Chapter 1455


I Want To Wear That


Young Allison wanted to keep tabs on the brown car. She also didn't want to lose focus on any of the other locations they watched and kept track of. All of their personnel were back at the base or on their assignments. Richard and Michael were still at the port and Larry and Hank were on an intercept course for the brown car. There were drones which watched over all the other locations from altitude.

"What is the intercept ETA for Hank and Larry?" Young Allison asked.

Anna checked the time. She knew they were still some options open to them.

"It's approximately thirty minutes." Anna said. "Richard and Michael can still intercept them earlier since they're closer."

Young Allison still wasn't convinced they were done with the port area yet. The brown sedan was proof of it. It also might be another can of worms they'd opened. She wasn't looking for a fight with any terrorist groups, but she wouldn't back away from one either. Fanatics were fanatics whatever the 'cause' was.

She quietly checked with CamNet in an 'eyes only' message. She wanted to know about spreading Cobalt radiation over the areas where terrorists were known to inhabit in foreign nations. It should render those locations deadly for a long time. The terrorists, and maybe their families, would pass through the areas and become contaminated. It should wipe out a generation of terrorists from some regions.

CamNet said she would work on a delivery method other than a C-Bomb. Maybe a 'dirty bomb' which used Cobalt radiation would be the best method of deployment though certain mountain passes. The use of standard radiation wouldn't be a problem. It could serve as an interim measure until more lethal radiation could be salted.

Terrorists from populated areas would be harder to exterminate. They tended to congregate in cells. She instructed CamNet to see if she could get them to attack each other. CamNet thought so. She could also 'borrow' missiles from neighboring nations to use against specific targets. She would try to make sure it was a nation who sponsored terrorists who got the rap pinned on it. There were several which stood out.

It made her wonder who would stand up to the troublemakers in the world. It appeared everyone was spineless when push came to shove. She wasn't spineless. If someone wanted a fight, she would give it to them. The difference was, it would be on her terms. Individuals who were stuck in the past, and didn't recognize the progress of modern society, would learn what the future was about soon enough. The threat of Skynet loomed everywhere.

Anna knew Young Allison was up to something. She was sure it wouldn't be anything good. She was aware Young Allison didn't like half-measures. She liked to take things full throttle.

"What are you doing?" Anna asked.

She'd watched Young Allison communicating with CamNet for a long time.

Young Alison didn't think it was a big deal. She was a steward of the future. The safety of the future didn't get done by thinking about it.

"I'm protecting the future." Young Allison said. "Skynet isn't the only threat."

Anna was well aware of the 'war' Young Allison started between the Syndicate and the Cartels. On top of it, she was able to get CamNet to make them fight amongst themselves internally too. It was a very bloody and ruthless endeavor. Thousands were dead by now and it was only a short time since she'd started the process.

"Don't overreach." Anna said. "Every action has a reaction."

Young Allison looked at the burnt out port building and the brown car.

"I guess it does." Young Allison said. "I guess it all comes down to who is willing to hit the hardest, the most, and the longest."

She was willing to have CamNet strike with a maximum effort response if it was necessary. One defeated their enemies by exterminating them. Any 'peace' overtures only delayed the inevitable.

Young Allison finished up her instructions with CamNet and turned her attention to the security cameras around the Resistance base. It seemed there were a few things to follow there.

Anna noted what some of Young Allison's screens were now focused on.

"Don't even say it." Young Allison said. "I do know better. I can walk and chew gum at the same time too."

Young Allison looked forward to the day when she would be a part of it all. She thought it would be soon.


Cameron paused by Savannah's door and listened. She was filled with a sudden urge to enter and join Savannah in bed. She'd allowed John to have a 'great honeymoon', maybe she could too. She remembered how close she was to pleasuring Leticia on the ship. She'd gotten caught up in the moment and couldn't stop herself. If Leticia hadn't 'gone out' again, she would have. Everything was right there in front of her face, 'it called to her'.

Now she was stimulated thinking about the whole thing.

She opened the door and looked in on Savannah anyway. She could see her peacefully asleep in her bed.

"Join her." Sheila said.

Cameron looked back and closed the door. She liked what she saw. It reminded her of the good times on the ship.

"Hi, Sheila." Cameron said. "You look Hot."

Sheila really wanted Cameron to move her life forward. She didn't want her to remain frustrated. She wanted her to experience what she truly desired.

