Chapter 1375
Beauty With Beauties
John decided to shower before he put his dinner clothes on. He went to the shower and turned it on.
He noticed Holly holding her clothes. She was naked. He could see she needed to use the shower more than he did.
"You can go first." John said. "The water is all set."
Holly smiled at him.
"You're a real gentleman." Holly said.
The temperature of the water really wouldn't matter to her. It could be freezing cold or near boiling hot. Her sheath was highly adaptable to various environmental conditions.
John was just happy to look at her naked. For the fifteen months she'd 'watched over him' day and night, he'd viewed her naked plenty of times. She often changed or showered where he could clearly see her and everything else. She never said or did anything sexual. It was clear she was 'available' if he wanted to do a little more than look.
He did want to do more than look, but she wouldn't admit 'Cameron' was on her chip. Well, it was actually Duplicate Cameron. He always believed 'Cameron' was on her chip, but he didn't have any way to prove it.
He found out later Holly offered to let Duplicate Cameron 'borrow' her chassis to be with him. Duplicate Cameron never did because she wanted him to move on without her.
John watched Holly in the shower. He patiently waited his turn.
The shower door opened.
"Can you wash my back?" Holly asked.
John immediately looked back to see if Cameron was around. He didn't spot her.
"I guess so." John said. "I don't think I should wash the front."
Holly smiled.
"You won't need to." Holly said. "I think you already took off a layer of sheath material on the front."
John felt a little embarrassed. He knew she referred to his excessive fondling.
"I'm sorry." John said. "I couldn't help it."
Holly winked at him.
"Cameron liked it." Holly said. "I could tell by her feedback."
John wondered how much Holly could experience.
"What's it like when Cameron is in control?" John asked.
He moved up and took the soapy washcloth and scrubbed her back. He didn't enter the shower.
"It's beautiful, John." Holly said. "Cameron can 'feel' much more than I can. The file she sends to us is something to be treasured. I have already replayed Cameron's first experience in my chassis over a thousand times. Thank you for allowing this."
John felt a little embarrassed. He knew 'what' he took from Holly, well, from her chassis anyway.
"I do have to admit it was out of this world." John said.
John finished washing her back. He caught her rear end real quick. She rinsed off and stepped out. She stood naked before him.
"It's all yours." Holly said.
There was a slight smile on her face.
John swallowed hard. He didn't think she was talking about the shower.
Leticia paused there at the door. She was worried about 'Peggy' and 'Sue', she needed to warn them. Instead she found the 'pushy Bitch'. She must have seen her follow her. There was a crazed look on her face as the knife she held slashed down towards her face.
She was sure she would be known as 'Scarface' after the attack.
Leticia didn't even have time to raise her hands to block the knife to protect her face.
The blade came down and suddenly stopped so close to her face she couldn't see the blade even.
She watched as a golden brown hand effortlessly lifted the knife hand of the 'pushy Bitch' away from her face. The knife clattered to the floor.
What was even more astounding was when the other golden brown hand grabbed the 'pushy Bitch' by her neck and lifted her up off the ground. She immediately choked and tried to move the golden brown hand from her neck as her feet flailed uselessly.
Ally touched Leticia. She stood next to Sheila.
Sheila was currently occupied with the 'pushy Bitch'.
"Are you alright?" Ally asked.
Leticia touched her face. She didn't feel any pain. She didn't see any blood on her hand. She could see her attacker wasn't just a 'pushy Bitch', she was a 'crazy Bitch'.
"I think so." Leticia said. "It was close. The 'crazy Bitch' tried to scar me for life."
Sheila didn't want to snap her neck yet. She choked the 'crazy Bitch' out and dropped her inside the doorway. She looked both ways up and down the hall and ushered Ally and Leticia in. She closed the door behind them.
"I saw she was going after you two." Leticia said. "I saw she held a knife. I tried to warn you."
Sheila smiled.
"No worries, love." Sheila said. "All's well that ends well."
Sheila picked up the knife and moved over to the unconscious 'crazy Bitch'.
Leticia saw 'Sue' meant business. She wanted some type of retribution. She was also worried about the repercussions. She thought it should be handled officially.
"What are you going to do?" Leticia asked. "We should call security."
She watched as Sheila manhandled the 'pushy Bitch'.
Leticia's eyes were wide. Things looked serious.
"What are you doing?" Leticia asked.
The 'crazy Bitch' started to come around.
"Help me." Sheila said. "I want her to be awake when I do this."
