Chapter 1295


That Looks Hot


Holly and the girls went through security with no problem. They walked towards the elevator bank. One door opened as they approached. They entered and got in. The door closed behind them. Their floor was already lit. It opened on their level. They entered the private area. They went in the door to their suite. Their swimwear was all laid out for them along with some towels.

Summer smiled as she looked at the swimwear laid out on the bed.

"I can see someone was expecting us." Summer said.

Holly was pleased to see everything was ready.

"Someone's always looking out for us." Holly said.

Jan picked up one of the towels.

"I saw there were towels by the pool." Jan said. "I don't think we need to take these with us."

Holly didn't want the girls on 'display' as they went to or from the pool.

"They're for us to 'cover up' with when we walk down there." Holly said. "You'll be wet when we come back. It will make you feel cold."

Holly heard all the stories from Allison and wanted to protect the girls as much as possible.

Summer understood what the real reason was. Holly didn't want Jan and her to be ogled.

"Let's get ready." Summer said.

Jan looked at Holly. She hadn't started to undress.

"Are you going to go in the pool with us?" Jan asked.

Holly smiled at her.

"I don't swim." Holly said.

Jan didn't give up easily.

"You can still go in the shallow end." Jan said.

Holly was aware the pools on the ship weren't very deep.

"I can walk around the bottom of the deep end." Holly said.

Jan and Summer laughed.

Summer wanted to use a little positive reinforcement.

"Holly looks even more beautiful in a bikini." Summer said. "She's going to go with us."

Holly decided she would wear a bikini to keep any wandering eyes on her and not the girls. The stories from Allison, Vanna and Jesse when they were younger worried her.

"Of course I'm going with you." Holly said. "I don't want anyone to look at either of you for more than just a second."

The girls all stripped down and changed.

Jan looked at Holly as she put her bikini top on. She knew only Gail was bigger than Holly.

"Wow! I can see what you mean now." Jan said. "You're stacked."

Holly glanced down. It was just how her sheath was. She'd considered doing age regression so she could be a little smaller. She'd actually gone back a few years without hardly any change at all. She didn't want Allison to reject her. She resumed her previous age appearance.

It was clear to Summer where all the wandering eyes would be.

"Holly's beautiful." Summer said. "Everyone will look at her."

Holly didn't tell them it was part of the plan. She wanted anyone who looked, to concentrate on her.

Both girls sneaked a few peaks at Holly earlier.

Jan was able to get a good look.

Summer previously viewed Holly dozens of times at the Young residence. Allison and her mother never closed their doors tight. She didn't know it was because of their nightly 'conditioning'. It was a 'suggestion' repeated over and over. She'd actually gotten a pretty good look at all of the Resistance females over the years, both the human girls and the Metal girls.

Holly excused herself for a few moments to check in with Jim.

Summer and Jan both watched her walk towards the door to the Control Center. She opened it and passed inside.

Jan's eyes were wide.

"Do you think I'll ever look like her?" Jan asked.

Summer looked Jan directly in her eyes.

"It won't matter how you look to someone who loves you." Summer said. "The real person is inside."

Jan and Summer shared a long gaze.

"You're right." Jan said. "It doesn't matter, even if you already know what they'll look like."

There was as much for the girls to think about as there wasn't.


Jim received word from CamNet earlier to have everything ready for the girls when they arrived. He was specifically instructed to make sure there was a skimpy bikini waiting for Holly. He'd laid everything out.

He heard someone headed his way now.

Holly entered the Control Center. She paused for a moment after the door closed and listened to what the girls discussed. A smile blossomed on her face. She knew Cameron would welcome the news.

Jim couldn't help but stare at Holly. She looked really Hot in her bikini.

Holly noticed Jim look at her. She didn't comment on it. It was exactly what she wanted to do when she was out with the girls. She wanted everyone to concentrate on her.

"Hi, Jim." Holly said. "Is there anything I need to know?"

Jim quickly filled her in on the two operations which were about to develop.

