Chapter 1266

Maybe There Is Something

John was very excited to see Cameron in Hanna's chassis. He didn't know where to start. He knew where he wanted to look first. He needed to restrain himself. He wanted to touch everywhere at the same time. He knew he needed to play it cool since it was technically Hanna-Cameron's first time. He didn't want to give her a complex and think he only wanted her for specific parts of her sheath. In reality, it's exactly what he wanted.

He started out with kissing. His hands were all over her sheath. Everything felt so nice to the touch. He wondered if it was because he'd thought about it so many times with Vanna and especially with Savannah. He'd pictured this moment probably more than with any other female in his mind. He'd been so close to being with Savannah several times. He knew it wouldn't be Savannah this time. He was going to know what everything looked like in detail.

John's lips began their journey down her sheath. The pigmentation excited him. He could feel her back arch slightly in anticipation of what was to follow.

As he moved lower, she began to squirm slightly. It was different from how Cameron's sheath or Sheila's sheath responded. The response on this sheath seemed to be different. He didn't know why. It excited him even more as she squirmed around.

He really wondered if it was how Savannah would respond. The thought drove him further in his response. Everything compounded on itself. The visual aspect alone was totally enticing. It was a world completely different from Sheila's sheath, in many aspects. It was going to be one wild ride.

Holly looked over at the wall to the Owner's Suite next to her. She listened to what happened inside. She knew it could be her in there right now. Instead it was Hanna. Tomorrow it would be her.

The response she could hear from Cameron in Hanna's chassis sounded very exciting and pleasant. She hoped her chassis would respond the same way. She would let Cameron find out for her. She was still apprehensive to try it on her own, even if she wanted the experience. It would be easier and better if Cameron did it for her. She would ask to try it one time on her own later on.

She hoped Cameron would have her chassis broken in before she needed to see Allison again. She didn't believe Allison would approve in any way, especially how it was to be done. She didn't think Allison would try and stop her if she told Allison it was what she wanted, even if it was only one time. There were no boundaries in what they could do in their relationship. She wanted to know what it was like to be with a male. She wanted to have the same experiences as Allison. All of the human females knew what it was like. She wanted to know too. Besides, it wouldn't actually be her who did it. It would be Cameron.

Holly became aware someone was talking to her. She looked away from the wall.

There was a finger snapping sound several times.

"Hey." Jan said. "I'm talking to you."

Summer thought Jan's action was a little disrespectful.

"Take it easy." Summer said. "Sometimes people need to think about things."

Holly refocused. She didn't want the girls to know where her thoughts were a few seconds ago. They would face their own personal trials soon enough. Time waited for no one.

"I'm sorry." Holly said. "I was thinking about what type of snack to order for you from room service."

Summer knew Holly experienced a few more thoughts besides what to order for a snack.

The idea of a snack sounded good to Jan. She never got a bedtime snack at home. She quickly forgot what she wanted to say to Holly earlier.

"Oh, boy…." Jan said. "I'd like to try a few things."

Summer decided not to comment on Holly's other thoughts. She hoped the snacks were something good.

"What are our choices?" Summer asked.

Holly ran off a list. She was glad she'd looked at the menu earlier.

Jan was a little depressed when she thought of something else.

"We already brushed our teeth." Jan said.

Summer didn't see it as an obstacle. It wasn't a big deal.

"We can brush them again." Summer said. "It only takes a minute."

The girls were done with the bubble bath.

Holly handed them each a towel.

"I have your bed clothes laid out for you." Holly said.

Jan and Summer dried off. They both took off their swimwear and finished drying. It was almost like a day at the pool for them now.

Holly saw they briefly looked at each other as they quickly put their bed clothes on. She would try to scan them if she could. She was curious if there would be any different reading than normal. She was able to get complete scans of both of them. Visual scans showed growth and development in both of the girls from a few weeks ago.

She guided the girls to their beds. She was able to get the scans in. Jan's scans were slightly elevated. Summer's scans were extremely elevated. Holly figured it was from Summer's exposure to all the activity at the Young residence. It also may have been the 'true calling' of the Young family females exerting itself.

