# Chapter 4: Highway Termination

(Los Angeles, Highway, 1: 20 AM)

LOS ANGELES HIGHWAYS - NIGHT

(Kegan's POV)

The Stranger drove us off into one of LA'S main roads, I had no idea where he was even taking us at this point. I couldn't help but to grab my scratched chest, I look back to see my friends in fear.

ASSYA

WHERE'S ELI!?-

STRANGER

He's dead. So is Melina.

JAVYN

I-...

ANYA

WHAT THE HELL, YOU DON'T TELL HER THAT!

STRANGER

I'm not going to lie to her.

ANYA

STILL! YOU DON'T-

He makes a quick turn and looks back at me.

STRANGER

Look, I'm only going to say this once. So you better listen.

KEGAN

WHA- I-I...

ANYA

Leave him al-

STRANGER

SHUT THE HELL UP, alright Kegan.

KEGAN

Y-Yes...?

STRANGER

There is a T-800 after you, it's an infiltrate unit and it was sent from the future to kill you. It actually killed you in the timeline before this one, but I saved you from this one. But this one won't stop, not until you're dead.

KEGAN

I'M SO CONF-

STRANGER

GOD DAMMIT- JUST LISTEN.

I stayed silent, obeying to his words.

STRANGER

I came from the future as well, to protect you.

BROOKE

Who are you?

STRANGER

...

As he stood there quiet, I got a good glance at his dog-tag under his jacket. It read "Robert Allen Myers."

KEGAN

R-Robbie!?

ANYA

Wait- How could he be Robbie!?

JAVYN

Wha- I'm so confused.

Assya was getting cared for by Brooke, probably sad about Eli. Poor guy.
