Chapter 1395


Take Me All The Way


John opened his eyes. The light in the room was very dim. He was pleased to see the outline of the figure next to him. It was one wild ride Leticia took him on. He reached over and touched her right nipple ring. Her hand came up and touched his. He was about to roll over on top of her. He was ready to go right now.

"Are you ready for some more?" Cameron asked.

John let go of the nipple ring he started to play with and quickly turned over to his other side to see Cameron there.

He wondered how much she'd seen.

"Hi, Cameron." John said.

Cameron gave him a deep kiss.

John felt a little nervous.

Cameron pulled the pillow out from under his arm. For some reason he was still clutching it. She wasn't sure why. It was in the way.

John glanced back and could see the outline of the figure on his other side. She was up on an elbow now. She looked at Cameron and him. It was clear she wanted some more.

"I want you to make love to me now." Cameron whispered.

The idea excited John. He would do it with Cameron while Leticia watched and then Cameron could watch Leticia and him together. It might expand into a 'three way'. He'd love to see Cameron and Leticia together too. It was always a fantasy he wanted to see, Cameron with another female. He would then have both of them as they 'serviced' each other.

"Is it going to be the three of us?" John asked.

He was still a little dazed and confused.

Cameron smiled at him and gave him another kiss.

It looked like Cameron was in for a 'three-way'. He could hardly believe it.

"You will make love to me in my chassis first and then switch to the other side." Cameron said.

It was just like he'd thought. He hoped for a little more.

John hoped they would both be on top of him at the same time. He didn't care which one was where. He pictured them kissing while he pleasured both of them.

He felt Cameron touch him.

"You're already - ready." Cameron said.

John was still a little sleepy. He was 'ready' when he woke up. He remembered he'd read in National Geographic about being sexually aroused was an natural occurrence, for both males and females, as part of dreaming.

He didn't know if he should ask, but he was curious. He really wanted to see them together.

"Are you going to be with Leticia?" John asked.

Cameron thought about it when she'd watched Sheila and Leticia together earlier. It was different from when she'd watched Allison and Vanna together previously. Then again, one was love and the other was sex. There was also a Metal girl involved with one of the encounters. She was well aware there wasn't much a Metal girl couldn't do with her tongue. It could be made very rigid for some simulated 'applications'.

"I can go get her." Sheila said. "She's in the suite down the hall with Hanna and Ally."

John jumped about a foot in the air.

He was fully awake now. He looked around him and realized it was Cameron and Sheila who were with him. Now he remembered the pillow he'd held when Cameron woke him up. Was it only all a dream with Leticia? He almost felt cheated if it was. He thought it was his best experience ever.

Cameron wasn't sure why John asked about Leticia. She'd been in the suite down the hall the whole night and all the girls had shared with her except herself. Leticia thought Cam-Gail was 'Barbara' or her. She'd even thought about letting Jim and Bob have a crack at her. It would be a good experience for both of them. She still might do it. She was worried they might get carried away without some moderating force.

"Do you want to be with Leticia?" Cameron asked. "She's very skilled in bed. I want you to be happy."

Sheila liked the idea. She wanted to watch John and Leticia together. She pictured herself on her back and Leticia on her knees in front of her while John moved in from behind on Leticia. The best part of all would be because Cameron was right there to see the whole thing.

"Let me un-tether and I can go get her." Sheila said. "I want to watch."

Sheila sat up and reached back.

John felt things start to get away from him. It was clear Cameron was serious about all of it. She wanted him protected and she was going to do whatever she could to make it happen.

"No, No." John said. "It was just a thought. I may have dreamt about something like it. It's nothing."

There was no way he was going to tell anyone about his wild dream.

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She remembered one time when she'd asked John about dreams. He said sometimes they seemed real. She asked how he knew they weren't real. He said sometimes he didn't.

It made her wonder what his most recent dream was about. It didn't sound like it was about her. It sounded like it was about Leticia. She remembered the way he held the pillow when they'd entered.

Cameron reached down and caressed him with her hand.

"It must be why you're at 'full attention'." Cameron said. "It must have been a good dream."

Sheila looked over. She was ready for more.

"I'll say." Sheila said. "Let's stop dreaming and get the show on the road."

At this point, Sheila wanted Cameron to use her chassis first. She wanted the file transferred back to her really bad.

Cameron wondered why John would dream about Leticia. He should have dreamt about Vanna and Allison, or her. She thought about asking about Vanna and Allison. She wanted to know how she compared to Allison. She wondered which one he liked better. Maybe she'd better not. Maybe they were both better than her.

John didn't want to seem greedy.

"Are you going to do like we did before?" John asked. "I mean are you going to use the tether with Sheila?"

