Chapter 1303


On A Mission


Cammy, Cam and Savannah were outside a window on the building they'd been watching. It didn't seem to be secured. It set off a few more red flags.

Cam kept a watch in both directions and behind them. She thought things seemed too easy.

"I think this is a trap." Cam said.

Cammy and Savannah both backed away to either side of the window.

Savannah wanted to know for sure.

"Check it out." Savannah said.

Cammy moved up and looked closer. She studied the latch on the inside of the window.

"The movement was just the play in the window frame. The window is still secured from the inside." Cammy said. "I can't see if it's visibly wired. It could be internal to make it so it can't see it. We should move on."

Cammy led the team towards the back of the building. She reached the back corner and carefully looked along the backside. Nothing back there set off any 'alarms' in her head.

Cam checked on her phone to see if the drone overhead found any movement inside yet or anyone who seemed to know they were outside the wall of the building. Nothing was spotted. The drone hadn't picked up any external surveillance. Earlier at the anti-Metal location, the surveillance cameras weren't detected either from the drones at high altitude. They were concealed within the rain gutters. They weren't taking any chances when they reached the back of the building.

"I don't see any security cameras in the back." Cammy said. "There's the roll up door the SUV entered and a personnel door. I see a roof access ladder. It has a cover over the first ten feet of it to prevent any unauthorized individuals from climbing it."

Savannah didn't see any skylights in the roof from the earlier drone footage.

"There's nothing to see from up there other than to access the AC units." Savannah said. "We don't need to go up there."

Cammy wanted to take a quick look. She didn't want to leave any base uncovered. It was possible there might be an internal roof access hatch. It was doubtful with the external one. The drone images didn't detect one.

"I'd like to check anyway." Cammy said. "There may be more than we can see from a drone scan.

Savannah didn't think it was of any value but Cammy wanted to look. She needed to remember the 'sixth man' eluded a search by three different Terminators at the other location.

"Go ahead." Savannah said.

Cam gave Cammy a boost and sent her up to the top of the ladder with a big lift.

Cammy was beyond the anti-personnel barrier and quickly went over the top. She checked the AC units. None of them were on. There was no energy usage from them. She checked with John Henry and the massive energy usage was the same.

There was no interior roof access hatch to gain a look into the interior. They'd ripped air conditioner ducts out before to gain access to the interior of the building. It was never a quiet way to enter. They didn't want to tip their hand too early in this case.

Everything on the roof looked like what it was. She moved over to the rear to jump off the roof back to the ground.

Savannah figured it was at least twenty feet up to where Cammy was at. She didn't want her to jump off.

"I would prefer it if you used the ladder and just dropped the last ten feet past the cover." Savannah said.

Cam checked the metal cover over the ladder.

"The cover is wired." Cam said. "I don't think we should 'open' it."

Cammy came down the ladder and dropped down the final ten feet next to Cam.

They passed along the backside of the building. Cammy checked the regular door and the roll up door. Both of them were secure. It was all done from the inside.

She motioned for Savannah and Cam to move up. They were going to check the far side of the building now.

Cammy peeked around the corner while Cam kept watch in back of them.

Cam checked for any updates on movement inside. There was nothing. She asked for scans of the surrounding buildings. Her experience yesterday was still fresh in her mind. It was a close one. The current scans all came back negative. She was glad to hear it.

Cammy looked at the other side of the building. There were no windows or doors on the far side. She rapidly moved along the side until she was at the front. Savannah followed her.

Cam waited at the corner of the side and the back to make sure nothing happened in back of them.

Cammy was dissatisfied with everything she'd found so far.

"I think I'm going to need to enter." Cammy said.

Savannah already figured it was a given. They'd learned nothing outside. The building they were at wasn't her only concern.

"Look across the street and down each side of the street before we move from here." Savannah said. "I don't want any surprises or a repeat of last night."

Cammy did look. She did a detailed check back and forth three times in several different vision spectrums and one that was magnified.

