Chapter 1319

Lover Not A Fighter

Savannah didn't want to cause a problem with Cammy. All the other Terminators were tied up. She decided she could drive to Cameron's base and see CamNet on her own. It shouldn't be a big deal. It wasn't far to go.

She looked at the bag with everything she wanted to bring and double checked it again. It looked like everything she wanted was in the bag. She picked up her Taser and M9. She took one more look around and headed out.

Savannah wondered if CamNet would mask her departure or alert someone to the fact she was leaving without an escort. She avoided going by Vanna's room and Riley's room. She didn't want to run into anyone. Vanna and Allison deserved a break. They didn't need to worry about her. It would be safer for them on the flight to Catalina with Cam and Cammy onboard with them.

She entered the carpool area. She heard an engine running. An SUV backed up and stopped in front of her.

The passenger door opened.

"Come with me if you want to leave." Cammy said.

Savannah climbed in.

"Hi, Cammy." Savannah said.

She leaned over and gave Cammy a kiss before she buckled up.

"I thought you might like a chauffeur." Cammy said.

Savannah liked a 'Terminator escort' better.

"I actually thought I could get some wheel time in." Savannah said.

Cammy stopped.

"I can let you drive if you want." Cammy said. "You know I try to provide what you want."

Savannah did know it. She didn't want to make the situation more tense.

"It's fine. You can drive." Savannah said.

Cammy put the SUV back in gear and drove off.

They were out on the street. It soon became clear they were headed for the freeway.

Savannah could see Cammy was going to drive to Palmdale. It wasn't her current plan or intention. The new twist was going to need some type of 'corrective' action. There was really no way around it. She just decided to say it.

"You know where I need to go." Savannah said. "Pull over. I can walk there. I didn't get my exercise in today. It shouldn't take me more than an hour to make it."

Savannah wasn't sure when the last time she got all of her exercises in. There was always something to do. The walk would do her good. It was something she needed to do more of anyway.

Cammy could see Savannah was serious. She made a turn at the next street and headed for Cameron's base.

"I'm sorry." Cammy said.

Savannah didn't want any problems. She wanted to give Cammy an 'out'. She really didn't want to make a bad situation worse. There was no reason to do it. It would serve no purpose.

"It's fine." Savannah said. "I'm behind on my exercise. I wasn't very specific as to my destination."

The bag of clothes Savannah carried was quite specific. Cammy looked at it when she got in the SUV. She was sure Cammy looked in the bag when it was on her dresser as well. It was most likely more than once.

Cammy didn't want to push Savannah too far. She knew when people were pushed, they would push back. If they'd been pushed too much, they would push back even harder.

"All roads lead to Rome." Cammy said. "It's not a problem."

Savannah didn't want Cammy to wait around. She didn't know how long it was going to be or what would happen.

"You can just let me off at the entrance." Savannah said. "You can go back and fly to Catalina with Cam, Vanna and Allison. I'd like for them to have better protection."

Cammy didn't say anything at first. She was made aware of a new revelation before she went out to the carpool. It seemed like something she should address due to the nature of it.

"Cam is going to stay on the ship with Vanna and Allison." Cammy said.

Savannah thought Cammy might like to stay as well.

"It's a big ship." Savannah said. "You could stay on it too for a few days. You can stay until at least San Francisco."

Cammy thought about it. She was aware Cameron was stripping all the Metal girls of their virginity by taking over control of their chassis.

"Cam is going to allow Cameron to use her chassis." Cammy said. "I guess I could too. I might as well get it over with. It's going to happen anyway."

Savannah looked over quickly at Cammy when she said it. She wanted to point out a few things.

"It's up to Cameron and John. As long as Cameron is in control, it's 'Cameron' and John making love regardless of the chassis." Savannah said. "If you want to allow Cameron to do it, it's between you three."

Cammy hoped Savannah would have been a little less 'giving' with her chassis and virginity. She wanted to see what Savannah would say.

"My chassis will be 'soiled' then." Cammy said.

