Chapter 1370

Who Is She

Young Allison and her entourage arrived in Palmdale. The SUV exited the 14 Freeway. They were a few blocks away from the Young residence.

Anna wondered if Young Allison would like to do anything else before they arrived at home.

"Do you wish to make any other stops while we're out?" Anna asked.

Young Allison thought everything was fine. It hadn't been very long since they'd shared a meal at Paradise Cove. Not only was the food good, so was the ambience. The best part was actually the company. Savannah had been there with her.

"I'm good." Young Allison said. "If anyone else needs to stop for anything, we can do it now."

No one needed to stop. They continued towards their destination.

The SUV pulled up in front of the Young residence.

Young Allison wasn't happy to be back at home. She would rather be with Savannah. There were a few things on her mind. She felt she'd been lucky on her first combat mission. She was aware things were usually a little bit more dangerous. She was aware she hadn't needed to deal with any enemy fire. The closest thing she'd experienced to it, was when the big man grabbed the barrel of her M4. Her Model 66 made short work of him.

Anna got out first followed by Brian. Young Allison followed him. Randy followed her. Mel backed the SUV up in front of the Detail house and exited it. He would check it and pass through the connecting tunnel into the Young bunker.

Randy broke off from the group and checked the exterior of the house. Anna and Brian entered through the front door. The alarm was still set as it should be. Everything was as they'd left it.

Brian checked the house.

Anna proceeded down into the bunker.

Young Allison followed her down.

The computer screens were all ready lit up with all the information they would need for the operation with Savannah and Cammy.

Anna checked the rest of the bunker while Young Allison got situated.

Mel and Anna returned together a minute later.

"Everything is clear." Anna said.

In a short while, Randy came down the stairs into the bunker from the inside of the house.

"The house is secure and locked." Randy said.

Young Allison thanked Mel and Randy and asked them to thank Brian for her. They departed through the bunker passageway to go back to the Detail house.

Anna plugged in and was in direct communication with CamNet. It seemed John Henry was unavailable right now but his server was in communication. She found it a little odd but didn't question it. If he wasn't in the Command Center, he must have had a good reason to leave.

Young Allison and Anna watched Cammy and Savannah approach the front door of the building from some of drone footage.

Savannah helped Cammy to the front door of the target building. She tried the door and it was locked.

Cammy still 'looked like' she was hurt. They made it appear as if Savannah attempted to get help for her injured friend.

Savannah pounded on the door.

"Help!" Savannah said. "Help us. We need help."

If the enemy was in there, they hoped they opened the front door for them.

There was no activity at the door from the inside.

Savannah pounded some more and called for help again.

Cammy lay down on the ground at this point. She made sure her top was completely open when she did. One of her breasts was fully exposed. It was the bait. If there were some Grays in there, they would be tempted to offer them 'assistance'. They would want to get them inside the building.

Savannah bent down and began giving Cammy chest compressions. She did some mouth to mouth resuscitation while she was at it.

"What do you think?" Savannah whispered.

Savannah continued to 'work' on Cammy.

Cammy listened intently. She didn't detect any activity on the other side of the door.

"I think if there were Grays in there, they would have opened the door by now." Cammy said. "Look at me."

Savannah saw both of Cammy's breasts were fully exposed now. If she needed to do CPR on Cammy, it was bound to bring emergency vehicles at some point. It didn't seem Grays would want any. They could bring the girls inside and deal with them there. Someone from inside would collect their bikes and the girls would just disappear. Things like it happened all the time.

Savannah stopped 'working' on Cammy.

Cammy sat up and leaned against the wall. It was time to play it up and increase the threat level for the Grays inside.

"Go get help and I'll wait here." Cammy said. "We saw a motorcycle cop a few blocks back by the stop sign. Bring them here and they'll make sure I get help."

It would indicate the police would be there in a few minutes if Savannah left. There would be an ambulance soon afterwards. If Cammy 'died' there, there would be some kind of an investigation.

It was still quiet at the door.

Cammy listened for signs of anyone inside the building but there was nothing she could pick up. The drones overhead didn't have any activity around the building to report. They were too high to do any scans of the interior of the building.

"I don't think anyone is inside." Cammy said. "I don't spot any security cameras here either."

Savannah wondered about it. It seemed like a sucker play at this point.

