Chapter 1145
I Think We Know
John dressed in the suite bedroom. There was actually a large 'dressing room' that connected with the bathroom. Cameron returned from the living room area, she was still naked. He looked at her. It made him wonder about something. There'd been some comments about it in some of the reviews by previous passengers. He thought maybe there would be a YouTube video about it but there wasn't. If there were any, they'd probably been flagged and pulled down. It seemed a lot of people had a hang up about the human body. He thought maybe some of them should consider that not everyone drank the same kind of tea. It was still an intriguing idea to him.
"Does the ship really have nude sunbathing?" John asked.
He took in Cameron's unclothed beauty from head to toe as he asked.
Cameron liked the way John looked at her. She didn't feel any competition for herself as far as any nude sunbathing went. It bothered her a little that John might want to look at other naked females in person. She briefly wondered if maybe he wanted to check out some of the males. The area was just supposed to be for sunbathing. It wasn't a hookup spot. Her research indicated that there were hookups that originated from the area. With a group of Terminators around, she didn't have anything to worry about, she hoped.
"It does have a nude sunbathing area." Cameron said. "You're free to go there." Cameron said. "It's only available when we're at sea. You need to remember it's in a specific area and isolated when you're there."
John was a little surprised by Cameron's response.
"Do you mean I can go without you?" John asked.
Cameron didn't see it as a big deal. There would be many who would try it. It sounded like fun. She wondered if anybody ever went directly from their cabin to the nude sunbathing area without clothing. Maybe they just wrapped a towel around themselves or put on one of the bathrobes. There seem to be an abundance of those. She thought she could provide John with enough variety in the way of females.
"Of course you can." Cameron said. "It is all part of the cruise experience. Everything here is an adventure. I want you to have a good time. It never hurts to look."
Cameron thought about what all the human females told her over the years. Sex wasn't love. They were two different things that often shared some of the same acts. They shouldn't be viewed in competition with each other because they weren't.
Over the years John saw all of the Resistance females naked at some point, both human and Terminator, except those at the Young residence. He'd seen Allison naked in the future and at the base or on an operation several times. The Terminators were usually being repaired when they were viewed. Sheila was often seen going to different rooms for sexual encounters without clothing. Ally was sometimes with her and similarly unattired. He'd seen others in the TDE room, before or after a time transfer. There were other times previously when Cameron placed some of the girls naked in his bed too. He wasn't about to turn down an offer like that again. The way he saw it now was, if Cameron placed a naked female in his bed again, he wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. Cameron placed them there for a reason. He knew it was for his 'protection'. Who was he to 'second guess' Cameron?
Cameron looked around like she was about to tell John a secret. She moved in close to him.
John wondered what it was.
"John, what happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Cameron whispered.
Her statement surprised him.
John swallowed hard. It was very similar to what Cameron indicated about Las Vegas. He'd experienced a very close call with Cammy there. There was also one with Savannah. The latter encounter appeared to have been orchestrated by Cameron.
He decided to ask to be sure. He really wanted to know how far she was willing to go. He actually doubted it was as far as she would indicate.
"So if we ended up with a smoking hot beauty with her old crusty Sugar Daddy in the other suite, you won't mind?" John asked.
The thought of adventure actually excited John some. He needed to adjust himself slightly.
Cameron needed to remember what the girls all told her. As long as everyone remembered who they belonged to at the end of the day, there was never a problem. It was true that interlopers attempted to take a little more than they should from time to time but anything usually associated with them was very short lived. She wanted John to have the best honeymoon ever. She already knew the true test of love was sacrifice.
"You're free to partake with anyone on the ship, once we sail." Cameron said. "I really mean that."
Cameron watched John reposition himself. She could see the thought excited him. She wanted him to socialize with others a little more. She didn't care if they were all female.
John wanted to see how far the idea reached.
"Do you mean just me?" John asked.
Cameron looked at John and wondered why he wanted to be selfish. There were a few things Cameron wanted to try as well. It was the main reason why she wished Savannah would have come along.
