Chapter 138
Pass That Bottle
Cameron previously did some strategic shopping for the current infiltration mission. She determined the exact look she wanted for Gail and Holly. She was aware what she was about to set into motion. It would be 'events' that would bring the girls closer to the two Terminators. It would benefit both the girls and the Terminators. The long range benefit for the Terminators was that they would become better infiltrators for all types of situations. They would also be able to better adapt to being around other humans.
She'd purchased a bright red dress for both Gail and Holly. Cameron wore a medium blue dress. Maybe it was a little shorter than it should have been. All of the dresses sported a fairly low cut to them. She wanted the low cut so that both Gail and Holly could exhibit their 'goods'. The 'goods' were very large on both of them. She still liked the way she was proportioned. It seemed that everyone else did too.
'To each their own.' She thought.
Cameron checked out two SUVs for the night's infiltration mission.
That seemed a little confusing to the girls.
"Why are we talking two vehicles again?" Riley asked. "We can all fit in one."
Cameron wanted to give the option to Jesse or Riley to 'hook up' with one of the Metal girls. They would be able to pursue that 'adventure' before anyone changed their mind by waiting.
"Someone or 'two' may decide they need to go 'elsewhere' before the rest of us." Cameron said. "I like to have options available."
Jesse liked that idea. She wanted to be able to capitalize on that eventuality when it happened.
"That works for me." Jesse said.
Jesse and Gail exchanged a quick glance.
Cameron wanted to make everything clear with everyone.
"Jesse, you and Riley will meet us at the address I gave you. I want to go over a few rules with my two Hot and Tight friends." Cameron said. "I want everything to go smoothly."
Riley thought they had a little extra time.
"Can we stop by the mall first?" Riley asked. "I'd like to look at a few things."
Cameron did not see that as a problem. She would like to bring Gail and Holly there as well to get them to look at some of the other clothing options available to them.
"That sounds like a plan" Cameron said. "As soon as we finish here we will meet you there. Park in the south parking lot."
"Will do." Jesse said.
Jesse and Riley left.
Cameron turned her attention to Gail and Holly.
Cameron briefed the two infiltration units. She didn't want any problems.
"There will be no terminations tonight. Is that understood?" Cameron asked.
"Yes." They both replied.
Cameron wanted the Metal girls to 'loosen up some'.
"I want you to have some fun tonight. You can pair off with each other or Jesse and Riley or any combinations you want. Tonight will be a bonding experience for you." Cameron said.
Holly wanted to be with Cameron.
"Can I pair off with you?" Holly asked.
Cameron suppressed a smile.
"No." Cameron said. "Maybe some other time we can do that. Tonight is about you two and the girls."
Gail was unsure why this was all happening.
"Why are you doing this for us?" Gail asked.
Cameron thought the answer was very straight forward.
"I like everyone to be happy and feel like they belong. I want them feel like they are loved." Cameron said.
Holly wanted to remind Cameron they were machines and couldn't be happy. She decided not to bring that up. She could tell that Cameron wanted to make things 'nice' for all of them.
There was another issue that bothered Gail. It regarded their appearance.
"Why did you need to make my hair black and Holly's hair brown?" Gail asked.
Their 'new appearance' would fit in with what Cameron planned for them.
"I wanted you to have a new look for tonight." Cameron said. "Tonight may be a new beginning for you or a chance to experience a new chapter in your life. You two don't know how Hot and Tight you look tonight. You both may wish to 'explore'."
Holly was not sure what there was to explore, they were machines.
Cameron looked directly at Gail.
Gail knew what Cameron 'really said'.…. She referred to Jesse and her 'together'.
"You look Hot and Tight every day, Cameron." Holly said.
Cameron smiled.
"Thank you. John likes it when I look Tight." Cameron answered. "Let me go over the rules again…."
John was at the recon location with the two teams. Things were not what they were supposed to be.
"This operation is way further advanced than I thought or our previous intel showed." John said.
It seemed to Vanna that John wanted to do more than a recon at this point. She wanted to make sure.
"So what do you want to do, John?" Vanna asked.
