"Where is mom?" Roger asks.

"Who are you?" Jane asks.

"Hey, I asked first," Roger said.

I turn away from the cabinet holding two plates with eggs and bacon cooked for breakfast.

"I am your uncle," I said, putting on a friendly smile holding two plates in my hands taking careful balance "Uncle Thomas Reese."

"Can I call you Uncle T?" Jane asks.

"Sure," I said.

Roger is staring at me, in shock probably. Roger and Jane had come hopping out of their room excited and so full of energy until coming to a stop right at the kitchen. I put both plates on the table. For being a Terminator Hybrid I do need to eat. I make myself a pankcake at the oven going off the cook book but ended up making a egg omelet.

"Where is our parents and Grandpa?"  Roger asks, in a more demanding voice.

I lower my head.

Apparently the twins do not know the previous Terminator has been terminated.

"They left,"  I said, in a low voice.

"Why?" Roger asks.

I had a pause lifting my head back up towards the twins.

How do I lie to a child that his parents left to protect him?
