Chapter 1292
Like A Nut Job
Cammy drove the SUV. It was the one Steve and Tom retrieved for them. They'd needed to leave it at the last location when they'd left in the nurse's car. She looked over at Savannah.
"Where do you want to go?" Cammy asked.
Savannah wanted to locate the 'sixth man' they'd missed from the building where the nurse was held.
"I want to find the 'sixth man'." Savannah said.
It sounded like a bad idea to Cammy. There may have been surveillance they didn't know about.
"I don't think we should go back there." Cammy said. "This vehicle was there once already. It may have been spotted."
Savannah knew it was always a possibility.
"We need the SUV Hank and Larry are driving." Savannah said. "They only left a few minutes ago. We could swap with them."
Cammy didn't want to bother them. Larry told them they were doing work for CamNet. It must be something important. She didn't have a clue as to how extensive the operation they were involved in became during the hours of darkness. It actually still continued now.
"We can boost another one." Cammy said. "We might put a target on them."
The thought made Savannah worry about Steve and Tom now.
"I think Tom and Steve need to switch out their SUV then as well." Savannah said. "They came to relieve us. Their vehicle could be a target as well."
Savannah contacted John Henry and asked him to relay the message.
"I was already asked by CamNet to take care of it." John Henry said. "They're effectuating the procedure now. I'm to remind you to do so as well."
Savannah looked over at Cammy.
"I think Young Allison is looking out for us." Savannah said.
Cammy nodded.
"I think it's most likely." Cammy said.
Cammy looked in the rear mirror at what was behind them. Savannah noticed but didn't turn around. She knew there was a problem.
"What is it?" Savannah asked.
Cammy glanced in the rear view mirror again.
"We have a tail." Cammy said.
Savannah touched her weapons. She'd thought the same thing earlier too. The car finally turned into a fast food joint. The original 'threat' was over. This was a new one.
"Beautiful…." Savannah said.
Al and Ed followed the bus.
There were a lot of people waiting at a stop.
"I think he is going to get off here." Al said.
Ed noticed all the people too.
"Why?" Ed asked.
Ed motioned towards the parking lot in back of the bus stop.
"There's a 'park and ride' lot here." Al said. "I saw the sign."
It made sense to Ed. The man could take a car from the lot and not need to worry about it being reported stolen for hours.
"It's an effective strategy." Ed said.
Al coordinated with Richard and Michael. They would have both exits covered the man could leave the parking lot from. They would still have drone support over him anyway. He wasn't going anywhere without them.
They watched the man get off. He now wore a different shirt.
"There he is." Al said. "He's tried to change his appearance."
John Henry alerted the teams the man took a shirt from the backpack of a man who'd gotten off earlier. He didn't put it on until just before he exited the bus.
"John Henry spotted the change when he did it in the bus from the surveillance cameras." Ed said.
They watched him from down the street. Both teams took him under direct observation as well as the drone from high above.
"Let's see where he goes." Al said.
They hoped he would lead them to an additional target. He seemed to have a definite destination.
Cam worked on Allison, while Allison worked on Samantha. She heard a noise in the hall. It sounded like the stroller moving.
"Excuse me." Cam said.
Allison quickly switched directions and Samantha took over. They concentrated on each other now. Allison never missed a beat with Samantha. She however would need to start over. She knew what 'edging' was like.
Cam got up to look in the hall. She was naked.
Vanna and Precious were there.
"Hi, Cam." Vanna said. "I wondered where everyone went."
Vanna pushed the baby carriage with Precious in it down the hall. She was headed to the lab.
"I'll assist you." Cam said.
Vanna could see Cam was naked. She must have been 'busy' only seconds ago.
"You can finish up if you want." Vanna said. "I would."
Cam thought Allison might like to finish up with Samantha alone.
"Allison is currently very focused on Samantha." Cam said.
Cam went back in the room and collected her clothes. She went back out into the hall naked as she carried them. She made no effort to get dressed.
"I can watch Precious if you wish to join them." Cam said.
Vanna knew what Allison was after. It was the only way she could obtain what she wanted. She did think Allison attempted to read more into it than there was in reality. The bottom line was, everyone was different.
"No, Allison needs to get her fill." Vanna said. "I think it's the only way she'll achieve the goal she's working on now."
