Chapter 894
I Am All For That
John Henry made sure there were security cameras that watched the girls SUV in the parking structure. Not only was it full of weaponry, it also contained a large sum of cash. That was cash that Cammy and the Metal girls collected from the illegal sex traffic trade earlier. They'd just wrapped up that operation when they were directed to back up John on his way to Las Vegas. Once it was determined that they were headed for Las Vegas, the Metal girls decided to bring the cash with them. They figured if they were headed towards 'Sin City' they would be able to significantly increase the amount of that money in no time.
Much to his concern, mainly due to lack of input our control, Cameron often ran those 'off the books' operations outside the scope of the Resistance operation. Most often it was Cameron with Ally and Sheila to back her up. Cammy took Cameron's place on this last mission because Cameron wanted to spend the day with Savannah and Young Allison. From out of nowhere this new operation developed. It appeared to take a new sinister turn at this point.
He watched as Gail climbed into the driver's seat and Cameron stripped off her bathrobe before she climbed in the back. She glanced up at the security camera with her sly little smile and winked. Cameron entered the SUV and closed the door behind her. The SUV drove away at an accelerated pace.
He was treated to a fully frontal view of Cameron naked. He was always fascinated by the sight of the female body, especially when it was unclothed.
When he viewed Cameron naked it made him think about Sheila's earlier offer to swap chassis with him for a day. She'd already informed him that she planned to have sexual relations with all of the Metal girls when she borrowed it. She'd been very specific that 'her chassis' would be the first that she would 'try out'. That meant it would actually be him. He wanted to experience what the female body was actually like. He wasn't sure if you wanted the 'full experience' immediately. There was also the grim prospect that when she actually returned his chassis to him that there may be some 'modifications' to his sheath. He inadvertently and subconsciously reached down and 'readjusted' himself. He shook his head. He hoped it would help him clear his thoughts. It didn't help much.
John Henry zeroed in on Cammy and the Metal girls as they led their pursuers to their doom. There were still only three men following them. There was no sign of 'The Enforcer' yet. If a Terminator didn't show up before they confronted the three men following them, their victory over the Syndicate thugs was all but assured.
The Syndicate thugs that were sent out to rob and rough up the girls were in for a real surprise. They would find out soon enough that they weren't just 'girls' but Metal girls. They wouldn't have any idea what that actually meant until they realized that their lives were almost over. It would still be hard for them to comprehend it all, even as they died. The three thugs were used to easy marks to take down. They were in for a surprise when they actually confronted the Metal girls.
The three Metal girls wanted to take down the threat that continued to follow them. They were able to use their superior Terminator hearing and listen to what the men spoke of. They also felt it was very rude and condescending. There definitely would need to be some type of punishment and retribution for such ideas against females. They heard hushed whispers of the men as they spoke about 'The Enforcer'. That sounded like a Terminator to them. That might be an additional threat. They weren't sure how any of this tied together. It was possible it was just one of the head thugs out of New York or Chicago that arrived to oversee the operation.
This was personal to the Metal girls now. They were being targeted as 'females' and perceived as easy 'marks' by the men and the Syndicate. It was possible the Syndicate would try and capture them and force them into the sex trade. That way the Syndicate could get its money back and make money off the girls until they were 'used up' and disposed of. There was plenty of space available in the desert for additional bodies. Young females were a dime a dozen do the Syndicate bosses. They were simply viewed as money making tools. When they could no longer make money or not make the money fast enough, there was no need to keep them around. It cost money to feed and house them. Sick females were of no use either. A female might even be killed in the room of some individual the Syndicate wanted to 'own'. The mark would be 'caught' by the hotel staff with a 'stiff' in their bed. The Syndicate would offer to make the 'problem' go away for a 'little cooperation'.
Cammy kept a constant watch around her as best as she could. She wanted to do it without actually looking back at the three individuals who trailed them. They were Syndicate thugs. When they made their move on them, it would be the last move of their lives.
"I want to get this over with." Cammy said. "The longer this goes on, the more likely the Syndicate thugs are to get some reinforcements."
The girls came to an alley. They looked down its length. It was dark and isolated. There was no one around. It looked like it would make a secluded killing ground for the Syndicate thugs when they followed them into the dark alley. None of them worried about what was to follow. If the men entered the alley after them, it was obvious what their intentions were. That act would be the signal that they'd just signed their own death warrants. It would clearly indicate that the thugs meant to do them harm.