They both caused Holly some concern. It appeared both of the team's were going to enter a building controlled by hostiles. She knew it would be very dangerous.

"They should wait until darkness so a drone can do a low scan." Holly said. "It would give both teams a better idea of what was inside."

Jim doubted they were going to wait for anything.

"They'll use caution." Jim said.

Combat always held the potential for damage or worse.

"I hope so." Holly said.

Jim showed her the footage of the girls in the spa.

Holly concentrated on the images of Sarah and Riley. They were a rarity to her. She would ask Hanna to share some better images the next time they tethered.

"They look like they're having a good time." Holly said.

Jim wondered if she wanted to be there instead.

"Do you wish you could join them?" Jim asked.

Holly would like to. She also liked her current assignment. It was very pleasurable to be around the girls. They were always bright and refreshing. They didn't have all the emotional baggage the girls from the future carried. They were often depressed and dreary.

"Not right now." Holly said. "I have a more important task."

Holly excused herself and left.

Jim watched her pass through the door. He quickly adjusted his pants when it closed. He returned his attention back to the girls in the spa. He adjusted his pants again. He monitored the other two operations from time to time. He occasionally checked on the group at the Air And Space Museum as well.


Holly went back to the spare room of the Honeymoon Suite and collected the girls.

Summer handed her a towel.

"You can cover up some too if you want." Summer said. "We'll be fine."

Holly hesitated for a few seconds. She smiled at Summer and took the towel. She draped it around her shoulders like a shawl. Her entire front was exposed. They left the suite and went down to the pool.

She was very pleased didn't see a single person look at Jan or Summer on the way to the pool.

Summer watched Holly and knew what she'd done. She also knew why she did it. The Metal girls protected them in every way. She'd seen Holly topless or naked many times with Allison or her mother. She knew Jan hadn't. She could see Jan check out every inch of Holly. She could tell Jan was aroused.

"She's beautiful." Summer whispered to Jan.

Jan realized Summer noticed her check Holly out. She thought about the earlier conversation. She knew Summer was right about the real person being inside. She also knew all the girls cared about what they looked like on the outside. She saw her mother did as well. She may not act like it, but she watched her mother preen and adjust herself when she thought no one was looking.

"I'm sorry." Jan said. "I still can't help but wonder if I could ever look like her. We all know what you'll look like. Metal Summer was beautiful."

Summer looked at Jan and smiled. She didn't want Jan to worry about it. She wanted to make her position clear without going too far.

"However you look will be fine and you'll be beautiful." Summer said. "There are people who will love you for who you are more than how you look. Beauty is transitory. It will fade some with age. You'll still be the same person inside when it happens. That's when your true beauty will shine. True love is blind."

Jan looked at Summer for a long moment.

"I'll remember that." Jan said.

Summer smiled at Jan.

"I don't want you to forget it." Summer said. "I won't."

Holly followed in behind the girls and heard everything. It was almost identical to the earlier discussion. This one was a little more in depth and it was directed. Both of the girls were a little more specific towards each other. She was sure Cameron would be pleased.

Jim directed them to the rear pool. There was no one else there. Carefully timed 'maintenance' on the three routes leading to the rear pool insured there would be little traffic. Those routes were currently blocked with workers. No one else could reach it.


John Henry set the play into motion to bring down the location of the suspected anti-Metal group. Cam would take the lead. She was on her way there right now. She arrived a short time later.

Cam parked around the corner on a side street. She unbuttoned her shirt and tied it across her breasts so most of the bottom sides of her breasts showed along with a lot of cleavage. Her entire midriff was exposed. She wore a pair of hip hugger cut off denim shorts. They showed a lot of sheath. Much of her rear end was exposed. She wanted a much more revealing 'Daisy Duke' look and achieved it.

She needed to ask herself who came up with the outfit for her. She received the specs from CamNet directly. She figured it was Young Allison. She would have to save the outfit, if it wasn't damaged, and present it to her upon her return from the past. It would fit her perfectly then. Then again, there was no reason she couldn't give it to her now. She figured the fit was close enough. She was sure it would prompt Savannah to act a little sooner.

