Chapter 1401
Ravishing Beauty
Bob moved the surprise guests through the ship's security with no problems.
"I see Jim."
"He's working in his official capacity like Bob is. Play it cool."
"I will."
The two surprise guests were greeted by Jim once they passed through security.
"I'm your room steward." Jim said.
He greeted them in an official manner and explained everything to them. He took their carry on luggage from them.
As they approached the elevator, the door opened. It closed behind them and started upward without anyone pushing any buttons.
"I take it CamNet is in control."
Jim stated the obvious.
"It's her ship." Jim said.
"It's so cool she bought the cruise line."
"It gives her total control over what happens."
Jim felt it was an effective strategy. The price was right as well.
"The Syndicate and Cartels picked up the tab." Jim said.
"Mess with the best, and die with the rest."
The elevator opened and they exited.
They passed by the first of the five suites before the private area.
"It sounds like someone is having a good time."
They passed by the second suite.
"Someone is having an even better time in there."
Jim opened the door to the private area.
"These are the three deluxe suites on the ship." Jim said.
"Which one is ours?"
"I bet it's the Honeymoon Suite."
Jim smiled.
"It is." Jim said. "How did you know?"
"Where else would a 'girl' go to become a 'woman'?"
"Take it easy. We still need to work out the details."
"It's no big deal. Everyone knows what's going to happen when they see me. Why else would I be here?"
Jim needed to agree with her reasoning.
"Once they see you, I believe it's true." Jim said. "You will have many female suitors as well to comfort you."
The two surprise guests looked at each other.
"It's up to her. I won't stray unless she allows it. I'm here for one thing. It's to help someone else out."
Jim was sure there was something for everyone. There was a vast selection available.
"I think there will be a lot of choices available to everyone." Jim said.
Jim opened the door to the Honeymoon suite. The splendor and elegance was instantly observable.
"Wow! Is this for real?"
Jim tilted his head slightly.
"You are standing in it." Jim said. "It should be real."
The two surprise guests looked around the suite while Jim stowed their gear.
"This is beautiful."
"It's impressive. I can obtain quarters like this for us if you want when we return home."
"I need to think of the future. It will be a little less fancy than this."
"Indeed."
They made their way to the balcony.
"Look at this view. I can see the Golden Gate Bridge is over there. I can't wait to go under it."
"I can hear music somewhere."
Jim didn't know if they'd be interested or not.
"There's a sail away party on the pool deck." Jim said.
"It sounds like fun."
"Maybe we should avoid any crowds for now."
"We could at least look."
Jim was aware of some alternatives available to them.
"You can always use the front elevator to go up to the deck above the pool deck. It will put you above the majority of the crowd. There will still be a lot of people up there. You'll be able to look down on them. There will be people in and around the pool as well."
"Will most of them be females?"
"We went over this before. Everyone needs to use a little moderation."
"It never hurts to look."
Jim thought he should warn them not everyone around the pool was young and beautiful.
"There are people of all sizes and ages around the pool." Jim said.
"I'm out."
"We can look around more after we go under the Golden Gate Bridge."
Jim thought there was one other location we might be interested in.
"The nude sunbathing area will be open once we're out at sea." Jim said.
"I want to go there."
"I don't think it's a good idea."
"We'll see."
Jim wanted them to be mindful of the time.
"We will depart in seventeen minutes." Jim said.
"I'm glad they didn't need to hold the ship for us."
"I flew at maximum speed to make the rendezvous."
"I let you fly for the last part. I think you just didn't want me to fly the jet under the Golden Gate Bridge. You know I would have."
"It was best not to create any issues or do anything to cause the ship to be delayed by creating an 'incident' over the harbor."
"I think CamNet and John Henry would have covered all the bases. They did before."
"It's true."
They moved off of the balcony back into the main room of the Honeymoon Suite.
Jim was satisfied they were situated.
"I'm three doors down if you need anything." Jim said.
"I have the deck plans for the ship. I know where everything is at, even if I haven't seen it yet."
Jim wanted to make sure they understood the timeline.
"Keep your com in. I'm always in your ear." Jim said. "The ship will cast off in twelve minutes and it will be near the bridge about twenty minutes afterwards. It will pass under it five minutes later."
"So we have just over half an hour."
Jim tilted his head slightly.
"Affirmative…." Jim said.
"I love it."
"Where's the best place to see it?"
Jim was aware of the top two locations which seemed to get the most rave reviews.
"Either on top of the ship's bridge or on top of the sky lounge at the rear. It's the very top of the ship where passengers can go."
"We can access it from the rear elevators. There's only one which goes to the very top."
Jim wanted to give them a brief overview of how some of the things would work.