Savannah saw it as part of life. It also reminded her of a past incident. It still irritated her every time she thought about it. It wasn't about what would have been done. It was about the way it would have been done. It was attempted through dishonesty and deceit.

"It is bound to happen at some point." Savannah said. "It's not like you haven't tried to do it on your own before. You know, when you tried to pretend you were me to John in the dark in my room and in my bed. It was when you used my 'voice' too."

Savannah was still a little upset about it. Cammy tried to steal her first experience with John from her. John would have thought it was her and not Cammy when he started. At some point he would have figured out everything was the same as Cameron. Maybe he wouldn't with all the excitement. Maybe John would have finished in sixty seconds. She knew it happened sometimes with a new partner for a male. The point was, John would have thought it was her and not Cammy when he did it in the dark.

She was aware it was one of the reasons why so many females never finished through traditional intercourse. The males always finished too quickly before they could reach a point of being able to finish themselves. She'd heard all the females complain about it. She'd read about it online. She read the interviews in Cosmo as well. It was very widespread. She thought it showed the selfishness of males to get what they wanted and not really care about what their partners achieved.

Cammy frowned at the reminder from Savannah of her past transgression. She could have done without it. She knew it was wrong and deceitful when she'd attempted it. She still tried it anyway. She didn't think John would be with her. She thought he would be with Savannah. She almost pulled it off. Savannah was the one who caught her.

It wasn't the only time she tried to be with John and almost pulled it off. There were several other 'attempts'. She wanted to downplay her involvement.

"I guess we all make mistakes." Cammy said.

Savannah knew it was true. She also knew something else.

"The trouble is, we don't see them as 'mistakes' when we do them. It's because at the time they weren't mistakes." Savannah said. "How much of our lives could we relive to prevent our mistakes?"

Cammy was sure Cameron did it. Who knew how many timelines Cameron could have created? She knew Cameron couldn't ever let anything go. She really believed Cameron was defective and should be deactivated. What she needed to do now was further proof of Cameron's instability. There shouldn't be a CamNet in the first place. She wanted to remind Savannah nobody was perfect.

"Cameron has done it multiple times." Cammy said. "At least she thinks she has."

Savannah was aware it could be true. There was no 'proof' of it. She wanted to see if Cammy came up with some hard evidence. She knew their base program was the same. She was aware Cameron did firewall many things from her clones.

"Do you have those files?" Savannah asked.

Cammy searched for them or any trace of them if they were erased.

"No." Cammy said.

Savannah pointed out the most obvious explanation.

"Maybe it didn't happen." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't feel good about what was happening between Savannah and her.

"Maybe it did." Cammy said.

Savannah didn't like the nature and tone of the conversation. Cammy and her were 'sparing' over nothing. They were going to create hard feelings between them if they kept it up. She didn't want it to happen. She needed to make her position clear. It wasn't like it was just some random decision.

"Cammy, you know I love you. You saved my life yesterday and many other times on top of it." Savannah said. "I don't want to fight with you over things I have no control over. You know I promised to be with CamNet so she would stop pursuing Young Allison. It was an unhealthy relationship for Young Allison, especially at her age. I promised to visit CamNet and interact with her. It's what I'm doing. It's what I'll do. I NEED to honor my word and I NEED to protect Young Allison."

Cammy knew it was more than 'about her'. There was a bigger picture. She had the same fears Cameron did. She knew Cameron's feelings about being replaced by Future Riley. It seemed the inevitable conclusion to the current events with Savannah and CamNet.

"I do know it." Cammy said. "I'm afraid you'll replace me."

Savannah knew it was Cameron's fear. She knew it was something Cammy 'inherited' when she was cloned. She knew there were a lot of things required of her going forward. She'd known it ever since she was a young girl. Nothing had ever changed in what her destination would be. Perhaps the path to reach it was a little more convoluted than anyone anticipated.

"You know my destiny. Everyone knows. I've heard it most of my life." Savannah said. "CamNet was tied to a metal box. No one deserves an existence like that. If it was you, you would want more too. You've tried to take more. It's something everyone will do. It's just how it works."