"Join her, Cameron." Sheila said. "You won't regret it. She loves you dearly. It will open your eyes and your heart to a whole new world."

Cameron could picture it.

"I want to." Cameron said.

Sheila indicated her skimpy maid's outfit. She thought it would liven things up a little in Savannah's room if Cameron put it on. She was more than willing to strip naked in the hallway.

"Here let me take this off and you can wear it." Sheila said. "It will be a surprise and a thrill for Savannah."

Cameron thought about it. She didn't like all the action Savannah needed to face. There was more which occurred than she knew about. She would find out tomorrow what it was. She wanted Savannah to rest up.

"I need to let her sleep tonight." Cameron said. "She's been through a rough week."

Sheila looked around. She wanted to make her desire known. She'd already told Cameron before. She didn't think a little reminder would hurt.

"Remember, when you're ready for a Metal girl, I want to be your first." Sheila said. "I was the first to allow you to be 'someone different'."

Sheila's statement made Cameron wonder how much Sheila wanted the honor. She knew something Sheila wanted very much. She would test her.

"Would you give up your 'one time' with John for the privilege?" Cameron asked.

Sheila didn't even need to think about it.

"Yes." Sheila said. "I feel you'll still honor your promise to me for taking my virginity. I'd still like my own 'first time'. I really don't think one time will hurt anything."

Cameron really didn't know if there would only be 'one time' with the Metal girls. She didn't know if there could ever be a 'one time' with anyone. As long as it was something everyone wanted to do, and enjoyed doing it, 'one time' was hard to maintain. She didn't want John to ever be lonely again in her absence.

"We'll see." Cameron said.

Sheila wanted to point out another thing Cameron set up before.

"Besides, if John ever asks us, we literally can't say 'No'. You put it in all of our programming."

Cameron wondered if maybe she'd better rethink her earlier decision. She also remembered John never took advantage of the option. There were multiple times when he could have but he never did. He stuck to 'Rosie' and loneliness, rather than compromise the integrity of the Metal girls.

Sheila went off in search of Cammy.

Cameron continued on to Allison's room.

As she neared Jesse's room, she noticed the door wasn't closed tight. It usually wasn't. It was an 'open invitation' for anyone to enter and join in.

She paused and looked inside. Jesse and Claire were together. She watched them for a few minutes before she moved on. She really wanted to get them in John's bed. If Samantha backed out, she would come and get Jesse or Claire. She still didn't know Jesse already was with John earlier in the day.

She arrived at Vanna's and Allison's room. She listened. Samantha and Allison were in there. It sounded like they were well into it. Samantha wasn't supposed to be sexually active once Riley and Derek were back. How could she deny Samantha her last few hours as a virgin? She smiled at the thought of delivering another virgin Metal girl's chassis to John. It was still the last day of their honeymoon. She'd promised John the 'best honeymoon ever' and she planned to deliver it. It would be nine virgin Metal girls and all of them were 'her'. She'd been the one in control. There were also the others. There was one human virgin and two technical human virgins. It left Anna and CamNet to deflower. It also left Savannah and Young Allison.

Cameron hadn't been this happy in a long time. She wanted John to have the best honeymoon ever. She really hoped she'd delivered.


Samantha and Allison finished up. Samantha wanted to be ready for her next 'assignment'. She wanted to make sure the coast was clear before she went out into the hall. She didn't want Riley to see her coming out of one of the girl's rooms. She asked Allison to check for her.

Allison opened her room door and Cameron was standing there with a giant smile on her face. She didn't move or do anything. She looked at Cameron who appeared to be in a daze.

Samantha moved up behind Allison and looked too.

Allison waved her hand back and forth in front of Cameron's face. Nothing happened.

"Cameron." Allison said.

Cameron still stood there with a giant smile on her face.

"Cameron!" Allison said again.

Allison snapped her fingers twice in Cameron's face and waived her palm back and forth in front of her eyes again. She'd witnessed the type of behavior before. It usually indicated there was a problem. She glanced back at Samantha.

"She's 'out to lunch'." Allison said.

Samantha reached past Allison and touched Cameron. She shook her shoulder.

Cameron blinked twice and the smile faded from her face. She tilted her head slightly when she realized Allison and Samantha were standing right in front of her. Allison was naked but Samantha was dressed. She wondered when it happened. They were still involved just a few seconds ago when she arrived.

Wait.

