Chapter 562

Next Time Make Sure

John was over the top of 'Savannah' He was about to take her virginity. He was thrilled with that prospect. He would always be her 'first'. She wouldn't know if he was good or bad. She would just know he was her 'first'.

He was startled by the door being flung open. The light came on blasting his eyes and someone shouted. His head instantly turned towards the commotion. He was in somewhat of a compromised position.

"What the Hell?" Savannah shouted.

John was even more stunned to look at Savannah standing in her doorway. He thought that was who was underneath him. He quickly looked down to see who he was about to make love to. He'd thought it WAS Savannah.

It was Cameron…. That was a relief. It could have been worse. It could have been someone else.

There was a look of fire in Savannah's eyes.

"What the Hell, Cammy?" Savannah shouted.

That wasn't the name John wanted to hear. He looked down again. It looked like Cameron.

Cammy! Now he was really in it. He thought a better position was in order. He rolled off of Cammy and faced Savannah.

Savannah still held her Glock up and pointed at Cammy and him.

John knew he needed to get some control before someone got shot. He could see that Savannah was mad enough to do it too. She looked really angry.

"Savannah, relax, it's not what you think…." John said.

Savannah just saw two naked bodies with one on top of the other. The legs on one were spread and the other's were in-between them. What else could it be? She'd seen plenty of pictures and videos. She'd lain in the same bed, HER bed, with John in the same position over her. She didn't need a rule book to know what was going on.

"It sure looks like it." Savannah said. "It's in MY bed on top of it all."

Cammy could see Savannah was steamed. Savannah pointed her Glock at both of them still. She knew how deadly a spurned lover could be. Jealousy could put anyone in a rage.

"Savannah, relax, it's really not what it looks like…." Cammy said.

Savannah didn't care if Cammy was with John in HIS bed as HERSELF. That wasn't the case. It was in HER bed with HER voice in the darkness. John would've thought it was her. Now HER first experience with HIM was forever tainted. It was just the idea that Cammy stole something so precious from her.

"It's in MY bed, Cammy, with MY voice in the dark." Savannah said. "How could you? This was to be MY moment, not yours as me."

Savannah knew she was going to think about this every time she lay in her bed now. Cammy got 'busted' in her bed as John thought it was her. John's 'first' experience with her would always forever be Cammy posing as her. Her finger tightened on the trigger. The little safety was fully depressed on the trigger. She was about a half a pound of pressure away from capping off a round.

Cammy hadn't been penetrated. She was still a virgin. She wanted Savannah to know.

"Nothing happened." Cammy said. "Look."

Savannah looked. They weren't in 'contact' now but that didn't mean they weren't before. Maybe John already finished. She'd read in Cosmo about the 'aftereffects'. If she looked closer she should be able to see 'traces' around the area. Things seemed to have a way of showing themselves. It seemed like a waste to her. Why didn't it all stay where it was put? She didn't think animals experienced that same dilemma. It seemed to be something singular to humans.

Maybe that wasn't the real issue now. The last she heard was all of the Terminators were going over the captured equipment and one of them was Cammy. If Cammy was there, who was here? What was really going on here? Maybe 'Cammy' wasn't Cammy and she planned to terminate John in her bed. Who would get blamed for that? It would be her. Vanna and Jesse were busy with each other. She was the only one without an alibi.

"How do I know one of you isn't an impostor or Liquid Metal?" Savannah asked.

Cammy could see this was about to get away from her. Savannah wasn't going to back down. Events seemed a little hard to explain differently.

"Neither of us is Liquid Metal." Cammy said. "Savannah, you need to relax. Put the gun down."

Savannah held her Glock steady. She was angry, upset, felt betrayed and really, really wanted to hurt someone. There was still something off to this whole thing.

"I'm going to sound the alarm." Savannah said.

Savannah moved towards the 'panic button' for the 'general alarm'. The base would go on alert.