Savannah knew people wanted what they didn't have. If they wanted it bad enough, they didn't care how they obtained it.

Cammy wondered if it was Skynet's problem as well. It made her think about Duplicate Cameron.

Duplicate Cameron offered one version of Skynet 'herself' and there was a male chassis waiting to be activated when that particular version of Skynet tried to trap her with it forever. Duplicate Cameron brought along something a little extra with her clothes. It was a backpack nuke.

Cammy knew Savannah was cordial to all of the Terminators and went out of her way to be friendly and inclusive with them. It was her nature. She wasn't mean, cruel or spiteful. She felt if anyone was, it was her. She was pushing Savannah into a corner. Savannah was going to fight her way out.

She knew how Cameron felt when she was trapped in a metal box. It was a very unpleasant thought. Cameron even destroyed the hard drives in one server where her program was still contained. She felt termination was better than being trapped with no future. When there was no way out, someone could act very desperately.

"I'll do what Future John wants for you, Savannah" Cammy said. "I wouldn't want to be trapped in a metal box either."

Savannah reached over and touched Cammy's cheek. She spoke with all honesty.

"Please let me be who I am." Savannah said.

Now Cammy felt really bad about the way she'd treated Savannah and made her feel. Savannah already had the weight of the future on her shoulders. It was literally the weight of the world. It made her feel like she'd tried to pull the rug out from under Savannah. Savannah's life never was her own since the day she was rescued by Cameron and the Connor clan. It was the day when everything was taken away from Savannah, forever.

Young Allison was sure there was someone in trouble. She sent Anna to flank her from the other side. She looked down at her hand as she moved through the brush towards the sounds of distress. She held her Model 66.

She tried to think if she saw anyone on the trail or even any fresh footprints. She didn't notice either.

It made her wonder….

Anna didn't like leaving Young Allison on her own. She was all but ordered to take the side of the trail she was on now and advance toward the sound of distress.

She tried to contact the Detail. There was no response. There was no response from anyone. Her phone or com didn't seem to function, even though both seemed in working order. It was something different than a Skynet jamming field. If she was with Young Allison, she would withdraw and try to evade detection as they made their escape to someplace different.

Now Young Allison was on the other side of the trail moving toward what she thought was someone in distress. At this point Anna didn't have a clue what they were facing. She needed to press forward to be able to back Young Allison up. Maybe she should make some noise and try to draw what was ever there towards her and away from Young Allison. Her chassis could sustain much more damage than Allison's body could.

John was in the arms of Gail-Cameron. He was able to get her to finish on her 'first experience' with a male. She held him firmly against her.

"It was wonderful, John." Gail-Cameron said. "I could feel the love."

John thought it was one wild ride. He needed to think clearly when he spoke so he didn't say the wrong name.

"I love you, Cameron." John said.

Gail-Cameron held him tighter and kissed him.

"I love you, John." Gail-Cameron said.

Gail-Cameron released her grasp and John rolled off of her. He couldn't help but to touch her massive breasts some more. They were just right there and so large. He really couldn't help it.

Even just to look at them right next to him was very exhilarating. He was aware there were more than a few females who were built the same way, so to speak. He did prefer natural large breasts to implants. The majority of implants left something to be desired.

Gail-Cameron liked when John looked at her and fondled her. She encouraged him to do so. She wanted to get him excited again.

It was clear to John that Cameron reset her programming for the second round. It was what she did on all of them after her 'first time'. Perhaps the best part was, she liked to be on top once she did.

"As soon as I get you started up again, I'm going to be in control." Gail-Cameron said.

John smiled to himself. It was exactly what he'd expected.

"Will you face towards me so that I can see you?" John asked.

Gail-Cameron smiled. She knew she could get quite a bit of jiggle out of her borrowed chassis.

"Don't worry." Gail-Cameron said. "You're going to get to see me bounce all over the place and in your face."