Ally didn't want to stick around and drag things out any longer than necessary. The thought of reinforcements for the thugs could only mean more damage to them the longer they waited to do something. She was ready to act now.
"Let's head down here." Ally said. "It looks perfect for us."
Cammy wanted to wrap things up. They were at a very workable location
"That way looks dark and deserted." Cammy said. "I like it."
Sheila was ready to switch to a different vision spectrum when necessary. That was one advantage that they held over humans.
"That's even better." Sheila said. "We don't need any light. They will be at a major disadvantage."
Cammy chanced a quick glance behind her. The men were much nearer now.
"They've closed up on us." Cammy said. "They will strike soon."
Ever since the girls left the casino and noticed they'd been targeted, they'd played a little game. It was one they'd used before against the drug lords and sex traffickers. They tried to act as nonthreatening and as innocent as possible. The purpose of that was to make it look like they would be easy marks for anyone who wanted to stop them or rob them as well as assault them.
The Metal girls laughed and giggled as they went along. They appeared to be drunk and unaware as to their impending robbery and possible assault. It always gave the perpetrators the false sense the girls would be easy to take down.
The criminals didn't comprehend that it made their own termination much easier. They always let their guard down in anticipation of an easy 'kill'.
The Metal girls appeared to take a 'wrong turn' and headed down the dark narrow alley.
The three men moved up closer on them. They saw that the girls made a big mistake. Now their job looked like it just got easier. They also knew it would be very rewarding to them personally.
The three thugs followed the girls. This wasn't the first time they'd been sent out to 'bring the money back'. They never failed. Failure wasn't tolerated, especially since some of the new bosses arrived. They were all real hard cases. The new guy that came out of nowhere to oversee everything looked like a stone cold killer most of the time.
"Shouldn't they send 'The Enforcer' out to do this?" The first man asked. "That's his job."
"He may be out of town." The second man said. "He's probably busy if nothing else. Sometimes I wonder if that guy ever sleeps."
"Are we supposed to 'rub them out'?" The first man asked. "They're just three young ladies."
"No. We were just supposed to take back the cash and maybe push them around a little." The leader said. "We don't want them to come back and we don't want them to go to the police."
"They all look pretty Hot." The second man said. "Maybe we can do a little 'more'."
"I'm all for that." The first man said. "There is nothing wrong with a little extra 'stank'."
"Don't you guys get enough?" The leader asked. "With all the runaways we pick up and 'turn' after we string them out on drugs, there's 'fresh meat' almost daily. There are so many through here I don't even try them all anymore. I used to. One or two a day is enough."
"Most of those sluts are 'throw away' street trash." The second man said. "These bitches are High Class. I bet there is not a blister or oozing sore on one of them. You know what I mean too. They all look clean."
"I agree. There's one for each of us." The first man said. "We can switch if we want seconds…."
"I'm going for thirds." The second man said. "I want to see if there's any difference between those two twins."
"They might only be sisters." The leader said. "One looks a lot better than the other one."
"No, I'm sure they're twins." The first man said. "Their bodies are identical. I watched them on the security feeds when they started to win big."
"Maybe that's why they won so big." The second man said. "You watched them instead of how they beat the system."
"You would have done the same." The first man said. "The Asian slut has nipple rings."
"How do you know that?" The second man asked. "That sounds hot."
"It was hot." The first man said. "I watched her adjust her bikini top. I thought she did it just to distract the dealer. He was distracted."
"The dealer doesn't sound like the only one who was distracted." The second man said. "We're out here now because you failed to identify how they cheated us."
"You would have done the same if you were me." The first man said. "A firm, perky breast with a nipple ring will do that to anyone."
"Hey look." The leader said. "They just made a wrong turn. They're headed down that deserted alley. This just got better real quick."
"Now we don't have to drag them anywhere to get some." The second man said. "I'm already getting a rise just thinking about it."
"I got the Asian one first." The first man said. "She looks like a real hot ticket. I really like that trim and compact figure. I can't wait to get my hands on her. I wonder which one of them will be the best."
"We're about to find out." The leader said. "I like this job."
The three 'Heavies' all checked their pistols. They were all snub nose revolvers. The guns would get them the cash back and maybe a little more….