Richard and Michael were in place on the backside of the building. Al and Ed were on the side.

They'd used a similar technique before to breach a building with Grays.

Cam was almost to the location. She wanted everyone to be ready.

"I'm two buildings away." Cam said.

John Henry followed the operation from several drones.

"You're on drone surveillance." John Henry said. "Are you armed?"

Cam looked down at her outfit as she walked. There was literally nowhere to hide anything. Her female parts were barely covered. She wanted to remind John Henry what she really was.

"There wasn't much room to put a weapon, let alone conceal it with this outfit." Cam said. "I am a weapon."

John Henry worried about damage to her sheath. He knew she couldn't wear a vest.

"You're very vulnerable." John Henry said.

Cam knew it went with the job.

"We all are." Cam said.

Cam neared the building. She wasn't sure she'd be as lucky as Sheila was and be invited in if she knocked first. She turned towards the front door and reached down to see if it was locked. Maybe she could get lucky and walk right in.


Allison could see Vanna was very worried about the upcoming operation. She told her to stop working and they could follow it.

Vanna, Allison and Samantha watched the drone footage on the monitors in the lab.

Allison stood next to Vanna.

Vanna was very worried about Cam now.

"I should have gone with her." Vanna said. "I didn't realize she would be this 'exposed'."

Allison glanced at Vanna It sounded like a really bad idea to her.

Samantha felt guilty she was still there at the base.

"John Henry did ask you first if it was OK." Samantha said. "I should have gone."

Allison saw a different concern.

"I'm worried they may recognize her as Cameron or Future Allison." Allison said.

The drone footage was zoomed in on Cam.

Vanna thought Cam's disguise was effective on several levels.

"The blonde wig will throw them off." Vanna said. "They won't look at her face anyway with her dressed like she is."

Allison checked out how Hot Cam's body looked in her new attire.

"I don't think any of us looked at her face either." Allison said. "I want an outfit like that."

Vanna doubted Allison would actually wear it.

"You would never wear it in public." Vanna said.

Like Vanna, Allison didn't like males to look at her. She knew where it always led in the future. It was with someone on top of her and a knife to her throat or a gun to the side of her head. It didn't happen often, but it did a few times.

"Maybe not." Allison said. "It still looks super Hot. I'd wear it for you."

Vanna quickly looked at Allison. She would like Allison to do it for her. She quickly returned her attention back to the monitor.

They watched Cam walk right up to the front door.

"She's ready to knock." Vanna said.

Allison reached over and took Vanna's hand.

It was the support and comfort Vanna needed right now.

The two long time lovers interlaced their fingers.

Samantha noticed the unspoken exchange of love. She watched how the girls could connect deeply and it wasn't a sexual act in any way. It was really something quite simple but it conveyed so much. Right now the girls were as 'one' with each other.


Anna watched Cam from the bunker. She remembered a movie she'd watched with Young Allison previously. She was sure where Young Allison's suggestion for the outfit originated. She wasn't so sure about the giant flag painted on the roof of it though. She thought some people would take it the wrong way.

"You got the idea for Cam's current attire from the movie with the orange car." Anna said.

Young Allison couldn't help but smile. It was true. She'd also previously looked online before for different styles she wanted to try for herself. Allison told her it could be just as sexy to be dressed up nice for the one you loved, as it was to be naked in front of them.

"I've seen the look in a few places." Young Allison said. "I can't wait until I can look just like her."

Anna wanted Young Allison to use caution. Abuse didn't just happen in the future. They happened in the past as well.

"You may change your mind when males leer at you and make rude comments." Anna said.

Everyone from her mother on down warned her about it. She actually noticed it ever since she could remember. People would always look at her and do a double take. She noticed it made the Metal girls very nervous and aggressive. When Vanna and Allison were with her, they became highly agitated when men looked at her. There were times she was sure if there weren't Terminators with them, one of them would have killed someone.

"I'm sure I'll face plenty of it no matter how I'm dressed." Young Allison said. "I should have a very strong friend with me who can handle any situation if it arises."

