Chapter 1407
Just A Little Lower
Cammy moved around the two shredded Grays and into the building. Savannah followed her in. They could hear an electric type noise every now and then. All the power was cut, so it was something else inside the building.
They moved past the office area in the front towards the workroom area in the back. There was a big hole in the roof. They approached a pile of debris underneath the hole. In the center of it was the HK drone. It crashed back through the roof and into the building. They spotted the rear door roll up door of the building was open. It was where the HK drone was most likely launched from.
Cammy didn't approach it right away. There was still the possibility there were more Grays hidden somewhere in the building.
They spotted the vehicle the Grays arrived in parked inside the building. There was a second vehicle there as well. It really indicated more Grays somewhere.
Savannah looked around the room.
"Is there any other HK equipment in here?" Savannah whispered.
Savannah wasn't able to spot anything else with her night vision on.
Cammy couldn't see anything else either. It didn't mean there wasn't.
"I can't see anymore from here." Cammy whispered. "We still need to check the other side of the building. There's a wall in the way."
Savannah covered Cammy while she went over and deactivated the downed HK drone. They didn't hear the intermittent electrical noise again afterwards.
Cammy rejoined Savannah after a short time. She carried the 'shocker' she'd removed from the downed HK drone in her hand. She could see a concerned look on Savannah's face as she held it. She'd made sure it was turned off before she removed it from where it had been.
"Don't worry I turned it off." Cammy whispered.
Savannah didn't want to have any unnecessary shutdowns. She wondered about the condition of the devices. She watched her remove the one from the HK Track earlier when she'd deactivated it.
"Are either of the shockers you retrieved reusable?" Savannah whispered.
Cammy checked out both of the ones she carried. One looked a little worse for the wear. It may have been damaged when the HK drone crashed back through the roof. At least it wasn't knocked off of the HK drone.
"One should be functional." Cammy whispered. "I'll need to stick it on by hand at this point. I still have the one from yesterday too."
Savannah stuck one of those on an HK Track herself yesterday.
"It means we need to get in close again." Savannah whispered.
Cammy was pleased the new 'sticky shocker' round actually worked. Being able to be fired from an M203 gave it quite a bit of additional range. It should work against a Terminator as well.
There was a noise at the front of the building.
They heard through their coms it was Al and Ed. They'd just arrived. Some additional backup seemed like a good thing at this point.
Cammy sent them a message to approach with caution. There were most likely some more Grays in the building. They decided to hold where they were at until Al and Ed approached them. They didn't want any friendly fire.
Steve and Tom entered the building which was behind the group during the attack. It was on the south side of the street. It was the one where the first HK Track came out of.
The HK Track Savannah hit with the LAW rocket was damaged and inoperable. The 'control center' was where the rocket hit and instantly disabled the HK Track. There was no longer a center for commands to be received or the unit to operate autonomously, other than the 'lobotomy', it was largely intact.
They moved further into the lobby past the disabled HK Track. It no longer sparked. They could hear a grinding sound once they moved further in.
Tom was concerned as to what they heard.
"The HK drone which was hit in its power plants, is still trying to fly." Tom said in a low decibel tone.
They hoped it wasn't pointed in their direction. It might still be able to use some of its weapons. The weapons may be damaged as well after the plunge through the roof into the interior of the building.
Steve and Tom were advised there was the possibility of hidden Grays. They entered the workroom area of the building. The HK drone was halfway through the roof. It was jammed against the ground at an angle. It sparked every time they heard the grinding noise. It might still be able to fire its weapons into the floor in front of it. It would cause a lot of ricochets and shrapnel if it did.
They were able to approach it from the side and move behind it. Tom disconnected the power supply and the grinding noise stopped along with the sparking.
The rear roll up door was open. It didn't look like it was automatic. There was most likely one Gray, or maybe more, still in the building.
They called for a drone scan of their building and the one across the street. They received word it was already done and still being done. The only thing moving were their teams. Hank and Larry would be able to join them in one minute. They directed them to enter from the rear roll up door which was open.
The performance was almost over in the main theater. It pleased Cameron greatly to see how much Allison, Vanna and Young Jesse enjoyed it.
