the little room. It was taking so long. Too long? Who could say? How long did
"missions" take anyway?

She looked at the TV and then at Danny and Blythe. If she kept the volume
down it probably wouldn't bother them, and there might be somethingтАж Tarissa
sat on the end of the bed and tapped the remote. Sound blared from the TV and
she groped frantically for the mute button. Her heart pounding, she turned
guiltily to Danny and Blythe. The little guy turned over and uttered a muffled
protest, but didn't wake up. Blythe didn't even stir.

What kind of jerk leaves the volume on max? Tarissa thought, then answered
herself: The type who thinks that sort of thing is funny.

When she looked back the screen had cleared and there was Cyberdyne
CorporationтАж on fire. There were shattered police cars everywhere and the
strobing lights of dozens of ambulances. It was a disaster, a war zone. She
watched bodies being carried out on stretchers and she forgot to breathe.

"Where's Miles?" she asked. She heard John take a breath, and froze, screaming
silently. Miles should be on the phone, not John. John's just a kid. Don't blow up

feelings. John hadn't answered yet and the pause was getting painfully long.

"He'sтАж gone," she said, sparing the boy.

"He saved you tonight," John said firmly. "He saved Danny and Blythe and
millions of other people. You know that. You've got to remember that," his voice
pleaded.