"I don't see anything that stands out." Cammy said.

Savannah looked back at Cam. She was on her way to join them.

Cam checked her phone as she advanced to the front.

The drone imagery from the surrounding buildings showed nothing. The building they were about to enter still showed nothing.

"The drone scans are clear." Cam said as she arrived next to Savannah.

Cammy knew it was time for action.

"I'm going in the front door." Cammy said.

There were two large windows on the right side of the door.

Savannah thought about the cover for the roof ladder being wired. She was sure the front door would be as well. She looked over the construction of the front of the building. She wanted to try a different approach.

"Maybe we should try a window instead." Savannah said. "They're both big enough to act as doors for us."

Cammy frowned. She didn't like pussyfooting around.

"The direct approach is quicker." Cammy said.

Cam didn't want Cammy to get carried away. She moved out and around Cammy and Savannah.

"I'll take the lead." Cam said.

Cammy started to follow her. Savannah stopped her.

"Let her check first." Savannah said.

Cammy looked a little upset but didn't protest.

Cam moved up to the front door and tried it. It was locked. She looked at the large window near it. She pulled out her knife and started to pry on the frame which held the glass in place. It was a solid pane of glass and not designed to be opened. It meant it shouldn't be wired.

Savannah saw what Cam was doing. She was taking the frame apart. It was a good idea. They would remove the big pane of glass and walk in like it was a door.

"Go help her with the big piece of glass so it doesn't fall and break." Savannah said. "I'll cover the two sides of the building from here."

Savannah knew there were drones covering everything right now as well. The drones should pick up any target before she ever saw it. That was unless something popped up from a 'spider hole' somewhere. It was always a possibility. The thought of the 'sixth man' eluding them at the other location still bothered her.

Cammy moved up next to Cam and started to work on the other side of the window frame. In a very short time they were able to lift the big pane of glass out. They carefully placed it in front of the other large window next to it.

Cam and Cammy both moved their heads inside the opening and looked in opposite directions. They checked for security devices like cameras or motion detectors.

"I see a camera pointed at the front door." Cam said. "It doesn't appear to cover this window."

Cammy spotted two doors that led from the lobby area to the interior of the building.

"Is the front door wired?" Cammy asked.

Cam tried to tell by looking.

"I can't see if it is." Cam said.

Cammy studied the interior of the lobby.

"There's a reception window in the wall. It's under the camera, so the camera can't pick it up. It looks above it to the door beyond." Cammy said. "There are no motion detectors."

Cammy went to enter.

Cam stopped her. There were too many things which didn't add up.

"Look at this." Cam said. "Everything is easy for us to go inside and enter apparently undetected."

Cammy thought about it. Things did seem incredibly easy.

"You're right." Cammy said.

Savannah moved up to where the window was when it looked like Cammy was about to enter. She called up the blueprint of the building John Henry sent them.

"Wait a little bit, Cammy." Savannah said.

Savannah looked in the opening. She glanced at the closest wall.

"The side wall looks like 'drywall'." Savannah said.

Cammy looked. It was drywall.

"It is." Cammy said.

Savannah showed Cammy the blueprint of the building.

"Use your knife and cut a section out so we can squeeze between the studs to enter." Savannah said. "It will make less noise than smashing through the wall."

Cam liked the idea. So far they'd been fairly quiet on their entry.

"I agree." Cam said. "It will put us in an office or storage room."

Savannah thought it would also get them past any cameras or alarms if a door or window was opened. They might also bypass a booby trap or two.

The three girls moved inside the missing window. Cam went back out and moved the piece of glass they'd taken out back in front of where they'd removed it from. She slid the bottom out about six inches and let it lean back up against the frame. If a vehicle passed by it would look like the window was still in place with a casual glance.

Cammy softly knocked on the wall to find the studs and used her knife to cut a section of the wall out about fifteen inches wide.

It was just over three feet high.

Cammy looked back.