They exited on the lower level when it finished. They went down the hall. They reached a small lounge before they arrived at the elevator bank.
Cameron wanted everyone to have a good time. She wanted to give them the freedom to do what they wanted.
"Who wants to do what?" Cameron asked. "Everyone is free to go anywhere or do what they want."
It was clear Vanna and Allison were going to hook up with Mary and Laura again. It meant Gail-Cam would need to go with them.
Cameron quietly asked Holly-Camille to go with them as well. She assured her she would be with Young Jesse and John.
Sheila and Leticia went off on their own. It wasn't a surprise to anyone.
It left John alone with Young Jesse and Cameron.
John wasn't sure what else was going to happen or when. He wasn't about to force the issue with Cameron or Young Jesse. He figured the ball was in Cameron's court. He would leave the final decision up to her.
Cameron could see John needed some prompting. She was the one in control so she didn't have a problem with anything that happened. It was because she was the one who made it all happen. She wanted to give John and Young Jesse free rein of the ship.
"John, I want you and your date to have a good time." Cameron said. "I'll hang back. I won't listen to anything. I'll only keep track of your whereabouts. You're free to do anything you two want to do."
Cameron felt she'd explained to both of them individually, and personally, about how she viewed everything and what she wanted to happen.
Young Jesse looked a little nervous. It was a big step which was unchangeable once it was taken. She wanted to make sure she didn't overstep her bounds.
"Are you sure about 'everything', Cameron?" Young Jesse asked.
Cameron smiled and moved forward. She gave John and Young Jesse both a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sure about it." Cameron said. "It's what I want for both John and you. I want it for Jesse too. We all have a part to play in the endeavor. It means a lot to all of us. I think it means the most to Jesse going forward. We all know who belongs to who."
John was going to say something. He was still a little uneasy.
Cameron could see his apprehension. She held out her left hand. There was no glitch evident.
She didn't ask anyone for the details of what happened earlier with Vanna and Allison when they'd visited John. She hoped there'd been two successful couplings. She didn't know. She figured someone would tell her at some point what happened. She hoped it would be Vanna and Allison. She would rather hear it from them.
Cameron didn't want to point out in front of Young Jesse that John was with Vanna and Allison earlier in their suite. It was just to get him warmed up and acclimated for Young Jesse.
She tried to push the thoughts from her mind. She really hoped it worked out for Vanna and helped free her from her past. It was time to move things along. She wanted to give them some options.
"You two can go to the buffet, the rear lounge or any lounge actually. There's usually some kind of music playing. You can dance or just hang out." Cameron said. "You can go to the suite for 'privacy' if you want to try 'something else'. I think you should 'give it a try' and see how it goes. I won't go in or listen. Remember, anything goes. You're free to do whatever you want. What happens on the ship, stays on the ship."
A giant smile blossomed on Young Jesse's face. She was apprehensive about what needed to happen but she wasn't apprehensive about what she wanted to happen. She really wanted to help Jesse out. She also wanted to see what it was like to be with a male. She loved John dearly.
"I really appreciate this, Cameron." Young Jesse said. "I expect John to 'deliver' so I can deliver in nine months."
Cameron could see John swallow hard. He looked more nervous than Young Jesse did.
John wanted the 'prize' Young Jesse offered. Even though she'd delivered one baby for Duplicate Jesse, she still hadn't been with a male for sex or love making yet. He would still be the 'first'. It would still be her 'first time'.
Cameron smiled at both of them and walked away from them. She turned down her hearing as she did. She appreciated the sacrifice the girls were willing to go through to help the older versions of themselves. She thought it spoke of their integrity and fortitude. It also showed their commitment to the cause and to the future. It was their way to spit in the face of Skynet for what it had taken from the older girls.
Most of all, she wanted John protected. She didn't want him assassinated because of her. It would be something she'd never be able to live with.
Cameron didn't need to remind herself everyone sacrifices for John Connor. She reminded herself anyway. The future was important. Without the future, there was no future.
Sarah and Claire got a lot of 'touching' in during the dance and music practice.
There was no part of their bodies which wasn't touched by the other one, even if most of it was through their clothing. The message was clearly sent. Even the stimulation each of them received was magnified just by the nature of what they were doing, rather than the stimulation itself.