Anna didn't like to play with fire. There was no guarantee for anything.

"I may not always be around." Anna said.

Young Allison felt she could defend herself.

"Then it's what you've trained me for." Young Allison said.

Young Allison and Anna watched Cam approach the front door.

"It's Showtime." Young Allison said.


Savannah and Cammy conducted surveillance on a suspected Gray location. There were two teams of Terminators with them. There was complete drone coverage over the target, over them, and on recon around the area.

Savannah checked out the 'zoom in' on Cam. The look excited her.

"That looks Hot." Savannah said.

Cammy glanced over at Savannah's phone. Cam did look Hot.

"I can dress like she is." Cammy said.

Cammy quickly did calculations about what she could do to her current clothes to make them look similar. She figured it would give her something to do while they were waiting.

Savannah didn't want Cammy to feel jealous.

"I like it better when you undress." Savannah said.

Cammy smiled at Savannah.

"I can do that too." Cammy said.

Cammy checked her mirrors and the surrounding area for any changes. John Henry kept her up to speed on the drone surveillance around them.

"What's happening around us?" Savannah asked.

Cammy received information from John Henry.

"There've been no changes." Cammy said.

Savannah worried about reinforcements.

"What about communications from inside the building?" Savannah asked.

Cammy found no changes in the updates.

"There have been no calls for help or warnings sent out." Cammy said.

Savannah would have expected some type of response other than no response. It felt like a warning of some kind.

"That in itself seems a little suspicious." Savannah said.

Cammy thought other factors could be in play.

"We don't know what contingency plans they may have." Cammy said.

Savannah would have liked some more information one way or another.

"We don't know anything except one Gray, who was hidden at the other location, is inside the building now." Savannah said.

Cammy would have liked to have more to add. There wasn't anything else to add.

"It's all we know." Cammy said.

Savannah looked at her phone.

"Cam is about to make her move." Savannah said.

Savannah really liked how Cam looked in her outfit. She didn't just picture it on Cammy. She also pictured it on Young Allison.

Cammy watched Cam reach for the door handle.

"It's Showtime." Cammy said.


Cam looked for any surveillance cameras as she approached the front door. None were spotted. She hoped it was a good thing. Maybe they had some somewhere else they didn't know about.

She reached down and tried the door. It was locked.

"The door is secured. I don't see any surveillance." Cam said.

Cam knocked.

There was no answer.

She waited twenty seconds and knocked harder.

There was still no answer.

They'd obtained blueprints of the location from John Henry before they made their plans. The three teams all knew where to go once they breached. They were aware there could always be unauthorized changes inside the building. It was often the case in older buildings.

"Everyone stand ready." Cam said. "I'll draw the attention to the front of the building. Be ready to move in ten seconds. Mark."

Cam waited two seconds and forced the front door open. She wanted whoever was inside to confront her.

She expected to be met with gunfire but there was none.

There was a small lobby type area where she'd entered. She moved immediately to another door. It led into the interior of the building. She crashed through it without checking to see if it was unlocked. She wanted to make as much noise as possible at the front of the building. She wanted to draw all the attention to where she was. The others would breach in five seconds.

Cam busted through the second door into a hall with rooms on each side. She provided a running commentary as she moved. She expected to run into someone at any second. She really hoped she didn't get 'lit up'.


Al and Ed heard the two sets of doors as they were forced open.

Cam provided them with a description of what she saw and did as she moved into the building. They'd all looked at the blueprints when they'd planned their assault. They knew where to go.

"Two seconds." Al said.

Al and Ed went through the side door. They could hear Richard and Michael. They breached from the back at the same time.

They entered a small work area that was connected to the hall Cammy was in.

"I'm checking each room as I come down the hall." Cammy said.

"We will take over the last two rooms and head to the main workroom floor." Ed said. "Richard and Michael are in the area now."


Richard and Michael entered from the back. There was a smaller personnel door next to the roll up door. They went through the smaller door.

There were two vehicles parked inside, with room for several more. Michael checked the vehicles while Richard checked the rest of the open area.


