Chapter 843
Get A Room
Cameron and Savannah were in a Cessna. They followed the railroad tracks towards Las Vegas.
Savannah was the pilot. She'd been distracted somewhat from her flying because Cameron was naked in the seat next to her. Her clothes had been thoroughly trashed from riding underneath the train and lying on top of the couplers between the cars to connect the air lines. There was a fresh set of clothes for her in the rear seat of the Cessna. She finally reached back and retrieved them. There'd been some close physical contact between them during that process. At one point Cameron's naked breasts brushed against Savannah's face. A message was clearly sent through that 'mishap'.
Cameron sat up a little bit in her seat.
"I can see Las Vegas in the distance." Cameron said.
They flew on for a little longer.
"I can see it now. I can see there's one really tall one that stands out above the others." Savannah said. "I see what looks like some other tall buildings anyway."
Cameron spotted something on the railroad tracks in the distance.
"There's a train coming out of Las Vegas headed towards us." Cameron said.
Savannah felt a little sorry for the train crew that they'd stopped multiple times.
"I hope it has to take the siding and not the train we delayed." Savannah said. "Then again, it will give us more time to get into position or do some other things first."
Cameron wasn't sure what John Henry's server would do since it was in control of the CTC and dispatching system.
"We'll see." Cameron said.
Savannah looked over at Cameron. She was still naked. She'd retrieved some clean clothes from the back but still hadn't put them on yet.
Cameron glanced down at her exposed form. She spread her legs slightly.
"Would you like to play a slot machine?" Cameron asked.
Savannah glanced over as Cameron shifted her legs further apart. There was a clear view of a 'slot' in a machine. She moistened her lips slightly before she spoke.
"Yes." Savannah said. "I think I can hit the jackpot."
Cameron glanced over at Savannah.
"I think a lot of 'bell ringing' occurs from inside the machine." Cameron said. "I mean when someone hits the jackpot when they play one."
Savannah glanced over at Cameron and held her gaze.
"I've played a few and the 'bell' definitely rings." Savannah said. "It's always a win for the player."
Cameron smiled at Savannah. She received some new information from CamNet.
"CamNet will give us priority landing status." Cameron said. "Maybe I need to get dressed."
Cameron very slowly started to put some clothes on.
Savannah experienced a little trouble concentrating. Everything Cameron did and said aroused her. She needed to concentrate on her flying a little more since they were near an urban area. Up until this point, CamNet took care of all of the radio traffic for her.
"I need to contact the tower." Savannah said. "I know CamNet has done everything else for me, as me, to get us into the pattern."
Cameron slowly pulled her pants up.
"Do you want to do a 'once around'?" Cameron asked.
They both knew that it was a 'loaded question' with a double meaning.
Savannah looked at Cameron and swallowed hard.
"Yes." Savannah said.
Cameron felt it would give them an opportunity to do some recon at what would be their target area later on.
"We can see all the casinos and overfly the rail yard." Cameron said.
She'd thought Cameron meant something else earlier….
"Oh." Savannah said.
Cameron winked at Savannah after her response.
Savannah swallowed hard and smiled back at Cameron. She managed to give Cameron a wink herself.
Savannah flew past the 'Strip' and over the rail yard, past the 'Downtown Casinos' and around the big tower that jutted up into the sky. To her, Las Vegas appeared to be like any other city except for the big casinos and hotels that were concentrated in a few specific locations. She really wondered how many people's lives were ruined in this city and that didn't even include the quickie divorces that were often granted in that state. She really wondered how people could go there and waste money they didn't even have for other things in their lives. She didn't have any desire to gamble. Even though they were literally millions of dollars available to her to spend, it didn't matter. It was the idea of gambling that disgusted her. People thought they could all hit the 'big one' and get rich quick. As she overflew the casinos, she wondered if anyone ever thought how all of that glitz and glamour was paid for. It wasn't paid for by a rich owner or conglomerate. It was paid for by all the fools who thought that they would leave the city rich. They all left broke. The sad part was that they would all willingly come back and do it again and still think that they were going to hit the 'big one'.
She started her turn to starboard when she spotted something else.
"I see the Air Force Base." Savannah said.
Cameron already spotted the location previously. It brought back some memories for her.
"That's Nellis Air Force Base." Cameron said. "I've been there before."
Savannah was about to ask Cameron what for and when. She was pretty sure that there were nuclear weapons kept at that base.
The tower contacted Savannah now. She spoke with the tower and entered the landing pattern. They were already cleared thanks to CamNet. They touched down a few minutes later. Everything went smoothly.