"Hardly, I may want to try some fresh meat myself." Cameron said.
John looked a little worried. He needed to remember many sexual encounters were a two way street as far as the individuals involved were concerned.
"Do you mean with other men?" John asked.
He was clearly worried now.
Cameron seemed a little indifferent. If she was going to be with someone, she wanted to be with someone who would deliver. She wasn't looking for a good time for someone else at her expense. She was aware from multiple articles in Cosmo that males left a lot to be desired under every circumstance.
"Maybe them too, it's not what I was thinking…." Cameron said with a smile.
John swallowed hard again. It was an interesting prospect of Cameron bringing some hot females back to their suite. It made him wonder if she might not use herself as bait just to do that.
Cameron was pleased with John's reaction to her statement. She felt fairly confident she could control any situation that developed or that she was able to create. She threw on some very skimpy beach attire.
John thought her bikini was a little too revealing. He tried a subtle approach to get his point across. He thought she still looked almost naked. He was pretty sure that anyone they passed would turn to look at her, probably several times. It was going to be impossible not to do that.
"Will they allow your bikini in the eating area?" John asked. "You're basically nude."
Cameron looked down at her scantily clad figure. She didn't see anything wrong with it. She knew there were some rules and guidelines as well.
"They won't allow this attire in the main dining room." Cameron said. "I'd have to let the Maitre d' 'cop a feel' to get in. It wouldn't be a big deal to me. He'd only be touching part of my sheath."
John didn't like the idea. The Maitre d' wasn't the only one he was worried about. He would rather have her wear a little more clothing. He didn't want to get into an argument with her about it.
"I thought we were going to the main dining room after the pizza station, the burger grill and the buffet." John said.
She hoped to make a clean sweep of all the eating establishments to see how they stacked up with each other.
Cameron wanted John to have a good time. She didn't think following the original plan would be a problem.
"Sure, John, we can do all of those." Cameron said. "The only way to know what you're going to actually like is to try each of them."
John and Cameron shared a long silent look.
She didn't want to spoil the festive mood between them. She quickly put on some additional clothing.
Cameron's change of heart made John feel a little better. Cameron was almost naked before with a 'see through' wrap. He knew it would have kept the eyes off of him anyway. Maybe it's why she did it. If the people were busy looking at her body, they wouldn't be looking at his face. They wouldn't be looking at either of their faces. He wanted to change the subject before things became contentious.
"Did you say the other guests arrived for the Master Suite?" John asked.
Cameron looked over towards the Master Suite and frowned slightly. She'd been aware that Gail and Holly were going to be passengers on the ship. She just didn't know they were going to be passengers in the Master Suite. She would need to look into things further before she criticized anyone or worse, accused anyone.
"They're here." Cameron said. "I don't think they'll be a problem."
John figured if they weren't a problem now that they would turn into one at some point. He didn't want to run into any snobs.
"Let's see if we can slip out and avoid them." John said.
Cameron didn't think it was going to be possible. John didn't know it was Holly and Gail yet. She thought a sense of mystery would be good for John and help keep him on his toes. It appeared John was going to turn it into a more stressful situation than it needed to be. She wanted to see how he handled the stress along with the anticipation.
"Let's give it a try." Cameron said. "I'd really not worry about them."
John opened the door on the Owner's Suite and looked out into the private hall area. It contained the access to all three luxury suites.
He saw that the third suite was the 'Honeymoon Suite'. He wondered why they weren't in that one but didn't want to ask. He figured it was for Savannah and Cammy if they'd come along and he was supposed to be with Savannah in it. He thought there would be a sense of poetic justice to it.
He remembered his earlier discussion with Savannah in the Honeymoon Suite in Las Vegas. The question arose as to how many virgins actually made it to the Honeymoon Suite. Savannah clearly indicated that she was one. He really wanted to claim her virginity. He wanted to be her first. Somehow the ring of the Honeymoon Suite only made it seem more special.