"Are you saying they want someone to enter through the front door?" Savannah asked.

Savannah's suggestion raised the threat level for Cammy.

"I don't know." Cammy said. "I don't like it."

Savannah looked around. She thought about a technique they'd recently used.

"Maybe we can enter through a window." Savannah said. "We've done it before."

Cammy felt caution was needed.

"There could be HK Tracks inside." Cammy said. "They may come to investigate any sounds of an unconventional entry."

The rest of the team reported they were ready to move in as soon as they needed them.

Savannah felt they were out of options at this point. They needed to act.

"How do you want to play this?" Savannah asked. "We either need to enter now or leave."

The risk factor went up even more for Cammy as she thought about it all. She didn't want to endanger Savannah. Then again, they were there right now. She wanted to know what was inside. She could see Savannah wanted an answer.

"I'm thinking." Cammy said.

Savannah wondered what there was to 'think ' about. There were only two choices.

At first Cameron was relieved when Mary and Laura didn't come over to their table. The more she thought about it, the more she began to plan. She did formulate a plan she thought was workable. She'd received a report from Bob. Previously, one of the girls was heavily intoxicated and almost abused. Two men lured her to their cabin. She'd gone with them voluntarily but passed out before she'd entered their room. The men carried her into their room. Ally intervened before anything happened to her. They'd only stripped her naked before she was rescued.

She would have Sheila get Mary and Laura intoxicated again. If Sheila wanted to be with them herself, it was fine. She did want John to accompany Sheila at some point so he could be with one or both of the girls himself. Mary and Laura would be gone in a couple of days. John would have been with two human females on top of the six Metal girls chassis. He would want 'more' when he returned to the base. She would make sure each of the girls at the base understood it was OK with her to be with John. They could share with him, but he would still be with her. She wanted the girls on 'booty duty'.

Cameron told herself she was over the 'jealousy thing'. John was still hers at the end of the day. He deserved more than she could give to him and she wanted him protected. The anti-Metal group was out there. Human females at his side would ensure he wouldn't be assassinated as a 'Metal Lover'. It was her biggest fear. It was why she treated the anti-Metal group ruthlessly when she'd encountered them. She didn't want to be the one specifically responsible for John's termination.

John noticed the 'Terminator look' fade from Cameron's face. It was replaced with a very big smile. He thought she looked even more beautiful. He wondered what she thought about right now. If he knew Cameron, it was probably a scheme of some type. He was pretty sure he did at this point. He looked where she looked and saw it was at Mary and Laura. He wondered what brought about the sudden change in her disposition. He didn't have a clue it was him in their beds with them. He was even more surprised when Cameron picked up the alcoholic drink menu and began to read it.

Cameron looked at him and smiled.

"What drink would you like to try?" Cameron asked.

Vanna and Allison looked at each other when Cameron asked John. They saw she looked over at Mary and Laura and smiled.

They didn't know what Cameron just planned. They could think of a few things. It was a tactic Cameron used on both of them and Jesse before. They knew if Cameron wouldn't have used alcohol on them, she probably would have used drugs instead.

John was caught a little off guard by Cameron's question.

"I hadn't really thought about it." John said. "Maybe at dinner we could try some fine wine or something. I don't know if Vanna will share some with me. I know Allison isn't supposed to drink any alcohol."

Allison frowned. It seemed there were a lot of things she couldn't do anymore.

"Great. You knock me up and then take all the fun out of life." Allison said.

John was about to say he wasn't actually involved in the 'process'.

"He can knock me up too." Vanna said.

Cameron reached over and immediately began to scan Vanna.

Allison watched Cameron select a new 'target'.

"Oh, brother, now look at what you've done." Allison said.

Cameron withdrew her hand after a few seconds.

"You're not in the 'window'." Cameron said.

Vanna saw Cameron look at Mary and Laura again. She didn't want to back down. If it was going to happen, she wanted it to happen with her.

"A little practice couldn't hurt." Vanna said. "It would get my body acclimated. It would produce a superior result when it was time."

Cameron tilted her head a little when Vanna made her statement. She was aware there was some truth to it. It was an effective strategy.

Allison looked at Vanna. She wanted a little 'practice' too if it was the case.

"Maybe we can both find out." Allison said.

Cameron tilted her head slightly the other way.

