Chapter 1204
She Is Tired
Jim was a little worried about waking Sarah up. He shared a very good and close relationship with Sarah and both of the Reese families. It was mostly a working relationship but there was also a personal one too. He was always invited to birthday celebrations or any special events any of the families shared. Bob was often included too. They were the two Terminators most often who were with any of the Reese families who went out on a mission or for personal reasons. If Derek or Kyle went out in the field, Bob or him were the ones usually with them.
Jim thought he heard some movement in the Owner's Suite.
Cameron asked to be contacted if any movement was detected.
Jim called Cameron. He hoped he hadn't accidentally woken John up.
The Metal girls finished their fifth song.
Cameron and Bob both clapped.
The girls discussed their next song.
"'Matchbox' by 'Carl Perkins', is our next number." Ally said.
Bob and Cameron waited in anticipation.
Cameron received a call from Jim.
Bob figured Cameron was about to leave.
Cameron was sure she knew what the call was about. She should have gone back sooner. To stay and watch the girls perform was 'fun'. She'd enjoyed it greatly. She was very pleased the tension over potential chassis 'use' was resolved.
She excused herself from the girls and Bob and headed back up to the Owner's Suite.
She was about to enter the private area when the door opened. She expected to see Jim. It was Sarah. It was a surprise.
Cameron thought Sarah should be sleeping. She was worried Sarah might be having sleep problems again. They were something she'd experienced in the past. They caused her a lot of trauma.
"Is everything alright?" Cameron asked.
Sarah didn't want to worry Cameron.
"I was awake and spoke with Jim. He told me the girls were playing in the rear theater. I wanted to see them." Sarah said. "He showed me a little preview. They looked fantastic from what I saw. I want to go down and see them perform live."
Cameron wondered if she should escort Sarah down to the rear theater. The threat level seemed low. She'd only passed a few crew members on the way back to the suite. She decided to ask anyway. It would let Sarah know she cared about her.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Cameron asked. "I just came from there."
Cameron wanted to check on John but the safety of the team came first.
Sarah didn't think it was a problem. She doubted many people were up at this hour.
"I know where it is." Sarah said. "I'll be fine."
Cameron was aware Jim would track Sarah all the way there. Bob could move to intercept her at any time if it became necessary. The Metal girls would back him up. She reminded herself she didn't need to worry so much. They were on a ship. They were at sea. It was a very controlled environment. Most people were in bed by this point, even if they weren't asleep. Upon further reflection, it seemed like a 'non issue'.
"Have fun, they're very good." Cameron said.
Sarah went on her way.
Cameron silently entered the Owner's Suite.
She heard John in the bathroom. It was understandable with the vast amount of food he'd consumed. He drank more than a few of a drink called an 'Arnold Palmer' that she'd witnessed. She didn't know what it was until she tried a small sip of it. She quickly made the determination it was half lemonade and half iced tea. She actually liked the taste of the two separate drinks combined. It wasn't too sweet or bitter as each of the two drinks were on their own.
Cameron quickly stripped and got into bed. She wanted to surprise John. She was good to go if he was. She was always good to go. She knew the female body was superior to the male body. It was true even without the 'Terminator factor'.
Tom and Steve currently had two men under surveillance. They weren't sure yet what group they belong to.
Steve was able to hear everything Tom could. The conversation seemed to verify both of the men were injured by the dog attack. It also indicated there was at least one more person involved with them. They referred to the individual as 'Jasper'. They were currently away from the location.
They both checked the drone scans for anyone approaching on foot or in a vehicle. So far nothing had been detected.
It appeared things were about to change.
The drone that was farthest out detected another vehicle in the vicinity. Its erratic actions were what flagged it as a potential threat. It unexpectedly changed directions twice and then resumed its previous course.
Steve and Tom were both apprised of the potential threat. They didn't know if it was another hostel group or the individual referred to as 'Jasper'.