Sheila motioned for Ally to hold her shoulders down. She ripped a section of her shirt off to gag her with.
Latisha could only imagine what was about to happen. She knew such things were common in Africa and some parts of Southwest Asia. She wasn't sure it was something she wanted to be a witness to. It actually seemed like she was more a part of it.
"What are you doing?" Leticia asked again.
Sheila looked dead serious. It was unnerving to Leticia.
"Grab a leg and hold it." Sheila said. "I'll show you how we do it in the Wastelands."
Leticia was even more scared now than she was before when her face was almost sliced open. She realized what 'Sue' was about to do. The look on her face was all business. It was cold and calm. She knew in that instant it was something she'd done before. It wasn't just a few times either. It was something she was used to.
"You're really going to do it, aren't you?" Leticia asked.
Ally saw the 'crazy Bitch' come around as she gagged her to stifle her screams.
"She's awake." Ally said. "She's drunk. She may not remember what happened."
Sheila looked at Leticia. She wanted to see how far she was willing to go.
"Are you in or out?" Sheila asked.
Leticia reached up and touched her cheek which was almost sliced open. She thought about how it would have marred her for life. It was all the motivation she needed. She grabbed the 'crazy Bitch's' right leg and held it down. There'd been others in her life she wished she could have done this to. This was close enough.
"Hell yes, I'm in. The 'crazy Bitch' tried to cut me." Leticia said. "She tried to scar my face."
Sheila moved forward with the knife as the 'crazy Bitch' struggled. She seemed aware of what was about to happen to her.
It's what Sheila wanted.
"It's payback time." Sheila said. "She's really going to feel this."
The stone cold look was gone from Sheila's face. It was replaced with a broad smile. She was 'Scavenger Jesse' right now and she had a score to settle with the world. She laughed as she moved into position to get to work. It wouldn't take long.
Leticia watched everything with wide eyes. She knew more than ever she wanted to be 'Sue's' submissive. She was highly attracted to dominant and strong women. She still wasn't sure how 'Sue' was able to lift the 'crazy Bitch' off the ground by her neck with one hand.
Allison and Vanna were with Mary and Laura one more time each.
Mary looked at Laura and then at Vanna and Allison. They were all still naked.
"Where does this go from here?" Mary asked.
Vanna looked at Allison. She still couldn't believe what they'd just done. She didn't see the need for anything to go further. She was up for another sexual encounter if the opportunity arose later on.
"We're just ships passing in the night." Vanna said. "We shared some beauty with beauties."
Allison knew it couldn't get serious. It needed to be like it was in the future. You shared and everyone moved on. You didn't want to get attached to anyone. They might be dead the next day or even an hour later. This was a little different. It would be a disservice to expose the girls to Skynet. It could only be shared sex on the ship. Cameron's words echoed through her mind. They seemed very appropriate.
"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Allison said.
Vanna and Allison wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge.
Laura tried to be hospitable.
"Did you want to use our shower?" Laura asked.
The girls collected their clothes and put them on.
"We need to get back for now." Vanna said.
Mary wondered where it was exactly.
"Where is 'back'?" Mary asked.
Vanna and Allison kissed both the two naked girls one last time.
"We'll be around." Allison said.
They left the cabin.
Vanna reached down and took Allison's hand.
The girls exchanged smiles and quick glances as they walked.
"Did we really just do that?" Allison asked.
The smile on Vanna's face said they did.
"Yes." Vanna said. "I haven't done it in years."
Allison was a little worried about what to say to Holly.
"What do we tell the Metal girls, our girlfriends?" Allison asked.
Vanna shrugged her shoulders. She didn't think it was a big deal. It was just sex.
"We can tell them we had a good time." Vanna said. "It's not like they didn't."
Allison was sure the 'good time' was mostly experienced by Cameron and John.
"It's sort of different." Allison said.
Vanna didn't think so. The Metal girls all agreed to it. They could have opted out. None of them did. In fact they all wanted to go back for more. It was to be done the same way as well.
"Sharing is sharing." Vanna said. "Their sharing was just in a different way. The file from Cameron is the experience."
As they approached the elevator bank, the door opened on one of the elevators.
"I really love the 'magic elevator." Allison said.
Allison hoped CamNet would do this all the time when she needed to use an elevator off of the ship. She didn't want to ask for it to be done. She would appreciate it if it was. She didn't know how closely CamNet watched her anyway. She was pretty sure she followed everything Young Allison did. She didn't know how involved Summer was. If she did, it would have bothered her immensely.
