtained was the wrong size, and John wasn't strong enough to pry the metal open with a knife.

"We can't do this" Sarah shook her head, as she began to pull John away.

"She's waking up, go!" Kat gasped, as she pushed the pair up.

She spared one last look at Cameron as they rushed out of the church and saw the machine's cold eyes had opened. Sarah quickly managed to obtain a car for them, as she held the owner at knifepoint. They tried to lose the machine by going into an underpass but were shocked when they realised Cameron had caught onto their plan. Kat's eyes widened when she saw Cameron standing at the end of the underpass, making no move to get out of the way.

"Sarah, stop!" Kat shouted as they continued hurdling towards the machine.

However, it was far too late to stop, as they all braced themselves as Cameron shoved the car with her superhuman strength. Sarah couldn't regain control of the car, and soon they were flipping over, a silent scream escaping from Kat's lips before everything went dark.

"Mum? Mum?!" John exclaimed, as he shook Sarah's shoulder, sighing in relief when she opened her eyes.

His gaze quickly landed on Kat in the backseat, as he crawled over to her, finding blood pouring from her leg and head. His hands shook as he tried to stop the bleeding coming from her thigh, as he noticed that a large piece of glass had embedded itself in her skin.

"Kat? Kat, wake up!" He cried as he saw that Cameron had begun walking towards them.

"John, go. You need to go" Sarah told him.

"What?" John frowned, turning back to look at his mother.

"Go, go!" Sarah shouted as John looked back down at Kat.

"She won't wake up" He panicked, shaking Kat again.

"I'll look after her, but you need to go. Right now!" Sarah ordered, as John reluctantly began to crawl out from the wreckage.

A few moments later, Sarah was dragged out from under the car by Cameron, who quickly realised that she wouldn't be able to get John to come back by torturing his mother. Sarah had taught him better.

"Sa…Sarah?" Kat choked, her eyes flickering open.

Kat looked down to her leg, seeing the blood that was pooling beneath her, and knew it didn't look good. Her vision was already beginning to get blurry. Kat turned her head to look at Sarah, who seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"I…I'm sorry" Sarah cried, as she pushed herself up.

Kat's eyes widened, as she saw Sarah begin to limp away, and realised that she was leaving her there. Kat tried to crawl after her, but her arms were too weak, and her head was getting heavier by the second. She was going to die, she realised in a panic.

"Don't leave me…" Kat trailed off, as her eyes began to flicker close again, the darkness taking over her.