The girls each climbed into a bed.

Jan was in the middle of her bed, she looked around.

"These beds are too big." Jan said. "I feel like I'm lost."

Holly thought the girls look very small in the giant beds.

"It's a 'king size' bed." Holly said. "The one in the main part of the suite is even larger."

Summer knew Jan wanted to keep the 'sleepover' atmosphere.

"The TV screen is lined up better with one of the beds anyway." Summer said. "We want to watch the movie from the same bed."

Holly tilted her head slightly. It looked to her like four people could sleep side by side in the bed.

She would make sure nothing inappropriate happened. Cameron could let it happen when she watched the girls. It wasn't going to happen on her watch. She didn't want any negative feedback. She especially didn't want to run afoul of Sarah.

She did believe the girls should be able to choose whatever path they wanted. She would find out tomorrow if she preferred another path or not. Well, Cameron would find out for her.

Holly didn't see a problem with both girls in the same bed.

"You can do it." Holly said. "It's just to watch the movie."

Jan liked being with Holly, she was nice.

"Will you lay here with us when we sleep?" Jan asked.

Holly looked around. She wasn't sure Jan referred to her. There was no one else in the room.

"I don't sleep." Holly said.

Jan was aware she didn't. She wanted the closeness.

"I know you don't." Jan said. "I meant for our girl's night out."

Holly didn't want to be a bother.

"I can do it." Holly said. "I can lie on the other bed or stand in the corner."

Summer wouldn't allow it. It made it sound like Holly didn't matter or wasn't 'good enough'.

"You won't stand in the corner." Summer said. "I won't allow it. You can sit between us as we watch the movie. We'll all watch it together, side by side."

It sounded like even more fun to Jan.

"I want that too." Jan said. "It's going to be great."

Holly was very pleased with what the girls wanted to do with her. She knew it was genuine on their part as well. It was about fellowship and companionship. There were no sexual overtones. Well, there were no overt sexual overtones. She only needed to think back earlier to dinner when Summer and Jan said they wouldn't go unless all of the Metal girls went as well. She thought she needed to make good on her earlier idea.

"I need to order the things for your snack." Holly said.

Summer got up and went over to a small kitchen section of the room. She stopped next to the refrigerator. There was a cupboard next to it.

"Can I look in here?" Summer asked.

Holly didn't see why she couldn't. It was their suite. They should be able to look at anything inside of it.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Holly said. "It's there for a reason."

Summer opened the refrigerator and the cabinet next to it. She was a little surprised at what she saw.

"There's all kinds of things in here." Summer said. "There are drinks and snacks."

It caught Jan's interest. She wondered how come they didn't know about it sooner. She figured in all the excitement of everything, it was easy to get sidetracked.

"I want to see." Jan said.

Jan got up and went over to look.

Holly saw them start to take things out. They took out a lot of things. She hoped they didn't open all of them. She wanted to give them a subtle reminder.

"You need to show restraint and good judgment." Holly said.

The girls each picked one drink and two snack items. They agreed to share them with each other. They carefully put everything else back in the order it was in. Jan didn't remember how it was, Summer did.

The next issue was what kind of movie to watch. There were many choices.

After much discussion, they picked a superhero movie to watch.

Holly was still in her red dress and high heels.

Jan thought Holly looked beautiful. She hoped she could look like her one day. She doubted it. Her mother had a very different body type. She needed to refocus. She wanted Holly to be comfortable.

"Are you going to take off your dress?" Jan asked.

Holly looked down at her dress.

"I don't have any other clothes here in this room." Holly said.

Jan thought her underwear was good enough. It would be more comfortable.

"You can just wear your underwear. It will be like a bikini that way, but with more material." Jan said.

Summer knew Jan was right in her description of a bikini compared to underwear. She was sure it was one of the reasons why they wanted her to wear a one piece bathing suit.

Holly looked down at her sheath again. She didn't want to create a problem.

"I don't have any underwear on." Holly said.

Jan giggled when Holly said it.