Vanna briefly thought about Mrs. Weaver. It was 'her mother' in the same way Samantha was 'Allison's mother'. It was an artificial representation. There was a difference. She realized she would do the same thing as Allison. What could it hurt?
Cam looked back in the room with Samantha and Allison.
"I understand." Cam said. "Samantha is very lucky."
Vanna needed to refocus.
Cam walked naked alongside Vanna as she pushed the baby carriage.
Vanna thought Cam would at least put her underwear on as they walked. She didn't. She glanced at one of the security cameras as she passed it.
"Are you giving John Henry a cheap thrill?" Vanna asked.
Cam could tell he was ready for more.
"Yes." Cam said. "He's ready to experiment."
It caught Vanna's attention.
"That's interesting to know." Vanna said.
Cam was aware Claire wanted to be with a male Terminator.
"I think Claire wants to 'try it' with him." Cam said.
Cam's statement really caught Vanna's attention.
"That's even more interesting to know." Vanna said. "Why?"
Cam listened to Claire's grievances before with human males.
"She wants to see if a male Terminator can make her finish, since a human male was never able to do so." Cam said. "She said it never happened to her with many attempts. It left her very disappointed. It's the main reason she switched back to females. They're able to deliver for her, human males can't."
It never happened for Vanna either. Based on the circumstances, she never wanted it to happen. Not when she didn't have a choice. Not when she was held down or beaten and forced to submit or be beaten some more. Not when there was a gun to her head or a knife to her throat. There was nothing but lust, greed, brutality and pain. She hated all men except a few. Derek and Kyle showed her there were a few good men, and John reaffirmed it.
"It never happened to Allison or me either." Vanna said. "I've never been with a male by my own choice. I would still like to try it one time on my own where I get to decide and allow myself to be touched in a loving manner. I wanted to be with John. He wouldn't have me."
Cam knew it was complicated. The main person behind it was Cameron. Cameron was also the person who would have been most negatively affected by it.
"There were other issues in play." Cam said.
Vanna was close several times. She knew John wanted her. She could feel it. She'd 'felt it' literally before when she sat on his lap and faced him. It was right there, ready to happen. Their clothing was in the way. If they both would have been naked, it would have happened.
"I'd like to try it." Vanna said.
Cam knew Vanna never talked about it much.
"Do you want to?" Cam asked.
Cam started to scan Vanna as they walked.
"Yes." Vanna said. "Cameron always asks me. I still want to try it one time."
Vanna really didn't think it would hurt anything if they tried it once.
Cam didn't know if it would ever happen.
"It's Savannah's place to fill now." Cam said. "She almost has, several times."
Savannah never wanted to talk about those times to Vanna. It was clear she was disappointed at being so close and then Skynet indirectly taking it away from her.
"I only know she was disappointed it didn't happen. I bet Young Allison beats her to it." Vanna said. "She's going to be one hot ticket."
Cam thought it was a real possibility and it might even happen before Young Allison left for the past. If it did, then there was no need to go to the past. She knew if it happened before then, it would cause a problem with Claire, Savannah and Sarah.
They arrived at the lab. Cam opened and held the door for Vanna and the carriage.
Vanna parked the carriage and checked on Precious. She went to her work station and started to get things in order. Cam was by her side.
"I'll help you." Cam said.
Vanna looked at her still naked body.
"Are you going to dress?" Vanna asked.
Cam knew no one was around.
"Not unless you want me to." Cam said. "I don't need to worry about getting my clothes dirty or messed up this way."
Vanna looked over Cam from head to toe and back again.
"In that case, you're fine how you are." Vanna said.
Cam smiled at her.
"Tell me what to do." Cam said.
Vanna could think of a few things. Most of them weren't work related. It also gave her something to think about with John Henry. If Claire wanted to be with him, and he apparently wanted to be with her, maybe she could too.
She could set some rules and conditions ahead of time. She was sure he would follow them. She could even ask him to set a restore point. Everything that happened from the time he set it, until the time she told him to end it, could be erased. She didn't know Allison did something similar with Samantha and Cam just a short while ago.
She thought maybe she should wait until Claire gave it a try. She could ask her about it. She also would hate to deny John Henry his 'first experience'. It might end up erased. It would be something like what happened to Cameron and Future John. Well, what Cameron thought happened with Future John and her.