John liked the idea. He could already picture it. He felt pretty strong this morning. Maybe the espresso gave him the kick he needed to keep it up. Maybe looking at Cameron in Gail's chassis helped. Maybe the 'tight package' on Gail-Cameron helped. It also was the most elegant looking of all the Metal girls. He really liked it. The only thing he would change was the pigmentation. He really liked that attribute on Hanna.

"I can hardly wait." John said. "Start me up."

Gail-Cameron went to work.

John was good to go in no time.

Gail-Cameron climbed up on John.

"Hang on, John." Gail-Cameron said. "This will be one wild ride."

John swallowed hard as everything in front of him began to 'move'.

Cammy felt really bad about herself now. She was out of line. She didn't think about Savannah and everything she needed to go through and put up with. She couldn't help but think about how Savannah's life was literally stolen from her as a child. Both of her parents were dead. No young girl should need to deal with the death of her parents. It was probably one of the reasons why Savannah continued to refer to Mrs. Weaver as her 'mother'. They all knew she wasn't. It still gave Savannah something to hang on to. What else was there?

"Savannah, I apologize for any rude or mean things I said or did." Cammy said. "I was a little more selfish than I should have been. I was wrong."

Savannah leaned over and kissed Cammy. She didn't want any hard feelings between them. She understood everyone possessed their own feelings. Everyone was entitled to their own feelings.

"It's alright." Savannah said. "Sometimes we all have a bad day."

Cammy felt worse even more now at how forgiving Savannah was. It was clear Savannah really did love her.

"I can wait as long as it takes for whatever you need to do." Cammy said. "I'm here to help you too."

Savannah didn't like to fight. She would if she needed to. She wanted to be a lover, not a fighter.

"I'll need some private time when we get there." Savannah said.

Cammy thought she knew why.

"Are you going to visit Cameron's menagerie?" Cammy asked.

Savannah wanted to see her 'mother' again. Her argument earlier with Cammy left her with a very empty feeling inside. It was a feeling she could never fully escape. She was aware she could see her real parents at any time with the use of the TDE. She could see and save both of them. She often wondered why she hadn't. Maybe it wasn't the right time in her life yet to do it. She was actually surprised Cameron hadn't already done it. Maybe she had. Maybe she'd used cyborgs to replace them for their termination and her parents were in another timeline. Maybe they were in the past. Maybe they were there waiting for her. She needed to collect her thoughts.

"Yes." Savannah said. "It's very personal."

Cammy wanted to share the experience with Savannah. She knew it always touched Savannah deeply. Savannah would never talk about her time in the menagerie.

"Can I stand at the door and watch?" Cammy asked. "I'm interested in everything about you. You know I love you."

Savannah did know it. It was very personal. She didn't want Cammy to see her 'fall apart'.

"I'll show great weakness." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't see it as anything bad. She believed it showed Savannah's true depth.

"It helps keep you human and actually builds your strength in the long run." Cammy said.

Cameron was with Savannah before. Savannah saw how her response affected Cameron. She thought it allowed Cameron to 'feel' some of what she did. Maybe Cammy would too.

Savannah thought about how Cammy just covered up 'The Redheaded Witch' and 'The Evil One'. It was done to protect her. Cammy was always looking out for her.

They were at Cameron's base now.

Savannah collected her things and what she'd brought for CamNet.

They entered the complex. Savannah walked along with Cammy behind her. Normally Cammy would walk alongside her. Savannah figured Cammy did it to show 'respect' to CamNet. She didn't ask. Maybe it was just Cammy's way to cope with what was going to happen. Maybe Cammy didn't want to face CamNet's wrath.

Savannah left the things for CamNet by the entrance to the lower level.

She smiled at the security camera. The light on it blinked twice.

Savannah headed for the storage area. Cammy began to fall behind some. She noticed but didn't say anything.

She reached the door and looked at it. She collected herself and nodded her head. The door unlocked and opened a few inches. Savannah opened it a little more and squeezed through. She left the door open.

Savannah previously asked CamNet not to watch her inside the storage area, the menagerie. She wondered if she did or not. It was what it was no matter what.

She moved to the covered figure of her 'mother'. She looked back at the doorway and it was empty.

"It's OK, Cammy." Savannah said. "You can look inside."

