Chapter 1312

Trigger Happy

Cam, Steve and Tom withdrew to a block away from the portal. Al and Ed joined them.

Ken, Lou, Dan and Frank were together one block over from them.

Larry, Hank, Richard and Michael joined up with each other. They were over one block on the other side from Cam.

The drones were all airborne. 'Cherry Bomb' and 'Coltan Overcast' remained close by Cam's team. They were just out of human hearing range.

Cam had a large force of Metal to work with and there was nothing she could do right now with them. She received a message from John Henry that Savannah and Cammy were still in the fight. She sent the message to all the Terminators and a cheer went up.

She wanted to act as soon as Cammy and Savannah were in the time bubble. She contacted 'Cherry Bomb' and 'Coltan Overcast' for a strike mission. They were to attack the building from the front side of the portal wall through the middle of the building and blow away the amplifiers from the backside. She did not know if it would work.

She was about to enact her plan when she was contacted directly by Young Allison. She knew this was serious by the nature of the 'eyes only' transmission from CamNet. This would delay her plan from being implemented.

Young Allison wanted Cam to act on her behalf since she was not there. It would take too long for her to come and arm the weapon.

She quickly filled Cam in on what was happening and what she planned. Cam was surprised at the aggressive boldness of Young Allison. She was not going to question the decision but she would reaffirm the nature of it.

"That is a very extreme response to what is totally unknown." Cam said.

Young Allison wanted some payback.

"I don't like what almost happened." Young Allison said. "I want to send a message."

CamNet sent out a priority announcement. Savannah and Cammy were back at the Resistance base.

Anna knew they needed immediate action at the portal.

"Cam has a plan to destroy the portal. It should be done at once." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted vengeance. Cammy and Savannah were free and the package was still a few minutes out.

The drone footage from altitude and off to the side showed the building was starting to be torn apart.

"Have Cam carry out her plan to close the portal now." Young Allison said.

If Cam could not close it, the package was still on its way.

Cammy and Savannah were safe for now back at the Resistance base.

Savannah was disorientated.

She was sprawled on the ground.

There was a time bubble in front of her on a TDE pad.

She quickly realized where she was.

There was someone still in the time bubble. It looked like it was about to dissipate.

"Cammy!" Savannah shouted.

"I will get her." John Henry said.

Savannah wondered where he came from.

She could see the figure inside of the time bubble reach for her. It was time to act.

"I have her." Savannah said.

She reached into the time bubble and took the hand that was there. She pulled hard and the figure came out and sprawled on top of her. She expected Cammy to feel heavier.

She looked up and she looked at - herself.

This did not make any sense.

"Vanna?" Savannah asked.

The time bubble dissipated.

Savannah heard a noise a few feet from her. She looked over that way.

"Cammy!" Savannah said.

Savannah was still a little disorientated.

Cammy sat up. She wondered why Vanna was there. She was naked too.

"I'm fine." Cammy said.

Vanna gave Savannah a hug.

"It is really something to save 'yourself' and then need to be saved by 'yourself'." Vanna said.

Savannah looked at John Henry.

"Notify everyone we are back safe." Savannah said.

Savannah feared they may be rescue attempts to try and get her and Cammy out. As long as everyone knew they were safe, they could deal with the portal.

John Henry sent out the word.

He came over and checked on Savannah, Vanna and Cammy. Once he was satisfied they were all in good order, he 'checked out' each one of them since he was up close to them. He took in their naked beauty.

Cammy saw what he was doing. She moved Vanna and Savannah next to each other.

"You can compare them better this way." Cammy said.

Cammy stood next to them.

"Let's make it a full house." Cammy said.

John Henry decided it was time to leave.

"I'm sorry." John Henry said. "Please make sure everything is shut down here. I need to get back to my post."

Vanna wanted him to do something on his way back.

"Stop by Riley's room and tell them it's all clear. Don't get shot either." Vanna said. "Allison is 'trigger happy'."

John Henry left. He would rather face an M4 than Cammy right now.

Vanna wanted to make sure Savannah and Cammy were at one hundred percent. They both seemed to be anyway to her.

Cammy made sure the TDE was off and there was no apparent damage.

Savannah filled Vanna in on what happened. It required the use of two TDE's working in conjunction.

Vanna shook her head in acknowledgement.

"So they needed to use the second TDE to pull you back." Vanna said. "That does sound risky."

Cammy explained what she felt happened.

"It was. The pull from the portal was too great for us to pull away." Cammy said. "It probably would have pulled us into the vortex in a few more seconds."

Savannah knew that portal was a danger.

"I want that thing destroyed." Savannah said.

Cammy did not know if it could be destroyed at this point. It was being power from 'inside' of it somehow. They may have opened up a gateway. What if they could not close it?

Savannah summed up the options.

"I need to speak with Young Allison privately at once." Savannah said.