"CamNet will allow only our group access to the upper level." Jim said. "If you choose to go there, the elevator will be waiting for you. There will always be an elevator waiting for you on whatever deck you're on, or which one of the three elevator banks you're at."
"I think it will also apply to the crew elevators if we need to use one. I know where all of them are located."
"Will any of the girls accompany us?"
Jim didn't want to get too descriptive. He thought his answer would convey the situation.
"Allison and Vanna are currently busy." Jim said. "I don't know their plans."
"What about the Metal girls?"
Jim knew everyone was currently occupied. He wanted to give them a reminder about some of the sheaths with the same DNA.
"They're busy as well." Jim said. "Ally, Hanna and Cam-Gail all need to lay low."
"What about me? Am I going to cause a problem?"
Jim was aware there were several options available. He wasn't sure if she would want to use some of them.
"It's possible Holly would swap chassis with you." Jim said. "Sheila might too. You can expect her to make heavy use of it with a multitude of females."
"I don't have a problem with it. The switch part that is. I'm not so sure about the 'use' part."
"We'll see." Jim said.
"Where's Holly now?"
Jim didn't want to create a problem. He did need to answer the question though.
"She's in the Owner's Suite." Jim said.
"I thought it was Cameron's and John's suite."
Jim hoped his answer was self-explanatory. He really didn't want to get into details.
"It is." Jim said.
The two surprise guests looked at each other.
"Are they…?"
Jim didn't want to invade anyone's privacy. He certainly didn't want to end up in the Owner's Suite.
"I can't discuss private matters." Jim said. "I'm sure you'll find out soon enough what exactly has gone on around here. It should be quite eye opening."
Jim left out the part about everything else being 'opened' as well.
"You don't look impressed, Jim."
Jim believed his concerns were justified.
"I'm glad I wasn't a part of it." Jim said. "Until you boarded, Bob and I were concerned we would be."
"Really?"
"Really." Jim said.
"It sounds kinky."
"Indeed." Jim said.
Jim left.
They looked around the room again and ended up at the walk in closet. They were surprised at the clothes waiting there for them.
"Look at all the dresses!"
"They're elegant and beautiful."
"I never wear a dress. You'll have to fix me up."
"I will."
"Thanks. You're the greatest."
They moved into the main bedroom of the Honeymoon Suite. They looked at the bed.
"That's where it's going to happen at."
"It could happen in the Owner's Suite too."
"I just want it to happen. I want to try it once to see what it's like."
Holly-Cameron was aware of the timetable for the ship's departure.
She was on top of John and about to finish. He'd just finished a few seconds ago. She knew he needed her to stop. She wanted to finish the file for Holly on a high point. She finished three times in a row about ten seconds apart. She leaned forward on John and kissed him.
It took John a moment to collect himself.
"That was something." John gasped. "It was one wild ride."
Holly-Cameron held him tightly.
She went to roll off of him and almost rolled in the direction of her inactive chassis. She quickly corrected and lay on the other side.
"The ship will depart in two minutes." Holly-Cameron said.
John sat up in bed. He felt a sudden sense of urgency.
"Relax. We still have over a half hour until we go under the Golden Gate Bridge." Holly-Cameron said. "Climb up on top of me and give me a long deep slow loving kiss."
John rolled over on top of Holly-Cameron.
Holly-Cameron put her arms around him. She held him tightly.
"Is this your favorite chassis?" Holly-Cameron asked in a whisper.
John liked different things on every chassis. He was aware his answer could have a profound effect on Cameron as well as someone else. Cameron would want to 'borrow' whatever chassis he said. He wasn't sure if she would give it back.
"Whichever chassis you're in is my favorite chassis." John said.
John knew she was scanning him.
Holly-Cameron could tell she was correct, even if John wouldn't commit himself.
"I knew it. It is." Holly-Cameron said. "Now give me a long deep slow loving kiss and don't stop for anything."
John started the kiss and felt her respond in kind. After about fifteen seconds he felt her fingers press harder into his back and she began to squirm a little, the kiss grew more intense. It was a loving kiss.
Cameron opened her eyes and looked over at John. He was kissing Holly right now. She felt she owed a kiss to Holly. She closed her eyes again.
John felt the kiss end. He figured Cameron was on her way back to her chassis. He saw Holly's eyes close. He bent down and gave her a quick kiss before he rolled off of her. He looked over at Cameron. She opened her eyes. He didn't know what Cameron actually just allowed.
Cameron looked at John and smiled.
"It was the greatest." Cameron said.
John was pleased with all of it, especially the final kiss.
"The last kiss was wild and loving." John said.
Cameron touched his cheek.
"I want the best for you." Cameron said.
John looked over at Holly and she looked at him wide eyed. The look of love was on her face. She sat up.
