Chapter 1366
Indecent Exposure
John joined Vanna and Allison in the buffet line.
They were pleased to see him.
"What would you like?" Allison asked John.
John was good with whatever they selected. He liked the variety of food everyday. He was used to the different choices that were available. He also liked the variety of chassis Cameron cycled through his bed. He looked at Vanna and then Allison.
"I'll let you and Vanna pick for me." John said. "I'm willing to try a little of everything."
Vanna wanted to point out he already had. He'd been with Cameron in all of the Metal girl's chassis. He now knew every detail on her and Savannah from Hanna's chassis. Nothing would be a mystery to him.
"I think you've gotten off to a good start in your bedroom." Vanna said.
John didn't want to discuss it. Well, maybe a little. It was clear everyone knew what happened.
"Did Cam or Holly say something?" John asked.
Allison and Vanna put a little of many of the food selections on their plates as they moved along.
John's plate was still empty.
Allison knew Holly was thrilled with what happened and even the way it happened. She wasn't. Holly actually believed it was better to have Cameron do it for her. She thought it was worth mentioning.
"Holly loved it and wants Cameron to do it again." Allison said.
Vanna was aware Cam felt the same way. She felt there was an underlying factor. She wanted to throw it out there. She wanted to see how John responded.
"Cam said the same thing." Vanna said. "You must be dynamite in bed."
John wasn't so sure if he was dynamite or not. He'd learned over the years what Cameron liked. He did the same thing with her in all of the different chassis. He was ready to let Vanna find out.
"There's only one way to know." John said. "I'm a good listener too."
Vanna and John shared a long silent look. In their shared moment, they both knew it was going to happen later on at some point. It's what they both wanted and what Cameron wanted for them as well. It was a win-win for everyone in reality.
An older couple moved around them. They thought they were taking too long. They frowned as they passed them.
Vanna had her own personal reasons and desires. She also needed to consider something else she felt was very important. She wasn't out to cause trouble or grief for anyone.
"I'd like to find out, at least one time anyway. I want to be the one who chooses for once." Vanna said. "I just don't want to hurt Cameron."
Allison was game as well. It was based on how much Holly wanted to do it again. Well, to have Cameron do it for her again actually. She knew in her case, she would be the one in control.
"I do too." Allison said. "I don't think one time would hurt anything. I don't want to hurt Cameron either. It's always been our concern."
Allison couldn't help but think back to when they thought Cameron was dead. Well, in her case, terminated. They'd waited a long time before they actually attempted to do what Cameron begged them to do in her absence or demise. They only tried to do what Cameron made them promise to do.
Vanna was worried they were getting sidetracked. She looked at John's empty plate.
"Aren't you going to get anything?" Vanna asked. "Your plate is empty."
John looked over across the aisle at the fruit and dessert section.
"I was saving it for some dessert." John said.
Allison looked at Vanna and winked.
"I think you've already experienced a lot of dessert." Allison said.
John decided to push it a little. He looked at Vanna and Allison.
"I've tried the snacks." John said. "I'm ready for the real dessert."
Vanna and Allison looked at each other.
"I think I need to go back to my suite." Vanna said.
Allison wondered why.
"I thought you wanted to go to the main dining room for the fancy sit down lunch." Allison said.
Vanna wanted to make her answer as suggestive and playful as possible. It may have been a little too descriptive.
"I do." Vanna said. "This conversation is getting me wound up some. I think I need to ring my bell first."
Allison thought it sounded right up her alley.
"I can go with you." Allison said.
Vanna looked at Allison and then smiled at John.
"I actually hoped John would." Vanna said. "I'd like him to ring my bell a few times."
The old couple, who had cut in front of them earlier, looked back at them.
"Get a room." The older woman said.
Allison didn't like the rudeness.
"I already have one I share with my lovers." Allison said. "I have a lot of them too."
The old couple looked offended.
"Young people, what do they know?" The older woman asked.
Vanna was going to add her 'two cents' in.
The older man moved the older woman away. It was clear he didn't want the situation to escalate. More than likely, she was known for sharing her unwanted opinion with others.
The older couple left the line before Vanna could respond.
It looked like Vanna was going to go after them to get her say in.
John didn't want any trouble or attention. He was sure if Cameron saw the girls were offended, she would intercede. He wasn't so worried about what would happen right now. It worried him more about what would happen later on. He knew the ocean was deep. He wanted to try to moderate the situation. He would try a subtle approach first. He touched Vanna's arm.
"Let it go." John said. "I want us all to have a good time."
Vanna paused. She looked at John and then smiled. She wanted to reaffirm her earlier position.