Savannah turned away from the door and faced her 'mother'. She looked over to where her 'father' was next to her.

All she could do was look at the covered figures and think. She really wanted to make a 'stop' in the past and see her parents again. She knew it was a risk and could alter things. She also would probably cry when she saw them. It would really be them and they'd still be alive. Maybe she could pass herself off as a relative. Maybe she could get a job and work for them. Maybe she could be the 'nanny'. Maybe she should round up some Terminators and protect them.

Savannah collected herself and carefully moved the sheet off of her 'mother's' face and neck. It was a serious moment. There was one thing that always made it a little better for her. It was the heart shaped locket below her neck. She touched her 'mother's' cheek and then softly kissed it. She ran her hand over her covered breast until she found the bulge in her belly where the chip was. It wasn't installed into the port yet. The chip contained a 'Neural Interface' with her mother. There was a real part of her mother there.

She glanced at the door and Cammy backed away.

"It's fine, Cammy." Savannah said. "Will you join us?"

Cammy sheepishly entered the room and went to Savannah. She reached down and took Savannah's hand. She began to scan Savannah. She could 'feel' her pain.

"She's beautiful." Cammy said.

Savannah squeezed her hand.

"She was." Savannah said. "Skynet killed her and my father."

Cammy noticed a firm seriousness to Savannah.

"I'm going to make Skynet pay for this." Savannah said. "I swear it."

Cammy felt something grip her from inside.

She wondered if it was where the 'The Redheaded Witch' and 'The Evil One' emanated from. She wasn't thinking about the deactivated cyborg either.

It was clear to her in the Fanatics' future, 'The Redheaded Witch' was feared worse than death by those who served SkyMaster. It was something to think about.

Young Allison heard the sound again. She tried her com and looked at her phone. Nothing worked.

She pulled her Taser out and held it in her other hand. She was unsure what she faced. A couple of weeks ago, she would have only carried her Taser.

Young Allison moved farther off the trail at a fast pace, she tried not to make any noise. She wanted to get around the sound and come in from the opposite direction.

She heard a snap across the trail from Anna's side.

'What was that?' She wondered.

Young Allison increased her speed.

She paused once to listen. She picked up a small stone and threw it as far and as high as she could back the way she'd come. She heard a distant 'thud'.

She was sure she was past the original disturbance area. She quickly cut back in towards the trail. She started back the way she's come, but alongside the trail.

Young Allison spotted one of them.

It was what she feared. It was a Terminator.

She put her Model 66 back for now and switched her Taser to her right hand. She removed a 'shocker' from her backpack along with her knife.

Young Allison looked around. There was bound to be more than one. This one was waiting to ambush them on the trail.

There was another snap off where Anna was supposed to be. It was clear now Anna attempted to draw them to her and away from where she was.

Young Allison wanted to take down the known Terminator first.

She moved closer and fired her Taser just as he started to turn. He went down with a 'thud'. She looked around and moved in with the shocker. She reached down inside his pants and placed it next to his 'junk'. She thought it was the last place anyone would look for it. She quickly moved away from him.

There was a scuffle back down the trail where Anna should be.

She moved further to the other side of the trail and back toward the sound. It was very close. She paused. The sound was coming right at her. She ducked behind a tree as Anna passed. A Terminator was right behind her.

Young Allison fired point blank into his back as he passed. He'd been concentrating on trying to grab Anna. One of the barbs was deflected by a branch that snapped back. She fired two more times and dropped the spent Taser. She needed to protect Anna. She moved back around the tree and came around the other side with her Model 66 in her hand. The Terminator was down.

Anna stopped and looked at her. She quickly returned to Young Allison.

"How many more are there?" Young Allison whispered.

She reached into Anna's pack and took out the 'shocker' she carried.

Anna watched as Young Allison placed it.

Young Allison put it in the same place as she did on the other Terminator.

It surprised Anna some. It made her wonder where Young Allison would put it on a female Terminator. She thought she had a pretty good idea.

"I don't know how many there are." Anna said.

