Chapter 1544

Fasten Seat Belts

Young Allison and Anna watched as the two teams each selected a vehicle to shadow.

The two vehicles were headed away from each other. It looked like they left the building in a panic.

"I don't think they're going anywhere specific." Young Allison said. "It looks like they're just running."

Anna thought that might depend on a few factors.

"We could allow communication between the cars and see what play's out." Anna said. "It would be better for the teams if there's only one destination."

Young Allison was worried with Young Jesse out in the field. The Metal girls were with her so they should take care of her. She was still worried about HK drones.

"I'm not sure if I want things to play out that long." Young Allison said. "I'm still worried about some HK drones at low altitude and where those helicopters actually came from. I don't think it was that building we took down."

Anna checked with John Henry and CamNet. So far there was nothing on any of the Skynet aircraft.

John Henry wondered why the two vehicles were going in different directions. That didn't seem like a good thing.

"I'm not sure where this will end up at." John Henry said.

Summer saw it differently.

"They left in panic." Summer said. "The first car crashed through the door. They're just running and not thinking yet."

John Henry thought about allowing them to communicate with each other. That might unite them and make targeting them easier. It could also divulge a different location they might go to.

"I'm going to let them communicate with each other." John Henry said.

Summer knew both of the cars were locked up with a drone for a missile shot or even a 'gravity shot' of 'metal hail'. Maybe they only needed one car do deal with and see where it ended up at.

"They can talk but that doesn't mean they'll actually need to hook up." Summer said. "I'm sure you can make their conversation interesting and challenging."

Minutes ago:

The first Gray car crashed through the roll up door after trying to run down the Terminator that started to shoot the Grays in the other car.

They made it through the door and saw the second car follow them out. The second car went in the other direction.

There were three Grays in the first car. They were all jittery about what happened.

"Did you see what that 'Circuit Brain' tried to do?" The first Gray asked.

"He didn't try, he did." The second Gray said.

The third Gray in the rear seat looked back.

"The other car is out." The third Gray said. "I think there's only two that made it."

The first Gray was the driver. He looked in his rear view mirror.

"Why are they going the other way?" The first Gray asked.

"Maybe we can turn around and follow them." The second Gray said.

"Don't go back this way." The third Gray said. "Who know what that 'Metal Head' will do next?"

"He's probably headed for the RPG." The second Gray said.

The third Gary continued to look behind them. He saw an explosion inside the building as a fireball billowed out of the opening where the roll up door used to be.

"Whoa!" The third Gray said.

The sound of the explosion reached the first vehicle. The second Gray looked back and the first Gray checked the rear view mirror again.

"There was an explosion inside the building." The third Gray said.

"Do you think that's the 'Tin Can'?" The second Gray asked. "You did hit him."

The first Gray didn't think so.

"I barely touched him." The first Gray said. "If that was a power cell it would level that whole building."

"What blew up then?" The third Gray asked.

"We're not going back to find out." The first Gray said. "If there's a Resistance computer fighting the battle it could be anything."

"What if it was a drone?" The second gray asked. "We could be targeted right now?"

The first Gray made a turn at the next street a then another turn.

"I don't think you can lose a drone that way." The second Gray said.

"I don't either but it never hurts to try." The first Gray said. "Maybe there isn't one. We never heard anything."

"Maybe it went after the other car. It left after we did." The third Gray said.

There was a giant fireball off to their side followed by the sound of an explosion.

"Dude…." The third Gray said.

The Grays all looked.

"That was a power cell exploding." The first Gray said.

"Maybe the drone crashed." The third Gray said.

"We don't even know if there was a drone." The first Gray said.

"Where are we headed now?" The second Gray asked.

"There is a machine shop set up in the city." The first Gray said. "We can go there."

"What do we tell them about what happened?" The third Gray asked. "We did sort of cut out on everyone when we booked."

"We only tell them that we survived the attack." The first Gray said. "If anyone finds out we ran, some 'Tin Can' will terminate us."

The third Gray tried to use his phone.

"Hey, I got Williams." The third Gray said.

"See what they're going to do." The first Gray said.

John Henry was able to listen to the conversation in the car through one of the phones before he'd activated it. He knew where the first car was headed.