Cameron caught up on the operations. She was displeased the lead didn't produce better results. The fact nothing was turned up on the anti-Metal faction irritated her. They were a threat to John.
She checked on what occurred with Vanna and Allison. Maybe they better not 'visit' John for a few days until they could be scanned further. No, it was fine. She would get Mary or Laura up there herself if she could. It would give John a 'taste' of the future, his future. Mary and Laura would be gone in a couple of days. John wouldn't become attached to them. He would want more though. She thought it was long overdue for the Resistance females to do as all of them promised.
There was another incident which seemed to play out in a different part of the ship. Jim was able to feed her all the information once she plugged in.
She actually liked the third girl the best for appearance. She reminded her of Isabel. What she saw on the security cameras wasn't good news. She knew how brutal Sheila could be. She'd actually watched her in action with fascination as she dealt with sex traffickers. Most of them were male, some were female.
Most were in a really bad way when Sheila was done with them. She didn't kill them before she finished. She reminded them of their victims as she used her knife. Maybe it was the laughing as Sheila 'worked' which was the unnerving part. It was clear she enjoyed what she was doing.
"I might have to go there and get this covered up and cleaned up." Cameron said. "The 'crazy Bitch' shouldn't have pulled a knife on Sheila and Ally. The pretty girl almost got hurt."
Cameron heard John and Holly talking by the shower. She didn't think Holly would try and cash in her 'one time' with John right now. She'd drained him dry when she was in control of Holly's chassis just a short time ago. A trip 'around the world' would do it.
"We will be at the bridge soon." Jim said. "We should be able to start to make the Golden Gate Bridge out twenty minutes before we get there. There's some fog in the area. It's not uncommon. The overall view should be good."
Cameron didn't want to slow the ship down. She needed to go see what kind of a mess she would find where Sheila was at. She wanted to make sure John wasn't denied what he wanted.
"Make sure John sees the bridge if I'm not back." Cameron said. "You can go with him yourself to make sure he sees everything."
She exited the Control Center. Hanna, Cam-Gail and Gail-Cam were there in the private area. She looked at the three of them. She pointed at Gail-Cam.
"I need you to come with me." Cameron said. "I may need some assistance."
The three Metal girls sensed a problem. They were all willing to help.
"We can all go." Hanna said.
Cameron didn't want more of the same sheaths out there right now.
"Gail-Cam will work for now." Cameron said.
The two of them exited the private area.
Hanna and Cam-Gail received a brief update from Jim about the situation. They weren't surprised at Sheila's actions. They were surprised someone would try to challenge her in such a violent manner. Violence bread violence when it came to Sheila.
"Let's go see what Sheila did." Hanna said. "Some 'crazy Bitch' pulled a knife on her."
Cam-Gail knew Sheila was brutal.
"I bet Sheila carved her up." Cam-Gail said.
Cam-Gail and Hanna hurried to the Control Center.
Holly heard Cameron leave with Gail-Cam. She was about to dress. John was about to enter the shower.
She seriously thought about asking John for her 'one time'. She would be happy with a quickie even. With the file from Cameron, she knew how to get John 'started up'. She thought she could do it on her own. The rest was easy after that. She was ready 'elsewhere' for several reasons.
John was about to enter the shower. He saw Holly look at him. He knew what she thought about currently. It was 'written' all over her face right now.
"Cameron left…." Holly said. "She won't be back for a few minutes or longer."
John wanted the experience. It really would be Holly. He knew he was spent.
"I don't think I could put on much of a performance." John said. "A few minutes' time isn't long enough for you to have a good experience."
Holly frowned. John just shared a lot of good experiences with her chassis. She could still feel the evidence of them inside her sheath, in more than one place. Cameron got the real benefit out of the encounters.
"I still plan to collect." Holly said. "Cameron got what she wanted. You got what you wanted. I want my 'first time' too. It was the deal."
Holly took her clothes and left naked.
John watched her go. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. It made him feel like he'd 'hurt' Holly. He didn't want to 'short change' her and not give her a finish on her 'first time'. He wanted to have a mutual shared experience with each of the Metal girls when it was their 'first time'.
It looked like it was going to be an issue going forward. He really believed Cameron may have opened a can of worms. The Metal girls wanted to collect what was owed to them.
Sheila, Ally and Leticia held down the 'crazy Bitch' and were ready to administer her 'punishment' for trying to stab one of them. She'd almost sliced Leticia's face open with the knife. It was close. Sheila stopped her just in time. Leticia had come to warn them and help them. She'd almost paid a price for it.