"Get ready to move." Cammy said. "I'm going to cut the inner wall."

Cam moved up in front of Savannah.

"You cover the rear until we're inside wherever this goes." Cam said.

Savannah nodded. She understood Cammy and Cam wanted to take all the risk. They were really going into the unknown. They were in a building that seemed like it was a trap.

Cammy cut the inner wall and knocked the piece forward. She was already moving through the opening before the piece hit the floor.

Cam followed her through.

Cammy didn't know what she would find on the other side. It could be anything. There were two things she wanted to find. The first one was, the 'sixth man'. The second one was, some answers. There was no one else in the room when she entered.

Cam followed Cammy through and quickly looked around the room. She didn't spot anything able to detect them.

Cammy was satisfied the first room was secure. She wanted to get Savannah out of the lobby.

"It's clear, Savannah." Cammy said.

Savannah took one look back and entered the narrow opening.

Things were different than most operations. They seemed shrouded in a layer of mystery. Perhaps it was just because they couldn't detect anyone else inside of the building. They knew someone went in there. Maybe it was the massive energy usage being drawn into the building. There must be something sinister where all of the energy was going.


A short time ago:

Young Allison and Anna followed the progress of Cammy's team as they went around the perimeter of the structure.

"Everything appears to be locked from the inside." Anna said.

Young Allison understood what it meant.

"I think it's clear whoever went inside, never left on the surface." Young Allison said. "There must be more underground. The plans of the building don't indicate any lower area. The 'sixth man' went somewhere."

They watched as Cam took the lead away from Cammy.

Young Allison figured Cam would end up going in Terminator style through the front door. It was what Cammy wanted to do.

"I hope Cam uses some restraint." Young Allison said.

Anna figured she would. Savannah was close by.

"I think she will." Anna said.

They watched as Cam looked at the window off to the side of the door a little ways.

"I can see she's going to try a new approach." Young Allison said. "I like it."

Anna figured if they wouldn't have used the door and forced it open, they would have simply broken the window to enter. To pry apart the window frame was definitely a different approach.

Cammy went to assist Cam and in a short time they moved the window out of the way. Savannah joined them and they entered.

They lost their direct video feed once the three girls entered the building.

"We should be able to see them on the drone scans." Anna said.

There were three images which appeared from a top down scan of the building.

"It looks like thermal imagery." Young Allison said. "Savannah looks a little brighter."

Anna wondered about that.

"They should all show up about the same." Anna said.

Anna wondered if Savannah was running a fever. She was going to say something. She figured it would cause some type of a problem. In a few seconds all the images looked the same.

"I see they're in now." Young Allison said. "I want an image of the building's blueprint with an overlay of the drone scan of where they are in the building."

Anna knew the interior layouts could change over time and not be recorded. Non load bearing walls could come and go.

"Remember the interior of the building could have been modified since it was constructed." Anna said.

Young Allison was aware of it. They'd encountered it before.

"I want to make sure no other heat signatures pop up around them all of a sudden." Young Allison said. "I think if they do, whoever it is will hesitate for a moment in order to determine their best way to attack. It should give our team a few seconds to mount a counterattack or attack first."

Anna received a request.

"Steve and Tom have asked to follow them in." Anna said.

Young Allison gave Savannah an hour. Less than half of the time had elapsed.

"Have them move up to the front but not enter yet." Young Allison said. "Send Richard and Michael to the position Steve and Tom were at."

Richard and Michael recently arrived to reinforce the operation. They'd previously inspected the location the 'sixth man' had come from.

Anna wondered about the other teams.

"Do you want any of the other teams closer?" Anna asked.

Young Allison didn't want to jump the gun. She wanted to give the team inside some time to look around without setting off some type of alarm outside or alerting anyone.

"Bring all the teams in closer but not too close." Young Allison said. "Savannah will let us know what she needs."

Nobody knew what to expect.


John Henry wasn't sure where anything was going. His server and CamNet communicated about many things.

