Chapter 1387


Terminal Velocity


Savannah watched what the Grays were up to from the drone footage. They seemed confused.

"The Grays are in the right area but I don't think they know the specific location." Savannah said.

That seemed to be the case to Cammy.

"I think you're right." Cammy said. "Now that we know where the other group is, we can take out the Grays with a missile strike."

Savannah toyed with that idea. If they did that the anti-Metal faction would be on alert and probably shoot at anything that approached them.

"I want to try and make contact with them first." Savannah said. "I don't like that we need to keep killing Resistance fighters."

Cammy saw no repentance in the anti-Metal faction that they'd taken down so far. All of them wanted to terminate the Resistance Terminators.

"I still have to advise against this." Cammy said. "Every encounter has shown them to be violent and vindictive."

Savannah wondered about them, their own group.

"Have we been any less violent and vindictive?" Savannah asked.

Savannah knew they did not take prisoners. If they did it was worse than death. She did not agree with that either. She was willing to look the other way. That was as bad as participating. It was indirect participation. Then again, that was all done outside of the official Resistance. It was done with the Metal Resistance. The very thing the anti-Metal group hated. That was another reason to hate them.


Leticia wanted to be with 'Sue' but to be with 'Peggy and 'Barbara' was a pretty good ticket too. It was actually very sweet. She figured that 'Sue' must have wanted to be with 'Tony'. She liked the way 'Barbara' shared 'Tony'. She liked it even better that 'Barbara' was about to share with her.

She looked at her bracelet when they took their shower. It was definitely the one she saw in the jewelry store on the ship. She really wondered how Sue was able to know she wanted it and how it ended up on her wrist. It didn't really matter. It was hers now. She didn't mind 'putting out' a little to show her appreciation. That was always rewarding itself.

Mary and Laura raised a lot of questions about this group but it was clear that they were 'connected' and 'loaded'. The best part was they got her out of several jams. There were some close ones. They always seemed to show up at the last second and stop the trouble. The episode in the park looked like it was going to be a bad one. That was a little close for comfort.

Right now she was with Peggy and that was sweet. As soon as Barbara joined in it would be a little sweeter. She was a real class act.

Since Sue asked her to be with Tony, she would ask Barbara about it after they'd gone a few rounds. She intended to make the most of this first. What could be sweeter than two Hot twins?

She looked over at the night stand when Peggy repositioned herself. She sure liked that bracelet. She dug in deep on Peggy to show her approval. It pleased her the way she squirmed in response.


John Henry and Summer were advised that Cameron and a team of Metal was about to arrive near Savannah and Cammy's location. This was a surprise to both of them. CamNet kept it concealed from everyone.

"Why hasn't Cameron contacted Cammy and Savannah?" Summer asked. "This changes everything."

John Henry wondered about that too.

"I'm not sure." John Henry said. "I think she's trying not to influence Savannah's decision to try and contact the anti-Metal group."

Summer thought the team on the ground should know there were reinforcements on the way.

"I think they should know where everyone stands." Summer said. "It needs to be done now."


Young Allison and Anna received the last minute information from CamNet.

"How is Cameron going to be there in less than five minutes?" Young Allison asked. "It took some time for that to get put into play and make all that happen."

Anna checked.

"It was all set up less than two hours ago." Anna said.

Young Allison went over the timeline.

"That was not long after Savannah decided to make contact." Young Allison said. "This is disrupting Cameron and John's vacation."

Young Allison decided to get caught up on what was happening on the ship. She informed CamNet what she wanted to see.

"Don't get involved in that right now." Anna said.

That was a distraction that was unexpected. It disrupted what Young Allison was concentrating on with Savannah.

"You're right." Young Allison said. "Get me Savannah."

Anna noted the direct communication. Young Allison liked to stay in the background even if her actions were bold.

"Do you want John Henry to contact her?" Anna asked.

Young Allison was displeased what she saw happening on the ship as well as what was happening with where Savannah was. The fact that Cameron was almost there was another head shaker.

"No." Young Allison said. "I wish to speak with Savannah."


Cammy tried to talk Savannah out of going on her own again. It didn't work. Savannah was about to leave.