It was to a location that Bob and Jim went to before. Derek and Kyle were with them. He would make sure that was the vehicle they followed. The machine shop and welding shop were both under observation already. They'd set up some surveillance equipment there.

It was decided to let them arrive at that location. They still needed to clean it out anyway.

Bob and Jim were pleased that they would return to the machine shop and welding shop. They didn't like the fact they were tagged and tracked earlier.

"We need to get Derek and Kyle before were take down the building." Bob said.

Jim was aware how angry Derek was about being tagged personally.

"Yes." Jim said. "Do we want to snag them tonight or wait until morning?"

Bob thought about it.

"Let's see what happens when the Grays get there." Bob said. "We can cross that bridge when we get to it."

Al and Ed were given a full run down by Jim as Bob drove. They decided to get there before the Grays did. That way the Grays would never know they were 'tailed'. They would obtain a second vehicle as well.

Cam was directed to go after the second vehicle.

"We have a solid target." Cam said.

Young Jesse checked her body armor and equipment.

"I want to be part of the assault." Young Jesse said.

Gail didn't want her to take any chances.

"You will be behind me at all times." Gail said.

Samantha would be behind Young Jesse.

"I'll cover your six." Samantha said.

Young Jesse didn't like them using their chassis to shield her. She did appreciate the level of concern for her. If she needed to act, she was going to act.

The conversation was very much the same in the second vehicle as it was in the first.

They didn't like the fact there was blood and tissue on the seats and windows of their vehicle.

"We're clear." The first Gray said.

"Why didn't we follow the other car?" The second Gray asked.

"There was a fifty-fifty chance the 'Lug Head' would come out with an RPG." The first Gray said. "The other car is the one that hit him. If we were behind it. we become the target. If we go the opposite direction the 'Rust Bucket' will most likely want some payback and shoot at the other car. Those clowns don't miss."

They saw the first and second explosions.

"I think that's it for that place." The first Gray said.

The second Gray continued to play with his phone.

"Where are we going to now?" The second Gray asked.

The first Gray was conflicted.

"I want to check out the mine." The first Gray said.

That sounded like a bad idea to the second Gray.

"We lost all contact with everyone who went there and was there." The second Gray said.

The first Gray was aware of that.

"My buddy was in one of the cars that went there. They were on the way back." The first Gray said. "He was going to score some 'skirt' for us."

The second Gray perked up.

"Do you think they nabbed a broad?" The second Gray asked. "We're going to drive by the homeless camp and then hit the mine. Maybe we can snag one."

The second Gray was willing to go along with everything now that there was some prospect of some fresh 'stank'. He continued to fool with his phone.

"I got Badger." The second Gray said.

They found out where the first car was headed before they lost communications again.

Cam's team was fed the conversation from the second car.

Young Jesse didn't like how they thought about females.

"The Grays sound like Scavengers." Young Jesse said.

Cam knew Scavengers were worse but the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

"There isn't a whole lot of difference in the types of people." Cam said. "They both want an easy life and don't care who they need to hurt to have it."

Young Jesse hoped to personally take them down.

"I want the shot if we get in close." Young Jesse said. "I want blood."

Gail could tell Young Jesse was very much like Jesse.

"We'll see." Gail said.

She wanted to tell Young Jesse to be careful what she wished for but she didn't think it would matter at this point.

John finished on top of Sheila right after she did. Her arms clasped him tightly. She wanted to hang on to him. She didn't want the moment to end.

Sheila broke the kiss and looked at John.

"I love you, John." Sheila whispered.

Just this moment John felt the same way.

"I love you too." John said.

Sheila kissed him again and deepened it. She wasn't wild about it. It was slow and soft but deep. She moved one of John's hands up so he could fondle her.

They shared some small talk which surprised John. It was very much like when he was with Jesse and Young Jesse. He didn't notice that as much with Cameron, Camille and Cammy. They weren't that much like Allison. Then again their 'Neural Interface' was based off of was the original version of Future Allison. The time Cameron spent with Future Allison in her future when she remade her, almost remade her into someone totally different. When Cameron returned her to Future John she was highly educated, extremely intelligent and culturally diverse. There were many more things that she knew how to do.