Sheila would like to have her 'one time'. She wasn't about to turn down a 'tether ride' with Cameron and John.

She indicated the tether cable already plugged into the back of her neck.

"I volunteered my chassis." Sheila said. "It will be the same as before."

Cameron wanted to do like she'd done with Hanna's chassis.

"I want to switch back and forth again." Cameron said. "If it's OK with you I mean."

Sheila liked the idea. She hoped to get Cameron's experience in her own chassis as part of the file transfer. She didn't want to lay there inactive in standby while Cameron's program was at 'home'. She wanted to make sure Cameron knew what she wanted.

"It's OK with me." Sheila said. "I want the entire file, from both of us."

Cameron touched John.

"I meant John." Cameron said. "I want to make him happy."

John was ready for another one of those sessions.

"As long as everyone is good with it, and Cameron is always the one in control, I don't have a problem with it." John said.

Sheila was going to ask who was 'in control' with Vanna and Allison but thought it might be best left for another time. Maybe it didn't go well for them. Everyone knew Vanna was very apprehensive. She began to wonder now if it even happened at all with them.

"It's the agreement." Cameron said.

John didn't want any problems later on.

"I'm good then." John said. "I want to thank both of you for giving me this opportunity again. I really appreciate it."

Sheila moved her lips right up to John's ear.

"I still want my 'one time'." Sheila whispered. "You got my cherry already from Cameron in control. You are going to be my first when I'm in control too."

John wanted it too but decided to remain silent.

"I'll bring you Leticia too before the cruise is over, if you want her." Sheila whispered. "She likes to please me. I'll have her ready for anything you want."

John swallowed hard. He was sure Cameron could hear everything Sheila said.

Cameron did hear everything Sheila said. She did make Sheila a promise. If Vanna and Allison didn't like what happened in bed, then it might have been a bad experience for John too. Leticia could 'fix' it for him. She thought about what Sheila said about watching. She wanted to watch too. Maybe she could learn some new things by watching Leticia at 'work'. She was very aware there was no substitute for experience. Everything she did with John was routine and pretty much the same. She was ready to expand and try new things.

She needed to refocus. She planned to be with John the rest of the evening on and off in both Sheila's chassis and her chassis at different times during the night. They discussed a few more details. Everything was to be the same as before. Cameron's program would always be in control in either chassis.

John still couldn't get his dream out of his head. It really seemed like it was real to him. Maybe he was getting greedy. He would need to tone it back. This really was the best honeymoon ever. How could he ever thank Cameron for this gift?

"Where do I start?" John asked. "Whose chassis is first?"


Cam-Gail stayed with Mary and Laura for a few hours. She'd switched with Ally and Hanna and went back to Leticia. As soon as they'd finished a few times, Leticia looked at her.

"Will I get to be with Tony soon?" Leticia asked.

Cam-Gail knew Leticia thought she was 'Cameron' as 'Barbara'.

"Sue is with him now." Cam-Gail said. "He'll probably be busy. She's very demanding."

Leticia still wanted a crack at him.

"I can do a three way with Sue and him or with him and you, Barbara." Leticia said. "I don't mind. I like to make everyone happy. I'll do whatever you want as well. I can watch, or you can watch me. He can even watch us together."

Cam-Gail really wished she was Cameron so it could happen.

"We'll see." Can-Gail said. "Right now it's just us."

Leticia wanted it too.

"Take me all the way again. Push me to the edge." Leticia whispered. "Don't stop even when I beg you to stop."

Cam-Gail gave her a deep kiss.

"I will." Cam-Gail said. "You don't need to worry. I know CPR."

Leticia wasn't worried until 'Barbara' mentioned the last part….

Maybe there would be some form of strangulation this time. It was a wild experience too. She'd only done it a few times. She hadn't needed CPR though. Maybe she would ask 'Barbara' to take her all the way. She could cross over to the other side for a short time. She wondered what was really there. She wasn't sure if anything was there. Maybe she could get a peek. She really hoped they'd bring her back if they sent her there.

"I'm game for anything." Leticia said.

Leticia was willing to try anything at least once. She realized it might only be 'once' if things went too far. She was further excited by the thought.


Holly was with Allison twice before she fell asleep. They were in the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. She looked at Allison and gave her a soft kiss. She carefully picked her up and carried her into the bedroom where Vanna was at.

Gail-Cam got up out of bed and made the sheets straight for Holly to lay Allison down.

Holly carefully laid Allison down next to Vanna.

Gail-Cam and Holly went into the main part of the suite. They wanted to see if the other's girl said anything about what happened.

"Allison didn't want to talk about it yet." Holly said.

Gail-Cam frowned.

"Vanna didn't either." Gail-Cam said.

