Chapter 369

Bad Situation

The motor home with twelve girls was followed out in another minute by the box truck. Ally slowed up some so the truck Sheila drove could catch up to her. The convoy of abused girls was headed for freedom. Sheila moved around Ally so she could use the truck as a bettering ram if anyone blocked their path. The front end on the truck was sturdier than that of the motor home.

Ally and Sheila didn't know if they would be intercepted along the way. There was a good chance of that. It appeared that was about to happen sooner than expected.

Sheila was in the lead with the box truck. She spotted a sedan headed towards them. She drew her M9 and held it out the window in her left hand. She zoomed in on the sedan when it was a quarter of a mile away. It was identical to the one that was at the place they'd just left. There were two punks in it. They looked like the two dead men next to her in the cab of the truck. Neither one of them appeared to be on the phone so that was a good thing. They might just be coming to help. Either way they were bound to spot Ally or her as they passed. They didn't look like they were going to block the road and no weapons were visible. It looked like she held the upper hand.

Ally closed up right behind the box truck before the first shot was fired. The car was only two hundred feet away when Sheila started to shoot. She fired six shots in just over a second. The first four shots were at the two men in the front seat. They were both hit twice. The last two shots took out the two tires on the left side of the sedan as she passed it.

Both men were already dead as the car went out of control when it passed the motor home. It swerved sharply to the left and then started to roll. It rolled six times before it ended up in a ditch on the side of the road. Neither body was ejected. It should look like a traffic accident at first to anyone who noticed it. It was off the road and the road was lightly traveled.

John and Bob received a call from Ally. She informed them Sheila and her were on their way and to run interference for them if they needed it. John and Bob headed for an SUV. They knew Cameron wasn't going to like it but there were eighteen girls they were about to get out of a bad situation.

Cameron quietly and unobserved entered the house. There was a flurry of activity going on. There were four men she could see. She could tell the men were busy packing things. There were stacks of cash visible as well. It looked the men in the house still needed some more time to get everything situated. Two of the men carried a stack of papers outside in boxes. She followed them out from a side door.

They loaded the boxes in the back seat of a sedan. One popped the trunk open. Cameron moved up quickly and terminated both men, their bodies were now in the trunk. She closed the trunk lid and took the car keys with her.

Cameron went to the shed where Sheila told her two men took one of the girls. She checked back in the direction of the house as she listened. It didn't sound as if anyone else was about to come out yet. She directed her attention back to the shed. It was clear the men inside the shed that were abusing the girl needed to be terminated.

"You were going to bring 'top dollar', now you're going to be mine instead." One man said. "I always wanted to be 'first', now I am going to be."

Cameron looked around the corner. The girl was gagged and bound. The men stripped her pants off as she struggled and tried to call for help. She'd witnessed enough. It was time for action.

She moved towards the first man and rabbit punched him Terminator style at the base of his neck. It severed his spine completely.

The girl looked on in horror as one of the men's head snapped backwards as his torso shot forward. There was a beautiful girl behind him for a fraction of a second. She blinked and the girl was gone.

Cameron moved to the man who'd just spoken.. She chopped her hands against his arms and broke both of them. She then did the same thing to his legs. Before the initial shock of the attack wore off she gagged him. His pants were down around his ankles already by his own actions.

She quickly untied the girl and tossed her pants back her.

"Come with me if you want to live." Cameron said.

The girl removed her gag and pulled her pants on.

"Thanks, that was close. He was going to assault me." The girl said. "Who are you?"

Cameron wanted to avoid questions.

"Nobody." Cameron said as handed the girl a knife she'd taken from the first man. "It's up to you if you want closure."

The girl knew what he was going to do to her.

Cameron disappeared back outside and returned to the house. There were only two men left. They began to wonder where the other men were at. They were supposed to help them pack up.

"Where are Jacobs and Lopez?" The first man asked.

"Maybe they went to 'pork' that skank that Tiny and Sweet were going to bust." The second man said.

"Knowing Tiny, she'd still be a virgin for Sweet." The first man said.

"I want some of that too before we go." The second man said.

"I hear you bro." The first man said. "She'll still be plenty tight."

Both men laughed and suddenly looked to their side.

They looked confused as Cameron walked right up to them and terminated both of them with her hands. There were looks of surprise on their faces as they died. They were not used to a female standing up to them. Now they were dead.