He knew Young Allison took the lead on the operation for now. He wanted to expand her experience. There was really nothing more he could have done or asked any of the teams to. He liked Young Allison's fresh approach to things.

He was sure with Savannah there, both Cam and Cammy would show a little more restraint and be a little more cautious. It was what he hoped anyway.


Cameron watched the last song performed. There was a standing ovation. She was content everyone in her group really enjoyed the show. She was especially pleased to see Jan and Summer liked it. She could see Jim enjoyed it too. He didn't get out much for cultural events like this. Sarah seemed very happy he was able to see it with her.

Savannah told her she needed to make sure all the Terminators were exposed to more things like cultural events. It would allow them to blend in better as infiltrators. The more they interacted with humans, the more 'human like' they became. It was an effective strategy.

Cameron did notice John Henry, Jim and Bob were all becoming very sexually aware. She'd even witnessed John Henry pleasure himself. She saw the way they looked at the females too, both the human and the Metal girls.

It made her wonder how a Terminator version of John would perform. They would be able to go at it for hours at a time. She wasn't sure creating a 'Metal John' was a good idea. With the anti-Metal faction seemingly out there, maybe it would be a good idea to help protect him. They could use Metal John as a decoy. It was something to think about. If John did the 'Neural Interface' with it, she might 'try it' once to see what it was like with Metal John. Maybe she could do it with a female Terminator now instead.

Cameron quickly looked at Holly. Maybe they could try something before she took over Holly's chassis. It was something to think about. What could it hurt? They were all 'friends'. They could experiment on each other and do the things they liked done to them. It seemed like good clean fun.

The thought of creating a Metal John popped back up into Cameron's head again. A different thought occurred to her for its usage. She was pretty sure she would plug into it at some point and try it. Something crossed her mind as to who to try it on. She could use her chassis or she could do something even better. She could be with Savannah and Young Allison as a male Terminator. The thought excited her greatly. It would give her the opportunity to claim their virginity. It wouldn't go to John. She didn't think he deserved it for what he'd done with Future Riley.

She knew she could borrow Jim's chassis or Bob's chassis. She could borrow John Henry's chassis as well. She could also visit John when she was in one of the male chassis. She wondered how he would deal with facing Metal John if she created it.

No. She needed to keep the thought under wraps. She was sure she would want to use it with Savannah and Young Allison. She didn't think she could fool either one of them for very long as to who it really was.

Now she needed to wonder if she would be with either of the girls first as herself or as Metal John. It was something to think about. She blinked her eyes several times and looked around. She'd been lost deep in thought a little longer than she'd anticipated.

People started to move around behind them.

Cameron kept their group where they were until some of the others filtered out of the theater. She didn't like being stuck in a crowd. There was less room to maneuver and fight.

John enjoyed the show. Being this close to the performers was exhilarating to him. He looked at Cameron and then at Holly. He thought Holly looked a little shy right now. It was probably because she knew what would happen soon. Cameron was going to take control of Holly's chassis and lose her virginity for her.

Holly stood by his side.

"Where are we going to now?" John asked.

Cameron turned her attention back to John.

"It's up to you." Cameron said. "We can hit the buffet again or we can go to our suite."

Cameron looked at Holly when she said it. She wanted to make sure she was still on board. If not, she was going to snag Gail.

Jan was with Sarah and Kyle.

Summer was with Claire and Jesse.

Jan and Summer were both a little upset Holly wouldn't be with them tonight.

Derek and Riley decided they were going to head to their suite.

Kyle understood why. The medicine kicked in. The showgirls brought everything to 'life'. They were both good to go right now.

Claire could see Sarah and Kyle made plans for each other. She didn't want them to worry about anything.

"Jan can come with us." Claire said.

Sarah thanked her as she left with Kyle. They followed Derek and Riley out.

Jim thanked Cameron for allowing him to see the performance. He left to return to his post. He would shadow the Reese brothers and their mates back to their suites.