Holly understood how it was private. It was something 'new' for them, even if it wasn't in technical terms. Choice mattered over force. There was a difference. Their past, the future, weighed heavily upon them. Maybe it was something they couldn't get past.

"Maybe we will be the same way when Cameron allows us our 'one time' with John." Holly said.

Gail-Cam doubted it would ever happen.

"Cameron took what she wanted from us." Gail-Cam said. "I think we both know there'll never be our 'one time' with John."

Holly figured it was true. What happened was still beautiful, even if it was a file and not really her.

"I would still do it again the same way." Holly said.

Gail-Cam ran her hands down over her breasts. She'd grown quite fond of her new 'attributes', and the way everyone else seemed to like them. The new girls seemed especially infatuated with her current appearance and female attributes.

"We all would." Gail-Cam said. "I'm starting to get used to these knockers. At first they were in the way they're so big. I like them now."

Holly touched her breasts.

"Do you like them better than mine?" Holly asked.

Gail-Cam was excited at the prospect.

"Let's find out." Gail-Cam said.

They headed off to the spare bedroom of the Master Suite.

Holly wanted to do a few more things with the three new girls. She didn't want to seem rude or insensitive if she left later on.

"I want to switch out with Ally and Hanna before morning." Holly said.

Gail-Cam already planned to do the same thing.

"I do too." Gail-Cam said. "We can stay busy in here until then. Mary, Laura and Leticia need to sleep some."

Holly knew they would have plenty of free time.

"We don't." Holly said.

Gail-Cam thought of several advantages of being a cyborg.

"It's one of the joys of being mechanical." Gail-Cam said.

The Metal girls were aware of their ability to perform and not to need to rest. The human girls were good for multiple finishes. They eventually tired out, even if they could still finish more. Their experience with a male through Cameron, left a lot to be desired. Once the male finished, things sort of dropped off, quite literally, to nothing. There was a physical limitation to the amount of finishes possible for a male. It was a very poor evolutionary design. Perhaps it was to ensure the female would seek out additional sexual partners to insure reproduction of the species.

There seemed to be multiple instances in the animal world where such things actually occurred on a regular basis. Humans may be more advanced and evolved than other animals, but they were still animals. All the primal instincts were there.


Savannah wanted to overfly the convoy on the way back to the base. They were all headed to a remote location where all the captured equipment would be taken to be analyzed and checked for anything hidden.

Cammy kept an eye on Savannah. It was on Savannah herself. It wasn't her flying. Her flying was superb. It was her physical health which worried her.

"How are you doing?" Cammy asked.

Savannah was tired, sleepy and hungry. Actually the hunger already dissipated some. She was 'past' being hungry right now.

"I'm fine." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't think so.

"Do you want to go to Palmdale or Cameron's base when we get back?" Cammy asked. "Ned can take over and drop us off near either location."

At this point, Savannah just wanted to get some sleep.

"I don't know." Savannah said.

Cammy could see Savannah was a little hesitant. She didn't want to push too hard.

"Maybe tomorrow we can do one or both." Cammy said.

Savannah knew Cammy didn't like her to see CamNet when she went to Cameron's base.

"Let's see what develops over the rest of the night. They might turn up some leads on the captured phones or hard drives." Savannah said. "We can run them down tomorrow first."

Cammy didn't like to see Savannah push herself so hard.

"You need some 'me time' for yourself." Cammy said.

Savannah needed to fill in for Cameron. She saw it as her duty to everyone.

"I can think about it when Cameron returns." Savannah said. "Right now the team comes first."

They both knew Savannah being able to rest when Cameron returned was unlikely. Cameron would probably try and get 'caught up' on everything and run Savannah even harder.

"Ned can fly now if you want to go in the back with me to rest." Cammy said.

Savannah wanted to make a joke about it.

"As long as he keeps it above five thousand feet, we could join the 'mile high club'." Savannah said.

Much to their surprise Ned chimed in.

"I can do it. I'll make sure we are above five thousand two hundred and eighty feet until you're finished." Ned said. "I'll keep it one mile above the terrain instead of just sea level."

Savannah suppressed a laugh. It was obvious he was sincere and wanted to 'help'. She hadn't thought much about Ned in the back since they cut the van loose in the 'deep blue'.

"I'm good for now." Savannah said.

She checked her position.

"We're just over two minutes out." Savannah said.

Cammy noticed.

"You will intercept the team in two minutes and three seconds." Cammy said. "You're right on course."

It's what Savannah figured.

"Just make sure all the drones give us space." Savannah said.

Cammy received a transmission from CamNet.

"'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb' have indicated they will make sure you have plenty of space." Cammy said.