Cameron saw John look at the 'Honeymoon Suite'. She didn't want to mince words about what she wanted. It was the 'Natural Order'. It was more than what she wanted. It was what he wanted, well, Future John anyway.
"I tried to get some of the other's to come along." Cameron said. "They all wanted it to be about us. I really don't know why. It's a big ship."
Cameron wouldn't give up hope until the ship set sail. Everyone would have their own private rooms. In this case, it was the giant suites. Even if there wasn't any personal interaction between John and any of the other females, some of the group should still be allowed to come along and take a little vacation as well. They were one big happy family in reality.
John was aware that Savannah and Young Allison wanted them to be alone. He really didn't think it was something that was necessary. There were others in the group who should be able to have some time off as well. As he looked around at all of the opulence it made him feel guilty about where he was and where everyone else was.
"Is anyone going to use that room?" John asked. "It seems like a waste of a room, a suite actually."
Cameron thought so too. There were several options open to her. She didn't know if she wanted to use any of them.
"It's a waste of a room." Cameron said. "I could still ask someone to come. CamNet can make it happen right up until we cast off. She can even delay our departure time."
CamNet could delay the cruise for hours if needed. It wasn't uncommon for a ship to leave port an hour or two late if flights that were booked through the cruise line arrived at the airport late. Usually they were related to weather delays at the point of origin. There could also be an unspecified problem 'develop' on the ship, somewhere in the port or even the Cruise Terminal.
John wondered about other ports along the way for anyone else to come onboard.
"Can anyone join us later in the cruise?" John asked. "I mean like at another port?"
There were many options open to CamNet.
"CamNet can show a flight delay that caused the guests to miss our departure." Cameron said. "Or she can show them already on the ship, like they were already here. CamNet could also make it so at every port we could trade some of our group off with a new set and make a series of one or two day sailings so almost everyone could get a taste of the voyage."
John thought it was a good idea. He wanted to share with his family and friends. They were really all like family now anyway.
He liked everything he'd seen so far on the ship and wanted to share it with the others. They could all use a break for a few days. Maybe it would make him feel less guilty for taking an entire week off. He understood the closeness Savannah and Young Allison wanted for Cameron in him. It needed to be about more than just them. He was aware of the various amenities available on the ship. Even though he hadn't visited any of the locations yet, he knew they were there. The more he thought about them, the guiltier he felt about being there while everyone else needed to tow the line.
"I want to do that." John said. "I want to share the cruise with everyone. I want as many people as possible to be a part of the adventure."
Cameron wanted that too. She could offer John an array of options. In fact, he could 'experience' all of them. She really wanted a human female in his bed to help protect him against the anti-Metal faction. At this juncture, she really didn't care which one it was. As long as someone wanted to be there and they were willing to provide John with their sexual favors, she would take whoever it was. Well, maybe everyone except Riley.
She wondered what John would choose if he was given a choice. Everything would still play out at some point in the future one way or another. It was only right now she wondered what John would actually prefer. The words just slipped out of her mouth without really thinking about them.
"Should I call Claire?" Cameron asked. "Cammy and Savannah are still close by. Would you prefer experience or innocence?"
John thought about it for a few seconds. He really didn't think it would matter in the long run. He was sure Cameron would make all of the females available to him at some point again.
"To tell you the truth, I'd like to have both." John said. "I think one of them sort of leads to the other."
Cameron smiled. She intended to provide John with both. She thought it was more about the current situation and timing.
"Which would you prefer first?" Cameron asked.
John knew he shouldn't have said what he did. He needed to try and work his way out of it, fast. He still wanted the others to be able to experience even a day of the ship. One of the suites could be made to hold ten people easy with the extra room and the living room area.
"I was just kidding." John said.
They both knew he wasn't, even without Cameron scanning him. He clearly liked the idea.
Cameron was going to call Savannah and Young Allison both and try to plead her case to let some of the others join them for a day or two. They could work everyone in on the four stops. John didn't know it yet but the Master Suite was available too. Gail and Holly didn't sleep. They could remain in the local Control Center that they'd established on the ship in one of the spare bedrooms. There were plenty of options available.