Summer and Jan wanted to look around the ship some more. Gail and Hanna both offered to show them around. It freed Claire and Jesse up and they soon disappeared.

John noticed how much more human like Gail was with the girls. Summer took her hand and led her out of the theater. Hanna and Jan followed.

It left Cameron, John and Holly.

Cameron needed to push the thought of Metal John out of her head. The thought of her being with Savannah and Young Allison kept popping back up. She was sure she wanted to be with them in her own chassis first. She focused her attention on John.

"Do you want anything from the grill or buffet?" Cameron asked. "Or are you ready for some dessert?"

Holly looked away when Cameron said it. It wasn't really how she wanted to think about it.

Everyone was gone around them at this point. They were over by the lower exit to deck six.

John looked at Holly. He was afraid he'd stared at her almost as much as he'd watched the stage performance. He always watched when the female performers were the ones front and center.

When the male singers came out, his gaze would always revert back to Holly. His eyes would always drop down and look at her voluptuous breasts. Her dress barely contained them. He was ready for some action. It had been a long time since he'd seen them exposed. He remembered how Holly watched over him when Cameron was 'away' for fifteen months. He was going to make up for all the lost time when he didn't touch her back then.

"We can go back to the suite if it's what everyone wants to do." John said.

Holly looked at John with wide eyes. She was ready for the next step and her evolution and development. She appreciated Cameron's assistance.

"I do." Holly said. "I'm ready to be dessert."

John was a little worried about the 'wording'. He didn't say anything about it. It seemed better if he left it alone.

Cameron smiled. She reached over and took Holly's hand. She wanted to use her chassis very much.

Holly looked at Cameron and they smiled at each other.

"I'll take care of everything for you." Cameron whispered.

Holly looked shy and relieved.

"Thank you." Holly said. "I want to have a better experience for my 'first time' with your help. I'm ready for it."

Cameron looked forward to it. She wanted to make clear how everything would go down.

"It will be my 'first time' too." Cameron said. "I reset myself for the first encounter. It will be better on the second round for both of us."

It pleased Holly. She looked forward to the file Cameron would share with her. She wanted to make sure the deal Cameron made was still in effect.

"Will I still get to try it 'one time' on my own later on?" Holly asked. "It's not much to ask for since I'm allowing you to take my virginity."

Cameron reluctantly agreed. She wanted the virginity of Holly's chassis. She really doubted John would last more than two minutes with any of the Metal girls when they did get their 'one time'. It wouldn't be a big deal in reality. It would be like him knocking one off with Rosie more or less.

"It will be so." Cameron said.

John led the way and Cameron and Holly followed him.

Cameron gave Holly's hand a reassuring squeeze every now and then. She wanted to prevent it from glitching. She could tell Holly was very nervous about her upcoming encounter. She was very excited herself. Holly was a virgin for sure since she was constructed as a Restorator. She wouldn't have to wonder with her chassis.

It was all about to happen for real. She was aware of everything Holly did since her construction. She had the files from Duplicate Cameron from her 'stay' on Holly's chip for fifteen months. Because Holly was a virgin, it was the main reason Duplicate Cameron was never with John in Holly's chassis. She didn't want to 'steal' the honor from Holly.

Now years later, Cameron was about to actually do it. Holly would still be an observer and not a participant to her taking the first experience of Holly's chassis away from her.

Cameron felt if she kept thinking about the prize she was about to claim, she might 'finish' from the thoughts alone. The idea of being in Metal John's chassis and taking Savannah's and Young Allison's virginity popped up in her head again. It sent her over the top as they walked. She was really ready for her 'first experience' right now. She couldn't wait to reset her programming and take control of Holly's chassis.


Ally and Sheila tracked everyone from the Control Center. They saw the show was over in the main theater over. Jim was on his way back with the Reese families.

"It looks like we're going to have some company soon." Ally said.