She looked around to see what she needed to take from this area. She heard a muted scream from the shed. She took the satchel of cash and headed for the door. The girl came out of the shed. She threw something into the dirt. She could see the knife was bloody.

"Who's the big man now?" The girl asked over her shoulder. "My younger brother is bigger than that."

Cameron could hear the man thrashing about with more muted screams.

"He will bleed to death soon." The girl said. "I waited until he regained consciousness…. I wanted him to know I hurt him. I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head when he saw me.

Cameron knew what the girl did…. She opened the trunk of the car and took the two men out of it. She drug both of them back inside the house. She took two road flares from the trunk before she closed it and ignited them. She threw one in the house and the other into the shed. The muted screams grew louder from the shed as the bleeding man was surrounded by fire.

"That's even better." The girl said and looked at the shed. "Suffer some more – shorty."

Cameron opened the door of the car and the girl got in. She and the girl drove off.

"How long were you there?" Cameron asked.

The girl looked back once as they left the area.

"They kidnapped me earlier today." The girl said. "I was on my way home from school."

Cameron question the girl to see what she wanted to do about what happened. She'd only been groped. She looked at some blood on her hands and wiped it on her pants. She was a little worried now about what she'd done to the man. She said she didn't want to go to the police. She would tell her parents she'd gone to a friend's house.

"Are you sure?" Cameron asked.

The girl saw the men Cameron killed.

"You're not with the police are you?" The girl asked.

Cameron wanted to keep it simple.

"No." Cameron said. "I was in the area and ran into this group. They tried to take me too. My friends helped me get this straightened out. They have the other girls out already."

The girl could see that Cameron didn't really want to discuss it.

"I guess you represent some secret group." The girl said.

Cameron flashed a faint smile.

"It's something like that." Cameron said. "I help out when I can."

Cameron coordinated with John to bring the cash she'd collected from the earlier part of her endeavor here. It appeared no one followed the motor home or box truck. They would all meet up on the outskirts of the airport.

Cameron spotted the wrecked car in a ditch off of the road. There was a coyote pulling on one of the dead men inside the car. It was able to get an arm off one of the men.

Sheila and Ally both stopped near the airport.

They freed the girls.

Sheila went to the back of the box truck and opened it up. The girls were all a little surprise to see her standing there. They'd heard the gunfire earlier and didn't know what happened.

"Hop out girls." Sheila said. "You're free."

The girls were a little hesitant to get out. They were worried they might be shot and left in the desert.

Ally pulled up behind the box truck. She turned off the motor-home and went back to the curtain. She opened it up and the girls were all huddled as far back as they could go.

"You're free." Ally said.

No one moved.

"Look, the other girls are getting out of the truck." Ally said.

Some of the girls moved forward. They watched as Ally threw the two dead men out onto the ground. They'd all been abused by both of them many times.

"It's cool." One girl said back over her shoulder. "We are free."

They all got out.

Cameron handed out the cash as she divided it up. The girls could hardly believe it. It was a lot of cash. Ally and Sheila threw the dead men in the back of the truck and closed it up.

Some of the girls didn't want to take the cash.

One tall girl told them to take it because they were owed something for what happened to them. There were the ones who 'earned' that money.

None of the girls wanted to go to the police. They were runaways or drug users, now they all were flush with thousands of dollars in cash. Four of them left in the sedan. They said they would leave the boxes of information near the police station but not stop to go in. Six left in the SUV that Bob and John arrived in. The rest left in the motor home. One of the girls said she'd driven one before. Cameron recommended they all return home. She hoped at least some of them would. She knew most of them would not. It saddened her some to know at least a quarter of them would end back up on an operation like this in about a week's time. Those would be the drug users.

John Henry was unable to come up with anything additional on the Grays that Cameron encountered in New Mexico.

Cameron really wondered what she was doing out here in the first place. The original plan was to backtrack her route. That meant they would have to drive back. That would take hours. They would take the box truck back to the ranch where the other SUV was left at and go in it. John decided it was time for all of them to go home. He wanted to use the jet and just get away from this place. Without any solid lead they would just be driving around.

They drove the box truck back to the airport and left in the jet. The burning ranch house could be seen in the distance as the jet flew into the night sky.

Cameron reflected on the needless loss of life all for greed. It was more than just greed for money. It was also greed for power. Power was money and money was power.

John Henry updated Holly. She passed along the good news.