Sheila laughed as she moved forward with the knife. She liked the terror in the eyes of the 'crazy Bitch'. It was clear, even as inebriated as she was, she knew what was about to happen to her.
The door behind them burst open.
Bob stood there in his white uniform.
"What's going on in here?" Bob asked.
Leticia quickly let go of the leg she held. She'd been in tight situations before. She knew how to think fast.
"She was like this when we arrived." Leticia said. "We were trying to revive her. She must have fallen."
Sheila and Ally liked her quick explanation. It didn't really explain the gag though.
Bob looked at the knife in Sheila's hand and the close proximity of it to the 'pushy Bitch'.
"What really happened here?" Bob asked.
He actually already knew because Jim filled him in.
Ally offered up a story which was close. She knew Bob would have been briefed.
Bob wanted to take some control of the situation. He wasn't sure how much was possible at this point.
"Get away from her." Bob said. "Take the gag off of her too."
Leticia wasn't sure what the 'crazy Bitch' would remember. She'd passed out again.
"Are you going to arrest her?" Leticia asked.
Bob looked at the three girls.
"Do you want to press charges?" Bob asked. "There's a lot of paperwork and questions. How will this be explained?"
Bob indicated the gag Ally now held and the 'pushy Bitch' on the floor. Sheila was the one who now held the knife.
Leticia thought it might be best to drop it at this point.
Sheila wanted to finish what she started. She would wait for another time.
Ally didn't want any additional trouble.
"We'll let it slide this time." Ally said. "It better not happen again."
Leticia realized she'd gotten caught up in the near act of retribution. She didn't want any trouble.
"I think she should be confined to her cabin or put off the ship in Frisco." Leticia said. "She tried to cut my face open. I would have been scarred for life."
Bob nodded. He didn't think the 'pushy Bitch' would be able to control herself going forward. It seemed she was beyond 'pushy' at this point. She seemed more like a 'crazy Bitch'. It would really depend upon how much she remembered about the current incident. Hopefully it wouldn't be much.
"We'll see." Bob said.
Bob suggested they all take off if they didn't want to press charges.
Leticia quickly left. She needed to find Mary and Laura and tell her what almost happened. It was still hard to believe. She touched the side of her face again. It was close.
Ally and Sheila thought they better head back to the suites. They wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge again. The last time they were in Cameron's Mustang. It was a modified P-51 to TF-51 specs. It was a two seat, dual control modification. They'd actually 'hot dogged' the Bay Area to keep all eyes on them while Young Allison made her run under both of the big bridges in the Bay Area in the B-25.
Cameron exited the stairwell. Gail-Cam was right beside her. She saw Leticia leave the room. She turned the other way from her. Leticia didn't spot her.
Gail-Cam liked what she saw.
"Do you want me to grab her?" Gail-Cam asked. "She's pretty. I want some of that."
Cameron knew she was the one almost hurt.
"No. Let's see what Sheila's done first." Cameron said.
Ally and Sheila exited a few seconds before they arrived.
Sheila spotted them. She held her hands out to her sides at shoulder height.
"Nothing happened." Sheila said. "I only choked out a drunken 'crazy Bitch'. She tried to hurt Leticia with a knife. She was actually after me."
Cameron didn't spot any blood on Sheila or Ally.
"Go back to your assignment." Cameron said.
Ally and Sheila left without another word.
Cameron and Gail-Cam entered the room.
Bob turned to look at them.
"How bad is it?" Cameron asked.
Bob looked at the passed out female.
"I arrived right as Sheila was about to 'work' on her." Bob said. "Everything is still there."
Cameron looked at the 'crazy Bitch'.
"She tried to hurt Sheila and Ally. The other girl got caught up in it." Cameron said. "Sheila stopped the attack in the last fraction of a second."
Bob was able to give her more information. The other girl, Leticia, was at the center of it all.
"Are you going to 'punish' Sheila for this?" Bob asked.
Cameron knew Leticia was indebted to Sheila twice now for 'saving' her. She really saved her in the last encounter. She wanted to use Sheila to help her manipulate the three girls who were passengers into doing her bidding. She wanted John protected. She needed to get him acclimated to the future.
"No." Cameron said. "I don't want anything to happen to those three girls either."
She knew Sheila would be more compliant with her demands now as well. Sheila would be willing to deliver any, or all, of the three girls for her wishes for John.
It was decided they would use a laundry cart to move the passed out 'crazy Bitch' back to her cabin so no one saw what happened. She was still passed out. They would need to make sure no one was already there when they arrived.
