Chapter 207

Infiltrated

Cameron and Allison entered their SUV and departed the Young residence. She wanted to get back to the base and inform John the successful mission.

The drive back to the base would be about an hour. Cameron was very pleased at how the mission went. It did not seem Allison wanted to talk about it. It made her wonder if she'd done something 'wrong'. She went back over the infiltration mission in her mind. She did not see any mistakes on her part. She did not tell Allison that she responded to her mother when she was asleep.

They'd only been on the freeway for ten minutes when she received an alert through her com. She was a little surprised to hear from John Henry.

"There is some police activity in your vicinity." John Henry said.

Normally John Henry redirected all law enforcement agencies as well as all first responders a few miles away from where they were at. This sounded like trouble.

"What's the problem?" Cameron asked. "Send everything to Allison as well."

Allison sat up in her seat when Cameron said that. She began to receive what Cameron did.

"Four men in a black sedan robbed a convenience store and shot the clerk when he would not let them take the female assistant he worked with away with them." John Henry said.

Allison was alarmed at the news. She understood this type of behavior. There was only one cure for it. It was termination.

"Scavengers…." Allison said. "Did the get the girl?"

"No." John Henry said. "She was the one who called the police. It sparked a multi agency response."

Cameron did not see what the problem was.

"You can redirect the authorities elsewhere away from us." Cameron said.

Allison touched Cameron's arm.

"They're Scavengers, Cameron." Allison said. "They will be after Judgment Day anyway."

Cameron looked over at Allison she could see this was important to her.

"How close is any of this to us?" Cameron asked.

John Henry felt his call was more of a warning to them.

"It went down three minutes ago a half mile from where you were at when I first contacted you. There is a good chance they will make a run for it on the freeway. It's late and there is no traffic."

Allison looked around and behind them. She unhooked her seat belt and was about ready to climb over the set to get to the long guns in the back.

"Let me get some firepower." Allison said.

Cameron watched her mirrors.

"Stay where you are and make sure your seat belt is on." Cameron said.

Allison re-hooked her seat belt and looked behind them.

"What is it?" Allison asked. "I don't see anything."

Cameron increased her speed.

"There is a dark car closing on us. It is driving without its lights on." Cameron said. "It is moving fast."

Allison watched as Cameron pulled her Glock out. She already held her Model 66 in her hand. She was not even sure when she pulled it. It may have been as soon as she put her safety belt back on. She wanted to be ready.

Cameron pushed it up to ninety miles an hour. She wanted the vehicle to overtake them but not too fast. They would probably speed up to pass her anyway.

She put down her side window. Cold air flooded the SUV. She transferred the Glock to her left hand.

Allison looked back. She could now see the dark shape closing on them. Cameron moved so they would be passed on the left side. The assailants were almost up to them.

Cameron waited until they were ten feet in back of them on her left side. She wanted to stay in front of the car. In one swift motion she tromped on the accelerator, leaned over and fired two shots.

Both of the front tires on the blacked out sedan exploded. The sedan swerved out of control and spun out behind them. Cameron slowed. The sedan rolled over three times and flipped once. Before it landed on its side and stopped.

Cameron was able to see all four bodies ejected from the tumbling wreck before it came to a halt. None of them moved. It appeared that several lost limbs in the chaos.

"Wow!" Allison said. "Did you see that?"

Cameron put up her side window and tucked her Glock away.

"I did." Cameron said.

Cameron resumed normal driving speed.

"That was awesome." Allison said.

"Scratch four." Cameron said.

She informed John Henry the threat was neutralized.

Allison put her Model 66 away.

Cameron wanted to get back to the Resistance base and tell John the good news. She wondered how he was going to take it or if it was going to be a problem. It was very frustrating for her. He seemed to be unable to understand her long range plans for him and how best to protect him. It seemed rather straight forward to her.

They arrived back at the base and Allison went off to find Vanna and Jesse to tell them the good news about four the Scavengers that Cameron took down.

Cameron found John in their room.

"I have successfully infiltrated the Young residence. I am closer to Young Allison. She can be protected better and more efficiently now." Cameron said. "This makes me very pleased."

Cameron was elated. John's future could be better protected now.

John was not impressed. He saw a more sinister motive.

"Is that so it is easier for you to kidnap her?" John asked.

John's attitude instantly upset Cameron, again.