He hoped to be with Ally to see how she compared to Allison and Cameron. Her programming was all different by design. Cameron hoped to make an 'improved' version of herself with Ally. He wasn't sure that was the result. If anything, it seemed like a less sophisticated version.

Sheila stepped up her kissing after twenty minutes. John could feel the change. It was like she'd flipped a switch. He was sure she'd just activated her programming of Jesse's experiences from the 'Neural Interface'.

In one swift smooth motion Sheila roiled him over and was on top of him now. She moved to a more upright position so he could see the front of her clearly. He really liked the view. She bent down and kissed him as she start in. He was ready.

"My turn…." Sheila whispered as things picked up. "Hold out as long as you can. I want the most out of it."

Sheila moved to a more upright position again. He watched as she fondled herself. He was sure she was about to make it already. He was surprised to watch her twist her rings sharply right before she made it. He saw her wince with pain before she was flooded with joy. She never missed a beat and kept going.

He needed to hold back as she made it three more times and did the same thing. In and instant she rotated around so she faced away from him. She made it twice that way.

Sheila wanted to try a new position.

"Stay with me." Sheila said. "I'm going onto my knees. Try not to lose contact."

John was caught a little off guard.

She moved onto her knees and faced away from him. It took some effort on his part to stay with her as he moved up behind her.

"Make sure it stays where it's at." Sheila said as she looked back.

John was a little embarrassed about that. When Cameron used Sheila's chassis, she took it everywhere. She wanted all the virginity she could get out of each of the borrowed chassis. She'd done the same things with all of them.

John held out as long as he could. When he felt her make it again, he did too. Much to his surprise her hands came back and held him in position as she quickly knocked one more off for herself. He was sure he was about to pass out.

He collapsed backwards onto the bed and she slid in beside him again and held him.

"You're the best." Sheila said as she kissed him.

John just knew he was exhausted.

He closed his eyes for a second. Something bumped him. He looked over and Leticia was at work on Sheila. He wondered how long she'd been there. He looked down at himself and knew there was nothing left for a three way.

The 'Fasten Seat Belt' sign came on with a bell tone.

Cammy came into the room and handed him his robe. She moved him to the couch and buckled him in. Sheila and Leticia were hard at work on each other on the bed still. They got a good front row seat.

"Is that safe?" John asked.

Cammy wanted to have some fun.

"They're both females." Cammy said. "They can't get each other pregnant. Besides, you know that one of them is a machine."

John quickly looked at Cammy. He wondered if any of the girls could get pregnant. Cammy told him they were 'clean'. She didn't say if they were fertile or not or used birth control. He specifically asked each of them if they wanted him to finish inside or not. All three of them indicated they did want him to finish inside of them. Now he wondered if any of them would end up pregnant or not. He wasn't sure how that would play out in the long run and what exactly Cameron would do about it.

Cammy giggled. She could see John was a little worried.

"Relax. I know what you meant." Cammy said. "We have expert pilots. You'll hardly feel the touchdown."

When it did happen, John only heard the engines go to full power in reverse thrust and the plane rapidly slowed down. It was a very smooth touchdown.

Sheila and Leticia never missed a beat.

The jet taxied and then parked.

The 'Fasten Seat Belt' sign went off.

"We're here." Cammy said.

John was sure he was done for the night. He really would have liked to be in his room right now so he could go to sleep. Maybe he could sleep on the plane.

Jesse and Claire went to the nursery.

Holly was there with Precious. She'd checked on Derek and Riley earlier and they were both asleep now. It sounded like it was a busy night for them earlier.

Jesse sat down and Holly handed Precious to her.

Claire and Holly watched Jesse take over.

"She looks so beautiful like that." Holly said.

Claire wondered who she meant.

"Precious?" Claire asked.

Holly looked at her and smiled.

"Jesse." Holly said. "I wish my sheath could do that."

Claire and Jesse both wished that too.

"I like the fact you can both wear rings." Jesse said. "I miss mine."

Claire opened her robe up some so Jesse could see her rings. Holly looked at both of them and did so as well.

They both took in the size of Holly's massive breasts.

"That is a luscious pair you have, Holly." Jesse said.

Holly looked down at herself and then at Precious as Jesse nursed her. She would rather be able to nurse an infant and actually have her breast be able to do something instead of just be big and non functional.

"I'll trade you." Holly said.