Cammy looked at Savannah. She knew what she was thinking.

Cammy and Vanna left after Vanna collected her vest and M4.

Savannah was ready to play hardball.

CamNet already made the connection to Young Allison for Savannah.

Allison waited. The TDE powered down. She decided to take a look in the hall. As she neared the door she could hear someone coming. It was not Vanna.

They stopped at the door.

Allison backed up and raised her M4.

"They're here." Allison whispered back over her shoulder. "Get ready to take Precious and run."

Allison saw the door handle turn. She wondered why she hadn't locked it earlier.

"Allison, Savannah it's me, John Henry." John Henry said.

Allison felt Savannah come up from behind her and move in front of her. She held an M249.

"Aqua." Samantha said.

"Shark." John Henry said.

Samantha looked at Allison

"It's John Henry." Samantha said. "Go to Precious."

Allison noted that Samantha did not lower her M249. She headed into where Precious was. She heard the door open and saw it was John Henry. Samantha lowered the M249.

"You never know." Samantha said.

John Henry nodded. It reminded him of the time Sarah was going to light him up with an M60 if he did not give Cameron back her chip. The only problem back then was that he didn't have it.

"It is understandable." John Henry said.

Allison came out and stood next to Samantha as John Henry quickly explained everything to them. Allison set down her M4 and removed her vest.

Samantha took the vest and M4 and returned them to the arms locker as John Henry spoke. She returned naked and stood next to Allison. They were both naked side by side.

John Henry spent a little longer speaking with them than anticipated. He was able to take in every detail. He did note that Allison's figure was different from Cammy's in many ways now. There was even some pigmentation difference developing. He knew that was because Allison was pregnant. He saved his visual files and left.

Samantha and Allison looked at each other.

"I need a hug." Allison said.

Samantha could feel Allison shaking a little. She thought that was because of the adrenalin.

Samantha hoped she would be able to hold Savannah in her arms later on. At least she was back at the base now.

Young Allison was thrilled that Savannah called her.

They quickly greeted each other.

"I need this to be a private call." Savannah said.

Young Allison looked over at Anna and she gave her a 'finger across the throat'.

Anna pointed at her ear and nodded.

"It is." Young Allison said.

Savannah discussed the possibility of using a nuclear weapon if the portal could not be closed.

Young Allison hesitated a second before she spoke. Savannah was on the same page as her now but she'd acted alone. She believed in her decision.

"There is one on the way." Young Allison said. "I wanted to cover all the bases."

Savannah was a little surprised to hear that.

"Were you going to use it on your own?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison saw that all the other weapons were ineffective.

"I would have." Young Allison said. "I wanted to have the option to be able to use it if it was needed. It needs to be there to be able to use it. We don't know how much time we have."

Savannah was not happy with Young Allison's choice. She feared the day when Young Allison would trigger a nuclear weapon manually as she stood next to it if she'd run out of options. It was what Duplicate Cameron had done.

"I don't like you using that option." Savannah said.

Young Allison saw Savannah wanted to have that option right now. She was just ahead of the game.

"Isn't that what this call is about on your part?" Young Allison asked.

Savannah knew it was really the same thing. She called for Young Allison's input. Young Allison could not contact her when she'd decided to act on her own.

"I guess it is." Savannah said. "I'm sorry. I worry about you."

Young Allison knew Cam was attempting to close the portal now.

"Cam is going to try and close the portal." Young Allison said. "It may not work."

Savannah needed to get to where she could see things better.

"I need to get to the Command Center." Savannah said. "We can talk later."

Young Allison feared for a time that Savannah was 'gone'. She wanted to say what she almost didn't get to say.

"I love you, Savannah." Young Allison said.

Savannah acknowledged the love.

"I love you too, Allison." Savannah said. "Thank you for coming for me. I know that was your doing."

Young Allison would do everything in her power to help Savannah. She wanted to let Savannah know it was a team effort.

"I will always come for you." Young Allison said. "CamNet, Anna and John Henry helped me."

Savannah knew Cammy and her faced a close one. She also did not want Young Allison to get 'trigger happy' with the nuke before she was in position to make a better judgment.

"I will thank all of them." Savannah said. "Don't use the 'package' until we speak again in a few minutes. This is to remain between us and CamNet. I don't want the others to know, at least not yet."

Young Allison previous informed Cam because she needed her assistance.

"Earlier I asked Cam to arm it." Young Allison said. "I asked her to keep it between us."

Savannah wanted to take it a step further.

"If it is not used, we need to have everyone who saw it erase that from their memory." Savannah said. "I don't take this decision lightly."

Young Allison felt that was on her to handle.

"I will take care of that." Young Allison said. "I am the one who started the process. CamNet did ask for conformation. There was one 'check'. Cam asked for verification as well."

