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