Chapter 1338
Made Her Move
John dressed himself and combed his hair. He thought he looked presentable. He knew Cameron went to help Allison. He was unsure how long it would take. He looked around the room some and then went out onto the balcony. The balcony door was still open as it had been for much of the voyage. He felt the fresh ocean air gave him a little extra edge in the bedroom. He didn't know it was from the 'little helper' Cameron slipped him.
The air was a little brisk when he went outside. There was now a noticeable up and down movement of the ship as well as some side to side motion. It wasn't too bad right now. It was more than it had been on the trip so far. Cameron warned him before about getting seasick. He thought she was being over cautious at the time but maybe not. He took the pill just to keep her from getting stressed out. He remembered on some of the videos he'd watched, people said they needed to take the anti-seasick medicine, which was basically 'motion sickness medicine', before they got seasick. Once they were seasick, it was too late.
As he looked out the balcony door, he could see the horizon rise and fall. The wind seemed to pick up. He went back inside the room but left the balcony door open. The fresh air was nice, even if it was a little chilled. It was a big switch from the Resistance base.
John looked over at the door to the connecting spare bedroom. It currently served as the Control Center for the ship. Maybe he could spend a few minutes in there and get caught up on what happened with operations. He could check to see if anything new happened in the last few days. Cameron had purposely kept him insulated from all the activities. She told him he was on vacation.
Even if he was on vacation, he didn't think it would hurt for him to know a little bit more about what was happening. If Cameron was worried he would want to get off the ship at one of the ports, it was something he wouldn't be able to do until the ship docked in San Francisco. He didn't think anything would be radical enough for him to have to do it in the first place. His mother, Derek and Kyle were all back. Jesse and Riley were there as well. He really didn't think anything would be too out of hand. More than likely Savannah and Cammy would be the ones who dealt with it. It did worry him some the burden fell on Savannah and Young Allison to pick up the slack of Cameron and him not being there.
He looked back out the open balcony door. He reached for the door handle to the Control Center.
Cameron was satisfied Allison was squared away and as pretty as she could be. She thought they both looked very much the same. It wasn't something which happened very often.
She headed back towards the Owner's Suite. John should almost be ready. When she reached the door she paused. She decided to visit the Honeymoon Suite instead and see how the Metal girls were doing. She wanted to make sure Ally was going to be available for later on tonight. She still had one virgin chassis to deliver to John as herself. She smiled at the thought. She was sure Holly's chassis and Gail's chassis were previously untouched. They were never under the control of Skynet and they were created as Restorators by Mrs. Weaver.
As far as Sheila, Hanna, Cam and Ally, she didn't know. There was a good chance they may have been Metal Whores before they were captured. They could have been sent on infiltration missions where sexual relation may have been required. One thing for sure was, since their sheaths were Resequenced into their present appearance, they were all virgins.
It left her to think about herself now. She was still afraid she may have been compromised by Future John or when she was captured by the Resistance. She was the one who may have been a Metal Whore. She'd tried to find out one way or the other. She never received the answers she sought. It was very troubling.
Cameron felt a glitch impulse in her left hand. She needed to stop thinking about the past, the future. What may or may not have been done to her and erased was unchangeable. There was no fixing it. Not without more timelines and she would still be the same either way. It left her to assume the worst. It always did.
She was startled by someone who appeared next to her.
"Is everything alright?" Jim asked.
Cameron looked at him for a few seconds.
"I'm fine." Cameron said.
Jim reached down and lifted her left hand for her to see, it glitched wildly.
"I'm not so sure about it." Jim said.
Cameron pulled her hand away from him and moved it behind her back. She could still feel it as it glitched behind her.
"I'm fine." Cameron said.
Jim wondered where she was going. She'd stopped at the door to the Owner's Suite and then at the door to the Honeymoon Suite. She was now at the door to exit the private area. It would take her outside the secure area and into the hall with the regular suites. Going out and mixing with the passengers in her current condition seemed like a bad idea. It was why he went to her.