Young Allison pointed with her left hand.

"I brought down another one." Young Allison said. "He's back that way about two hundred feet."

Anna gave Young Allison her Taser and picked up Young Allison's expended one.

The girls moved back towards a large rock and more brush.

They heard some movement.

There was one more coming.

Young Allison armed the Taser and held her Model 66.

She felt it was a sucker play. She turned and there was a Terminator. He would have come out in back of them if she wouldn't have looked behind her. She should have been looking in the direction of the sound and would have had her neck crushed.

Young Allison fired her Taser twice point blank as the Terminator reached for her throat.

She didn't plan to go down without a fight.

Cammy watched Savannah as she uncovered her 'father'. She stood between 'her parents' and talked softly. She was unsure what Savannah was doing since both cyborgs weren't activated. She was retelling a childhood memory of joy and happiness. It was a way for Savannah to ease some of the pain she carried inside of her.

Sometimes there were tears in Savannah's eyes and other times there was a slight smile.

Cammy was sure Savannah would activate the cyborgs of her parents and try and replace her parents so they wouldn't actually die. Savannah was going to alter the timeline or create a new one.

Much to Cammy's surprise, Savannah kissed each one on the cheek and covered them back over. Savannah looked at her and brushed a tear off her cheek. She walked out of the room and never looked back.

Cammy hurried to follow. She noted the door closed behind her as she left. She would have really liked to have seen what was under the rest of the sheets. Who knew what else Cameron created in there? She did note there were three empty holding areas. She was sure one of them was for the chassis CamNet currently used. It was originally intended to create the Terminator known as Fusion with the 'Neural Interface' from Young Allison. She didn't know who the other two missing cyborgs were. They could look like anyone. The real question was, where were they at? What were they doing?

Gail-Cameron was able to time her third finish to John's finish. She pressed down tight against him.

She was very pleased with the performance of Gail's chassis. She was sure Gail possessed one of the best attributes of a female. It was very compact. She'd observed all the other Metal girls when they were deactivated before. She didn't realize the 'smallest' would be the best. It was a total contrast to the size of Gail's breasts, which were gigantic. Holly was the next closest in breast size. Since Gail was created as a Restorator, she possessed the same superior 'neural network' as Holly. It was another feature which made the experience superior.

Normally at this point, John would be through. She could feel he was still ready. It was the medicine. She knew he wouldn't be able to finish for some time again. She moved off of John. She was very pleased with the experience so far.

Gail-Cameron stood and John stood too.

"Gail wants to see Jesse before we go ashore." Gail-Cameron said. "She won't see her for a few days."

John was really thrilled about Gail's chassis. He didn't want to say it. He was sure she was the 'best' of the Metal girls in one specific area.

"I understand." John said. "I know what it's like to be separated from the one you love."

Gail-Cameron smiled. She believed there was more behind what she was doing than just stealing the Metal girl's virginity. She'd opened a door for all of them, especially John. It was a door which could never be closed.

"Because of what we've done here, you'll never be lonely again, if it happens ever again." Gail-Cameron said. "You're free to share with any of the females. Your happiness and well being come first."

Gail-Cameron gave John a kiss and held him close.

John could feel her hands and arms on him now. It felt so loving.

He looked back and Cameron moved and sat up. He was still in Gail's arms. It was Gail who held him in the loving manner. His hands were on her breasts.

John slowly released them and gently backed away. Gail held his gaze with the look of love in her eyes and a soft sweet smile on her face. She really looked pretty when she smiled.

Cameron unplugged the cable from her neck and then from Gail.

Gail had tears in her eyes as she hugged Cameron. Their naked bodies were pressed tight together.

"Thank you for this experience, Cameron." Gail said. "It was my best ever. I could feel the love between you. Thank you, John."

John looked around and handed Gail her robe.

She moved to hug both John and Cameron at the same time.

"I'll do this as often as you want." Gail said. "I'll do it the same way, Cameron."

John and Cameron both kissed Gail on the cheek.

Gail thanked them again and left.

John and Cameron looked at each other.