Savannah already figured they would. She spotted the trucks down on the highway with the SUV escort and tail. It crossed her mind she should stay with them.

"There they are." Savannah said. "We could escort them."

Cammy didn't want Savannah to delay. CamNet covered the convoy with a force of drones.

"They have plenty of drones for escort. The Iroquois will only draw attention to them if you slow to freeway speeds." Cammy said. "You can continue back to Van Nuys."

Savannah increased her speed slightly.

'I can hack it.' Savannah said to herself.

She was glad the troops below saw she came to check on them.

CamNet would make sure the troops knew Savannah suggested she could escort them. If they didn't have all the drone support, they would have stayed.


Young Allison was in her bed. She'd 'finished' for a second time a short while ago. She thought it would ease her mind some. It did for a while. She was worried about Savannah still being out.

She reached over and looked at her tablet. The tracking data showed Savannah was still about forty minutes away from Van Nuys. They would need to go back to the base. It would take more time. Savannah would need to get cleaned up. Maybe Cammy or one of the other girls there would want to spend some time with her. Maybe it would be her mother.

She knew it happened a lot with her mother in Cameron's future and a few times in the present. It was really no different than Savannah being with any of the other girls. Savannah shared with all of them.

It bothered her more than a little when she thought about it. How could she ever compete against her mother with any of the other females? Her mother was experienced. She wasn't. Her mother would be able to please all of them better. Her mother, and everyone else, could please Savannah better than she would be able to.

Young Allison set her tablet back down. Now she was a little irritated and disappointed.

Savannah didn't need everyone else. It was her future.

She tossed and turned in bed for a while. She'd watched all the videos about what to do. She'd spied on everyone firsthand and watched what they all did. She even knew how each of them responded to different things. They didn't always respond the same way, to the same things, when it was done by a different person.

Maybe another 'finish' would help her sleep….


Jim was content when things calmed down some. They sounded like anything but calm in the Owner's Suite. It sounded like Cameron was really giving John a workout. It was a good thing John was able to get a few hours of sleep in earlier after Allison left. He wanted as many of the females to be with John as possible. It should keep Cameron away from wanting to use his chassis.

He frequently checked on the cameras in the two suites down the hall. Mary, Laura and Leticia all got some sleep in. Every time they woke up, the Metal girls had already switched partners on them. They were certainly getting a workout too. He watched them switch from partner to partner and never miss a beat or slow down. It was evident to him the human female body was superior for all sexual activity.

He checked on Dan and Frank. He needed to make sure all the police patrols were away from them. They'd taken an active role in stopping petty crimes when they patrolled on foot. There hadn't been a single 911 call from people in Golden Gate Park since they made two sweeps of it. There was a notable increase in visits to local medical clinics and the emergency rooms at a few hospitals. They'd only needed to do a few terminations and they took care of the clean up on those. They'd even needed to conduct a special operation for CamNet earlier.

He checked on Savannah. She was almost back to Van Nuys.

He noticed Leticia was at it again. He made sure he saved all the files. They were all worth watching again. He knew John Henry and CamNet watched them too.


Frank and Dan freed a group of females who'd just come in 'fresh off the boat'. They'd taken out a group of their handlers, as well as three thugs who attempted to jump them in an alley.

They were aware the individuals who were out during the 'Witching Hour' were usually up to no good. The people they preyed upon were usually partially responsible for the things which happened to them. Many of them dealt on the fringes of illicit and illegal activity. Excessive alcohol consumption and illegal drug use were two of the biggest contributing factors.

Their current foray had cost them twenty minutes away from the park. They were still a few minutes out. They spotted a man and a woman, with a short red skirt, exit out of a drinking establishment. Serving drinks stopped at 2:00 AM. It was the official time. It wasn't always strictly adhered to. An individual could order a number of drinks before the cutoff time and then spend the next hour or two consuming them.

"Those two are headed for trouble." Dan said.

Frank could see he was correct. After they'd exited the drinking establishment, they weren't even sure which direction to go. They started to go in one direction for the length of a building. They then turned around and went back in the other direction. There seemed to be a lot of laughing going on. It appeared the female needed to stabilize the male.

"Let me off at the corner." Frank said. "Drive around the block and park behind them."

Dan thought it was a good idea.

"I can follow you as necessary if they're able to make it as far as where you're at." Dan said.

Dan left Frank off at the corner. He continued on around the block.

Frank leaned up against the side of the wall at the corner and peered around it. He could see the male and female approach him. He was a little surprised to see the female's top was open. It didn't seem as if she was aware of it. The night air was rather chilly. With her short skirt and open top, she should be cold. It didn't appear as if she even noticed.