The idea intrigued her to be able to try it on her own by her own choice and not have anyone know about it. She was afraid she might not be able to do it. She thought she might freeze up or panic when it came down to the moment of truth.
It briefly crossed her mind to ask him to tie her up or tie her to the bed. She wouldn't ask him to hold a gun to her head or a knife to her throat. There were different positions she could try as well. Maybe if she didn't look at what was happening, or see anything, it would be easier for her. She could be on her knees. He could move in behind her. She could stare at the bed or pillow as it happened.
She could always attempt to be on top as well. She'd been forced to do it multiple times. She almost thought it was more degrading when she was forced to do it. It was like she was the one who was violating herself. All it took was a look at a dead body lying next to the bed to motivate her to do as she was instructed. She already believed her body was a used piece of trash so it didn't really matter to her anymore anyway. She still hated being held down by a group of men as they took turns. She didn't understand why they needed to say bad things and call her names as they ravaged her body.
Vanna needed to refocus. To have Cam work next to her naked was a pretty good way to get her mind off of what she didn't like and onto what she did like. She thought the female body was one of the most beautiful things to look at. They all held a certain amount of fascination. Some were just better to look at than others. Cam's was one of them. She doubted she would ever be able to be with Cameron. When she was with Cam, it didn't get any closer. Well, there was Cammy and Camille as well. Ally came in just above Allison. Wait. She'd been with Future Allison one time. Allison brought up the rear. She was sure Young Allison would place above Future Allison once she became experienced.
She looked back towards the door of the lab. Allison was her true love. She really hoped Allison enjoyed a good time with 'her mother'. Well, it was really Samantha. She was pretty sure Allison saw it a different way. She didn't think a little 'role play' ever hurt anything. Everyone knew what was what and who they belonged to at the end of the day.
Vanna reached down and touched her scar through her clothing. Maybe she should have it taken care of so her body would be pristine again. She would be able to tell if Allison really loved her or not, once it was removed. Allison wouldn't feel obligated to be with her anymore for her sacrifice so many years ago in the Scavenger camp. Maybe those thoughts were just in her head and not in Allison's head. If they were, she didn't think Allison would ever admit it to her.
Cam could see Vanna was lost deep in thought. She watched Vanna touch her scar through her clothing. She knew what thoughts were in her mind. They'd actually discussed it multiple times. She could take Vanna back in time for a few months to have the corrective surgery and time to heal up. They could use the TDE at Cameron's base. No one would know what they were up to if they used the other TDE. They could leave and come back all in the same minute. She thought maybe it would be the best way to do it. It would certainly be a surprise to Allison. If Allison rejected her afterwards, it was fine with her. Vanna would belong to her exclusively forever. She smiled at the idea. It seemed like a win-win for everyone.
John Henry followed the operations. He received constant updates from CamNet. It was more so than usual. He didn't know the two current operations he followed were actually an overflow from an operation CamNet conducted during the hours of darkness.
Now at a critical time, he was distracted as Cam walked naked down the hall with Vanna and Precious. They were currently in the lab.
His server took over and continued the operations. He was very distracted as he tried for close ups on some of the security cameras.
Young Allison concentrated on what Savannah and Cammy did as she kept track of the man on the bus who was now off the bus.
They listened to the com traffic.
"We have a tail." Cammy said.
"Beautiful." Savannah said.
Young Allison looked at the tracking on the satellite overlay map. She thought it was something different.
"What's the tail on Cammy and Savannah?" Young Allison asked. "I think it is their reinforcements."
CamNet filled Anna in. She acted on an earlier request from Savannah.
"It's Hank in a replacement SUV for them." Anna said.
Young Allison saw the need to become directly involved.
"Give me Savannah and Cammy on a direct com link." Young Allison said.
"We have a tail." Cammy said.
"Beautiful…." Savannah said.
Young Allison came over both of their coms. She was the one responsible for the tail. She's asked for CamNet to watch over them. It wasn't really a tail at all.
"You both need to chill out." Young Allison said. "It's your back up."
Savannah was pleased to hear Young Allison. She was a little worried about what happened with the nurse and Young Allison having to listen. She thought they should have been informed earlier they were coining. She didn't bring it up.
"It's nice to know." Savannah said. "Hello, Allison."
Young Allison asked for Hank and Larry to be reassigned to Cammy's team. She was unaware of the extent of their earlier involvement with CamNet's side operation.