Claire felt she'd pushed Sarah very hard in several different ways. Not only were her desires telegraphed, she'd also given Sarah a very strenuous workout.
Sarah thought about sitting on the sofa for a few minutes. The dance routine was actually very tiring.
She just needed to rest for a little bit….
Sarah went over to the door and looked both ways before she closed it. She looked at Claire and locked it. She really didn't know what to say, other than to just say it.
"I want a little more but I don't want to go too far at first." Sarah said. "I really like and enjoy being around you for 'everything'."
Sarah smiled and walked over to Claire. She took her hand and led her to the sofa. They sat down side by side. She leaned over and kissed Claire. She held the kiss and deepened it some but not too much. After about twenty seconds Claire deepened it. She did as well. They increased the intensity every few seconds until it was a very passionate kiss.
They both touched each other's face as they kissed. Sarah moved her hand over the curve along the side of Claire's torso.
Sarah's hand reached up and found Claire's left breast inside her shirt. Claire's hand slid inside her shirt and did the same. The physical contact effort further excited her.
She felt herself lose control. She wasn't really sure why she was doing this, other than she felt the need to do it. There was a compulsion inside of her. She was with Claire right now but she knew she would do this with any of the females at the base. She didn't care if it was Allison, Vanna, Jesse or Riley. She needed to be with a female again. Everything was all happening so fast and right now.
She'd only planned to do some simple kissing and maybe some touching. Right now they were already past that point and going strong. She really liked the way Claire kissed and could almost feel her mouth elsewhere on her body. She wanted it bad right now. She wanted it real bad. She pulled her top off and moved Claire's head down to her breasts. She could feel Claire unbuckle her pants. She slipped them off along with her underwear. She guided Claire's head lower. Just a little lower, it was where she wanted it.
Sarah directed Claire where she wanted her to go. Things got good real fast. It was only one way right now, but it was worth it. She wanted it really bad herself, real bad. Just to feel Claire respond to her was going to get her over the top. Claire really stayed with it. She wanted to 'make it' really bad this way. It was actually her favorite way.
Cammy directed Al and Ed to check the left side of the building further while she would check the right side with Savannah. They were on the lookout for any hidden Grays. There were drones scanning above them and around them. They looked for the smallest threat.
Savannah was off to the side and two steps behind Cammy on her left side. She didn't spot any movement of any kind. Cammy stopped and she almost passed her before she realized it. She'd looked off to her left for a second at Al and Ed.
She looked at where Cammy looked. They were just about around the wall. It blocked the right half of the workroom floor from their direct view.
They were notified Richard and Michael were on their way to join them. Al replied he would wait for them on the left side. They expected Cammy or Savannah to reply but there was only silence. It could only mean one thing, contact.
John Henry processed a lot of information. There was quite a bit available to him. He tried to filter out what was important for Summer to look at. Somehow she seemed to be ahead of him. CamNet fed her information too.
"Cammy and Savannah have contact." Summer said.
John Henry looked at the same information as well as their body cams. He didn't see anything and there was no positive hit from the drones which scanned overhead.
Summer wanted to help John Henry out.
"It's to the right of Cammy. Savannah is next to her and sees it too." Summer said.
John Henry checked again.
"What's the contact?" John Henry asked. "I don't see anything and nothing shows up on the scans. What do you see?"
Summer focused on a multitude of images on several screens.
"I see everything." Summer said.
Steve directed Hank and Larry to check the exterior of the building before they entered. He wanted them to make sure there was no one hiding somewhere outside. They would each go along one side and meet up in the back. The drones hadn't detected anyone. Someone opened the roll up door on the building. They weren't visible inside. They may have tried to make an escape when the shooting started. Most likely they were waiting to spring an ambush.
John Henry told him Brian and Randy would arrive soon, they were on their way in from Palmdale. Steve suggested they acquire a couple of large box trucks. They would need them for the captured and disable HK equipment. There were at least two HK Tracks and two HK drones to transport.
