Chapter 2 - Red Hope @ redhope.net

Sarah followed her protector yet was busying taking in her surroundings. She spotted a small shed set
off to the right.
Cameron unlocked the front door but quickly hit the truck's remote so it'd lock. She then slid the front
glass door open and passed through it.
Sarah followed the terminator in and immediately entered the kitchen. She looked for the light switch
and flipped a few up. She took in the fully furnished cabin.
"This way," Cameron instructed. She guided the college student to the bedrooms and offered, "Take
either one."
Sarah decided on the master bedroom that had a private bath with it. She put the black duffel bag on the
bed and curiously looked from it to Cameron.
The terminator saw the silent question on Sarah's face. "You will find clothes and other items you need
for the next few days." She said nothing else and left the doorway. She took the neighboring bedroom
that also had a queen size bed.
"Next few days" Sarah softly repeated in worry. She unzipped the bag and indeed found clothes plus
new toiletries like soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and so on. Without a doubt, Cameron had made very
detailed plans for this mission. But what bothered Sarah was the fact that the clothes were the right size
for her and accurately fit her taste.
Sarah worriedly stared at the open bag and breathed hard a few times. She then sensed Cameron at the
door again so she looked at her.
Cameron said nothing but indicated the Ziplock of ice. She neared the college student and handed her
the ice pack. "You should rest... we have to be up early tomorrow."
Sarah combed her back her wavy hair and nervously studied the terminator. "You know a lot about me,
don't you"
Cameron tilted her head to one side and carefully considered the question. She finally replied, "I know
facts about you." She left it there and exited the bedroom.
Sarah fooled with the ice pack but sat down and put it on her left hand. She remained there for several
minutes and tried to understand what'd happened since she left work tonight. After a fast glance at the
alarm clock on the nightstand, she realized it was just after five o'clock. She did need some sleep
despite she had no clue what Cameron had in mind for the morning.
Sarah set the ice pack aside then shut the bedroom door. She'd seen sleepwear in the bag so she
retrieved it and prepared for bed. Shortly, Sarah got into bed and turned off the overhead light. She kept
the ice pack on her hand for awhile longer and allowed her brain to decompress. It wasn't long before
sleep came for her so she put the ice pack on the nightstand. Her last conscious thought was hearing the
television outside her bedroom door in the living room. But it didn't matter as she slipped away into her
dreams.
