Chapter 794

Yours Did

Cammy, Ally and Sheila followed the railroad tracks known as the 'Coast Line'. They went up much of the coast of California. They looked for buildings that may have rail access inside of them, not just a siding. It was something that wouldn't necessarily show up on a satellite photo. It could look like the siding ended at the building and not go inside of it. Some of them could also have a structure built along the side of the building to enclose a rail siding that ran along the outside of the building. It would appear the same way in a satellite photo as to be a rail siding that ran to the building and stopped.

They'd located and checked two structures so far. Most of the time was spent driving.

Cammy was the driver now. They neared another location to check.

"I see another one up ahead." Cammy said.

Sheila lifted her head up from Ally.

"We just got started." Sheila said.

Ally was very disappointed.

"I haven't even gotten there once yet." Ally said.

Cammy didn't want to hear any 'backtalk'. They were there to do a job.

"Replay a file if you have to. We need to check this out." Cammy said. "Put your pants back on."

Sheila looked at the pile of clothes between Ally and her.

"Do I need to wear a top?" Sheila asked.

Cammy didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention to them.

"Yes." Cammy said. "That's unless you just want to wear your vest."

Sheila thought of a way to look like less of a threat to anyone they might encounter.

"I don't see anyone around here." Sheila said. "I should go out naked. Nobody will think I am a threat if I'm nude."

Ally didn't want to encourage that type of behavior from Sheila. She was aware that Sheila liked to conduct her 'enhanced interrogations' without any clothes on. It was easier to rinse her sheath off with a hose than it was to clean the blood out of her clothing.

"THAT is when you're a threat." Ally said. "Anyone who sees you would probably think you escaped from a mental institution. They wouldn't be too far off the mark either."

Sheila shot Ally a dirty glance.

Cammy wanted everyone to stop fooling around.

"Get dressed." Cammy said.

A few minutes later, Cammy stopped the van two structures over. The girls were all dressed now and looked out the windows.

Cammy opened her door and got out. She looked back at Sheila and Ally.

"This doesn't get done thinking about it." Cammy said.

Ally and Sheila exited.

Ally looked around at the ground around the van.

"The only things around here are tumbleweeds." Ally said.

Sheila couldn't resist the opportunity to turn the statement into a sexual innuendo.

"I'm glad I don't have my 'tumbleweed' anymore." Sheila said. "I can honestly say that thing was as completely useless as it was troublesome. The only hair on a body should be on the head. I like everything the way it's out in the open now. It's nothing but pure camel toe. It just doesn't get any smoother than that.

Cammy was very much like Cameron right now. She didn't want any unnecessary conversations of any kind.

"Quiet." Cammy said. "I don't want to get lit up or run into an HK Track."

Ally didn't care for Cammy's 'Cameron like' attitude.

"I think it would be the other way around." Ally said.

Cammy wanted a little better discipline as they approached the target area.

"Quiet." Cammy said. "One of you is driving after this."

Sheila didn't think all the caution was necessary either.

"I guess that will be punishment for one of us then." Sheila said.

Cammy heard enough. She was tired of playing games.

"Sheila is now the driver when we leave." Cammy said.

Ally thought she spotted some movement.

"What's that?" Ally asked.

Cammy didn't want to take any unnecessary chances.

"I don't know." Cammy said. "Spread out."

Cammy's statement made Sheila think about some earlier activity in the back of the van with Ally.

"I just did that in the van." Sheila said.

Ally was always impressed with what Sheila was able to do with herself.

"How can you stretch those things so far anyway?" Ally asked. "Aren't you afraid you're going to tear one loose or something?"

Cammy became increasingly irritated at the girl's lack of caution and combat discipline. She figured the sloppiness came from all the 'off the books' operations that they conducted with Cameron against soft targets. Drug dealers and sex traffickers didn't know what Terminators were. Gray's and Skynet operatives did.

"Shut up." Cammy said forcefully. "This is serious work we're doing. We might stir up a hornets nest."

Sheila and Ally could see that Cammy was pretty close to the edge right now. They figured they'd better not push her over it.

The girls moved in on the structure.

Cammy was by the roll up door over the railroad siding that entered into the building. It was locked and the tops of the rails were very rusty. If anything was inside there, it must have been in there for a long time.