He was pretty sure they'd done more than have a drink too many. They were probably also on some type of illegal narcotic. He wondered which one of them was supposed to drive. Driving while impaired was a serious infraction. It was also incredibly dangerous and sometimes proved deadly. Unfortunately, the person usually killed in a vehicle accident associated with an impaired driver wasn't the impaired driver, it was the innocent person.

Frank heard some noise behind him on the side street. He turned back in the direction to see what what's going on. There appear to be two men in some type of altercation down the street. There was some arguing and heavy pushing back and forth. When he looked back in the direction of the male and female, only the male was still staggering down the street. There was no sign of the female.

Dan came around the corner at the other end of the block. He noticed right away the female was missing.

"Where's the female at?" Dan asked. "Did she get into a car?"

Frank wasn't sure what happened.

"I don't know." Frank said. "I turned away for a few seconds. There was some type of altercation down the street in back of me. When I looked back, she was gone."

Instead of stopping at the far corner, Dan continue down the street at a slow speed.

"Where did she go?" Dan asked.

Frank felt a little frustrated. He started down the street towards the staggering man.

"She was just gone." Frank said. "It only happened in the last fifteen seconds."

Frank could hear the sounds of someone struggling. There were some muffled cries. He passed by the staggering man. The man didn't even seem to notice him. There was a gap between two of the buildings. He quickly moved over and looked between them.

The female was on the ground. He could see a man on top of her. Another one held her shoulders down. He tried to cover her mouth as well.

Dan saw where Frank was at. He also watched the man staggering down the street. Two individuals came around the corner where Frank had been only moments ago. It must be the men who Frank mentioned earlier. They were still pushing each other. They stopped when they saw the staggering man coming. They moved back around the corner and waited.

It was clear they intended to do something.

Dan and Frank quietly communicated what each one of them observed.

Frank said he could handle the two perpetrators with the female.

Dan said he would take care of the other two thugs at the corner.

Frank quickly moved up behind the male on top of the female. He could see him fumbling around at his waist. It was obvious what he was about to do.

"You're going to have a good time, Bitch." The first man said.

Frank moved towards the man.

"Not as good as I'm going to have." Frank said.

Frank rabbit punched the perpetrator in the back of the neck. He snapped his neck. The man dropped down on top of the female. He reached up and grabbed the other man by the neck and slammed him against a brick wall.

"Crimes against females will not be tolerated." Frank said.

Frank snapped the other man's neck and dropped him to the ground. He grabbed the man on top of the female and tossed him on top of the other man. He noted the crazy angle of his head when he landed. He'd obviously completely severed his spinal column with his punch.

He looked down at the female. Her top was wide open. He noticed there was a tattoo of a colorful butterfly on her left breast. Her skirt was pulled up. Her underwear was still on. She didn't appear to be conscious anymore. She'd either blacked out from the incident, or from the substances she must have consumed earlier. He pulled her skirt down and buttoned two buttons on her top. He picked her up and carried her away from the two terminated perpetrators.

Dan pulled up at the corner just as the two men were about to come around it and grab the staggering man. He hopped out of the SUV and took the keys with him.

The two aggressors froze when they saw him approach. They took on a confrontational posture.

"What do we have here?" The first thug asked.

"It looks like a tough guy." The second thug said.

Dan looked at the two thugs with disgust.

"Leave now and you won't be injured severely." Dan said.

Both of the thugs laughed as they produced knives.

"Give us your wallet, your phone and your keys." The first thug said.

"If you're quick, you might not be injured too severely." The second thug said.

Both of the men laughed out loud.

Dan pulled out his silenced M9

"Do you want my firearm as well?" Dan asked.

The two thugs were scared.

"Hey, man, take it easy, dude." The first thug said.

Dan didn't care for the attitude of the two men. He continued to approach them.

"If you move, you die." Dan said. "Drop the knives, or you die."

The staggering man passed by in back of them. He didn't seem to notice the altercation occurring literally feet away from him.

One of the thugs lunged at Dan.

Dan grabbed his knife arm and swung it around. He jammed into the chest of the second thug who attempted to follow his lead. He reached out with his other hand and grabbed the other thugs' hand with the knife in it and jammed it into the chest of the man whose arm he already held. Both men dropped to the ground. Each of their knives was in the other man's heart.

Frank arrived at the corner with the female in his arms.

CamNet informed them there would be a special cab arriving in approximately one minute. It was part of a local group to get intoxicated and impaired drivers off of the street. They provided free rides and safe service. The cab arrived on time. They loaded the male and female into the backseat and gave the driver a twenty dollar tip. They watched the cab drive away. They got back into the SUV and drove off.

They were back in Golden Gate Park in a few minutes.

Frank and Dan really wanted to find one of the gang members in the park Sheila and Cameron 'backed down' earlier. It would send a strong message that the park 'belonged' to Sheila now.

