Chapter 1390


Free Advice


Savannah flew the Iroquois up the coast. She paralleled the 101 highway. It gave her a good reference point. She was a little hungry but there hadn't been a lot of free time to snack on much. She was glad she was able to use the restroom in Cameron's hanger before they'd departed. She noted the bathroom was clean and there was no dust on the toilet seat. CamNet must have 'heard' her mention that to Young Allison when they were there before.

She was a little tired. She would not mind a 'good nights' sleep one of these nights. Everything had been non stop action for the last few weeks, especially this last week. She needed to spend some more time with Young Allison and see CamNet again.

"I can take over if you want to rest." Cammy said.

Savannah glanced over. She felt that if she rested now she was going to be sleepy later on even more so. It was better to just stick with it and push on through.

"I'm good." Savannah said. "If the LZ is dark I'll let you land it."

Cammy nodded.

"Tell me what you want and when." Cammy said.

Savannah's mind drifted a little as she flew. What was this operation going to turn out to be? They still didn't have a fix on the location for the destination. They currently tracked three vehicles of suspected Grays to what they hoped would be the contents of two boxcars worth of HK equipment that had been unloaded at some point.

Savannah checked her instruments and continued to follow the 101 highway. She was glad there wasn't any coastal fog to obscure her view of the 101. The constant thump if the Huey was somewhat reassuring. Their destination was not. It looked like it was going to be another long night.


Cameron flew the 727 to the Bay Area. She'd resisted the urge to do any aerobatics in the jet on the way back. Without a load the 727 was very responsive on all the controls and acceleration. They neared the airport. The Blackhawk waited to ferry them into the city. Frank would pick them up from the LZ in the van and drive them to the ship. John should have 'been with' both Vanna and Allison at this point. She was comfortable with that. It did not bother her anymore. The girls weren't here to 'steal' John away from her. They were all about sharing the love, not trying to take it. John needed to be protected. What those men said still bothered her. She'd heard that kind of talk before.

She thought about checking in with Jim to find out what she could. If Vanna and Allison backed out of it, the Metal girls would cycle the three girls from the ship through the Owner's Suite. What she heard tonight confirmed her worst fears as to what awaited John and maybe even her from the anti-Metal faction. They seemed to be a growing threat.

She started the landing procedure. They would be wheels down soon enough. She would be at the ship in a very short time. Maybe she should have brought Cammy and Samantha with her. She planned to use their chassis too. John would have a crack at two more virgin chassis with her in control soon enough. She smiled to herself as she thought of it. She was going to be a virgin for John two more times.

"Watch your air speed." Lou said.

Cameron cut the power back some more. She'd been coming in pretty hot.

"Thanks." Cameron said as she smiled at Lou.

It was time to land the plane. She could worry about what the future would bring later on. She smiled to herself again. So far it was a very beautiful honeymoon for John and her. Everything about it pleased her.


Frank received word he would need to pick the team up at the helicopter LZ in a short while. The traffic was almost nonexistent at this time of the night. Getting to the rendezvous shouldn't be a problem. That left him a little time right now.

He thought maybe he would have time for one more sweep of the park to make sure none of the local gang returned for a late night appearance. He'd gone in search of taggers to pass the time. He was able to find six more of them. He was able to successfully shoot the spray cans that they used with his silenced M9. In each case the can ruptured and showered the tagger with the contents of the can. Two of the new targets smoked either narcotics or a cigarette. When the spray cans coated them with the flammable liquid it ignited. In every case the paint ended up in the eyes of the tagger. It sent a strong message that tagging was bad for one's health and well being. Maybe some of them ended up blind in one or both eyes. He did not stay around to check. He felt the 'punishment' was just. Tagging was an eyesore. Now the taggers he took down had sore eyes. There was some poetic justice to that.

He'd come across two individuals breaking into cars. Both of them were still next to the car with two broken legs and two broken arms. They would not be back out on the street for a few weeks. He felt a few broken bones made up for the damage done to the machines they'd abused to steal out of them.

In the park itself he encountered numerous individuals engaged in sexual acts. Most of them were same sex activity, usually with males. He passed by them without stopping. It was only when he heard someone in distress that he'd investigated further. He thought the gang was back and bagged a new victim. It appeared to be a homeless female that was cornered by two homeless men.