Steve and Tom searched the building and couldn't find anyone. No one was picked up by their drones or indicated they'd left the area. Larry and Hank didn't find anything outside. Once they entered the building, they helped Steve and Tom pull the damaged HK drone out of the rubble of the roof. There was a loud crash as they pulled it the rest of the way into the building from the angle it was at halfway through the roof. The four of them lifted it to carry it to the back to get it ready for transport. They found the body of a Gray under the crashed HK drone. It crushed him when it crashed through the roof. It appeared that his own actions indirectly led to his own demise.
It looked like everything was under control and accounted for in the building.
Hank and Larry were dispatched to go collect the bodies of the Grays the drones took down earlier. There were eight bodies to collect in four places.
Cammy paused as she looked around the corner of the wall. Savannah was next to her.
There was another HK Track. It was just sitting there.
Cammy didn't want to make a frontal approach on it. It might be 'playing possum'. If it opened up with its minigun, it could shred the interior of the building in no time. She decided to move Savannah back. They warned Al and Ed along with Michael and Richard.
She went over the plans of the building which were sent to them earlier. There was a more indirect route they could take to reach it.
"There's another way over to the other side." Cammy said. "Take this and follow me."
Cammy took out the shocker Savannah used yesterday and handed it to her. She handed her the one she'd used yesterday because she knew it worked. She wasn't sure if the ones which were fired from the M203 would function as intended after their initial use. She believed they still would.
Savannah stuck one on an HK Track yesterday. She was ready to do it again.
"I know what to do." Savannah said.
Savannah knew she would need to get up close to use it.
Cammy moved through some office space to get to the other side. It was clear the Grays used the area as their sleeping quarters.
Savannah spotted something which angered and disgusted her.
"Look." Savannah said as she pointed.
There was one makeshift bed which had four pieces of rope at each corner. It was a 'comfort bunk'.
They both knew what it meant. The Grays picked up a female at some point. She was tied to the bed and most likely abused repeatedly. There was no sign of her or anyone else there. It usually meant the captive was dead and dumped somewhere.
Savannah believed the Grays received just punishment.
"I'm glad we killed all of them." Savannah said.
Cammy still wasn't sure they had. They did receive the report of the Gray found under the rubble of the crashed HK drone in the other building. It accounted for all the Grays they should have encountered so far.
Savannah moved to the door which opened into the area where the last HK Track was at. Cammy moved in front of her. She held a 'sticky shocker' in her hand.
"Follow me." Cammy said and opened the door. "Have your shocker ready."
Sarah couldn't believe it was really happening. Claire was in front of her and she was almost there. It was a thrill to her like no other. Claire was good and knew what to do to make things happen. When they did happen, Claire didn't let up. It seemed she intensified her efforts if anything. It drove her to a higher state of pleasure.
She could honestly say it was her best experience with a female ever. Now she wondered what a Metal girl would be like….
Sheila indicated to her numerous times she knew where her room was. It was something to really think about now.
She was still a little confused about everything. There was one thing she wasn't confused about. She knew she wanted more. Today was just the start. The pent up 'hunger' and desire inside of her was now free. It was going to take a lot of action to satisfy it.
Sarah thought back to her high school friends. It seemed the more they shared with each other, the more they needed to share. It was almost like a drug. They never could get enough of each other. Maybe it was because they knew they would always get a finish out of it. It seldom happened when they were with a male. It always happened when they were with a female. They didn't need to worry about getting pregnant or take birth control.
Vanna and Allison went with Mary and Laura. They did some drinking but Vanna and Allison didn't. Gail-Cam and Holly-Camille were right there near them all the time. They did a quick stop by the buffet and tried a few things before they went to the sky lounge.
The girls danced with each other and did some kissing in the sky lounge. It was dark outside so all the windows acted more like mirrors at this point. Mary and Laura tried to find out more about 'Ann' and 'Peggy'. They weren't in the talkative mood. It was clear they were more about action than words.
They really wanted to find out more about the mysterious group. It wasn't going to happen. They could see the group radiated power. It appeared the wealth came with the power. It wasn't the other way around. They knew there was more than met the eye. It didn't look like they were going to find out what it was. It was time to share what was there.
They ended up back in Mary and Laura's suite within an hour. They all knew what they wanted. There were plenty of snacks in the suite and of course 'dessert'. It was the one type of 'dessert' that burned calories and didn't create them.