"Maybe we can have Jim check facial recognition against the police files on the gang members." Dan said. "We can go by their last known address and check on them."

Frank liked the idea. He enjoyed their new role as 'Enforcers'. Who did all the law breakers and criminals think they were anyway? Maybe a better question was, why did the authorities allow the criminals to get away with everything they did, and never actually punish them? If there was no actual downside or punishment, why would they ever change? No wonder the politicians were 'sellouts' and became Grays in the future. They didn't have any character or backbone.

"I agree." Frank said. "It's time to take out the trash."

Dan and Frank wanted to stop playing nice. They were Terminators and they would enforce the laws. The perpetrators should face the same fate they'd intended for their victims. They didn't need to wait for the future to do their jobs and deal with Scavengers then. They could start now. It was time to protect the future by cleaning up the present.

"How do you want to play it?" Dan asked.

Frank smiled and secured his M9.

"We're Terminators." Frank said. "It's time to send a message like it was done to the Scavengers in the future."

Dan secured his M9 as well.

"Frisco better prepare for a – Future Shock." Dan said.

By the nature of their construction, their hardware and the software was designed originally for one thing. It was to terminate humans.

"Payback time…." Frank said.


Cammy worked with CamNet and the tower at Van Nuys. Savannah was cleared for a direct approach. She carefully moved out of the pilot's seat and let Ned take her position.

Savannah watched them switch. She would land in front of the Resistance hangar. Ned would take the Huey back to where it was rented from. It would save them the walk back. It would also allow her to get back to the base a little earlier.

She checked around her as she brought the helicopter down for a smooth landing. There was plenty of light on the tarmac for a clear visual landing by the hangar.

Cammy exited out the side door of the Iroquois and opened Savannah's door for her.

Savannah made sure everything was in order. She reached over and touched Ned on the cheek as she smiled at him. She nodded her thanks. He seemed very pleased. She got out and Cammy closed the door.

They moved away from the helicopter and it took off.

Savannah took in the cool night air.

"Are you warm enough?" Cammy asked.

Savannah was still a little keyed up from the flight.

"I'm fine." Savannah said.

There was an SUV sitting there waiting for them.

Savannah was a little surprised to see a Terminator get out of it.

"It's all warmed up and ready to go." He said. "It's fully stocked with gear and weapons."

Savannah recognized him as one of Cameron's newer accusations.

Savannah moved up and touched his cheek and smiled.

"Thanks, Wes." Savannah said. "I appreciate this."

Wes smiled at her in return. He was pleased with the interaction. He hadn't seen Savannah since he'd asked her to pick a name for him. He was very pleased to have been named by the 'Chosen One'.

He left and went back into the Resistance hangar. They both saw him touch his cheek where Savannah touched him as he went inside.

It still irritated Cammy some. It was clear every Terminator would follow Savannah because they all loved her. Even if they didn't know they loved her, they did. It was the check and balance the 'Chosen One' had over Cameron and CamNet.

"You have a way with the boys." Cammy said.

Savannah smiled

"I'd like to have a way with the girls better." Savannah said.

Cammy smiled.

"I think it can be arranged." Cammy said.

Cammy offered Savannah the driver's seat.

"I'll let you drive." Savannah said.

Cammy smiled. She knew Savannah was tired if she turned down the opportunity to drive home. She wanted to give her something positive to think about.

"I'll 'drive' when we get back to the base too." Cammy said.

Savannah giggled.

"It sounds good to me." Savannah said.

Savannah thought about using the restroom in the hangar. She decided she could wait a little longer. She'd been able to use the one in the building where they'd deactivated the computer at before they'd left.

She climbed into the passenger's seat and stretched out as best as she could when she leaned the seat back.

Cammy noticed. She could see Savannah was beat. She also saw she favored her one side a little.

Cammy left the hangar and airport behind.

They went over to the first main street and headed for the base.

They passed a bar. Cammy looked over at it. They'd experienced some trouble there before on an operation with Cameron and some drug dealers. Cameron won and they lost.

There was a shrill scream.

Savannah's eyes were just about closed when she heard it. She instantly put her seat back up and looked around.

"Where was that?" Savannah asked.

Cammy kept driving.

"At the bar we just passed." Cammy said.

It sounded like a female in distress.

"Go back." Savannah said. "Let's check it out. We're right here."

Cammy kept driving.

"The local authorities can handle it." Cammy said. "I'm taking you back to the base."

Savannah thought about Vanna, Jesse and Allison. She wasn't going to let anyone be brutalized if she could prevent it.

"Go back now." Savannah said sternly.

Cammy and her still wore their vests. Steve and Tom gave them their Tasers and a few full magazines for her M9. They were actually combat ready right now.