"Sure, John, I'll do anything for you." Vanna said. "I mean anything."
John didn't want things to get away from him.
They finished the 'line' of hot food items.
John was ready to put a few things on his plate for everyone.
"I think it is time to pick a few desserts." John said.
Vanna winked at Allison.
"I thought you just did." Vanna said.
John saw the wink.
"I mean edible desserts." John said.
Allison wanted to make her position clear.
"We are." Allison said. "I can assure you, the 'dessert' is very edible."
John couldn't help but think of what the 'dessert' would be like. He headed for the desserts located in the buffet.
"What do you want?" John asked them.
Vanna noticed there were some donuts.
"I'll take a 'Long John'." Vanna said.
John looked at her.
Vanna didn't want to push him too far. She pointed her finger at some long rectangular donuts.
John wondered if he should have been a little more attentive.
"Oh." John said.
Vanna couldn't resist one more jab.
"What did you think I was talking about?" Vanna asked.
John was about to answer when Allison chimed in.
"I'll take one with cream filling." Allison said.
Vanna tried to suppress a laugh. It still slipped out.
John looked at both of them and picked up the items they pointed out.
They selected a few desserts to share and headed for the table where Cameron waited for them.
Cameron heard most of the conversation they'd shared, but not all of it. There was a lot of background noise.
They shared some small talk at the table but no further mention was made about any sexual activity.
Cameron tried a little taste of each dessert.
They laughed and joked a little about the food and where they were headed next. It was the main dining room.
Cameron watched where the older couple went who'd been rude to the girls in line. It was the second older couple who'd bothered her on the cruise so far. She was in contact with Jim as to what was happening with Mary and Laura and the Metal girls at the secluded front pool.
They would be done in the buffet soon. She wanted to go with them to the main dining room for the fancy lunch. She hoped she didn't need to troubleshoot anywhere else. Maybe she should let Bob handle it and she could stay with John and the girls.
It seemed both Vanna and Allison were 'ripe for harvesting'. It pleased her. She thought John could provide them with some 'sausage'. She wanted John protected. The anti-Metal faction was out there. Her primary function was to make sure John was protected.
It still troubled her greatly to know with her at John's side, she diminished his protection. She actually endangered him with the anti-Metal faction. She really thought it was a shame some people couldn't see the bridge between humans and machines. She believed the interaction between the machines and the humans of the Resistance in the past, the present, should be seen as something beautiful by everyone.
She'd recently viewed a report on TV about what the media termed as a 'mass shooting'. The media blamed the type of firearm as the culprit. The firearm was a machine. It needed to be operated by someone. In this case, it was a human. A few days later, a vehicle plowed through a group of people in a parade. It was an intentional act. She didn't hear one person in the media blame the type of vehicle for the incident. She didn't see a difference between the misuse of two different types of machines which both killed people needlessly. In both cases, there was a human involved behind the operation of each machine.
She felt everyone missed the point. It was impossible to legislate human behavior. If people wanted to kill, they were going to kill. A few years back, a terrorist used a big rig in France to mow down a crowd of people. Over eighty of them were killed in the incident. Again, it was the misuse of a machine, operated by a human. More people died from the vehicle attack, than in any mass shooting on record. Once again, she never heard the media call for a ban on big rigs. Then there was the fertilizer bomb in a Midwestern state. Where was the call for the ban on fertilizer? It never happened. The attack was also carried out by a human. It seemed to her humans could be very destructive. They could also be very cruel.
Cameron pushed the thoughts from her mind. She didn't want them to spoil her honeymoon. She looked at Vanna and Allison and then at John. She was determined to make sure he had the best honeymoon ever. She was steadfast to get the girls into John's bed before the cruise was over. She would make it happen, even if she needed to use herself as bait. She didn't see any reason why she couldn't expand her sexual horizons either. It was her honeymoon as well. It should be the best ever for her too.
Mary and Laura went to the nude sunbathing area again. They looked inside but there were only several older men there. They all moved their towels off of themselves.
Laura was disgusted with what she'd witnessed.
"Gross." Laura said.
Mary could see the girls were gone.
"Let's get away from here." Mary said. "They're not here anymore."
Laura couldn't blame them one bit.
"No wonder the girls split." Laura said.
They exited the nude sunbathing area.
Mary had her mind set on a specific goal.
"I still want to find Sue." Mary said.
Laura knew where 'Sue' wasn't.
"She wasn't at the buffet. We were just there." Laura said. "We saw three of them there."
Mary was equally excited about the girls who'd been with her earlier.