Maybe some of the weight loss programs touted on TV should point it out. People should be happy and look forward to their workouts. They shouldn't dread them.
Sheila went off with Leticia. She didn't want her getting tied up with the other girls just yet. She wanted her available in case 'Tony' would need her. Cameron already made it clear to her if Young Jesse 'blinked', she was supposed to bring Leticia to John.
They were currently in the casino.
Sheila gave some money to Leticia and watched her play.
Leticia didn't like to play alone.
"Play with me, Sue." Leticia said. "We can have fun."
Sheila planned to but she wanted to see how Leticia did on her own.
"I will." Sheila said.
Leticia thought 'Sue' was distracted. She was sure she knew about what.
"Are you worried about your sister?" Leticia asked.
it was one of the things on her mind. There were others.
"I am." Sheila said.
It was clear to everyone 'Stephany' was going to be with 'Tony'.
"Will you be with her when she's with Tony?" Leticia asked. "You two can double team him. I'd like to do it with one of you, or even both of you. I'm in for a three way or a four way. I think we all know what to do. I'm not sure how experienced Stephany is."
Sheila hoped it didn't come to that. She really needed to work on Leticia's esteem some. While the idea of a 'submissive' sounded exciting, it really wasn't. She didn't like the way others treated Leticia. She decided she was going to 'fix' Leticia if she could. It was going to take some effort after the cruise.
The next words just slipped out of Sheila's mouth.
"It will be her first time." Sheila said.
Leticia stopped and looked at Sheila.
"Really?" Leticia asked in awe. "She's never been with a male?"
It was clear to Leticia that 'Stephany' was with females.
"No." Sheila said. "She's a virgin. No male has ever touched her before."
Leticia could hardly even remember back when she was. She figured 'Stephany' was probably going to be a little sore afterwards. It took a few times for it to feel nice for her. Even with the experience, when there were long spells in between partners, things were always a little rough, at least for the first few seconds. It was certainly an eye opening experience as other things were brought back into play.
"I hope it's special for her." Leticia said. "I'm glad she's able to give it away herself. I'm not really sure too many females actually have a choice. Even if it's something they want to try, they're often pushed into it before they're really ready."
Leticia found out males only wanted one thing. They wanted to finish. They didn't really care who it was, or where they finished at. They just wanted to finish. They didn't care about anybody else or what they wanted. It was a similar experience for all of her friends as well.
Sheila was worried about Young Jesse. It would be better if Jesse was here instead of her. Maybe a human touch was what was needed now. Jesse would be able to tell her what to do and how to do it.
"I hope it works out for her." Sheila said.
Sheila was aware Young Jesse may not like it.
Leticia wondered why 'Sue' wasn't gambling with her. She seemed a little 'off' to her. There was a twitch to her left hand every now and then.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Leticia asked.
Sheila grasped her left hand with her right hand. She realized she was very worried about Young Jesse. She flashed Leticia a smile and tried to blow it off. She didn't think she was very convincing.
"It's just a little nervous reaction I get sometimes." Sheila said.
Leticia liked to see 'Sue' strong and dominant. She could see 'Sue' really was worried about her sister. It was time for her to step up for 'Sue'. She thought it might be a little traumatic for 'Stephany' and 'Sue' to be in the room together on her 'first time'. It was something she could do.
"I can do it for Stephany if she gets cold feet." Leticia said. "We can both be with Tony. I can show her the best ways to enjoy herself. I'll make sure Tony takes it easy on her too. I'll give him what he needs. I'll make sure she makes it too. I think only about one out of ten females actually makes it on her 'first time'."
Sheila wanted Young Jesse to get what she came for.
"It's what she wants to do on her own." Sheila said. "Not all the girls get a choice."
Leticia nodded. Life was rougher in some places. Almost every female she knew was drunk, drugged or forced to do it the first time. Perhaps forced was too strong of a word. They were heavily coerced into doing it. Maybe she hung with a different crowd.
Sheila needed to stop worrying about things. Cameron was the one who was in control of everything anyway.
She regained her composure. She smiled at Leticia and gave her a quick kiss. She didn't want to think about it anymore and she didn't want to bring Leticia down.
"We're here to have some fun." Sheila said.
