Chapter 898

Go Slow

Cameron warned John Henry to watch the 'Metal Bitch'. She was sure she was up to no good. As to how she was tipped off, they didn't know. There seemed to be a lot about this operation that they didn't know. It was like all the others but worse somehow. This one seemed to have a long range of operations with nationwide and even global implications. Maybe the worst part of it all was the fact that they literally stumbled into the middle of it. It was only because the Syndicate was greedy for money that pulled them into it.

"I want to know where that 'Metal Bitch' is at all the time." Cameron said. "I want to know where she's going before she gets there. Don't lose her."

John Henry was aware that the 'Metal Bitch' might be headed for his location, their location. Maybe his connections weren't as secure as he thought they were. Maybe they were able to detect the increased energy usage for the extra monitors he was using. Maybe they just got lucky. Maybe it was nothing. The target casino was more or less across the street anyway. It would be hard to tell where the 'Metal Bitch' was actually headed or would end up. If she was on the Strip, she could literally turn either direction to go to her casino or show up at theirs. There wouldn't be a whole lot of time to make that call.

His main concern was now with John and Savannah. They were alone and unaware of any impending disaster. That was 'if' the 'Metal Bitch' was headed their way and not back to her own casino. He would try to get Cameron to agree to get John up to speed with all the latest developments. There'd been quite a few things that happened since John went to bed.

"Do you want me to alert John?" John Henry asked. "I think that would be advisable. There have been a few developments since he went to sleep. He needs to know what's happening."

Cameron thought about it for a few seconds. She looked over towards the east and the rising sun as it came up over the mountains. She wondered if John was currently pounding away on top of Savannah. She wondered if Savannah would look at the mirrors like she'd done earlier and watch as John took her. She didn't even know if Savannah was going to like it or enjoy what happened. That was her biggest fear. She'd read in Cosmo that there were quite a few females who didn't care for traditional sex. She thought that was probably attributed to their partners who were unable to deliver a 'finish' for them. There were many times when John didn't deliver for her. There was still enough though to make her go back for more. She needed to clear her mind. It was all over the place. She needed to refocus. She quickly did so.

"No." Cameron said. "I don't want him disturbed."

John Henry felt that was a mistake. He didn't believe Cameron thought everything through properly. He didn't want to call her out but he needed to. He believed it was an issue of the greatest importance for the safety of everyone involved.

"I think he should be made aware of the situation." John Henry said. "You aren't following proper protocol, Cameron."

Cameron was worried for the safety of John and Savannah. She also knew that they needed to mate. Once they tried it one time they were bound to try it again. That was what she wanted. She didn't want Savannah to have a rushed or 'bad' first experience. If she did, that is all that she would remember about it. It would forever taint her view on traditional sex. She was done thinking about this. John Henry needed to follow her orders. That was the bottom line.

"Don't worry about it. If the 'Metal Bitch' actually shows up at our casino or our hotel, you can." Cameron said. "Until that time, he's not to be disturbed."

John Henry was sure Cameron wasn't thinking clearly. He believed that she'd developed 'target fixation' on her goal to complete part of her mission into the past. He understood how she thought and her thinking process but it shouldn't be done so it endangered John and Savannah. It just wasn't the right thing to do. Maybe he could give her a heads up as to what might have occurred or was currently in progress.

"Do you want me to go over and check on him?" John Henry asked.

He thought that it was prudent to only mention John and not Savannah for the 'check up'.

Cameron thought maybe she should have left a body cam in the room. She didn't want to spy on them. She wanted Savannah and John to have their privacy. She was unsure about John Henry's proposal. It was sort of the same type of violation.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

John Henry felt they should have some type of 'heads up' if things started to go bad. Maybe only he needed to know.

"I can check for myself and not tell you…." John Henry said. "If you choose not to know, I won't say anything unless there's a problem."

Cameron was worried about John and Savannah's safety. She just hated to intrude.

"I don't know." Cameron said. "Just don't disrupt them."

John Henry was sure that Cameron's hand must be glitching at this point. He wondered at some point if his hand might start. He wanted the best for Savannah and John too. He also didn't want them threatened or put in unnecessary danger. He came to the conclusion that everything in life was a 'trade off' of some type.