"She should be with her two 'stacked' friends then." Mary said.
Laura couldn't help but feel a little inadequate.
"How are we going to compete with them?" Laura said. "They were all very pretty. We can't match them for looks."
Mary believed they still had a good chance. She saw the way 'Sue' looked at her before.
"We can try and offer her what she really wants then. It's US." Mary said.
Laura agreed with her. She could see the hungry eyes on 'Sue' when she looked at them before, pierced them, and every time she'd inspected their piercings.
"I'm in." Laura said.
Mary and Laura looked down on the pool deck below them. They didn't spot the Hot girls.
"I don't see them down there." Mary said.
There was a worker who picked up towels and straightened the chairs. They asked the worker if he'd seen three beautiful girls in bikinis pass by. The worker looked down at the pool and pointed. He said there were a lot of them down there.
It was no help. They thought they would need to get a little more specific.
Laura indicated very large breasts on two of them, with an Asian girl. He said he saw them go towards the front, but there were six of them, not just three of them. He told them two of them were twins and a redhead was with them. He said they left about five minutes ago.
Laura and Mary looked at each other. They'd just seen half of the group in the buffet a few minutes ago.
Mary wanted to know a little more.
"What's up front?" Mary asked.
The worker could only speculate where they would end up. He told them what he knew was towards the front.
"There is another pool, the spa and the gym." The worker said. "There's no way to know where they went. They could have also taken the elevator back to their cabin."
Laura looked towards the front of the ship. She looked back towards where the buffet was at.
"Those three we saw must have had their regular clothes with them." Laura said.
Mary knew it wouldn't take long to throw some clothes over a bikini.
"Maybe they all do and we won't find them." Mary said.
The deck attendant clearly knew who they were talking about. He'd only been confused by the number they'd given him originally. He wanted them to make sure of what he witnessed.
"They were all wearing bikinis." The worker said as he pointed toward the front of the ship. "They went that way. There were six of them. They were almost naked."
They thanked him and took off.
"Now I want to find out more." Laura said.
Mary tried to put the facts together. No matter how many times she tried, they just didn't add up. She wanted to know more.
"There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding Sue." Mary said. "Now I want her even more."
They headed for the front.
Mary didn't know what she was getting into.
Sheila attempted to provoke some type of reaction with the showgirls. She was already topless in front of them.
Ally moved up and did what Sheila asked her to do earlier. She pulled on the string of her bottoms and they dropped off. Sheila was now naked in front of the showgirls. She didn't push her in the water though.
There were some instant whispers between the showgirls as they noticed all of Sheila's jewelry.
"It's quite impressive." The lead singer said. "You're very attractive."
Sheila smiled at her. She felt she was more than attractive. She believed she was a 'chick magnet'.
"Thanks. Maybe you girls would like to get comfortable too and lose those bikinis." Sheila said. "It's how we do it 'down under'."
The lead singer looked at the other Metal girls.
"Are you all from Australia?" The lead singer asked. "You're all very beautiful."
Sheila glanced back at the other Metal girls. They were actually from a couple different futures.
"We're from several places." Sheila said. "Maybe we can party."
Ally didn't want Sheila to get carried away.
"These girls might have other preferences." Ally whispered.
Sheila felt she had a cure for any 'problems'.
"We can get them straightened out then. We can show them a better path." Sheila whispered back.
The lead singer looked at the other showgirls.
"We're under contract with the ship and we have some restraints on our interaction with the passengers. It is a little more lax with other crew members 'associating' with each other." The lead singer said. "It's the company policy, not ours."
It was all Sheila needed to hear.
"I'm a cr…." Sheila started.
Ally knew Sheila was about to say she was a member of the crew. She didn't feel it was the right answer in this situation.
"She's a great admirer of your performances." Ally said quickly.
Sheila didn't like the interruption.
The gate to the secluded pool area opened.
All the heads turned in the direction of the gate. A large imposing figure stood there.
It was Bob. He didn't look very pleased.
"What's going on here?" Bob asked.
The lead singer didn't want to create any problems for anyone.
"Nothing…." The lead singer said.
Bob looked at Sheila.
"What happened to your clothes?" Bob asked.
Sheila wondered what it was about. She wanted to make her excuse sound ridiculous.
"They came off when I fell in the pool." Sheila said. "I hung them up to dry. I didn't want my swimwear to get wet."
Sheila pointed to her top on the back of a lounge chair. Her bottoms were still on the ground. Neither of them was wet. She wasn't either.
Bob glanced over at the showgirls.
"Indecent exposure isn't allowed in public areas." Bob said.