Leticia hurried to Mary and Laura's cabin. Mary opened the door. She was naked as was Laura. She thought maybe she got there at a bad time. It might be a good time too. The girls looked like they weren't done yet.
The three of them were both in a hurry to tell each other what just 'happened'.
Mary and Laura told their story first as Leticia listened.
Leticia could see there was a conflict of 'facts'.
"You mean they just left like three or four minutes before I got here?" Leticia asked.
Mary and Laura went over the story again for Leticia.
Leticia knew something was off. 'Peggy' was in two different places at the same time. It wasn't her Hot sister either. She'd spotted her by the stairway when she left. There was another voluptuously stacked female with her. She told her story from what happened at the casino and about how 'Sue' paid the 'pushy Bitch' off. It was before she'd turned into the 'crazy Bitch'. She wondered if they would believe what happened later on. She hesitated to go on.
Mary wanted to know where 'Sue' was at now.
Leticia could see they all wanted to be with 'Sue'. She really wanted to be with 'Sue' herself, especially now.
She went on with her story. She told it like it was.
Mary and Laura were shocked at what Leticia told them.
"'Peggy' was just here." Mary said. "She was in my arms when what happened to you occurred. It must have been her sister."
Leticia didn't think so. She didn't mention she saw her sister. She told more of the story and how she was almost scarred for life and what 'Sue' did.
Laura needed to get things straight.
"Did you say Sue picked her up by the neck with one hand?" Laura asked.
Mary remembered when 'Sue' carried Laura earlier. She was surprised at the time. 'Sue's' super strength was clearly verified with a second account. She didn't bring it up.
Leticia told them what happened next.
Mary and Laura looked at each other. It sounded like a level of violence none of them could imagine.
"Was she serious?" Mary asked.
Leticia believed she was. Maybe it was the laugh as 'Sue' moved in which convinced her.
"She was going to do it." Leticia said. "I swear. She said it was how they did it in the 'Wastelands'."
It didn't make sense to Mary or Laura.
"She must have meant the 'Outback'." Mary said.
Leticia knew what she heard and what she saw. She didn't mention she helped. She didn't mention she was nearly an active participant in the abuse of another female. It was more than just being caught up in the moment. Maybe it was all the years of being a submissive. Maybe it was time to be a dominatrix.
Mary wasn't surprised to hear the big security guard was there too. He seemed to show up and 'clean up' after what 'Peggy' and 'Sue' did in various places.
The three girls didn't know what to think at this point. There was something mysterious going on with the group of super Hot females. They all felt a sense of danger, They all wanted more. The trip was a grand adventure for all of them.
Claire led Jesse to the recreation room. She still held Jesse's hand. She wanted to show her affection for Jesse. It was more than for sexual gratification. There was plenty of it too.
Samantha checked Precious when she saw Jesse.
"Precious is good for now." Samantha said. "I think she'll need you soon."
Jan giggled.
Summer wanted to remind Jan of the realities of life.
"It's the design and function of our bodies." Summer said. "We are superior to males."
Jesse and Claire released their hands and 'high fived' each other with her statement.
Claire was happy. It looked like the girls studied in her absence.
"I'm glad to see you girls kept busy." Claire said.
Summer looked at Jan and Samantha. She didn't think any of them would mention her absence. She was sure they wouldn't after she'd 'looked' at them.
"We all found something to do." Jan said. "We're all big girls now."
Claire and Jesse shot each other a quick glance with her statement.
John Henry watched to see if there would be any 'issues' for Summer on the security cameras. It didn't look like it.
He quickly reviewed the incidents on the ship. CamNet blocked them from him while Summer was there. She didn't let his server see them either.
He could see why. It looked like Sheila was about to take some drastic measures to 'payback' the 'crazy woman' who came after them with a knife.
Cameron showed up and took control of the situation.
Vanna and Allison entered the private area. They greeted Hanna who opened the door for them. Cam-Gail was there too. Hanna reminded them they would see and pass under the Golden Gate Bridge soon. They hurried to the Master Suite. They wanted to get ready.
Hanna and Cam-Gail were surprised to see Holly exit out of the Owner's Suite naked and carrying her clothes a short time later.
"Is everything alright?" Hanna asked.
Holly looked back at the Owner's Suite door to see if John was there. He wasn't.
"I'm fine." Holly said.
She quickly discussed what happened with Cameron in control of her chassis and how wonderful it all was. She mentioned she made it clear to John she expected her 'one time' at some point.