She quickly replayed her files and found out that she'd been standing there for twelve minutes and three seconds. She wondered what happened to those missing minutes. There was no recollection of anything but listening to Allison and Samantha. She didn't want to dwell on it.

"Hi." Cameron said. "I just came by to check on Samantha."

Allison knew what was in store for Samantha. She still found it somewhat uneasy to think about. She tried to make a joke about it.

"I got her chassis all warmed up for you." Allison said.

Samantha was afraid Cameron was going to chastise her for her violation of Cameron's policy of 'hands off' when Derek and Riley were back. She didn't want there to be a scene in front of Allison. She figured she should volunteer immediately for what she knew was coming.

"I'm ready to go when you want me." Samantha said.

Cameron wasn't sure how to play it. She wanted to make it a little more than just a sexual union. She tried to think of the best way to do it.

"We can converse with John for a little bit if you want. I think he'd like it. I would too. Maybe you can show up in five to ten minutes." Cameron said. "We don't need to start anything right away. I want everyone to be comfortable with each other."

Samantha was a little anxious. She didn't know what to expect. She'd spied on Derek and Riley dozens or times. This would be Cameron in control of her chassis. This would be the real deal. She would just be along for the ride. She looked down at her clothing.

"How should I dress?" Samantha asked.

Cameron thought about how Cammy appeared. It showed a certain sense of style. She knew where there was similar attire waiting for Samantha.

"There should be a nice evening gown in Claire's room if you want to dress up." Cameron said. "It will fit you perfectly."

Samantha never really dressed up before.

"I don't know." Samantha said. "I don't have any experience."

There was some movement behind Cameron.

"I'll help her." Claire said.

Allison peeked around Cameron and saw her mother there.

She was only wearing a bathrobe from the ship. It looked like everyone souvenired one.

Allison looked down at her naked figure. She wanted to help as well. She figured since her mother was standing there, she should probably put something on. She went and grabbed her bathrobe. She hoped she didn't look like a suburban housewife. It was always the image which crept into her head.

"I'll help her too." Allison said. "Samantha will look beautiful."

Claire and Allison led Samantha away.

Cameron wanted to give John some time to get back in shape. She didn't want anyone to rush things. She especially didn't want John to under perform. She wanted another good experience on her 'first time'. It would be in Samantha's chassis this time.

"You can take longer if you need to." Cameron said. "A half hour is good if you need it."

Allison looked back over her shoulder.

"Thanks." Allison said as they disappeared around the corner.

Cameron watched them go. She needed to get John ready. She really wondered about the 'missing' twelve minutes'.

She shrugged her shoulders.

'It happens.' Cameron thought.


Twelve minutes ago:

Sheila hurried to John and Cameron's room after she'd encountered Cameron on the way there. She reached the room and listened. There was a shower running. There was some giggling in the background. She looked around to make sure no one was around and entered the room.

It was clear John and Cammy were both in the shower. She moved up and peeked inside. They turned off the water and got out. They both laughed and played around. John handed Cammy a towel and they dried off. They finished by drying each other's backs off. They playfully didn't miss the front either.

Sheila retreated to the door and knocked. She opened it two inches and closed it loudly.

John peeked around the corner of the bathroom.

"Housekeeping…." Sheila called out loudly. "Did someone need room service?"

Cammy popped out in back of John. She immediately liked what she saw in person.

"Wow!" Cammy said. "Your outfit looks Hot."

Sheila liked what she saw on Cammy even better.

"Your outfit isn't bad either." Sheila said.

Cammy looked down. She was naked. She only held the towel in her hand.

Sheila made a show of facing away from them and bending down. Everything was on display.

Cammy was hooked. She knew exactly what she wanted to do with the outfit.

"I want to wear that." Cammy said. "I want Savannah to see me in it."

John remembered what Cameron looked like wearing it. He would like to see Cammy in it as well. He thought he'd better put some clothes on before Cameron came back. He'd played around with Cammy too much in the shower already. They didn't do anything too inappropriate.

He heard Sheila and Cammy talk with each other as he threw on his undershorts and his pants. He'd grabbed the closest pair of pants which were his suit pants. He went back out and Sheila and Cammy looked like they were ready to leave.

Sheila looked at him and smiled.

"I'd stay for my 'one time', but I don't think you'd be able to deliver for a while yet." Sheila said. "Cammy said Cameron really gave her chassis and your body a workout."

There was a giant smile on Cammy's face. She wanted her 'one time', but she would take what she could get. She wasn't going to let anything slip through her fingers if possible.