He gently took her right arm and led her back to the Control Center. She went along without any protest. He'd sent a message to Gail-Cam to have Vanna meet him in the Control Center. He thought Vanna would be able to calm her. Vanna was 'Savannah Weaver' after all.
John hesitated to open the door to the Control Center. He released the handle and thought about it. Cameron wanted him to have a good time and not worry about anything.
He checked the time and they still had almost twenty minutes until dinner. He could just see what was happening around the base and make sure everyone who went back earlier was doing all right. What could it hurt?
John opened the door and walked inside.
He saw Cameron right away. She was bent over slightly as she looked at the monitors. She seemed not to notice him. He figured she would have at least looked. For a few seconds he was worried she might be having a problem. There was no indication of it earlier. He looked at her left hand. He didn't see any glitch.
Now he wondered what she looked at so intently. Maybe there was a problem. Savannah and Cammy could be in a jam somewhere. He really hoped they'd been able to take it easy for a few days.
He moved up behind Cameron and reached around from behind her and gently began to squeeze her breasts. He wanted to give her a pleasant surprise.
Cameron instantly stood up straight and stiffened. Her hands shot up to his. He thought she was going to pull them off. Her head cranked around and looked back at him. There was no smile on her face.
He went to move his hands away, instead she held them there. A smile appeared on her face and her hands encouraged his to resume what they were doing.
"You really know how to greet a girl." She said.
John was used to doing it to Cameron when he thought no one was around. She never resisted or said anything bad about it. It was always a 'green light' to him.
"I know what you like." John said. "Maybe I should say, you know what I like and allow me to do it."
The smile was still on her face.
"I'd have to say it's the case." She said. "I do like it though."
John's hands now gently ran down her sides and over the shape of her figure. The earlier stiffness which occurred was replaced by a more relaxed feeling. He could tell she wanted to be touched more.
His hands continued their journey around her figure as he kissed her neck. She reached up with one hand and moved her hair off to the side so he could nuzzle her neck easier. There was something which began to click in his head. It just wasn't sticking. He was excited about touching Cameron right now. It always excited him.
He ran his hands around her front and across her belly. They paused there for a few moments. Both of her hands came up and held his there. He went to continue his hand's journey around her body but she held his hands on her lower belly.
Something was different.
The door opened from the connecting door of the Master Suite. Hanna walked in. She looked perfect like only a Metal girl could.
"I got here as fast as I could." 'Hanna' said.
She stopped half way in the room and looked at the two figures by the monitors. She looked confused.
"I'm sorry." 'Hanna' said as she turned to leave.
Cameron's smile broadened some.
"Wait, Vanna." Allison said. "I was just having John touch his child."
John felt a sense of panic. He pulled his hands immediately off of Allison. It hit him like a sledgehammer. It was the neck port. It's what was missing. He knew it couldn't have healed so fast. The tether was only plugged in there a few hours ago. Was it even that long ago?
Allison moved and stood next to John.
"It's too early to feel anything on this one." Allison said. "It's in there though, thanks to you. I really want to have a baby. I'm proud to have it be your baby, John."
John was at a loss for words right now. He wasn't sure if he should address the fact on how he touched her earlier. Maybe he should apologize. It did worry him a little. He'd thought it was Cameron. He would never have touched Allison like that if he knew it was her.
"I'm glad I could help." John said with great difficulty.
John knew it was all Cameron's doing.
Vanna looked at them with some trepidation.
"Where's Cameron?" Vanna asked.
"I came to wait for her until you could arrive." Allison said. "Here we are."
There was some talking in the room Vanna just exited from.
"It sounds like she's back in there." Vanna said.
John wanted to refocus everyone. It sounded lame when he tried.
"I want to say you both look stunning." John said.
Vanna smiled at him.
"Thank you." Vanna said. "You look nice too."
Vanna went back into the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. She looked back at Allison as she did.
"Thank you, John." Allison said. "I need to go."
Allison smiled at him and gently touched his cheek. She turned to leave.
