The bag
The Bag
In the morning Kilee woke to a muffled shout and muttered swearing. Opening her eyes she saw Derek hobbling around the room holding his foot until he managed to sit on the side of the bed. Kilee couldn’t help it… she laughed. Derek glared at her “Think it’s funny do you? What the hell do you have in that bag and why is it on the floor again?” Kilee looked confused. She remembered a few weeks ago Derek complaining about her leaving the bag on the floor where he was always stumbling over it. But she also knew that she put the bag on the chair the night before. She said so to him. “Well tell that to my toe. What do you have in there? Bricks?” This confused her even more because she had explosives in there. C4, some TNT and pipe bombs, nothing real hard. As she thought about this she remembered being half awake the night before and hearing the door click shut. But she also heard John moving around a few minutes later so she didn’t think anything of it. She flung the blankets back and got up to check the bag. “Hey you might want to close the curtains first. I’m sure the kids next door live the peep show.” Kilee glared at him “They are older than John I am sure they have seen naked women by now.” “Yeah but not my naked woman.” he said pulling her to him. She laughed and the bag was forgotten as his lips touched her naked breast. An hour later Derek pulled the curtains closed then went in to shower. Kilee picked up the bag and placed it on the bed, already knowing that whatever was ion there was not what she had put there. She reached out and unzipped the bag. What poked out of it made her gasp and fall back into the chair starring at the bag. Just then Derek walked in and saw what was in the bag. “What the fuck is that?” he yelled. Tears where streaming down Kilee’s face and she sat motionless starring at the bag. It was unclear if she even heard him or had any idea that he was there. Her body was shaking with the silent sobs and she had curled herself up like a baby. She couldn’t answer him, but his shout brought John, Sarah and Cameron running. Sarah fell to her knees on the floor at what she saw. The shock and fear on her face was unbelievable. Like Kilee she curled herself up and continued to stare at the thing in the bag. It couldn’t be real! She kept thinking to her self. John had stayed by the door near Derek. When he saw what everyone was starring at his mouth fell open. His mind was screaming that it couldn’t be. It just couldn’t be there. The shock had froze him to his spot. Cameron had come up behind him and had to stand on her Tipp toes to see around the two men. When she saw what was going on she smiled. I guess they found her surprise. She thought that they would like it. Just then she scanned the room and saw their faces. Shock, horror, revulsion. Okay what had she done wrong. It was a part of them. It was something that connected them all together. Why would they look at it like that! She was confused but kept her smile in place because she didn’t know what else to do. She tried to check her programming but there was nothing listed for a situation like this, It was as bad as watching the faces of all the kids after the girl fell. Shock did funny things to a human and she scanned the humans in front of her. Kilee was starring at the bag her heart rate was erratic and she was breathing hard, but she was also crying. Sarah was rocking in a sitting position o n the floor. Her heart beat was steadier but still not normal. John’s heartbeat had slowed as he starred straight ahead. Derek’s was all over the place, First it was fast then slow then fast again. His was the worst. Cameron continued to smile and then said “I went back and took care of the vault but thought that you might want that.” Derek shoved the machine against the wall and Hissed into her face “Why the hell did you think we would want that?” Cameron looked hurt and confused. John and Sarah were still frozen in shock and Kilee was still crying in the corner. Cameron said “I don’t understand.” she did nothing to defend herself against the hurt and anger in Derek’s face. John found his voice “it can’t be! Right? I mean it’s been like 20 years he would be dust.” he mumbled on. Sarah crawled to the bed and pulled the thing out of the bag. Wires dangled from underneath it. “A machine” she whispered shocked, hurt, unsure what she was really looking at. She set the metallic head of Kyle Reese on the bed in plain view for everyone. Derek released Cameron as John knelt down and wrapped his arms around his mother. Sarah patted his arm as she starred into the blue eyes of the man she had fallen I n love with. Kilee whispered to herself. “a machine, not real, not him, just a machine.” over and over again as Derek came over and wrapped his arms and a blanket around her. He tried to get her to stop looking at it, but she only let him hold her as long as she could stare into the face of her best friend. After seeing in in the bag Derek had tried not to look at the dead face of his younger brother. In his head he was saying the same thing as Kilee. He pushed her away when he heard her say “I did it.” “What!” he shouted at her. “Why would you even think you did something like that.” he said pointing behind hi towards the bed. The others looked over at them. Kilee looked up at him and it took her a second to focus on his face. “Because I did it.” she repeated. NEXT: An Idea Forms.