It was the 'Sue' that Leticia liked to see.
"You lead and I'll follow." Leticia said.
Sheila smiled.
"That's just my speed." Sheila said. "Let's go play some cards."
Leticia looked a little worried. Gambling was never her strong point. Some things were worse than others.
"I don't do so well with cards." Leticia said.
Sheila smiled again.
"I do." Sheila said. "Let's go."
Cammy opened the door soundlessly. She was glad to see the HK Track still pointed in the same direction and still inactive. She tossed the 'sticky shocker'. It hit and stuck on the back of the HK Track. It still didn't move or do anything.
She rapidly approached it and waited for a pulse to pass. She went to disconnect the power supply. She was a little confused at what she found.
"The power cell is missing." Cammy said.
Savannah wondered why.
"Do you think it is being used for something else?" Savannah asked.
Cammy looked around further. She wondered what for, if it was.
"I don't know." Cammy said. "Someone removed it."
Savannah wondered if the HK Track developed some kind of a 'problem'. Terminators did at times so it seemed plausible any HK equipment could as well. She remembered Cameron told her sometimes the equipment just went bad, nobody knew why.
"We need to 'flag' this HK Track." Savannah said. "It needs to be checked for additional problems before it's restored."
Cammy figured they could use parts off of the one Savannah hit with the LAW rocket. It could be cannibalized to get the one in front of her operational again. There was still a big question. Who removed the power supply and where was it?
"Maybe so." Cammy said. "I hope we can find the power supply."
Cammy knew it could be used as an explosive device too.
They sounded the all clear. The current situation seemed to be under control. The missing power supply would require additional investigation.
Randy soon arrived in the back of the building with a big duel rear axle box truck.
Brian was across the street with Tom and Steve in a second box truck.
They collected the HK equipment from both buildings.
Hank and Larry reported they'd collected all the bodies.
"We need to watch our time here." Savannah said. "We don't want to overstay our welcome."
She really meant they didn't want to stick around any longer and have more Grays show up. It could be worse and there could be an HK drone strike directed against them. It was evident this group of Grays possessed them.
They still weren't sure how they were detected and how the Grays had been able to communicate. There was clearly more going on than they understood. It may not have been them specifically they were after either. It was possible they thought they were either with the Fanatics or the anti-Metal group. Either way, they'd almost gotten caught up in a sophisticated ambush.
Young Allison thought things were a little touch and go for a while. Everything seemed to work out
"I think things turned out better than anticipated once things went south." Young Allison said.
Anna was still worried. Based upon the nature of the attack, it might not be over yet.
"They need to get out." Anna said. "We don't know what else is going to happen there."
Young Allison was all over the drone reports.
"So far nothing is showing up on the ground or in the air." Young Allison said.
Anna knew CamNet and John Henry would stay on top of it.
The Metal girls waited before they left the private box section. They checked with Jim to see where everyone else was headed on the ship. It seemed the group was scattered all over at this point.
Camille-Holly didn't want to create any problems for Cameron.
"It looks like we need to go back to the private area." Camille-Holly said.
It was fine with Cam-Gail.
"We can check in with Jim and see what else we need to do." Cam-Gail said.
Hanna knew what she wanted to do. She was ready for some action.
"You two can do that." Hanna said. "Ally and I can hit the sheets."
Ally wondered what room they should use.
"We might need to use one of the outside suites." Ally said.
Camille-Holly doubted it. It appeared some of the group would be elsewhere.
"It looks like Vanna and Allison are going to be in Mary and Laura's suite for most of the night." Camille-Holly said.
Hanna and Ally would head for the Master Suite then. Camille-Holly and Cam-Gail could join them later when they were done with Jim in the Control Center.
When Ally and Hanna exited the door from the private boxes into the hall, there was a young couple passing by with a small child. They seemed to note the star on the door.
"What happens in there?" The female asked.
Hanna quickly glanced at the other Metal girls. She tried to keep a smile off of her face when she answered.
"Plenty." Hanna said as they moved on without further interaction.
The couple looked at each other and moved along with the child.
The Metal girls were able to make their way back to the private area without incident.
Sheila and Leticia were in the casino.
Things had gotten off to a slow start.