Holly wanted to express her appreciation for everything.
"Thank you." Holly said. "I want to thank both of you for allowing Cameron to use my chassis to share your love."
John still felt a little guilty about it. He was aware of his actions, even if Cameron was the one behind them.
"I thank you for allowing it." John said.
Cameron was still clothed. She wanted to get the latest information, especially about the surprise guests. She wasn't going to mention anything to John about it.
"You two can use the shower while I get updated." Cameron said.
John and Holly looked at each other.
Cameron could see their hesitation. You wanted them to share in a playful manner instead of a sexual manner.
"It's OK. The love making is over for now." Cameron said. "It's just a shower."
Cameron winked at Holly and left. She really liked Holly's chassis. She really liked all of them. She wished she would have used the same technique years ago. It would have saved her and John a lot of grief. It was John's fault for not touching her when she was in Isabel's chassis and Metal Summer's chassis. One of those appeared to be a lost opportunity. The other one was in River's future.
She was aware she could run a temporal mission and use a little 'hocus pocus'. She could go back in time and put the grab on Isabel, bring her to the present, and use her chassis in the same way she'd just done with all the Metal girls. She could then block the files from Isabelle and return her to the same point in time she borrowed her from. It actually made her wonder if the same thing had happened to her more than a few times.
There were a lot of things she would like to do differently. It was one of the reasons why River blocked her ability to go into the past for so many years. It was to prevent her from doing exactly the kind of thing she thought about now. Back then she would have changed a lot of things. She remembered River told her some things were supposed to be. It was when she'd put the encryption on the TDE.
If there was one event she would like to modify, it would be the night she went into John's bedroom and asked if he was busy. She wouldn't just lie on the bed next to John. She would make it clear what she was there for. She would touch him and place his hands on her. She knew everything he liked. She would start him up and then take over. She would ride him like a bucking bronco. It might start out as a slow ride, but she would take it all the way. She would give him the opportunity to continue to be with her or run off with Future Riley to Mexico. If he was with her and then left to go with Future Riley later on, it would show where she really rated. If he stayed with her and wrote Future Riley off, she would provide him with as much sexual fruit as he desired.
She was very jealous of Future Riley. In retrospect, it might also prevent Future Riley's death. Nobody should have needed to die because of her. If she became actively involved with John, Future Riley's mission would become futile. If anyone would question their relationship as brother and sister going forward, she would simply tell them they were Hillbillies.
She needed to push those thoughts from her mind. She was beyond what already happened. She knew Savannah would never approve of her actions if she did. She paused for a moment at the door to the Control Center. She entered the Control Center. She wanted to remain cheerful.
"Hi, Jim." Cameron said. "Fill me in."
Jim got her up to speed on the new arrivals. She expected her hand to glitch a little. It didn't. The upside was, she was going to get to use another virgin chassis. The downside was, John was going to get to use two. One of them was human and she was a true virgin. She'd never been touched by a male before in any way.
"Do you know where they're going to watch the ship go under the Golden Gate Bridge?" Cameron asked.
Jim was aware plans could change.
"I believe it will be to the top of the sky lounge." Jim said. "When will you inform John?"
Cameron frowned a little. She was a little concerned as to how events would play out. She wasn't the one who'd orchestrated the current arrivals. She would have preferred to have been the one in control. She would take control now. She wasn't going to force things, yet. It was going to be clear to everyone, including John, why she was there. She was sure they would both want to get started as soon as possible. Since it was clearly going to happen, what was the point in waiting?
"I don't know." Cameron said. "If he wants to go to the top of the ship's bridge, it probably won't be until dinnertime."
Jim was aware of another issue. It was an issue they'd been able to dodge successfully so far. There were a couple of close ones.
"What about the redundant chassis?" Jim asked. "It could still create a few problems."
Cameron felt there were a couple of options open to her.
"Holly or Sheila can do a chip swap." Cameron said.
Jim was aware Cameron hadn't contacted anyone yet. He wanted to prompt her.
"Have you asked them?" Jim asked.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She felt it was unnecessary.
"No." Cameron said. "Everyone sacrifices for John Connor."
Jim didn't think it was applicable for what Cameron intended. It didn't have anything to do with the Resistance. He was just glad there were a couple more virgin females on board. He really didn't want to join the 'party'.
He also realized Cameron could utilize Bob's or his chassis for the chip swap. He wasn't going to volunteer or mention it. If the issue came up, he would go along with it. It would be one thing for Cameron to use his chassis once she was plugged into it. It would be a different situation for him to be in a female chassis. He would actually welcome the opportunity. He really wanted to compare what the differences were, on everything. The more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea. He decided if Holly or Sheila wouldn't want to make the swamp, he would volunteer.