John looked at Vanna and Allison and over at Mary and Laura. He was open to the idea of one of the four, or all four of them, just not all at the same time.

Cameron stood up.

"Excuse me." Cameron said. "I'll be back."

The three of them watched her head for the table with Mary and Laura. They were sure she used her com as she walked.

John was worried Cameron was going to take some preemptive action against them.

He started to get up to stop her.

"I think I need to do something." John said. "I don't want any trouble."

Vanna held his arm.

"I think it's a friendly visit." Vanna said. "I think she is going to scan them herself."

John and Allison looked at each other.

"Scan them? Why?" John asked.

Vanna believed she knew why but she didn't want to 'scare' John away from them. She was sure Cameron would scan them for the same reason she'd just scanned her. She moderated her answer to John.

"She wants to make sure they're 'clean' for us, or for you." Vanna said.

It piqued John's interest. He liked their smooth curves and cute faces. He'd really liked the idea of a shipboard 'encounter' with some Hot strangers. They could have some fun and then they'd go their separate ways. There would be no strings attached or any emotional bonds to break. It would be all pleasure without the baggage or headaches. He wouldn't need to worry if they would end up dead because of him.

Allison repeated what Cameron told all of them.

"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Allison said.

John nodded. He glanced over in the direction of Mary and Laura. He looked back at Vanna and Allison. Right now it seemed like a good policy to him.

"It's what Cameron told me too." John said.

Vanna did point out the obvious. It was known by all that John had been busy with Cameron in all of the Metal girl's chassis.

"It has sort of been the 'Love Boat' for you so far." Vanna said. "Cameron said she wanted to give you the best honeymoon ever. I'd have to say she's delivered so far. I don't think she's done yet either."

John felt a little embarrassed for being with Cameron in six other chassis besides her own, but not too much. He'd enjoyed every second of it, especially when it was a sheath other than 'Cameron's'.

"I guess it has." John said.

John looked over at Mary and Laura. He'd thought it couldn't get better than what happened so far. Now he wasn't so sure. It looked like it could still get even better. If Cameron put them in his bed, he was going for it. He knew no one would end up there unless Cameron was the one who orchestrated it. If someone else was in his bed, it was what Cameron wanted to happen.

What could it hurt if that was what everyone wanted, including Cameron?

No, really.

What could it hurt? It was just sex. It wouldn't be love.

Mary and Laura were pleased they were able to see the pod of dolphins. It wasn't for very long, but at least they got to see it. They'd returned to their table and shared some small talk while they waited for their food to arrive.

They really wondered about how the other girls were able to move around and change clothes so rapidly. It didn't make sense when they thought about it.

Mary looked up. She was more than a little surprised at what she viewed.

"Hey, here comes Peggy's Hot sister." Mary said.

Laura hoped she wasn't going to kick their butts. She looked like she could.

"She looked mean earlier." Laura said.

Mary could see Cameron looked anything but mean right now.

"Maybe so. Right now she looks like a super model." Mary said. "Take a look at her."

Laura looked over and saw Cameron approach their table. She thought her beauty was stunning.

"Damn, LOOK at her." Laura said. "I'd pay money for that."

Mary doubted it. She reminded Laura about her lifestyle.

"The way you 'give' it away, you wouldn't have time." Mary said.

Laura looked at Cameron.

"I'll let her have as much as she wants." Laura said.

Cameron calculated her angle of approach. She wanted to be able to carry out her current mission undetected as to its nature. She didn't want the girls to know what she was actually about to do. She was at their table. She came up from behind them, instead of directly in front of them.

She placed her hands on the backs of both of their necks as she spoke. It seemed like a friendly greeting.

"Hi, I'm Barbara. Peggy and Sue have told me so much about you." Cameron said.

Cameron scanned them as she spoke. Both girls checked out as 'clean'. She shared some small talk with them to pass some time. She continued to scan them as she conversed with them. All their answers were truthful.

She'd expected the girls to wonder why she'd touched them. Neither one of them questioned it or attempted to move away. If anything, it seemed as if they wanted her to touch them.

The waiter arrived at the table with a bottle of fine wine. Cameron contacted Jim on the way over and had him order it for them with priority service. She was actually surprised it was there just a minute after she was.