"You owe us." The first homeless man said.

"I only asked for a few bites of food." The homeless female said. "I was hungry. I haven't eaten anything in two days."

"Nothing is for free in the 'jungle'." The second homeless man said. "Pay up. It won't take long. You just need to lay there and no one gets hurt."

Frank didn't like the men's attitude.

"Advice is free in the 'jungle'." Frank said from the shadows.

The two homeless men turned around. They could only see the outline of Frank. They could see he was big. There were still two of them and only one of him.

"What advice is that, man?" The first homeless man asked.

"That you treat women with respect." Frank said.

Both men laughed.

There was a round of curses and insults leveled at Frank.

He stepped forward while the two homeless men blustered and he slammed their heads together. They both fell to the ground. He tossed both of them into the dumpster the homeless female hid behind.

"You can come out now." Frank said. "The men are 'gone'."

He spotted a dirty face peer out from around the side of the dumpster. The female looked scared and ragged.

"Are you going to hurt me too?" The homeless female asked.

"No." Frank said.

"I don't put out." The homeless female said.

"That's good." Frank said. "Don't start."

Frank checked his time. The 727 already landed and parked. The team should be boarding the Blackhawk now. He needed to leave.

The homeless female came out and looked around.

Frank handed her some cash.

When she saw what it was, she handed it back. She hadn't stooped that low yet. She didn't want to cross that line.

"I can't do that." The homeless female said.

Frank handed it back to her. He'd been around Savannah in similar situations and saw how she tried to help some of the people. He was very proud to carry on as she would have done.

"Get a room tonight and get on a bus back home tomorrow." Frank said. "If you don't, you will become everything that you don't want to become. Look around you. Look around here. You need to help yourself. This is no place for a lady. Do what you know is right."

He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"Thanks for the advice and help." The homeless female said.

That was the best advice she'd ever heard in the 'jungle' and it was free.


Jim followed Cameron's progress. She was on her way back to the ship right now. Frank just picked them up in the van. The Blackhawk departed to go back and get Lou once he was able to get everything taken care of with the 727. Ken and Lou would service the Blackhawk and remain at the airport until they were needed again.

He'd tried to follow Frank's exploits around the park and surrounding area. It seems he'd been busy. Sheila claimed the park for 'herself'. She was on a mission with Cameron so Frank filled in for her. It seemed there'd been a big increase in eye injuries from paint and several individuals with four broken limbs.

He would make sure the team passed through security without any problems when they arrived back on the ship.


Frank pulled up in front of the cruise terminal. He let the team off.

Cameron told Frank and Dan that they would not be needed until tomorrow.

Frank gave Sheila a quick rundown of his enforcement activities of her proclamation that the park belonged to her now. She thanked him for his venture into the park.

Cameron thanked all of them for coming with her as they boarded the ship. She gave each of them a hug and a kiss on the cheek including Bob.

The girls all volunteered their chassis for Cameron to 'borrow' later on or for tomorrow. She thanked them all again and they headed for the two suites outside the private area.

Cameron stayed back with Bob to go over the events she wanted to do tomorrow.


Jim saw Allison exit the Owner's Suite and lean back in the door for a long moment. Holly entered the private area and Allison rushed over to her. He watched to see what would happen next.

The pass door from the Owner's Suite opened and John poked his head in. When John saw it was only him he entered in his undershorts. There was a noticeable bulge in them.

"Hey, Jim." John said. "Where's Cameron at?"

Jim kept it simple.

"She's with Bob." Jim said.

He brought up the image and showed John.

"What are they doing?" John asked.

Jim did not want to get into details.

"They are finalizing plans for tomorrow." Jim said.

John wondered what was in store.

"Do you know what the plans are?" John asked.

"There will be a before hours tour of Alcatraz on a special charter boat." Jim said. "That will be followed by a private tour of the USS Pampanito."

John was happy about those planned events. He wanted to see 'The Rock' and visit the World War Two submarine with a combat record.

"That's cool." John said. "I wanted to do both of those things."

Jim was unsure about what else would follow.