"OK, John." Cameron said. "It is a really good idea to share with all of our team. We don't need to do anything else with any of them. I want all of them to experience everything too."
Cameron liked to see everyone happy. She wouldn't push her agenda. She would need to inform Savannah of that. If something happened on its own, it wouldn't be her doing. She believed the atmosphere of the ship and the close proximity of the rooms would create its own special environment for the team members.
She wasn't really sure how Kyle and Sarah or Derek and Riley would figure into the mix. She didn't want them excluded. Her main concern was Precious.
John didn't want to create any problems between Cameron, Savannah and Young Allison. He was supposed to be the leader of the Resistance. His personal desires should be expressed by him to convey the sincerity of them. He didn't want Cameron to have to do his 'dirty work'. In this instance, he didn't think it was 'dirty work' at all. He thought it was something beautiful and special.
"I want to share everything too." John said. "I want to speak with Savannah and Young Allison myself and tell them why. We'll have plenty of privacy with our room."
Cameron was a little surprised about John's statement. She was sure she would have run into a lot of flak if she'd made the proposal herself. Right now it was the 'General's idea' and he believed in what he wanted for the others. She thought it was important. She thought it made a difference. She was ready to get the ball rolling on several fronts.
"Let's hit the upper deck and check out the food." Cameron said. "I can make a few calls while you're eating."
John actually liked her idea even better. He wouldn't feel so guilty about eating if Cameron was talking on the phone. He put on his hat and sunglasses. It seemed like a simple disguise. Savannah previously told them it was quite effective.
"How do I look?" John asked.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She didn't think he looked any different than he did previously. She understood that he wanted some type of a better answer. She decided to give him the one that seemed to please him the most. Somehow in their current circumstances and location in the Owner's Suite of a cruise ship, it seemed rather appropriate.
"I already told you." Cameron said. "You look like a young Tony Stark."
John liked that thought.
"In that case, I wonder who will be a bigger 'chick magnet', you or me?" John asked.
Cameron smiled.
"I think we both know the answer to that." Cameron said as they exited the suite.
John thought maybe he should have skipped his previous statement. He did know the answer to his own question. It was clear that Cameron would be. She always was.
Cammy and Savannah we're at the port facility. They watched the person inside the compound on their phones. Whoever was inside the complex currently urinated against the wall in a corner by the building.
Savannah was a little disgusted with the close up image the drone provided as the amber liquid splashed against the side of the building where it joined the ground. She was pretty sure it didn't get any more human than that.
"I don't think that's a Liquid Metal Terminator ability, is it?" Savannah asked. "I guess they could take on some liquid and dispense it later like that."
Cammy thought about it. She believed there were multiple options open to a Liquid Metal Terminator in that regard. She didn't think it was beyond their capability to simulate the amber liquid. If they could simulate blood, they would be able to simulate urine as well. As far as the options of taking on liquid to dispense later seemed completely plausible. More than likely the same thing could occur if they were to consume any liquid or even solid food. It would just simply be 'stored' until it was dispensed from the body. She concentrated on the appearance of the individual. She'd been on enough side operations with Cameron to know the look fairly well. It wasn't beyond the capability of a Liquid Metal Terminator to simulate a homeless person. The individual in question looked to be exactly that.
"I think a Liquid Metal Terminator could do quite a few things." Cammy said. "Based on further review of this individual, I believe they're a homeless person."
Savannah was able to get a closer look at the individual. Their attire was somewhat ragged.
"Now that we're zoomed in, I have to agree." Savannah said. "You don't think they were there all this time do you?"
Cammy thought it seemed unlikely they would have missed them. There'd been more than one team through the building to look for any clues as to what actually was going on inside of there. It seems the person would have been well disciplined to not have panicked with the gunfire and explosions that erupted. Then again, maybe they did panic and had remained where they were at until they thought it was safe to move about. It still seemed like a week was a long time for a human to remain inactive.