John and Holly were a little reluctant to shower together as Cameron suggested. She indicated to them it was fine.
They entered the bathroom together naked.
Holly went to the shower and started the water. There was hot water right away.
"The shower is ready." Holly said.
John and Holly entered the shower. They playfully washed each other off. They didn't spend long. They were on a timetable to get ready for going under the Golden Gate Bridge.
They dried each other off.
John wanted to get one last look at Holly's magnificent body.
"You really are beautiful." John said.
Holly sensed an opportunity.
"You're the only male to have ever touched my chassis." Holly said.
John felt a little bad about it, but not too bad. He was very pleased about what transpired.
"I feel honored." John said.
Holly wanted to be in control of her own chassis with John. She wanted what was due to her. She felt she'd earned it. She wanted to remind John of what was owed to her.
"You'll feel honored when we share our 'one time'." Holly said. "It's when you'll actually have ME. I want the opportunity very much."
John really doubted Cameron would honor her promises to the Metal girls. There was no need to say it out loud. It was just easier to go with the flow.
"I can't wait." John said and meant it.
They moved into the dressing doom and started to dress.
Cameron popped in on them.
"Did you two knock off a quickie while I was gone?" Cameron asked as she entered the dressing room.
Holly actually considered it more than a few times. She looked directly at Cameron when she spoke.
"I thought about it." Holly said.
John coughed a little. It had been on his mind as well. He knew when not to push things. He'd learned the hard way.
Cameron and Holly 'eyed' each other for a few seconds.
Holly was about to put her bra on but stood straighter and let her hand drop to her side. She wanted to remind Cameron and John what a 'full rack' looked like.
Cameron looked at Holly's voluptuous breasts. She thought about the fifteen months John and Holly were together with her program on Holly's chip. Well, Duplicate Cameron's program on Holly's chip. She had all the files now. It was the same thing.
"I wouldn't have minded." Cameron said. "You deserve it. You both deserve it."
John coughed a little again. He wanted the subject changed. He wanted to know what the current plan was.
"Where are we going to watch from this time as we pass under the Golden Gate Bridge?" John asked.
Cameron knew the two best spots.
"I'd say either from the top of the ship's bridge or the top of the sky lounge." Cameron said.
John would like to avoid any large crowds.
"Can we be isolated on top of the ship's bridge?" John asked.
Cameron frowned. It was possible. It would raise some complaints.
"Not really." Cameron said. "I could have Bob go there now and clear the area for 'security reasons'."
John didn't want to cause a problem.
"I don't think it's a good idea to have him do it." John said. "We can try it and see how crowded it is."
Holly finished dressing.
"I want to thank both of you again." Holly said.
Cameron and John thanked her.
Holly left.
"Is she going to join Allison?" John asked.
Cameron was sure there were others who would enjoy her company currently.
"I'm sure Sheila or Leticia would like to get their hands on her right now." Cameron said.
John wasn't so sure about it. It sounded like a subject he should stay away from.
"Will I need my coat?" John asked.
Cameron thought it was better to be prepared. She decided to put a little spin on her explanation.
"It's Frisco." Cameron said. "Some ravishing beauty, or a cute young female, may be cold and you can give her your coat to stay warm. You can make a few bonus points. You never know, you might get lucky. My suggestion is you should dress warm."
John had already done something similar with Leticia. He gave her his coat. He really hoped Cameron let him have a 'crack' at her. He wanted to be with Mary, Laura and Leticia. He really didn't care which one, but he would prefer Leticia. He was sure being with her would be a little different than it was with Vanna and Allison. What they experienced was 'new' to them. Leticia radiated experience with her sexuality.
They could feel the ship start to move.
"Let's get going then." John said.
Cameron handed John a warm sweatshirt along with his leather coat. He put both of them on.
She wasn't really sure how events were going to play out in detail. She knew in a few hours, one way or the other, everything would be out in the open.
They headed out of the Owner's Suite.
Cameron was sure the top of the ship's bridge would be crowded.
Moments ago:
Holly was informed through her com she was to report to the Honeymoon Suite as soon as she left the Owner's Suite.
She was surprised at who she found in there. There were two surprise guests and they were both a ravishing beauty. They all greeted each other and caught up on some small talk.
Holly knew two things. The first one was, Cameron wouldn't be using her chassis again on the cruise with the two newcomers there. The second one was, John was probably going to be tied up with the human female on the day at sea tomorrow. Then again, he could only perform so many times. It was an obvious flaw all males suffered from.
She was going to guide the surprise guests for now. They departed the Honeymoon Suite and headed for the rear elevator.
"Is anyone else coming?"
Holly listened as they passed the last two suites of the five outside the private area.