John wanted to explain what happened. It was an honest mistake.
"Allison…." John started.
Allison paused. She came back to John. She moved her lips close to his ear.
"It'll be our secret." Allison whispered.
Allison thought back on the time when they'd pulled the 'double play' on John which ended up as a 'triple play' later on. She'd covered for Cameron being damaged and John copped a feel because he thought she was Cameron. The thought still amused her. It seemed like the other day. It wasn't, it had been a few years back. She wanted to let John know everything was cool.
John felt her lips gently touch his cheek.
She smiled at him again and winked once as she followed after Vanna.
John looked in the direction for a few seconds and decided to retreat back to his suite. He was unsure what to say or do at this point. He'd thought it was Cameron. Allison didn't identify herself. He was sure no human could tell the difference. Then again Vanna knew.
His hand touched his cheek once he was back inside the Owner's Suite. He ran to the bathroom to make sure there wasn't any lipstick on his cheek. He remembered when he was busted the last time it happened. Cameron knew what happened. It was written all over her face. He would never forget the look on her face as he went up the stairs. He shouldn't have rubbed it in her face and smirked at her.
John was going to use a washcloth to make sure his cheek was clean. He looked at the white wash cloth and set it down for now. He figured Cameron would find it. He grabbed some toilet paper and wiped his cheek off. There was a hint of red. John threw the toilet paper in the toilet and flushed it. He took some more and cleaned the area better. He made sure it was all flushed down the toilet.
He was scared and thrilled by what happened at the same time. Allison felt exactly like Cameron's and Cam's sheath. He couldn't tell the difference. Right now she looked exactly like they did too. He needed to remember it was the whole point for creating a Terminator which looked like a specific human. It was so they could run an infiltration mission and replace the human with a seamless transition. He thought back to the incident with 'Vick' and Barbara Chamberlain. She knew something was different about 'Vick' after his accident. She didn't know what. She never knew right up until the point of her termination. 'Vick' was a Terminator.
He checked the time. It was still sixteen minutes until dinner.
Jim led Cameron back towards the Control Center. Before he went out to stop Cameron, he'd called Gail-Cam and asked if she could send Vanna into the Control Center. He wanted to have her there when he brought Cameron in. That way they'd be able to deal with the problem out of the way of anyone else.
When they reached the Control Center door Cameron didn't want to go there.
"I want to see Allison." Cameron said.
Jim wondered if he should have called for Allison instead of Vanna.
"Let's go into the Control Center and I can get her." Jim said.
He tried to get her to enter the Control Center again. It seemed to agitate her.
Cameron brushed him off and headed for the Master Suite.
"Allison is in the Master Suite." Cameron said.
Jim hurried after her.
Cameron entered the Master Suite.
There was no one there. They were all in the spare bedroom of the Master suite.
Cameron went there as Jim followed her. He still needed to make sure there was no problem. It was a toss up at this point.
Earlier:
Gail-Cam received the call from Jim asking her to send Vanna to the Control Center. She said she would. They hadn't finished working on her makeup yet.
Vanna heard one side of the call.
"What did Jim want?" Vanna asked.
It seemed pretty straight forward to Gail-Cam.
"He wants you to go to the Control Center and talk with Cameron." Gail-Cam said.
Holly didn't want an interruption. Not now anyway.
"We're not done with her makeup yet." Holly said. "I want to help make her perfect first. We'll be done very soon."
Allison was finished and just watching at this point. She was all ready. She headed for the Control Center.
"I'll go." Allison said as she left.
Vanna wondered what it was about.
"I'll be right there." Vanna called after her.
Vanna watched Allison from the 'rear view'. She looked hot and tight in her dress.
She couldn't help but think about the future. No one ever dressed up in the future. Few females even wore a dress. It would be only if they didn't have any other clothing to wear. She thought about the way Allison looked right now. Nobody looked like that in the future either. It was just so hard to contemplate and think about.
How could the future have been so messed up? What did Skynet think it actually accomplished? Was chaos and destruction viewed as victory? She needed to refocus. Her makeup was almost finished. She glanced back in the direction Allison went.