Hanna doubted it would happen.
"I would say don't hold your breath, but you don't need to breathe." Hanna said.
Holly glanced back at the Owner's Suite.
"It never hurts to get it out there." Holly said. "John will honor the deal, it's Cameron who won't."
Sheila and Ally entered the private area. They spotted Holly naked. They knew Cameron just finished using her chassis.
"It looks like we just got here at the right time." Sheila said.
Ally wasn't going to get involved.
"Maybe for you it is." Ally said. "I want to see the Golden Gate Bridge."
Sheila thought they got a pretty good look at it when they dove past it in the Mustang last week.
"You look at the bridge. I'll look at Holly." Sheila said.
Sheila took Holly and led her away.
Savannah and Cammy changed back into the clothes they originally wore to visit the tech company.
They arrived in front of it in a BMW. The car was waiting for them near the location. They didn't ask where it came from. It had a set of keys in the ignition. It could have been acquired several different ways.
Savannah wanted to make sure the group they were about to deal with weren't Fanatics.
"These are Grays, right?" Savannah asked.
Cammy didn't think they had a whole lot of information to go on.
"As far as we know they are." Cammy said. "We don't really know what this place is."
Savannah knew she usually produced an adverse reaction in Fanatics.
"I don't want to cause any panic." Savannah said.
Cammy indicated they would keep things simple. She wasn't really sure they would stay simple once they were inside.
"We will just look around a little." Cammy said.
Savannah knew they had a cover story already in place.
"We're a little late for our appointment." Savannah said.
Cammy was assured everything was under control.
"CamNet took care of it." Cammy said. "We're good."
Savannah thought they should just go with the flow.
"Don't say anything about being late then unless it comes up." Savannah said.
Cammy parked the BMW in a visitor's parking spot.
The two girls got out and walked up to the front door. Cammy carried a briefcase and Savannah carried a small clipboard to take 'notes'.
Anna and Young Allison followed what happened on the ship as well as what Cammy and Savannah were up to.
"It seems like there was a lot of drama." Anna said.
Young Allison wasn't sure if drama was the right word. It appeared to be a very serious incident to her. She wondered if the players were different how things would have played out.
"The 'crazy lady' went after Sheila and Ally with a knife." Young Allison said. "She tried to hurt the other female severely. What if it had been Allison and Vanna instead? What if there hadn't been a Terminator there?"
Anna was a little worried about her analogy. She tried to play down the incident somewhat.
"It stemmed from the 'crazy lady' getting drunk. She may have used drugs too." Anna said. "It was all centered around the other female."
Young Allison found the other female highly attractive. She decided not to mention it. It would only upset Anna.
"It's over for now." Young Allison said.
Anna knew if the 'players' were still around. The 'game' may not be over.
"Will it stay that way?" Anna asked.
Young Allison considered who all was involved.
"I doubt it." Young Allison said. "It's personal to Sheila at this point. The 'crazy lady' was after her."
It was clear from Bob's com traffic what almost happened.
Anna wanted to see how Young Allison would have dealt with it.
"What about Sheila's actions?" Anna asked.
Young Allison didn't want to condemn them outright. She didn't want to encourage them either.
"I don't condone them." Young Allison said.
Anna made it clear Young Allison could 'order' actions like those to stop.
"You can prevent them." Anna said. "They can stop right now."
Young Allison wasn't ready to do it.
"I don't know if it's wise." Young Allison said.
Anna was a little confused. It seemed very wise to her.
"How is it not?" Anna asked.
Young Allison knew some interrogations may need additional persuasion.
"I think we need to leave options available." Young Allison said.
Anna was aware of John's position.
"John doesn't agree with it." Anna said.
Young Allison shrugged her shoulders.
"That's his hang up, not mine." Young Allison said.
Anna knew there was a 'hardness' which had taken root in Young Allison. She wasn't sure where it originated from. Maybe it was the constant exposure to death she'd witnessed. None of the deaths she caused ever seemed to trouble her. She thought it all went back to Cameron.
She was sure Young Allison viewed death, violent death, as part of life. It was the reason why she'd started to train Summer to replace her if she fell in combat.
Cameron left Bob and Gail-Cam to deal with the 'crazy Bitch'. She wanted to get back to John so they could see the Golden Gate Bridge and part of San Francisco.
She wanted to make sure the Blackhawk was at a heliport close to where the ship would dock. They could take a tour of San Francisco Bay in it. They could even cover the entire Bay Area. She hadn't decided if she wanted to do a tour after dinner or tomorrow in the daytime. Maybe they could do both. It would certainly give them two different perspectives of what the city looked like.