Mary and Laura looked at the wine. It looked really expensive. They didn't want to get stuck with the bill if it was a setup or a prank. They didn't think it was, but it was better to check.

"We didn't order anything." Mary said.

Cameron could see they were a little apprehensive. They were more worried about the wine, than they were about her touching them. She wanted to put their minds at ease.

"I did." Cameron said. "Sue asked me to look out for you two if she wasn't around. She wants you to have a good time. She asked me to remind you to stay together when you drink. She didn't tell me why. I thought it sounded sweet. I can tell she really cares about both of you."

Cameron talked to them some more and left them with a big smile and a wink.

Mary and Laura looked at each other as Cameron walked away. They were both awed by her presence.

"What just happened?" Mary asked.

They watched Cameron return to her table.

"I don't know." Laura said.

The waiter returned.

Mary looked at the bottle of wine. She wanted to confirm something before the waiter uncorked it.

"This is free, right?" Mary asked.

The waiter smiled and poured them some of the wine.

"It's complements of the young lady who was just here." The waiter said. "This is the best wine on the ship. It's from the captain's private selection."

Mary and Laura were further confused.

They looked over at the table where Cameron was earlier and they were gone.

"Who is she?" Laura asked. "Is she an actress or something?"

The waiter smiled.

"I really don't know." The waiter said. "She's the top VIP on the ship. She's to be given priority service by all departments wherever she goes. It also includes her entourage. It's all I know."

The waiter left.

Mary and Laura were very confused right now.

Mary tried a sip of the wine. Her eyes widened some.

"This is the best wine I've ever tasted." Mary said.

Laura tried a sip.

"It is." Laura said.

They both looked around again for Cameron and her entourage. They were nowhere to be seen. They were just gone.

It gave them both something to think about. They'd been on the ship for a few days. They'd seen a number of wealthy and well to do people. They could tell by the way they were dressed and the jewelry they wore. For the girl who'd just been at their table to be the top VIP, she definitely needed to be someone special.

It also raised the question as to who were the other girls. One of them was obviously her sister. Were the other ones part of her personal entourage, or were they just 'sappers' who'd latched onto her sister? They also wondered who the handsome male was with them. Was he with 'Barbara'? Maybe he was a gigolo. They really didn't know. One thing was for sure, they needed to know a lot more. It was just for curiosity if nothing else.

Mary really wanted to get her hands on 'Sue' as well. She was pretty sure 'Sue' wanted to get her hands on her. Maybe they should hang out with Leticia more. She seemed to be a chick magnet as well. Perhaps they needed all the help they could get to get their hands on the 'good stuff'. She wasn't referring to anything monetary or consumable either.

Ally and Sheila were in the casino.

Sheila played it cool and won some and lost some at Ally's urging.

Bob was in the background. He didn't interfere with anything.

Ally thought about playing some too but hadn't joined in yet. She watched Sheila slowly amass a lot of chips.

The dealer was changed out on them at one point. They said it was time for her break. They both doubted it. They switched in an older fellow from Eastern Europe to take over.

Sheila wasn't happy with the switch. She figured two could play the same game. Even if they brought in a ringer, or card shark, she could beat them. She started to win with every hand and win big. It started to draw a crowd. It was a challenge to her ability.

Bob came over and asked for the other passengers to give them some room to play. Everyone took one look at Bob and moved away. He looked serious and he was big.

Ally took it as a hint to think about leaving. She wanted to give Sheila some incentive.

"Maybe we can go soon." Ally said. "This is boring. I think we can have some more fun in our suite."

Bob was still there in back of the dealer. It seemed to make him nervous.

"Do you know these girls?" Bob asked.

It seemed to unsettle the dealer since Sheila won every hand.

"No." The dealer said. "I was just sent over here a few minutes ago."

Ally didn't like the vibe they were getting.

"I think we can come back later." Ally said. "Didn't you want to play a game of poker?"

Sheila didn't like Bob standing there. She didn't know if Cameron or CamNet was behind it. It was probably CamNet.

"It's getting hot in here." Sheila said.

She slipped her cover-up off her shoulders. It fell to the floor. It left her only in her skimpy bikini.

Bob came around and picked it up off the floor.

"You dropped this, miss." Bob said. "You need to wear it in here."

Sheila smiled at him.

