An Idea Forms
Kilee jumped up form the chair, the blanket feel, she had forgotten that she wasn’t dressed. Sarah grabbed John’s head and tried to turn it away. But he fought it and starred at the woman. Derek jumped up and pushed Kilee into the closet. She was about to argue with him when he said “Look in the mirror” and closed the door which had a mirror on the back of it. Kilee gasped and started pulling on clothes from inside the closet as Derek asked “What did you do?” “I built that thing. You see I had this idea of making a duplicate Kyle. I was thinking of going back before he came back, and find someone about the same height and weight and possible already dying from some illness, and have him get plastic surgery to look like Kyle.” She said this all in one breath. Derek and the others looked at each other outside the closed closet doors. Before any of them could say anything Kilee opened the door and stepped out fully dressed. Which amazed John since he knew that there was no light in the closet with the door closed to see by. Then she continued “But now I understand. I can build a machine. I could make it the same height and weight. It doesn’t have to be functional and then I could pull the real Kyle out and we could come back.” She smiled at the confused looks on everyone’s face. Then Derek asked “Why?” Kilee looked at him puzzled. “What do you mean why?” “Why have a duplicate Kyle? Why not just go back and get him, why the elaborate decoy?” “Oh!” Kilee said getting it now. “Well it’s for Sarah.” Everyone turned to look at her still sitting on the floor then back at Kilee. They all still looked confused. “Okay let’s start at the beginning of this one sided conversation that you are having in your head so that the rest of us can catch up.” Derek said and sat down in the chair. John, Cameron and Sarah sat on the bed waiting. Kilee stood by the closet door and looked at everyone. “Okay see Sarah has always assumed that Kyle died in 1984 after blowing up the terminator.” “How did you know that?” a white faced Sarah asked. “I never told anyone that.” “You told me in the future, after the bombs you found me and took care of me and you told me a lot of things like that. “But you said you were really young. How could you remember?” “She has a photographic memory she remembers everything she sees, reads, hears, everything that happens to her.” Derek said. “But we are all off topic, so Kyle dies we all knew that.” “Right! But if I do go back and save him he wouldn’t die.” A light brightened behind Cameron’s eyes “And Sarah would always wonder about him.” Everyone looked at her surprised. Then Kilee said “Right! She wouldn’t be able to raise John the way we all needed her to if she thought that Kyle was still out there somewhere.” “So you make this duplicate Kyle and then what?” Derek asked. Kilee sighed “After the real Kyle helps Sarah escape I switch them and the police find the fake Kyle and pronounce him dead.” “And then they discover he is a machine.” Sarah said. “Well I was going to make sure him, ‘it’ was incinerated but obviously the head survives some how. I will make sure that I don’t put anything useful in the head, just some basic stuff. I will put the life support stuff in the body. You know the stuff to keep the living tissue alive.” “Sounds like you have thought this through.” Derek said. “I have been thinking about this since I watched Kyle disappear into that electric field. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t wanted to go back and get him. Since coming to this time I have even studied things on the internet about 1984. I will succeed.” “The probability of this actually working has to be slim just ask Cameron.” John said. “38 percent chance of success.” Cameron said. Kilee snorted “more like one hundred percent.” The looked at the determination in her eyes and heard the conviction in her voice. Yet could she do this on just will power alone? Surprisingly Sarah stood up and walked over to Kilee and placed her hands on the younger woman’s shoulders. Looking her directly in the eyes she said “It has been 16 years for me. I have wanted to go back and save him every day. I have dreamed of the day that I would find someone with the ability to help me. But we have to be realistic and see that it may not happen. We may fail.” She said this and then tried to hug Kilee. Kilee angrily pushed her away. “You may not think that this will work. You may say what you want, but I know it works. I know that I save him.” The fire that burned behind her eyes stopped everyone. Only one person had the courage to ask “How do you know?” John said. Kilee looked into his face and said “Because I saw him.” “What!?” Derek and Sarah yelled together. “I saw Kyle. As the field was surrounding me to send me back here, I saw the older version of Derek, myself and Kyle walk up to him.” She pointed to John. With tears forming in her eyes she added “I saw him!” to Derek. He walked over and hugged her. John came over and placed his hand on Kilee’s shoulder. She turned to look at him and he placed his head on hers and said “Whatever you need just ask.” she smiled and then said “I need a place to work. Someplace I can keep the device and now the head apart to study them and work up another.” “That’s easy.” John said “The shed. Cameron and I will move everything out there today.” Kilee smiled “Sounds great. I am gonna take a shower and be out when I am done.” “So you are really going to do this?” Sarah asked. “Of course” Kilee said. Cameron had already placed the head back in the bag and was waiting at the door for John. He walked over to her but before they left Kilee said “I will need a couple of long work tables and tools.” John gave her a thumbs up and then walked out with Cameron. Sarah threw her hands up and said “I guess I’ll go make breakfast.” and walked out. Derek and Kilee watched her leave. Kilee started gathering the things she would need for her shower. Derek sat back down in the chair and watched her until she was ready to head to the bathroom. As she reached for the door handle he said “Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what?” She asked turning to face him. Hw stood up and walked toward her. “About Kyle in the future.” She shrugged and looked away “I don’t know” “He is my brother, my family, my flesh and blood don’t you think that I miss him as much as you do?” She looked back at him. “I know you do Derek. But I never told anyone what I saw. I tried to tell myself that I didn’t see what I knew I saw. But it didn’t work. I tried to give up on the idea of saving him, then Cameron of all things comes up with a way. You know how obsessed I can get over ideas. How I forget to tell people things.” He laughed and but his hands on her waist. “Yeah I know! But when is comes to Kyle please keep me up to date on everything.” She kissed him then said “I will as long as I remember.” They laughed then Derek said “You know I’m going with you right?” “What? To the shower?” she asked laughing. He shook his head “No to get Kyle.” She didn’t know what to say to this so she didn’t say anything and left to take her shower. She would really need to plan every detail of this trip, and she knew she would piss someone off. It felt good to stand under the spray of the water and imagine that it was washing away her troubles.