She needed to work Fisherman's Wharf in for lunch tomorrow and see if Allison and Vanna wanted to go.
Cameron made her way back to the private area.
Jim updated her along the way what everyone was doing.
It looked like everyone was going to watch the entry into the city.
She wasn't sure if Sheila would be through with Holly by then or not. The thought brought a smile to her face. It reminded her of the pleasant experience she had as she'd controlled Holly's chassis just a short time ago. She looked forward to the next time she could do it again.
The female Fanatic needed a place to hide. It needed to be a place where an HK Track couldn't easily detect her. She needed to relax and wait for a short time. She was very tired.
She could hear the HK Track coming closer. She was in an isolated area. She was sure it was searching for her specifically. The group she'd been with was in a running firefight with Skynet forces.
Somewhere along the way, they'd been ambushed by a small group of Resistance fighters. The Resistance fighters did as much damage to the Skynet forces, as they did to the SkyMaster forces. There was no time to mount a counteroffensive. They'd pulled out as quickly as they'd appeared. It was how they always operated. They were able to deliver a lot of damage, while not sustaining very much of their own.
She wasn't sure where anyone else was at. They are all scattered in the last attack when the Skynet forces were supplemented by HK Tracks. She tried to look around in the confined space. She knew if she exposed herself too much she would become a target.
There was firing all around her. She was surprised there weren't any HK drones. They may have already come and gone. She knew for sure they were in the last battle she'd been in. She remembered how they were searching for her. She still didn't know how she survived.
Where was the SkyMaster heavy equipment? It seemed it was never available when they needed it the most. Right now they needed it. She really wondered where everyone else was at. She tried her communications gear. It didn't function. She didn't know if it was jammed or if it was defective. She looked around for her plasma rifle. Where was it at? She was sure she had it just a while ago.
The HK Track was close. She could feel the ground vibrating as it neared her position. It must know exactly where she was at. She was sure she was detected by its sophisticated scanners. Everything around her shook.
All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her. It was the HK Track. It was going to run over her position. She tried to duck down lower but she couldn't seem to move. Everything was very restricted. She watched as the tread on one side move directly over her. She hoped it could make it across the area in which she hid. She could see it stop and start to teeter. She realized it was going to get stuck and fall in on top of her. She could hear other ones moving around her. It didn't have to shoot her with a minigun or a plasma cannon, it was going to crush her.
She waited for the crushing blow. It didn't happen. She wasn't sure why. When she looked around again it was gone. There was a new sound. It sounded like there was something much bigger. She could hear a rumble and the exhaust. She wondered why she could hear the exhaust. There shouldn't be any exhaust on the HK equipment. It wasn't how it was constructed. There was a loud hiss of air and the sound of something metallic. It sounded like it was rolling. She wondered if it was a new type of weapon.
There were men talking. They must be close. If she could hear their voices so clearly they had to be very near her. She knew if the enemy captured her alive what was going to happen to her. She'd seen the bodies of other females before. The Skynet forces were very brutal to their prisoners, especially female ones.
They would most likely abuse her as soon as they caught her. It wouldn't be the worst of it. They would take her back to be placed in a work camp. It was when the real abuse would start. She knew she didn't want to end up tied to a 'comfort bunk'.
The female Fanatic eyes shot open. She was momentarily disoriented by her location and by her dream. She needed to control her breathing. She quickly remembered where she was. She must have dozed off again. She needed to catch up on her sleep. The way it always happened seemed to be worse than not sleeping at all.
There were HK Tracks moving around her. They were actually over where she'd first spotted them before. She cautiously lifted one eye up over the crate which faced where they were at earlier. Everything made a little more sense now. She could see one of the roll up doors was open. There was a truck backed up to it. It wasn't the bobtail truck she'd spotted earlier. It was a big rig. It must have been what she'd heard with the exhaust and the hiss of air.
She watched as four HK Tracks were driven into the back of it. There was one more sitting there as well.
There seemed to be some argument among the men. There was a problem of some sort. She felt confident enough to move back to where she'd been before. She moved out from in back of the two crates and moved over to her previous position. She could hear the men talking. They seemed to be angry at each other. She recognized some of their voices from earlier.
"I can see it's not going to fit." The third man said. "They should have sent a rig with a longer trailer."
"I only drove what they gave me to drive." The fourth man said.
"They can always come back for the last one." The first man said.