John knew once she pushed the alarm that everyone was going to show up at her room armed. He really didn't want everyone to see him in this compromised state, especially his mother. He knew she was going to flip when she saw this.

"Wait." John said. "I can explain."

Savannah was next to the 'panic button', her Glock was still raised.

"I'm dying to hear it…." Savannah said. "Proceed."

Savannah remained there with her Glock pointed at both of them and her other hand on the 'panic button'.

Earlier:

Cameron was pleased with her 'talk' with Cammy. It clearly established who was 'top dog'. She continued to work with the rest of the Terminators still going over the new acquisitions. She was very pleased with their haul of HK equipment and the Terminators that they'd captured as well. It did bother her some the captured female Terminator was stripped. It was clear she'd been 'inspected' if not abused. She didn't think any of the male Terminators were responsible either. She decided to question Sheila about it. Everything was still there on her and she wanted to make sure it stayed that way. Sheila would often mess with a Resequencing female Terminator. The Resequenced sheath would mask what was done. She'd found evidence of Sheila's tampering before. She did know that was something that Sheila 'inherited' from the 'Neural Interface' with Jesse. Jesse did warn them before the procedure that there was a lot of 'darkness' inside of her. Sheila possessed all of it and magnified it.

She looked around. Someone was missing.

Where was that Bitch, Cammy, at?

Cameron looked around some more and couldn't find her. She asked around.

Ed reported that Cammy looked at her phone a lot. She seemed to be very agitated and left soon afterward.

That sent up a lot of red flags for her. Something must have happened somewhere.

Cameron checked with CamNet to see what happened. She also started to access the surveillance footage from the Resistance base. Maybe something 'bad' happened.

CamNet informed her that Cammy made multiple calls to Savannah that went unanswered. That alone was highly unusual. Something must have happened to Savannah. She immediately called Savannah. There was no answer.

Now Cameron was really worried. Savannah would always answer her. She spotted Cam nearby. That was who she wanted right now anyway.

"Cam, I need you now." Cameron said.

Cam instantly came over. She became worried when she saw that Cameron was alarmed.

"What is it?" Cam asked.

Cam began to check her weapons.

Cameron realized she'd started to do that too.

"I think something's wrong." Cameron said.

Cam watched the altercation with Cameron and Cammy earlier. She saw the 'Taser and knife' part as well. She knew it was a challenge.

"I saw you have a 'discussion' with Cammy earlier." Cam said. "It looked unpleasant."

Cameron was still troubled by that whole event.

"It was. It was worse earlier. That Bitch needs to be deactivated." Cameron said. "Cammy threatened me. She tried to deactivate me. Savannah stopped her at the last second. What a Bitch."

Cam didn't like to be the bearer of bad news but Cammy like her was 'Cameron'.

"That 'Bitch' is 'you'." Cam said.

Cameron was further disgusted by that reminder. She didn't care much for herself to begin with. A rouge version of her was an even bigger threat. Deactivation was too good. Cammy should be terminated. She would do it herself.

"That's even the more reason she should be terminated." Cameron said. "Let's go."

The self loathing Cameron felt for 'herself' only fueled her anger and hate.

Cameron and Cam left in a hurry.

The rest of the Terminators all watched. It looked like more personal problems for Cameron. They all started checking in with John Henry to see what was happening. Cameron wasn't always forthcoming with all the facts.

Cam could see that Cameron's hand glitched a few times. That was never a good thing.

"I better drive." Cam said. "You look like you need a cooler head to be behind the wheel."

Cam took the keys when Cameron held them out.

They left the secure location in a hurry.

Cameron checked her phone.

"Damn." Cameron said. "The security footage is off or blocked."

That seemed odd to Cam. There was no reason for that.

"We should call an alert." Cam said.

Cameron tried to call Savannah, Cammy and John. There was no answer from any of them. That seemed odd.

"Maybe we should do that." Cameron said. "I'm not sure what the issue is."