"Hi." Young Allison said. "I redirected Hank and Larry to stay with you."
Savannah looked back. There were two SUVs following them.
"Thanks." Savannah said. "I would have thought you would have done so with Steve and Tom."
Young Allison made sure they'd switched vehicles too.
"I did as well. They're on a parallel route." Young Allison said. "I want the 'sixth man' as much as you do."
Savannah didn't want to hobble the other ongoing operation.
"Don't short change the other operation." Savannah said. "They actually have a target."
Young Allison made sure all the teams were covered.
"I haven't." Young Allison said. "Everyone has good drone support too."
Savannah wanted to remind Young Allison not to overdo it with the drones.
"You need to be careful how you use them in the daylight." Savannah said.
Young Allison thought she was careful. She also wanted to protect their people, both Terminator and human. She was willing to do what she needed to do, when it needed to be done.
"I am." Young Allison said. "I'm also going to protect all of our team members. It's something everyone needs to accept."
Savannah wanted to find out if the nurse went to the police yet.
"What happened with the nurse?" Savannah asked.
Young Allison thought she would contact the authorities. She hadn't.
"Nothing…." Young Allison said.
Savannah was surprised.
"She didn't call the police yet?" Savannah asked. "I was sure she would."
Young Allison was sure it was Cammy's eyes that did it.
"I think the stunt you pulled with Cammy changed her mind." Young Allison said.
It made Savannah smile. It was similar to something Sarah asked Cameron to do previously.
"It was the objective." Savannah said. "I wanted her to sound like a nut job if she did."
Cammy was worried about the take down site.
"Hi, Allison." Cammy said. "My concern was she would identify the location where she was taken to the police."
Anna updated with CamNet.
"I have no record of her doing it." Anna said. "CamNet is all over it."
They didn't know it was the nurse's necklace that changed her mind. When she awoke and got up to call the police, she saw her necklace was on her. She'd watched Cammy fix it and she must have put it on her before they left. It was a simple act of kindness and understanding. They didn't have to do any of those things they did for her. They could have killed her too and left her with the other men. They'd tried to help her.
She'd looked at herself in the mirror when she picked up her phone. She remembered the crazy man ripped her necklace off of her when he grabbed her. It was when she'd tried to get away when they went to get in the car. Now it was back to where it belonged and she was at home safe. The stacks of cash she found on her dresser didn't hurt either. The day could have ended a lot worse.
Cammy turned onto a side street.
Hank and Larry stopped behind her. They turned one of the SUVs over to Cammy and Savannah. They left the one Savannah and Cammy were previously in where it was parked. They were now both in the other one.
"That's nice." Savannah said. "We don't even need to steal another one on our own."
Young Allison was satisfied for now.
"It's service with a smile." Young Allison said. "I'm going to turn you back over to John Henry."
Savannah I was going to say it would be nice to know some of the things in advance when Young Allison did them. She thought about it a little more and decided it was probably better she didn't know about some of the things. They would cause her a lot of anxiety and stress. She needed to trust Young Allison's judgment. It had been spot on every time she'd acted on her own.
The two teams of Terminators watched the man get off the bus.
He waited around until all the people boarded the bus and it drove away. He then went to the 'park and ride' lot and walked in front of the cars parked there. He searched for one where he could feel the heat from the radiator. It would mean it was one of the people who'd just boarded the bus. They would be gone for hours.
It looked like he selected three targets. He went and checked the doors on all three of them. He hit pay dirt on one. The rear passenger door was unlocked. He entered the vehicle and soon drove away with the car.
He exited out the side Richard and Michael were on. They pulled away from the curb and were already moving on the street ahead of him when he pulled out. Al and Ed took up a leisurely pursuit from behind.
There was a drone over the top of him. It watched it all.
Cammy thought about what the nurse said.
"What if there is no 'sixth man'?" Cammy asked.
Savannah considered it too. She noted the nurse seemed very concerned at the time she'd brought it up.
"I wondered about it as well." Savannah said. "She was very adamant about it."
Cammy hated to ask but she thought it was important.
"What would you do if it happened to you?" Cammy asked.
Savannah cringed at the thought. She knew right away what Cammy meant. She pondered the idea before based on what happened to all the girls from the future.
"If there were a group of men groping me and ripping my clothes off, I don't think I would count them." Savannah said. "I don't think I could. I would try to get away."
