Chapter 1045

She Is Sneaky

Vanna and Allison wanted to go out. They didn't want to bother Cam and Holly since they were 'sharing'. That's what they figured anyway. They went in search of another Terminator. It didn't take them long to spot one.

"There's Bob." Vanna said. "We can see what he's doing."

Allison thought it looked like he was about to leave.

"Maybe he's busy." Allison said.

Vanna looked at Allison and then at Bob.

"Bob!" Vanna called.

Bob stopped and came towards them.

Vanna wanted to get things moving.

"Are you busy?" Vanna asked.

Bob already set his mission priorities. He was supposed to join Anna and the girls. He wanted to see Summer at the park.

"I was going to head to the park to watch over the girls." Bob said. "I mean the younger girls."

Allison looked at Bob with her big brown puppy dog eyes.

"You don't want to watch over the bigger girls?" Allison asked.

Bob liked being around Vanna and Allison too. Maybe they wanted to see CamNet again. Maybe CamNet wanted to see them. He wasn't sure if he should ask. They would probably tell him where they were going once they left the Resistance base. He'd checked right before he left the Command Center. Anna was with the girls and Jim was with Sarah. They were nearby.

"Anna is with them." Bob said. "I'm available."

Vanna thought Bob had a sudden change of heart. She was sure there was more to it than Allison's doe eyes.

"Are you sure?" Vanna asked.

Bob thought maybe he'd better find out for sure what Cameron wanted. She told him to watch over Summer specifically. He would see how she wanted to play the new mission.

"Operations are light and the threat level is down." Bob said. "I think it's a go. Let me check."

Bob didn't want any problems to surface behind him.

Cameron was disturbed by John Henry's 'revelation'. She was sure it would lead to a new series of problems if the male Terminators became sexually active. He'd indicated that the query was initiated from another Terminator. She had a pretty good idea who that was. She knew it was Sheila. Then again it might be Ally. They were both starting to get out of hand. Well, Sheila was already out of hand. She'd almost physically punished Sheila a few times for some of the things she'd done. She really wanted to use Sheila's chassis to be with John for a day, maybe longer. With her chip in place of Sheila's chip, she could be 'someone different' for John and herself. She was her program anyway. The more she thought of the idea, the more she wanted to try it. She saw John was always aroused around Sheila, especially when she flashed him some of her jewelry. It was what the jewelry was attached to that caught John's attention. She at least wanted to take control of Sheila's chassis even if it was with a tether. At the point that Sheila relinquished control, it would become 'her chassis' because it would be controlled by her program. She wanted John to have the 'technical virginity' of Sheila chassis before a male Terminator did. She wanted to be in control when John took it. At least with Sheila's chassis and sheath, she would know it was the first time a male 'used' it. John would be the 'first' and it would be with her program, one way or another. She didn't consider the impact the act would have on Sheila to be used in this way. Sheila's 'first experience' wouldn't be her own, it would belong to her. She was sure that Sheila wouldn't mind her giving her virginity to John.

She saw Vanna and Allison stop Bob on one of the security feeds. She monitored their conversation. She wondered where Cam and Holly were at. She figured they must have been 'busy'.

Bob checked in.

Cameron wanted to make sure Jan and in Summer were adequately protected.

"I want you to conduct your original mission." Cameron informed him.

Cameron could see how disappointed Vanna and Allison looked when he told them he needed to continue with his original directive.

She didn't like how 'down' Vanna and Allison looked. Maybe she would go herself. She told Bob to complete his new mission with Vanna and Allison. She made a few quick plans you take over his mission.

"Don't worry about the park." Cameron said. "Go with Vanna and Allison."

Vanna and Allison both blew the security camera a kiss.

Cameron smiled to herself. She liked when everyone was happy.

She slipped out and saw John talking to Savannah and Young Allison. He looked very uncomfortable doing so. That made Cameron smile again. She knew John would bolt any minute. She knew there was a lot of sexual tension in the air at that table. Most of it seemed to radiate from Young Allison.