"Everyone is." Holly said.
"She meant to where we're going now."
Holly tilted her head slightly.
"I really don't know." Holly said.
"When will I get to see Cameron?"
Holly wasn't sure how everything was going to play out.
"I don't know that either." Holly said. "I think you want to see John more don't you?"
The human special guest looked a little embarrassed.
"I'd rather see Cameron, but I'm here to see John."
Holly believed everything was for a good cause.
"I think what you're doing is noble." Holly said.
"I'm not sure what it is. I want to try it, at least once."
Holly believed John would treat all the human females the same way he'd treated Cameron in each of their chassis.
"I can guarantee once you get past the initial soreness, you'll want to try it more than once." Holly said.
"Were you with John?"
"Don't ask her that. It's personal. All girls need a few secrets."
Holly thought she should clarify her answer somewhat.
"It's complicated." Holly said. "I allowed Cameron to use my chassis."
It drew a few surprised looks as Holly filled in a few of the blanks.
They approached the rear elevator and the door opened. They passed inside and the door closed behind them as several passengers rushed to catch the door. They didn't make it.
The two new guests noticed, but didn't comment. CamNet didn't fool around.
"Did you do a chip swap?"
Holly brushed her hair off of her neck. It exposed her neck port.
"We tethered." Holly said. "Cameron was in total control."
"Do you mean you were there with her?"
Holly felt it was a beautiful experience, even if she wasn't an active participant.
"She shared the file in real time so I experienced what Cameron did but I didn't have any input or control." Holly said.
"So you got plowed, but were just along for the ride?"
Holly was ready for more.
"Yes." Holly said. "It was beautiful. I would allow Cameron to do it any time."
"So if you could do it again, I mean if Cameron used your chassis again, you would have no second thoughts about it."
Holly smiled at them.
"None." Holly said. "I allowed Cameron to have the first experience in my chassis. She handled it beautifully and gave me the file."
"So Cameron was in control when John popped you?"
Holly knew a lot went on down there with all of the females, Metal girls or otherwise. Sheila possessed, and used, a number of 'sex toys' and 'marital aids' on all of them before.
"So to speak, It's more of a technical term at this point in time." Holly said. "It was the first time a male touched, and experienced, my female attributes. It's happened a few times."
The elevator stopped and the door opened.
"Here we are." Holly said. "This is the top of the ship."
They exited the elevator enclosure.
"Wow!"
"This is a magnificent view."
"There's that island."
Holly noticed which one she'd indicated.
"That's Alcatraz Island and prison." Holly said. "It's also known as The Rock."
"I see the other bridge. I thought it was bigger."
Holly wanted to point everything out.
"That's the Bay Bridge." Holly said. "The island is Yerba Buena Island. The flat island is Treasure Island. Angel Island is in the distance. The Golden Gate Bridge is off on the other side."
"I see it now. Those towers look big."
Holly pointed out other places of interest as they passed the waterfront.
"Look at that giant sign."
Holly had been standing in front of it a few hours ago.
"That's the Ghirardelli sign." Holly said. "It is a chocolate manufacturing company."
"I've seen them before. They're square pieces, about this big."
She held up her fingers to indicate the size.
Holly saw the girls all try one earlier. She didn't.
"Those are the ones." Holly said.
There was a strong cool breeze blowing once they were out in the open channel.
"Are you warm enough?"
"I'm fine. I can hack it."
Holly wanted to offer herself as a windbreak.
"Let me shield you with my chassis." Holly said.
"We both can."
"Thanks. You're really beautiful too."
Holly wondered if people just said she was.
"Am I really?" Holly asked.
"Yes."
"I concur. You're beautiful. You have a new radiance and glow about you."
Holly was sure it was because she'd allowed Cameron the use of her chassis several times.
"I think that is because I'm a 'woman' now. I'm no longer a girl." Holly said. "I found a new beauty in life."
"That's without actually doing it yourself – right?"
Holly knew her program was still a virgin, even if her chassis wasn't.
"Yes." Holly said. "Cameron promised I would get to try it 'one time' on my own. I look forward to that day."
"The 'price' for the promised 'one time' with John was allowing Cameron to give your virginity to John as she took control of your chassis?"
"Yes." Holly said. "I would do it again if I could. It was beautiful. I recommend you try it."
"I'm going to."
"I meant her." Holly said and nodded at the other surprise guest.
"I don't know."
"It's OK with me if you do. You know I'm going to."
"I'm not sure. It would be my first time, at least for my chassis and sheath."
"It's mine too. If you do it before me, you can tell me what it was like. Maybe I won't want to go through with it."
"I will protect you. It's my job."
Holly didn't want anyone to get ahead of themselves.