"Cameron's back." Holly said.

The sad look on Claire's face vanished instantly.

"I'm so glad." Claire said. "I was so worried."

Allison remembered all the times at the base she worried when Cameron was out or delayed.

"I won't say you get used to it but it is a regular occurrence." Allison said. "This one was a little more involved."

Claire looked at Hanna and Holly.

"I don't feel safe here anymore." Claire said. "I want to move to the base."

Hanna took Claire's hand to reassure her.

"I'm not going anywhere, Claire." Hanna said.

Allison didn't want that for any of them.

"Mom, think of Dad for Allison and Summer." Allison said. "For me…."

Claire was worried about the repercussion of the actions she'd already taken.

"What's he going to say when he finds out I'm pregnant?" Claire asked. "We haven't had sex for months."

Allison thought the truth was the best answer. It would be hard enough to believe anyway.

"We will tell him the truth." Allison said. "We owe him that. Besides, he has to know something is up anyway with all that has gone on around here. This place is a menagerie of smoking hot females."

Allison wondered if that was the only reason her dad stayed around. Maybe he hoped to get 'lucky'. There was a nice choice of hot females to dream about.

"Allison, when your baby is born after I deliver it for you, I'm having John's baby for Cameron." Claire said. "I'm going to give it to her as her own child."

Holly and Hanna could see Allison was angry at her mother.

"I don't think so." Allison said.

Allison and Claire faced off with each other.

Holly quickly took Allison away and Hanna took Claire away. Both of the Metal girls tried to defuse the situation.

Claire previously told Allison this and she tried to dissuade her mother, clearly it wasn't working. She was sure Cameron was behind the desire to move anyway. She also understood whoever was in John's bed would find Cameron there too at some point.

"I will speak to Cameron about this." Allison said. "I don't want that to happen. That will be my brother or sister."

Holly scanned Allison and was worried about the readings.

"I can do it for you." Holly said. "I don't want you upset or angry. I don't want you to have any problems again. Please, Allison, for US, for OUR baby…."

Allison could see she'd upset Holly as well as herself.

"Sure, Holly, I'm sorry." Allison said as she touched her cheek.

Holly was 'sure' about one thing; Allison wasn't done with her talk to Cameron…. She would probably offer herself to John if Cameron kept her family together, the four of them that belonged together. Maybe that was Cameron's plan all along.

Hanna could see how important this was to Allison. She was an infiltrator. It was time she played her intended roll. She decided to ask Allison if she wanted her to be with her father as well as her mother. She was sure she could hold the three of them together even if Claire and Paul were focused on her and not each other. She would make sure that a 'three way' happened at least once a week. She would look forward to the new 'experience' and run her full programming. Paul wouldn't be going anywhere after that. She would run it by Allison and Claire both tomorrow. First she needed to talk to Cameron….

Hanna knew that once someone tried Metal that nothing else would settle….

Ally put her phone away.

"Hanna gets all the good assignments." Ally said.

Sheila thought it was a little more involved.

"I don't think you would be the best choice for her 'assignment'." Sheila said.

Ally was a little offended.

"Why not?" Ally asked. "They both want Cameron, I'm available. Nobody is closer than me."

Sheila could picture Ally with Claire and Paul in front of Young Allison and Summer with Allison there too. What would all that look like to everyone, especially the two girls.

"That's the 'Holly' in you talking, ask your 'Allison' programming." Sheila said.

Ally did and was further irritated.

"Maybe they would want to step things up at the Reese house." Ally said.

Sheila decided Ally needed some sexual comfort.

"Go take a cold shower and I will be in to see you as soon as I get everything put away." Sheila said.

Ally liked that idea.

"Hurry up or I'll start without you." Ally said.

Sheila laughed. That was nothing new.

"You always do anyway…." Sheila said.

'Rockin' Pneumonia' by 'Johnny Rivers', played as Ally got ready…..

Bad Situation

Does anything that's really good
Ever come out of anything bad
Some people think that it can
One will most likely end up sad

It's not about what one does
It is what drove them to do it
That is their real true self
Their deeds they must admit

There's no good or evil
It's all human nature
The sum of their actions
Is more than nomenclature

Humans by design are flawed
Failure is in their DNA
Any attempt to point it out
Soon leads to a messy affray

Every ugly repetitious altercation
Becomes its own affirmation
It doesn't need much observation
To recognize a bad situation

Nobody