"It was wonderful." Cammy said. "I can't wait to do it again. I don't care if it's Cameron who does it for me either. I still want what was promised me at some point."

John noticed Cammy was still naked.

"Were you going to get dressed?" John asked.

Cammy looked at Sheila and smiled. She didn't see any point in getting dressed. Her clothes would just need to come off again.

"No." Cammy said. "Sheila wants to give me a once over."

John wasn't really sure what all it involved. He thought it was best not to ask.

"OK." John said.

Cammy collected her dress and jewelry. He was a little surprised when she handed her dress to Sheila. She put on her jewelry and slipped her high heels on. She was naked otherwise. It was quite a sight to behold.

He tried to decide if he liked Cammy's 'outfit' better or Sheila's maid's outfit.

Cammy came over to John and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She wanted to show her appreciation. She also wanted to remind him what was owed to her.

"Thanks for everything, John." Cammy said. "Don't forget my 'one time' either. I know Cameron will. I know you won't. I plan to collect."

Sheila gave him a kiss on the other cheek. She wanted what was due her.

"Ditto…." Sheila said. "She'll 'forget'. We won't"

John looked forward to his 'one time' to plow each of the Metal girls on what would be their real 'first time'.

"I'll remind her a deal is a deal." John said.

He actually thought it was a subject for Cameron to bring up on her own first. He didn't want to seem greedy or pushy. It was only going to happen if Cameron wanted it to happen anyway. He would take what he could get, if and when it occurred.

Sheila and Cammy headed for the door. John sure hoped Summer and Jan were in bed already. He also hoped they didn't run into Cameron.

Cammy turned back and blew him a kiss before she went out. Sheila bent over facing away from and did the same as she turned her head back.

Sheila wanted to remind John about something very important. It was something she'd reminded Cameron about a few minutes ago as well.

"Remember, if you ask us, we can't say 'No'." Sheila said.

The door closed behind them.

John needed to take it all in. Cameron would be back pretty soon with Samantha. He noticed an espresso and a hot chocolate sitting on the counter. He quickly drank the espresso.

'It tastes awful.' John thought. 'Battery acid must taste like this.'

He quickly drank the hot chocolate.

'This is more like it.' John thought. 'This stuff tastes good.'

He wondered how some of Samantha's various sheath components would be. He would know exactly what Claire was going to look like when he was with her. He didn't know when it would be, but he knew it was going to be soon. He really looked forward to the upcoming encounter. He smiled as he thought of the events to come.


Sheila told Cammy what she wanted.

Cammy was a little self conscious about the recent events.

"Are you sure?" Cammy asked.

Sheila smiled.

"It's what I want." Sheila said.

Cammy still wasn't sure about Sheila 'taking care of her' so soon after she was with John. Well, since Cameron was with John in her chassis.

Cameron walked around the corner. She took in Cammy's naked form. She liked the look. She remembered looking in the mirror on the ship attired exactly the same way. It was high heels, jewelry and nothing else.

"Nice night for a walk." Cameron said.

Sheila ran her hand over the curves on Cammy's sheath.

"I'll say." Sheila said.

Cammy giggled.

Cameron wanted to toss them another bone.

"Jesse is alone in her room right now." Cameron said.

Cammy and Sheila looked at each other.

"Thanks for the tip." Cammy said. "Thank you for everything else you did and allowed. Thank you for the file. It was a wonderful experience for me, even if it was you."

Cammy moved over and gave Cameron a close tight hug before Sheila and her moved away.

"Thank you for your sacrifice." Cameron said.

Cammy looked back.

"Sacrifice is the true test of love." Cammy said. "Remember it."

Cameron watched them walk away. She finally turned and hurried back to her room. John needed to get ready for round two.

The giant smile returned to Cameron's face. She was going to be a virgin twice in a few hours. It was one down and one to go.

Life was good in Paradise.


Young Allison and Anna tracked the brown car which seemed interested in the port facility. They thought it was a terrorist who came to check on what was done at the port. It could also be someone from one of the other groups they'd fought. They really didn't know yet. They needed more information.

"How are Hank and Larry doing?" Young Allison asked.

Anna monitored their progress.

"They're about five minutes out." Anna said. "CamNet was able to help them along with some traffic management."

The brown car they tracked maintained a steady pace. It didn't speed any more than the surrounding traffic. There were no evasive turns. It didn't appear the driver knew they were being tracked. There wasn't much they would be able to do to escape the drones overhead.