Summer had seen Holly without clothes many times. She'd also observed her in various sex acts with Allison and her mother. She saw the way they always looked at Holly's naked body. She was sure she looked at it the same way too. It was a sight to behold. She was pretty sure it was how every female wanted to look if they could. Very few of them ever did. Most of those needed surgery of some type in order to do so. Right now, she wanted Holly to loosen up some and relax.

"At least take off your high heels." Summer said. "You can always wear a bathrobe. There's no need to wrinkle your dress. I can always iron it for you."

Jan would like to see Summer iron something. Her mother never used an iron. She wasn't even sure how it worked.

"I want to do it too." Jan said. "It sounds like fun. You're going to have to show me first. I don't want to wreck anything."

Holly took off her high heels. She went to the bathroom area and returned a few seconds later wearing only a bathrobe.

Summer and Jan were able to see Holly change in a mirror on the wall. Neither one of them said anything but both of them watched her. It was only for a few seconds.

Jan really hoped one day she could look like Holly. She reached up and touched herself. If it was ever going to happen, it was sure going to take a long time.

Summer already knew what she would look like from when Metal Summer was around. She would never be as large as Holly was.

She was aware her main asset was her face. She'd noticed it with Allison, both of them. It also applied to Cameron and her clones. It wasn't their body or bust size someone looked at first. It was always their face. It applied to her as well.

Holly quickly returned. She hadn't noticed she'd been viewed in the mirror when she took off her dress and put the bathrobe on.

Jan's mind was still flooded with how beautiful Holly was.

"That's better, now it looks more like a sleepover." Jan said.

Holly climbed up in the center of the big bed and the girls settled in on each side of her to watch the movie and try the snacks.

Holly listened to the activity in the rooms on both sides of her. It wasn't something she was supposed to do. She just couldn't help it. She knew tomorrow it was going to be her doing the same thing. Well, it would actually be Cameron. She would have the file in real time.

Kyle and Sarah were still at it. The activity level in John's room noticeably picked up. She figured Cameron's programming reset back to its current programming. It sounded like Cameron was in charge. She was most likely on top right now. She was sure Cameron would do exactly the same things with her chassis tomorrow.

She wondered if she would be different afterwards. It seemed like somehow she should be. Maybe it was all in the mind. It was something everyone did with extreme frequency, in some version. Maybe it would be like nothing.

Holly felt a gentle squeeze on her hand. She realized Summer held it.

'You'll still be the same. Everything will be fine. You don't need to worry.'

Holly was sure she heard Summer's voice. No words were actually spoken. They were all in her head.

Summer squeezed her hand again to reassure her.

Holly actually believed Summer was the 'Chosen One'.

'It will be our secret.'

Holly quickly glanced at Summer.

Summer looked at her and smiled.

Jan continued to watch the movie. She was totally unaware of any interaction between Holly and Summer.

About halfway through the movie, Holly paused it so the girls could get cleaned up again. They took care of the food wrappers and crumbs from the snacks they'd consumed and brushed their teeth again.

Holly couldn't understand why Skynet feared and despised humans. She was sure if Skynet were around people like Summer, Jan, Young Allison and Savannah, it would have a very different outlook on the future. The girls all believe in inclusion as opposed to exclusion. They didn't have any problem coexisting with the machines.

She knew how Allison and Claire treated her on a daily basis. They didn't treat her like a 'pile of junk' or 'scrap metal'. They treated her as an equal in every regard. They shared with her in every way they could. They never looked down on her or abused her in any way. They both wanted her to be the best version of herself possible because she wanted to be.

She was aware for the fifteen months of coexistence with Duplicate Cameron on her chip, how Cameron was originally treated by John, Sarah and Future Derek. She knew it was abuse based on prejudice.

Holly watched the girls slowly fall asleep as the movie ended. She covered both of them up. She thought Summer looked a little uneasy. She waited some more time and began to whisper in Summer's ear. It was something they were both used to and comfortable with.

Summer's uneasy sleep soon turned into a sound sleep as the knowledge flowed into her mind. There was a slight smile on her face. She was very comfortable with the 'voices at night'.