Gail drove the SUV toward the area the Metal girls were headed. She watched Cameron as she dressed in the back seat and armored up as well.
Cameron put Gail's vest on the front seat, along with her M4, Taser and a Beretta M9.
"We're headed toward where we last saw them on the security footage." Gail said as she tucked her M9 and Taser away while she drove.
Cameron wanted to make sure that Gail was protected when they arrived near the area they expected to find the Metal girls.
"Put your vest on." Cameron said. "I'll steady the steering wheel."
Cameron reached forward on Gail's left side. She took hold of the steering wheel as Gail leaned over to her right and slipped her vest on.
"Thanks." Gail said.
Gail sat up straight again and took the wheel. Her speed never slowed. They wanted to reach the Metal girls as quickly as possible.
Cameron looked around the area as they neared what should be the intercept point.
"I don't see them." Cameron said. "Based on the direction and speed they were traveling, they should be in the vicinity of that next traffic light."
Gail knew they were operating blind on this one. They couldn't receive any information from John Henry or from the Metal girls themselves because of the Skynet jamming field. It blocked all of their communications. John Henry in turn blocked everyone else's communications.
"They may have taken a side street, alley or crossed to the other side." Gail said.
Cameron didn't believe that the girls would 'run'. They would look for a spot where they could terminate the three thugs and not be observed by anyone or draw a crowd.
"I think they've led their pursuers into some place deserted." Cameron said. "It will be sunrise soon. This is the quietest time in Las Vegas. The 'Witching Hour' has passed."
Gail was aware that things could heat up very fast. Personal experience showed that any operation to go hot in the blink of an eye.
"I wonder how long it will be 'quiet'." Gail said as she glanced at her M4.
Cameron felt their selection of weapons gave them a distinct advantage in every encounter. They used silenced or suppressed firearms whenever they could.
"We each have a suppressed M4." Cameron said. "You have the silencer for your M9 in your vest."
Gail didn't think it was their team that would raise a ruckus.
"We can strike quietly but will the thugs?" Gail asked.
Cameron was pretty sure how the Metal girls would deal with the situation on their own if they weren't there in time to reinforce them. They were all Terminators after all. Human targets were not a threat to them, especially when they didn't know what a Terminator was.
"If they get close enough to the girls or us, we won't need firearms." Cameron said.
The Metal girls already made a plan as to what they would do. They were able to discuss it at an audio level that a human couldn't hear.
Their goal was to use the isolation and darkness of the alley to confront their attackers. They hoped to use a ploy and trap the thugs between them.
The Metal girls split up as soon as they rounded the corner when they entered the alley.
Sheila fell back and took up a hiding spot next to an overflowing dumpster. One corner of the backside of it wasn't completely touching the wall behind it. It was able to give her a little bit more concealment that way.
Cammy and Ally ran down the alley a hundred feet to make the men pick up their speed and commit to going after them.
Sheila would move out from behind her place of concealment and 'close the door' behind them and block the thugs retreat.
The hunters were about to become the hunted.
Cammy and Ally moved into the middle of the alley to better be seen.
There was a dim street light somewhere outside the end of the alley. It gave off enough light to barely silhouette the girls. The three thugs should be able to spot them as soon as they came around the corner and looked down the alley.
The three Syndicate thugs couldn't believe their good fortune. The three young bimbos just 'delivered' themselves to them on a silver platter. Now they could be robbed and assaulted and no one would see or know.
"Let's move." The leader said. "We've got them now."
The three men all hurried around the corner.
"Hey, they're already part way down." The second man said.
"Maybe they made us." The first man said.
"They aren't running." The leader said as he looked around. "It sure is dark in here."
"They won't be able to identify us then." The first man said. "I'm 'doing' all three of them."
"I only see two of them." The leader said.
"I saw all three of them turn in here." The second man said. "The other one might have run ahead. She could be up against the back of the buildings too."
"We need to hurry. She might try and run away." The first man said.
"Let's move." The leader said.
The three men hurried down the alley. They passed by Sheila's position without even looking in her direction. They'd developed target fixation and were intent on getting the cash and some 'slash'.
The 'cat' was now the 'mouse', Sheila thought. She smiled as she watched the men pass her. The funny part about that was the thugs didn't even know that the tables just turned on them. She'd heard what they said they were going to do. If they were three human girls it wouldn't be pretty for them. They weren't human girls, they were Terminators.