The showgirls picked their towels and looked like they were going to leave.
Gail-Cam didn't want to cause any problems. She knew they were the intruders.
"We were just passing through to go to the spa." Gail-Cam said. "It won't happen again."
Hanna didn't want Sheila to get in trouble. She picked up Sheila's bottoms and handed them to her.
"We only stopped for a few seconds." Hanna said. "We didn't mean to cause any problems. Accidents happen. We'll move on. We don't want to bother the hardworking girls. They deserve all the rest they can get."
Bob held the door open for the Metal girls to leave. They all filed out except Sheila. She still held her top in her left hand. She touched one of her nipple rings with the other hand and rotated it back and forth a little.
"I can fix any of you beautiful girls up with a set of rings, in either location, free of charge." Sheila said. "I'm a professional piercer. It will enhance and magnify your beauty."
The showgirls all looked at each other. Was this some elaborate sales pitch? It was certainly the wildest and most absurd 'come on' any of them ever heard before. They'd all heard a lot of them over the years.
Sheila finally walked out and Bob closed the door behind her. He turned and faced the showgirls.
"I'm sorry for the interruption." Bob said. "It won't happen again."
The lead singer was intrigued by them. She didn't want there to be any repercussions.
"There's no problem." The lead singer said. "They were all very nice. They were just passing through."
The showgirls still held their towels. They all wondered who the Metal girls were. They thought they looked like actresses or celebrities.
"Who are they?" One of the show girls asked. "I feel like I know them from someplace."
Bob didn't want to get into details.
"They have a common look." Bob said.
The showgirls liked what they saw and what Sheila offered. It was very intriguing. It wasn't just the jewelry either.
"Maybe they're professional models." Another showgirl said. "You don't see looks like they have everyday. They sure aren't porn stars."
Bob decided to get out of there before they started to ask more questions.
"You ladies relax and have a good time." Bob said. "I know you all work hard and need a break every now and then. Your performance is magnificent. You should all be proud all of your hard work."
Bob left.
The showgirls were a little baffled by the entire encounter.
"What just happened here?" Another showgirl asked.
The lead singer thought about everything a little more. The conclusion she came to bothered her significantly.
"I'm not really sure." The lead singer said. "I hope it's not a group looking to take our jobs."
An upcoming showgirl couldn't resist a jab at the lead singer.
"You can always go back to making adult movies." Another showgirl said.
The lead singer snapped at the mouthy showgirl.
"I never did those." The lead singer said defensively. "It was just some minor film work. I've already told you five times."
Some of the girls were worried they could lose their jobs if the other group was superior.
"Maybe we should go practice some more." A third showgirl said.
The lead singer was more than a little worried now. She knew there were worse jobs to have.
"They do want us to make an additional performance of the show." The lead singer said. "Maybe we should or those girls will have our jobs if we don't deliver."
One of the other showgirls who hoped to move up in the ranks, wanted to get her jab in as well.
"I think you've 'delivered' plenty in your old job." Another showgirl said.
The lead singer was even more irritated now.
"I told you. It wasn't me." The lead singer said. "It was someone who looked like me. I have a common look."
The showgirls all seemed to be in a huff now. They weren't upset at the Metal girls. They were upset at each other now.
Summer joined Claire and Sarah and they got everything ready for lunch. Jan took off to round up everyone so they could share the meal together.
Kyle was the first one she found. He was actually on his way back to the commissary.
She went to Riley's room and listened. She heard Jesse and Samantha talking in the nursery. She knocked on the door.
Samantha looked at Jesse when the knock came.
"It's Jan." Samantha said. "I recognize her footsteps."
Jesse handed Precious to Samantha.
Her top was still open as she headed for the door and opened it.
Jan was a little surprised to see Jesse with her top open right in front of her.
"Oops." Jesse said and closed her top. "I was nursing Precious."
Jesse tried not to smile at Jan's reaction. She hoped it wouldn't be viewed as indecent exposure.
Jan liked the close up view.
"I just came by to tell you lunch would be ready soon." Jan said.
Jesse glanced past the connecting door from the nursery to Riley's quarters.
"Do you want to tell Riley and Derek?" Jesse asked.
Jan wondered if she was being set up. She didn't know what they were doing.
"Maybe Samantha can do it." Jan said. "Summer wants Samantha to come too."
Samantha was about to say she didn't eat. She understood it was more about inclusion and sharing, than it was about just eating. She actually appreciated it. She could sense things changed around the base since Claire and Summer arrived.
"Thank you." Samantha said. "I can tend to Precious while the others eat."
Jan still waited for a few seconds before she took off.