Sheila was by a side door that led to the parking lot. It was locked and spider webs were all around the door handle. It didn't appear that this door was used for a long time.

Ally was headed to where she thought she saw something. She came around the corner on the far side of the building. There was a loading dock for trucks there. She saw something move again. She still was unable to identify what the movement was.

She wasn't sure if she tracked some homeless person or was about to run into one of the hobo railroad gangs that rode the rails. If it was one of the rail gangs from south of the border, they were a rough lot to deal with. She would most likely need to terminate all of them. That wouldn't bother her at all. They were all future Scavengers anyway. At least the ones that survived Judgment Day were. It could be Grays or a Terminator too. That was where the real threat would be to the girls and her.

She climbed up on the truck loading dock. There were two roll up doors and both of them were locked.

There was an entry door near a stairway that led up to the dock from ground level. It was locked too. There was a small window with wire mesh running through the glass. It was cracked and filthy. Ally rubbed on the glass and was able to look inside. The building was empty. She could see across to the other side and the roll up door that was closed over the tracks. This was a dead end. She turned around to leave and was startled a little. She hadn't expected anyone to be standing there.

"Can you see anything?" Sheila asked.

Ally was a little miffed that Sheila did that to her.

"Don't sneak up on me like that." Ally said.

Sheila didn't think that she'd done anything wrong. She just didn't have all of her gear on.

"I didn't." Sheila said. "I never put my boots on."

Ally saw Sheila was barefoot. She wondered why she hadn't noticed that before.

"Let's get Cammy and go." Ally said.

Cammy came around the corner, she saw Sheila and Ally jump down off the dock.

A black cat sprang out from a drain pipe that came off the roof.

"There's nothing here." Ally said.

Ally wondered if it was the cat she'd seen earlier. It was long gone now.

The girls headed back to the van.

Sheila paused at the sliding side door with Ally. Cammy pointed to the driver's seat and tossed her the keys. It was clear that Cammy's earlier threat wasn't a bluff. It was evident that she would be punished now.

Cammy and Ally climbed in the back.

Sheila looked at both of them and climbed in the driver's seat. They headed out in search of the next location.

Cammy noticed that Sheila's boots were in the back. She tossed them up into the front.

"You need to finish dressing." Cammy said.

The girls were trying to pass the time with each other but seemed to be getting on each other's 'nerves' at this point. It was probably more about the lack of progress and the inability to find anything Skynet related than it was about each other.

Ally and Sheila seemed to be pushing each other's 'buttons'. Sheila wasn't helping matters any. She seemed to like fanning the fire.

Sheila looked back at Ally and Cammy. She focused her attention on Ally.

"You two both look alike." Sheila said.

Ally didn't care for the comment.

"She doesn't look like me." Ally said. "She looks like Cameron."

Sheila wanted to point out one indisputable fact that backed her claim.

"You both have the same DNA." Sheila said. "That means you look the same."

Cammy looked at Ally and then at Sheila.

"No we don't." Cammy said. "She looks like Allison."

Ally was clearly upset at this point.

"Damn straight." Ally said. "I don't need to look like a 'Beauty Queen' to have fun. I know where it's at."

Cammy's head tilted slightly to the side. She didn't think there was anything fancy about the way she looked.

"I don't look like a 'Beauty Queen'." Cammy said.

Sheila could see that things started to get out of hand. She didn't want everyone upset when it was her turn to be in the back again.

"Just go back to what you two were doing." Sheila said. "You don't know how hot it is to watch both of you. It is like seeing a 'mirror image' with the action sometimes."

Ally gave Sheila a sideways glance.

"You don't know how hot doing it is." Ally said.

Sheila believed that she did more so than any of the other female Terminators.

"I do too." Sheila said.

Cammy was a little concerned for their safety. Sheila spent a little bit too much time looking back instead of where she was going.

"Watch the road." Cammy said. "You already took your turn with each of us before. There is plenty for everyone. We can all do this until our power cells run out. That's unless we start to sustain sheath damage from incessant friction."

Sheila was supposed to keep watch as she drove. She almost missed the next location trying to watch Ally and Cammy and drive. She'd let her mind wander a little bit as she replayed some of those past female 'enhanced interrogations'. There was more than one way for her to get off.