Savannah caught her checking them out. She excused herself and headed towards Cameron.

"How's John doing?" Cameron asked.

Savannah noticed that John looked even more nervous when she excused herself. He was left face to face with Young Allison and she was clearly in control of the conversation.

"He's intimidated beyond all belief." Savannah said. "Young Allison has him on the ropes. She's being very polite and cordial, yet firm and confident. You've trained her very well."

Cameron thought of how John would be really intimidated after they'd mated. Young Allison would be dominant in the relationship.

"She knows her place." Cameron said. "She's not afraid to take it either."

Savannah saw a more human side to it all. She didn't want anyone pressured into anything they weren't ready for.

"It's not about being afraid to 'take it'." Savannah said. "It's about respect for the one you love and their well being."

Cameron knew that Savannah's love wasn't about the physical aspect as much as it was about the mental and emotional one. There was still an important objective that needed to be dealt with.

"John and the future must be protected." Cameron said.

Savannah felt there were a few other things that needed to be protected. She believed that Cameron's well being was as important as any of them.

"So must you." Savannah said.

Cameron frowned slightly. She didn't think her concerns mattered. She needed to make sure that John was protected.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

Savannah wanted to set Cameron straight. She knew what was good for Cameron even if Cameron didn't know herself. She believed that Cameron did know but didn't want to admit it.

"I do. I know what's good for you and deep down you do as well. I need to find Cammy." Savannah said. "I have a few things I need to do."

Cameron was aware of who intercepted Cammy earlier.

"Cammy is unavailable for a while…." Cameron said.

Savannah quickly put everything together. She now knew why Claire left the commissary in such a hurry. She must have put in the grab on Cammy before she'd arrived. She realized that Claire did that to prevent Cammy from interfering with John, Young Allison and her.

"Is that where Claire went?" Savannah asked.

Cameron tried to tell if Savannah was upset by the news or not. It didn't appear so but she wanted to make sure.

"Yes." Cameron said. "Does that bother you?"

Savannah was used to the different sexual hookups. It wasn't a big deal.

"No." Savannah said. "Our relationships are open. We all get around."

Savannah would be with Claire herself as soon as she was able to get the opportunity. She didn't like to do it 'in front' of Allison or especially Young Allison.

Cameron saw this as an opportunity to get closer to Savannah. There were a few things she needed to take care of as well.

"I could take you to do what you need to do." Cameron said. "Do you wish to see CamNet?"

Savannah was a little surprised at Cameron's eagerness to take her to visit CamNet. She still needed to visit the jewelry store to pick up the rest of the items that she'd ordered.

"I do, but I have a few other things to do first." Savannah said.

Cameron looked over towards the commissary. Young Allison still had John on the ropes.

"Do you wish to bring Young Allison?" Cameron asked. "You both can see CamNet together."

Savannah didn't want CamNet to lose focus on her and start on Young Allison again. Now CamNet possessed a chassis to actually do things. She wouldn't prevent Young Allison from being with others. She'd done it, so she could expect Young Allison to want to do it as well. Young Allison already informed her that she was going to do everything that she'd done. She didn't doubt her one bit. She didn't have any right to complain either. The one thing that she would try to prevent was Young Allison having a child as soon as she could.

"NO!" Savannah said. "Young Allison can see CamNet in person but not yet. There needs to be a little space and time before that happens. I don't want there to be any 'problems'…."

Cameron was a little offended. She thought the use of the term 'problems' reflected negatively on her.

"CamNet is me." Cameron said.

Savannah knew that was true to an extent but not really. Not anymore. She knew what CamNet did with Young Allison previously.

"Were you the one 'kissing' Young Allison?" Savannah asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly.

"No." Cameron said. "It wasn't really 'kissing'."

Savannah thought it was about the principle and concept. It was physical to an extent on Young Allison's part. It was the wrong thing for Young Allison, especially at that time.