"The other things are up in the air. There's the USS Hornet. It's also a Sea, Air & Space Museum." Jim said.

John saw a brochure on that in the suite.

"That's the other aircraft carrier." John said. "That's cool too."

Jim wanted to get the first thing John asked for earlier.

"There will be lunch at Fisherman's Wharf." Jim said. "You can also take the city tour during the day, ride the cable cars again or take a trip on BART to see the Bay Area from the ground. Ken and Lou have the Blackhawk ready if you desire a daytime flight around the Bay Area."

John was thrilled. He spotted Cameron approach the private area from the stairway

"That's great." John said. "Thanks."

John quickly left and went back into the Owner's Suite.


Sheila, Ally and Hanna rushed to the two suites where Mary, Laura and Leticia were. They expected to find a 'free for all' in progress. Instead it was quiet as they approached.

"I hope they didn't go back yet." Ally said. "I want to be with all three of them."

Hanna and Sheila were worried about that too. They all wanted to be with Mary, Laura and Leticia but went with Cameron instead. They'd forfeited their personal pleasure earlier to back up Cameron.

Cam-Gail stepped out to greet them.

"Mary, Laura and Leticia are resting." Cam-Gail said. "The other girls are in the Master Suite. They're sharing in pairs."

Ally wanted to know if Vanna and Allison were with John earlier as planned.

"Did they 'do it'?" Ally asked.

Cam-Gail thought that was a private matter.

"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Cam-Gail said. "Leave it at that."

Sheila wanted to be with Leticia.

"I don't care who does what but I want to be with Leticia." Sheila said.

The Metal girls all agreed to switch partners at some point so they could all get a turn with Mary, Laura and Leticia.

Ally and Hanna joined Mary and Laura. They were in separate beds at this point. The Metal girls silently climbed in alongside of them. They hoped to surprise them.

Sheila entered the other suite and stood over Leticia. She lay naked on the bed uncovered. She really liked how Leticia looked.

"I was with Leticia last. She thought I was 'Barbara'." Cam-Gail said. "All of the girls have been with each other tonight so far. You three will complete the circle."

Sheila knew that Leticia wanted to be with her as her 'submissive'. That was something between a 'pet' and a 'slave'. That was a 'slave' in sexual terms, not the traditional type.

If Allison and Vanna bailed, she needed to bring a human female to John. That would make him want 'more'. She too heard what the anti-Metal faction men said. Jesse or Claire could 'step up' back at the base and be with John if Savannah was still reluctant to do so. She wanted to know the plan.

"Do I need to bring Leticia to John?" Sheila asked.

Cam-Gail knew what Cameron wanted.

"You might want to bring John here." Cam-Gail said. "I can go get him."

Sheila wanted a crack at Leticia first.

"That can wait a little bit." Sheila said. "I want some alone time with her and the other girls too."

Cam-Gail nodded and left. She entered the private area and went into Control Center. She wanted to check up on Jesse and Savannah. She missed both of them. After being with the three new human females, it made her long for her true loves. Neither of them were there on the ship.


Cameron headed up the stairs. She'd delayed going back to her suite long enough. She wondered if she'd find Allison or Vanna in bed with John. Maybe it would be both of them with him. It didn't matter. It was what she wanted for all of them. John would be protected and he would have the best honeymoon ever. Maybe she should have brought Cammy and Samantha along. She planned to save Anna for last. She would make sure that Anna retained her current appearance for John. 'Pretty Baby' was his favorite movie after all.

She came out of the stairway and headed down the hall. She expected to hear the girls in a wild 'free for all' when she passed the two end suites in the block that was reserved for them. The first one was quiet. She paused and listened. She didn't hear anything except two people sleeping. Maybe she'd pushed a drink or two too many on them. She'd wanted then to be pliable and 'open' to anything.

The door was not closed tight on the next suite. It was quiet in there too. She opened the door and went inside.

She could hear Sheila 'conditioning' someone. She peeked in the bedroom and Sheila was naked next to Leticia who was also naked on the bed. They were both uncovered.

Sheila looked over at Cameron and waved her over.

"How do I compare?" Sheila whispered.