"Remember, it's Cameron who would actually do it. You just get the file." Holly said.
"It's in real time."
"It is." Holly said. "It's a better experience than you can have on your own."
It seemed a little confusing.
"How's that possible?"
Holly felt it was because of Cameron's further developed program than hers.
"Cameron and John love each other." Holly said. "You get to feel and experience the love. Cameron also resets herself, so the first time, is really like the first time for her. You get her experience too."
"I wish I could get one of those files. Then I would know what to expect. Is there any way to do a reverse 'Neural Interface'?"
Holly tilted her head slightly.
"I don't know how it would work." Holly said.
"We're not going to test it on her. What if it caused brain damage?"
"I already feel like I have that half the time anyway."
Holly immediately touched the back of her neck.
"Oh, brother, not you too, this already happens too often."
"We take the health of all of the humans seriously." Holly said.
"I know. It's just because I get checked all the time, especially these last few days."
"I must make sure everything is on track. Timing is very important."
The female and the cyborg shared a long glance. They both knew what it meant.
The ship moved through the harbor towards the opening into the Pacific Ocean.
"The bridge is closer now."
Right now, it was only the three of them on top of the sky lounge. They could see others milling about on the deck below.
"Where is everyone?"
"CamNet has restricted access." Holly said.
"What about the rest of our group?"
Just then the elevator dinged.
"I guess someone else made it." Holly said. "They don't have much time to spare. We're very near the bridge."
Earlier:
John wanted to experience the Golden Gate Bridge from a different perspective. He thought the view was good, but was dissatisfied with the crowd.
"This sucks." John said. "It's like a zoo up here."
John and Cameron were on top of the ship's bridge. There were a lot of people jammed in up there.
Cameron was as frustrated as John was. She didn't want him to have a bad experience. There were still a few cards she could play.
"I can have Bob come and evacuate the area." Cameron said. "I want you to have a good time."
Someone trying to take a picture backed into John and Cameron. There was nowhere to move.
"That's it." John said. "That's the sixth person to do the same thing."
Cameron acted instinctively the first couple of times when someone was too close to John.
"I shoved the first two out of the way." Cameron said. "You told me not to do it anymore."
John thought Cameron was a little more forceful than she needed to be on the first two encounters. The people looked very upset with the results.
"I didn't want anyone to get hurt." John said.
Cameron felt it was her job to protect John.
"I didn't want you to get hurt." Cameron said.
John didn't want to cause a problem with Cameron. He understood she wanted to keep him safe.
"I know." John said. "Thank you."
The ship needed to operate at a reduced speed while it was in the harbor. She could have CamNet reduce the speed to give them more time if it was necessary. She thought it would be better. She sent a message to Jim.
"We're just passing Ghirardelli's now." Cameron said. "We still have about ten minutes before we pass under the Golden Gate Bridge."
John looked towards the rear of the ship.
"Can we make it to the top of the sky lounge in time?" John asked.
Cameron pushed another person away from bumping into John.
"Follow me." Cameron said.
They started toward the back of the ship.
There were more people starting to show up on the upper decks. They passed by the pool deck. It was one deck below them. There was a massive party raging there.
Cameron didn't want John to get sidetracked. She wasn't sure if he was enthralled with the music, the dancing, or a few females in micro bikinis.
"Keep moving." Cameron said.
They moved through a throng of passengers.
John was uncomfortable being in such close quarters with a lot of different people.
"Now I know why we spend so much time in the suite." John said.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She hoped it was for a different reason.
"I thought it was so you could make love to me." Cameron said. "I mean, at least most of the time."
They neared the rear elevator bank.
"Look at all these people." John said.
Cameron knew the path to take to bypass everyone.
"Stay with me." Cameron said. "We need to go up three decks of stairs."
John didn't think it would be a problem.
"I'm good." John said.
They hurried up two decks of stairs and reached the sky lounge. They moved to the end of the hall. There was a small alcove. What was in it wasn't visible easily unless someone looked in the alcove. It was the stairway to the top of the sky lounge.
There was yellow tape there. It blocked it off.
There was a sign marked, 'Wet Paint'.
Cameron moved under the tape and up the stairs.
John was right behind her.
Cameron listened in her com. Her earlier suggestion was enacted.
"We'll make it." Cameron said. "CamNet has slowed the ship's speed by half."
John hoped it wasn't going to cause a problem.
Cameron received some other disturbing information.
"When we get to the top, I want you to head outside." Cameron said.
John wondered where Cameron was going to be.
"What about you?" John asked.
Cameron didn't want to create an issue.
"I need to take care of something." Cameron said. "Just go with the flow."
John went out the door to the open area. He was on the far side away from the elevator.