"It was CamNet knocking on Young Allison's heart's door." Savannah said. "It was an unhealthy relationship. I'm pretty sure it was as real to Young Allison as it was to CamNet. It was a touch screen after all. There was 'physical contact'."

Cameron wanted to be with Savannah. Something always got in the way. Now there was a new obstacle. It was going to be CamNet. She didn't like how Savannah stepped up to take Young Allison's place. She didn't like how it was done either.

"So you'll 'take her place' and submit to CamNet?" Cameron asked.

Savannah was displeased with that terminology. She saw it a different way.

"I need to protect Young Allison." Savannah said. "I will protect Young Allison."

Cameron knew Savannah would do anything for Young Allison and her, even die. That was true love in its purest form. It was unconditional love that was backed up with any sacrifice needed to express that love for the betterment of the one she loved over her own self. Sacrifice was the true test of love. Savannah passed that test many times.

"Do you want Young Allison to stay here at the base with her family?" Cameron asked. "You have space in your room…."

Savannah wanted everyone to have a choice. She didn't want anyone to feel 'obligated' or as if something was a 'job' they needed to do.

"I also have an empty room on both sides of mine." Savannah said. "There is one for Young Allison and one for Young Jesse. There's a connecting door to either room if it needs to be used."

Cameron thought about Young Jesse and John when Savannah mentioned her name. There were other things in the works that needed to be dealt with. She believed John would be more likely to mate with Young Jesse once she was with him in Sheila's chassis. It was further motivation for her to pursue the idea. She was aware that Young Jesse was ready to have a baby for Jesse. The only thing she'd asked for was a traditional conception. She wanted to think about what Savannah indicated about the rooms. Did Savannah want Young Jesse on one side of her room and Young Allison on the other side?

"Is that what you want?" Cameron asked. "Is that what you want now? Both things can be arranged."

Savannah didn't want to be the one to make that determination for either girl. She believed that choice belonged to each of them.

"It's a possibility." Savannah said. "It's an option. It also must be their choice."

Cameron wanted to know how things would play out for Young Allison.

"What will happen with Young Allison on her 'current mission'?" Cameron asked. "I mean the one that's happening right now?"

Savannah was concerned with Young Allison's well being. She'd already calculated the possible choices open to Young Allison. She was fairly certain what would happen and when.

"Young Allison will stay here with her family for one day and ask to return to her home in Palmdale." Savannah said. "She's going to test herself about being separated from them to make sure she is willing to go through with her temporal maturation."

Cameron thought that was some fairly specific information.

"Did Young Allison tell you this?" Cameron asked.

Savannah based her answer on intuition. She also thought she could read Young Allison fairly well.

"No." Savannah said. "I can feel it."

Cameron looked over at Young Allison in the commissary for a moment and then back at Savannah.

"I'll take her to the park to be with Summer." Cameron said.

Savannah wondered about the things she wanted to do.

"OK." Savannah said. "Young Allison comes first. My needs or desires are secondary."

That confirmed what Cameron already knew.

"You'll always sacrifice for her." Cameron said.

Savannah would protect Young Allison with her life.

"I will." Savannah said.

Cameron looked in the commissary again. She didn't want John to have a heart attack.

"Go rescue John and I'll join you and Young Allison shortly." Cameron said. "I need to take care of a few things."

John spoke with Young Allison. She was truly dynamic. Her knowledge was impressive. There were a few questions he wanted answered first hand. He needed to remind himself to look at her face and not keep looking at her body, specifically her breasts. He was sure her top was undone more than it had been previously. He never saw her do it but he was sure that it was.

"Why did you go around the Command Center?" John asked.

"CamNet was more responsive to what I witnessed and the things that needed to be done at that moment." Young Allison said. "I asked for her to cooperate with you and John Henry. I didn't want to be directly involved."

John knew it was more than that.

"You were." John said.