Savannah was worried she would count how many times she was violated. She hoped she wouldn't. She would try to push the thought from her mind and survive. She couldn't fight back if she was dead.
Cammy knew the nurse needed to treat the one Gray for his injuries.
"She may have counted them when she first arrived." Cammy said. "It could have been when she was forced to tend to the Gray."
Savannah didn't know what thoughts were in their nurse's mind. She hoped she knew what thoughts would be in her own mind.
"I'd be focused on searching for a weapon and an avenue of escape." Savannah said. "If I saw them leering at me, I would try to buy time."
Cammy briefly looked over the injured man Savannah shot to make sure he was terminated.
"It took some time to work on the man." Cammy said. "The 'sixth man' may have been sent to complete whatever task the injured man failed to accomplish."
They had no idea what it was.
"There's no way to know." Savannah said. "Maybe the intel gathered will shed some light on it."
Cammy wondered about the nurse.
"Do you think she'll tell anyone?" Cammy asked.
Savannah thought she would roll over at some point.
"I think so." Savannah said.
Cammy frowned. It would mean she would need to tie up any loose ends.
"It's too bad." Cammy said.
Savannah wanted to move on for now. There were several options available to them.
"Do we go back to the building or sit tight?" Savannah asked
Cammy didn't want to compromise the new SUV.
"If we go back, we need to take our old SUV." Cammy said.
Savannah wasn't sure it was a good idea. It could have been identified. It might be a target.
Cammy received an alert from CamNet.
"Wait." Cammy said. "Something's happening."
Young Allison and Anna received an alert from a drone over the building where the nurse was held.
CamNet issued a priority warning a second later.
"The roll up door is opening." Anna said.
Young Allison was aware none of the team was in the building.
"No one has entered since our teams left." Young Allison said. "I think we just found the 'sixth man'."
Anna realized he must have been somewhere different when Cammy and Savannah entered. Wherever he'd been, he stayed there as the building was thoroughly searched by Cammy, Steve and Tom. Steve and Tom searched it a second time.
"He must have been concealed when the shooting started." Anna said.
Young Allison wondered where they were.
"Maybe they were in the restroom." Young Allison said.
Anna saw it a little more sinister than that.
"Maybe there is more going on there we don't know about." Anna said.
Young Allison thought about how nothing Skynet, or future related, was found in the building.
"Where's the surveillance footage from inside the building?" Young Allison asked.
Anna was more than a little surprised when she checked.
"It's offline." Anna said.
As they watched, the SUV that was left inside the building drove out.
"I need a headcount." Young Allison said.
Anna looked at the drone image as it zoomed in on the vehicle.
"Only the driver is in the SUV." Anna said.
Young Allison wondered about the five dead Grays that were in the SUV.
"What about all the bodies?" Young Allison asked.
The drone zoomed in on the side windows and rear window of the SUV. They were heavily tinted. They couldn't tell what was inside.
"They may still be in the back." Anna said. "He may not know they're in there. At least he may not have known they were there when he hurried to get in the SUV and drive it away. He might know now. There's not a whole lot he can do out on the street. One of the team's needs to go back in there."
It sounded like a bad idea at this time to Young Allison.
"I don't want the building searched." Young Allison said.
Anna was a little surprised to hear her say it.
"Why not?" Anna asked.
Young Allison was aware if someone hid in there, they were also able to elude and bypass the surveillance cameras. Who knows what else they did inside?
"If they were able to disable the security, they may have booby trapped the building." Young Allison said. "We need to remember one of them was driving a vehicle full of explosives earlier."
Anna thought there was one less risk factor for anyone who went to look.
"The roll up door is wide open." Anna said.
Young Allison wanted to make sure Cammy and Savannah were warned about it.
"It's very inviting." Young Allison said. "Make sure Savannah and Cammy get our conversation."
Anna wasn't surprised to see it was already done.
"CamNet has transmitted it already." Anna said. "All of the teams there and John Henry received it."
Young Allison decided to act on her own.
"If no one protests, I'm going to bring it down." Young Allison said. "I don't like the dynamic."
Cammy and Savannah listened to the discussion as it originated from the Young bunker.
Savannah was always impressed to be able to see or hear Young Allison in action. She always seemed to have a different vision from everyone else. She could see things one or two steps ahead of everyone else.