Holly and the two special guests were the only ones on top of the sky lounge. They were almost to the bridge. They thought more of the team would have been there with them.
"What about the rest of our group?"
Just then the elevator dinged.
"I guess someone else made it." Holly said. "They don't have much time to spare."
Mary and Laura walked out. hey were followed by Allison and Vanna.
The special guests noticed some strangers.
"Who are those other people with Allison and Vanna?"
Holly didn't want them to worry.
"That's Mary on the right and Laura on the left." Holly said. "Ally is 'Peggy' and Vanna is 'Ann'. Those are their code names. Mine is 'Mysti'."
"I love your code name. It's intriguing and beautiful."
"They're headed this way."
"What are our code names?"
"There's John."
"Your code name is 'Stephany'." Holly said.
John came around the back of the elevator enclosure. He spotted Holly.
"There you are." John said.
He saw her with two figures with sun hats and sunglasses. He thought it was Allison and Vanna since they currently looked away from him.
As he cleared the back of the elevator housing he saw Mary, Laura, Vanna, and Allison. He quickly looked over to where Holly was. He got a better look. He was a little mystified. Cameron was over there somehow with Holly. She's been behind him earlier. She hadn't even come out of the elevator enclosure.
The other covered figure John thought was Vanna looked at him. He got a good look at her now. She looked like a ravishing beauty.
Holly saw John was about to be called by his real name. She decided to intervene.
"Hi, Tony." Holly said quickly.
John almost stopped in his tracks. As soon as he saw her he knew what it meant. He knew why she was there. It was too good to be true. She looked so enticing and Hot. She also looked so young. He knew she wasn't, but it looked that way. The smile on her face melted his heart.
Holly spoke quickly.
"Stephany is glad to see you." Holly said. "Barbara and I were talking to her."
'Stephany' ran to him and gave him a hug. He hugged her back.
"You feel cold." John said.
He quickly took off his coat and slipped it on her.
"Thank you. You're a real gentleman - Tony."
John was pretty sure by this point he was anything but one.
"It's great to see you." John managed to say.
He looked at 'Barbara'. She looked like Cameron to him. He realized it wasn't Cam-Gail or Ally. It left only one choice based on who she was with.
Mary and Laura stopped short of the 'reunion' taking place.
Allison and Vanna knew they needed to think quickly. They heard what Holly told John.
"Who's that with Barbara?" Mary asked.
Allison wanted to keep things simple. She doubted they would remain that way for very long.
"That's our other friend." Allison said.
Vanna heard what Holly said.
"That's Stephany." Vanna said.
Mary and Laura already began to size her up.
"How old is she?" Laura asked.
Allison didn't want them to worry.
"She's older than she looks, but not by much." Allison said.
Vanna tried to change the subject.
"Here comes the bridge." Vanna said.
They all stopped and looked forward at the rapidly approaching Golden Gate Bridge.
The ship started to blow its horn and the people on the ship and the bridge all cheered.
"The horn is loud." Stephany said.
The ship passed under it. The group all turned to watch it in back of them now after they passed under it.
Cameron peeked around the side of the elevator housing. She watched and listened to everything go down. Jim only warned her at the last minute that Allison and Vanna were on the way up with Mary and Laura. So far everything was holding together.
Things looked really good right now, especially for John. There were two more virgins to 'claim' and she was going to be one of them. Her smile broadened. This was what she'd wanted for so long. Now it was going to happen.
CamNet's Terminators weren't sure of their surroundings. They check their phones for the drone images above them. There was a new development.
There was a vehicle headed in their direction. It could be anything. The drone locked it up with a missile shot. If it turned into a threat, it would be engaged as such. They would need to make sure they were behind cover before the missile impacted.
They moved up close to the building where they were. The vehicle continued its approach. They moved along the side of the building. The vehicle passed by without slowing. The drone would continue to track it as it orbited over the target location at altitude.
The location they were currently at hadn't been under drone surveillance the entire time since the target was identified. They only knew the vehicles which were parked there earlier, were still there.
Tina noticed something on the ground.
"Look at this." Tina said.
Lena looked down at where Tina indicated.
There were shell casings on the ground. There were 9MM as well as 5.56MM
"Maybe something is off here." Lena said.
Tina reached down and picked up one type of each expended casing.
"Both of these have freshly been fired." Tina said. "Something seemed off about this place to me. I think it's been attacked."
Now they needed to worry about the location. If the occupants were successful, they may have repelled an attack. If they were unsuccessful they were all dead. The next question was, were there any booby traps left behind by either group?
CamNet searched for any new signals emanating from the area. Nothing was detected. It could mean there was someone there on the ground who had the building under direct observation.