"Thanks, love." Sheila said. "I hadn't realized it fell off. I'm not used to wearing clothes."

Ally started to gather up Sheila's winnings. It was several hundred thousand dollars.

"We can cash this in and go." Ally said.

Sheila smiled at Ally.

"Sure, love." Sheila said. "I like everyone to be happy."

They got up to leave.

Sheila took the winnings and handed them to Bob.

"Can you take care of this for me?" Sheila asked. "You're a good bloke."

They walked away from the dealer and Bob.

Ally took one look back at Bob as they walked away.

"Where are we going now?" Ally asked. "We can go back to the room."

Sheila was a little miffed.

"We can go back to the nude sunbathing area and make love there." Sheila said.

Ally wasn't so sure about it.

"What if there are other people there?" Ally asked.

Sheila smiled.

"They can watch and enjoy the show." Sheila said. "We can tell them we're porn stars."

Ally didn't think it was the kind of 'movie star' she wanted to be.

Sheila looked at her and laughed.

Ally looked over and spotted Leticia playing video poker.

"There's Leticia." Ally said.

Sheila wanted some action. Leticia seemed to 'call to her' with her presence.

"Let's grab her and take her with us." Sheila said. "I want some 'strange'. She'll do just fine. I love her complexion. I love everything about her. Just look at her. It's the complete package right there. Nothing is fake on her body. It's all the real deal and all natural."

Ally didn't think it was a good idea. There was an angry looking female who came over to Leticia and forcefully took her arm. She bent it behind her back.

"It looks like her friend has other plans for her." Ally said. "She looks really angry and forceful."

Sheila looked at the aggressive female. She was pretty fine herself, but she obviously had an attitude problem.

"She looks like a Bitch." Sheila said. "Let's get Leticia and go. We can show her what real women are like."

Ally hoped Sheila wasn't about to have another problem.

"We're not 'real women'." Ally said.

Leticia's friend let go of her arm as Sheila and Ally approached.

"Look, we didn't have to lift a finger." Sheila said. "The Bitch has already backed down."

There was some movement behind them.

"Is there a problem here?" Bob asked.

He handed Ally the container of chips and moved around them. He looked at the female who'd grabbed Leticia's arm.

Sheila almost bumped into the Bitch who'd grabbed Leticia. She gently took Leticia's hand.

"You're coming with us, love." Sheila said.

Leticia got up. Sheila handed her off to Ally.

Sheila turned and faced the Bitch.

"What's your story?" Sheila asked.

The Bitch sneered at Leticia.

"She owes me money." The Bitch said.

Ally now held the container with the chips Sheila won earlier.

Sheila wanted to snap her neck. She glanced at Leticia, Ally and Bob. She turned her attention back to the Bitch.

"How much money does she owe you?" Sheila asked.

The Bitch glared at Leticia.

"She owes me a lot." The Bitch said.

Sheila reached in the container and came out with a handful of chips.

"This will cover it." Sheila said.

The Bitch looked at the chips she held. There were several thousand dollars.

"I'll let it slide for now." The Bitch said.

Sheila disliked her even more with her comment. She wanted to make things clear.

"She's mine now." Sheila said. "Or you can give back MY money."

Sheila held out her hand to take the chips back.

The Bitch looked at the thousands of dollars she held in her hand in chips.

"You can have her." The Bitch said. "She's trash anyway."

Sheila smiled at her.

"I'm a garbage collector." Sheila said. "I'll only tell you this one time right now. You are to stay away from her for the rest of the cruise."

The Bitch looked at the chips and at Leticia behind Ally.

"I've found better anyway." The Bitch said.

Sheila let her eyes glow red for a fraction of a second. She was angry and wanted to intimidate the Bitch.

The Bitch took a step back. Her mouth fell open slightly. She wasn't sure what she'd just seen. She quickly looked around at the others to see if they'd seen it as well. It didn't appear so.

"Remember what I said." Sheila said. "You're to stay away from her for the rest of the cruise. It means no contact whatsoever. If you do, I want all MY money back with interest. You got it?"

The Bitch looked at the chips.

"I got it." The Bitch said.

Ally looked at the Bitch.

"Believe me, you don't want to owe her money." Ally said. "You also don't want to make her angry. You're really not going to like her when she's angry."

Sheila went to Ally and they left with Leticia.