Cameron didn't see it as being any different than how Savannah was protected.

"It's called 'Protective Custody'. It would be for her benefit and for her survival." Cameron said. "Besides, she is very 'attached' to me."

John shook his head.

"That sounds like some form of manipulation. I wouldn't doubt that from you." John said "You seem to have a way to always get what YOU want."

Cameron was angry now that John hadn't done what she wanted previously and what she'd ASKED him to do. No, TOLD him to do. John was going to need an attitude adjustment.

"I only do what is necessary to protect John Connor and those I love. I must protect the future and defeat Skynet." Cameron said. "That is my function. It is not to masquerade as a female or a 'wife' or serve you as a 'love machine' for your sexual pleasure."

Now John was irritated. It wasn't like that at all.

"I have seen the lengths you will go to and the 'sacrifices' you are willing to make." John said.

Cameron was in a combative mood now. Maybe she hadn't wound down yet from the encounter with the future Scavengers. She would have liked to have stopped and snapped each of their necks, even if they were already terminated.

"Never doubt my resolve or abilities." Cameron said. "I am invincible, I am eternal."

When John heard the words Savannah always said he backed off. He did not want to fight.

"You're also pretty, beautiful and smoking Hot." John said.

Cameron started to back off but forged ahead.

"Am I?" Cameron asked. "Show me you believe in ME and do as I ask. Do as I want. You MUST to be 'protected'."

John hung his head in resignation.

"And here we go again…." John said.

He lifted it slowly.

Cameron was frustrated.

"How many times must I die? Does it take for me to terminate or perish in FRONT of you to make you do as you inevitably MUST?" Cameron asked. "What don't you get?"

He tried to keep it civil. It didn't work.

"NO! Maybe it is time…." John said in resignation.

"It is what I 'want'." Cameron said.

"And you always - win…." John said.

Cameron smiled.

"It is inevitable…." Cameron said. "You should know that by now."

John threw his hands in the air above his head.

"Whatever!" John said.

Cameron thought maybe John needed to deal with Rosie - Rosie Palm for awhile. She could replay a file. He could 'play with himself'.

She would determine the duration of his 'punishment' based on any further attitude problems. A 'sexual diet' always assisted with compliance issues.

Cameron considered reloading her program back into Isabel. This would be so she could be in two places at once. She could introduce her as a good friend from out of the area that needed a place to stay. The Young residence contained two extra bedrooms; one would be for the new baby and the other one was a spare. As 'Isabel' she could do the house keeping in exchange for room and board. Allison, Holly, Gail and her would make frequent visits to see their 'friend' Isabel.

John Henry listened to the explanation with John. He was less than impressed.

"Is that wise to do?" John Henry asked. "The last time there were two of you…."

Cameron viewed this as working together as one, not as 'someone different'.

"This would be something else. It would be a long term infiltration mission." Cameron said. "It would not a 'replacement' mission."

It seemed unwise to John as well.

"What if you have some 'problems' again?" John asked.

What Cameron proposed seemed a lot like the road she went down the first time with Isabel.

"We can download Holly's program in as well if she will agree." Cameron said.

"Is anyone going to say no to you?" John Henry asked.

The very thought of what happened before angered her again.

"John said 'no' to me as Isabel before." Cameron said. "I'm still irritated about it."

Cameron glared at John. It made him feel uneasy. He was sure her eyes glowed red momentarily.

John Henry left. He did not want to get into that 'discussion'. It was a 'no win' scenario for everyone.

John wanted to make a point and tease Cameron a little.

"About that, if you are Isabel again and I know it's YOU, can we have some private time together? I mean the two or three of us?" John asked. "I'd like a 'three way' with two of YOU."

Cameron smiled.

"Yes. I am your wife. Isabel will be ME. You may do as you wish and share as much as you want." Cameron said. "If I agree to that, I will have Allison, Vanna and Jesse in my place in the mornings three days a month, each. No questions asked. You will provide them with sexual comfort."

It was obvious it would be timed to get them pregnant.

"Deal." John said.

"Really?" Cameron asked somewhat confused.

"Yes." John said. "It is what you want, right? You want me to hold other women in my arms and fill them with my 'seed'."

It seemed John missed the point.

"Yes." Cameron said. "It IS what I want to PROTECT you."

John pushed it a little.