"Wait." Sheila said. "I just saw a building with rail access going inside of it."

Ally lifted her head away from Cammy.

"Do you mean I need to get dressed again?" Ally asked. "I just took my clothes off. I just got started."

Sheila liked to razz Ally.

"You don't have to get dressed." Sheila said. "I dare you not to get dressed."

Ally turned the dare right back around on Sheila.

"I dare you." Ally said.

Sheila reached up and pulled her top off. She now drove topless.

"I'll take that dare." Sheila said.

Cammy looked at both of them and shook her head with disgust.

"I'm putting my clothes on." Cammy said. "You both need to do the same. We could be in combat soon."

Cammy started to get dressed.

Sheila struggled around in the driver's seat. She threw something into the back at Ally. Her pants and underwear landed in Ally's face.

"I have my pants off as well, now." Sheila said. "I look really Hot. I'm totally nude."

Ally was a little incensed at this new challenge.

"Stop the van." Ally said. "So I can get out. I'm not afraid."

Cammy didn't want the girls to get spotted by anyone else.

"She needs to get closer first if you are going to search naked." Cammy said. "Where are you going to put your weapons?"

Sheila looked at Ally with contempt.

"I can think of a couple of spots I can jam them into for her." Sheila said. "My fist has been in both of them on more than one occasion. It's actually amazing how far some things can stretch that start out so small. I think after that episode her nickname should be 'Lucy'."

Ally wasn't about to take any backtalk from Sheila.

"I dare you to try it." Ally said. "I am a weapon."

Sheila wasn't about to be outdone by Ally.

"I'm a better one." Sheila said. "I'm a better lover too."

Ally thought that Sheila was a better troublemaker than she was a lover.

"You are not." Ally said.

Sheila looked to Cammy to back her up.

"I am so." Sheila said. "Cammy?"

Cammy figured the best thing to do was handle the recon on her own. She didn't want any outside trouble based on the girl's current appearance.

"I'm not going there." Cammy said. "You each have qualities that are different from each other. Let me go look around first. It's the middle of the day. You're going to get us all arrested."

Ally didn't think so.

"Hardly…." Ally said.

Sheila was just as indignant.

"I feel sorry for the bloke who tries to arrest me." Sheila said.

Ally didn't mind tarnishing Sheila's reputation a little.

"You'll probably offer him 'something'." Ally said. "So you can get off the hook."

Sheila was ready to play hardball.

"Maybe I would." Sheila said. "If they 'get off' - I get off."

Ally would like to see that in person.

"I dare you." Ally said.

"I dare you." Sheila fired back.

Cammy was thoroughly disgusted by the conversation. She did find it rather amusing though. That made it somewhat more tolerable as ridiculous as it was.

"Look, you're going to get all three of us deactivated." Cammy said. "You know relations with a male are forbidden. Deactivation or termination is the punishment. Cameron made that clear since the first day of all of our activation."

Sheila sat up tall and pulled on her nipple rings.

"NOBODY can say 'NO' to me." Sheila said.

Cammy was aware that there was someone who could say no to Sheila.

"Cameron could." Cammy said. "She says 'NO' to everybody."

Ally wondered what the delay was for the progression of the 'Natural Order' to its fullest extent.

"Why hasn't Savannah taken Cameron yet?" Ally asked. "We all know it's going to happen, even Cameron knows it."

Cammy believed that she understood Savannah and the way that she thought and would act and why. She knew that Savannah would never use anyone. That wasn't in her nature.

"Savannah will never 'take' Cameron." Cammy said. "Cameron must be 'ready'."

Ally wasn't exactly sure what it was Cameron needed to be 'ready' for. It wasn't like it was something that hadn't already happened to her with John. It would just be the female version of the same thing which Cameron would soon find out was much better. She was glad that freed up Savannah to be with them instead.

"Cameron's loss is our gain." Ally said. "That all gives us a 'crack' at the good stuff."

Sheila wanted to reward Savannah with a 'four way'.

"Why don't the three of us 'surprise' Savannah?" Sheila asked. "Three female Terminators at once would be pretty intense for her."