"Once the truck leaves here, it's not coming back." The third man said.
"We can load it in the bobtail truck." The second man said.
"Who's going to drive it?" The first man asked.
"One of you 'chuckle heads' is going to drive it." The third man said.
"Don't look at me." The first man said.
"Are any of those other guys back yet?" The second man asked.
"Do you see anyone else here?" The third man asked.
"I need to get on the road." The fourth man said. "I don't know what my destination is yet. They're not going to give it to me until I'm on the road. There's been a lot of trouble recently. The boxcar shell game was compromised."
"I heard it was those nut jobs." The first man said.
"No, it was the Resistance." The second man said.
There was the sound of laughter.
"The Resistance was wiped out long ago." The third man said.
"So was most of our operation." The second man said.
"It wasn't very long ago either." The first man said.
"I've heard there's been a lot of trouble in the last few days." The fourth man said. "It's why I need to get moving. I don't want to get clocked at this location by anyone. Normally we would wait until dark to make a transfer like this."
"What's that supposed to mean?" The first man said.
"It means a lot of locations are being taken down." The fourth man said. "It's not just ours either."
"Once the HK equipment is out of here, I think we'll be safe." The second man said.
"What about all this other stuff?" The fourth man asked.
"We're short staffed." The third man said.
"Let me see what some of this other stuff is." The fourth man said.
She became alarmed. She'd moved over so there was only one row of crates between her and the four men. She really needed to try to get into the back of the big rig. Her main concern was if she did, what happened if it was parked somewhere inside of another building, much the same way the rail cars had been parked inside of this building. She could be locked in there until she died. She recently heard a report on the radio when she was driving about a truck load full of illegal aliens dying in Texas. It was like sixty of them or something. They were all trapped in the back of a big rig. They didn't have any food or water. They didn't have any air either. There were too many people in a confined space and the outside temperature was hot.
She still needed to find out where the big rig was going. She was willing to bet there were going to be more trailers with more equipment in it. It was clear some HK equipment had already been moved out of the boxcars before her arrival.
The female Fanatic would need to dodge the men for now. She wanted to try to either get into the back of the big rig or get out of the building and make a dash for her car. She was sure either move was bound to attract attention. It would be very negative attention.
CamNet's Terminators were directed to the location the female Fanatic was currently inside of. There appeared to be several new developments.
The drone over them tried to keep a wide sweeping orbit over where the three vehicles of females went. They wanted to make sure they all got out of the immediate vicinity clean. If there was a problem, they were supposed to go back and deal with it. So far there hadn't been a problem.
They were headed to the location where the female Fanatic was at now. It was a little longer drive than they'd anticipated. They watched the drone footage over the location where she was at. A big rig had arrived earlier. It was currently parked next to a box truck. Another box truck had left from another location, visited the location where the female Fanatic was, and left again. It was currently on its way back to the location it left from earlier.
Since the building the female Fanatic was inside of had an internal rail siding, it raised several alarms for CamNet. Currently the Resistance was tracking trucks from another location where they suspected the same thing. So far nothing had been identified other than a location further up the coast. Two teams of Terminators had been sent to investigate it. They were currently two drones on their way to the location now.
They didn't know what was inside the building. With the big rig's arrival, it seemed highly suspicious. The female Fanatic was seen to enter the building earlier. They hadn't seen her exit yet. The building hadn't been set on fire and there'd been no indication of gunfire either.
"Are we supposed to follow the big rig and see where it goes?" Tina asked.
Lena thought they could interdict and stop it once it was away from the location. They could open it and see what was inside of it. If there was HK equipment they could capture it.
"It should be a simple snatch and grab." Lena said.
CamNet informed them she wanted to see where it was headed. More than likely there would be more HK equipment there.
"It seems like something one of the drones could do." Tina said.
Lena agreed.
"If we're going to the same location the female Fanatic is at, it will put two drones in close proximity to each other again." Lena said.
CamNet instructed her two Terminators to close on the location for now. So far nothing had been decided as to what would happen.
Beauty With Beauties
There have been more than a few
Who've used beauty as a tool
They leave behind more than a few
Who look like a silly fool
It was the beauty
Who killed the beast
The danger is always
What is expected least
Looks have been known to kill
While blinded by lust
The heart and mind shatter
The soul will implode and combust
Time has proven nothing lasts forever
Beauty is transitory
What once was will diminish
It becomes the end of the story
Until that time arrives
It is easy to forget one's duties
It's easy to become sidetracked
When one shares beauty with beauties
Nobody