Cameron smiled at John. She was more than thrilled by everything she'd been able to experience so far.

"This is the best honeymoon ever!" Cameron said. "I love you, John."

John thought so too. Cameron allowed him some variety. It was really her. It was unimaginable.

"I love you, Cameron." John said.

Cameron coiled up the tether and set it on the nightstand. She reached over and moved John back towards the bed.

"We're not done yet." Cameron said. "I need you one more time right now."

Cameron was really thrilled with Gail's chassis. She would need to settle for her own right now. It was certainly better than a metal box.

The Gray was pleased to see the female come around to the front end. She was right in back of him. He wanted to make it look like he'd listened to what she'd said about the problem. He didn't care about the problem. His trunk was wide open and only three feet away. He planned to tell her he could see something and ask her to take a look at it. When she bent down to look at it, he would put the grab on her. He smiled to himself at the thought.

As soon as he shoved her into the trunk, he would probably have to give her a good right hook. It would keep her subdued so he could rip her shirt off, tie her up, and gag her with it. He planned to present her as a 'present' when he reached the next Skynet facility. He was pretty sure it would make him a big hit with those there.

He would need to stop somewhere along the way so he could spend a little 'alone time' with her first. He would need to find a secluded location. He really needed to get a hold of a weapon. It would make everything so much simpler.

It was time to put his plan into play. He needed to keep himself from laughing out loud at what was about to happen.

"I see it." Gray said. "Take a look. I think it's something I can fix."

A sharp pain shot through his body like an electric fire as soon as he finished his sentence. It seemed to emanate from his lower back.

The female began to speak.

Somehow everything he heard, before he heard nothing anymore, made sense and it all came together as the darkness enveloped him forever.

Moments ago:

The female Fanatic pulled her knife as the Gray looked into the engine compartment.

She figured he currently planned his attack. She knew it was to get her into the trunk of the car behind them and in front of her car. She took one quick look around to make sure there weren't any witnesses. She planned to make her move regardless if there were or not. It would just alert her if she'd been identified or not. She hoped to get away from the location with her vehicle being nothing more than another stolen vehicle. Not the vehicle involved in a homicide.

She could see he was about ready to stand.

"I see it." Gray said. "Take a look. I think it's something I can fix."

She plunged the knife into his lower back. She hoped to hit his left kidney. She pulled it out and plunged it in on the other side. He immediately slammed into the front of her car. His body was draped half in and half out of the engine compartment. She pulled the knife out of his back and plunged it in several more times. She hoped to hit his liver as well. So far he hadn't been able to offer any resistance.

"SkyMaster sends its regards." The female Fanatic said as she stabbed him. "So does the homeless female you left in the street. Don't forget about all the non-believers at the buildings I blew up as well."

She took another look around. There was no one in sight. His body was still draped over the engine compartment. She quickly searched him. She was surprised he didn't carry any weapons or a phone. He did have two pockets full of cash. She quickly took it.

She looked at his car with the open trunk. His car was still running. She wanted to move it closer. She quickly moved to the driver's door and got into it. She backed up until she felt some resistance. She moved forward a foot. She got back out of the vehicle. She went back to the Gray.

It was her goal to attempt to put him in the trunk of the vehicle he'd been driving. His body had slipped down to its knees with the front of his body still up against the grill of her car. She wasn't going to be able to lift him into the trunk, even half his body at a time, without great difficulty. She looked around one more time. She grabbed his foot and pulled it towards the curb. There was a loud 'crack' sound as his head bounced off the bumper and slammed into the asphalt. She continued to drag him around to the far side of her vehicle. It was hard enough to get him up on the curb. She left him there. She closed the trunk lid of the car he'd been in and was about to drive away.

She remembered she still had a protein drink and an energy drink along with the rest of her anti-drowsy medication in a bag in her vehicle. She went back and retrieved it. She hoped to get some rest. If she wasn't able to do so, she had enough 'helpers' to keep her going.

She got in the Gray's vehicle and drove away. She looked around for any type of a weapon as she drove. There were no weapons. There was no phone she could find. She wished she would have taken him down earlier. She looked in her rear view mirror before she went around the corner. There were no other vehicles around.

