her shoulders.
Sarah was indeed grateful. "Yeah." She worked past her sleepiness then unbuckled herself. She climbed
out of the truck and shifted her purse to her side better. She slipped her hands into her pockets and
strolled into the store with Cameron at her side.
Cameron, the terminator, entered the station first with clear intent to protect Sarah. She easily assessed
there wasn't any worries so she moved away from the door. She allowed Sarah to pass her.
"I'm going to hit the bathroom," Sarah mentioned, and she went to the small restrooms.
Cameron briefly watched her charge, but she wandered down the aisles to the coolers. She sensed that
the cashier was watching her.
Sarah indeed went to the bathroom then washed her hands. After she dried her hands, she stood there
and stared at the door. She was alone in the bathroom, and it gave her a moment to think. She just
needed to get away from her would-be protect and call the police. She didn't see any pay phone, but she
would bet the cashier would let her use the phone. Sarah could use her jujutsu to overpower Cameron,
but it was risky since Cameron had a gun.
But after some thought, Sarah came up with a plan that may work out. She set her mind to it and left
the bathroom.
Cameron stood at one aisle end, near the register. She checked, "Are you ready"
Sarah only nodded and allowed the terminator to go first. She followed Cameron outside and her heart
pounded wildly in her ears. She took her chance and jumped at Cameron's back. She got her hands on
the gun.
Cameron registered it quickly and faced the younger woman. Despite the situation, her expression was
passive.
Sarah pointed the handgun at the terminator, yet her hands visibly shook because she'd never handled a
gun in her life. She narrowed her eyes and informed, "I don't know who you are or what you think
you're doing. But you've got to be reported to the cops." She expected Cameron to either get angry or
attack her.
But instead, the terminator casually regarded Sarah then oddly asked, "Have you ever used a gun
before"
Sarah's eyes flickered to the gun then back to Cameron.
"It's hard to shoot it with the safety on."
Sarah slowly lost the color in her face at her mistake. Then it happened so fast when Cameron tore the
gun from her hand. But Sarah attempted an instant front snap punch to Cameron's face. She hadn't
expected the intense pain to her fist once it connected, and it sent her hunched forward. She clutched
her injured hand yet still tried a roundhouse kick to Cameron's lower back.
The terminator acted swiftly by catching Sarah's leg and swung Sarah around into the truck's side.