The vehicle approached the apartment building they were at. It went around the block twice. It went around once in each direction. It was the same behavior the two men inside the apartment exhibited when they'd arrived.
Tom listened to the two men finish up with each other. Their wounds had been tended to. He needed to reposition himself in case the new arrival was to do an inspection of the exterior of the building.
Steve also repositioned himself for the same reason.
The new vehicle pulled in and parked down several vehicles from the other vehicle the two men arrived in. There was a parking spot on each side of it but they didn't use it. They probably didn't want their vehicles clustered together.
A male exited the vehicle. He glanced over at the other vehicle as he passed by it. He didn't go to examine it. He didn't head towards the front door of the apartment either. He looked around when he passed in back of the dumpster. He continued along the back of the building and peered around the corner. He walked along the side of the building. He paused and peered around the corner before he continued around the building to the front side. He took one more look around before he approached the front of the apartment. He opened the door and slipped inside.
Tom followed him around the back and the side.
Steve followed him when he was in the front.
They both moved back to their previous positions to hear what was spoken.
The three men exchanged a brief greeting.
The first man filled Jasper in on what happened when they'd visited the target location.
Jasper seemed less than thrilled with their report.
"It sounds like you blew the mission." Jasper said. "What do we actually know?"
"We did the recon and no one was spotted." The first man said.
"How many people are in the building?" Jasper asked.
"We don't know." The second man said. "We didn't get that far."
There were some harsh words exchanged and an argument.
"It looks like I'm going to have to do it myself." Jasper said. "Just like everything that happens around here."
"I'm going with you." The second man said. "I'm going to kill the dog this time."
"I'm good to go too." The first man said. "My ankle doesn't hurt so much now. The pills you took off of the homeless broad last week really dulled the pain."
"I guess she was good for two things then." Jasper said. "We're all going. I'm glad I didn't score you any fresh 'stank' as a reward."
"Are we going to go back there in the morning?" The second man asked. "It's already late and I'm tired."
"We lost some good people tonight." Jasper said. "We're going back now."
There was some more grumbling by the first two men who'd arrived at the apartment.
"That's easy for you to say." The second man said. "You weren't the one who was attacked by a wild dog."
"I needed to check on our friend." Jasper said. "He didn't have anything new to say."
"You were sure gone a long time for nothing then." The first man said.
"I stopped by the park and scored with two homeless sluts." Jasper said. "It cost me three bucks for the 'thirty something' and five bucks for the teen."
"Can we stop by there on the way to the target zone?" The first man asked.
"Do you expect a reward after you failed your mission?" Jasper asked. "I don't think so."
"Are we going to call anyone?" The second man asked.
"Since we lost contact with everyone, we're not using our phones at all. I hope you didn't use yours and left it off like I told you before I needed to go." Jasper said. "It's why I wanted to check on our friend to make sure they were still there."
"You had time to score twice on the way back." The first man said.
"Actually I did one on the way there and one on the way back." Jasper said. "It didn't take long either time. I skipped the foreplay."
Tom could hear what sounded like additional weapons being checked. The men only appeared to be armed with pistols earlier. Most likely they would carry long guns for the next part of their operation.
He heard the men use the restroom as they made final preparations to leave. One man complained about the smell the other left behind.
Steve and Tom both withdrew from their current positions. They knew where the men were headed. They would take a quick look around inside their apartment before they went in pursuit of them. One drone would follow the men if they only took the same vehicle. One drone would stay over them for now. The third drone would continue to do recon around the area.
They watched the three men get into Jasper's vehicle and drive away.
Tom moved back to the bathroom window. Steve joined him a few seconds later. They popped off the screen on the bathroom window. They went to pry open the bathroom window and enter. The bathroom window wasn't even secured. They made sure the window wasn't wired and opened it all the way. They quickly scrambled inside.