John wanted to attack. He felt they were ready.
"There are six of us and we travel with enough firepower to do some damage." John said. "I think we need to say 'Hello'."
Vanna was ready for some combat. She'd been out of the 'game' for a long time.
"I will follow you anywhere." Vanna said.
Vanna rested her hand on John's knee for a few seconds before she removed it. She'd made her point.
John noticed but said nothing. He received the message.
John knew Cameron was still leaning on the girls and the 'traditional method'….
Bob knew this was outside the planned mission. He wanted to take the heat with Jim. He wanted John and the others protected.
"Jim and I can move in and hit them while you stay up here and watch our backs and keep our back door open." Bob said.
John wanted to get everyone on the same page.
"Let me get Derek's team here and we can discuss this." John said.
Cameron arrived at the mall with Gail and Holly.
Gail and Holly did not want to go to the mall.
"Why do we need to look at clothes?" Gail asked. "We have everything we need already."
Holly did not like the way males looked at her when she was out.
"Dressed like this we are going to be ogled." Holly said.
Gail frowned.
"I do not like that either." Gail said. "Everyone looks at my breasts."
Cameron looked at the way Gail and Holly were dressed now. Everyone was going to look at them. Everything was out in the open and right in their face. She had second thoughts about going in now. Her dress was too short as well.
"I think Jesse and Riley wanted to pick out a few things for you." Cameron said.
"They can still do that." Holly said. "Whatever they get me is fine."
Cameron could see they missed the point. The Metal girls were supposed to interact and see what they actually liked.
"It is about sharing. You…" Cameron started and stopped.
Gail just got out of the SUV and walked away rapidly.
"Where is she going?" Cameron asked.
Holly looked over from her vantage point and could see where Gail was headed.
"It looks like someone is looking at our other SUV." Holly said. "They are trying the doors to see if it is locked."
Cameron knew there were weapons and other gear stowed in the back of the SUV. She was out in a second and so was Holly.
Gail already confronted the man. She lifted him by his neck.
Cameron could see where this was headed.
Gail slammed the man into the ground as they approached.
Cameron and Holly looked around to see if anyone noticed. It did not look like it.
"Did he steal anything?" Cameron asked.
Cameron checked him. He was still alive but out cold. He had several broken bones.
"No." Gail said.
Holly wondered why Gail disciplined him.
"Why was he punished?" Holly asked.
Gail looked upset now.
"He looked down the front of my dress when I confronted him." Gail said. "It offended me."
Holly bent down and reached for the man's neck.
"What are you doing? Cameron asked.
She stopped Holly.
"I'm going to terminate him before he does the same thing to me." Holly said.
They rolled the man under a truck parked a spot over from the SUV. It should pass over him when it left.
Cameron called Jesse and Riley and told them to wrap it up and go out the north entrance.
Holly drove the other SUV and followed Cameron's SUV to the other side of the mall.
When they parked Cameron went over the rules again. She told Gail and Holly there was going to be a lot of staring at the next place and they should take it as a complement that they were beautiful.
Cameron checked over both of them and they were still in order.
"Let's not mention this incident to Jesse and Riley." Cameron said.
Jesse and Riley came out and they joined Cameron. Holly and Gail were in the other SUV now.
"Did we miss anything?" Riley asked.
Cameron maintained a straight face.
"No." Cameron said.
The girls shared a nice dinner and a few drinks to start off. There was some dancing going on in the bar area. Cameron went over and requested they play a music video on the big screen. She was told in three songs it would be up.
Gail and Holly sat with Cameron and watched everything while Jesse and Riley went up to dance with each other.
"Are we supposed to do that?" Holly asked.
Cameron wanted them to interact with each other along with Jesse and Riley.
"Yes." Cameron said.
It seemed illogical to Gail.
"It serves no purpose." Gail said.
Cameron could see the Metal girls were going to need some 'work'.
"It builds closeness and sparks physical contact." Cameron said. "It allows people who don't know each other to interact."
Holly understood other animals conducted mating rituals.
"I have seen 'nature show' where animals preen and display themselves for each other." Holly said. "Sometimes they will fight for dominance."