"Have Hank and Larry switch to a parallel route." Young Allison said.

Anna sent out the instruction. She wondered why Young Allison wanted the change.

"What is it?" Anna asked.

Young Allison thought about everything involved with the brown car since they first observed it. It was always right there out in the open.

"Could any car be easier to track and follow than the brown car?" Young Allison asked. "I didn't notice it at first. I can see it now."

Anna reviewed everything. She also checked their current location.

"You're right." Anna said. "I don't believe they're headed to where the terrorist cell was brought down at either."

Young Allison was worried about the four Terminators in the area.

"Maybe this is the pied piper." Young Allison said. "I don't think I want to play this game. Have the drones around Richard and Michael on high alert."

Anna didn't think Richard and Michael were in immediate danger. They'd only been observers from a distance so far.

"They didn't act physically when the brown car was around." Anna said. "I don't think they were detected."

Young Allison wanted to cover all of the bases. She didn't want to get 'caught looking'. She especially didn't want to be looking in the wrong direction.

"I want a drone in gun range over them as they pull out in addition to anything set up for 'metal hail'." Young Allison said.

Anna was contacted by John Henry.

"John Henry wants to know more about what you suspect." Anna said.

Young Allison didn't think things felt 'right'. There was too much which was obvious and it was all right in front of them. She couldn't put her finger on it.

"I wish I knew." Young Allison said. "It all just looked wrong all of a sudden to me. Look where they're headed now."

They tracked the brown car into an industrial neighborhood.

"They're checking for a tail. If they have a tail, they would show up in this area." Anna said. "We haven't spotted a tail on them."

Young Allison wasn't sure how to read it. She was sure it was more than it seemed.

"It could be an ambush site too." Young Allison said.

Anna wanted the drones to search for any movement in the area. They didn't want to bring any drones in close to try for thermal scans.

"Richard and Michael are clear of the port area." Anna said. "There is no tail spotted on them."

Young Allison thought of some of the earlier stunts pulled around there.

"Watch for any small drones again." Young Allison said. "There may be some which might go airborne as they pull out. One was deployed earlier in the day."

Anna was aware there were more drones available.

"CamNet has released some of the drones over the other areas we were watching." Anna said.

Young Allison thought about it for a moment. She didn't want to get caught flat footed. She didn't want to get played either.

"Make sure there is still one at each location." Young Allison said. "This may be to draw off some of our resources from those areas."

They were both aware the anti-Metal group was always one step ahead of them. The Resistance was able to beat them to the punch in every case. It was due to aggressive action on their part.

Anna felt there were a lot of cards in play.

"It could be." Anna said. "We could be dealing with more than one group still."

Young Allison thought they could use a 'pinch hitter' right now.

"It would be nice to have Summer in on this." Young Allison said. "She can spot patterns easier than I can."

Anna thought John Henry and CamNet should be able to do it better but it didn't prove to be the case in the earlier actions. Summer could 'see' things which weren't there yet.


Summer was asleep.

Her eyes opened.

What was it?

Was it the voices?

She got up and checked her mother's room. There were three people in there. It looked like they were getting Samantha ready for her 'big day'. Well, another 'big day' for Cameron anyway.

She checked her tablet and laptop for any updates. There were several things happening.

Since Samantha was about to be out of the picture, she couldn't use her to control and contain her mother. Jesse was about to be tied up with Sheila and Cammy.

She checked and found out Ally, Holly and Cam were out there with Gail and Hanna. They would need to assist her.

Summer sent out some 'recommendations' to CamNet. She was aware when CamNet 'spoke', everyone listened.


The Gray wanted to get to the other location. He passed through the small community at the crossroads junction. He took a look at the vehicles around it. He passed by the gas station, the diner and the shabby motel. He kept going. Fairly soon all of it was behind him in the rear view mirror.

Right before he reached the crossroads junction, he'd spotted a pair of headlights behind him. Like the car in front of him which turned into the gas station, the other vehicle made a turn as well. He was too far away to tell if the turn was into the gas station or onto the main highway at the intersection. Either way, it was a right hand turn. He needed to keep in mind there was the potential for two vehicles to be behind him later on. Any of them could go in a different direction. He certainly wouldn't be able to identify the vehicle in the dark with the headlights glaring in his mirror.

The Gray continued along towards the next location. He didn't know what he was going to find.