He was pretty sure that once things started that they would conclude rather rapidly, at least on the first time. John would need a few minutes before he was able to give it another shot.

Ally and Sheila were almost to the location the manager gave to them. It was where the females were taken and forced to be compliant. They were both aware how reluctant females were forced into submission and to accept their new role in life. It was through multiple and repeated assaults, usually one after another for days on end. It was something that neither one of them really wanted to think about but they knew that they would find some version of it anyway.

Sheila's sadistic side also was laced with traces of compassion since she shared the 'Neural Interface' with Jesse. She was aware of what happened to Jesse and how it made her feel. She understood every one of those girls felt the same thing.

"We don't know what we will find when we get there." Sheila said. "Probably it will be a bunch of ruined lives and destroyed futures."

Ally wondered why Sheila was troubled by this. This type of operation they were on now was nothing new to them. It was no different than a typical sex trafficking operation at this point. She decided to try and ease Sheila's thoughts.

"We don't even know if this information is good." Ally said.

Sheila had confidence in her 'enhanced interrogation' techniques. She knew that the information she obtained was valid.

"It was good alright." Sheila said. "He told the truth. I make them talk. It's the same with all of them."

Ally watched what Sheila did to the manager. She didn't disagree with it at all. She really disliked him and she disliked everything in his past even more.

"I guess he didn't try hard enough then." Ally said.

Sheila did know that he tried hard enough. In his case that wasn't the issue. There needed to be retribution for what he was responsible for all the years of abuse and his affiliation with the Syndicate. Females didn't need to be treated like objects just because of how they were born. That was wrong on any level and in any place.

"That was his 'punishment' for what was done to the girls." Sheila said. "This is no different than the sex traffickers we took down yesterday. You know I always like to let them know I'm thinking about them…."

Ally thought about the events earlier in the day, which actually was now yesterday.

"That seems like a long time ago." Ally said. "A lot has happened in eighteen hours."

Sheila thought in some cases that time itself was irrelevant. One operation blended into the next one and into the next one….

"Sometimes it seems like eighteen seconds ago." Sheila said.

Ally wanted to keep their arrival clandestine. She thought it would be better if they could take the location by surprise. It was very early in the morning still. Most likely everyone would be asleep. She wanted to keep it that way.

"I think we should park two blocks away and walk in." Ally said.

Sheila would like to get a little overview of what the situation was before they arrived on foot.

"Maybe we should do a drive by." Sheila said. "Unless you think the van may be compromised."

Ally really didn't know what to think. It seemed everything could play out in more than one way.

"If the 'Metal Bitch' was on her way back, it could be." Ally said. "I bet she hated dumping the four young teenage girls. They may have been lucky tonight but I doubt that their luck will last more than a few days before someone picks them up. At some point they'll get hungry or need a place to sleep. They'll be told they have one commodity that they can trade for both of those things. That's how it starts. Every female comes equipped with 'Nature's Treasury'."

Sheila thought of her earlier observations when she was on the street both walking and driving in Las Vegas.

"There seems to be an endless supply in this town. When it comes down to it, I really don't think much has changed since the beginning of time for females." Sheila said. "OK, we can walk in."

Ally wanted another update to make sure where they were headed was clear.

"John Henry, where's the 'Metal Bitch' at?" Ally asked.

John Henry tracked the female Terminator and saw that she kept off of the Strip itself. There were many more signals on the Strip than the streets they ran on either side of it in a general north-south direction.

"She is on a street that parallels the casinos." John Henry said. "She's about ten minutes out."

Sheila wondered about an interception by the team that just left.

"What about Cameron's team?" Sheila asked.

John Henry tracked everything on a satellite overlay map on one of his monitors. He calculated the distance and the closing speed.

"They're about five minutes behind her." John Henry said. "Four minutes…."

Ally knew the Cameron's team was close but she didn't know if it was close enough to catch the 'Metal Bitch'. She needed to focus on what they were about to do. She wanted any updates.

"We're about to head in on foot to our target area." Ally said. "Have you picked up any activity? Is anything different?"

John Henry already took some preemptive action when the manager confirmed the location that one of the three thugs gave them earlier.