Vanna wasn't sure what she'd walked into when she'd entered the Control Center. John may have been touching Allison's baby in her belly. Why did it look like he was kissing her neck? She knew Allison looked like Cameron right now down to the last detail and identical jewelry. She wondered if Allison pulled a 'fast one' on John. She didn't think any human, other than herself, could tell Cameron from Allison at this point. Well, Savannah, Young Allison and Summer would be able to. They weren't there. She was.
Both Allison and her tried to 'be with' John many times in the past and over the years. It was what Cameron all but 'ordered' them to do. They tried. They also loved John too and wanted to do it for themselves. They both wanted to have a child if they could. They wanted traditional conceptions. They wanted it to be a loving matter. They later had to settle for artificial conceptions.
All of Vanna's attempts failed. She stopped trying. It was too painful to keep failing. Everyone one of those failures was a 'dead child' for all practical purposes. It's what it made her feel like. Jesse stopped trying too. Allison was the only one to keep trying. She wasn't really sure why. She knew Allison needed to feel the same way as Jesse and her felt. It wasn't a good feeling.
Vanna was a little surprised to learn Cameron stripped all the Metal girls of their virginity by taking control of their chassis. She was just as surprised when Cam agreed to do it as well. She didn't want Cam to do it but she could see Cam wanted to try it. From experience, she knew it was better if Cam had a choice, even if Cameron was the one who did it and shared the file in real time. Maybe they thought this was their only chance to have relations with John, even if Cameron was the one who really did it.
Cameron promised all of the Metal girls they could try it 'one time' on their own with John later on. Vanna doubted it would ever happen. She was pretty sure the Metal girls doubted it would happen as well. It was one of the reasons why they'd allow Cameron to do what she'd done.
She was unsure if Allison 'played' John, or just let him think she was Cameron. Maybe it was both. Cameron didn't say it outright, but she did indicate, she would like Allison or her to be with John on the trip at least one time. It looked like Allison made the first move. She would have to up her game. She wanted to be with John too and actually have a choice for once. She wanted to be the one to make the choice just once. Just one time would be good enough for her. Previously, every male who'd taken her was done against her will. She understood it was Savannah's place in the future to be at John's side with Young Allison.
Cameron already used Hanna's chassis so John already knew what she looked like and felt like. For all practical purposes he'd already been with 'her'.
Vanna decided to watch Allison and match her moves. She wondered if John was with Jesse or Claire when they were on board. Nobody mentioned it if they were. Maybe she would ask Hanna if Cameron was able to get Claire or Jesse into John's bed. She knew both of them would do it without hesitation. She was aware John's 'experience' with Jesse and Claire would be totally different. They each sought something different and each excelled on different things.
Allison caught up to her. She looked as guilty as Hell.
Cameron felt fine. She hoped Jim would stop following her. It wasn't like she was going to try and kill anyone.
Wait.
It was what he was worried about.
Cameron looked at Jim.
"I'm fine." Cameron said. "You can resume your duties."
Jim remained behind her until Holly and Gail-Cam heard them enter the Master Suite and came to see what was happening.
They both greeted Cameron and were soon joined by Vanna and Allison.
Cameron hugged Vanna when she arrived and then she hugged Allison. The main reason was to scan them.
Jim could see the glitch stopped and he continued through the room back toward the Control Center.
"I'm just checking to see what I'll need to make the rooms up." Jim said.
He looked back at Cameron and she slightly nodded. Sometimes it was nice to have help.
When Cameron scanned Allison she picked up readings that were all over the place. They were different from her normal scans. She was going to start questioning her. She didn't think it was the right place. They needed to head down to dinner in the next few minutes. Maybe Allison was excited about the way she looked and the atmosphere of the ship. She seemed very sexually aroused too.
"Let me get John and we can head down for dinner." Cameron said.
Vanna hoped to question Hanna about what Jesse and Claire may have done.