Sheila kept track of where Mary and Laura were. They talked with some other females a few times but they didn't hook up with any. They didn't talk to any men at all and ignored them if they were approached. It really made her wonder about the 'medical records' they viewed on the two girls. She wasn't about to question it with Ally until they were in a dead zone on the ship, maybe in one of the stairwells. She was sure CamNet was 'playing' with them.

"Jim will be back soon." Sheila said. "He's shadowing the one's returning to their suites."

Ally looked around. She wasn't really ready to unplug with the developing situation in the field.

"Maybe we should stay and follow what's happening with Cammy's team." Ally said.

Sheila was concerned about it too. She felt their options were very limited.

"There's nothing we can do from the ship." Sheila said. "John Henry and CamNet are running the operation. Young Allison and Anna are heavily involved. What can we do from here?"

Ally looked at what Sheila was looking at.

"I see Mary and Laura are in the rear lounge now." Ally said.

It was good news to Sheila. She was sure the more alcohol they consumed, the more likely they were to do what she wanted.

"A few drinks will do them good." Sheila said. "They'll be more apt to try more."

Ally looked at Sheila. She could tell it was all Sheila's idea. She didn't think it was the girl's idea.

"You need to make sure it's what they really want." Ally said. "It's a big decision for them."

Sheila didn't care about it. She would show the girls her piercings again. Mary might do a little more.

"I don't think it will be a problem." Sheila said.

Jim knocked and entered the Control Center.

He greeted Sheila and Ally. They got him up to speed on the operation.

Sheila told him the rooms were all in order and the beds were 'turned down' for the evening. She made sure she placed a little wrapped chocolate candy in front of each of their pillows.

Ally and Sheila went to leave.

Jim was very pleased with his break to visit the Main Theater.

"I want to thank both of you for allowing me to attend the performance. I found it very educational and pleasing." Jim said. "It was very stimulating."

Sheila glanced down at his pants. She wanted to have a little fun.

"I can see it was." Sheila said. "I can get the swelling down for you."

Jim looked down at his pants. He'd been very stimulated watching the female dancers up close. He didn't want to make a big deal about it.

"I'm fine for now." Jim said.

Ally was pleased to see Jim enjoyed getting out.

"I can stay here tomorrow while we're at Catalina." Ally said. "I've been there before. It will allow you to get out some more."

Jim said he would think about it. He watched them exit the Control Center. He quickly readjusted his pants. He enjoyed looking at the female dancers more than he did the singing. He would need to look at some images on the internet. It was all for 'research'. He seemed to do a lot of it nowadays.


Ally and Sheila went to Sheila's room along with her 'bag of tricks'. It was the bag she'd obtained items from the infirmary to do any additional piercings in a hygienic manner.

"Do you want to change?" Ally asked.

Sheila planned to strip naked while she did the procedure.

"I don't think it matters." Sheila said.

Ally looked a little disappointed.

"We have other dresses we can wear." Ally said.

Sheila could see Ally wanted to change clothes.

"Sure, we can change." Sheila said. "It will only take a minute."

Ally smiled and took out two new dresses from Sheila's closet. They stripped down and changed.

Sheila thought about knocking off a quickie with Ally but decided they could do that afterwards. She was really going to need to be with someone after they interacted with Mary and hopefully Laura.

Sheila added a few more sets of rings to the bag with everything in it.

Ally watched closely and made sure there wasn't a scalpel in the bag. She didn't want Sheila to get carried away. She could see Laura was a prime candidate. She was going to make sure it didn't happen on the ship.

She was worried about Sheila's behavior sometimes. She could really get carried away when she was doing something. She'd seen her do it numerous times on one of Cameron's 'off the books' operations. She always took her time in terminating the perpetrators. She didn't always agree with Sheila's methods. She did think the perpetrators were given just punishment for their crimes before they were terminated. It better protected the future.`


Samantha was pleased she was able to share with Vanna and Allison again. She felt much better about her Resequencing now. It seemed to be a hit with all of the girls, especially Claire and Allison. She found it somewhat different than she would have expected.