Savannah was pleased to hear that. CamNet and Cam would both carry out what Young Allison or her asked them to do. The conformation check was to make them think about what they were about to do one more time.

The girls expressed their love again and ended their call. Savannah headed for the Command Center.

Young Allison looked at Anna and gave her a 'thumbs up'.

Anna pointed at her screen.

"Cam has initiated the strike on the building." Anna said. "Two drones are making their run now."

Young Allison knew it would be 'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb'. They were going to seek vengeance for what almost happened to Savannah. They knew what she wanted. She wanted blood.

Sheila checked on Laura.

"Can you feel this?" Sheila asked.

Laura felt no sensation.

"Nope." Laura said.

Sheila wanted the other two females involved.

"Mary and Leticia will make the piercings now." Sheila said. "I will hold everything and make sure things are lined up."

Laura was ready.

Sheila put her two assistants to work. They were both done in just over a minute.

"That's it." Sheila said.

Laura was surprised.

"That was fast." Laura said. "I didn't feel a thing."

Ally thought they were finished here now. She wanted to didn't want this to go any further.

"I think we are done." Ally said. "We need to go."

Sheila disinfected the three girls again. That was mainly to admire her handiwork and take in the beauty that she helped accentuate. When she got to Laura she wanted to make a quick recommendation. She whispered it in Laura's ear.

Laura nodded.

Sheila collected her things.

Mary, Laura and Leticia thanked Sheila and Ally.

Sheila put her dress back on.

"You look perfect again in ten seconds." Leticia said.

Sheila smiled at them.

"Remember the care instructions I gave you and all that you should do for right now is kiss and 'look'. Everything will heal very rapidly." Sheila said. "I'll be around."

Ally ushered Sheila out.

Leticia watched as the door closed.

"Those are two smoking hot chicks. I don't think I got their names." Leticia said. "What are they?"

Mary and Laura looked at each other.

"I don't know." Mary said.

Laura shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't either." Laura said.

The mystery girls really were strangers.

Ally was very excited and Sheila seemed to be even more so.

"That was totally Hot." Ally said.

Sheila hoped the three girls had some more friends.

"I am glad I got the close ups at the end." Sheila said. "You could see they were all totally different."

Ally thought all females were anyway.

"You should know that by now." Ally said. "Everyone is different."

Sheila smiled. She could think of a few females that were identical, even if they were Metal. There is a lot of redundancy at the base.

"I know." Sheila said. "It is just different when you can actually touch everything. Maybe it was because it was something 'new'."

Sheila and Ally hurried to get back to Sheila's room. They hiked their dresses up and went up the stairway. Sheila pulled her dress up past her waist again to show off.

"As soon as we get back to your room, I have something you can touch." Ally said. "You can touch everything too even if it is not 'new'."

Sheila smiled.

"I have more sets of rings in my room." Sheila said.

Ally tried that before, several times.

"I'll pass for now." Ally said.

They exited the stairway and released their bunched up dresses.

"I hoped someone would have passed us in the stairwell." Sheila said. "They could have seen a lot."

Ally hurried to the door of the private area.

"We are both going to see a lot in about twenty seconds." Ally said.

Ally opened the door and looked back. Sheila already slipped her dress off. Ally did the same as they hurried towards Sheila's room.

They were already kissing as they tossed their dresses aside. Ally kicked off her high heels.

"I'm leaving mine on for now." Sheila said. "I like to wear them when I'm naked."

Ally looked over at the open door to Sheila's room.

"What about the door?" Ally asked.

Sheila smiled.

"Let's see what we can attract." Sheila said.

Sheila liked to have an audience. There were usually a few more participants in a good audience.

Summer watched Gail as she watched the movie. She seemed totally into it. Summer wondered if it was the first romantic movie she'd seen.

Earlier Jan wanted to watch an action movie but Summer told her the Terminators lived that lifestyle. They did not need to see more violence and destruction. They should witness a better side of life even if it was 'make believe' in a movie.

Jan got up to use the bathroom. She was a little bored so she decided to peek out into the private area to see what was happening. She saw some movement in Sheila's small room. She looked around and headed over that way from her room. She could hear there was a lot of 'sound' coming out of Sheila's room as she got closer. She moved up to the door frame and peeked one eye around the corner.

She was a little surprised at what she saw. It was nothing new for her to see but she'd never been this close before. She could see Sheila and Ally were very loving at times and aggressive other times. At this point she was pretty sure what she was going to dream about tonight. It seemed to happen more often the older she got anyway.

She turned around and hurried back to her room.

When she got there, the door was closed. It was locked. She did not have her key. How was she going to explain this one?

Kyle and Sarah were tired.

"I'm beat." Kyle said.

Sarah was in a playful mood.

"You haven't needed to do that in a long time." Sarah said with a smile and a giggle.