Bob's team tracked the Gray's vehicle with the drones. They were already near the machine shop when it arrived. They thought it would be better to already be in place rather than arrive after the Grays did. If there was some kind of surveillance it shouldn't identify them arriving after the fact. That would indicate a 'tail'.

They let Al and Ed off along the way and they acquired another vehicle. They were on the other side of the machine shop.

The Grays arrived and moved the car inside the building. There were no lights on inside.

Moments ago:

The Grays neared the machine shop.

"I think we made it away clean." The first Gray said.

"Let's get this thing parked first." The second Gray said.

They arrived at the gate in the rear and the third Grey got out and opened the gate. The car drove in and he closed it behind them. He hurried to the rear door and worked a keypad. He went inside and opened up the rear roll up door. The car drove in.

The other two Grays got out of the car.

"Now we made it." The second Gray said.

The third closed the roll up door and looked out the small window in the rear door.

"The question is - for how long?" The third Gray asked.

With all of the events and missing people, they really didn't know what was in store for them.

The Grays in the second car were going to backtrack the route the two cars that went out earlier should have taken to get back. They neared the railroad tracks. They spotted several sets of flashing lights up ahead. They were near the homeless camp where they'd lured some females away from and put the grab on them before. They usually used the lure of food. They found it worked better than money for a quick pick up.

"It looks like there's some trouble at the homeless camp." The first Gray said.

"Maybe they did put the grab on some slut after all and someone called it in. Usually no one cares when one goes missing." The second Gray said. "Slow up some."

As they neared the homeless camp they saw the emergency vehicles were past the homeless camp. They were closer to the railroad crossing.

"There's a train stopped over the crossing." The first Gray said. "I think there was an accident."

They spotted some fireman working on a wrecked car.

"Hey! That's one of our cars." The second Gray said.

"No it's not." The first Gray said. "Look at it."

"I'm telling you, man, it is." The second Gray said. "Stop, lets ask what happened."

"I don't think so." The first Gray said.

The first Gray decided to stop anyway. The second Gray called out to one of the fireman standing by the fire truck.

"Did anyone get hurt?" The second Gray asked.

The fireman looked over.

"Yeah, I'll say." The fireman said. "It looks like some kids were street racing or something. They tried to beat the train to the crossing." The Fireman said. "There are bodies inside the wreckage."

"What happened?" The first Gray asked.

"It was a tie." The fireman said. "The car lost."

The first Gray drove off.

"That was them, man." The second Gray said.

"Maybe it was." The first Gray said. "Let's head by the mine and see what we can find."

"Don't get too close." The second Gray said.

They needed to take a longer way around. The neared a tall bridge over a dry gulch.

"Hey, look at that." The first Gray said.

He slowed as they passed a section of the bridge that was knocked out along the side.

"It looks like someone went over the side there." The second Gray said.

"It was probably some dumbass kids." The first Gray said.

"That's what they thought about our guys." The second Gray said.

The first Gray stopped.

They got out and looked over the side through the gap in the retaining wall.

"Whatever is down there is still smoldering." The first Gray said.

"Maybe that's the other car." The second Gray said.

"I doubt it." The first Gray said.

He did doubt it but he also worried it could be. Their phones were still out too.

They took a different road in towards the mine. They were on a dirt service road. There were fishers in the dirt every so often as they neared the mine. They almost got stuck a few times. Where there were cuts through knolls, dirt slid over the road.

"I don't think this is such a good idea." The second Gray said. "We're going to get stuck."

"That may be so." The first Gray said.

He backed up and parked off to the side.

The two Grays continued on foot.

They cut across a lightly wooded area. They could see the mine compound in front of them. The moonlight was bright.

"Where is everything?" The second Gray asked.

"It's all gone." The first Gray said. "There are only a few collapsed buildings left."

"I don't like the look of any of this." The second Gray said.

"Let's blow." The first Gray said.

They hurried back to where they'd left the car. It wasn't there.

"Where's the car?" The second Gray asked.

"It's gone." The first Gray said.

Where'd it go?" The second Gray asked.

"It's just gone." The first Gray said.

Two figures moved out in front of them.

"I heard you blokes were looking for some fresh skirt…."

There was movement behind the two men. Before they could even move or do anything. Their world went black.