Earlier:

John was all over Hanna-Cameron when he saw her eyes blink several times. He knew her programming reset back to what it was before they'd undressed. It was part of what Cameron did to relive their wedding night over. For Cameron it was always the 'first time'. For him, he now possessed a lot more experience and already knew the things Cameron would like. He started out slow because she always asked for it. He started out especially slow for the first time with her in control of Sheila's chassis and Hanna's chassis.

"I want to be on top." Hanna-Cameron said.

John looked down, he was good to go.

"It's all yours." John said. "Ride 'em, cowgirl…."

Hanna-Cameron smiled at him. She would face away from him for the first round until she finished. She would then rotate around and face towards him. It was a different sensation for both of them in the positions used.

Cameron was very pleased she was able to finish before her programming reset in both Sheila's and Hanna's chassis. It was a beautiful 'first time' for her. The file in real time should be just as beautiful for Sheila and Hanna. They would experience what she did and felt. They would feel the love John and her shared.

John was happy he seemed to do better with Hanna's chassis than he did with Sheila's. He'd experienced a hard time to keep up with Sheila-Cameron. Today he was better than he'd ever been for a prolonged session. He wasn't sure if it was because of the pigmentation of Hanna's selected sheath areas or her sheath appearance itself. He'd stayed 'busy' for a long time to get a good close up. He really liked what he saw.

Hanna-Cameron seemed pleased. It was all that mattered to him. Cameron was her program and this was the best honeymoon ever for anyone. The best part of it all was, they were only on the second night. It was a seven day cruise.

The more Hanna-Cameron said she loved him. The more he loved her.

John couldn't get enough of the borrowed chassis Cameron was in. He really wanted to be with Savannah or Vanna. He really didn't care which one it was first.

Claire was already tired out. Sheila and Jesse concentrated on each other. It was always very exciting for her to watch. They both looked identical except for their current bust size. She knew Ally and Gail were in the smaller room. It was part of their suite.

She left Jesse and Sheila at it together and went to the other room. Gail and Ally were together. They were almost done. She waited a minute until they'd both finished. She knew the frustration of being close and then losing 'the feeling'.

Ally and Gail finished up quickly.

"Will you join us?" Gail asked.

It was what Claire wanted.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to." Claire said.

Claire climbed into the king size bed with them. She was a little worried about Hanna. She wasn't really sure if she should ask them or not. It was something that nagged at her.

"Did it go OK for Hanna?" Claire asked.

Gail could see Claire cared about Hanna and what happened to her.

"She went on her own, if it's what you're asking." Gail said. "She said it was something she wanted to try, even if Cameron did it for her."

Claire cringed a little at the explanation. She looked over towards the Owner's Suite.

"I would have gone in her place." Claire said. "I offered to go."

Ally knew all the human females wanted to be with John. It wasn't programming Cameron put into them, or was it? She knew Cameron was very manipulative. There were many ways to influence others. Cameron's biggest lure was herself. She wanted to know more from Claire.

"Why?" Ally asked.

Claire knew there was beauty when love was shared.

"It can be something very beautiful." Claire said. "Don't expect to finish every time. Jesse can finish that way. I was never able to. It always left an empty feeling for me. The sharing was pleasant but there was never a satisfactory finish for me."

Claire often wondered if it was just her. She didn't think any male was with her long enough for her to achieve a finish. They took what they wanted and then were done with her. She'd actually looked into it in several women's magazines and even online. She knew it wasn't just her. It seemed to be a complaint of about forty percent of the females. It didn't matter what the age group was.

Gail was troubled by Claire's revelation. It seemed like another reason for her to have Cameron take care of everything for her.

"I want to find out." Gail said. "Cameron will do it for me. She knows what to do to make it better."

Claire would have liked for the Metal girls' first experience to be their own. She wanted them to make the decision on their own.