Samantha looked at the door to Riley's room.
"They finished up a few minutes ago." Samantha said.
Jesse figured she needed to use a little discretion.
"I'll let you tell them." Jesse said.
Samantha thought it was a good idea. She could also tend to Precious so everyone else could get ready faster.
"I will. I'll bring Precious." Samantha said.
Jesse thought about giving Samantha a quick kiss but decided not to. She excused herself and left.
Samantha looked at the closed door and thought it was safe to enter. She needed to get the stroller and the 'go bag'. She could hear the shower running now so it seemed safe to go in.
She entered the room and went to get the stroller. Precious let out a little whimper, she hadn't been burped. She quickly took care of it.
Riley came into the doorway of her room, she was naked.
She made no attempt to cover herself.
"I thought I heard Precious." Riley said.
Samantha took in Riley's naked form. She thought it was beautiful.
"I have it." Samantha said. "I just came to get the stroller to take her to the commissary. Lunch will be ready soon. Can you inform Derek?"
Riley came over to look at Precious.
"I will." Riley said after a short time.
She went to leave. She paused and faced Samantha for a few seconds before she turned and walked away.
Samantha received the message. Riley wanted more. She did as well.
Savannah didn't see any need to hurry to the tech company. It wasn't going anywhere. Tom asked for her evaluation about the situation. He didn't want to use the normal method. She knew 'Terminator style' was go in the front door. She was pleased he thought about it some and asked for her.
Cammy didn't want Savannah in danger.
"I think we can just do our assignment." Cammy said. "The boys can take care of themselves. They already know to use additional caution."
Savannah didn't like Cammy to hold back.
"Cut the crap, Cammy." Savannah said. "We're going there now. Do you want me to drive there alone?"
Cammy frowned a little. She didn't like Savannah being so forceful.
"I can drive." Cammy said. "I was just thinking about you."
Savannah reached over and touched Cammy's cheek with the back of her fingers.
"I know and appreciate it." Savannah said. "You know the team comes first."
Cammy did know it. They'd encountered further future technology on at least two occasions.
"I'm very worried about all the action you've seen so far this week and it's barely half over." Cammy said.
Savannah reflected on all the events of the last few days. They were pretty extreme. The different nature of the threats bothered her as well.
"It's the portal I'm worried about." Savannah said. "Everything else was a standard Gray, or even a Fanatic, operation. The portal was something else."
Cammy believed the 'energy ball' was related.
"Your report on the place last night sounds like it may have been connected." Cammy said. "It's all future technology. It's a shame we couldn't question anyone."
Savannah didn't like where the conversation was going.
"I told you, the abused female was dead." Savannah said. "This isn't the place or time to talk about what's over and done with."
Cammy continued the drive in silence.
Young Allison followed the two operations as they developed. Anna and her had their phones out along with her tablet.
"There's something going on here." Young Allison said.
Anna wasn't sure what she meant since there was always something going on. There wasn't any pending combat. Not yet anyway.
"Everything is a recon." Anna said. "It seems pretty standard."
Young Allison didn't think so.
"How often does Savannah need to enter a potential Skynet related facility?" Young Allison asked.
Anna knew such operations were limited. Cameron usually took care of those follow-ups herself.
"Cameron is on her honeymoon." Anna said. "Savannah is filling in for her."
Young Allison wasn't sure about the request by Tom for Savannah to go to where he was with Steve. It seemed highly odd to her.
"Do you think Tom really wants Savannah to check out the operation he's on? Maybe he's trying to keep her from going into the other building with Cammy at the tech firm." Young Allison said. "None of it's standard procedure."
Anna received no further updates from John Henry or CamNet.
"I don't know." Anna said. "Maybe it is just what it seems it is."
Young Allison wasn't so sure. After the place last night, it seemed anything could happen. She wanted to hedge their bet and ensure there was maximum support available for Savannah and the other teams.
"Make sure there are plenty of drones available at altitude." Young Allison said.
Anna checked.
"Everything will be covered." Anna said.
Anna could tell Young Allison wanted to go back to assist Savannah. They exchanged glances.
"I know what you're thinking." Young Allison said.
Anna felt she needed to point something out.
"I know what you're thinking." Anna said. "You made a promise."
Young Allison needed to make the promise or Savannah wouldn't have left her. It would have disrupted all of the operations. She didn't want to be the one to cause a problem needlessly.
"I intend to keep it." Young Allison said.
Anna wasn't so sure about it. She could tell Young Allison was looking for a 'work around' the problem.