Young Allison would do everything she did the same way again. She would probably act sooner if she could do it all over. She didn't want to be a problem or make it seem like the Command Center didn't matter. She saw things that needed to be done and knew that she could get them accomplished. There wouldn't have to be any lengthy conversations or discussions. Action needed to be taken and it was taken. She didn't want it to turn into an argument or a fight.

"I apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes." Young Allison said. "That wasn't my intent. The girls needed assistance. I did what was necessary."

John was aware her actions resulted in people's deaths. He saw no guilt or remorse over that.

"You're responsible for some people dying." John said. "I believe it was actually quite a few. That's without the current situation involving the Syndicate and the Cartel.

John was sure that the deaths from that endeavor would be in the thousands soon enough.

Young Allison believed that all of the individuals who were terminated put themselves in the situation that allowed for them to be terminated. She didn't put them there. Had they not taken the actions they took against the Resistance team members, there wouldn't have been any problems. They'd already made their choice. She wasn't the judge or the jury. She was merely the executioner for the sentence that the perpetrators gave themselves by their own actions. She wanted John to know that there were no second thoughts or remorse involved on her part.

"I knew what my involvement would do. It didn't change the fact our teams needed help." Young Allison said. "I would do everything again the same way. Actually, I would probably hit harder sooner. I'll try to have CamNet work closer with you and John Henry so you can keep up better."

John wasn't sure he agreed with the last part of her statement. Still, the results spoke for themselves. He wanted to give her the chance to step up some. If he went on the cruise with Cameron, he would be gone for an entire week. He'd never been away from operations for that long ever.

"I may be unavailable for a few days soon." John said.

Young Allison was kept up to date by CamNet several times a day of all activity. She liked to know what everyone was up to. Anna told her she was spying on people. Maybe that was one term that could be used to describe it. She thought of it as being well informed.

"I'm aware of everything that happens around here." Young Allison said. "Everything…."

John looked at Young Allison for a long moment. He understood the implication of what she'd indicated.

"I'm sure you are." John said.

Young Allison didn't see it as a big deal. The more information she possessed the better her decision making would be in certain matters. She looked John right in the eyes as she spoke.

"I know my place." Young Allison said. "I know my future. I know our future."

John swallowed hard. His eyes drop down to Young Allison's breasts again with her statement. He could clearly see more of them. He quickly brought them back up to her face. There was a smile on it waiting for him. It was clear that she'd caught him again but she wasn't bothered by it.

Savannah heard enough of the conversation on her way to the commissary. She decided it was time to put the brakes on it. Young Allison was a little bit too suggestive where she was at right now. She noticed her top was open more as well.

"It looks like I got back just in the nick of time." Savannah said as she reentered the commissary.

John looked relieved.

Young Allison looked determined.

John knew that Savannah seemed to have some positive influence over Cameron. He could see she did over Young Allison as well. He wondered how much longer that would last. Young Allison seemed very 'independent'. She was willing to stand her ground and not back down. It was clear she wasn't intimidated by him at all. He couldn't say the same about himself towards Young Allison. He felt very intimidated by her. She was willing to work around the General, which was him, when she saw fit and had CamNet to back her up.

He quickly addressed the possibility of Cameron and him being away for a few days and wanted Young Allison to step up in his absence to work with John Henry, with CamNet in the background.

Young Allison saw things a little differently. She was comfortable to operate from her bunker. She liked the way that things happened over the last few weeks. There were a few factors that were prominent in her decision. They were personal to her.

"I'll work from the sidelines." Young Allison said. "John Henry will be the one calling the shots. LOOK at me…. I don't want to cause a problem."

John wished she wouldn't have said that. He did look. His eyes went straight to her youthful figure. He doubted she would look like that much longer. He didn't want to go there. That would only make everyone more determined to speed things up.

"I want human input." John said. "Maybe Savannah can assist you. She shouldn't be on any operations during that time."