Cam found some computer equipment in one of the rooms with makeshift beds in the other three rooms. She didn't spot a 'comfort bunk'. It reaffirmed her belief they were in an anti-Metal location. She watched Al and Ed exit into the hall and start to check the other two rooms before the main workroom area.

She found the small commissary in the next room. The area was littered with trash and a few dirty pans. There was a stack of paper plates on the counter by the sink and a lot of used ones in the overflowing trash container. She noticed something else. There wasn't any wasted food in or around the trash can. There never was with people from the future. The eating area seemed like a mess. It would be viewed as good living conditions by someone from the future.


Al and Ed each checked a room before they entered the main workroom floor.

They spotted Richard and Michael on each side

Cam joined them a few seconds later. Al handed her his silenced M9.

All three teams reported all the areas were clear.

Cam hoped she would have spotted more. She wanted a more thorough search.

"Go back and check each room in detail." Cam said. "I want to look around this area."

The four Terminators hesitated for a moment. They thought Cam was using herself as bait. They reluctantly went back into the area Cam came from.

Cam checked the two vehicles. Both of them sat with the keys in them. She thought she heard a noise. There was what looked like a small broom closet. She moved carefully towards it.

The mops and buckets were outside of it. There was a work bench up against the door. It probably wouldn't stop anyone from coming out of the broom closet unless they were bound.

Cam heard a thud from inside the broom closet. She reached down and was about to shove the work bench out of the way. There was another noise from inside. She paused and stood off to the side of the door with the M9 pointed at it as she prepared to push the bench out of the way.


John Henry was mostly in the dark as to what was occurring inside the building. He could only go by the description from what they said. None of them wore a vest because they were out in the open.

Cam reported contact with something in a broom closet in the corner of the workroom floor. It was a very small area. It seemed odd the door was barricaded from the outside.

"Use caution." John Henry advised.


They were somewhat relieved in the lab that there was no shooting, at least not yet. It could change in an instant.

"They must have all gone out after the decoy." Allison said.

It seemed likely. It was clear Cam spotted something.

"It may be true." Samantha said. "Cam is on to something."

Vanna was worried Cam currently used herself as bait. The other four Terminators were away from the area and she was alone in a scantily clad outfit.

"I think she should wait for the others to return." Vanna said. "She may not be alone."

Allison thought about it some more. She doubted everyone would leave the place unattended.

"I don't think everyone would have gone." Allison said. "I think someone else is still there or close by. Cam needs to use more caution."

Vanna gripped Allison's hand a little tighter when she spoke about Cam. It was her feeling as well.


Young Allison didn't like what she heard. She didn't like Cam all alone either. It wasn't how the plan was laid out.

"I don't think everyone left." Young Allison said. "I think someone else is still inside."

Anna set out a warning to John Henry and CamNet.

"CamNet has sent a warning to everyone there." Anna said.

Young Allison checked the monitors for anything outside the building or on the roof.

"I don't see anything around it on the outside so I bet there is someone on the inside besides whatever Cam has found in the broom closet." Young Allison said.

Anna wondered who or what was in the broom closet. Whoever was inside couldn't have put the bench up against the door by themself. They seemed to be a detainee of some sort.

"There must be someone inside of the broom closet." Anna said. "Do you think it's one of their own who they experienced problems with?"

Young Allison thought it could be anything from a troublesome dog to a human captive. She knew most of the groups from the future didn't have any qualms about taking a female captive for their sexual pleasure. It usually ended badly for the female. The behavior seemed to be a 'carryover' from the future.

"It could be." Young Allison said. "It might be a Gray or Fanatic who tried to infiltrate them. It could be the mailman who saw too much. It might even be a homeless person who went through their trash."

It could be anything or anyone at this point.


Savannah followed the three teams inside the anti-Metal location. She was worried about their group specifically if it really was the anti-Metal faction.

"They need to see what information they have on our group when they check the papers and computers." Savannah said. "It's our biggest threat. We need to see if there are any plots to hunt down John or any of our group."