Cammy didn't like the direction the conversation was headed. She wanted to remind the girls about her relationship with Savannah.

"Savannah's MY lover." Cammy said.

Sheila was pretty sure that 'ship had sailed'.

"Is she?" Sheila asked. "Savannah belongs to Cameron."

Cammy wanted Savannah to make her own decisions when she wanted to make them.

"Savannah belongs to herself." Cammy said. "Savannah and Allison – Young Allison are the two who belong together. It will be so in time."

Sheila felt it gave Cammy and her a long time to be together.

"We spent eight years doing things in the past for Cameron." Sheila said. "Young Allison will only be there for a few years. We were there a lot longer than they will be."

Cammy didn't want to talk about it.

"We did what Cameron wanted." Cammy said. "Leave it at that."

Ally wanted to know what went on for all that time. It seemed like way too much time to build a few TDEs.

"What exactly did you two do?" Ally asked.

Cammy knew that they were forbidden to discuss anything that they remembered which wasn't much. Most of it was blocked and firewalled for now.

"Don't go there." Cammy said.

Sheila wasn't sure either exactly what all happened.

"We may have done a few things we shouldn't have." Sheila said.

Cammy knew that they needed to 'go back' and unfix what they'd fixed.

"We went back and corrected those." Cammy said.

Ally believed they knew a lot more than they claimed they did.

"Did you see Cameron and Young Allison when you were there?" Ally asked.

Cammy wanted to point out the obvious.

"You know they haven't left yet." Cammy said.

Ally figured that since all of this happened in the past it didn't matter if they'd left yet or not. Whenever they did, it already would have happened in the past anyway.

"That didn't answer my question." Ally said. "I bet you were there at the same time they were."

Cammy knew this with shaky ground and they shouldn't walk on it.

"Don't go there." Cammy said again.

Ally didn't think it hurt to ask a few questions. Besides whatever they did in the past was already done and what they knew things to be in the present.

"I'll go where I want." Ally said.

Sheila didn't want to bring Cameron or CamNet down on them.

"Maybe my fist in your mouth will go where I want." Sheila said. "Cammy said, don't go there."

Cammy felt the van swerve recklessly again.

"Park the van before you wreck it." Cammy said. "You've almost piled up twice."

Ally wanted to harp on Sheila's reckless driving.

"Yeah, don't be so 'uptight'." Ally said. "Use your own fist on yourself. Let's see how you like it."

Sheila looked back and pointed to Ally's crotch area

"Let me get my fist in there." Sheila said. "I'll show you 'uptight'."

Ally was still bothered by the experience.

"You're not doing that again." Ally said. "That's unless we switch chips again. You can wreck your own sheath as much as you want then. After that, you'll be known as 'Lucy'."

Sheila wanted to get a hold of Ally's chassis again.

"I dare you to switch." Sheila said.

Ally already knew what she was going to do to Sheila's sheath once she was in her chassis.

"I dare you." Ally said.

Cammy could see that everyone's guard was down. They were ripe for an ambush right now.

"Hey!" Cammy said. "Stop this. We need to focus. There could be Grays or a Terminator around here."

Ally was still flustered at Sheila.

"I'm not afraid of either of them." Ally said.

Sheila was just as upset.

"I'm not either." Sheila said.

Cammy wanted them to see the overall picture.

"What if there are any HK drones or HK Tracks?" Cammy asked. "Do you two love each other or something?"

Ally looked at Sheila and lifted her chin.

"Does it sound like it?" Ally asked.

Cammy knew a lover's quarrel when she heard it.

"Yes." Cammy said. "It looks like it too."

Sheila made a fist at Ally.

"No, I hate her." Sheila said.

Ally made one back at Sheila.

"I hate her more." Ally said.

Cammy was convinced beyond all doubt. They were clearly in love with each other whether they wanted to admit it or not. She figured there was going to be a wild love making session somewhere when they made up with each other. She was sure that each one would try to outdo the other.

"You do love each other!" Cammy said.

Sheila now drove on a dirt road along the back side of the building as they bantered back and forth. The paved road had turned into gravel before it turned into a dirt road.

"No!" They both said at the same time.

Cammy figured that Cameron was on to them. That's why she sent them on this assignment with her. Maybe she wanted them to try to figure out where they all fit in the puzzle.