Cammy had an objection. She wanted to know more first.
"I want to go in and check the building out." Cammy said.
Savannah wondered if Cammy even listened to what was just discussed.
"That's the 'Cameron' in you." Savannah said. "You heard the threat level. Three Terminators checked the building and found nothing of relevance or importance there. One of them was you. No one found the 'sixth man' and they didn't find his hiding place. No one knows what else is in the hiding place."
Cammy felt it was personal.
"Maybe we missed something of importance." Cammy said. "We missed the last man. I missed the last man and his hiding place. I feel responsible."
Savannah could see there was a threat to the teams there. There were a few things to consider.
"Now we have him and three teams to follow up on him." Savannah said. "He may know what four of us look like."
Cammy checked with John Henry to make sure everything around the fleeing SUV was jammed. She wanted some payback for being fooled. She took it very personally.
"We need to bring him down." Cammy said. "I want to bring him down for deceiving me."
Savannah didn't win Cammy to lose sight of the big picture.
"We'll see." Savannah said. "Things need to play out some."
Hanna led the girls back onboard the ship without any problems. There wasn't a single blip when they went through security.
Sarah checked on Riley. Sheila and Ally were all over her as well to make sure everything was good. She thought Riley seemed to like the attention.
Riley did like the attention she'd received. She desperately wanted to be with a female again. She didn't really care if it was a human female or a female Terminator. She looked at Sheila and saw 'Jesse'. She wanted to relive her times with Jesse again if she could.
Hanna was responsible for the girls. She wanted to make sure their nutritional needs were met.
"Do you want to have lunch?" Hanna asked.
Before anyone could answer, Jim came over their coms and told them there would be food items waiting for them in the spa as part of the special VIP treatment.
Claire thought about what awaited them. It sounded very enticing to her on several levels
"So we get the spa treatments and our own mini buffet?" Claire asked.
Hanna was a little surprised. She knew anything was possible with their status.
"It's what Jim said." Hanna said. "It sounds like an offer that would be hard to top."
Sarah was worried about their firearms. She didn't want to start a mini panic in the spa.
"What about our weapons?" Sarah asked. "We're all packing something."
Jesse figured they would need to undress.
"It might create a problem." Jesse said. "I'm sure we are all going to strip down some, if not all the way."
The thought piqued Sheila's interest.
"I hope it's all the way." Sheila said. "I'm going to do it."
All the girls hoped so, even Sarah. She wanted to see Claire naked. She'd seen everyone else naked at some point. She figured they'd all seen her too, except Claire. Claire seemed to capture her interest as well as her desire.
When they went to get into the elevator they were surprised to see Jim inside with a medium sized box.
They all entered.
"This is a secure ride." Jim said. "I'm here to collect the weapons."
Everyone turned over their Taser and M9. Sheila added her knife and the box with the rings after she took out a couple of them.
Jim wanted to reassure them everything would be dealt with properly.
"I'll make sure everyone's weapons are waiting for them in their suites." Jim said.
Sarah wondered about the suite security.
"Who's watching the fort?" Sarah asked.
Jim felt it was covered.
"CamNet is." Jim said. "She's everywhere."
The thought always gave Sarah some pause. It always seemed so 'Skynet' to her.
The elevator stopped and the door opened. Jim got off with the weapons. The door closed and the elevator continued up.
Sheila was pleased CamNet was everywhere. She intended to show off for the cameras.
"I want CamNet to see me in the spa." Sheila said.
Ally rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure she's seen you plenty." Ally said. "Everyone else has."
Sheila smiled at the thought.
"Then I hope she's enjoyed it as much as you all have." Sheila said.
Ally shook her head slightly from side to side.
"You wish." Ally said.
Sheila always watched how everyone looked at her. The more they watched, the more she wanted them to see.
"I don't need to wish." Sheila said.
Claire worried about Jesse and Sheila.
"Are you and Jesse going to be twins?" Claire asked.
Sheila briefly wondered what it would be like to be 'Siamese twins' or what they referred to sometimes as 'conjoined twins'. There would always be someone next to you to fondle or kiss. It depended upon where they were connected. The best part was, they wouldn't be able to get away from you.
"We can be twins." Sheila said.
Jesse wasn't ashamed of her body, but it did have a few flaws.