"No, everything is quiet." John Henry said. "I have a jamming field in place for ten blocks around them. They should still be in the dark about everything."

Sheila and Ally we're almost to the location on foot.

"We're moving in now." Sheila said. "If anything changes with Cameron's team or with you, let us know."

Nobody mentioned Savannah or John. It was clear to all of them what was 'happening' or most likely already 'finished'.

The 'Natural Order' appeared that it was about to establish itself.

It was as Cameron told all of them it would be. It was her mission.

Cameron wanted to get back to their hotel. She drove very recklessly. Nothing else seemed to matter at this point. It was reckless enough to cause concern among the other Terminators.

Cammy knew that they needed a vehicle to get where they were going. She didn't want it disabled needlessly.

"Don't wreck it, Cameron." Cammy said. "We need to get there in one piece."

Cameron knew that sometimes she needed to take chances to make up time. She was usually lucky in that regard but not always.

"If we have an accident, I'll acquire another vehicle." Cameron said. "It won't be the first time I've done it."

Cammy and Gail wondered about that. Cameron conducted quite a few operations on her own accord.

"Just watch out running the red lights." Cammy said. "That's how you get 'T-Boned'."

Gail would prefer for Cameron to use a little more caution as well.

"We're making good time." Gail said. "Cammy is correct to express the use of caution. A traffic altercation will only slow us down more, even if we acquire a new vehicle. Do the math and you will see she's correct."

Cameron didn't want to argue with Cammy or Gail. She knew they were correct but she wanted to make time. She wanted that 'Metal Bitch'. She wanted to make sure John and Savannah weren't in danger. She wanted John and Savannah to do something else too. She wanted to use traffic management to further slow down the female Terminator.

"John Henry, where's the 'Metal Bitch'?" Cameron asked. "Give her red lights if you can."

John Henry tracked both vehicles. He was surprised at the amount of distance Cameron was able to close up on the female Terminator.

"I've been doing that. She may be going to her casino." John Henry said. "You have closed the distance dramatically. You are only ninety seconds behind her at this point."

Cameron blew through another red light. A car that crossed on the green light almost hit them. That car had the right of way. It swerved and hit a fire hydrant. She looked in her mirror and saw a geyser of water shoot into the air. The water reached the power lines and caused a blinding flash as the water shorted out the power lines. The street lights around them went out but the signals still functioned.

Cammy thought that should be a two way street on 'traffic management'. John Henry knew where they were at since he could track them.

"John Henry, are you giving Cameron green lights?" Cammy asked. "We keep hitting red ones."

John Henry attempted to anticipate where Cameron would be at any particular point in time.

"Yes." John Henry said. "I'm trying."

Gail wondered about that since there'd been so many red lights for them.

"Does that mean someone else is giving her red lights?" Gail asked.

John Henry tried to clear the path for Cameron. It didn't always work out. He didn't believe that was entirely his fault either.

"No, she's out of sequence." John Henry said. "Her erratic driving isn't helping either."

Cameron didn't want to hear any excuses or make any herself.

"I need to protect John." Cameron said.

John Henry tracked the female Terminator to the point where she was near her casino.

"The 'Metal Bitch' has stopped." John Henry said. "She was about to turn into her casino."

Cameron was confused by John Henry's statement.

"Stopped? What would she stop for?" Cameron asked. "Is she on foot?"

John Henry watched as the female Terminator made a U-turn.

"She's turning around." John Henry said.

Cameron needed more clarity from John Henry's statement.

"Do you mean to come back in our direction?" Cameron asked.

John Henry was a little concerned about the latest development.

"No, she is headed for…." John Henry started.

There was only silence.

Cameron slammed her fist down onto the counsel next to her seat. It was smashed into plastic splinters.

"DAMN!" Cameron said. "We just lost communications again."

Cameron increased her speed.

Cammy and Gail didn't feel fear. Cameron's current driving did worry both of them greatly. If they knew what fear was, it was what they currently felt. In reality Cameron's driving scared both of them.

It seemed at the same time the 'Metal Bitch' changed directions, the Skynet jamming field was restarted. They didn't know if the 'Metal Bitch' was headed towards them or towards John. Maybe the fact John Henry was in the local system to change the traffic lights alerted some version of Skynet to his exact location. Maybe that was why they kept getting red lights when they should be green.