They looked for any booby traps, bombs or surveillance equipment. None were spotted. There were two beds and a mattress on the floor in one room. There were three mattresses on the floor in another room. It appeared there were sleeping accommodations for at least six. A quick check of the kitchen showed a number of dirty dishes stacked up in the sink. There was an overflowing trash can full of used paper plates. The refrigerator only had a few items in it. The freezer contained a number of frozen TV dinners. Several of the cabinets were full of cans of different types of food.
Tom checked the progress of the vehicle. It caused some alarm.
"They're coming back." Tom said.
Steve wasn't so sure.
"I think they're just going to drive by and take a look." Steve said. "If anyone gets out before they arrive in front, it might mean we've been made."
The vehicle drove by the front. It didn't slow or stop.
There were two computers there. They removed the hard drives from both of them. They found several boxes of ammunition but no more firearms. They didn't find any explosives anywhere.
"Let's go." Tom said. "This place is a dead end."
Steve was sure of one thing.
"It's going to be a dead end for those three men." Steve said.
They were both relieved they hadn't found any type of restraints on any of the mattresses or beds when they'd searched the interior. It appeared as if these men 'rented' their personal comfort. It further raised the prospect they might be from the anti-Metal faction. The Grays and Fanatics usually took what they wanted and disposed of it when they were done.
Samantha was pleased she was able to be with Claire again. She was content for Claire to satisfy her once for every four times she was able to do so for her. The thing that pleased her the most was how identical their bodies were at this point. She really looked forward to her Resequencing finishing. She hoped when they did the updated 'Neural Interface', it would give her some more of Claire's passion. She also wanted Claire's personal experiences for the last few years.
Claire was really excited to be with Samantha again. She wanted to make the most of it. She did. Samantha was more than willing to work on her too. She'd lost track of how many times Samantha was able to take her 'there'. In fact she lost track of everything.
The only thing she seemed to remember was how much she liked all of Samantha's body. She'd been able to experience more than a few 'close up' encounters.
The Metal girls finished their sixth song.
Bob clapped.
The girls discussed their next song.
"'Blue Suede Shoes' by 'Carl Perkins', is our next number." Ally said.
Bob waited in anticipation.
The girls were sorry to see Cameron go but understood the reason. It was the whole reason John and Cameron were supposed to be on the ship. It was their honeymoon and Cameron was supposed to avail herself to John's desires. They were just glad she hadn't taken one of them along with her to use their chassis.
The girls knocked the next song out anyway. They were on a roll.
Sarah smiled to herself as she headed down to deck seven. She decided to use the stairs. She didn't wear her long dress so the stairs weren't problem. She figured why Cameron was in a rush to get back to their suite. It looked like John was about to get a 'midnight snack'. She was sure otherwise Cameron would have accompanied her there.
The ship at this point seemed like it was a relatively low risk. She still felt 'naked' earlier without a pistol and Taser. There weren't a lot of places she could strap one of them on earlier wearing an evening dress. There were plenty of Terminators around so it wasn't so bad. She only carried a Taser with her now. If she ran into a drunk trying to find his cabin, she would only zap him instead of shooting him if she was accosted. If they were out on the street and something similar happened, it would end much differently for the abuser.
She exited the stairwell and headed straight for the rear theater. She could hear them performing as she approached. They were very loud and very good. She noticed a few crew members scattered in various spots. There was cleaning equipment near each of them. None of them were actually working. They all stood and listened to what she could hear.
The girls were in the middle of 'Blue Suede Shoes'.
Each of the crew members seemed a little surprised to see her. They quickly resumed working as she neared them. She doubted they would remain working once she'd passed.
Sarah entered the rear theater and headed straight for the girls. She spotted Bob and joined him.
Bob greeted Sarah. She waved at the Metal girls as they performed. They appeared to brighten up knowing she'd come down to see them. The decibel level seemed to intensify.