Brian, Randy and Mel made up the Detail. They were in the SUV with them and didn't say anything. They weren't really sure where they were going to end up. It seemed doubtful they were all going back to Palmdale.
Al and Ed were the backup team for Steve and Tom. They'd worked their way around to the back of the building they were going to check out. They received a notification from John Henry to not close in on the building at this time. It was followed up by another notification directly from CamNet to backtrack and change their position.
They were unsure as to what was happening. They knew Steve and Tom were concerned. Savannah and Cammy were on their way. They soon received a high altitude drone image. They figured Young Allison was playing her part behind the scenes. She was probably the one who wanted them to backtrack and move to a different position as well.
The Metal girls headed out from the secluded pool through the spa.
Hanna looked back towards the pool area.
"Did we get kicked out by Bob?" Hanna asked.
Holly thought everything seemed rather brisk.
"It's the way it seemed to me." Holly said.
Ally knew what Sheila wanted to happen. It didn't.
"One thing is for sure." Ally said. "We didn't get 'licked out'."
Gail-Cam believed things could have played out a little differently. She thought they were pushed out when they didn't need to be.
"It was Sheila's fault." Gail-Cam said. "I'm sure there will be some punishment handed out to her by Cameron."
Sheila hurried to catch up to the rest of them.
"We showed them." Sheila said.
Cam-Gail believed Sheila needed to re-evaluate her statement.
"We were the ones kicked out, not them." Cam-Gail said.
Sheila only saw it as a setback. The ice was broken and contact was made.
"We didn't get kicked out." Sheila said.
Ally saw it a little differently.
"We're out here and they're still there." Ally said. "I really don't know what else you would call it."
They all received a warning for Jim. Mary and Laura were closing in on their position. He informed them they'd spotted Cameron, Allison and Vanna in the buffet a few minutes ago.
Sheila didn't see it as a big deal. It seemed more like an opportunity to her.
"Those two are ripe for the picking." Sheila said.
Sheila really wanted more.
The other girls didn't want further trouble.
"We should evade them." Cam-Gail said. "They saw Cameron and the others in the buffet."
Sheila looked at the other Metal girls.
"This is all 'the buffet' they need right here." Sheila said.
The Metal girls received another warning from Jim. Mary and Laura were about to enter the spa.
Hanna didn't want to create a conflict for Vanna.
"We need to go back the other way." Hanna said.
Ally spotted Mary and Laura.
"Too late, there they are." Ally said.
Sheila saw it as an opportunity.
"Don't worry about it." Sheila said. "I'll go back to their room with them."
Ally didn't want Sheila to do it.
"Please don't." Ally said.
Sheila wanted to experiment some. She didn't think Cameron would allow it once they were off the ship.
"This is our one chance to get some 'strange'." Sheila said. "Remember, what happens on the ship, stays on the ship. Cameron is the one who said it herself. You all heard her."
Ally felt a little inadequate.
"I know." Ally said. "I still don't want you to go with them."
Ally didn't want to feel like she was being 'replaced'. Maybe she should just go with it and see where it went. The girls were 'clean'. What could it hurt?
Mary and Laura spotted the Metal girls. They stopped where they were and looked. They'd just seen three of the girls in the buffet a few minutes ago wearing clothes. Now they were back in their bikinis.
They watched the one twin, 'Peggy', who was with the redhead earlier, move over and take the arm of 'Sue'.
"How are they all up here now?" Mary asked. "We just saw them in the buffet."
Laura wondered about it. She knew they'd stopped to go by the nude sunbathing area and talk with the deck attendant on the upper deck. She remembered seeing Jesse and Claire before. She hadn't seen them since.
"I don't know." Laura said. "We haven't seen Sue's twin sister and her Hot friend either."
Mary and Laura wondered what was really going on. There seemed to be more than met the eye.
Sheila wanted to keep things under control.
"You four go on." Sheila said. "Ally and I will take care of this."
Holly didn't like being sent away.
"Where do you want us to go?" Holly asked.
Gail-Cam thought they could go see their human girlfriends.
"I think we can join up with Allison and Vanna." Gail-Cam said.
Holly was pleased with the prospect.
Hanna looked at Cam-Gail
"We can always hook up or go elsewhere." Hanna said.
Cam-Gail was enticed with the prospect of being with Hanna again.
"I think so." Cam-Gail said. "I'm all for it."
Holly looked down at her nearly nude form. She knew there were certain rules in effect for the venue where Allison and Vanna would be at.
"We need to put some more clothes on first." Holly said. "They won't let us in the main dining room like this."
Hanna looked at Holly and Gail-Cam.
"I think dressed as you are; you two could go anywhere you wanted." Hanna said.