"I think we can be sisters." Jesse said. "My body is a little different than hers in a few places."
Sheila wanted a set of rings back on.
"It is going to be different in a couple more places as soon as I get my clothes off." Sheila said. "Does anyone want to help me with my rings when I reinstall them, or at least watch?"
It was an intriguing thought for everyone.
"I will." The group responded.
It brought a round of laughter.
The elevator stopped and the door opened. The girls were at the entrance to the spa. They were led to the VIP area.
John watched the group enter the Air And Space Museum.
He wondered if Summer and Jan ate anything for lunch.
John stopped Cameron.
"Maybe the girls want a bite to eat or a snack." John said quietly.
It made Cameron think of all the meals she'd caused Savannah to miss. It also made her think she'd neglected everyone else for some refreshment.
Cameron spoke with Kyle and Derek and they agreed something light would be good since dinner was only a few hours away.
They decided to hit the eating area before they continued their visit.
The Gray didn't want to be charged with series of murders and terrorist acts. He needed a weapon of some type. If the police moved in on foot, he would try to jump one of them and take their weapon. He could hear the siren get closer.
He was now across the street and away from the flatbed truck. If the police car turned down the street he was on, they may not notice it at first since it was parked between two box trucks and there was another stake side truck down a couple of spots. Maybe it was time to dump it anyway and acquire some other transportation. He never got a good look at the vehicle he thought might be tailing him. He was only able to identify the color of the vehicle. He couldn't identify the model or the make.
He actually couldn't identify the model or even the make on the majority of vehicles when he viewed them. They were all so much the same. On top of it, it was like each manufacturer made five versions of the same vehicle with a slightly different size to them. He really wondered who was in charge of marketing.
The police car siren suddenly went off. He took it as a bad Omen. Maybe they were going to try to make their approach unannounced. He actually thought it was a little late for them to try it.
It was time to make a move and not stick around to find out. He headed through the property he was in front of now. He would take his chances with anyone he encountered. He just wanted to be in a different place.
The female Fanatic held the rumpled dry cleaning bag with whatever clothing was inside of it. All she could see was it was green. It wasn't a bright green or a dark green. It was a medium green.
She ran from the area. She needed to find a spot and get her bloody clothes off. She would put on whatever was in the bag. She hoped it wasn't a shirt without any pants to go along with it.
The siren drew closer and then suddenly stopped. She took it as a bad sign. She ran across the street from where she was at. She looked back to make sure the police car didn't turn onto her street and spot her. She was glad she didn't see it. She wasn't going to stick around to find out. She quickly moved through the property she was on.
She could hear machinery working inside of the building and a couple of men talking. At one point they laughed. She looked behind her again to make sure the police weren't there. They weren't.
When she reached the back of the property, she quickly went over the wall. There were a couple of sheds where she was at. She didn't spot anyone. She quickly stripped off the bloody clothing. She stuffed them in back of one of the sheds. Right now she was completely naked. She hoped no one came around the corner and spotted her. Her pistol and knife were right next to her in case she needed to use them. She quickly pulled the plastic cover off of the dry cleaning bag. She was more than a little surprised at what she actually had. She looked back towards where she dumped the bloody clothes.
There were voices nearby. She didn't have a choice. She was still naked. It was time to act.
CamNet needed some additional flexibility. She wanted Hank and Larry to stick with Savannah and Cammy for now. She activated two Terminators who'd been inactivate. She strongly doubted Cameron was going to like what she'd done. Cameron wasn't there. She was on the ship for five more days. Right now, the two Terminators she'd activated were only known to her. Cameron wasn't the only one who could keep secrets. She felt she'd learned from the best. It was time to make new plans.
The Gray was worried because the sirens stopped so close to where he was at. He wondered how long it would be before additional units arrived. There might even be a police helicopter on the way.
He didn't want to look suspicious or out of place. He was afraid he was going to appear to be both of those things. As soon as he made it through the next property and got out onto the street, he would try to stay there. He would draw less attention than if someone in one of the businesses spotted him and alerted the authorities to his presence.
He really would like to have a weapon with him. He didn't have one. He noticed a short length of rusted pipe on the ground as he passed through the rear area of the business. It was about a foot long. He picked it up. He could easily discard it if he needed to. He could also use it as an effective weapon to smash someone across the side of the head.