Now the Metal girls were treated to a real audience. It did not matter if it was only one person who came on their own. They came to hear and watch them. It was time to up their game. They weren't sure how Sarah knew where they were at and what they were doing but somehow she did.
Cammy entered Riley's room. She hoped to find Allison and Claire together. As soon as she was in the living room, she heard the sounds were coming from Precious' room. She'd seen Precious in Riley's bedroom earlier with her crib.
She quickly checked in Riley's bedroom and found Allison asleep on the bed. She leaned over and pulled the cover up for Allison. She checked on Precious, she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Cammy went and peeked in Precious' room. Claire and Samantha were involved in a heavy love making session. It looked like Samantha was really wearing Claire out.
She wasn't sure why they didn't use the nursery since it was only down another door. Samantha must have wanted to remain close to Precious.
She was about to tag herself in but didn't think Claire was going to be up to it. She needed to rest for her trip in a few hours. She debated what to do. Should she take the time to be with Claire and Samantha or go back and join Cam, Vanna and Savannah?
Samantha heard someone enter. At first she thought Vanna might have returned. By their stealth, she determined it was Cam or Cammy. It was most likely Cammy.
Then again, it could be John Henry. He did like to make sure the girls were 'OK'. He seemed to do a lot of 'research' as well. She wondered exactly what the point of the 'research' was.
She looked at Claire and saw she was pretty well worn out. Claire needed to rest for tomorrow. Maybe she could get Cammy to take her back. If Cammy did take Claire back, she was going to make a move on Allison. It was as close to the 'mother-daughter' thing as she figured would ever happen.
Claire was beat.
"I need to rest for a little bit." Claire said.
Samantha didn't want to exhaust Claire.
"Do you want me to carry you back?" Samantha asked.
Claire wanted to try and work on Samantha some more. She felt bad about receiving more than she'd given. She'd learned from Jesse a happy customer was a repeat customer.
"I hate to leave you hanging." Claire said. "I still owe you a couple."
It wasn't a problem for Samantha. It set up the potential for an additional encounter to 'catch up'.
"You need to sleep." Samantha said. "We can worry about it some other time."
Claire felt a little unsteady and she was very sleepy.
"Will you carry me back?" Claire asked.
Samantha began to scan Claire again. She'd done it many times while they were together and every time Claire 'finished'. She knew Cammy was close by and gave her an invitation to join them.
"I will." Samantha said. "Cammy was going to stop by and check on Precious for Riley soon."
Claire wanted to be with Samantha and Cammy but she was tired.
"If I wasn't so tired we could do a 'three way'." Claire said. "It would be just like 'Allison' with us, like you want."
Samantha did want it. She wanted to give Claire a reminder about the earlier incident she'd prevented
"It almost happened." Samantha said.
Claire was confused in the dark. She didn't know it was her daughter she was about to pleasure. She actually wondered what would have happened if Samantha hadn't stopped her.
"I thought it was Vanna." Claire said.
Samantha wondered how far Claire would have gone. Allison might have thought Claire was her and went along with it in the dark.
"Would it have bothered you if you'd continued?" Samantha asked.
Claire didn't think so. Young Allison and Summer were her 'daughters'. Allison seemed more like her equal or a best friend. She was only a couple of years younger than her.
"Not really." Claire said. "I've been with Ally, Cam and Cammy. I think it would have bothered Allison a lot. I really don't know."
There was a soft knock.
Samantha knew Cammy waited outside as she listened to them. She wanted Cammy to hear what almost happened without having to tell her herself.
"It must be Cammy." Samantha said. "Do you mind if she sees us?"
The thought excited Claire. She called Cammy herself.
"No. We're all one big family anyway. We have no secrets. We all love each other." Claire said. "Cammy, we're in here."
Cammy appeared in the doorway.
"Excuse me." Cammy said. "I don't mean to disturb you. I came to check on Precious."
There was some sound from Riley's room.
Samantha quickly got up.
"I can do it." Cammy said.