"Are Hanna and Sheila going to go with us?" Vanna asked.
Cameron went to check a while ago but never made it that far.
"I don't know." Cameron said.
Vanna wanted to know more so she knew how to play the evening.
"I can go check." Vanna said.
Gail-Cam was ready to leave.
"I'll go with her." Gail-Cam said.
Vanna didn't want her to go. She wanted to ask some personal questions.
"I'm good." Vanna said. "I'll be right back."
Vanna made her exit.
Cameron didn't want Jim to question her further. She decided to take Allison, Holly and Gail-Cam through the Control Center and enter her room that way as the three of them tagged along.
John was surprised as the door from the Control Center opened. Cameron walked out. Maybe it was Allison. He couldn't tell. There was no hint of a smile on her face. Maybe it was Cameron. He saw Allison walk in behind her. There was a smile on her face. Holly and Gail-Cam followed them.
John wasn't sure what was said by anyone at this point. He was sure not going to ask.
Allison looked around the Owner's Suite. It was nearly identical to her suite, the Master Suite.
"So this is the fancy room." Allison said.
A room was a room to Cameron. Some were bigger and some were smaller.
"It's a room." Cameron said. "John can show you around."
John wondered what he was supposed to show her. They came out of the spare room. They were in the living room. It left the bathroom, dressing room and bedroom. What else was there? He quickly understood Cameron wanted them in the bedroom. It was almost time for dinner. He knew nothing would happen.
"We'll meet you in the private area." Cameron said.
Cameron led Gail-Cam out of the suite. Holly lingered behind. Cameron allowed her to.
John quickly showed Allison the layout. He walked away. He thought they would follow him. He knew it was time to go.
Allison looked at the bed. Holly was near her.
"Is this where you got popped?" Allison asked.
Holly tilted her head slightly.
"I don't think I ever had anything to pop. You know we've done many things down there before. It would have ruptured long ago." Holly said. "This bed is where Cameron used my chassis. It was beautiful."
Allison moved close to Holly.
"Did my mother do it with John?" Allison whispered.
Holly was caught off guard.
"No." Holly whispered. "I don't think so."
Allison looked to see where John was.
"Did Jesse?" Allison whispered.
Holly wasn't there every second of the day.
"No." Holly whispered. "I don't think so."
Allison looked back towards John again.
"Would you mind if I try it once with John?" Allison whispered.
Holly knew Cameron wouldn't be in control of Allison if she did. It would be John's first exposure to a human female in many years.
Holly hoped Allison could experience what Cameron experienced and shared with her. It was beautiful.
"You're free to do as you choose." Holly whispered. "I really mean it."
Allison wanted to be with John before her mother was. She knew everyone thought her mother was a better lover and better in bed. She didn't want John to think of her as 'not good enough'.
"I want to try it one time." Allison whispered.
Holly looked evenly at Allison.
"I do as well." Holly whispered.
Allison needed to remember Holly hadn't actually done it herself yet.
"I want to feel the love you felt through Cameron." Allison whispered.
Allison hoped to be with John before Holly now too. She thought everyone was better in bed than her. She wanted to be the first if possible. She was pretty sure once Vanna saw what she was trying to do; she would make a move as well. Vanna was more skilled than her because she didn't have a choice. She'd needed to please dozens of men growing up with whatever they wanted. The price of refusal was harder beatings, disfigurement or death. Vanna did as they demanded. She still had all of her teeth. It was the point where most girls lost a few when they resisted. A fist in the mouth was motivation to do as they were told. A gun to the side of the head was even greater motivation.
Holly wasn't pleased with Allison's revelation. She was sure part of it was motivated by the fact Cameron already used her chassis. She really believed it should be up to the two individuals involved as to what they wanted to do or didn't want to do.
John came back to find them.
"We need to head down to dinner." John said. "Cameron has everyone ready."
Holly and Allison both looked at the bed as they left.
John noticed but didn't say anything. He was very pleased at what Cameron had done.