Savannah wanted Cammy to speed things up.

Cammy frowned and turned around.

Savannah wanted to prevent a life from being ruined.

"What if it was me?" Savannah asked. "We can help right now."

Savannah saw Cammy's eyes flash red for a second.

Cammy was upset at the thought of Savannah being abused by anyone. She would personally deal with the threat if it was encountered.

"I'll lead if we identify a problem." Cammy said. "There's no exception."

Savannah figured as much. She felt the need to help.

"If we can help someone from having a ruined life, there's no reason we can't assist them if we're right here." Savannah said.

Cammy knew Savannah was right. She also knew Savannah was 'Savannah'. She wanted to help people when she could.

"You're right." Cammy said. "There can still be great danger to you. Keep it in mind."

Cammy arrived back in front of the bar and looked around. She drove into the side parking lot. She turned off the lights and continued around into the back.

There was another muffled scream. It sounded like there was a hand over someone's mouth. It was behind the dumpster.

Cammy and Savannah got out of the SUV.

Savannah held her Taser in her hand. Her M9 was ready as well. She hoped they didn't need to terminate someone if it could be avoided. 'Scavenger like' behavior would normally warrant termination.

They could hear struggling and what sounded like cloth rip. Something flew in the air. A pair of ripped female underwear landed in front of them. They could see they were purple. It was clear what was about to happen.

Cammy moved rapidly along the far side of the dumpster. A second later a man with his pants undone landed hard on the asphalt. He didn't move.

Savannah looked around and covered him with her Taser. A half of a second later, another man plopped to the ground in front of the dumpster.

Cammy appeared moments later holding an unconscious woman in her arms. She was naked below the waist. She wore one high heel shoe only.

"She wasn't abused yet." Cammy said. "It was a few seconds away from it."

Savannah went over and looked where Cammy picked the female up from. There was a skirt on the ground and a purse. She picked both of them up. She noticed a single high heel shoe. She picked it up too.

Cammy carried the female to their SUV.

Savannah ran over and opened the rear door for her.

Cammy placed the female on the rear seat.

Savannah checked the woman for injuries.

Cammy walked briskly away from the SUV towards the men.

Savannah was sure of what Cammy was about to do.

"Don't kill them." Savannah said.

She watched Cammy kick both men hard between their legs. She quickly walked back. She picked the ripped underwear off of the ground and tossed them in the dumpster.

Savannah didn't ask and Cammy didn't say.

She felt good they'd helped someone out of a jam.

Savannah wondered what Cammy did to the two men. She looked at the unconscious female. She didn't care what was done to the men. They'd dug their own grave by their own actions.

They drove the woman, who was now 'passed out drunk', to her home and let her off. They placed her on her bed and left.


The female Fanatic and Jill made their way to the office which looked out over the workroom area. Almost all of the HK Tracks were loaded onto the trucks. There were several men moving around crates with a pallet jack. She spotted a ring of keys on a nail by the door. She hadn't noticed them earlier. She quickly went over to them and grabbed them. She could see they were several keys for padlocks on the ring.

"Follow me." The female Fanatic said.

She quickly headed down the hallway.

Jill looked behind her at the men moving around on the workroom floor. Every one of those men had been with her when was tied to the bunk. They all disgusted her. She would like to give all of them the same treatment as she'd given the other man. Right now survival seemed more important than vengeance. She hurried after her liberator.

"Where are we going?" Jill asked.

They arrived at the heavy steel door at the front of the building.

"Hopefully to get you out of harm's way." The female Fanatic said.

The female Fanatic looked at the keys. She tried one of them. It didn't turn the lock. She tried a second one. It didn't turn the lock. She tried a third one. The lock snapped open with a 'click'. She was able to unlock the door and open it.

"Listen to me, if you want to live." The female Fanatic said.

She quickly told Jill what she needed to do if she wanted to get away. She told her to go over to the dry gulch and follow it down the hill. She told her how to get under the fence by moving the brush. She told her there was a vehicle parked near the main road. She would see it after she spotted the SUV in the ditch. She handed her the keys for the vehicle. She told her to dump the vehicle as soon as possible and forget any of this ever happened.

She told Jill the 'terrorists' had ties in law enforcement. If she filed any kind of a report, they would know who she was and where to find her.

"I don't have a phone or any money." Jill said.

The female Fanatic reached in one of her pockets and came out with a handful of cash. She handed it to Jill. She also gave her one of the phones she carried. She had over half a dozen of them.

"Don't turn this phone on until you need to use it." The female Fanatic said. "You can use it one time and then you need to get rid of it. It belongs to one of these people. They'll track you down. I think you know by now what's going to happen. What already happened will be nothing compared to what will happen."