Everything could be compromised now.

The main trouble with all of that is they still had no idea what was happening right now.

Ally and Sheila moved along the street. They were slowly lit by the impending sunrise. It didn't appear they took in the beauty of the sun that was soon to rise. Most of the time for them each minute or the time of day was simply the minute after the one before it and that was all. Sometimes the 'Allison' and 'Jesse' in them was prevalent and they were better able to experience things that were important to humans. Right now wasn't that time. They were both Terminators in their present state of mind. They were about to do what they were constructed for.

Currently it was time to get to work. There was a job to do and it was one they'd done many times. They'd been to places like this before. They may be able to free some females, they may find some dead. Others would be scarred for life and end up as drug addicts or take their own lives. Some of them were able to drive through the pain and begin to relive life as it was intended.

They took the location under direct observation. It was time to act.

They usually did things the same way at different locations and tried to stick with that going forward. The current location would be no exception.

"I'll take the back." Ally said.

Sheila liked to go in the front door.

"I'll take the front then." Sheila said.

They looked at the house.

"That's a small house." Ally said.

Sheila looked around the house and the street. There was one thing that was missing.

"I don't see any other vehicles around." Sheila said. "This is where they string the girls out on drugs to keep them compliant. That's until they use them or kill them and then blame it on some unsuspecting slob."

Ally was all too aware of the techniques that were used to gain compliance and submission.

"The manager said the girls were all forced to 'submit' prior to being 'used' in the hotel." Ally said. "It's the same scenario we face with the sex traffickers. The girls are abused over and over until they accept their fate. We've seen it before. They all break at some point."

Sheila felt justified for her earlier actions. Termination alone was too good for anyone involved in the sex trade. There needed to be some atonement for what they'd done in the past to the females.

"That's why I did what I did to the manager." Sheila said. "I would have liked to have done it to all three of those thugs in the alley."

Ally saw what Sheila did to the first thug in the alley. He got what he deserved.

"It all has to end somewhere." Ally said.

Sheila didn't care for the things that the man said he was going to do to her. She was glad they worked out a little differently than he'd anticipated.

"Damn straight." Sheila said.

Ally and Sheila each slung their M4 in front of them. They held a Taser in one hand and their silenced pistol in the other hand.

"We'll do this fast." Ally said. "Everyone dies and we free the girls. I don't want to linger."

Sheila always liked to make a 'statement' if they had time. For this operation they didn't have any extra time. Normally operations like this didn't have a connection to Skynet. This one did. They didn't want to stick around any longer than was necessary.

"OK, love. There will be no interrogations or retribution." Sheila said. "This will be a quick in and out."

Ally wanted to lighten Sheila's mood some.

"It probably will be for John too." Ally said.

Ally and Sheila giggled faintly as they moved in on the front and rear doors.

They both thought that based on the 'Neural Interface' files from Jesse and Allison that Savannah was going to find out 'it wasn't so great'. She would remember that being with other females was more rewarding for her. Males served a purpose for reproduction and seemed to bring little else to the table. Unlike Vanna, Jesse and Allison were both voluntarily with males at some point. Jesse sought love and Allison tried to get pregnant. It didn't appear that either endeavor was successful based upon where they were currently at.

The sun was clear of the mountains now. The beams of sunlight began to stream through the upper story windows of the casino hotel and Honeymoon Suite.

John and Savannah were still both asleep. They started to toss and turn as the sun hit them.

They were still unaware they were in the same room, let alone the same bed.

Both were naked and now faced each other as they slept.

Savannah opened her eyes. She saw John across from her, next to her. She looked around and saw where she was. She glanced down and saw she was still naked. She realized what was supposed to happen based upon where she was. She looked at John sleeping form right in front of her. She didn't think that anything happened otherwise she would remember. She reached down and touched herself. There was no indication anything happened. There was no stickiness or dried fluids that she could feel. It was just the soft smooth flesh of her secret spot.

She thought about getting up and out of the bed. Maybe they could do this another time. She was about to leave.

John opened his eyes.

"Savannah?" John asked.

Savannah swallowed hard.

"Yes…." Savannah said.