"There is one person of the anti-Metal faction that is isolated." Savannah said. "I will try to make contact with them."

Savannah was out of the SUV and already put her night vision on.

She received an unexpected surprise when she received a priority message from Young Allison. It must be important for Young Allison to call her right now. She hoped she was not going to try and talk her out of what she wanted to do. She felt it was important to at least try to reach out. Skynet was the real enemy. That should be the focus of their attacks.

Savannah took the call.

"Hello." Savannah said.

Pause.

"What?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"When?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"You've got to be kidding me." Savannah said.

Pause.

"Right now?" Savannah asked

Pause.

"I'll wait for Cameron." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I'm not sure." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I don't know if I want to hear it right now." Savannah said.

Pause.

"Do I?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"You've got to be kidding me." Savannah said again.

Pause.

"Do you mean that John is with Vanna right now?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"Is Allison next?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"I know that's really US." Savannah said.

Pause.

"This is all because of where I am at right now and the group we are facing." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I know John has to be protected." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I'm not there." Savannah said.

Pause.

"No. You are not." Savannah said.

Pause.

"It's not happening." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I forbid that." Savannah said.

Pause.

"No. I don't own you." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I know it will happen soon enough. It won't be now." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I don't want to talk about this." Savannah said.

Pause.

"They just jumped?" Savannah asked.

Pause.

"I have them on drone footage." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I told you I would wait for Cameron." Savannah said.

Pause.

"I love you too. Bye." Savannah said.

Savannah checked her phone to see what the Grays were doing.

"Everything is the same." Cammy said.

Savannah knew Cammy listened to her call.

"I take it you heard everything." Savannah said.

Cammy did not look at her.

"I did." Cammy said.

Cammy looked up at the dark sky as they heard a jet pass.

"Can you see them?" Savannah asked.

Cammy looked intently.

"Yes. I only see four parachutes." Cammy said. "There should be five."

Savannah wondered if someone was going to do a low altitude opening.

"Did five of them jump?" Savannah asked.

That was the information that Cammy received from CamNet.

"Yes." Cammy said.

Savannah looked up. Maybe there was a problem. She looked back at her phone.

"The Grays are on the move." Savannah said. "They have split into three groups of two."

It looked like two of the groups were headed the wrong way. The man the Grays tortured must have been able to give them some bad information.


Moments ago:

Cameron assembled the team. They were lined up and ready to go down the airstair. Lou confirmed they were ten knots above stall speed to compensate for the airstair being deployed.

CamNet would tell them when to jump based on location, speed, heading and wind direction.

Cameron received the signal and the team deployed. Bob was the first one out. Ally, Hanna and Sheila followed him. Cameron brought up the rear as she told Dan to retract the airstair. They were all two seconds apart.

They could see the objective on the ground. They planned to land a quarter mile past Savannah and Cammy and off to the side. They didn't want to pinpoint Cammy and Savannah's location if they were spotted.

Cameron observed the team maneuver into position with each other. She hurried to catch up. There been a little more turbulence than she'd expected. That was probably due to the jet wash from the three engines at the rear of the jet. She watched the jet head away as the airstair was retracted.

She was a little surprised to hear and then see a drone appear over them. It stayed off to the side a little as they glided down.

They were going to open their chutes at fifteen hundred feet.

Cameron watched as four chutes opened. Her chute did not. She did not want to hit the ground at terminal velocity.


John Henry and Summer watched the jump from the plane on drone footage. It looked like the last jumper was tumbled around by the jet wash.

"I think that's Cameron." John Henry said. "The airstair started to retract before she was off of it. That put her closer to the jet wash."

Summer was worried about that.

"The Grays have deployed." Summer said.

John Henry wondered about the direction they were going.

"Two groups are headed the wrong way." John Henry said.

That revelation made Summer worry. She redirected a drone to make a pass over that area. Maybe there was something there that they'd missed.

She looked back at the drone over the team in the air.

"There are only four parachutes open." Summer said.

John Henry checked.

"One of them has failed to open." John Henry said.

This was a new worry for both of them. It was already a low opening of the parachutes to begin with.


Young Allison watched with Anna.

"The Grays are moving." Anna said.

Young Allison watched the team that jumped.