She told Jill to keep the pistol and all but pushed her out of the door. She needed to get to work.

The female Fanatic closed the metal door. She didn't latch it. She quickly headed back down the hallway. She took a quick look through the office window at the workroom floor. She could see all of the HK Tracks were loaded. They were still moving crates and pallets around. She opened the door from the hallway and quickly moved past the bathrooms and in back of the storage racks. It was time to leave a few presents behind.

She'd noticed there were several drums on pallets earlier. She approached them now. They were the same types of chemicals she'd ruptured at the previous location. She looked over as another truck pulled away from the dock. Two of them had already left. It looked like they were closing up the back of the third one. She took out the C-4 and the timer. She placed it between two of the drums. There were four of them in total. She set the timer for two hours. She started it and watched the little red numbers start counting down.

The third truck pulled away from the dock. It moved away about a hundred feet. There was a loud hiss of air and the truck suddenly stopped.

She could see it distracted the men loading the trucks. Several of them jumped off the dock to go down and take a look. She saw it as an opportunity to make a move. She moved along the back wall and then the side wall. The closest truck to where she was at was almost loaded. There were two HK Tracks in the back of it, along with a few crates.

She made a dash for the back of the truck. She looked off to the side as she entered. She didn't spot anyone, even if she could hear things moving. She quickly clambered over top of the crates and moved back to where the HK Tracks were at. She didn't think any of them had been activated since they hadn't been previously. She'd watched them earlier as they were loaded with a forklift.

The female Fanatic took a moment to collect herself. She still had one hand grenade, her Beretta, a knife and the Satchel charge. Once they closed up the truck, she would see if she could remove the power cells from either of the HK Tracks. She was sure the satchel charge would detonate one of them. Right now she laid down on the floor behind the crates and in front of the HK Tracks. It seemed as if the trucks would be loaded soon enough. She heard two more of them leave as she waited.


CamNet's Terminators were a little disappointed to find out there was another assignment waiting for them. It wasn't to go after the female Fanatic yet. They were advised there was a lot of activity going on at the location she'd entered. It appeared the trucks were being loaded. They didn't know if she was the cause of the sudden activity or not.

They were reminded the other Metal girls were all tied up with the ship currently. They weren't able to conduct Cameron's 'off the books' operations. Things were several days behind now.

There was a large shipment of drugs which arrived along with a new dealer. It never took long for a new dealer to pop up once one was taken down. The normal procedure was to pit one or more of the gangs against each other. They took care of most of the work for them. There seemed to be some poetic justice to have the parasites kill each other.

What made the new dealer noteworthy was who their backer was. It was a new lieutenant in the Syndicate. They'd decided to run an end game around their bosses. The Syndicate would find out about it soon enough. In the meantime, they were about to unleash a large quantity of poison onto the streets.

Tina didn't see what the rush was on their part.

"It seems like it would be much quicker to call in a drone strike on the location." Tina said.

Lena had to agree.

"It would be rather efficient." Lena said. "It appears CamNet wants to make it personal."

They weren't sure if they'd be going in as teenage runaways or as Terminators.

They stopped a quarter of a mile away from the target. The drone over them went to do reconnaissance and low level scans. They didn't need to worry about a Terminator at the next location.

There was a warehouse behind several storefronts.

The easiest thing would be to have the police handle it. Unfortunately, all the drug operations had 'ears' in the different police departments around the area. It had already been stated by more than one news anchor how the current crop of police candidates and police officers would be gang members, if they weren't police officers. It was more of a case of the gangs taking over the police departments. There'd been multiple media reports about different 'police gangs' in different police departments. The Sheriff's Department seemed to be heavily plagued with such rumors.

The drone scan revealed things had quieted down for the night. The big shipment arrived a few hours ago. Most everyone had gone to their residence to sleep. More than likely, after a drug and sex fueled night, most of the thugs wouldn't be up until noon tomorrow. The majority of action in the underworld happened in the hours of darkness.

"It looks like there are four thugs guarding the warehouse." Tina said. "It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to take down."

CamNet's Terminators approached the location on foot. They wanted to get things wrapped up. It would be daylight soon enough.


Take Me All The Way

Thoughts of doubt and confusion
Inside one's head may ricochet
Desire, hope, want and reality
Are all in a giant melee

To open up and express
Puts one's feelings on display
They want to convey
As themselves they portray

Time itself is heavy
The past itself can weigh
Can anyone really change anything
Or can they only the inevitable delay

The choices in life
Are a mediocre buffet
Will one feast on what's average
Or will they wait for something gourmet

I am here to serve
I will listen and obey
I'm ready now for you
To take me all the way

Nobody