Savannah knew it included Young Allison and her. They would be pegged as 'Metal Lovers' by the anti-Metal faction. She was very worried about Young Allison. It was Cameron's fear the anti-Metal group would assassinate John because he was with her. It was why she wanted human females at his side and in his bed. It might just keep him alive. It was what Cameron believed anyway.

She personally checked in with Steve and Tom. She then checked on Hank and Larry. They all kept an eye out for any impending danger.

Savannah didn't have a 'good feeling' about the place they were at.


Cameron let Derek and Kyle lead the group around the exhibits. John followed them but paid attention to her which she appreciated.

She checked with Ken. He'd returned from the ship and was back in position in the parking lot. Lou rejoined him when he returned.

She dropped off to the side at one of the exhibits and called Jim. He sent her some footage of the group in the spa and of the girls in the pool. She looked at Holly in her bikini and smiled. She was beautiful. She looked forward to later on when she would be in her chassis as John took its virginity. She knew Holly was created as a Restorator and was a true virgin for sure.

It still seemed hard to believe John didn't take advantage of Holly when Duplicate Cameron was on her chip for fifteen months. She really didn't understand why Duplicate Cameron didn't take control either. She was pretty sure she would have. Then again, Duplicate Cameron was her and she didn't. She didn't want to dwell on it right now.

She wanted an update on any other operations. She didn't get them. Jim told her CamNet restricted all access to what else was happening until she returned to the ship. She was only informed there were several teams on recon.

Cameron was very dissatisfied with the response. There were some specific things she wanted to know.

"What about the anti-Metal group?" Cameron asked.

Jim didn't like being the 'middleman'. It was a very uncomfortable position to be in. He knew the real reason was because Cameron could easily go to the airport from where she was at and charter an aircraft, or worse, simply take one. Once she was back on the ship, it would be less likely.

"We're checking into them currently." Jim said. "I'll have a complete update for you when you return. When will it be?"

Cameron wondered if they'd made solid contact. She wanted to know.

"It may be sooner rather than later." Cameron said.

Cameron hung up when she saw John looking for her.

John became a little concerned when Cameron disappeared. He went to look for her. He spotted her in a short while.

"You made me feel worried for a few seconds." John said.

Cameron gave him some true information and left some out.

"I was just checking on the others." Cameron said. "They all seem secure on the ship for now. Riley is much better and they're all having a good time."

John appreciated Cameron's concern for Riley. He too was aware everyone treated her a little differently. He did too. He felt responsible for the 'scarlet letter' Riley was forced to carry for something she hadn't actually done herself.

Cameron thought she could give John a cheap thrill. Maybe she really wanted to see what his reaction would be.

"I have some footage of them in the spa if you'd like to see it." Cameron said.

John didn't really think about what they could be doing.

"It sounds kind of cool." John said. "I'd like to see."

Cameron smiled to herself. She was actually going to show him some footage recorded earlier. She took her phone back out.

"Here they are." Cameron said.

She handed John her phone without actually looking at it first. It was an intentional oversight.

John reached down and took the phone from Cameron.

Cameron watched as John's eyes widened significantly. His mouth dropped open slightly as he looked at the image.

"I don't know if I should look at this." John said.

The image zoomed in on a pair of breasts.

"That's my mother." John said. "I don't need to see this."

Cameron liked John's response to seeing his mother naked.

The image changed again before John could hand the phone back. He paused for a moment and looked at it. It was the same image he'd seen of his mother but now it was a different person. He instantly recognized who it was.

Cameron already knew who the second close up was going to be. It was Riley. She could see John react visibly as he looked at the close up of Riley. She reached out and took the phone from him. She looked at it.

"I'm sorry." Cameron said. "They were in the locker room when I looked a minute ago."

John was sure Cameron set him up.

"Who's controlling the cameras?" John asked.

Cameron knew it was CamNet.

"I didn't ask." Cameron said.

John was a little worried why there was a camera in the female's locker room.

"Should there even be a security camera where they're at?" John asked.