Cameron tilted her head slightly. 'Dating' was sort of the same thing.
"It can be something like that." Cameron said.
She was about to say that humans had a little more control. The more she thought about that, the less it seemed true.
"They have finished courting." Gail said.
Cameron was not sure how this was going to play out.
Jesse and Riley danced to few songs on their own. They wanted to up the ante.
Cameron gave Gail and Holly some advice as Jesse and Riley came for them.
"Start out with your infiltration programming on, then once you get the hang of it you can tone it back or shut it off." Cameron told her Metal friends. "You will enjoy everything more as you explore and discover it yourself."
Cameron saw a red flower. She picked it up and placed it in Holly's hair.
"What is this for?" Holly asked. "Why do I need to have vegetation in my hair?"
Cameron could see a bigger picture here.
"When the video starts, you will see." Cameron said. "You two look almost exactly like the two girls in the video, now that you have properly colored your hair."
Cameron's request came up.
Jesse and Riley returned to the table and each one took a Terminator up to dance with them.
'Pass That Bottle' by the 'Devil's Daughters', thundered through the speakers and shook the room.
"Hey, you two look a lot like them." Jesse said. "I really like your new look too."
She indicated the screen behind them. Jesse would later watch that video on YouTube, often.
Holly looked at the big screen.
"Do we look as good as they do?" Holly asked.
She liked what she saw.
"Hotter." Jesse and Riley said together and giggled.
Riley later watched that video on YouTube as well.
Cameron was pleased to see everyone happy.
As soon as the video finished, Jesse and Gail came back to Cameron.
"We are going to head out now." Jesse said as she looked at Gail.
Cameron gave her one set of keys.
Cameron whispered to Gail to try whatever 'happened' without her programming on at first and winked at her. Gail winked back.
Riley and Holly came back after two more songs.
Riley looked at Cameron and Cameron handed her the second set of keys without saying a word. Cameron whispered the same thing to Holly as she did Gail and winked at her. Holly looked a little 'apprehensive'. Holly did not wink back.
Cameron could tell Holly felt some trepidation.
Now Cameron didn't have a ride home. She knew she would not have any trouble acquiring a vehicle. Any one that she wanted was hers for the taking. The night was still young and she wanted to have some fun.
Cameron stood and smoothed her dress. Every head in the place turned as she walked by. Then as always, they turned and all looked again.
She smiled to herself.
Cameron thought it was a nice night out. A little walk would be refreshing. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?
John decided to notify John Henry of his change in plans.
John Henry knew it was a bad plan right from the start. John should have more Metal in his strike force.
"I can be there soon if you wait. It's not that far." John Henry said. "I can stop by and pull Al or Ed off the Reese brothers."
John did not want to leave the base understaffed.
"No." John said. "Keep an eye on Sarah, Allison and Savannah for tonight."
John Henry already checked on them.
"The three of them are playing some games and watching videos Savannah wants to watch." John Henry said.
John wanted to keep the girls and his mother safe.
"You four stay there for tonight." John said. "Keep them entertained and safe."
John Henry wanted to get additional help to John. There was still one other option.
"Do you want me to contact Cameron and her 'team'?" John Henry asked.
John wanted to conduct the operation on his own.
"No, it is their night off. Let them have some free time. I don't want to disturb them." John said. "Do you understand?"
John Henry understood Cameron was going to be upset at John's actions.
"I understand." John Henry said. "I think you know it is a bad idea."
John did not want to get into it.
"You know I'm still going to do it anyway." John said.
John violated Cameron's orders.
How It Works
Is life so very confusing
That so few understand its complexity
Seeming to leave them mired
In a deep state of perpetual perplexity
Nothing it ever seems
Is ever written in stone
Except the dreaded state
Of being eternally alone
When someone reaches out
It is an act of true inner courage
Instead we tend to discourage
When it is something we should encourage
It seems few actually listen
Even though all can hear
It is hard to show compassion
It is easier to snicker and sneer
You don't need be a philosopher
And don't need to act like jerks
You need to think and understand
How it works
Nobody