Cameron gave her instructions on where to go to park the plane. CamNet was able to get everything lined up for them.
Savannah checked over the plane quickly to make sure everything looked OK. CamNet made arrangements to have it fueled. She stuck her head back inside the plane.
"We need to get our gear stashed." Savannah said.
Cameron considered using the dirty clothes that she'd taken off at the beginning of the flight to cover over the weapons and other associated gear temporarily.
"I'm working on it." Cameron said.
Savannah spotted a black SUV moving slowly through the parked planes. It set off a small alarm in her head.
"Unless that's what you're working on…." Savannah said as she pointed. "We're going to have trouble."
It looked like a problem to Savannah. She started to look at some of the weapons they now were in possession of.
Cameron could see that Savannah was a little worried. She wanted to set her mind at ease.
"You can relax. There's no need to worry." Cameron said. "It's our ride."
Cameron stepped out from between the parked planes and flagged the SUV down. She'd picked up her dirty pants as she did.
The driver exited and gave Cameron two sets of keys. She fished around in the pocket of her dirty pants and gave the driver a tip.
The driver's eyes opened wide and his face lit up.
"Wow!" The driver said as he looked at the tip. "Thank You!"
The tip was five, one hundred dollar bills.
Cameron wanted to make sure she received good service. She wanted to make sure everything else that she would need would be provided quickly and with a smile.
"Please bring two more like this one but in different colors." Cameron said. "I need them here in ninety minutes by the jet ramp. That's the parking area for the small jets. They've already been paid for."
"Yes, Ma'am…." The driver said with a smile as he hurried off.
Cameron and Savannah loaded up the back of the SUV with all the 'hardware'. They used Cameron's dirty clothes to hide the weapons when they moved them. They didn't want someone to accidentally see them with weapons at the airport. That would only produce a negative reaction that they didn't need.
Savannah looked at the covered over long guns as they moved them from the plane to the SUV.
"I hope that no one asks us what these are." Savannah said.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She remembered an answer that was used before in a similar situation. It was the year that she opened her bank account at the bank that they used for their time jump from 1999. She'd opened that account in 1963.
"We'll just tell them that they're 'curtain rods'." Cameron said.
Savannah was pretty sure that she'd heard that reference before but couldn't quite place it.
"I have a feeling that somebody else made that statement first." Savannah said.
The incident that was associated with it troubled Cameron slightly.
"They did. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald." Cameron said. "You know the rest of the story, at least the story that was told to the public."
Savannah wondered what the last part of that answer was supposed to mean. She had a feeling that she probably didn't want to really know. She let it slide and didn't ask.
Cameron pulled out the rest of the cash from her dirty clothes. She knew she would be able to turn that into thousands of dollars in minutes in a casino. She'd done it before. Gambling was 'easy money' for her. It would be even easier money for her and she wouldn't even need a penny if she went to one of the electronic gambling machines, CamNet could make the machine pay off even before she touched it. She still liked the personal challenge to beat the house. She was aware that the odds always favored the house. She liked to even those odds on some of the other gambling games.
The SUV was quickly loaded and they were ready to go.
Cameron climbed into the driver's seat, Savannah sat in the passenger's seat and they headed out of the airport.
Cameron and Savannah traded quick looks at each other. There'd been a lot of 'hints' and 'knocking' on the flight over. There'd been so many sexual innuendos exchange between them that there might as well be a neon sign with a big arrow pointed between both of their legs on the dashboard of the SUV.
It was clear Cameron intended to hit the 'jackpot' in Las Vegas. It wouldn't happen on the gambling floor for her either. It would happen in a bed in a room. She knew that's what she needed right now. She needed to get a room. She glanced over at Savannah and lightly moistened her lips. She knew what she wanted to try.
The jet was flown by Gail and John Henry. John was in the back of the plane with Cammy Sheila and Ally.
Ally glanced out of one of the windows. She was a little surprised at what she'd spotted.
"Look at those reddish rocks." Ally said.
Cammy and John looked out the window. They both knew that there should have been mostly desert below them.
John knew what it was right away when he looked out the window. He was instantly agitated. He knew that wasn't right. At least it wasn't where they should have seen on their flight to Las Vegas.
"That's the Grand Canyon." John said. "That's out of our way."
John was a little upset now that they were being delayed. He was sure Cameron was behind it.
Cammy arrived at the same conclusion as John. It appeared as if someone wanted to sideline them. She got up from her seat.