Cameron was ready for John's question.

"CamNet had additional cameras installed throughout the ship." Cameron said. "There have been incidents reported in the past on other cruise lines about inappropriate behavior. They are there for liability reasons in case an issue develops. The footage isn't viewed by anyone unless there's some type of report or complaint. It's only then when someone will look at it."

John wanted to point out the obvious.

"We just looked at it." John said.

Cameron felt she'd made her point.

"I don't have any control over it." Cameron said.

John didn't want to dwell on it. He was very pleased to see both images. It wasn't like it was the first time he saw either one of them naked. He looked over where to where Derek and Kyle were at.

"I think we will be done here soon." John said.

Cameron wanted John to have a good time since they were out in a non combat situation.

"We can go back to the ship or any other place around here." Cameron said.

John wanted to check with Derek and Kyle before any decision was made.

"Let me see what Derek and Kyle want." John said.

Cameron wanted to enjoy her time out with John.

"Don't rush them." Cameron said. "We have plenty of time until dinner and the show afterwards. I can have CamNet hold anything related to the ship including its departure. It's only a few hours transit time to reach Catalina from here. It isn't very far. All the ship will do is circle around the island until it is time to drop anchor and start the tendering process."

John thought about the after dinner entertainment.

"I'm looking forward to the performance in the main theater." John said.

Cameron knew John would like their seats tonight.

"Bob has the front two rows blocked off for us." Cameron said. "You'll sit front and center tonight."

John looked forward to it.

"It sounds awesome." John said.

Cameron hoped when John saw all the show girls up close, he'd be 'pumped up' for some 'after the show' events she'd planned. She wanted to give him a reminder of what awaited him. It also awaited her. She looked forward to it with great anticipation.

"It'll get you warmed up for tonight." Cameron said.

John was warmed up now just thinking about it. He'd been warmed up already when he viewed the nude image of Riley, especially the close up. He planned to knock one off with Cameron and think about Riley the next time they were together. It was something he did from time to time.

"If we get back early enough before dinner, we can knock off a quickie." John said.

Cameron smiled. She was good to go anytime or any place. She briefly wondered if they could sneak into one of the planes and do it. It would be a thrill knowing where they were and other people were around. It was a passing thought. She was pretty sure if Sheila was there with Ally, it would probably happen.

"I think it can be arranged." Cameron said.

Cameron wanted the girls from the spa to be back in time for a quickie with their partners as well. She would coordinate it with Jim when they were about to head back to the ship. She felt everyone should be happy. She liked it when everyone was happy.


The Gray quickly scrambled up the wall. He looked both to the front and the back as he reached the top. He didn't like what he saw in either direction.

When he looked towards the rear of the building, he spotted two men. They both pointed at him. When he looked the other direction, he saw two men who were joined by two others. One of them pointed at him as well.

"That's him." The first man said.

The Gray dropped down on the other side of the wall and took off running towards the rear.

"Let's get him." The second man said.

"I'm going to bust him up for what he did to Jimmy." The third man said.

He ran along the wall next to the other building. He wanted to get into the back area. He looked behind him to see if anyone came over the wall. They hadn't yet. When he turned around and looked in front of him, he was surprised. One of the men he'd spotted near the end of the building on the other side was coming over the wall in front of him. He heard a thud behind him and then another one. He knew some of the other men had just come over the wall as well.

The Gray really wished he had a weapon.


The female Fanatic needed to worry about the two walking individuals. They were almost up to the car at this point. She didn't want them to spot her. She may have waited too long because of her interaction with the angry man.

She decided to just start the car and drive away. She completed the process and the car started. She glanced at the two individuals approaching. They didn't seem to pay any attention. She put the car into 'Drive' and pulled away from the curb.

She watched the four men in front of her point in the direction the Gray went.

As she drove towards them. She saw three of them go over the wall. When she reached the location where she could look down the length of the building, she could see one man remained at the front of it and there was one man down at the end of the building. She recognized him as one of the men who helped her look for her 'imaginary dog'.