Cameron tried to reach John Henry but he was busy with multiple calls coming in. It was time for a harder hit.

"I'm having CamNet override the system." Cameron said.

CamNet blasted through the firewalls and Cameron started to check the security cameras. CamNet reported that someone at the base disable everything and didn't leave a trace. She knew she could do that. That Bitch, Cammy, could too.

Cam glanced over as she drove. There was no smoke or gunfire detected.

"Nothing looks out of place." Cam said.

They were almost to the base.

Cameron started to review the previous footage.

They reached the base.

Cameron saw Savannah advance with her Glock up towards her room.

"Oh no…." Cameron said.

Cam looked over as she entered the carpool. She was worried about Vanna now. There were others they needed to think about as well.

"That can't be good." Cam said. "I'm sounding the alarm."

Cameron wasn't sure what was going on. Savannah knew what she was doing.

"No." Cameron said. "Savannah would have done that if she thought it was that critical."

Before the SUV even stopped, Cameron jumped out and ran into the base. Cam hit the brakes hard and stopped the SUV there and took off after her. The keys were still in it.

Savannah faced what looked like John and Cammy but Cammy shouldn't be here. She told both of them to stay where they were. She listened to John and Cammy try to explain what each of them was doing. At least what they thought they were doing.

It starting to sound like a big misunderstanding except for what Cammy tried to do. If she would have done it as 'Cameron' and not HER, she wouldn't be as upset. Cammy almost stole what would be a precious moment for John and her. It was going to happen, sooner or later.

From what Cammy said, it didn't appear that John got any further with Cammy than he did her. Cammy was still a virgin as well.

Savannah was about to lower her Glock when someone burst into the room.

It was Cameron….

John Henry began to field calls and tried to see what went wrong. He was aware CamNet now was in control of his system as well. He'd already unplugged at this point. He didn't want CamNet to take over his chassis as well. He wasn't sure if that happen already a few times before. CamNet was very elusive. She also did more than Cameron's bidding now.

He watched as Cameron ran down the hall towards Savannah's room with her eyes glowing red and Cam chasing after her.

CamNet blasted images up on his multiple screens. They were all involving John, Cammy and Savannah.

John Henry removed his hand from the panic button. This was a personal matter. He hoped not to be around when it was 'discussed'. It looked like it would be ugly.

Cameron entered Savannah's room and saw Cammy and John naked in Savannah's bed.

"What the Hell?" Cameron shouted.

Her eyes were bright red.

Cameron noted the Glock in Savannah's hand. It was still aimed at John and Cammy. She could see Savannah's complexion was very 'red'. That was nowhere near normal for her. It was clear she was highly agitated.

"Are you OK, Savannah?" Cameron asked.

"No…." Savannah said but quickly regained control. "I'm fine, Cameron."

Savannah lowered her Glock and tucked it behind her.

Cam came in behind Cameron. She took in the same scene.

"What the Hell?" Cam asked.

Cam knew THIS was going to be 'interesting'.

Savannah told Cammy and John to tell Cameron what they'd told her. There was no other way out of this.

Savannah was upset and tired of hearing all this. Once was enough.

Savannah went to leave. She was 'done' with everything. She didn't believe that Cameron was. She paused and turned to Cameron.

"I don't want my room wrecked." Savannah said. "Take it outside."

Cam was shocked. Savannah wasn't going to stop anyone from 'reacting'. That was a first. She knew Savannah must be really upset.

Cameron told John to get dressed and leave. She didn't move out of his way when he tried to go out, he needed to squeeze around her to get out. Her displeasure was obvious.

John was about to leave. He hoped to get away without further incident.

Cameron blocked his path some more and faced him. She glanced once at Cammy and refocused back on John.

"John." Cameron said. "I know this 'Bitch Whore' deceived you. All I'm going to say to you about this is NEXT time make sure it is SAVANNAH, like it is supposed to be. I want there to be a next time too. You owe it to me. Now get out."

