Chapter 139
Devil With A Blue Dress
Cameron was very pleased with the way the evening shaped up. She hadn't planned on the altercation at the mall. That was a surprise to her. As far as Jesse and Riley hitting it off with Gail and Holly that remained to be seen. She was sure Gail and Jesse would at least try a few things. She was not so sure about Holly and Riley. Holly was more reserved than Gail.
Now she did not have a ride home since both of the SUVs were gone. She wondered if she could spark a little action. The night was still young.
She paused at the door before she went out. She stood there and looked around. She wanted to make sure it was obvious she was 'alone'. She noticed a lot of faces turned her way.
Cameron smiled and walked into the night. Her high heels created a rhythmic sound as she walked. They sounded her presence as she moved through the night.
Her shapely blue dress adorned figure was stunning in the moonlight.
Cameron had been in a few of these situations before. They all ended the same way. She wondered how long it would be until she picked up some 'company'. It was not very long at all. She hadn't even gone a block yet.
Soon there were the sounds of other footsteps behind her.
Cameron quickened her pace. She wanted to make sure the bait was taken.
It was. She heard the other footsteps quicken to match her pace.
A smile appeared on her face.
Cameron knew this was going to be a good night. More potential Scavengers would be dealt with. She planned to make the future a little safer. It would not be much but everything helped.
She reviewed her files of the street locations around the area she was headed. She continued her quick pace toward a seclude location.
It would be best if there were no witnesses to whatever she would need to do.
The smile on Cameron's face grew.
John wanted to attack the location where they were. The recon showed the operation was more developed than they thought. He called the teams together and devised a new plan.
"Derek, Bob and I will go in. Jim, Kyle and Vanna will hold as the reserve and as the blocking force." John said.
Vanna did not like being sidelined. She was sure John did it because she was a female.
"John, I am in your element. I should go with you, not Derek." Vanna said. "I can do this as well. That is how teams are supposed to operate."
Vanna did not want to be babied. She could pull her own weight and fight as good as the others. She may be a little out of practice but she'd done this for years. Not only had she done it, she'd done it and survived.
Derek and Kyle looked at each other. It was obvious that John wanted to keep Vanna and Kyle out of harms way, they both knew it.
John did not want get into a 'discussion' about his decision. He was the one in charge.
"Next time we can do that. The decision has been made." John said. "We will go with my plan."
John gave Vanna a long silent look.
Vanna knew John cared about her, at least as much as he could.
"Let's roll." John said.
He started toward the building with Bob and Derek.
The second element of the team waited and watched.
"Watch our flanks and six." Jim told Kyle and Vanna. "I will monitor the building as well as their progress. John Henry will keep me posted."
Kyle did not want them to get 'jammed up'. They were about to deal with a superior force. They did have the element of surprise on their side.
"If they run into any trouble, I want to go down and back them up." Kyle said.
"Affirmative." Jim replied.
Vanna wanted to make her position and purpose clear.
"We will all go down and back them up." Vanna said. "That is how teams work."
Jim and Kyle nodded. They were a team.
Cameron set the trap. She took a few turns to make sure the 'mark' stuck with her. It was they who sealed their own fates by pursuing her.
She counted three people following her. One was talking on a phone. It was probably to set up an interception in front of her. This was turning into an exciting evening for her as well. She headed down a dark side street. It was best if there were no wandering eyes.
Once Cameron was around the corner, she slipped her high heels off. She ran rapidly down the street and turned into an alley. She moved down the alley and left her shoes sideways in front of a blind alley off to the side. It would look as if she slipped them off to run down the other alley. She went back across the main alley. She concealed herself behind a dumpster and waited. Cameron figured the high heels, would sucker them into the 'dead end'.
She did not have long to wait. A car pulled off of the main street in front of her and into the alley, the direction she'd been headed. They attempted to block her path forward or her escape.
The three men approached on foot from the way she'd come. The car cruised slowly forward towards her. She was hidden behind a dumpster.
The men spoke a Castilian dialect. They most likely were from South America based on inflection.
One of the men indicated he'd found the shoes. The car pulled up and stopped. Two men got out; Cameron figured her vehicle problem was solved. It was a nice car too.
The driver told the man who apparently was the 'leader' that no one went past him. That only left one avenue for the female to take. The blind alley. She was trapped.
One man was instructed to wait by the car and to watch for any interference. The leader assured him he would get a 'turn'. The leader also assured him it would be worth the wait once he saw her, the girl they were stalking. He said she was the best looking one yet. The other four men started down the dead end alley.
Once they were out of sight Cameron silently moved up and knocked the lookout unconscious. She broke his ankle in the process. He never heard or saw her coming. She was like a shadow at night. She was 'invisible'.
She picked up her shoes and placed them on the hood of the car and made sure the keys were still in the car. They were. Now it was time to play the part.
Cameron boldly walked down the center of the alley after the four men. They never looked behind them. They had their minds set on what they were going to do to her.
She could hear them call for her to come out and 'play'. They said that they weren't going to hurt her 'too bad' as they searched around boxes and trash cans. They said they were going to have some 'fun' then let her go. They said she was going to have a - good time….