"Cameron has us on a detour." Cammy said. "Let me find out what's happening."
Gail saw Cammy walk up towards the cockpit.
"Don't even ask." Gail said. "It's out of our hands."
Cammy noticed neither John Henry nor Gail actually flew the plane. Neither one of them currently touched any of the controls. She figured she knew what was happening.
"Does CamNet have control?" Cammy asked.
John Henry looked a little frustrated himself. There wasn't much he could do about it from his current position in the cockpit.
"Yes." John Henry said. "She took control fifteen minutes ago. We were instructed not to say anything unless we were specifically asked. CamNet or Cameron appears to want to delay our arrival or John's arrival anyway."
Cammy returned to John.
"Cameron or CamNet is giving us a tour for a while." Cammy said. "CamNet has control of the plane."
John felt powerless to act. He doubted he had much, if any, influence with CamNet.
"Nice." John said.
John knew there was little they could do without angering Cameron. He believed that she was the one behind it for whatever reason that was. He was sure of two things. The first one was that nothing was going to change if he said anything. The second one was that all it would do is enrage Cameron if he challenged her. He decided to let everything play out.
"I guess we're along for the ride." John said.
Cammy didn't think it was a total loss. She'd learned from Savannah that beauty could be found in many things other than another individual.
"You can enjoy the show." Cammy said. "I'll give you the choice to decide which view you would rather look at right now."
Cammy moved to where Ally and Sheila changed at earlier. She proceeded to strip and change her clothes in John's view. She made quite a show out of it.
Ally and Sheila moved back next to John, who tried not to look.
Sheila wanted John to calm down some. It was clear he was pretty high strung right now.
"Relax, love." Sheila said. "She did say to 'enjoy the show'…. I know I'm going to."
Ally felt a lot of frustration as she watched Cammy strip and change her clothes. She could see John look a little more intently at Cammy then he'd done at her earlier.
"You just saw the SAME thing a few minutes ago when I changed." Ally said. "I still don't know how she looks better than me."
John realized that he did look a little more intently at Cammy than he had Ally. He didn't want any animosity between the girls or hard feelings. He especially didn't want either of those directed at him by anyone. He figured he would receive plenty of them from Cameron soon enough.
"You look fine, Ally." John said. "I think you're very beautiful and attractive."
Ally thought she should at least let John 'cop a feel' for that nice answer.
Sheila didn't want to be upstaged. She lifted her top and flashed everyone.
"I look better than you." Sheila said. "AND I look Hotter."
"Do not…." Ally said.
"Do so..." Sheila said.
Cammy didn't care for the interruption during her personal show.
"Get a room." Cammy said curtly.
John didn't like the way things were headed.
"Please, don't argue." John said.
Sheila started to pull her top down. She lifted it back up and flashed John again.
"It's anything for you, love." Sheila said.
Ally looked at John and winked.
"Anything…." Ally said.
John wondered how far they would actually be willing to go.
"Do you mean 'anything'?" John asked.
The girls radiated sexuality.
"ANYTHING…." Ally and Sheila both said at the same time.
Cammy wanted to remind John that the Metal girls would be very 'responsive' to him if 'asked'.
"Be careful, John." Cammy said. "They CAN'T say 'no'. It's in their programming. All of the females are at your 'command', even the human ones."
John was told the same thing by Cameron many times. He wondered if it was really true or not. He'd been afraid to 'ask' to see if it was true. He was afraid that once he did that the Metal girl wouldn't stop until the deed was done. He wondered if that applied to Cameron's clones as well.
"How about you, Cammy, are you included?" John asked.
Cammy flashed John her beautiful 'million dollar smile'.
"I WON'T say 'no', even if I could." Cammy said. "Everything that you want is right here. It's ready and waiting."
Cammy was almost 'with' John once before when he thought it was Savannah in the dark. She'd deceived him then. She was ready to give it a go now as 'herself'. She wanted to show John she could be a better lover than Cameron.
She was aware what Cameron really wanted and would try to take Savannah away from her. A little 'payback' would be poetic justice. She would really like to show Cameron where John's 'little soldiers' were at inside of her sheath. She needed to come up with a better plan of attack. She still needed to get John's 'little soldiers' inside of her before she could do that.
Cameron and Savannah headed to a casino hotel a little ways off from the airport. They parked the SUV and headed for the front desk.
Savannah thought everything looked really nice inside the hotel. She thought as a hotel it was beautiful. The only trouble was that she could hear the sounds of gambling going on in the casino attached to the lobby.