"Do you mean they may have hidden since the attack a week ago?" Cammy asked. "I don't know."
Savannah wondered what they did for food and water. Maybe the Grays they'd killed left plenty of things behind. It wasn't something that they'd really checked into. They'd only removed the bodies and set up the surveillance. CamNet and John Henry created a digital trail that a movie shoot was conducted at the location to cover their tracks.
"They'd need to have food or water somewhere if they were in there all this time." Savannah said.
Cammy wanted to check them out. The person's presence seemed to indicate more must be going on then they could see or even to deuce. It didn't do any good to guess or speculate. The team faced a serious threat at the location. She wanted to know more who the individual was and why they were there. There was only one sure way to get answers from the person. It would require a personal touch.
"I don't think they were there all of this time." Cammy said. "I'm going to go in and speak with them."
Savannah didn't want to create an incident. She didn't want the person needlessly terminated. Cammy would more than likely tell her that the person would turn into a future Scavenger. It may or may not be the case. She didn't want them to die for nothing. If they were involved with any of the groups at the port facility, it was a game changer. She wanted to use a little tact and control.
"Since we spun this as an action movie filming site, we should use the same theme and act as movie location scouts." Savannah said. "That's unless you want to act like two lost teenagers."
Cammy didn't want to take any chances. She didn't want things to turn into an attempted assault by the homeless man. She didn't even know if the homeless man was alone or not. There could be other individuals there as well. There were multiple factors to consider.
"We can play it by ear once we're there." Cammy said. "I may need to terminate them if they've seen too much or know too much."
Savannah didn't like the possible choices. She also needed to think about the team. It wouldn't be unlike any of the groups to send someone in undercover or in disguise to scope things out. There were at least two groups that lost a lot of people when the port facility was taken down. They still didn't know if a third group was involved or not. She needed to remember that the person was a loose cannon until they knew otherwise.
"I would prefer if we didn't but they could also be a Gray or a Fanatic posing as a homeless person to check things out." Savannah said. "It may also be someone from the Syndicate."
It looked like there was one good thing to Cammy.
"At least they don't seem like a Terminator of any type." Cammy said.
If that was the case, Savannah wanted to go in light. If anyone spotted them, it wouldn't cause a problem like it would if they wore their vests and carried long guns.
"I think we'll only each need our M9 and Taser then." Savannah said.
They both checked their weapons. Everything was in order.
"Let's go." Cammy said.
Savannah wanted to take advantage of the drone surveillance.
"Wait." Savannah said "Let's watch them a little more first. As long as we have the drone feed, we hold an advantage."
Savannah hoped if they waited a little they might see if there was more than one person or maybe how they got into the compound and remained there undetected by their surveillance.
Cammy really didn't want to wait any longer. She wanted to question the individual and she was going to get answers. She really didn't care how she got them. She would need to play it cool as long as Savannah was with her.
In the Command Center, Allison and John Henry watched the same things as Cammy and Savannah. They also watched Cammy and Savannah from the second drone.
Allison thought everything looked a little suspicious no matter how anyone looked at it.
"I think they're going to go in." Allison said.
John Henry could see the concern on Allison's face. He wanted to make some options available to her.
"Do you want to stop them?" John Henry asked.
Allison quickly looked at John Henry. She was surprised by John Henry's statement. She didn't think it was her choice to make.
"Only if we see some danger they don't see." Allison said. "They're on the ground and everything looks like a tactical decision at this point."
John Henry wanted to see what Allison came up with. He'd watched her operate in combat in her future. He knew she wasn't a stranger to danger.
"Do you have any suggestions or advice?" John Henry asked.
Allison looked over the available information and drone feeds. She didn't believe there was enough information to formulate any type of decisive action.
"No." Allison said.
John Henry didn't have any suggestions.
"I don't either." John Henry said.
Allison was a little worried by what was already around the location. There seemed to be a multitude things that could happen.