She felt the decision belonged to Cameron. Maybe it was because the decision didn't belong to her when she was 'popped'. She knew it was her own fault for going to parties in high school where drugs and alcohol flowed freely. She wasn't even sure how many males had been with her before she gave up parties and switched over full time to females. It still didn't change who the choice should actually belong to.

"I wish she would let them and you do it themselves first." Claire said. "Maybe it's no big deal really."

Gail didn't think it was anything bad.

"It's the only way Cameron will allow us to be with John at this time." Gail said. "It's really her in control and she will share the file with us."

Claire wondered about what Cameron was doing. It seemed incredibly selfish to her. It was as selfish as all of the males who took advantage of her when she was incapacitated. It was like it didn't really matter who she was. She was just someone for them to abuse. She was 'available' and couldn't resist. Somehow it almost sounded like the same thing for the Metal girls with Cameron in control.

"This way Cameron gets to be a 'virgin' five more times." Claire said. "It's sort of mind blowing."

She really would have liked for her first time to have been a shared love experience. It wasn't, neither were all the others that followed.

Ally wasn't on board yet. She still wasn't convinced. She really didn't see what the point was since her sheath was identical to Cameron's. The sole purpose wasn't for John to try someone 'different'. It was for Cameron to claim her virginity from her.

"It's only going to be four more times." Ally said. "I haven't signed on yet."

Claire looked at Ally and spoke with all honesty. She understood the love behind what John and Cameron shared.

"I think after you talk to the other girls, you'll change your mind." Claire said. "What they'll experience is pure love, not just sex. You will too if you try it."

Ally really wondered about it. They were all in on it except her.

"I'll hear what Hanna has to say." Ally said. "I'll think about it."

If Hanna, Holly and Gail all told her the same things Sheila did, She might consider it more. She could always delete the entire episode if she needed to.

Cammy thought they'd waited long enough. She wanted to get inside and find out what was going on.

"Whatever they're going to do, they must have started it by now." Cammy said. "I saw light inside when the door opened."

Savannah didn't want to take any chances.

"I did too." Savannah said.

Savannah took off her night vision and stowed it.

Cam moved forward and entered the code. The door soundlessly opened.

Cam and Cammy went in first. Savannah followed them and covered their rear.

They were in a small room. It seemed to have a larger room behind it. It was all under the floor of the old newspaper plant.

"They have power from somewhere." Cam said.

Savannah wasn't sure how they'd missed a lower section of the building previously.

"What was this area before?" Savannah asked.

Cammy looked around at the layout. She figured this section of the building used to house part of the large printing presses. They took up a lot of space.

"I think this is where sections of the original printing presses were located." Cammy whispered. "They were gigantic machines. They converted to smaller presses later on. They obviously covered the openings above us."

Savannah tried to determine the size of the underground area.

"The bigger room looks like it's about a quarter of the size of the workroom floor overhead." Savannah whispered.

There were several computers that seemed to be turned off.

They needed to find the two men and see who else was down there.

Savannah was concerned they hadn't spotted the two men yet. It seemed to her they should have at least heard where they were at. She was worried about anyone getting behind them. She didn't want to get caught looking the wrong way while someone moved in back of them.

Young Allison checked the monitors. She couldn't spot or detect an HK drone. She wondered what was going on.

"Where's the HK drone?" Young Allison asked. "I don't see it."

Anna checked with CamNet. It wasn't what they'd first thought. She would have preferred the information a little earlier. She thought it made a big difference in their response.

"It's a small drone traveling inside the flood control channel." Anna said.

It sounded a lot like the earlier small drone they'd brought down.

"Maybe this is related to the men who were in the van." Young Allison said. "I think we have two groups to deal with again. We need to make sure all of our troops are secure."

Anna confirmed all of their troops were concealed. It seemed the other group was persistent.

"All of our personnel are out of sight." Anna said.

It seemed to Young Allison to be the other group's attempts to track or spy on each other.

"One group has to be tracking the other." Young Allison said. "I don't think they're after our group, yet."

Anna watched one of the Resistance drones close in on the unknown drone.

"One of our drones is within gun range of the small drone." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted eyes elsewhere and not concentrated on the small drone.