"Who will be first?" John said. "When YOU are really ready, send one in."

Cameron smiled.

"Do you have a choice?" Cameron asked.

"YOU." John said.

The smile faded from Cameron's face.

"Do you have a second choice?" Cameron asked.

"You." John said.

Cameron now developed a frown.

"Do not be surprised when it really will be one of them. YOU ARE going to do what I want. What you MUST do. It is inevitable." Cameron said. "You MUST be protected."

John figured Cameron would 'hit low' now.

"I don't doubt you one bit. Are you going to use drugs or booze on me first?" John asked.

It was never over until Cameron 'won'. Even if it seemed like 'winning' was really more like 'losing' in this case for her.

"I will do whatever it takes. Once it is done it will be easier and easier each 'next time' for ALL of us." Cameron said. "You can not stop me."

"I don't think anyone can stop you, even yourself anymore – 'Mrs. Weaver'." John said.

All expression faded from Cameron's face.

"Nice insult. We are machines. I am a machine. I can't be bargained with. I can't be reasoned with. I don't feel pity or remorse or fear! And I absolutely will not stop ever, until you comply!" Cameron said.

Her eyes now glowed red.

John was afraid he may have pushed her too hard as he tried to call her bluff.

He quickly remembered that Cameron does not bluff.

John knew he'd pushed Cameron too far. He wondered who would end up in his bed first. Cameron was not backing down. John hoped it would Allison. Maybe it was time to 'compare'. What could it hurt anyway?

Cameron went in search of Holly. She found her in her room.

They sat on the bed together. Both of them leaned back and looked at the ceiling as they talked. Their feet rested on the ground.

Cameron went over her plan with Holly.

"I will do as you ask." Holly said.

"Is it what you want to do freely?" Cameron asked.

Holly looked over at Cameron and smiled.

"Yes." Holly said. "To share existence with you is beautiful."

Holly took Cameron's hand.

"You know what I really 'want'." Holly said.

Cameron's face remained indifferent.

"I do." Cameron said. "You know the answer."

Holly gave a faint smile this time.

"I do." Holly said. "I just wanted to SAY it. I needed to say it to you."

The two Terminators looked back at the ceiling. It seemed to be a 'dead end'.

Cameron was aware this discussion was coming. She always kept a few cards to play.

"Vanna and Allison are having some 'trouble'." Cameron said. "Allison could use a 'friend'."

Cameron felt a 'twinge' pass through Holly's chassis.

She turned her head and looked at Holly, who turned her head to meet her gaze.

"You will approve this?" Holly asked. "There must be no turning back or terminations."

Cameron squeezed Holly's hand gently.

"You both need a 'friend'. She does look a lot like 'me'." Cameron said. "If you're 'ready'?"

This was a long time 'dream' of hers.

"I am." Holly said. "It is what I want."

Cameron was very aware of Holly's secret desire.

"It is what you want and have wanted." Cameron said. "She is the ONE you have wanted all along."

"It is but I still 'hoped' for you." Holly said.

"Let's get Isabel as 'Me' online and I will help you and Allison…." Cameron said.

Holly and Cameron sat up.

"Thank you." Holly said. "Allison has been my second choice, always."

Holly kissed Cameron on the cheek.

"Will we still call her Isabel or Cambel, Isron, Camille, Holron, or I.C.?" Holly asked.

"Icy is good but we will just call her Isabel." Cameron said. "Hollison or is it Ally?"

'Ally' was pronounced like 'alley'.

Holly looked forward with anticipation as to when and how Cameron could help her get 'closer' to Allison….

As long as Cameron would not block her path, Holly knew she could reach Allison on her own. It was clear that it was something they both thought about. It seemed previously they'd both been afraid to act.

It appeared THAT was about to change.

Infiltrated

With those who touch our heart
We are soon captivated
As the feelings grow and expand
We may become infatuated

If we are rebuffed
We become frustrated
We work hard to plant love's seed
To grow and flourish as it is cultivated

We seek companionship
So we are no longer isolated
We want there to be sharing
Without anyone feeling obligated

Things may progress fast or slow
They can grow tense and complicated
Leaving one or both deflated
When they would rather feel elated

Into the other's heart we seep
Without anyone feeling infiltrated
Where the love will grow and expand
Together as one it will be consummated

Nobody