"What about anything else around there like a car or truck that seems out of place or one that's been left unattended for too long?" Allison asked. "There could be other people as well."
John Henry quickly reviewed all of the information since the arrival of the drones.
"Both drones scanned everything when they arrived." John Henry said. "It wasn't that long ago. It may be too early to make any determination like that."
As long as there was no immediate threat, Allison wanted it to play out some.
"Let's watch them for now and see what develops." Allison said.
She didn't like unknowns and any potential combat situation. She just hoped that where Cammy and Savannah were at, didn't turn into one.
In the Young bunker they watched the drone feeds as well. Everything there was an unexpected development, especially since the place was under observation twenty four, seven.
"I don't like it." Young Allison said.
It seemed to Anna they weren't dealing with a Terminator, at least not yet.
"We know the man doesn't appear to be a Terminator at this point, for obvious reasons. I think it's a good thing for Cammy and Savannah." Anna said. "I'm sorry you needed to witness that event."
It was no big deal to Young Allison. She'd come into contact with a number of questionable activities already. She'd been exposed to quite a few things that she could have done without but they were simply part of life. Humans were animals. She'd watched animals 'take care of business' as necessary. Normally humans used a little more discretion. Then again, the apparent homeless man believed he was in an isolated area. It wasn't like he was standing on a street corner.
"I've seen enough things like that around the park." Young Allison said. "I don't think most of it was to urinate either."
Young Allison needed to wonder why some people didn't take care of 'personal activity' of that nature when they were in private. She certainly wouldn't pleasure herself in a park where anyone could see her. She really didn't think if anyone viewed someone else pleasuring themselves in public that they would be attracted to it. A quick review of the recent news reports on television may indicate otherwise. There seemed to be a large proportion of the population that experienced some type of mental issues.
Anna made sure any perverse activity was 'taken care of'.
"I think anything like that has dropped off." Anna said.
Young Allison was aware that anyone who ever followed her when she ran, went to or from the pool or made any lewd comments or suggestions to her, soon disappeared.
She knew her Detail took care of any possible threats to her. She'd asked about it a few times until Cameron personally asked her not to worry about it. She didn't know if the perpetrators were relocated or terminated. She watched for reports of missing persons or deaths but was never able to make a correlation. One time when she searched for a long time she looked up and Cameron was standing there. Cameron just looked at her and walked away. She never searched again after that. It was never talked about, discussed or mentioned by anyone ever again. Any perceived threat to her simply vanished from the face of the earth.
Young Allison needed to clear her head. She didn't want to think about other events, especially if they were in the past. There were more current things to think about. She looked at the drone images that were taken as the drones arrived on station at the port facility. There were a number of vehicles parked about the area.
"I want a report on the vehicles parked around there." Young Allison said.
Anna tilted her head slightly. She looked over at the screens that Young Allison currently viewed. She wasn't sure any useful information could be determined at this juncture.
"The drones haven't been there that long." Anna said.
Young Allison felt there was a baseline to give them some information of what was there. They should already have an idea of what was there previously to the current situation.
"I want it compared to any of the recons done at night for the last week." Young Allison said. "It will give us some idea of what is around there on a regular basis."
Anna was updated by CamNet.
"CamNet is compiling the data now." Anna said. "Do you wish to share the information with John Henry?"
Young Allison wanted to be a team player.
"Yes." Young Allison said. "I want to work closer with him this week."
Anna was made aware Allison made much the same inquiry approximately at the same time.
"Allison is there now with him." Anna said.
Young Allison was a little surprised to hear that. She wasn't displeased to hear the information at all. She always believed that her older self should do a little more currently with the Resistance. Sometimes Allison told her about things that happened in the future. Some of those things were combat and others were patrols that she'd been on. She was well aware Allison was no stranger to danger.
"Great, there are 'two of me' now doing the same thing in different locations." Young Allison said.
Anna found it interesting what CamNet reported to her. She hadn't mentioned it earlier but it seemed CamNet wanted her to pass the information along in a specific manner.