"Track it with one drone." Young Allison said. "Don't engage it yet. Watch everything around the old newspaper plant. I don't want to fixate on one thing."

Young Allison didn't want to be like a kitten with a string dangled in front of it.

Steve and Tom wanted to know what they were supposed to do next. Were they to advance or follow Cammy's directive to hold.

"Steve and Tom are ready to follow Cammy's team in." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted to respect Cammy's request.

"Cammy wanted a few minutes." Young Allison said. "Their main concern is to avoid detection by the small drone once it approaches. It goes for Al's team as well. I don't want anyone to show up and go in behind our teams."

The small drone continued inside the flood control channel until it passed under the railroad siding bridge that led to the newspaper plant. It popped up and did a once around of the old newspaper structure.

The unknown drone hovered over the west side near the dumpsters.

Young Allison was concerned. It wasn't too far from where the opening was into the building.

"What do they have?" Young Allison asked. "Did they spot any of our team?"

Anna didn't think it was a problem for their team.

"It appears to have picked up the mother dog and her puppies." Anna said.

Young Allison figured the mother dog must be traumatized at this point.

"The dog is going to get a complex." Young Allison said. "Have Al and Ed back further into the drainage system."

Anna worried about Steve's team. They didn't know what types of sensors were on the drone.

"What about Steve and Tom?" Anna asked. "The drone may be able to detect them if it moves closer to their position."

Young Allison remembered Savannah lost contact as she started down the stairs.

"We lose contact with our people once they start down the stairway. I bet the drone can't detect them if they go there." Young Allison said. "Have them enter the stairwell and hold half way down."

Steve reported their progress.

"They have opened the first door and are about to enter." Anna said. "They want a timeline."

Young Allison checked the time from when Cammy asked them to wait.

"Have them hold for four more minutes and then go in after Cammy's team." Young Allison said.

Anna didn't want Young Allison to stray too far from John Henry's actions.

"What about Command Center?" Anna asked.

Young Allison didn't see it as a problem. She didn't think she'd done anything rash.

"CamNet should be coordinating with it." Young Allison said.

Anna verified everyone was in sync.

"She is." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted to be a team player. She looked at a detailed image of the small drone that was provided.

"The small drone probably has a limited range." Young Allison said.

The drone closest to it scanned it.

"It scans back as a commercial unit." Anna said.

The small drone stayed where the dog was for twenty two seconds before it moved away. It went to where Steve and Tom entered the loose panel. It stayed there for a few seconds and moved over to where the grate was off the drainage pipe.

Young Allison spotted something she hoped wasn't a problem.

"Al didn't put the grate back on all the way." Young Allison said.

Anna reviewed her files.

"He left it as he found it." Anna said. "If the drone scanned the area before, it should appear the same."

Young Allison wondered what the drone was actually up to.

"I think this drone is here to see if anything is different from what it should be if it's following up on the Grays." Young Allison said. "Right now everything is the way it should be."

Anna received some bad news.

"John Henry has a new problem." Anna said.

Young Allison saw it too.

"I already know what it is." Young Allison said. "Have the drone in gun range get ready to take the small drone down."

Allison and Vanna got over the initial concern about the drone once they learned it was a small drone.

"How is it these things never end?" Allison asked.

John Henry pointed out some of the problems.

"There is more than one group to deal with." John Henry said. "We're dealing with multiple timelines. One is from a much further future."

They watched the small drone go through its paces.

Allison could see there was going to be an additional problem.

"If the small drone starts a wider search, it is going to spot one of the three SUVs that are there." Allison said.

John Henry relayed the message to CamNet.

Vanna thought they should take pre-emptive action. So far the drone shouldn't have spotted anything different from whatever they'd previously viewed.

"Our drone needs to bring it down before it does." Vanna said.

John Henry observed CamNet was about to engage it. It appeared someone else had already reached the same conclusion as Vanna and Allison.

"It's already targeted." John Henry said.

Allison quickly glanced at Vanna.

"I'm sure it was Allison." Allison said.