Savannah knew that was because Cameron would be tied up with John on the cruise ship. She figured something would break loose. It always seemed to happen sooner or later. It occurred most often where they didn't expect it to be either. She was pretty sure she would be involved with something at some point. That's just the way things happened.

"You're placing a lot of responsibility on us." Savannah said. "If I'm needed in the field, that's where I'll be. Cammy and I can fill in for Cameron if it becomes necessary. I don't want her to feel that obligation when she's on vacation. I'd like both of you to spend the entire week together, alone."

Young Allison wanted the 'Natural Order' to happen now.

"That's the way it is supposed to be." Young Allison said. "That's the future. There is no reason the future can't be now. All of us are ready for it right now."

Young Allison looked at Savannah and then directly at John.

John looked at Savannah and Young Allison and quickly excused himself.

He could clearly see Cameron's handiwork at play.

The thing that troubled him the most was that the more he observed and interacted. The more he wanted to act. He really wanted the 'Natural Order' right now as well. Young Allison clearly indicated that she was ripe for the taking. He was ready to pick that forbidden fruit. He tried not to look back as he headed for the Command Center.

Cammy arrived with Claire in Holly's room. Cam and Holly were naked. They discussed a 'four way' and decided that's what they would do.

Claire seemed very excited about the prospect that awaited her.

Cammy started to strip along with Claire. She wanted to be with Claire, Cam and Holly.

Claire was soon naked and so was Cammy.

Cammy was still troubled about not being able to see Savannah earlier. It bothered her. It was how she felt last night when she wanted Sheila to make her feel pain and pleasure. She was worried about Savannah then. The feeling suddenly became very overwhelming for her. She needed to see Savannah. She needed to see her now.

"I'm sorry. I need to check on Savannah." Cammy said. "Excuse me, you girls carry on."

Cammy started to walk out of the room.

Cam quickly looked at Holly and Claire before she turned her attention to Cammy.

"Did you forget anything?" Cam asked.

Cammy looked at Cam, Holly and Claire. She was in a hurry to leave.

"No." Cammy said. "I'll make it up to you three another time."

Claire was now worried about Cammy.

"Cammy, your clothes are still here." Claire said. "You're completely naked."

Cammy looked down at herself. There was an empty feeling inside her.

"I fooled you." Cammy said too suddenly.

She quickly threw some clothes on and left with her shoes in her hand.

Claire wasn't so sure Cammy played around. She actually thought it was her fault at this point.

"Maybe I should go with her." Claire said. "I stopped her from seeing Savannah earlier."

Holly wanted to be with Claire. She wouldn't have to worry about Allison looking over her shoulder either. She didn't think it was a big deal about Cammy. She said she was fooling around.

"I want you to stay, Claire." Holly said. "Savannah will take good care of Cammy. We all know that."

That's all Claire needed to hear.

Cam quickly left a message for Savannah.

"I have it covered. I've notified Savannah." Cam said. "Now where were we?"

Claire took one more look at the door that Cammy went through. The thought quickly passed from her mind as both Holly and Cam started in on her. Everything else was soon forgotten.

Cammy headed out to find Savannah. She didn't know she was about to leave without her clothes. She quickly tried to make it seem like she was joking around. She was aware she was still not one hundred percent. She put her shoes and socks on as she walked, hopping along in spots to do so. She wanted to be dressed when Savannah saw her.

She was a little worried but knew once she was with Savannah she would be fine.

Cameron passed John on the way to the Command Center. They both stopped and kissed before they moved on. She reminded him how many more times left they had to be together. She was aware Cammy was on her way back to the commissary, comically putting her shoes on as she walked.

She wanted to get Young Allison and go to the park.

Savannah and Young Allison discussed the possibility of Young Allison stepping up to oversee some of the operations from the Command Center when John was on vacation. They both knew it might cause a problem otherwise with some of the people, the human ones.

Cameron walked into the commissary.

"I'm going to go see Jan and Summer at the park." Cameron said. "Would one or both of you like to go with me?"

Young Allison spoke without even thinking.