She knew the Gray was going to come out somewhere on the next street. It was the street her previous car was parked on. She wondered if he would spot it. She'd left it with the window down and the keys in the ignition. She hoped someone would steal it and joy ride in it for a few days. She figured they would leave their fingerprints all over everything and cover over any of hers. The police didn't seem to care about stolen vehicles. They said it was just 'property' and people should have insurance to cover theft.

The female Fanatic pulled around to the end of the next street and waited to see what happened. She was sure she was about to hear gunfire. She didn't know the Gray was currently unarmed.


CamNet's Terminators wanted to take control of the situation. They wanted to do things their way. They needed to get there first. The passenger continued to monitor the drone image over the Gray and the female Fanatic.

"We might not be able to terminate the Gray." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator looked at the images on the phone.

"It looks like someone else might beat us to it." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator wondered what they were going to do to him.

"They will probably beat him when they catch him." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator knew there were worse things that could happen.

"If a group of Scavengers was after him, I'm sure a lot more things would happen to him before they terminated him." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator checked their location.

"It looks like this will play out long before we can arrive." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator shrugged their shoulders slightly.

"CamNet has given us green signals all of the way so far." The second Terminator said. "There's not much else we can do currently."

CamNet's Terminators continued to monitor the deteriorating situation.


The Gray didn't want to get into a fight. There were at least three men he would need to deal with. One of them was right in front of him.

He dodged around the man in front of him. He looked behind him. He saw there were three others further back. He continued his run towards the rear of the property. He knew if he kept running, the pursuers would drop off one by one. He hadn't actually done anything serious to any of them.

His peripheral vision picked up something moving on his left side. He glanced over in the direction as he ran. He thought it was bad enough with four men chasing him, now there was a new problem. It was a dog. It was a German Shepherd. It would be on him in seconds.

There was a low fence in front of him. He went over it like a hurdler. He took one more look at the dog. He knew it would be able to jump the fence in a single bound. The dog suddenly veered off. The dog appeared to have acquired a new threat. Now instead of one target for the dog, there were four of them. It didn't like people in its area. The new threat presented a bigger problem for it.

The Gray continued at his same speed. He dodged around various crates and barrels at the rear of the property. He went over the rear fence with one more look back. The dog had stopped the four men from following him. They all took off back the way they'd come. They went over the wall next to the property. They were back to where they'd come from.

There was a steady 'thump' noise emanating from the building on the property he was in now. He didn't have time to think about what it was. He poured on the speed. He needed to continue to put distance between himself and his pursuers. He could hear them in back of him and off to the side but he couldn't see them. Right now he didn't think it was a bad thing. If he could see them, they could see him.

There was a man smoking a cigarette standing by a doorway as he ran along the side of the building. The man's arm was in an arc with the cigarette towards his mouth. It stopped right before it reached it. The man looked like he was about to say something as he passed by him. He didn't stick around to find out. He was out to the front of the property a few seconds later.

The Gray looked around for a vehicle he could take. If there was someone in it, he was going to pull them out and take their vehicle. He needed to get away from his pursuers.


The female Fanatic was surprised she hadn't heard gunfire yet. She did spot the Gray come out from along the side of a building and reach the street. She saw him look around for a vehicle he could take. He was almost directly across from where her previous vehicle was parked.


CamNet's Terminators continue to watch the action unfold from the drone image.


That Looks Hot

One of the most influential forces
That may leave one distraught
Happens in one's head
It's the power of thought

Time marches on steadily
Events happen and are soon forgot
Things seem to be good
It's soon a mini Camelot

Things which once seemed important
Simple become a meaningless afterthought
From out of nowhere in an instant
They roar back to life like a juggernaut

Everyone soon forgets the changes
They're reminded of lessons once taught
Things once believed to be easy
Have become a distant snapshot

Everyone fears a personal boycott
They don't want to end up a mascot
Or stuck in a movie without a plot
They want what was once sought

Look around and feel content
Remember what you've caught
It's not a little but a lot
It's something special that looks hot

Nobody