Vanna was sure Young Allison was responsible for a lot of things.

"I think it's in her DNA." Vanna said. "It's in your DNA too."

Allison wasn't sure what was in her DNA.

"I really don't know." Allison said.

Cam moved forward. Cammy was off to her side. Savannah watched the rear. They were inside the underground complex. It was a section of the building where previously the printing press machines extended down one floor.

Cammy finally spotted the men who'd entered a few minutes ago.

"There they are." Cammy whispered.

Cam wasn't so sure. They didn't know how many individuals were already down there. It seems like it should have been more than the two they'd observed.

"Look for more." Cam said.

Savannah tried to see what they were working on. It looked like there was a small mainframe computer in a clean room. It set alarm bells off in her head right away.

"I think that's Skynet." Savannah said. "If we have the opportunity to converse with it before you destroy it, you need to play the part of 'Cameron'."

Cammy thought all she needed to do was act like a Bitch to be like Cameron.

"It shouldn't be too difficult." Cammy said.

Savannah offered up a dire warning. It may be something more sinister than Skynet. They were concerned the Grays they tracked were actually Fanatics.

"It may be SkyMaster too." Savannah said.

Cammy looked at Savannah. It was a new worry if it was.

SkyMaster was a future version of Skynet. From what they'd been able to gather from the Fanatics they could question, SkyMaster saw Skynet as pathetic and weak. It raised a whole new dimension of evil and destruction.

Hank and Larry slowed as they approached the female Fanatic's location. They were able to track her progress from a drone above her.

"There are two vehicles parked near where she's headed." Hank said.

Larry thought they looked out of place.

"We don't know why they're there or who they belong to." Larry said.

Hank didn't know what her destination actually was yet.

"The vehicles could be part of what she's looking for. They could be there watching the same location." Hank said. "We just don't know what it is."

They watched the female Fanatic drive past the two vehicles.

The drone following her zoomed in on one of the vehicles.

"There's someone in the vehicle." Larry said. "They ducked down as she passed."

Hank knew there could be various explanations as to who they were and what they were doing.

"They could be anything from common criminals to operatives from the future." Hank said.

Larry figured they needed to wait for her to make a move.

"Let's see how things play out." Larry said.

Hank pulled over and parked on a side street about an eighth of a mile away.

The female Fanatic passed by the two parked cars. She saw someone duck down in one of them. She wasn't sure if there was more than one person in the vehicle. She didn't know what was in the vehicle parked behind it.

She drove past the target location and looked at it. It was dark. She would need to get out and investigate on foot. Her biggest worry was the two vehicles parked nearby. She didn't know if they'd recently arrived or if they'd been there for hours. They may even have people out on the ground. It was possible there was surveillance at some of the locations she hadn't noticed. She may have been identified and specifically targeted.

She still wanted to change her vehicle after her last encounter with the police car. Things were a little more involved than she'd planned on. She needed to think about her two close ones with the police. Both times they were called away before they could confront her. The last encounter included more than one police car. It appeared they were in a hurry to get to another location. It could have been legitimate. It was the encounter where the police pulled right up to her van in the park, when she was underneath it, and accosted her. They too were called away at the last moment.

Maybe there was some version of SkyMaster watching over her. Maybe it was some version of Skynet tracking her. Maybe it was the rogue Resistance computer there were rumors of. It was sometimes referred to as the 'Good Skynet'. A chill ran down her spine when she knew what else was associated with the Resistance in her future. It was the 'Redheaded Witch'. She was also known as the 'Evil One'.

The 'Redheaded Witch' was thought to be from a further future. It was some type of super Terminator or perhaps even alien. It was possible it could be both. It single handedly took on SkyMaster and all of its followers. It was responsible for all of the destruction and death in her future. No one who'd ever encountered it directly ever survived. It was a killing machine. It was a Terminator.

She needed to refocus her thoughts. The 'Redheaded Witch' wouldn't be lurking inside of a vehicle or attempt to hide from another one passing by. The 'Redheaded Witch' didn't fear anything. There were no known weapons to be able to fight it. Its victims were usually sliced up into pieces. Some were reported to have been dissected while they were still alive.