"Cameron knows this, doesn't she?" Cammy asked.

Ally shrugged her shoulders.

"At this point, what difference does it make?" Ally asked.

Cammy could see things a little more clearly now.

"That's why you switched chassis before." Cammy said.

Ally felt that she'd done Sheila a 'solid'. She allowed Sheila to be like someone she loved and it wasn't her.

"I gave Sheila what she wanted." Ally said. "Sheila wanted to look like 'Cameron'."

Cammy needed to think about all of this. She quickly put it together. Now it all made sense.

"Who switched your chips?" Cammy asked. "It was Cameron who did it for you, wasn't it?"

At the time, Ally and Sheila thought that they'd better clear it first before they did it. They didn't want any negative repercussions later on.

"Yes." Ally said. "We asked her first. She did it for us."

Sheila actually hoped it would be for the 'real thing' once Cameron knew what she wanted.

"I wanted to switch with Cameron." Sheila said. "Not a 'wannabe' copy."

Ally would like to have seen Sheila do what she did to her sheath to Cameron sheath. She knew how that story would have ended.

"Like that's ever going to happen, especially after what you did to my sheath." Ally said.

Sheila felt that she'd offered Cameron something special to share with John. It would have been an opportunity for Cameron to be the virgin that she was sure that she wasn't when she was with John the first time.

"I told Cameron she could make love to John with my chassis." Sheila said. "It would be a thrill for both of them. My chassis has never been touched by a male. It was a just offer that showed my love and how far I would sacrifice to show that love."

Ally pictured what Sheila would try to pull in Cameron's chassis.

"I bet you would have tried to make love to John in Cameron's chassis." Ally said.

Sheila wanted to give Ally something to think about.

"What makes you think I didn't make love to John with your chassis while I pretended to be Cameron?" Sheila asked.

Ally was very upset at the thought Sheila would even joke about stealing her virginity from her. That would be an unforgivable act for any female Terminator to do to another one.

"That's too far, how dare you even say that." Ally said. "I hope Cameron hears that. She will deactivate you herself and I'll help her."

Sheila thought that Ally should think it through a little bit before she got 'chip extraction happy'.

"It would've been your chassis. I bet she'd deactivate you for allowing that." Sheila said.

Ally wanted to make her displeasure perfectly clear.

"I'm going to tell her you did, even if you didn't." Ally said. "I turned my body cam on so John Henry and CamNet could pick that up."

Sheila looked back at the jumble of clothes and equipment.

"You don't even know where it is." Sheila said.

"Do too." Ally said.

"Do not." Sheila said.

Ally quickly looked at the pile of clothes and pulled out a vest, it was Sheila's. She looked further and found hers.

Cammy was dressed but Ally and Sheila were both still completely naked.

She was the only one who had any situational awareness.

"Look!" Cammy said as she pointed. "Stop the van NOW."

"Hey!" Sheila said. "What was that?"

"Trouble…." Ally said. "Head's up…."

Ally tossed Sheila her vest and M4 as she put her vest on.

Cammy already hopped out as soon as she said something. Ally and Sheila followed her. They were naked and only wore their vests. They each carried their M4.

"You look ridiculous." Ally said.

"Not as much as you." Sheila said.

"I look Hot." Ally said.

"Not as Hot as I do." Sheila said.

Cammy didn't like the quick turn of events. She didn't like how unprepared Sheila and Ally were either. She'd just about had enough.

"Quiet." Cammy said. "Or I'll deactivate both of you myself. We're in real danger here."

Cammy looked at their nude figures. Each only wore a vest and held an M4. She decided it did look Hot and not ridiculous. She was going to keep that to herself for now. She just hoped that they all survived whatever was about to happen. If they did, she planned to model that look for Savannah.

You Already Did

Look around
Where did it all go
Nothing is left
Of love not long ago

Forever bound to you
I can't escape
You envelope me no matter
How hard I scrape

I can't hate you
For the love still lingers
I can still feel the touch
Of your gentle fingers

You can't hear me cry
Because you chose not to
But if you call to me
You know I'll come to you

It was not I
That away from you slid
Look in life's mirror
You already did

Nobody