She lay flat on the bed next to Leticia. She carefully moved one of Leticia's legs over a little more to increase the space between them. She then took the same position herself for Cameron to view them.

Cameron liked what she saw. Maybe she would bring John in here if he was not busy. She knew he would like to be with Leticia. She was Hot. It made her want to use Sheila's chassis again too.

"You win." Cameron whispered.

Sheila smiled at her.

"Have fun." Cameron whispered.

Cameron turned to leave.

"Why don't you watch us together for a few minutes from the dressing room?" Sheila whispered. "I think you'll like it. You might even want to get the tether if you do."

That idea excited Cameron. She declined the offer. She wanted Savannah to be her first female. She said she would watch them for a short while since Sheila asked her again to stay for a few minutes. She moved into the darkness of the dressing room.

Sheila began to gently touch Leticia in every sensitive area. She would wake up aroused.

There was soon a smile on her face when her eyes opened.

"Hello, love." Sheila said.

Leticia seemed a little disoriented. She looked around and remembered where she was. Waking up in a strange bedroom used to happen to her a lot. She spotted her bracelet on the night stand.

"Hi, Sue. Did 'Barbara' leave already?" Leticia asked.

Sheila gave her a deep slow kiss and held it until Leticia needed to breathe. She gasped for air for a few seconds.

"She is gone but I'm here." Sheila said.

That was fine with Leticia. She wanted to be with 'Sue'.

"You take my breath away." Leticia said. "I mean that literally too. I want to thank you for the bracelet again. I really wanted it but I could not afford it. It means a lot to me."

Sheila still had a few surprises for Leticia.

"You're a pretty girl." Sheila said.

Leticia could see Sheila meant it. Now came the next part.

"Do you want me to be with Tony now?" Leticia asked. "I'd like to do that for you. Will you watch us?"

That got Cameron's attention.

"Easy, love." Sheila said.

Sheila gave Leticia another deep kiss.

"I know everything has a price." Leticia said. "I want to please you."

Sheila pulled out the hook.

"You never have to do anything that you don't want to do on your own with me or for me." Sheila said. "The bracelet was a gift. A gift does not have a price on it."

Cameron wanted to Sheila to keep Leticia on the hook. Now there was no 'hold'.

"That really means a lot to me." Leticia said. "Nobody has ever been that nice to me."

Leticia gave Sheila a long kiss.

"Sharing either love or sex should be free and willing." Sheila said. "It should be done with no strings or conditions attached."

Leticia held Shelia and sobbed a little.

"You're the greatest." Leticia said. "I'll do anything for you."

Sheila wiped her tears away.

"Anything?" Sheila asked.

Leticia smiled at her.

"Anything." Leticia said.

Sheila rolled Leticia onto her back and looked over at Cameron and winked.

Cameron did not know if Sheila was serious or not with the things she said. They were actually beautiful. It was clear Leticia was even more devoted to Sheila at this point for her kindness. There were many ways to knock on a heart without pounding.

Sheila started in on Leticia.

Cameron was going to leave to check on John. She needed to stay longer the more she watched Leticia and Sheila together. This was way wilder than when Allison and Vanna let her watch them together, even with the times Jesse was with them. She always wanted to join in with them but she never did. She was 'saving herself' for Savannah.

Now she really wished Savannah would have come along. Savannah would not be in John's bed. Savannah would be in her bed.


Anna wanted Young Allison to get cleaned up and eat something.

"What about Savannah?" Young Allison asked. "She's going to be up for hours and hasn't been able to eat more than a snack."

Anna didn't want to have this discussion again. It was one they seemed to have often. There was no apparent positive resolution to it either.

"There's a lull right now." Anna said. "You need to make effective use of your time."

Savannah and Cammy currently flew up the coast in an Iroquois. They were headed to a potential combat site. They would join with the team that was already there.

Cameron and her team were back on the ship.

Young Allison stayed to see what she could tell about what Vanna and Allison had actually done. She knew Cameron wanted them to be with John. That was not her place to interfere in the personal lives of others but that was supposed to be Savannah and her in the Owner's Suite, not Vanna and Allison. She would share with them for now because she did not have a say in the matter but she wanted her 'birthright' soon. She was educated and felt she was mature enough for everything and everyone.