"CamNet reports Allison asked some of the same questions you did at the same time as events unfolded." Anna said. "You both seem to share a similar thought process."
Young Allison thought it was more coincidence rather than them thinking alike. She wanted to try to downplay everything.
"They're probably basic questions anyone would ask." Young Allison said.
Anna could tell Young Allison didn't want to get into that discussion.
"It's probably the case." Anna said. "As soon as CamNet gives me the report with any suggestions, I'll let you know."
Young Allison flashed Anna a faint smile.
"Thanks." Young Allison said.
Young Allison glanced at the security camera and smiled.
The more she thought of it, the better the idea seemed to Young Allison for implementation of the idea on a larger scale. She wanted the team to be as protected as possible.
"I think it should be done at all the locations where we do recon at as well." Young Allison said. "It should alert us to anything different or repeat vehicles at any of the multiple target locations we took down."
Anna thought it sounded like a lot of work but CamNet and John Henry should be able to process all of the information in a very short time. They were both supercomputers.
"It sounds like good advice." Anna said.
The Metal girls and Jim went to work to move the computer gear.
They finished the transfer of the electronics from the spare bedroom of the Owner's Suite into the connecting spare bedroom of the Master Suite.
"Everything's been transferred and hooked up in the spare bedroom of the Master Suite now." Jim said.
Holly thought they needed to get ready for their protection duty.
"I think we'll need to go out soon." Holly said. "Cameron and John are getting dressed."
Gail didn't want any trouble.
"You're not supposed to monitor them." Gail said. "Sheila is the one most likely to break the rules. She'll be punished if she's caught."
Sheila would have preferred if her name would have been left out of the current discussion. She was aware what the punishment could be.
"I don't feel like washing dishes. I wouldn't be able to show off my jewelry." Sheila said. "I don't want to end up there if possible."
Jim saw it a different way.
"We all know it's not your jewelry you're showing off." Jim said. "It is what it's attached to."
It was true. Sheila liked to show off. It seemed everyone looked anyway. It wasn't often the 'goods' were on public display.
"I don't see anyone not looking." Sheila said.
Holly wanted to be ready to move out. She didn't want Sheila to create any distractions.
"We still need to be ready to go." Holly said. "John doesn't know we're the guests in this suite, not yet anyway."
Gail wondered how long they could remain undetected by him. They were on a ship in a very enclosed location. He would be bound to spot them sooner or later.
"I think we should infiltrate separately, at least at first." Gail said. "We can give him better coverage that way."
Holly peeked out the door.
"They 're getting ready to leave." Holly said.
Gail moved towards the door.
"I'm ready." Gail said.
Sheila wondered what Jim and her were going to do if Gail and Holly did all the protection duty.
"What are we supposed to do?" Sheila asked.
Holly spotted a small sign on the door handle of the Owner's Suite.
"You can change the sheets on their bed for starters." Holly said. "There is a 'Room Service' tag on their door now."
Sheila remembered her earlier comment.
"That figures." Sheila said. "It's because of the crack I made about Cameron's thighs."
Gail remembered Cameron wanted Sheila's uniform for herself.
"Don't forget to leave your maid's outfit there too." Gail said.
Sheila was on board with that idea.
"At least that will give me an excuse for walking around naked." Sheila said.
Jim thought Sheila was going to push it too far and anger Cameron.
"Do you like to do dishes?" Jim asked.
Sheila briefly considered the passenger complement. There would be thousands of dishes that would need to be cleaned.
"It might be a little better than cleaning the bilge." Sheila said.

I Think We Know
Some move in the shadows
They don't think they'll be seen
As to how things really work
They don't seem to be very keen
There's no darkness
When one turns on a light
It will expose the emptiness
Of one's own self created plight
Take a good look around
At what one has wrought
What was the message
Was it learned or taught
Is what's there
Ever really there
For how long will it be
Does anyone really care
Who is the one to blame
For what can no longer grow
Do you really need to ask
I think we know
Nobody