Kyle remembered the last time when that was very clearly. Sarah cut him off for a month when a recon he was on turned hot. That was his fault for being aggressive. He'd taken things a little further than he'd planned on. Jim took a few rounds that were meant for him. Sarah 'punished' him for risking himself when he shouldn't have. He should have withdrawn and then called in a strike force.

"Let's keep it that way." Kyle said.

Sarah wanted to do the sunrise coffee again.

"I'm going to fill out the card for tomorrow morning." Sarah said.

Kyle was still full from dinner. Derek and him needed to eat the Metal girl's entrees.

"Let's keep it simple." Kyle said.

Sarah snuggled up to him and gave him a slow soft kiss.

"That's the way I like it sometimes." Sarah said.

Kyle felt relieved. He was sure the medicine wore off by now. It was late.

Sarah moved on top of him.

"This isn't one of those times." Sarah said.

Kyle thought he could knock one off on his own.

"Start me up." Kyle said.

Sarah rotated around.

"That's a two way street." Sarah said.

It was a nice street too.

Riley was awake. She could tell Derek was asleep. She'd been riding him hard for most of the night. It was like she couldn't get enough.

She decided to check on Precious again. There hadn't been an update earlier. That worried her some but she figured the girls were sharing. She did not know about all the drama at the base.

Riley checked again and there was a picture of Precious asleep with an 'all is well' note. That made her smile. She knew she would see Precious tomorrow. This had been a wonderful vacation so far.

She felt the need to share with Derek again. She was about to wake him when she decided she was more than a little sore at this point. She was sure friction had taken it's toll.

It made her long for the comfort of a female again. She hadn't been with one for years now. It was something she often craved but fought the urge off. She decided to finish herself off as she thought of the good old days. She had a little trouble until she though about Samantha, that took her over the top.

Jesse was still not satisfied Savannah was alright. She was sure Hanna told Claire that because Claire was pregnant and she did not want to upset her. Hanna did not know Claire told her she was pregnant earlier.

Right now Claire and Hanna were deeply involved with each other. She was sure Hanna did that to take Claire's mind off of her earlier worry about Savannah. She sometimes wondered if Cameron controlled all of them through sex. It was all good so she could not complain if it was.

She got out of bed and moved toward the door. She carefully opened it and looked out. She was very surprised to see Jan peeking in Sheila's room. She wondered what Gail was doing since she was supposed to be watching Jan and Summer.

Jesse saw Jan look around and go back to her room. The door was closed. She felt bad for her. She was going to get caught out and they would know she'd been spying on Sheila.

She went back to the living room area and looked around on the counter. She found a card key. She grabbed a robe and slipped it on. She dropped the belt for it but did not know.

She headed for the door and she tried to close her robe. Maybe when she was in the light she could see how it hooked. She went out and soundlessly came up behind Jan.

"Boo!" Jesse said.

Jan jumped. She turned around and saw 'Sheila' standing behind her. She knew she was busted. She wanted to try and explain.

"I'm sorry. I only watched for a few minutes." Jan said.

Jesse realized Jan thought she was Sheila.

Jesse let the robe 'slip' open for a second so Jan could see her larger breasts.

"Oh. Hi, Jesse." Jan said.

"I was on my way to the Control Center to see Jim and I saw you standing here. You looked locked out." Jesse said. "I stopped to let you in."

Jan was worried about what she'd revealed earlier.

"About what I said…." Jan started.

Jesse moved her finger to Jan's lips.

"It'll be our secret." Jesse said. "Nobody will know."

Jan felt relieved. She'd spied on Jesse before too.

"Thanks for letting me back in the room and thanks for 'the other thing'." Jan said.

Jesse smiled.

"We all like to see and learn." Jesse said. "I'm going to go take a peek myself now before I see Jim."

Jan suppressed a giggle.

Jan went in the room and waited a few seconds. She opened the door and looked out. Jesse was at Sheila's door doing what she'd done just a few minutes ago.

She was about to let the door close when she saw Jesse move to the middle of the doorway and slip the robe off. She turned back in her direction and winked as she entered Sheila's room. The door was still open.

Jim was very pleased that Cammy and Savannah made it out of the building when everything looked so terminal earlier.

He was ready for Cam to try and close the breach with a drone strike. He hoped that was going to work. He wondered what would happen if it didn't.

Jim was distracted earlier by Ally and Sheila as they stripped in the private area. He was concerned when He saw Jan spy on them and then get locked out of her room. He was going to go let her in when Jesse showed up.

He was very pleased to see Jesse remove her robe before she entered Sheila's room. He saw her wink and thought she knew he was spying on her.

He quickly turned his attention back to the drone strike that was about to happen.

His mind still drifted anyway. He really wished he'd place the 'security cameras' in all the rooms. He would do Sheila's room first. There was always a lot of action there.