Bob explained to the Bitch that assaulting another passenger was punishable by maritime laws since they were at sea. If there was any more trouble, she would spend the rest of the cruise in the brig. She said there wouldn't be.

He reminded her he'd witnessed her grab and bend Leticia's arm. He pointed to several security cameras and reminded her it was all on video. He told her he didn't make the rules, but he enforced them. He said he was going to let her off with a warning this time. The next time it was the brig.

The Bitch went to the cashier and cashed in the chips. She ended up with a wad of hundred dollar bills. There was a big smile on her face.

Bob moved next to her again. He pointed at a security camera.

"Remember, they're all over the ship." Bob said. "I'll be watching you."

The Bitch left and went towards the shops.

Bob contacted Jim to tell him of the problem. Jim said he was on it. CamNet informed him it was her personal mission to watch the Bitch.

It seemed they'd all taken a 'fancy' to Leticia. There was just something about her. She was as enticing as she was alluring.

Samantha was stimulating both Jesse and Claire when she heard John Henry greet Riley. She'd been aware Jan was there earlier and John Henry was there after her. She immediately moved to the door and closed it so Riley wouldn't see her in there naked with Claire and Jesse. She locked it too.

She looked back. Claire and Jesse were with each other already. They hadn't slowed down at all.

She came over to them and gave both of them a kiss and said she needed to get back to her job since Riley was out and about.

She quickly dressed and was given instructions on her com on where to go to get ahead of Riley. She wondered why Summer was giving them to her. She figured Summer warned John Henry too. Now she felt personally indebted to Summer. She hurried and took the back way to the rec room.

She was able to enter and take the stroller from Jan. Jan was about to say something when Riley came into the room.

Samantha looked at her and smiled.

"Do you want me to bring Precious back to your room?" Samantha asked.

Riley looked around the rec room. Everything seemed in order.

"No." Riley said. "I just wanted to stretch my legs a little. I did a lot of walking on the ship and I was trying to keep in shape. I need to burn off a few extra pounds."

Samantha offered her a few ideas.

"We can always go to the park for a walk." Samantha said. "I'll go with you. There's always the treadmill in the exercise room if you want to use it."

Jan liked the idea of the park better. She looked over at Riley.

"I'll go with you to the park anytime." Jan said. "It will be fun, Aunt Riley."

Riley smiled.

"I'll think about it." Riley said.

Riley left and went the back way to go by Jesse's room again.

When she arrived there, she was pleased to see the door wasn't shut tight. She spent a long time watching Claire and Jesse together. She wanted to join them but didn't. She eventually went back to her room.

She was pleased Derek was good to go again when she returned. She rode him hard. She didn't care if she was a little sore or not. It only made it better for her the way she felt right now. It seemed to make the finish more intense when it happened. She decided to stay with it and see how many she could ride out of it.

John Henry returned to the Command Center.

He heard Summer direct Samantha where to go and how to avoid Riley.

He thanked her for assisting Samantha and him from creating any problems or issues. He felt personally indebted to Summer. She'd actually helped him before too.

"One hand washes the other." Summer said. "Remember it."

Summer left.

John Henry went to track her on the security cameras but she wasn't there. The only one it showed being out was Riley. She was back at Jesse's room. She stayed there for a long time. It was clear she missed being with females. He would need to notify Cameron.

Summer left the Command Center and went to see Jan and Samantha in the rec room. Samantha looked at her and nodded her thanks. She nodded back. She could tell the Terminators appreciated what she'd done. She liked anything which brought them closer. It was clear she could build her own following without Savannah or Young Allison.

The female Fanatic headed up the rail siding. She kept track of what was happening around her. She decided once she'd checked out the building with the siding she couldn't see, she would come back on one of the cul-de-sacs to reach her vehicle. It would give her another look at the area.

She currently had the distinct feeling she was being watched. She looked around but didn't see any surveillance cameras. She still couldn't shake the feeling. She remembered what the two homeless men warned her about.

Right before the spur track came off of the siding, the tracks passed between two buildings. The buildings were a couple of hundred feet long along both sides of the tracks. She started through the gap. She kept a careful watch in front of her and in back of her. There were no doors or windows on either of the buildings in the gap.