Cameron entered a series of numbers into a keypad. There was a 'VIP package' waiting for her. She picked it up and they headed for the elevator.
There was a special express elevator for the top floors. It could only be accessed by a card key or a series of numbers entered into the keypad above the elevator buttons.
"What floor are we on?" Savannah asked. "I have to say that this place is really nice."
Cameron looked over at Savannah and smiled. She wanted to give Savannah a surprise once they reached their destination. She decided to have some fun in the process.
"We have the top floor." Cameron said. "We have the Master Suite."
Savannah was a little unsure about Cameron's answer. The fact that they had a suite on the top floor was rather intriguing even if it was unnecessary.
"We have a suite?" Savannah asked. "It sounds expensive."
Cameron wanted to treat Savannah like a queen.
"I want nothing but the best for you." Cameron said.
They reached the top floor and exited into the hall.
Cameron led Savannah to a room and stopped at the door.
Savannah stared at the sign on the door for a few seconds before she turned and looked at Cameron.
"It says 'Honeymoon Suite' on the door." Savannah said.
Cameron looked at Savannah with a very serious look on her face and then she smiled.
"What a surprise." Cameron said as she opened the door. "I hope that the sign is very prophetic."
Savannah was about to respond when another event caught her by surprise.
The next surprise was when Cameron swept Savannah off her feet and carried her across the threshold. She set Savannah down once they were inside.
"That was a surprise." Savannah said.
Cameron gave Savannah a sly glance.
"Life is full of them." Cameron said.
Savannah looked around the room with some awe.
"This room is gigantic." Savannah said.
Savannah looked around at everything and the smaller rooms that adjoined it. There were treats and bottles of alcohol here and there.
Cameron could see Savannah was thrilled with the luxury. She knew Savannah's room was very simple and Savannah collected very few possessions. She knew this was a big change for Savannah from the way she wanted to live her life.
In fact none of the girls from the future did either. They'd learned when they needed to flee Skynet Terminators or a group of Scavengers that they were forced to leave everything behind and RUN for their life. Since no one could actually hang on to anything for very long, there was no point having anything other than what one required to stay alive.
Savannah looked out of one of the giant picture windows. It extended from the floor to the ceiling with a glass balcony so the view wasn't blocked.
"Look at this view." Savannah said. "It's beautiful, Cameron."
Cameron didn't look out of the window.
'YES it is.' Cameron thought as she looked at Savannah.
Cameron knew there was a way to provide Savannah with a life like this. It could happen in various cities or countries around the world. She wouldn't have any trouble obtaining money in the past. She would simply use the same methods that she used now to acquire cash.
"Let me take you back into the past and you can live like this everyday. You can live on room service." Cameron said. "You'll never have another worry."
Savannah knew that option was available anytime all of the time. The past wasn't where her future was destined to be.
"I'd like that, Cameron, but that's not my destiny." Savannah said. "I can't protect the future or John in the past."
Cameron was very aware that's what she was doing. She was from the future and now she was in the past.
"I am." Cameron said.
Savannah felt a little frustration. Duty would lead her forward not backwards. She absentmindedly reached down and touched her lower belly.
"I guess you are at that." Savannah said. "I need to use my body to provide for those who can't provide for themselves. There are those that I need to help in the present. I'm going to do that."
Savannah looked at Cameron.
Cameron knew she referred to her. She felt very guilty. She didn't believe that she would ever be able to take a baby out of Savannah's arms for herself no matter how much she wanted it. She looked over towards the bathroom area. It was quite substantial and contained several rooms.
"I need to get cleaned up." Cameron said.
There was a knock at the door.
Savannah quickly looked at the door. She didn't think they were expecting visitors.
"Answer it. There's no need to worry." Cameron said. "It's some food and nicer clothes for us."
Savannah drew her Taser and approached the door. She figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
Savannah peered out the peep hole in the door. There was a female outside with a cart. She put her Taser away behind her back.
"Open it." Cameron said as she walked over and placed some money in Savannah's hand.
There was a food cart and several packages.
"Congratulations." The attendant said as she indicated the 'Honeymoon Suite' sign on the door.
Savannah smiled to herself at what that represented.
"Thanks…." Savannah said as she moved the cart inside the door. "I'll take it from here."
Savannah smiled at her and gave her a tip.
The attendant's eyes widened when she looked in and saw Cameron standing there naked.
"Thank You." The attendant said as she eyeballed Cameron. "And I REALLY mean Congratulations."
Savannah thanked her again and closed the door. She moved the cart further into the room.