John wasn't about to argue. He thought anywhere else but that room was a better place to be, especially right now. It looked like Cameron let him off easy but he doubted he would enjoy the pleasure of her chassis for a few days or longer. She did 'order' him to pursue Savannah. That was a relief. He really wanted Savannah's virginity.

Cammy didn't like Cameron barging in on her. Who did she think she was anyway? Cameron was no better than her. She went to pick up her clothes. She made no attempt to offer an apology to Cameron. She didn't think it was necessary and she should be free to do as she pleased. John was on top of her. She wasn't on top of him. It didn't matter that she almost was.

Cameron didn't like that Cammy seemed unremorseful. That angered her further. She wanted to humiliate Cammy.

"Leave them." Cameron said. "A 'Bitch Whore' doesn't wear clothes."

Cammy ignored her and pick up her underwear.

Cameron moved forward and ripped them out of her hand.

"Leave now." Cameron said. "Go just how you are in your 'builtday suit'. Everyone should see a 'Bitch Whore' for what she is. You're forbidden from ever wearing clothes again."

Cam thought that now was probably not a good time to point out that Cammy being paraded around naked was the SAME as if they were naked. They were all identical.

Cammy didn't care what Cameron said right now. She was in HER room too. It was the room that Savannah and her shared. She liked that pair of underwear that Cameron just wrecked.

"I'm only going out of this room now so I don't have to fix or rebuild Savannah's room later." Cammy said. "If you want a fight I'll give it to you. You don't deserve any of them. You're defective and a danger to everyone. You know it too."

Cameron's eyes glowed red again.

Cam could see where this was headed. Cameron was at odds with herself right now.

"Everyone needs to relax." Cam said. "Please, STOP this."

Cameron and Cammy both glared at Cam.

It was clear they both wanted the same thing.

Cammy walked into the hall naked. She walked around Cameron rather than challenger her for space in Savannah's room.

Cameron and Cammy were going to fight. They both knew only one of them might survive. They were both going to be damaged, one of them would most likely be terminated. The survivor planned to use parts off the other's destroyed chassis to fix their own. This was brewing for awhile. Now it boiled over….

Cameron followed Cammy out of Savannah's room. Once they were in the hall and away from the room Cammy slowed.

Cammy abruptly stopped and faced Cameron. She wanted to make sure she hit her where it hurt the most, her mind.

"Bring it on." Cammy said. "You've been replaced."

Cameron caught the dig and where it was intended to hit. She needed to say a few things of her own.

"'Bitch Whore'." Cameron said. "I should've done this a long time ago. You're not worthy to touch Savannah."

Cameron didn't mention John.

Cam knew this was out of control. Why wasn't Savannah here to stop this? Where was Savannah? Cam looked around as Cameron and Cammy traded insults. They became more frequent and increasingly degrading.

John Henry observed it all.

He knew this was getting worse by the second. He'd seen Savannah come out of the room and then John. Now Cammy was out as well but she naked. Cameron followed her out with Cam behind her.

It was apparent they were about to fight.

John Henry watched as Cameron took out her Glock and Taser. He saw Cameron eye Cammy for a bit and hand her weapons to Cam. It was going to be hand to hand combat….

John Henry knew only Savannah cold stop this and she was nowhere around.

Even John was gone and not trying to stop it. Then again, John being around would only escalate it.

John Henry knew this wasn't going to end well.

Next Time Make Sure

Is anything in life but death absolute
There's a lot of finality to that
It's pretty hard to refute
The curve of life is actually flat

It matters not what people say
Actions speak louder than words
Watch someone everyday
What they do is for the birds

People get caught up
In a moment of time
They lose track of reality
Nothing is in its prime

They lose all control
They're driven by each event
Even as they head for the rocks
Their own destruction they can prevent

Everyone eventually does it
The get caught up in the allure
They vow to do it differently
They hope next time to make sure

Nobody