She looked at all of the graffiti on both of the walls on either side of her. It really made her wonder what some people thought when they spray painted someone else's property. She really wondered how they would like it if somebody came to where they lived and spray painted the walls there.

She was halfway down the narrow corridor. Two men walked out on either side of the gap the tracks passed through. She instantly stopped. She turned around. There were two more men on the backside of her now. They had her confined in the narrow gap.

She didn't see any weapons on any of them yet. She knew they were going to be armed with at least knives. By the looks on their faces, she knew they weren't there to commit a robbery. They clearly had something else on their mind.

Her Beretta and knife gave her comfort. She knew she could shoot all four of them. She hoped she wouldn't have to. She didn't want to alert the Grays to any danger in the area. She wasn't going to let them get close enough to grab her. She hoped the narrow gap would channel the sound upward. She wanted them to come a little closer.

"This is our turf and you're trespassing." The first man said with a heavy accent.

She hoped to avoid any trouble but doubted it.

"I'm sorry." The female Fanatic said. "I just walked here from the nearby building. I wanted to stretch my legs a little. I had a long ride in the truck."

She could see they must be familiar with the Grays. It seemed to instill a sense of fear in them. It also seemed to indicate they were aware of the arrival of the bobtail truck.

"We don't want any trouble." The second man said with a heavy accent.

The first and second man said things in Spanish to the other two men.

The female Fanatic continued her walk along the siding. She glanced behind her. The men in back of her didn't follow her. The men in front of her stayed where they were at. It was clear to her they must have had a run in with some of the Grays. They may have even encountered a Skynet Terminator. She decided to push things a little and see what happened.

"My friends don't like all of the graffiti on the walls around here." The female Fanatic said. "If they see any more, they're going to come and pay you a visit. I asked them to let me handle it. I told them I could be very persuasive."

The two men closest to her looked at each other.

"We were just on our way to collect our belongings." The first man said. "We're going to move a little further down the rail line."

The female Fanatic glanced to her rear. The other two men were still in the same spot. She figured if anything was going to happen, it was going to happen soon. So far the two men she'd approached hadn't produced any weapons. She decided to play it up a little more and see what happened.

"I don't want to see any of you get hurt." The female Fanatic said. "You should have cleared out the first time. This is your last warning."

The two men looked at each other. It was clear there'd been some type of negative interaction between the Grays and this group.

The female Fanatic pointed with her finger to the west wall of the east building.

"I want both of you to stand over there right now." The female Fanatic said.

The man on the west side of the tracks quickly crossed over to the east side.

"Walk by me and go join your two friends." The female Fanatic said.

The two men quickly passed by where she was at. Her hand rested on the butt of her Beretta.

"Hit the tracks and keep walking." The female Fanatic said. "Go east and don't stop. Hop on the next train and stay on it."

She continued her walk north. She watched as the first two men joined with the other two men. They all looked back in her direction. She lifted her right hand into the air and pointed towards the main line railroad tracks. The men started to walk away.

The female Fanatic was able to see where the spur track came off of the siding. The building it went to was partially collapsed. It appeared there'd been a fire inside of it. She was sure the target building was to the west. She followed the street which would pass to the north of it.

She took one more look back at the men.

CamNet's Terminators wanted to know if they were needed at any of the other Resistance operations. They were told there were sufficient personnel already assigned. Their new assignment was to get back the five females, and any other ones, at the next location.

Lena and Tina both glanced at their phones as they drove. They watched the action unfold with the female Fanatic. They weren't exactly sure what happened with the four men who attempted to surround her. She'd managed to emerge unscathed from the encounter as the four men hastily retreated. They'd seemed almost fearful of her. She didn't even hold a weapon in her hand.

They were soon two blocks out from the next location they wanted to visit. Lena parked the SUV. Tina stopped next to her with the blue van. They transferred the money and hard drives from the blue van into the back of the SUV.

Lena took a few items from the back of the SUV. She got back into the blue van with Tina. She now wore her protective combat vest and carried her suppressed M4. She handed a vest to Tina, who put it on. She leaned Tina's M4 up against the console.

They both wanted to talk about the female Fanatic but they didn't.

They were clearly involved in an 'off the books' operation for CamNet. It seemed to continue to expand in scope. They were aware there weren't any spare Terminators to do what they currently did. It was why they'd been activated.