Samantha felt it was her duty. She'd specifically told Vanna she would take care of Precious.
"I need to check on Precious." Samantha said. "Thanks anyway."
Samantha headed for the door.
"Bye, Samantha." Claire said quickly.
Samantha's head turned back.
"Bye." Samantha said as she left. "She is tired."
Cammy looked at Claire's naked form. It excited her.
"Do you want me to carry you back to your room?" Cammy asked.
Cammy wanted to touch Claire's naked body.
"I hate to trouble you." Claire said.
Claire didn't like to be a burden.
Cammy looked around.
"Do you have clothes?" Cammy asked.
Claire thought she came with something on. She forgot what it was or where it was at.
"At this point I really couldn't tell you." Claire said. "They're around here somewhere."
She'd actually taken them off in Riley's bedroom when she thought she saw 'Vanna' asleep in the bed.
Cammy didn't see it as a problem.
"They'll turn up." Cammy said.
Cammy would rather carry Claire naked anyway.
Claire started to fold the blanket. Cammy stepped in and helped her.
"Thanks, Cammy." Claire said. "I'm beat."
Cammy scooped Claire up in her arms. She felt a kiss on her cheek from Claire.
"I'll take you back." Cammy said.
Claire learned Terminators liked to finish their mission.
"Do you want to check on Precious first?" Claire asked.
Cammy didn't think a delay would matter. Besides she'd already checked and Samantha was there now.
"I'll come back." Cammy said. "I don't sleep."
Claire thought of all the things she could do if she didn't need to sleep.
"It must be nice." Claire said.
Cammy scanned Claire as she carried her.
"What?" Cammy asked. "Do you mean because I don't need to sleep?"
Claire thought beyond that.
"There's that too." Claire said. "I meant to be a Terminator."
Cammy tilted her head slightly as she carried Claire. It was an unusual request.
"You would like to be a Terminator?" Cammy asked.
Claire thought it would be beautiful on several levels.
"Yes." Claire said. "I could get so much done and make love all the time."
Cammy thought being human was better.
"Your body is superior to mine." Cammy said. "You can reproduce and have children. It's the most beautiful thing."
Claire figured everything had its ups and downs.
"I think it is too." Claire said. "We are what we are."
Cammy wondered what it would be like to be human. She would be like Allison. It would be beautiful to share with Savannah like that.
"I guess so." Cammy said. "There's not a whole lot we can do about it."
Cammy continued back to Claire's room.
Vanna, Savannah and Cam finished up.
The girls experienced a special time.
Vanna was worried she'd been away for a long time.
"I need to go back and check on Precious." Vanna said. "I've been gone too long."
Cam volunteered to do it.
"I can check." Cam said.
Vanna wanted to do it all but she could see she'd slacked off already on the first day.
"It's my job, at least for these few days anyway." Vanna said.
Cam still thought Vanna looked tired.
"I can carry you there." Cam said.
Vanna still hadn't gotten up.
"I can make it." Vanna said.
Savannah was tired and Vanna looked even more tired than she was.
"She is tired." Savannah said. "You can carry her."
Savannah got up.
Vanna was very happy about what they'd done.
"I can say I really shared a good time with both of you." Vanna said.
Savannah was pleased too.
"I did too." Savannah said.
Cam would be content to do it every night.
"It was very exciting and stimulating." Cam said.
Vanna started to get up. She was slow in her movements.
Cam scooped Vanna up and carried her away as Savannah held the door for them.
Savannah watched them go. She really wondered where her life was headed. She wondered how long her life was going to last. She'd been in some real close ones. She needed to get all the joy and pleasure out of life while she still could. She could be dead tomorrow. She understood how all the people from the future felt and why. She understood why they like to live in the moment. It was truly the only time that nothing else mattered. The moments were brief, but they were meaningful.
John Henry received a feed from Jim of the Metal girls playing and singing on the ship. He was impressed. They really seemed to have some ability. He started to tap his foot.
