Chapter 3 - Red Hope @ redhope.net

Sarah was relieved and raised her gun to her target. She had more focus, yet she kept sensing Cameron
at her back. She tried to ignore it and fired another missed shot. She softly cursed then turned her
temper onto the terminator. "Can you go stand over there again" She pointed to the side.
Cameron now had a hidden smirk that played at the corner of her lips. She knew what Sarah's problem
was but wouldn't say it aloud. She did as told and went over to the side but kept close to Sarah.
The college student returned to her front stance, raised her gun, and made any corrections until she was
ready. But for some reason, she took her eyes off the front sight and looked at Cameron just as she fired
the Glock.
"Shit!" Sarah yelled and walked away from her position. She came to the deck's opposite handrail,
turned, and focused her temper on the terminator. "You're not helping here."
Cameron cocked her head and calmly informed, "You're not getting worse, you're distracted."
"Yes, by you!" Sarah gave a dark glare to her teacher.
Cameron nodded once then curiously checked, "Do you expect the world to go still and let you calmly

real life there would be multiple distractions. Finally, she rolled the trigger then a smirk appeared on
her face.
Cameron watched the red apple spin then fall to the ground behind the deck. She trailed her eyes to her
student's proud features. "Good." She now started for the sliding glass door. "That's sufficient."
Sarah realized her lesson and practice were done. She switched on the safety and followed her wouldbe
protector into the cabin. She slid the door shut behind her.
Cameron came back out of her bedroom with several items in her hand. "Sit down," she told her
charge.
The college student took a seat on the left side of the sofa while Cameron took the right. She set the
gun down on the glass coffee table then noticed the items in Cameron's hands. She gawked when she
saw a wad of hundred dollar bills.
Cameron placed the items in the small space between her and Sarah. She seriously looked at Sarah,
who was obviously confused and worried now. "Not every plan is full proof," she honestly mentioned.
"I have a contingency plan if I do not return from my mission."
Sarah took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Alright."
"If I complete my mission successfully then I will come back for you and return to you to your