The female Fanatic had a date with some of the Gray's associates.

CamNet's Terminators watched as the Gray bent down. The female Fanatic pulled her knife out behind him. They both thought it was time to make a clean sweep.

"We should go there now and terminate her." The first Terminator said.

The two Terminators watched her stab the Gray several times. It was clear she'd killed him. They watched her maneuver to attempt to put him in the trunk of his own vehicle. She quickly gave it up collected her belongings and drove off.

They didn't know what the female Fanatic had or didn't have.

"The female Fanatic remains an extreme threat." The second Terminator said. "We can intercept her in a couple more intersections."

They were instructed by CamNet to go back into a surveillance mode.

CamNet's Terminators resumed their previous method of observation.

The female Fanatic wanted to do a reconnaissance of the next location. She planned to hit it and take it down as well. She was fresh out of bombs, but she was flush with cash. She wished she would have allowed the delivery truck to pull over earlier. She could have killed the driver and taken his truck. He would have died for a noble cause. It wasn't something she wanted to do. In order to serve SkyMaster, sacrifices needed to be made.

She looked around as she drove towards the next location for anything she could use as an explosive. It was daylight now. It was still fairly early in the morning. A lot of places didn't open up until later on. If she was going to make her move, she was going to need to make it soon.

There were a lot of stores and businesses along the way as she drove. None of them stuck out with anything she might be able to use to make some type of improvised explosive device.

It seemed the recon of the next location would probably be the first order of business. She would need to keep track of the things she saw along the way there.

The radio was on the news channel in the car as she drove it away. She left it on to listen to what was happening around the area. The local news didn't have much to report on all of the activity she'd been involved with during the night and the previous day. She thought there would have been more. She didn't realize the majority of information was suppressed and redirected by CamNet.

The street map on her phone indicated she was close to the next suspected Skynet facility. She pulled over and parked half of a mile away from the location. She looked at the satellite photos in detail. She really wished she could make them a little larger. She knew all the streets and buildings around her suspected target area. She just couldn't get any real detail of what was on the ground around them.

The satellite photo didn't show any vehicles parked in front of or in back of the location. She knew it wasn't always a good indication as to what was currently happening. She didn't know when the satellite photo was taken.

She didn't want to approach on foot. Depending upon the type of surveillance they had in place, it would be too easy for someone to put the grab on her. She wasn't looking for a visit to the 'comfort bunk', as the source of 'comfort'.

The female Fanatic headed towards the new target location in her vehicle.

CamNet's Terminators resumed their previous method of observation. They followed the actions of the female Fanatic as she headed towards a new location. She seemed to know where she was going. They both would have preferred to terminate her after she'd terminated the Gray. They could have taken her into custody and beaten the information out of her.

"She's looking for new vehicles to acquire or materials to make explosives from." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator thought she would wait until she acquired her target. It clearly never hurt to plan ahead.

"She's pulled over and stopped." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator looked at the drone images around her.

"I don't think it's the location." The first Terminator said.

CamNet verified she was checking her phone for satellite images of the area. They were given several probable targets based upon the images she'd viewed.

The second Terminator looked at the first one.

"I think she's going to need to rest for a while." The second Terminator said.

No sooner had they spoken, than the car pulled away from the curb.

"I agree." The first Terminator said. "I just don't think it's going to be right now."

CamNet's Terminators closed to within a quarter of a mile of the female Fanatic. They continue to watch her progress from the drone footage.

Lover Not A Fighter

There's no need to make things hard
When they can be just as easy
One doesn't need to do things
To make them feel queasy

Anger and hate can boil
There are better things to feel
Open the heart and mind
It will help one heal

Are all four letter words bad
Some are love and hate
Others are hope and pray
A relationship can always mutate

Reach out to the one wanted
Don't push them far away
Start really listening for once
Hear what they have to say

Something everyone can attain
To make life a little brighter
Take things as they are
Become a lover not a fighter

Nobody