"There are only four chutes open." Young Allison said.

Anna looked.

"The last jumper was buffeted by the jet wash." Anna said.

Young Allison already knew who it was going to be.

"Don't tell me. I bet it's Cameron." Young Allison said.

Anna remained silent.


Vanna felt too much of the past crush down on her.

"I don't think I can do this." Vanna said. "I want to but I can't."

John moved off of her and lay next to her. He still hadn't touched her yet.

This was an unexpected surprise.

"I'm sorry." John said.

Vanna didn't want John to feel bad.

"No, no it's not you. It's me." Vanna said. "I'm the one who's sorry. There's a lot weighing on me. I want to get past that and take my sexuality back. I want what is mine. I want my body back."

John lay on his side and faced Vanna. He took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. He reached over and softly touched her cheek.

"We'll do whatever you want or don't want." John said. "You're the decider."

Vanna knew that was never an option for her before. She was never given a choice. She never could say 'no'. It always happened anyway. She looked down at John and saw he was ready. She knew if he was one of the men from the future it would be inside of her right now.

"Maybe we can start out slow." Vanna said. "We didn't do any foreplay but I am excited even if I'm a little 'fearful'."

John rolled over on his back.

"I'll let you control everything." John said. "You can be on top. Do what you're comfortable with and you can stop at any time. I want you to feel comfortable with yourself. I'm good with anything one way or the other."

Vanna was determined to have her first time. She was very appreciative of how John supported her without pushing her in any way.

"I want this." Vanna said. "I want to do this."

Vanna moved over on top of John. She'd seen others and watched things on the internet. She'd never done this before this way. Her being on top was a first. They usually had her on her back or flipped her over. Sometimes she was on her knees. It was her unfortunate experience that the last two positions usually led to different additional violations sooner rather than later. That hurt even worse most of the time.

John wanted to gently prompt her.

"Do you want me to – kiss it?" John asked.

Vanna wanted that but she could tell her body was ready. Her body called to her even if her mind didn't.

"I do but I'm really ready right now." Vanna said. "I feel like I'm almost dripping. I'm really excited even if I'm hesitant."

John remembered how Riley was. She was very excite in the truck. So was he.

"That's a good thing." John said. "It should slide in real smooth. Take your time."

Vanna was filled with anticipation. She wanted this really bad.

John felt Vanna move a leg on each side of him.

She reached back with one hand and 'found him'. She scooted back a little. She knew where it needed to go.

John was very excited right now too. He really wanted this.

"Take it." John whispered. "You can always stop."

Vanna looked into his eyes as she scooted back some more and lowered herself down.

"Oh, John…." Vanna said. "I did it this time. I'm the decider."

Vanna was the master of her fate at this point.


Cameron struggled with her chute. It did not open properly. She heard the drone come closer to her. She thought it was going to maneuver under her. She was able to get her chute untangled and it deployed. She was still five hundred feet from the ground when it opened. Her decent rapidly slowed. At least she would not hit the ground at terminal velocity. To know the drone was there to assist her was a welcome relief too.

She was now the one closest to the ground and would be the first one to land. She glided in a little and landed on her feet in a run. She slowed and dumped her chute. She remained upright. The others all landed about fifty to sixty feet around her in a circle so they didn't foul each other.

Bob would collect the chutes and secure them for everyone.

The Metal girls all checked on Cameron to make sure she was OK.

"I'm fine." Cameron said.

Cameron led the Metal girls at a run towards Savannah and Cammy. They arrive in less than a minute.


Cammy watched all of them come down even if she could not see them land. It was on the other side of a few small trees.

"They all made it." Cammy said.

Savannah was relieved to hear that. She was even more relieved when Cameron, Ally, Hanna and Sheila joined them. She was a little worried there were only four of them.

"Where's Bob?" Savannah asked.

Cameron did not want Savannah to worry.

"He will be here shortly." Cameron said. "He's policing the landing zone."

Savannah expected Cameron to take over the operation.

"How do you want to play it?" Savannah asked.

Cameron wanted Savannah to make the decisions.

"We are here to back you up." Cameron said. "This is Cammy's and your operation."