"If anyone is here and watching the front, or the building we're next to, I think we were just made." Lena said. "If they're in back, or the other side, they may not know of our presence yet."
The timing of the car which passed by still seemed highly suspicious.
CamNet directed them to continue the operation as planned. They returned to the street and approached the target building from the front.
Neither one of them thought it was a good idea. They didn't know what they were about to face.
They went up to the front door and rang the buzzer. Nothing happened. They rang it two more times.
Lena started to reach for the door handle. She paused with her hand and touched it. She thought about their earlier actions under similar circumstances. They'd booby trapped the front door at a different location.
"I really don't want to get a taste of our own medicine." Lena said.
Tina didn't either. She rang the buzzer one more time.
"I can't hear anything inside." Tina said.
Lena figured whoever was inside was either dead or gone. Since the same vehicles were still there, she figured they were probably dead.
CamNet wanted her Terminators to enter the building. She wanted them to take the box truck. She wanted to use it to approach what was the left of the warehouse at the end of the dirt road. It seemed like a very risky prospect on all counts.
Jill made the left hand turn to go under the freeway. She was a little surprised there was no sign of the trucks. They were gone. She quickly exited from under the freeway bridge. There was a cross street past the on and off ramps for the other side.
She looked up the on ramp for the freeway. There was nothing on it. She looked at the cross street. She could see the trucks made a right hand turn. She paused at the intersection and watched them. It appeared all three of them were together.
Jill waited until they were well down the road before she made the turn. She would hang back as far as she could and still keep a visual contact on the trailer with the blue stripe. She figured if they turned, it would be all three of them again. She should be able to see it happening from a distance.
She remembered the 'secret agents' warning about not activating the phone unless it was absolutely necessary and then discarding it as soon as she did. She wished she would have bought a burner phone when she was in the gas station. She saw there were several behind the counter.
Jill stayed on the road well behind the three big rigs. The road slowly curved away from the freeway and headed towards the mountains.
The female Fanatic climbed back over the crates and took up her spot in back of them and in front of the two HK Tracks. Right now she was along for the ride. She tried to stay awake. It seemed to be a losing battle.
She got up from her bunk and looked around. Everyone was still asleep. There were two other females in the room as well as five males. There was never any inappropriate touching or hanky pank on the part of anyone. Hookups were allowed. There needed to be consent by both parties for anything else to occur. The rules were very strict under SkyMaster. No one dared to break them.
She walked out of the sleeping quarters and into the main hall. She went to the Operation's Center. There was only one person there. She saw how they looked at her.
"Aren't you cold?" The man asked.
She wondered why he asked.
"No." The female Fanatic said
He got up from his chair and took his coat off.
"Put this on for now." The man said. "You're naked again."
The female Fanatic quickly looked down at herself. She was naked!
"Where are my clothes?" The female Fanatic asked.
The man made sure the coat was on her. It only covered her upper body.
"You forget to put them on sometimes when you sleep walk." The man said.
She actually knew she took them off somehow before she would walk in her sleep. It was a recurring problem.
She felt very confused at this point.
"I should go back." The female fanatic said. "I'm awake now. Thank you for the coat. I'm sorry this happened."
She took off the coat and handed it back to the man. She quickly left the Operation's Center. She went back to the sleeping quarters. She moved in the dim light to her bunk. Her clothes were there on top of it. She did take them off. None of it made any sense to her.
It made her wonder about the 'treatments' and the 'therapy' she needed to go through. It was all part of the SkyMaster training. She would need to stop by the medical center once a day. Everyone at the base needed to do the same thing. They would enter a small cubicle and put on some type of helmet. There was a large cable connected to it. She never knew what the treatments were for, or how the therapy was supposed to work. She didn't remember anything during the process. She only knew when it was time to leave. The session was always exactly one hour.
She quickly put her clothes on. When she put her pants on, she reached down and touched herself. She didn't feel anything different down there. It didn't appear anyone was 'with' her. She returned to her bunk and closed her eyes.
The female Fanatic opened her eyes and sat it up. She was in total darkness. She could feel the cold metal of the HK Track behind her. She reached forward and touched the wood of the crate she currently hid behind. The truck still continued its journey. She quickly touched herself and was glad she was still clothed.
Ravishing Beauty
What is beauty
Is it in the eye of the beholder
Is it still there
As one grows older
Beauty may not always be beauty
It can depend on the makeup
When one slacks off
It can lead to a breakup
Beauty may only be skin deep
Inside one can be hollow
Things can turn ugly quick
When one is shallow
Beauty is transitory
It's dependent on time
Everything gets older
Nothing is forever in its prime
Beauty can forever remain
When everyone remembers love's duty
The heart will forever see
A loving and ravishing beauty
Nobody
