Sarah stood in front of the unnamed graves in the cemetery. She still had no idea which one held Kyle, but she knew for sure which one held the remains of Derek. She lay two roses down on the marker of the freshly dug grave. Sarah was finding it difficult to really process her feelings. Derek had become a part of her family. Her paranoia had caused her to lose faith in Derek for a bit, but in the end, he was there for her and John. He was their family.

She didn't bother looking up when she heard the sounds of people approaching her. She knew who it was.

"Seems like we have met this way before," Teresa said, there was a hint of irony to her voice. "Save that last time our roles were reversed. You brought my husband a flower then, may I return the favor?"

Sarah nodded and then looked up. teresa walked forward, holding a single flower. She looked at the tombstone and then sat the rose down.

"Who was it?"

"John's uncle. He did at the hands of a Machine. John's father is out here as well. I don't know which grave is his."

I'm sorry. I truly am." The woman turned and walked back toward where Martin stood. There was a bench that faced the graves. Teresa sat there and Sarah followed. "My son has been missing for a while now. Do they have something to do with it?"

Sarah nodded. "I believe so. I never wanted this to happen to you. I promise you, I will do whatever I can to get your son back. What I need to know is where to start looking."

"I don't know, Sarah. He was going to school. I only saw him every now and then. He didn't come home all that often. I think he was upset that I forgave you. He blamed me for what happened just as much as he blamed you. Where is your Machine? Couldn't she tell you where they are keeping my son?"

"No. She has been deactivated. She was badly damaged during a battle. I'm not sure why, but she gave her chip to another. My son is trying to find where it went. Until he gets back, she is useless to us."

"I guess that explains why you have him now. He isn't a Machine, is he?"

"No, he is a soldier. He and I are working to stop this from happening. One of our top priority is to find your son. If he's anything like his father, he could help build Skynet."

"And will my son die as well?"

"No. Enough people have died because of this war. Your son will not be added to the list."

Terrisa nodded and then pulled a paper out of her bag. "This is his apartment address. His phone number and his banking information are all there. I don't know what else I can give you. Bring my son back to me. '

"You have my word."

"No luck?" Martin asked as he sat down his box of Chinese food.

"No. Damn, this was John's area. He was always better at computers and hacking then I was." Sarah pushed the laptop away from her. She then picked up her own food and took a bit. "As soon as Ellison is back, we'll see if he can't help us out. Maybe there is a trick the FBI knows that I don't."

"When was the last time he checked in?"

"I haven't heard anything from him since we left. I guess we'll give him another day and then call. I'm sure he'll have something by then."

The noodles Sarah and picked up were cold. She sat them down in disgust and began pounding away at the computer again. She had managed to hack into Danny's University account but that had brought little useful information. The camp was in Northern California. All the account told her was that he had not answered any of his emails for three months and that he was on probation for failing his summer courses.

Sarah had all but given up again when the silent alarm was triggered. Picking up her shotgun from where it rested against the wall, Sarah made her way to the front window. She could see a dark SUV making its way down the driveway. it pulled up alongside Derek's truck and killed its engine. Not realizing she had been holding her breath, Sarah finally began breathing again when she saw Ellison step out of the SUV along with Lauren and her infant sister. Savannah ran from the other side of the vehicle and took Ellison's hand.

"Unlock the back door." Sarah muttered. "Ellison was more successful than we were."