Robyn led the group to the furthest extent of the residential horse trail. They turned west once the horse trail along the wash ended. The wash itself turned into dirt a quarter of a mile ahead anyway. They were at the base of the foothills. There was a silted up dam in the way too. It was part of the old Twin Lakes area. It was only now recently being developed. The original development plan from a hundred years ago never really took off.
"We can turn north and go under the freeway and into the foothills or continue west through the hills between here and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. We will be in an old movie filming location if we go that way." Robyn said.
Savannah remembered the news reports about some of the brush fires. Whenever there was one reported, they always reported about some of the past events and the things lost.
"Are there any sets left?" Savannah asked. "I think they've all been burnt out."
Robyn thought back with some sadness. She remembered some things were still left when she was a girl. She grew up around the area. She remembered when the Spahn Movie Ranch was destroyed. It was where the Manson family had taken up residence a few years before their murder spree and subsequent arrest.
At the time of that fire, on the street she lived on, every house with a wooden shake roof burnt to the ground. Only the ones with a Spanish tile roof survived. It was really strange for a few years to see the empty lots until houses were slowly rebuilt one by one. Most of the families never returned. Wildfires were never friendly to the foothills.
"Both further to the west and the north were more movie ranches. Almost everything is gone." Robyn said. "Fires did claim most everything over the years. Vandals took care of the rest."
Young Allison dropped back with Anna.
"When we go to the past, I want to come here when the movie ranches are still here." Young Allison said. "I want to see the 'stars' and the filming."
Anna wondered if Cameron or Young Allison would be 'discovered' by any movie producers. She decided not to mention Schwab's near Hollywood in that time period.
"I think we can work it in." Anna said. "Most of the films and TV shows were shot before the time we will be in. The area will already be in decline."
Savannah wanted to play it safe or at least less risky.
"Let's take the trail least likely to encounter any snakes." Savannah said.
Savannah looked back and the Detail used their SUV as well as their own SUV to shadow them. Help would be close if they needed it.
"Follow me." Robyn said.
The female Fanatic approached the stake side truck. She was glad to see the nude female was still lying in the seat. She opened the driver's door and climbed inside. She tossed the clothes on the floor. She hoped to find a more secluded place to change. She looked around and started the truck. She drove away.
She decided to return back to the area where the target building was located. She pulled in between two buildings. She didn't see anyone around. She quickly changed her clothes. She also put on a pair of pants and a top for the naked female. She didn't look at anything in detail. From what she could see, she'd been heavily abused. It sickened her somewhat to think about it. If she turned out to be from another group of Grays or the anti-Metal faction, she would need to kill her. She didn't like the abuse she'd suffered regardless of what group she belonged to.
She proceeded to look in a toolbox located on the side of the truck. There was a jack and a tire iron contained within there. There were also three road flares in a triangular shaped reflective marker.
She took out the tire iron and closed the tool box door. She climbed up into the back of the stake side truck. She moved to the crate and stuck the tire iron under the lid. She pried up one corner. She slid the tire down to the middle of the crate and pried up. She moved it to the next corner and pried up. She stuck it on the side and pried it up. She moved back to the other side and did the same thing. She was able to pry the lid off.
There was the sound of an explosion in the distance. She automatically looked in the direction. It was the direction of the building.
"What the hell?" The female Fanatic asked.
It was clear the explosion was from the target building. She could see a little smoke in it's direction. She wondered if they were under attack. Maybe the group who'd arrived in the truck was trigger happy. They'd certainly been trigger happy inside of the building she'd been in earlier. She didn't think she'd ever seen such sloppy control by any other group from the future she'd dealt with. She'd been fortunate in all of those encounters. She'd survived.
The crate seemed to contain nothing but electrical components. She didn't know what any of them were. She didn't think any of them could help her detonate the liquid in the two fifty-five gallon drums. She had the three road flares. She knew they wouldn't be able to burn through the steel. She would need to puncture the steel of the drums. She touched the Beretta in her waistband. She knew one way to do it. It wouldn't be her first choice but it should be able to work.