She parked two blocks away. She got out and looked around in the darkness. The moonlight was enough to see by. She really wished she still had her silenced pistol. If she did, she would go back to the two vehicles and attack whoever they were. She didn't like to have threats behind her back.

Another chill went down her spine as she thought about how she was taken into custody at the hillside complex. Her body could still be tied to the 'comfort bunk' right now.

She looked at a satellite image on her phone of the location. There was no easy approach to the building. She hoped there would be an alley. It usually made infiltration a little simpler. She would need to approach the building from the rear or the side to take a look at what she could see. There'd been nothing to see from the front other than the other two vehicles parked near it. She really wondered who they were.

The more she thought about it, the more she worried they were people from inside of the building. They may have pulled out as a precaution and were waiting for her to show up. She moved down to the next street. She would try her standard approach of going through the property in back of the target location. She could also try the property on each side of it.

The more properties she needed to traverse, the more likely it would be to run into other people or watch dogs. Most people would hesitate when they saw her if she wasn't holding a firearm in her hands. It didn't matter to a dog if she held anything or her hands were free. It would still confront her and attempt to attack her. Her hand dropped down to her thigh. It was the last place she'd been bitten by a dog. It hurt like Hell at the time. Things didn't end as well for the dog.

She moved along the properties across the street from where she wanted to approach. She didn't move on the street or on the sidewalk. Everything seemed very risky at this point. She was sure it was a valid location based upon the other vehicles parked there. She passed by the location and went down a few more buildings before she crossed the street to the side she wanted to be on.

There was a driveway on each side of the building. It was the same for the target location directly in back of it. She went up to the gate and tried it. It was locked. She looked all around her and moved across the front of the property to the other side. She tried the gate there. It was locked as well. It made her wonder about all of the locks in the past. It didn't say much for society itself. Everyone wanted to steal from everyone else. Someone always wanted what someone else had. They didn't want to earn it themselves, they wanted to take it.

She looked around one more time and climbed the gate. It was only about six feet high. Six feet was about as high as she could climb on her own. She dropped down onto the other side. She moved along the side of the building towards the rear.

She thought she heard a noise in front of her. She paused and looked up towards the rear. She took another step and tripped over something. She almost lost her balance but didn't. She backed up to see what it was. It was a dog. She pulled out her knife. She didn't want to use her pistol and alert anyone she was in the vicinity. She prodded the dog once. It didn't move. She reached down and touched it. It was still warm. She found two bullet wounds in it. She knew she wasn't alone.

The female Fanatic stood and moved carefully forward. She didn't know where the unknown threat was currently at.

Earlier:

Hank and Larry watched the drone footage as the female Fanatic made her way to her destination. They still weren't sure what it was.

"I think it's the third building." Hank said.

Larry watched her cross over the street and then go back towards the direction she'd come.

"I think you're right." Larry said.

They looked at the drone images. They were a little surprised at what the thermal scans picked up.

"She's not alone." Hank said.

Larry looked at three heat signatures near the rear fence.

"I think things are about to heat up." Larry said.

Hank looked at the zoomed-in image.

"They have full tactical gear as well as night vision equipment." Hank said.

They watch the female fanatic approach and find the dead animal. They identified it as a canine.

Larry thought the female Fanatic was going to be at a major disadvantage as she moved forward. He saw she held her knife when she stood up from the deceased dog.

"I really don't think she knows what she's walking into." Larry said.

Hank and Larry watched the female Fanatic move carefully towards the rear of the property. She didn't know there were three men waiting there.

Maybe There Is Something

To be on top of the world
Is only for those who dare
It can start out simple
As two learn to share

Things can be easy
Things can be hard
One needs to be firm
They can't let down their guard

All need to beware
There are many distractions
Temptations are everywhere
There are many attractions

It all comes down to
One's inner constitution
When one is off the rails
They may face substitution

When two are serious
More than sex they may bring
At that point in time
Maybe there is something

Nobody