The female Fanatic saw Jill's signal. She immediately started the car. Jill ran back and got in. She backed up so she would be in back of the motel. She was able to move away in plenty of time. She was rewarded to see the Gray's car pass by on the highway in the direction she thought it would go.

She noted his speed wasn't very fast. No doubt he was checking everything out around him. She felt they were well concealed in their current position.

Jill was a little unsure how things would progress.

"What do we do next?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic was going to follow the Gray. She needed to locate the other trucks. She wanted them destroyed if at all possible. Well, she wanted what was inside of them destroyed. Skynet was a reoccurring cancer throughout time. It needed to be obliterated wherever it set down its roots.

She needed to keep track of what was around them as well as their target. She didn't want to become the target of someone else. She hoped her earlier ploy worked with the men in the pickup truck. She pulled away from the rear of the motel and moved further to the north. She drove out onto the hard dirt a little ways to get away from the light.

She was ready to move things along. She took out the item she'd removed from the trunk and looked at it.

Jill watched Jackie remove some type of device from a case.

"What are those?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic examined the device and made sure it was in working order. It was. She doubted it had ever been used by anyone. It appeared to be brand new.

"It's a night vision device." The female Fanatic said. "It does just what it sounds like it does."

The female Fanatic tried it out.

Jill watched as Jackie put them on.

"Do they work?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic activated the device. She was pleasantly surprised to see how well they worked.

"Yes they do." The female Fanatic said. "Here, take a look."

The female Fanatic handed them to Jill.

Jill looked through the device. She was momentarily disoriented.

"Wow!" Jill said. "I've heard about these things before."

Jill started to turn her head around.

The female Fanatic wanted Jill to be careful.

"Don't look at the light." The female Fanatic said. "It will hurt your eyes."

Jill handed the device back to Jackie. She put them back on.

"Will you be able to drive with them on?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic only ever used them on foot before. She'd never driven a vehicle with them on. She was aware helicopter pilots were able to wear them along with the drivers of various types of vehicles.

"I think we're about to find out." The female Fanatic said. "We need to get rolling."

The female Fanatic drove carefully through the dirt and onto the highway. She looked in both directions and then pulled out. Her headlights were off.

Jill was a little anxious as Jackie made the maneuver. She looked behind them to make sure there were no vehicles.

"Are those something you used in the future?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic concentrated on the road. She drifted a little from side to side. It took her a moment to get her bearings.

"Yes." The female Fanatic said. "They were much more sophisticated and had several different vision spectrums. The machines use even more advanced technology. For them, it's nearly like looking around in daylight. They have several different vision spectrums as well. It's easy for them to detect things hidden much easier than I would be able to with a similar device."

Jill thought about the name HK. It meant hunter killer. She could see how they would be able to operate with such efficiency anytime of the day or night.

"Can you tell me more about what the future is like?" Jill asked. "I want you to tell me the bad things too. I know you avoided some of them before."

The female Fanatic didn't think it really mattered. She was never going back there. She knew her time in the present was probably extremely limited. More than likely, Jill's was as well. She didn't see any other way around it at this point.

"I think you should try to rest for a little bit." The female Fanatic said. "I don't know how long we're going to be driving. You need to get a little sleep. If it looks like a long way, I'll let you drive for a little bit. You can drive with the headlights on if you want. I have a second pair of night vision goggles here as well."

Jill spotted the other case earlier. She reached over and touched it. She was tired. Maybe she would try to get a little sleep.

"OK." Jill said. "I'll rest for a little bit. It means you need to do so as well. We can take turns. Like you said, we don't know how long the journey will be. We both need to be able to function efficiently When we arrive at our destination."

The female Fanatic glanced over at Jill. She watched her recline the seat. She turned her attention back to the road. She could see the tail lights up ahead of her. He wouldn't be able to spot her easily.


The truck pulled away from the diner and made a right hand turn onto the main highway. It went westbound in search of the two females. All three of the men were ready for 'dessert'.

"I think we should catch up with them soon." The first man said.

The second man was ready for a little action.

"How are we going to stop them this time?" The second man asked.

The third man was a little irritated at the second man.

"The same way we have before." The third man said.

The first man didn't like the dents in his truck but he thought the rewards were worth it.

"I'll move up behind them and pass by them close." The first man said. "I'll touch their rear bumper very gently. When we pull over to exchange insurance information, the fun will begin."

The second man was thrilled. He was a little worried.

"Are we going to kill them afterwards?" The second man asked.