John knew he was naked and could see that Savannah was too. The sheet was down to her waist. She made no effort to cover herself. They were literally only inches apart from each other.

They were both aware how they were, wasn't how they fell asleep. It was clear Cameron was behind it. The fact that Cameron was behind it said something. It indicated Cameron wanted this to happen. If Cameron didn't want it to happen, they wouldn't be in the same room, in the same bed and naked.

They shared some small talk for a few minutes. They both felt the excitement and anticipation level grow as they did.

John started some soft background music on his phone. The longer he talked with Savannah the more beautiful he thought that she looked every second. He could only see the upper half of her naked body but it was so beautiful to him. He really had no control over what happened with his body because it was an involuntary response. It seemed 'Little Willie' was at 'full attention' in just seconds. He was glad that the sheet hid what was happening. At least he thought it did.

Savannah looked at John and took a deep breath. She could feel herself become aroused the longer that they faced each other naked. It was the right place. It was the right time. It was the right moment. Savannah let out the deep breath. She was ready.

"It's time, John Connor." Savannah said. "I can see you're ready."

Savannah pushed the sheet off of John and herself. She was a little surprised to see the full size of John. She briefly wondered how that thing was going to fit inside of her but she knew that it would. She wanted to be with him. She wanted to share with him like this. She wanted to be like all the other girls and see what sex with a male was really like. She hoped because of the love between them that it would be more special.

John didn't think he'd been this ready this quick in a long time if ever. This is something that he really wanted to do. It was something he'd wanted to do for years. Now she was all grown and she was right here next to him. She seemed to want him as much as he wanted her. He wasn't going to take anything for granted. He needed to hear her say she was there on her own accord and not because Cameron put her there. He wasn't going to use her like that no matter how much he wanted her virginity. He wasn't going to take her virginity from her. She would need to give it to him.

"I am." John said. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to. It has to be what you want to do on your own. You know that I respect you and care about you too much to take anything as a given or part of Cameron's 'Natural Order'."

Savannah felt herself tear up slightly. It was clear that she had a choice to do this or not. It was because she had a choice that made it all so much more special to her. This was her choice. She'd wanted to be with John for years. Other people didn't think she was ready at the time but she wasn't. She was already doing college level work. She had wants and desires too. She also felt love that she wanted to express. What was about to happen was the most special way two people could share the love that they felt for each other.

"I want to, John Connor." Savannah said. "I love you, John. I always have."

John can see the love in Savannah's eyes. He'd been this close before several times. The look of love was always the same. He knew that she wanted to share as much as he did.

"I love you too, Savannah." John said.

Savannah reached over and pulled John closer.

It was evident that they were both ready. There was no need for foreplay. It was time to get started.

John moved into position.

Savannah giggled.

"What's so funny?" John asked.

Savannah reflected on the room that she was actually in. It was the room where couples were to first share with each other after they were married.

"I just couldn't help but wonder how many girls actually lost their virginity in this bed." Savannah said. "This will be my first time."

John laughed too.

"I doubt very many." John said. "You may be the first one."

Savannah felt a surge of excitement. She really wanted John right now. The look of love was in her eyes.

"Take me, John." Savannah said.

John wanted things to go smoothly this time. It would also prove to him that this is really what Savannah wanted.

"I will." John said. "Guide me in…."

Savannah reached down to grasp John.

"Go slow…." Savannah whispered in John's ear.

Their future and their destiny were about to come to fruition.

The sun shone brightly over the tops of the mountains to the east.

The future was coming….

It was only a matter of a gentle thrust….

It was evident that both of their hearts pounding wildly as they were filled with love and passion.

"Make me a woman, John. I'm ready." Savannah whispered. "Easy…. Go slow…."

'Rock Me Gently' by 'Andy Kim', played softly in the background.

Go Slow

If life is for the living
What's left for the dead
Is that all that remains
When is all done and said

Does any one person matter
In the slog of daily life
Is there only nothing
Or is it all dandy and rife

It's not what one makes it
It's what makes one - one
The chances of success
Are always zero to none

Life in the fast lane
Will never end well
Those who survive
Have a tale to tell

Listen to some advice
If you really want to know
Everything lasts a lot longer
When things go slow

Nobody