What caught his attention now was Cammy carrying Claire naked back to her room. A few minutes later Cam emerged naked carrying Vanna who was also naked.
While he watched the feed from the ship he also reviewed some of the footage Sheila shot with her body cam from her room earlier. He didn't feel bad about looking at it because he was aware they all checked things out on the internet. Of course he needed to filter them to make sure everything was secure. It also meant he was able to see what they all looked at. He knew what each of them liked to see. Whenever he ran across some site that might have malware or a virus, he would clean out their accounts of funds and crash their system.
If the site reappeared he would link them with a site known for distributing child porn and send the authorities in after them. He saw it as taking more potential Scavengers off of the street.
It seemed to work quite effectively.
CamNet watched it all and took everything in. The Metal girl's performance on the ship was interesting. She watched the entire performance. She would encourage them to do it more, once they were back. She might even have them come and play for her in her bunker.
She knew what happened at both bases, on the ship and at the Young residence. She also watched everything else that was in the system or around the county and the world.
She needed to keep focus on the current operation. She wanted to keep it off John Henry's radar. She didn't want Cam or Cammy to become involved. Most of all she didn't want Savannah to become involved.
Savannah was always the focus of her thoughts.
She looked forward to seeing Savannah later on. She was ready for more. It was time to consummate their love.
Anna was about to check on Young Allison again when Jim sent her the feed of the Metal girls performing on the ship.
She was aware when they went into the past they would be transitioning from several types of music to other different types. All were based on the same things. They seemed to have common roots.
She looked forward to seeing Savannah come to visit Young Allison. It always made Young Allison's day. It was clear to her how much the girls loved each other. She wanted to feel jealous but she couldn't. She knew Savannah and Young Allison belonged together. She didn't know when it would be, but she figured it would be soon enough.
Neither one ever tried to bully the other one or take advantage of them. They treated each other with respect and honor. It was a love based on friendship and companionship, rather that one based on sex.
She decided to watch the Metal girls perform. She could check on Young Allison when they finished. She really liked what she saw. She would save a copy for Young Allison.
Young Allison tossed and turned in her sleep. She was still troubled by the nightmares Cameron's proposed actions caused her. It was very troubling what words and thoughts could do to the human mind, even when nothing actually happened.
It nagged her because she'd interfered with something both John and Cameron seemed to want. She hoped she'd made it clear that if any of the Metal girls wanted to participate on their own accord, they should be allowed to.
Young Allison tossed and turned some more in her sleep.
The Metal girls finished their seventh song.
Sarah and Bob both clapped.
The girls discussed their next song.
"'Honey Don't' by 'Carl Perkins', is our next number." Ally said.
Sarah and Bob waited in anticipation.
The girls were good and getting better.
Sarah thought about looking at the time but decided it was better not to know. She was content with what she was doing and it was really good music.
John exited the restroom. He'd hoped to see Cameron still around, she wasn't. He couldn't expect her to lie in bed and do nothing while he slept. He used to feel that way and didn't see how selfish it was on his part. He eventually did. Sometimes he forgot what Cameron was. It was easy to do, especially when they shared.
John climbed back into bed and touched someone. He jumped a little bit. The room was very dark.
"Cameron?" John asked.
Cameron wanted to have some fun in the darkness.
"Don't you want some variety, love?" Cameron asked as she used Sheila's voice.
John's hand immediately withdrew from the breast he was reaching for since he thought it was Cameron. He wondered if Cameron did the chassis swap. He'd thought about it and decided if it's what Cameron wanted, he would go along with it. Cameron was her program, right? This would be his chance for a little 'strange' that wasn't a problem.
"Sheila?" John asked.
Cameron didn't want to cause John too much anxiety.
"It's me, John." Cameron said.
John was afraid to ask but he needed to.
"Did you switch?" John asked.