She went back to the toolbox and took the three road flares out. She needed to get closer to the building to see what was going on. She needed to be mindful of any other vehicles in the area. There could be another group who attacked them as well.
The satellite map on the phone she held in her hand, showed her the layout of the area. She'd viewed it earlier. A little refresher course wouldn't hurt anything. She studied it a little further to see where she could get closer without being spotted with the stake side truck. She didn't want to get too far away from it. She didn't want to lose the two drums of flammable liquid.
The female Fanatic gave the other female a couple of jabs on her side. They weren't very hard, it was just to see if it could help her come around. It didn't seem to do much. She drove out and did a little backtracking. She would approach the location from the rear without going onto the street it was located on. She needed to find out more about what was going on at the building.
The sun was low on the western horizon. It would be sunset in a short time.
Earlier:
CamNet's two Terminators were on their way back to the location. The hostile Terminator was about to enter the building. There was a Gray in the bobtail truck who'd backed away from the building. The female Fanatic was parked several blocks away between two buildings. She'd opened the crate when the bomb went off at the doorway and killed two of the Grays. She was on her way to the location now. No doubt she wanted to see what happened.
The first Terminator watched the drone over the building.
"I believe the Terminator is about to make entry." The first Terminator said.
The second Terminator viewed the surveillance camera they set up inside of the building.
"If he gets anywhere close to the bomb we left inside, it will be detonated." The second Terminator said.
The first Terminator still wanted to know what was in the back of the bobtail truck.
"We will still need to intercept the truck." The first Terminator said. "The crate in the back of the stake side truck seemed to contain electrical components."
The second Terminator knew it would call for further investigation.
"If there are any power cells in there, the female Fanatic could construct a number of very powerful bombs." The second Terminator said.
The first Terminator didn't know what was in the crate.
"We'll find out when we commandeer it." The first Terminator said.
They watched as the hostile Terminator climbed back up the roof access ladder. It was clear he was going to make entry as they'd suspected he originally would. It was the least likely way of tripping another booby trap.
They watched him move to the farthest skylight from the rear of the building. He went to the furthest corner away from where the original bomb blast was. He pried the window frame loose and tossed it on the roof. He grabbed the piece of glass and let it fall flat onto the roof. It didn't shatter. It must be some type of heavy duty tempered material. It could be one reason why he didn't attempt to break it. It was possible he might have suffered some sheath damage.
They watched as he disappeared inside. The surveillance camera they'd left, didn't pick him up at first.
"He must have gone to check the front of the building." The second Terminator said.
The first Terminator knew what would happen.
"He will more than likely find the booby trap we left. It was intended for someone to trigger who entered from the outside coming into the building." The first Terminator said.
The second Terminator new the command detonated bomb was in danger of being located. It would depend upon the direction the Terminator approached it from.
"We don't know what he's going to do." The second Terminator said. "He will do as thorough of a search as we did."
CamNet's two Terminators watched the female Fanatic approach the street behind the target location and park directly in front of the building behind the target building. They didn't know if she would attempt to make entry into the building or not. They doubted it. They figured she would move directly to the rear of the property and look over the fence.
The female Fanatic turned onto the street directly behind the target location. She didn't see any other vehicles. She hadn't heard any more explosions or gunfire. She really wondered what was going on.
She made her way along the side of the building. She paused for a moment at the door there. She turned the handle. The door was open. She figured vandals or the homeless must have broken in at some point. She really didn't want to deal with them right now. If she was confronted by any of them, she would shoot them. If she did, it would give away her position. Her best course of action was to avoid them for now.
She reached the rear fence.
"Damn." The female said.
The rear fence was taller than she was. It seemed to be the case at about two thirds of the locations she'd visited. She looked around for something to help her.
There were several old tires at the rear of the property. There were no wheels with them, they were just the tires. She rolled one up to the fence and laid it on its side. She carefully stepped on it to make sure the sidewall wouldn't collapse under her weight. It didn't.