Mary and Laura came up and greeted the Metal girls.
They exchange pleasantries.
The other Metal girls excused themselves and left Sheila and Ally alone with Mary and Laura.
Mary and Laura watched them go.
"They're all so beautiful." Laura said.
Sheila felt left out.
"What about us?" Sheila asked.
Mary wanted to make a pitch for Sheila.
"None of them are as beautiful and Hot as you are." Mary said.
It made Sheila smile and Ally frown.
Sheila could see Mary wanted more. She wanted it too. Ally was right there.
Laura looked at 'Peggy'. She could see she was clearly attached to 'Sue' right now.
"Weren't you with the redhead in the buffet a few minutes ago?" Laura asked.
Ally already knew about it with the information from Jim. She was ready for it.
"I was. We all get around some." Ally said. "I'm with Sue now. She's my true love."
Sheila looked at Ally and smiled with her comment. She felt the same way as well.
Mary and Laura understood what she meant. It looked like it was a 'no go' with 'Sue'. They looked at each other and thought better of it than trying to hook up with 'Sue' while 'Peggy' was there.
Sheila looked at Mary.
"Sorry, love." Sheila said. "We all have commitments."
Ally didn't want to leave them hanging.
"You can get some spa treatments or visit the front pool." Ally said.
Mary looked at the entrance to the spa.
"Thanks, maybe we'll do it." Mary said.
Ally all but pulled Sheila away. They left.
Mary and Laura watched them go.
"I want her more than ever." Mary said.
Laura wanted to make sure which one. She thought they were both Hot.
"Do you mean Sue?" Laura asked.
Mary still looked where Ally and Sheila went a few seconds ago. She was really enticed.
"I mean BOTH of them." Mary said. "I want to open both of their eyes."
Laura suppressed a laugh.
"You just want them to open other things." Laura said.
Mary shrugged her shoulders.
"There's that too." Mary said. "It shows it's what someone wants, when they do it."
What could be better than that?
The female Fanatic made her turn and began to follow the second box truck. Her destination was unknown.
She didn't close up. She kept some distance. After a short time, she could see the truck in front of her slow. The signal up ahead was red. She dropped back a little further. The light changed to green. She could see the other truck in front of it, make a right hand turn. The truck she was behind made one as well. The light changed again. She paused and waited. She made sure the van or the sedan she'd viewed behind the building, weren't tailing her or the other two box trucks.
There was a pause in the oncoming traffic. She went ahead and made the right hand turn. She fell in behind an SUV. There were two cars in front of the SUV and the second box truck. It seemed like a good spot to stay and not be noticed.
After they'd driven for a short time, she checked it against any of her other target locations. It appeared they might be headed towards one of them. It wasn't one she'd previously thought would pan out. Maybe it would after all. The more of the enemy of SkyMaster she could root out and destroy, the better it would be for SkyMaster going forward. She believed there was only one true rightful heir to the future. It wasn't Skynet.
The trucks both made another right hand turn at another signal. When she reached the signal, she paused. So far there hadn't been any other cross traffic go by yet. She didn't want to pull directly behind the second truck again.
The light was green for her to make the turn but she sat and waited anyway. A sports car pulled up behind her. He honked his horn twice. She didn't want to cause a problem. She went ahead and made the right hand turn. The sports car immediately passed her and sped by her. She didn't look over at the driver. She figured he would probably flip her off.
Her hand rested on the butt of her pistol as the car sped by. The driver didn't know how lucky he actually was she was on a mission right now. She wouldn't hesitate to show him how they did things in the future. It was survival of the fittest. Well, maybe it was survival of the quickest. Whoever shot first was usually the victor.
A brown delivery van pulled away from the curb in front of her. She was glad to see it. She dropped in behind it. She hung back far enough so she could watch on either side of the brown delivery van. She would be able to tell when the trucks made their next turn. If they were headed to where she thought they were headed, they wouldn't be making a turn for a while.
The female Fanatic stayed behind the brown delivery van and the two box trucks.
CamNet's Terminators went back into the room where they left the abusive female and the one who was tied up. They were a little surprised at what they saw.
The fourth female who'd been tied up, managed to move over to where the knife was at. It was where the abusive female dropped it when Lena grabbed her. She'd been able to free herself.
She knelt next to the abusive female who was now tied up herself. She'd been tied and gagged by Lena before she'd left to assist Tina. There was a shrill scream from the abusive female.
Lena rushed over to see what just happened. She'd wanted to question the abusive female further. She saw the other female lift the knife. There was blood on the end of it.
