"Alexa I can't get through."

"Try Ginger then." I said and she nodded, dialling the number and sighing. "It's gone to voice mail, she's probably with Matt."

"Just leave her a message. "Ginger, this is Sarah...I'm in this sleazy bar called Stoker's on Pico but I'm too scared to leave. I'm really scared, kiddo...I think somebody's after me and I sure hope you play this soon 'cause I need you and Matt to come pick me up. The police keep transferring me around, but I'm going to try them again."

"In other words, stop fucking Matt and get your ass here now!" I snapped, Sarah sighing and moving the phone away from me. "The number here is 484-9175. Call me, kiddo. I need you. It's Stoker's on Pico. Bye." She said before hanging up and looking at me. "Shall I try the police again?"

"Yep. Go for it." I said and she nodded before trying once more, finally getting through. "...look, Lieutenant...uh, Vukovich, don't put me on hold and don't transfer me to another department." Sarah said as she held the phone between us so we could both hear. "I won't. Now just relax. Where are you?"
"Erm... Stokers on Pico."
"Yeah, I know it...on Pico. Are you alright?"
"Yes, but I don't want to leave. I think this guy's following me."
"Alright, Ms. Connor. Listen carefully. You're in a public place, you'll be safe 'til we get there. Are you with anyone?"

"My sister.""Alright well both of you stay visible. Don't go outside or in the restroom. I'll be there in a few minutes." He said and Sarah gave a small nod before hanging up, letting out a shaky breath. "Come on. We might as well sit down." I sat and we did so, Sarah nervously looking around as she tried to steady her hands which were shaking violently. "Hey calm down. We're gonna be fine." I said and she gave a small nod before looking around. Suddenly her eyes grew wide and I frowned, placing my hand over hers. "Sarah?"

"He's....looking at me..." She said and I looked up to see a man staring at her. My eyes immediately darkened and I went to stand up, glaring at him as Sarah immediately pulled me back down. "Are you insane!? He's a killer-"

"I don't give a shit. What's he gonna do in a public place-"

"Just sit down." She said, pulling me back down and I continued to glare at him, him looking away, completely uncomfortable. Suddenly he pulled out a gun and I gasped, immediately pushing her over. "Get down!" I yelled and watched as the bullet him in the arm of a rather large man that was a few feet behind us.

He was extremely tall and rather good looking, with muscles visible under his clothing and chiselled features on his face. But his gaze was blank, his eyes almost dead. Suddenly he pulled out a gun and began shooting, Sarah pulling me down with her as more guns were fired. We crawled away quickly, the man who I had been glaring at ducked behind something, me and Sarah crawling away. Suddenly someone stepped on my ankle and I let out a yelp as I was flipped over, the large man staring at me. Suddenly he grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the floor effortlessly, my eyes wide with fear as he studied for a moment, his eyes blank and expressionless. "Alexa!" Sarah yelled but the man didn't even flinch, he just continued to stare at me, barley even blinking. "Please...don't hurt me..." I whispered, my eyes wide with fear. Suddenly the man reappeared, shooting at the guy who was holding me who immediately turned, still holding me but blocking the fire, it hitting him in the back as my mouth dropped open in shock. He wasn't reacting to the shots...it was like nothing was happening. He just continued to stare at me, almost like I confused him, or he didn't know what to do with me. Suddenly Sarah grabbed him ankle and he dropped me to the ground, me groaning as he approached her. Suddenly he was shoved out the window and I looked at him with wide eyes as the man knelt down beside us, grabbing Sarah's arm. "Come with me if you want to live."

"What are you saying? He won't be getting up for a while-"

"Sarah...." I whispered, watching in horror as the man slowly got to his feet, his eyes fixated on me, cocking his head to the side as he looked at me, slowly approaching once more. "Oh my god..." She whispered and we quickly scrambled to our feet, the man grabbing onto Sarah's arm and pulling her towards the back as the man approached, me running as fast as my feet would carry me. A fire had broke out in the pub and i turned to see the man hurling chairs and tables out of his way, still staring straight at me. "Why is he looking at me?!" I screamed, the man frowning and turning back around. "Who are you?"

"Alexa Connor. This is my sister-"

"Sarah I know." He said and I frowned, looking at him. "And in answer to your question...I don't know." He said and I turned back around to see where I was running. We got into a kitchen and ran down the small aisles before I hit on a closed door, opening it and running through, the man throwing Sarah through before bolting it shut. Suddenly there was a bang from the other side, making Sarah scream as the bolt snapped in two. "There is no way in fucking hell that things human!" I yelled as Sarah grabbed onto my arm. "Just come on!" She yelled and we bolted down the corridor, flinging open another door and running out into the cool air.

I looked back behind us to see the man not too far behind, running faster and faster by the second. I looked back forward, my brown hair flowing in the wind, terror flickering in my eyes as I ran. We came to a car and the man flung the door open as we hid behind it, me panting heavily as I peaked through the window, seeing the man approach. "He doesn't quit does he?" I asked through pants, the man chuckling at me. "He's programmed not to."

"Wait...programmed to?" I asked but he didn't answer me, he just shoved us into the car, Sarah staring wide eyed as the man shot some gas which was on the floor; creating a wall of fire around the man as he glared at us, us backing down the alley and speeding off down the road. We ended up parking, me letting out a shaky breath as Sarah breathed heavily, gulping loudly. "Are you injured? Are you shot?" He asked but she didn't answer. She just tried to get out of the car but he pushed her back, me gulped as he looked at me who was sat in the back seat. "How about you?" He asked and I looked at him with wide eyes as I cleared my throat. "I'm...fine..." I whispered and he nodded, looking back at Sarah.

"Do exactly what I say. Exactly. Don't move unless I say. Don't make a sound unless I say. Do you understand?" He asked but she stayed silent, staring at him with wide eyes. "Do you understand?" He snapped, making me jump as she nodded, her eyes wide with terror. "Yes. Don't hurt me."
"I'm here to help you. Reese, Sergeant/Tech-Com, DN38416, Assigned to protect you. You've been targeted for termination." He said and I frowned, looking at him. "What do you mean?" I asked and he looked at me for a moment as Sarah shook her head, tearing up. "This is a mistake. I haven't done anything."
"No. But you will. It's very important that you live." He said and I frowned, looking at him. "I can't believe this is happening. How could than man get up after you-"
"Not a man. A Terminator. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101."
"I told you he wasn't human." I said and Reese nodded, looking at me. "You're right. He's not. You'd understand more if I said robot, but that's not completely correct-"
"A robot? What do you mean a robot?" Sarah asked, running her fingers through her hair as she looked at him, her eyes still wide with terror. "Not a robot. Cyborg. Cybernetic Organism."
"But...he was bleeding-"

"Not by much." I said and Reese nodded before looking around, gently pressing her shoulder down as we hid. "Just a second. Keep your head down." He said and we did so, me holding my breath and closing my eyes as I waited for something to happen.....