There was a single bare light bulb illuminating the area.
Cameron smoothed her dress to look immaculate and boldly walked under the light.
Cameron's blue dress looked brilliant in the light of the bare bulb. Her figure was perfect. The dress was very, very short and low cut. There was a lot on display.
"Vamos de fiesta." Cameron said.
John and his team moved forward. They were not sure what they were about to get into.
Bob took down a guard.
John heard his neck snap.
"We're in." John said over his com.
Bob led the advance. He was flanked by Derek and John.
It looked like this mission was going to go hot, very soon.
John notified Jim's team to be ready to move.
Vanna, Kyle and Jim, waited and worried….
They all knew this was outside the original mission parameters.
Cameron smoothed her dress again in front of them to accentuate her perfect shape. She wanted to look alluring and enticing.
The men turned and looked in disbelief.
Cameron lifted the side of her dress high along her thigh.
"Sin bragas." Cameron said.
It looked that way, even though it was untrue.
Two of the men approached. This was going to be better than they'd expected. This Chiquita was HOT.
Cameron grabbed one man and threw him high into the air. She slammed him into the side of a building. Before he even hit the wall, the next man was on his way toward the opposite wall.
Cameron allowed her eyes to glow blue and then red.
It caused both of the next two men who approached her to hesitate. They weren't sure what they just saw. It looked scary and was intimidating.
Before the remaining two men could move, Cameron moved up and slammed one man into the ground.
The remaining man fumbled around as he tried to pull a knife.
Cameron pulled it out of his hands and snapped it in two like it was a toothpick.
She threw each half into a separate dumpster.
Cameron looked at him as her eyes glowed red.
"Diablo con un vestido azul." The man muttered as Cameron slammed him into a dumpster. It put a large dent into the metal.
She looked back at her handiwork with a sly smile, she then laughed out loud.
Cameron was still laughing as she walked away.
She smoothed her dress and walked back to the car. She brought her shoes inside from off of the hood.
Cameron looked around to see if anyone observed her, there was no one.
She drove off. She adjusted the radio channel.
Cameron laughed at the song that came on next. She turned the volume up as she left.
'Devil With A Blue Dress On' by 'Mitch Ryder', blasted out of the speakers. Cameron cranked up the volume all the way.
Cameron was ready for some more action. The night was still young.
John and his team encountered a second guard. He'd been fooling with a pack of cigarettes and it was easy for Bob to take him down. They moved deeper into the complex.
"What are they doing here?" Derek asked.
They looked at the machinery.
"It looks like they are going to set up an assembly line of some type." Bob said.
John figured that was bad news. The last thing they needed would be an assembly line for HK equipment or Terminators.
They would try and follow up on everything to get an idea of what was completed so far.
Cameron thought about the incident at the mall. That still bothered her. Maybe she would drive back there and see if anyone else was trying to get into people's cars.
She turned into the mall parking lot and parked in the parking structure. She would take the stairs to the top floor and work her way down.
She was headed for the stairwell when she spotted some suspicious activity. There was a man who stayed in front of the vehicles as he moved along down the row of parked cars. It looked like he was tracking someone.
Cameron looked down the parking lot aisle and spotted a young woman pushing a baby stroller. That was who the man was tracking. She did not know if he was after the woman, the baby, her car or the two large bags that she carried.
She could wait until he made his move or she could go in pursuit of him. She decided on preemptive action.
The woman stopped in back of a 'high end' sedan. The man may have seen that when she arrived or he may have seen what her purchases were in the store. The man would probably kidnap her, steal the car with the goods and drive to a secluded location so he could assault her. She was aware some of the predators liked to get a woman with a small child because the female would 'do anything' if the perpetrator did not hurt the child. It was the worst kind of scum to her. She was not going to wait and find out.
She quickly moved up in back of the man at choked him out. She went through his pockets and found a knife, duct tape and a pair of handcuffs. It was clear he was up to no good. She thought about terminating him.
This did not appear to be his first offense at doing this. She waited until the woman drove away and thought of what she wanted to do. There should be some punishment for what the man planned.
There was the sound of movement behind her and a second man lunged at her with a knife. She hadn't spotted him earlier. She'd been focused on the first man.
She reached down and lifted the first man's body up and the second man stabbed him. He was still unconscious. She spun around the first man and 'rabbit punched' the second man in the back of the neck. She heard and felt his spine snap.
She left both of them between two cars and left. She quickly checked her dress for any blood stains or damage. There was none. She decided that was enough 'fun' for the night. She would check in and see how everyone was doing.
Demon
The Demon is within
It is my own mind
When I look inside
I hate what I find
Rejected by ALL others
Feeling like burnt trash
For you JUST to look at me
Would be worth more than cash
The Demon is within
It is my own mind
When I look inside
I hate what I find
Fear, hate, loathing, anger
That is all the Demon can feel
A pile of gray useless matter
Afraid of what is real
The Demon is within
It is my own mind
When I look inside
I hate what I find
But the Demon must fear
For I hold the key
I can slay the Demon within
Destroy its existence and I am free
The Demon is within
It is my own mind
When I look inside
I hate what I find
Nobody