Gail rapidly hurried towards the intercept point where the Metal girls should be. So far they'd been unable to spot them. She spotted something else as well. It may have been their targets.
"That might have been the three men trailing them that just headed into the alley." Gail said.
Cameron looked over the target area where the three thugs just turned. The plan the girls would use on the thugs became evident to her in an instant. She knew the Metal girls were about to 'take care of business'.
"The girls are going to ambush them." Cameron said. "One will stay behind to trap them, while the other two lead the men to their doom."
Gail wanted to know how Cameron wanted to play it. The direct approach would be to drive into the alley behind the men. That would also be the most obvious. A bold move like that might provoke them into some type of action that they previously weren't going to do.
"Do we go in off the street or move around in front of them?" Gail asked.
Cameron wanted the alley to remain the killing zone. She would enter from one side while Gail blocked the other. The three thugs wouldn't leave that alley, not alive anyway.
"Let me off on this side street. I'll head into the alley from the way they went in." Cameron said. "I want you to head down the side street and turn right at the next intersection. You should find where the alley's exit is. That way we'll make sure no one comes out alive."
Cameron grabbed her M4 and another vest to hide her M4 a little better. She would hand the vest to one of the Metal girls.
Gail made the turn and stopped. Cameron set two more vests in the front seat and bailed out.
They hope to be able to get some protection on the Metal girls before any shooting started.
Gail took off with the Escalade.
Cameron headed for the alley on foot.
Their play was in motion now.
Cameron wanted some answers. She wanted to find out what the Skynet involvement was in any of this. It also occurred to her that the thugs may not know who their new puppet masters were. She didn't believe that Skynet would play its hand as Skynet. It would try to use a more clandestine approach to make the Syndicate operatives more compliant.
Sheila watched the three men pass by her place of concealment in a hurry. She heard what they planned to 'do' to them. This would make her work much more pleasurable once they were apprehended. She let them pass and was about to step out from behind the dumpster when she heard the sound of someone running from the street.
She didn't know who it was yet and she didn't want to tip her hand that she was there. It was most likely some reinforcements for the three thugs. She really didn't think it would matter that much. Whoever it was would simply become another target. There was one other possibility that crossed her mind. It wasn't a pleasant thought either
Sheila decided to hang back. It was possible it was going to be her biggest threat. The running footsteps might be 'The Enforcer' that she'd heard the thugs speak of. If it was, it was bad news. That changed the whole dynamic of everything.
Cammy and Ally glanced back and saw the three men hurrying after them. It appeared that part of the plan worked perfectly. There was another part of the plan that hadn't fallen into place like it was discussed before they'd separated. Sheila hadn't yet made her appearance behind them. She should have. That meant there was a problem….
Maybe 'The Enforcer' that the men discussed earlier was about to arrive. He may have actually been closer than they thought. That would indicate a negative turn of events for them. They were quickly able to detect an additional threat. The new threat was in front of them.
There was the sound of a vehicle as it approached from up ahead of them and the way out of the alley. They could hear it but there were no headlights that danced on the street in front of the alley's exit.
They saw the dark shape of an SUV turn into the alley in front of them. It clearly blocked their path forward. That had also been their means of an emergency escape if things escalated behind them. Now it appeared that they'd just been 'one upped'.
Sheila still wasn't behind the men yet.
The new threat of the approaching SUV drew closer.
Maybe 'The Enforcer' was about to arrive in the SUV.
Cammy and Ally were boxed in and weaponless.
What looked like an easy take down only a few seconds ago was now going to be more involved. It appeared they were all going to be damaged at some point during this escapade.
John and Savannah were still both fast asleep. Unaware they were even in the same room, let alone the same bed. Both were naked and only inches apart.
Their future and their destiny were about to come to fruition when they both awoke. The new day drew closer.
The future was coming….
I Am All For That
When two people first meet
Everyone knows what for
There's only one purpose
Everyone wants a little more
Once that goal is reached
Where does any of it go
Things slack off very fast
Everyone reaches a plateau
Most are ready to move on
The next one is always close
Things grow dull and morose
Right before one hears 'adios'
Is the grass ever greener
On the other side of the hill
It must not be the way
Since no one gets their fill
One needs to beware
They don't end up a doormat
When it's time pull the plug
I am all for that
Nobody