The abusive female continued her shrill scream intermixed with a crying sob as she withered around on the floor. She was still firmly tied and gagged.
Lena took the knife away from the other female.
"What did you do to her?" Lena asked.
The fourth female finished removing the rope which previously bound her hands and feet.
"I did to her, what she said she was going to do to me." The fourth female said. "I wasn't done yet either."
Lena could see there was blood coming from the abusive female's right eye. It ran down her cheek.
"You need to listen to me if you want to get out of here alive." Lena said.
The fourth female stood. Once she was on her feet, she reared back her right foot and kicked the abusive female in the side.
The abusive female coughed violently as she continued to cry and scream in pain. Luckily everything was muffled because of the gag securely across her mouth.
"She got what she deserved." The fourth female said. "I'm going to kill her before we leave. May I please have the knife back? You don't know what she did to me."
Tina entered the area. The shrill whimpering of the abusive female irritated her.
"Snap her neck." Tina said. "We're not going to be able to question her for a long time. I don't want to take her with us in her current condition."
Lena didn't think they would be able to get any useful information out of her. She handed the fourth female the knife back. She wanted her to have some type of closure.
"Do what you need to do." Lena said. "Make it quick and finish her off. All the men are dead."
Lena headed for the hallway towards the front.
Tina stopped and looked at the two females.
"Come with us, if you want to leave." Tina said. "The building is going to burn down."
Tina passed by her to join Lena.
Lena went to the room where she'd left the first female. She was still there. She was dressed now.
"Follow me." Lena said.
Lena moved back into the hall. Tina entered from the rear room.
"There are two more females in the rooms on the side here." Lena said as she pointed.
There was another shrill scream from the rear room.
Lena glanced back at the first female behind her. She could see she looked even more worried.
"Don't worry." Lena said. "It's the female handler. She's experienced a reversal of luck."
The first female looked pleased.
"Good." The other female said. "She deserves whatever is coming to her. She sat right next to me and laughed as each of the men abused me."
Lena figured it was probably because it was what happened to the abusive female at one point in time. Somewhere along the way, she'd become cooperative and useful to the men. She evidently took pleasure in the fact when other females suffered what she'd suffered at one point in time.
Both of the females who'd appeared incapacitated earlier were able to sit up.
Lena looked at the first female behind her. She pointed to one of the slow moving females.
"Help her get dressed." Lena said. "We're not leaving her behind."
The fourth female from the rear room appeared. She still carried the knife. There wasn't any blood on it. She'd evidently wiped it off.
"How can I help?" The female asked.
Tina pointed at the second groggy female.
"Help her get dressed so we can leave." Tina said. "We need to hurry."
Lena went to the office area. There was a gym bag next to the desk. She opened it and dumped it out on top of the dead men. She went back over to the safe and loaded the cash into the bag along with the two pistols which were there. She quickly returned to the area where Tina was at.
Everyone was ready to move out.
Lena and Tina ushered the four girls towards the rear of the building.
They passed the unmoving abusive female. She was quiet now.
"What happened to her?" The first female asked.
The fourth female looked at the abusive female with disgust.
"She got a taste of her own medicine." The fourth female said. "She didn't take it very well."
It was clear the abusive female was dead.
Lena quickly went over what the options were for the girls. She told them there were two vehicles parked in the back. She told them they could seek medical attention if they wanted to. She recommended they not go to the authorities. She opened the gym bag and showed them what was inside.
"Wow, that's a lot of money." The first female said.
The second and third females were still pretty much out of it.
The fourth female saw the two firearms.
"Can I have one of the guns?" The fourth female asked.
Tina quickly gave them a few more rules. She recommended each of the girls who weren't drugged keep one of the firearms. They briefly showed them how to operate them. They could leave in one car or two cars, it was up to them. She asked them to look after the other two females until they were better. They could split the money four ways.
She reminded them again if they went to the authorities, the money would be taken from them. If they went to the hospital it was a fifty-fifty chance. More than likely, the hospital would involve the authorities. The girls decided to stick together for now.
Lena and Tina took one set of keys. They prepared to open the rear door. It appeared as if they were about to have some company.
Indecent Exposure
Something that's very delicate
Is easy to crack or fracture
It can happen unexpectedly
There can be too much pressure
The mistake is often made
To advance when one is insecure
It makes the other look
Like an opportunistic vulture
The goal should be
To find the right mixture
When there's no balance
Things are bound for failure
One needs to be honest
A heart needs to be pure
There must be trust
On any new adventure
To have a better future
There must be no lure
There should only be treasure
Otherwise it's all just indecent exposure
Nobody
