"I suspect no longer than two days." The terminator nodded at the kitchen area. "There's enough food<br />
for a week." She then indicated the phone again. "If I fail my mission, then you may either call 911 to<br />
get out of here or you can call Chola."<br />
"Chola" Sarah pulled up the address book and saw the second name in the book below Cameron's.<br />
"Who is she"<br />
"She is your second option," Cameron informed. "She will come here, pick you up, and take you away<br />
from this area so you can go into hiding."<br />
Sarah lowered the phone to her lap. "You trust her"<br />
The terminator hadn't expected for Sarah to ask this, but she liked the question. "Yes, and she's been<br />
well paid to do this too." She tilted her head and added, "If you do go back to Los Angeles, and you<br />
find later that the Reese Brothers are after you then you can still contact Chola. She has this cell phone<br />
number so she'll know it's you."<br />
Slowly Sarah nodded her head now that she realized she was well covered by the terminator's plans.<br />
She took a deep breath and seriously asked, "Do you think you could fail"<br />
Cameron clenched her jaw but tried to gauge how to reply. "It is difficult to say. I am far better...<br />
trained than the Reese Brothers." She saw that Sarah caught her own hesitation. "However, they could<br />
be expecting me."<br />
"And have something setup," Sarah muttered. She combed her hair back and frowned. "So, I just sit<br />
here and wait"<br />
"Yes."<br />
The college student swallowed and exchanged a look with the terminator. But her stare traveled over to<br />
the Glock on the coffee table.<br />
Cameron followed her gaze to the handgun too. "I will give you another Glock and several magazines.<br />
You must keep one handgun on you at all times until this is finished."<br />
Sarah just nodded.<br />
The terminator knew this was difficult for her charge, but she had gone through a lot of work to prepare<br />
for this moment. She reached out and gingerly turned Sarah's head to her. "You must promise me that<br />
you will remain here."<br />
Sarah dropped her eye contact.<br />
"You must promise," Cameron emphasized again. "I cannot properly perform my mission if I'm under<br />
the impression you're not safe."<br />
Sarah closed her eyes and murmured, "You went through a lot of trouble for this."<br />
The terminator carefully regarded Sarah then softly confessed, "Yes." She found green eyes on her<br />
again.<br />
"Alright," Sarah murmured, "I promise."