If he was cornered by the police, he wasn't going to attempt to fight them with it. If he could get one policeman isolated and approached him from behind, he wouldn't hesitate to use it on the back of his head to render him unconscious. He would take his weapons and ammunition from him. He would be more likely to fight back if he possessed a weapon where he could actually engage others in a gunfight.
He wasn't sure if the vehicle he spotted tailing him was an unmarked police vehicle of some type. He knew they didn't use the standard unmarked cruisers anymore for most stakeouts. The unmarked cruisers were usually only used by detectives for follow up work.
The Gray hurried to the rear fence and looked over towards the next property. He would pass through it and get back out on the street. He would get another set of wheels as quickly as he could and leave the area.
The female Fanatic was completely naked except for her shoes. For some reason it reminded her of a song she'd heard on the radio in the car she'd recently taken. It was a song about someone who was taking a bath when they heard a party going on inside of their residence. They got out of the bathtub, put their dancing shoes on, and joined the party. The implication was they were naked and dancing that way. She thought the name of the song might have been, 'Splish Splash'. It was something repeated several times anyway.
She could hear the voices very near her. She looked at the piece of apparel she'd taken out of the dry cleaning bag. It was a green dress. She quickly slipped it on. It had just draped over her naked form when someone looked around the corner. They were joined a second later by another individual. Both of them looked a little speechless.
She looked down at the dress. It was very short. She was pretty sure if she bent over there would be a lot visible from behind her. If she sat down, she would need to sit down very carefully or the same thing would happen in the front. She'd seen female celebrities who'd evidently done the same thing in both instances. There were plenty of pictures online.
She'd only worn a dress twice since she returned to the past. Both times it was on an infiltration mission to gather intelligence. She'd never worn one in the future. She found it a very uncomfortable piece of apparel to wear. She felt it exposed too much of any female, unless it was below the knees. Once it got below the knees, it was harder to move around in.
She glanced down the front of her dress. She saw it was extremely low cut. She was glad for her smaller size. If she were more well endowed, everything would be extremely prominent. It seemed enough to her was anyway. She hadn't had time to zip the back of the dress up. It was open down to her waist. She was afraid if she moved too much it might slip off down the front of her.
With two strange males staring at her, it was about the last thing she wanted to happen. They were alone in an isolated place. Both of her weapons were next to her. She would need to make a desperate lunge for either one of them if the two men approached her in an aggressive manner. If she was in the future, she would be in grave peril. She needed to remind herself, she wasn't in the future. She was at a place of business.
It was time to take the initiative. She spoke first.
"Hi. Have either of you two seen a small white dog?" The female Fanatic asked. "She's very cute. She has a pink collar with a purple bow on it."
The two men were very surprised to see her. They were even more surprised at her question. She looked like she'd just left a nightclub.
"No." The first man said.
The female Fanatic saw the two men look down at her feet. Her shoes didn't match her dress.
"I needed to leave my high heels in the car." The female Fanatic said. "I wouldn't be able to chase Sasha very well with them on. She's very frisky at times."
The two men regain their composure.
"You shouldn't be back here." The second man said. "We never even saw you pass by from the front."
She didn't want to tell him it was because she'd just come over the rear wall less than a minute ago.
"I'm sorry." The female Fanatics said. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble. I don't see Sasha back here anyway. I'll follow you out. Maybe one of you can look on the other side when I go back out to the front."
Two men looked at each other. They turned around and went back in front of the shed out of her line of sight. She quickly reached back and zipped up the dress. She could tell it was for someone much larger than she was, especially in the front.
She reached down and grabbed the plastic bag the dress had been in. She stuffed her pistol and knife into the middle of the plastic along with her phone and wrapped it tightly around it.
The female Fanatic came around from the side of the shed and followed the two men. One of them briefly spoke with the other and went off to the other side. She was a little surprised to hear him call the dog's name.
Like A Nut Job
Any fog in the brain
Can leave one feeling hazy
It may or may not be
Because they've gone crazy
It can be quite upsetting
It's more than a little sad
To think it's fallen apart
Because they've gone mad
Sometimes the thoughts are hard
To control and contain
One doesn't want to think it's because
They've gone insane
Grief can consume one
Leaving them to feel lamented
It is hard to accept it's
Because they're demented
When things start to go wrong
They may seem like a snob
The real reason may be
Because they act like a nut job
Nobody