She poked her eyes over the top of the rear wall. The box truck she'd followed earlier was only about fifteen feet away from the wall. She quickly lowered her head down. She hadn't expected to find it so close. She'd also spotted another car parked close to the building.
She got off the tire and rolled it over to the left side about fifteen feet. She laid it down and climbed up on it again. She moved her eyes over the wall. She was directly in back of the truck now. She didn't think she could be spotted as easily from the side view mirrors. She couldn't see the one on the driver's side at all and could barely see the one on the passenger side. She moved her position on the tire slightly to the side a little bit more. She couldn't see either one right now. If she couldn't see the mirrors, they couldn't see her. She hoped she hadn't been spotted earlier. So far no doors had been opened. She didn't even know if there was anyone inside of it. She touched the Beretta in her waistband. She was ready just in case.
She didn't think it would be a problem to slip over the rear wall. She could move up directly behind the bobtail truck. She still needed to worry if someone was in it. She wasn't sure why they would have parked it where they did unless it was because of the explosion.
She bent down and got off the tire. She was going to reposition it so she could easily climb over the rear wall and approached the bobtail truck.
There was a massive explosion. It shook the area around her. A second later, there was even a more massive explosion. Debris began to rain down around her. She was glad she hadn't been looking over the fence. She probably would have picked up some shrapnel. Things were still landing around her.
The female Fanatic was pretty sure she wasn't going to be able to use her makeshift bomb on the building. She still had additional targets. The question remained as to who attacked the building and what the two large explosions were, especially the second one.
Moments ago:
CamNet's two Terminators were nearly at the location where everything was about to occur. They watched the drone footage as the female Fanatic made her way to the rear of the property. They decided to act. They wanted to know what was in the crate. They also wanted to look at the female who was still in the cab. They wanted to know if she was a Fanatic or not. They weren't sure why the female Fanatic still had her. She could have dumped her by the road side on multiple occasions.
They monitored the Terminator inside of the building and the female Fanatic at the rear of the property behind the building he was in.
They pulled up alongside the stake side truck. The first Terminator moved into the truck cab to check on the female. The first thing she checked was her mouth. There was no poison tooth located. She was still alive and her vital signs were moderate.
The second Terminator immediately climbed into the back of the stake side truck. She looked at the two drums of chemicals and calculated their explosive capability. It would be substantial. It would be much more volatile than the gasoline she'd previously used. The top was still on the crate. It hadn't been pounded back down. She quickly took it off. She looked at the electrical components inside. They were parts which could be used for HK drones and HK Tracks. They were just electrical parts. None of them were specialized yet. They'd probably been acquired and taken to the location for modification.
They followed the progress of the Terminator inside of the building.
The first Terminator could see things were about to become critical.
"He's going to approach the bomb in twenty seconds." The first Terminator said.
The second Terminator knew CamNet would need to trigger it.
"We need to get moving." The second Terminator said.
CamNet sent them some additional instructions.
The two Terminators looked at each other. They immediately acted. They were instructed to take the female with them. It wasn't their choice. They would just as soon leave her.
"Let's grab her and go." The first Terminator said.
The first Terminator pulled her out through the driver's side. The second Terminator already had the rear door open on the SUV. They placed her inside of it. They got into their SUV and drove away.
They watched as the Terminator approach the bomb inside of the building. It appeared CamNet waited as long as possible to allow them to put some distance between themselves and the building.
CamNet's Terminators were halfway down the back street when the first explosion occurred. They stayed on the accelerator. When the Terminators power cell exploded, they were a little further away. Even at their distance, debris began to land around them.
Made Her Move
Who is the one in control
Is there really any restraint
Everyone who was involved
Their reputation it taints
All stand back and watch
As if it's something spectacular
Is it really no big deal
Since it's in everyone's vernacular
It all comes down to
No one really cares
Maybe it's because
No one ever dares
Everyone has their own views
It's all a matter of perspective
Opinion is just that
It's all rather subjective
It doesn't seem to matter much
If someone would approve or disapprove
All one could do was watch
As she made her move
Nobody
