Sarah gently kisses Cortez on the cheek. John thrusts a notebook computer into his book bag while Sarah approaches.

Sarah

John continues to rummage in his book bag, his hand passes over a girl's picture.

relationships. The norm.

John wads up the picture, tosses it in the trash. Sarah sees Johns programming on the screen. John, clicks the mouse on a pull-down menu, saves a copy of the program.

Sarah
I know it hurts, but the mission's our priority.
(sighs)
Did you finish my program?

John

Sarah walks to the Macintosh. She takes a CD ROM out of her Jacket pocket and puts it in the CD drive. Sarah moves a copy of the LA Times out of the way. The headlines read -- RUSSIA INVADES MIDDLE EAST; Russian Ultra-nationalists on rampage. Sarah motions the mouse to click on the picture files. The Photo Viewing program activates. Pictures of Steve appear. Cortez and the other two men watch.

Sarah
His name's Steve Ferguson. He works at Digital Integrated Industries; Cyberdynes subsidiary.