Savannah was not sure if she liked that idea. Cameron previously allowed her to make the calls before. She knew Cameron wanted to be in control. It showed the two respected each other and trusted the other's ability and judgment.

"There's one isolated individual." Savannah said. "I want to try and make contact with them."

Cameron felt this was a mistake.

"These people can't be bargained with." Cameron said.

Savannah understood that.

"I want to try." Savannah said. "I will need to deal with this group in the future. I don't want lives wasted if it can be prevented."

Cameron knew that was one of the reasons Future John was targeted for assassination. He'd 'spent' too many lives. Savannah knew that too. She understood the dilemma even if she did not agree to the resolution.

Bob joined them.

"I've been waiting for you." Cammy said.

The Metal girls all giggled.

Bob looked at the Metal girls.

"That's my line." Bob said.

Ally and Hanna moved out to their flanks to make sure there were no surprises. They were covered by the drones but there could always be someone hidden.

Savannah quickly reviewed what was happening. There were two teams of Grays headed in the opposite direction and one team approached the anti-Metal group from the front and off to the far side.

There were still only a half dozen of the anti-Metal faction spotted. They seemed to be semi-alert but not on a high alert. They probably missed a clandestine check in by the man the Grays tortured and killed. They had a guard system set up but it did not look like they took it seriously.

John Henry came through with an update.

"We are advising you we don't know who the other group is yet." John Henry said. "They could be anyone."

Cameron heard the reference to 'we'.

"Do you mean CamNet?" Cameron asked.

There was a slight pause.

"No." John Henry said. "Summer is here with me. It is her concern. She wants to stress that we don't know for sure who is there. The anti-Metal operative could have set the Grays up with another group of Grays or the Fanatics."

Cameron was aware Summer was with John Henry. She was pleased with her concern and willingness to speak up. She also liked how she took Claire out of the picture.

Bob knew from his dealings with Summer that she was very prophetic.

"That's advice we need to consider." Bob said.

Savannah knew that was true. When she made contact she would find out soon enough if they were the Fanatics. She was originally going to approach the position alone. Now that there were others here she would try a new approach.

"I want Sheila to come with me." Savannah said.

Cammy expected to go with Savannah. She was a little upset when she wasn't selected.

"Cammy and I will back you up." Cameron said.

Savannah looked at Cameron for a moment.

"That's fine." Savannah said. "I need you to hang back a little at first."

Sheila knew why she was selected.

"I take it I get to play Future Jesse if the need arises." Sheila said.

Savannah thought it could be insurance if it was the anti-Metal faction. It may cause some hesitation if they went to shoot her. Sheila was not part of her original plan before but now she was here. She would never endanger Jesse to play Future Jesse. She did not like endangering Sheila either.

Savannah took Cameron off to the side.

"You need to alert Hanna that if any of these people are really Fanatics that they may have extreme reactions in any encounters with her." Savannah said. "Pair Hanna up with Ally and Bob can cover the position one of them was going to cover."

Cameron knew that Hanna and Ally would represent the 'Redheaded Witch' and the 'Good Skynet' as a pair. She would really like to take Sheila's place next to Savannah when they advanced.

Savannah watched as Cameron made the changes.

"We're going to be right in back of you." Cammy said.

The battlefield was still off a little to Savannah. It really seemed that something was missing. She checked for any updates on where the other two teams of Grays were headed.


Young Allison did not like the changes even if she welcomed the assistance. Everything Savannah planned was being altered.

"This changes the whole dynamic of the operation." Young Allison said.

Anna thought they could always use the drones.

"You have the option to take everyone down before this starts." Anna said.

Young Allison would act if she thought it was prudent.

"I haven't ruled out that option yet." Young Allison said.

She could kill everyone on the ground that was not from their group with the drones. CamNet reassured her every drone was in position and ready to act in an instant.


Holly was with Laura first and very pleased with the experience. She was currently with Mary now. She'd switched with Gail-Cam a short time ago. These girls were different than their girls. They were both more aggressive and then very submissive at times. She liked the jewelry on both of them. It enhanced their beauty and made them more desirable. She looked forward to going into the adjoining suite with Leticia next. Right now Allison and Cam-Gail were still in there.