Cameron didn't see it as an issue. She didn't think it should make a difference since she was her program.
"Maybe I did." Cameron said. "Don't you want to find out? It would still be me. Remember, I'm my program."
John wanted to make sure before he made love to Cameron in another chassis.
"Is this what you really want?" John asked. "I mean for yourself."
Cameron wished she was in Sheila's chassis right now.
"It's what I want for you and for me. I want you to lay back and relax." Cameron said. "I don't want you to touch my sheath yet since I saw you pull your hand away. I'm going to drive. I want you to tell me what's different when you finish."
John reached out in the darkness to touch her.
Cameron playfully slapped his hand away.
"There will only be one part touching." Cameron said. "I'll start you up. You're just along for the ride. Remember, you'll be the first."
Her statement alone excited John.
John went with what Cameron 'wanted'. He couldn't tell anything was different from how Cameron normally was. He was afraid to tell her everything was the 'same'. Once he finished, she carefully climbed off of him. He never did touch her elsewhere.
He was soon back asleep. He thought he'd been with Cameron in Sheila's chassis. He wanted to see her with the lights on and do it again. It would have to wait for morning. He was tired. It gave him very pleasant dreams to think about what happened and what would happen.
Steve and Tom knew where the men were headed.
"Let's go." Tom said. "This place is a dead end."
Steve was sure of one thing.
"It's going to be a dead end for those three men." Steve said.
They didn't want them to get too far ahead in case someone exited the vehicle. They asked the drone doing recon around their position be sent to do recon around the target vehicle.
They left the apartment the same way they'd entered. They even put the screen back on the window. The only thing they'd taken with them were the hard drives from the computers.
They quickly returned to their vehicle and took off in pursuit of the three men. They knew exactly where they were at. They moved to a parallel route when it was possible. They didn't want the men to know they were being followed. It didn't appear any of them were a Terminator based upon what they'd witnessed and heard.
It didn't take them long before they reached the target location.
"Do you think they'll take the 'front door' or an indirect route?" Steve asked.
Tom followed the drone image. So far there hadn't been a clue.
"We should know in the next minute." Tom said.
From the drone footage, they watched the vehicle drive by the target location. It came from the opposite direction the two men had taken earlier.
The vehicle went around the block and stopped on the other side of the target location.
Jasper exited the driver's side and climbed over the wall.
The other two men got out and followed him with extreme difficulty. They both paused to see if Jasper was attacked by a dog. They were on a different side of the target location. They didn't know if there was a dog at the new location like there was at the previous one.
Jasper went over the wall onto the property of the target location. He moved up to the roll up door. He gave it a gentle tug. It didn't move. He moved up to the office door and tried it. It was locked. He carefully looked In the bottom corner of the window of the office to see what he could see.
The other two men remained behind the wall of the property next door. They both carried long guns and pointed them in the direction of the target building. It appeared as if they would give Jasper covering fire if he started to receive any hostile fire. It seemed to be a pre-arranged plan.
Steve and Tom waited at the end of the alley. They could be to the enemy vehicle in seconds. They knew the men weren't going to find anything, even if they entered the building.
The drone on wide recon picked up a potential threat.
There was a vehicle that appeared to be headed straight towards the target location.
Steve was a little worried about their position. They didn't know what path the new vehicle would take when it arrived.
"I think we need to fall back a block." Steve said.
It seemed like a good idea to Tom.
"Maybe we should make it two blocks." Tom said. "We may need a drone strike otherwise."
She Is Tired
One needs something to trade
Before they're hired
They want to do a good job
Nobody wants to get fired
They don't want to feel
Like they've been acquired
They want to be respected
They'd rather be admired
Instead of threats and bullying
They want to be inspired
It would be even better
If they felt they were desired
To be with each other
Is all that should be required
To share with each other
Should leave both feeling wired
Sooner rather than later
One seeks to be retired
Did the relationship grow cold
Or she is tired
Nobody