She'd asked both Vanna and Allison if they could help her to be with Savannah before Riley and Derek returned tomorrow. They told her they would try but it was up to Savannah and probably Cammy. They knew Savannah ran a tight schedule and she needed some time to actually sleep. She would often be back out in the field the next day again.

She was lost deep in thought thinking of Savannah and realized someone was talking. It brought her back to now.

"Let me concentrate on you right now." Allison said.

Samantha liked the idea.

"OK." Samantha said. "Do you want me to turn into the light a little more?"

Allison smiled.

"No. You're good." Allison said. "I can see everything perfectly."

Samantha could feel Allison 'look' at her.

"It's all for you right now." Samantha said.

It seemed to set Allison off on a mission.

Samantha laid back and enjoyed the sensation. It was intense.

Allison was elated. She worked on Samantha in ecstasy. She only thought of Samantha as 'Samantha'. She didn't see her 'mother' as being there. It was no different than any of the other Metal girls she shared with who looked like her. Cam, Cammy, Camille and Ally weren't her. She really wished she'd taken a little more after her mother.


The Gray wanted the men to go over everything they'd done for the last week in detail. He wanted to know the locations they'd done reconnaissance on and anything they had under surveillance. He thought their operation was a little sloppy. He needed to plan his next move.

The two men filled him in on everything. He actually didn't think it was very much. A little more time passed as they waited for the other three men to return from 'shopping'.

"When are those other guys going to come back?" The Gray asked.

The two men looked at each other. They weren't sure. They thought they should have been back some time ago. They tried to call them again but none of the phones worked. They were just going to need to wait.

"I don't know." The first man said. "I really thought they'd be back by now. "

The second man tried not to glance at the first one.

I'm looking forward to their return." The second man said. "We haven't had any action around here in over a week."

The first man quickly glanced at the second one. He tried not to smile.

The Gray knew the true story about the men. He wasn't going to bring it up. He didn't think it really mattered. Why should it? If they found comfort with each other, wasn't it a good thing?

"With all the other trouble we've had in the last week, I'm worried about them.

The two men didn't think it was anything extreme.

"I think they'll be back soon." The first man said.

The Gray didn't think so. He thought there was something else going on. He didn't think he'd been tailed to his current location. There was no one behind him when he'd made his last two turns. He didn't think it was him who brought trouble with him. He may have at the last location. He knew he hadn't at this location.

"I want to drive around and see if I can spot them." The Gray said. "Since none of our phones work, they may have got stuck somewhere or ran into some type of trouble."

The first man looked a little worried.

"One of us can do it." The first man said.

The Gray wanted to do it himself.

"You already described the van and the color." The Gray said. "I don't think it will be hard to miss."

The second man didn't think it was necessary.

"It's up to you, dude." The second man said.

The Gray didn't want there to be any type of attitude problem.

"It is up to me." The Gray said. "Don't call me 'dude' either."

The Gray went over and looked at the security system. He thought the men were a little sloppy by leaving the gate open. He realized why they had. It was because they expected the return of the other three men. He looked over at the two vehicles parked inside of the building.

"I'm going to take one of your cars to look around in." The Gray said. "If you want to do something useful, you two can go dump my vehicle a few blocks away from here. I needed to borrow it when I left my last location. I'm sure it's reported stolen by now."

The two men didn't want any trouble.

"We can take care of it right now." The first man said.

The second man was a little worried because he'd upset the Gray earlier.

"It's no problem." The second man said. "We can follow you out when you go to look at the locations of the three stores they could have gone to."

The Gray wanted to get things moving. He got into the car closest to the roll up door and started it. As soon as it opened he drove out. He would check the closest supermarket first. The other two cars followed behind him as they left the location. They went in a different direction.


The female Fanatic felt she was back in business. She needed to get something to give the C-4 for a little extra boost. She didn't think she was going to find any barrels or drums to fill with gasoline again. She needed something else. She knew where to get it.