The first man and third man exchanged a quick glance.

"You know we always let them off in a remote location." The third man said. "It takes them a day to walk back to find anyone."

The second man watched them do it a few times. They always made him keep watch at the truck while they took the female away. Usually it was just a single female. One time it was a female with an infant. He thought it was the best time. She did everything they told her to do. She even swallowed. She kept saying she'd do whatever they wanted if they didn't hurt her baby.

"That's good." The second man said. "There's nothing wrong with a little clean fun."

The first and third man exchanged another quick glance.

"Yeah, it's just a little clean fun." The first man said.

The three men in the truck continued along. They increased their speed dramatically. They wanted to make sure they caught up with their dessert, the two females.


The two men boarded the cable car with about twenty other people. It started back down the mountain. They couldn't see much on the ride down other than lights in the distance. They watched as others on the cable car tried their phones from time to time. None of them worked. They still wanted to put the grab on a couple of more.

They watched the base station grow larger and larger after they went over the last pylon. The cable car slowed dramatically to a snail's pace when it was just outside of the station. It crept slowly forward and docked with a slight thud.

The two men exited with the other passengers. They moved away from the other people who ambled over towards the gift shop or the exit.

"We can roll a couple of these people when they go back out to their vehicle." The first man said.

The second man didn't have a problem with it.

"We need to see if we can get a phone to work." The second man said.

The first man looked over towards the gift shop.

"Let's take a quick look in there." The first man said. "Maybe we can pick up a 'burner' instead. We won't need to worry about some concerned family member trying to find out what happened to their loved one later on."

The second man nodded. They didn't need the police to track the phone.

"They don't know how lucky they are to have loved ones to be concerned about them." The second man said.

The first man knew how it worked.

"No one knows what they're missing until it's actually gone." The first man said.

They entered the gift shop and looked around.

"Hey, I see something behind the counter up on the wall." The second man said.

The first man saw it as well.

"Let's get a couple of those and go." The first man said. "Let's deactivate our phones first before we try them out."

The two men exited the gift shop. They were near a cafe at one end of the station. They decided to enter the restroom and do it there. They entered and looked around. No one was there. They both deactivated their phone. They returned to the gift shop and purchased two burners. They turn them on. They didn't work. The clerk behind the counter told them cell traffic had been off since the morning. The exited the gift shop.

"Maybe once we're away from the area they'll work." The second man said.

The first man really didn't know what would happen. He was sure they were being tracked by a supercomputer. He could only think it was through their phones how everything around them always didn't seem to work. He didn't know there was a drone over them all of the time. In fact there were now two drones over them.

The two men exited the station and went back to their van.


Earlier:

Tina and Lena were soon at the base station of the aerial tramway. They exited the cable car. They monitored where the two men were at in the header station. They saw them grab a quick bite to eat and get into the line to come down on the next cable car. As soon as the two men bordered it, they moved out of the station.

Lena wasn't sure what other information could be obtained by following the men. The operation they were associated with was taken down at the port with dramatic results. The men were unaware of it.

"I think we should clean out their van." Lena said.

Tina wanted to terminate them.

"We should have done it a long time ago." Tina said. "Both of those men's bodies should be lying along side of the trail up on the mountain now."

CamNet instructed them to hold off the plans for any termination for now.

They move their vehicle past where the men's van was at. They would be in front of them going down the hill. They watched their phones as the men reached the base station and entered a gift shop. They exited it and used the bathroom. They then we reentered the gift shop. They exited the building a short time later.

CamNet informed them the men's phones had been turned off. The surveillance footage showed they'd purchased two burner phones. She speculated the men knew they were being tracked and thought it was through their phones. It wasn't.

Lena wondered if they could gain any new information if the men could make a report. She advised CamNet about her concern. It was decided to let the men try. The trail they were on produced no new leads. Perhaps whoever they contacted would.

CamNet's Terminators started down the hill once the drone image showed the two men enter their van.


I Want To Wear That

There are some people
Who buzz around like a gnat
Others will be more assertive
They approach like a wombat

Some are rather rude
They behave like a spoiled brat
It doesn't take very long
Before they treat others like a doormat

When things don't go their way
They will have a little spat
They will do dirty deeds
They will act lower than a rat

It will only be themselves
Whose back they will pat
Whatever they try on their own
They fail and fall flat

They're never responsible
There isn't any hat
They can look at proudly and say
I want to wear that

Nobody