Cameron looked in the boxes at the clothes. She liked to pick her own clothes out but these were much better than the pieces of clothing donated by her fellow Terminators at the railroad construction site. They've been able to come up with a complete set of clothing for her from what they'd found inside the trucks that they'd appropriated.
"I need to shower…." Cameron said. "It's a really, really big shower. The tub is beautiful too."
It was a clear invitation for Savannah to join her.
Cammy finished dressing and sat back down near John. She looked at both Sheila and Ally as she did. It was clearly a challenge to both of them.
Just to see Cammy naked made John want to ask a question. He doubted he would get a straight answer.
"Have you ever 'switched' before?" John asked.
Cammy quickly realized John's question referenced Cameron and her. She thought that she could be a little mysterious and coy with her answer. She wanted to see how much it really mattered to him. Maybe any warm naked body was all that mattered to him. It would get the job done so did it really matter who it was? What if the lights were off or he closed his eyes? It wouldn't matter who it was then. All that would matter was something that was smooth, soft, warm and tight.
"Does it matter?" Cammy asked. "If everyone enjoyed themselves, that's all that mattered."
John wanted a better answer.
"No, really…." John said. "Have you?"
Sheila and Ally exchanged glances but didn't say anything.
Cammy thought about her answer before she spoke.
"Yes. I've switched before." Cammy said.
John's eyes widened. There was a look of excitement on his face.
"Really…?" John asked. "So we have…?"
Cammy liked the look on John's face.
"I've switched before with Cam, Camille and Ally." Cammy said.
John wanted a little better answer than that. He wanted to know for sure.
"But not with Cameron?" John asked.
Ally thought John should back off a little bit.
"John, you don't need to ask about her sex life. That should be private for everyone. If they want to say what they've done, that's up to them. It's not up to you." Ally said. "If you want some, Sheila and I are available."
Sheila didn't think what the girls did was a secret from anyone.
"You know the girls all make time for each other." Sheila said. "We're one big happy family."
John looked out the window. He still didn't get the answer that he wanted from Cammy. He thought it was best to drop the issue for now.
"Where are we now?" John asked.
John Henry had a clear view of their location from the cockpit.
"We're over southern Utah." John Henry called back.
John realized he must have heard all their conversation as well. He really wanted the discussion to go in a different direction at this point.
"What can we expect to see down there?" John asked.
"It looks like a tour of the southern Utah National Parks. We'll pass over Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion to name a few." John Henry said. "The flight path takes us past them on your side of the plane."
Those were all locations that John heard about but never visited himself.
"OK, I know we don't get out much for this." John said. "Where's the train at?"
John Henry didn't think that they would have a problem with the train. He could still have his server give it a red signal at any point.
"It is still a few hours away from Las Vegas." John said. "We'll arrive before it does."
John thought that was actually up to CamNet and their fuel load.
"We hope." John said.
John Henry could tell that John was irritated. He thought that he should point out the reason for what was happening. It was actually John's fault.
"John, because you're doing this, Cameron wants more Terminators on the ground before you arrive." John Henry said. "She's worried about your safety and wants to make sure you're protected."
John didn't think he needed any babysitters. He wasn't disappointed with the ones that he currently was with.
"I get it." John said.
John was aware that by him being out again that it would draw away all of Cameron's help. He knew he endangered both Cameron and Savannah now.
Right now he could enjoy the view out the window and the view of the Metal girls inside the plane. He currently shared his time with the window and Sheila's exposed left breast with the nipple ring.
Cameron look into Savannah's eyes.
"I think my back is dirty." Cameron said.
Savannah knew Cameron wanted 'more'. She wanted Cameron to make the choice.
"Do you need your back washed?" Savannah asked.
Cameron still looked into Savannah's eyes.
"That would be great." Cameron said.
Cameron disappeared toward the massive bathroom area.
Savannah looked at the food and heard the shower running. She hadn't had anything to eat or drink in a while. The food sure looked good.
There was no choice.
There was a greater 'hunger' that called to her….
Savannah started to strip off her clothes. She left a trail of them behind her as each piece was removed. She hurriedly headed for the shower….
We're All A Threat
We know where we are
We know where we need to go
The destination is the same
Whether we go fast or slow
There are few to lead
But many to follow
One can rise up
Or continue to wallow
What do we have
When there's nothing to lose
Time to make a decision
Many choices from which to choose
This is what you've got
So look all around
You're still free
You're not yet bound
A guide into the future
Should be an asset
Instead it seems
We're all a threat
Nobody