She always paid attention to what was around her as she drove. She'd spotted a gardening store a few blocks away from where the supermarket was at. She planned to go there and do a little shopping.

She took one last look at her car and the shed that the three men were behind. She was indifferent about what happened. They were the enemy. They came to attack her. They were the ones who were dead. If they would have stuck to doing their job and not tried to abuse females, they might still be alive for a little while longer. She planned to bring their building down one way or the other. They would have died soon enough anyway.

She exited the parking lot. She was headed for a gardening store. She soon spotted it.

The lights in the gardening store were dim as she drove past. It appeared they were closed. She was a little surprised. She thought they would still be open. She figured it didn't really matter. She was going to get what she needed one way or the other.

She checked behind her to make sure she didn't have a tail. She drove two blocks past the gardening store and made a right hand turn. She immediately pulled over to the side of the curb and turned the lights on the van off. She watched intently to see if anyone came around the corner, even if they edged the nose of their vehicle around the corner to take a look. No one did.

She waited for a few minutes. She checked the satellite image of the area around the gardening store to determine her best means of approach. It would be through the alley. It was right in front of her. She started the van and turned into the alley. She headed back towards the gardening store through the alley. She needed to cross over two small streets to reach the location.

There were no cars parked in the parking lot adjacent to the alley in back of the gardening store. She took it as a good sign. It meant no one was around. She looked at the gates located on the back of the store. There was a storage area in back of it. She decided to do some recon first. She was sure they would have what she needed. She wanted to make sure she could put the grab on it when she found it.

She continued through the alley and turned left at the next small street. She drove around the block and came up on the street next to the other side of the gardening store. She stopped half a block away from the alley. She got out and approached the gardening store on foot.

She went into the alley behind the gardening store. She went directly to the storage area in the back of it. She took a quick look around. She didn't see anyone or any surveillance cameras. She climbed the fence. There were pallets of different types of gardening supplies stacked up on shelves under a covering. She went to the fertilizer section and spotted what she wanted. There were two pallets of what she wanted.

The female Fanatic looked around and saw a pallet jack. She brought it over to the first pallet of ammonia nitrate and jacked it up. She pushed it towards the gate.


CamNet's two Terminators remained where they were. They let the drone continue to do the surveillance for them on both of the individuals. They wondered what was going on inside of the building the Gray went into and where the female Fanatic was headed.

It wasn't long before the drone picked up movement. The van headed away from the supermarket.

"It looks like our target is on the move." The first Terminator said.

The drone completed another orbit.

"The female Fanatic isn't the only one on the move." The second Terminator said.

They watched as someone exited the building and headed for the car the Gray had driven to the location in. The roll up door was open now as well. They watched two cars drive out. They weren't sure what was going on. They didn't know if the men were going to run or not. It looked like it.

"The man headed for the car outside isn't the Gray who brought it there." The first Terminator said.

They waited for a drone image to zoom in to see if the drivers of either of the other two vehicles were the Gray who'd arrived earlier.

"I see him." The first Terminator said. "He's in the blue car."

They watched the Gray's original car and another car turn off from the blue car. They were clearly going in two different directions. The Gray appeared to be headed towards the supermarket. The other two vehicles only went a few blocks away before the one car was dumped off. The second car returned back to the target location with both men.

CamNet's Terminators watched as the Gray headed for the supermarket. The female Fanatic climbed over the fence of a gardening store. They could see her move a pallet up to the gate.


On A Mission

When one seeks out another
They don't want to be an acquisition
They want more than that
They don't want to be put on exhibition

What a relationship is
Doesn't depend on definition
It should be open
Not filled with suspicion

There should only be two
It's more than tradition
Things should be equal
It shouldn't rely on submission

No one wants opposition
It's not a competition
There shouldn't be any
Lies of omission

Forget the superstition
Show some ambition
It's more than attrition
When one is on a mission

Nobody