"Do you want to go in from the front and the back at the same time?" Lena asked.

Tina had been told a few things about the location where they currently were at. The man she'd questioned was very talkative, before he wasn't.

"I can drive the van to the rear." Tina said. "If I honk twice, they'll open the roll up door to let the van in. They don't move the girls out in the open where anyone can see them. They do it inside of the building. They'll probably think we have another shipment."

Lena figured they would need to go in hot no matter what they did. They would try to start the operation with their silence pistols. If things started to heat up, they would switch to the suppressed carbines.

They checked the satellite images around the target location. There were four cars parked at the rear of the building.

Tina drove up to the rear roll up door. She put the sun visor down to hide her face. She honked the horn twice. There was a slight pause and the roll up door began to open. She held her silenced M9 in her right hand. She rested it on the windowsill of the driver's door. She was told the man who opened the door would be on her left side when she drove in.

There were two men in the rear of the building. They heard a horn honk twice.

"Are they back already?" The first man asked.

The second man looked a little irritated.

"You would think they could call first or something." The second man said.

The first man looked up towards the front.

"Everyone else is busy right now." The first man said. "I think we can take a crack at the new arrivals first this time."

The men's disposition seemed to change when they considered the new possibilities.

The first man went over and pushed the button to open the roll up door. He watched the blue van as it began to pull inside. He didn't catch it at first, but as the blue van drove past him, he saw there was a female behind the wheel. His world went black in the same instant.

The second man was on the other side of the van as it drove in. The side door opened and he saw a female come out. He thought it was very strange, she wore some type of combat gear. Before he could figure it out, his world went black.

Tina shot the man on the left side. She stopped the van and got out. She went over and pushed the button to close the roll up door.

Lena came out of the side door of the van even before it stopped. She shot the man who was there with her silenced M9.

Tina came around the back side of the van. She joined up with Lena.

"It's two down." Tina said.

They could hear a metal latch on the door to the front. They'd already been provided with the blueprints of the building.

They both quickly moved up towards the door on either side of it.

The door opened.

"Let's see what we got." The third man said.

A short portly man came out of the front part of the building.

"Let's go check it out before the other guys start in." The fourth man said.

A tall skinny man walked out behind the short portly man.

The two Terminators waited a moment to see if anyone else walked out. They didn't.

Lena was closest to the door. She gently pushed it closed. She signaled for Tina to engage the two men.

Tina nodded and rose from her place of concealment.

She let the men get closer to the van.

The portly man stopped in his tracks when he saw the second man lying on the ground.

"Something's wrong." The third man said.

Tina fired her silenced M9 twice. Both of the men fell. The fourth man ended up on top of the third man.

Lena opened the metal door slightly. She wanted to see if she could get anyone else to come into the rear area. The more people they could deal with in the back, would make it safer for the girls in the front.

"Wow, you guys aren't going to believe what they brought in." Lena said in the fourth man's voice. "It doesn't get any better than this."

CamNet's Terminators waited to see how many more men would come out.

The four men walked down the siding towards the main line. They constantly looked behind them. They talked among themselves and argued. They were angry words. One of the men stopped and so did another one. The other two men looked back in the direction where they'd encountered the female. They pointed to the mainline tracks and the east. The other two men wanted to go back. They didn't like being run off.

There was a rusted piece of corrugated metal off to the side of them. They heard something which sounded like metal hail. They looked in the direction and saw sparks come off of a rusted piece of metal. They had no idea what just happened. They went and looked at the piece of metal. There were hundreds of holes in it. They quickly realized they were bullet holes. They looked all around them. They didn't know how it happened.

They understood if they went back, they would look the same way. The four men took off running. They followed the siding to the mainline tracks and kept going. They headed to the east as they'd been instructed.

It appeared CamNet didn't want a group of thugs to interfere with what was sure to go down with the Grays.

The female Fanatic was unaware of what happened.

Who Is She

There are many things
Over which two can disagree
At times it may seem
As if they need a referee

No one wants to be
Another's slave or trainee
Everything has some limits
It's more than a matter of degree

Things will happen or change
That one can't foresee
When push comes to shove
No one is always carefree

Everything is firm and static
There's no different reality
When one wants too much
The other will become an absentee

Look around and see
Look past the fancy marquee
Let the big head think
Ask who is she

Nobody