"I want to get my temporal mission out of the way." Young Allison said. "I'm old enough already even if no one thinks so. Let me get a few more years under my belt and no one should have a problem with it anymore. I don't see what difference a cup size or two makes. Everything else is the same."

Anna didn't want to have this discussion again either. She ignored what Young Allison just said. She knew it didn't make a difference in reality. There were norms to follow.

"You know Cameron has to be there with you the entire time for your temporal mission." Anna said. "There is no exception to that rule."

Young Allison could see she was upsetting Anna.

"OK - OK." Young Allison said. "I know the 'rules'."

Anna knew Young Allison was really worried about Savannah entering combat again.

"Everyone knows what they are supposed to do." Anna said.

Young Allison checked everything one more time and went up the stairs to the kitchen. She took out a premade meal and warmed it up in the microwave. She went to try it but it was too hot.

She heard her shower running a few seconds later. She wondered if Anna was going to use her shower or if she was just getting the water ready for her. She went to check.

She saw that her bed clothes were sitting neatly on her bed. She also saw a fresh change of clothes for Anna there too. She looked in the bathroom and Anna was in the shower.

That was all she needed to see.

She quickly stripped and headed for the shower.

It would not hurt to get ready for bed a little early tonight. There was no need to waste water either. This was just for fun. It also gave her a chance to see what Savannah used to look like. She'd watched every curve on Savannah grow bigger, now she watched and waited as her curves did too.


John expected Cameron to arrive. She never did. He then expected Vanna and Allison to return together. He went and lay down to wait for them. When there seemed to be a delay he wondered if Mary, Laura or Leticia would show up. He hoped it was Leticia but Mary and Laura were just as pretty and as just nice. Mary was the nicest. Leticia was the Hottest.

He soon drifted off to an uneasy slumber. He wanted some more action and he kept nodding off. There was not a whole lot he could do about it. Cameron was the one in control. Whatever else that happened in this bedroom was of her orchestration. He was very pleased at what transpired so far. This was the best honeymoon ever.

He dozed off again.


Steve and Tom were given instructions to meet the Iroquois when it arrived. They'd preselected a landing site for it that was out of the way. It was behind a closed big box store.

The Iroquois would remain there for the duration of the operation in case they needed a 'medevac' for Savannah or any damaged Terminators. This was a last minute change from the CamNet. That meant it probably originated from the Young bunker.

"The Huey will arrive here in twenty two minutes." Steve said.

Tom knew they needed to get everything ready.

"You will see if you can get the lights in the rear parking lot to function." Tom said.

"Affirmative." Steve said.

Tom was instructed to get some hot food and have it ready for Savannah. He knew that was Young Allison looking out for her future mate. Both of those girls were the greatest to be around.

He was not sure how to term it but he always felt different when Savannah was around him. There was a feeling inside him that he could not explain or control. It emanated from his very core.

He knew the other male Terminators felt it too when they were around Savannah. They all felt uncomfortable to talk about it but they all wondered if they were malfunctioning at times because of it. They did not like each other to be around Savannah exclusively unless it was only them.

He asked Cammy about it one time. She looked at him and frowned. She said she knew what was 'afflicting' him and the others. She didn't say what it was.

"Is there a cure for it?" Tom asked.

Cammy wiped a tear from her eye.

"No." Cammy said. "Once you're 'infected' there's no cure."

Cammy offered to share some of her advance infiltration programming with him.

"Will that make it better?" Tom asked.

"No." Cammy said. "It will make it worse but you will be able to 'feel' more."

That seemed painful to Tom.

"That seems counter productive." Tom said.

"That's how it works." Cammy said.

"Is that what's wrong with Cameron?" Tom asked.

"Yes." Cammy said. "She's the most infected of all of us."

"It seems like torture." Tom said.

Cammy smiled at him.

"It is sometimes but it is beautiful most of the time." Cammy said.

"What's the affliction called?" Tom asked.

"Love." Cammy said.

He left even more confused than ever.

Tom shook his head to refocus. He needed to have something nice for Savannah to eat when she arrived. He though back to his time with Savannah in the mine. Whatever was inside of him gripped him harder.