"I would." Young Allison said.

It was clear Young Allison wanted to see Summer.

Cammy walked into the commissary.

Savannah glanced at the message on her phone. She looked at Cammy for a moment before she spoke.

"I have a few errands to run." Savannah said. "I can do them with Cammy now that she's available."

Cammy smiled at Savannah. She felt better already.

Cameron wanted to see if Young Allison or Savannah would change their mind. They were each going to go to a different location now.

"Is everyone good with that?" Cameron asked.

Young Allison wondered if Savannah was going to see CamNet. It wasn't her time or place to say anything about that. She didn't want to ask.

"For now we're good." Young Allison said.

Savannah reached out and gave Young Allison's hand a gentle squeeze.

The two girls looked at each other for a long moment. No further words were necessary. Their love for each other was silently conveyed.

Savannah left with Cammy.

Young Allison watched them go. She waited till they were out of sight.

"Where are they off to?" Young Allison asked.

Now that Cammy was with Savannah, there could be a lot of possibilities.

"I really don't know." Cameron said. "I try to give her privacy."

Young Allison wondered how much privacy she was given. She was pretty sure Cameron or the other Terminators knew everything that she did. That included when she'd pleasured herself as well.

"Do you give me privacy?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She didn't feel she intruded unnecessarily on Young Allison's life.

"Yes. I do most of the time." Cameron said. "I only check to make sure you're safe."

The words slipped out of Young Allison's mouth without her thinking about them.

"Nobody is ever safe." Young Allison said.

Cameron was pleased to hear that. She pointed out the obvious.

"That's why I check." Cameron said.

Young Allison reached out her hand and took Cameron's hand.

"Let's go see Summer and Jan." Young Allison said.

Cameron felt the same magical touch she did with Savannah when Young Allison took her hand. It was so simple yet soothing. She knew there was a lot of love behind that touch.

Cammy and Savannah headed for the carpool area after they left the commissary.

Savannah looked Cammy over as they walked.

"Did you change?" Savannah asked.

Cammy quickly touched her clothing to make sure she was dressed. She was.

"No." Cammy said.

Savannah frowned slightly. She didn't comment about the message that she'd received from Cam.

"That's not the top you were wearing earlier." Savannah said.

Cammy looked down. It wasn't her top.

"I switched with Claire." Cammy said.

Savannah looked at Cammy for a long moment but made no further comment about the clothes.

"I'm going to drive." Savannah said.

Anna was at the park with Jan and Summer. They awaited the return of Sarah and Jim. She was surprised to see Young Allison running towards them.

She saw Summer's face light up as she turned and saw Young Allison approach them.

Jan was happy too that Young Allison was there.

Anna looked around to see who was with Young Allison. She was sure she wasn't alone. It looked like a sucker play.

Cameron soundlessly approached from behind them as Young Allison drew their attention.

Before she completed her turn, Anna received her answer.

"Boo." Cameron said.

Anna looked around further. Cameron may still have more cards in play.

"I figured it was you." Anna said.

Cameron wanted to see if she could sneak up within 'termination range' on Anna and the girls. She was given a few suggestions on what they could do to pull it off.

"It was her idea." Cameron said.

Cameron indicated Young Allison.

Anna was aware Young Allison knew how to play her. She'd used herself as the decoy.

"I figured that too." Anna said. "She is sneaky."

Cameron felt it was more than just training. She thought that was a good thing.

"Yes she is." Cameron said with a smile. "I don't know where she gets it from…."

She Is Sneaky

How many people are willing
To put all their cards up front
It's not very many
What one sees is a front

Everyone one wants more
Some are willing to take
It quickly separates those
From who is true or fake

Everything is a gamble
Like the roll of the dice
Fewer than one thinks
Are willing to play nice

It all boils down to one's self
It's about their character
Either they are real
Or just a bad actor

The inner mind is leaky
Watch for what is freaky
Pay close attention to the other
Remember she is sneaky

Nobody