Allison turned Leticia over to Cam-Gail. She knew that Leticia was in for a wild ride right now. She was about to receive the 'full Metal treatment'. She was not going to know what 'hit' her.

She looked in the large closet and found a plush robe. She slipped that on and headed for the private area. She didn't feel like getting dressed. She wanted to check on Vanna. As she approached the private area the door opened and Jim was there.

"Hi." Allison said. "How's Vanna doing?"

Jim only listened a little since he took back over his duties in the Control Center.

"I really don't know." Jim said. "I can let you in if you want to check on her. Your card key will open the door as well."

Allison was not sure about that. Maybe it was too private of a moment to impose on. She would not want that when it was her turn. She was really warmed up right now and ready to go. She was a little apprehensive about being with John but it was time it finally happened. They both cared about each other and loved each other. They weren't out to 'run off' together and Cameron leaned pretty hard on her again. She did not want Mary, Laura or Leticia in there. She'd just been with Leticia and she was a real number in bed. She felt at a disadvantage. She was inexperience at being with a man and the three girls from the ship were not. They really knew their way around the bedroom.

Allison followed Jim into the Control Center. She went over to the pass door that entered the Owner's Suite and listened. She didn't hear anything.

She was not sure how long everything would take. All of her experiences hadn't lasted long. They'd been as short as thirty seconds to maybe around three minutes. All those people were after their own gratification and she was merely the receptacle to get that done. She'd talked with Jesse and even her mother about it. Her mother was very dissatisfied being with a male because none of them ever satisfied her. She was surprised to hear her mother admit to her the abuse she suffered in high school at alcohol and drug related parties. She was actually passed out when she was first taken and awoke half way through what was happening. His friend went next before she was really aware what happened. By then both the boys were gone. She didn't even know who they were. She didn't tell anyone and was glad a week or so later to find out she was not pregnant.

"Are you OK?" Jim asked.

Allison looked around.

"I'm fine." Allison said.

Jim thought that sounded like Cameron.

Allison thought about opening the pass door and listening. She was sure Jim would understand.

"She's out." Jim said.

Allison was not sure what that meant.

"Who's out?" Allison asked.

Jim pointed at the screen.

"Vanna is." Jim said.

Allison wanted to go to her.

They watched as she faced the door to the Owner's Suite. She leaned back in. Maybe she just kissed John. She couldn't tell.

She was even more surprised to see Gail-Cam enter the private area. Vanna turned away from the Owner's Suite door and it closed. She ran into Gail-Cam's arms. Gail-Cam held her and then picked her up. She thought maybe Vanna was crying. She wasn't sure.

"I'd better go." Allison said.

As soon as she said that the pass door opened from the Owner's Suite.

John spoke as he entered.

"Hey, Jim, can you tell me where…" John asked and stopped in mid sentence when he entered the room and spotted Allison.

Jim looked at Allison and then at John.

"She's in the Control Center." Jim said.

John and Allison looked at each other. She only wore the robe and he only wore his undershorts.

"Hi, Allison." John said.

"Hi, John." Allison said.

John looked at Jim and then back at Allison.

"Would you like to come inside?" John asked.

Allison smiled. She moved forward and hugged John.

"I was just about to ask you that." Allison whispered in his ear. "I'm already pregnant with your baby."

Allison looked at the screen where Vanna and Gail-Cam were earlier. They were gone now.

John led her through the pass door.

Allison thought she needed to clean up some.

"I want to freshen up a little." Allison said.

She headed for the bathroom.

John rushed back to the Control Center.

"Hey, Jim, can you tell me where Cameron is at?" John asked.

Jim did not think that was a good idea at this time.

"She's keeping herself busy." Jim said. "She asked not to be disturbed for a few hours."

John looked around the Control Center.

"Oh." John said and went back into the Owner's Suite.

He was back at the dressing room when Allison emerged from the bathroom in front of him.

"That didn't take long." John said.

Allison smiled.

"I guess I'm about to find out." Allison said.

She moved forward and hugged John. Her robe was open. She was ready for this. All her lady parts were able to respond as intended. They were all doing that right now in anticipation. Tonight was the night and she was ready. She hoped to see what it was really like to make love to someone of the opposite sex. This was long overdue.