Sheila had been a little preoccupied about what was going to happen with Young Jesse. She'd discussed it a little bit with Leticia and decided it was time to play.
Leticia watched 'Sue' start to win and win big.
Sheila knew to use some moderation and not to overdo it.
Leticia thought 'Sue' was perfect in everything. She liked the way she'd stuck up for her and hadn't slapped her around any. She was strong and forceful and confident. She wanted to devote herself to 'Sue'. She didn't lead or control by abuse. She did it with strength. Dominance radiated off of her.
She liked the dress and especially the jewelry 'Sue' gave to her. Everyone looked at her. She hoped the people noticed her nipple rings as well as her diamonds. A healthy dose of cleavage added to the people who looked and where they looked. She liked the fact her body was all natural. It was unlike so many of the other females she'd encountered. She always thought it was one thing which upset the other women. Their beauty needed to be manufactured, while hers was all natural. She really wondered why they just couldn't be happy for her. It was the way she was born. She thought all of the modifications done to a person's body was really just a lie. It wasn't who they really were. Jewelry on the other hand enhanced the natural beauty. It didn't create it. The best part was, jewelry could be found on various parts of the body.
Leticia didn't see how 'Sue' could do so well all of the time. 'Sue' set her up on any of the games she wanted to play and always handed her a handful of chips when she ran low.
Sheila kept track of Leticia. She decided to test her. She wanted to see how true her commitment was. She gave her a lot of slack and a lot of chips. Leticia didn't 'stray' and try to hit on anyone else. She didn't try and pocket any of the chips to cash in later on, on her own.
There was a massive pile of chips in front of Sheila when Leticia returned.
Leticia handed Sheila the small handful of chips she still had left.
"Here are the chips I didn't use." Leticia said. "I think I'm done playing. I don't like losing your money. I wish I could have won some to give back to you."
Sheila touched Leticia when she spoke. She scanned her. She could tell Leticia was sincere about what she'd said about the money. She was sure if Leticia actually had won some, she would have given it all to her.
Leticia liked the way 'Sue' touched her often when she spoke with her. There was a lot of physical contact and it wasn't always in a sexual nature. She enjoyed it very much. She didn't know she was being scanned.
Sheila knew Ally 'helped out' Mary.
She took Leticia off to the side.
"Would you like to win some on your own with a little help from me?" Sheila asked.
Leticia didn't want to do anything illegal. She looked a little worried.
"Will it be cheating?" Leticia asked.
Sheila chose her wording carefully.
"I'll only use my natural ability, nothing more." Sheila said. "It will be like you're playing for me. I need to rest and you can help me out."
Leticia wanted to help 'Sue' out. She wasn't sure what they were about to do was legal or not. She would do whatever 'Sue' wanted her to do.
"OK. Tell me what to do and how to do it." Leticia said. "I'll help you."
Sheila quickly laid out a plan. It was time for Leticia to up her game.
Sarah was very thrilled with what Claire did for her. It made her feel a little guilty because she didn't do anything for Claire. It was all a one way street.
She was naked and Claire still had her pants on. She felt the need to reciprocate on several levels. The main one would be to return the pleasure Claire shared with her. The goal right behind it, was for her to get a crack at something she hadn't been able to do in years.
"Let me get you there once." Sarah said. "I really want to do it."
Claire smiled and told her it was fine. She was just glad she was able to please her.
Sarah really wanted to please Claire the way she was pleased. She hadn't done it with a female in years. She wanted it for herself as much as she wanted to please Claire.
She reached over and pulled down Claire's pants.
Claire moved to the couch.
Sarah looked in awe. She could see why Claire was such a 'hit'.
"THAT is beautiful." Sarah said. "You're beautiful."
Sarah moved forward and gave her a kiss and quickly worked her way down to where she wanted to go. She was ready to move just a little lower. She hadn't been 'there' in a long time and it was worth the wait.
Claire was of the giving kind and quickly moved Sarah to lie on the couch and rotated around. Things really got started at that point….
The more sharing they could do would be better for everyone.
CamNet's Terminators each grabbed one of the men. They were both promptly choked out before they even knew what really happened. They each took one to a different area to begin the interrogation. It was going to be a swift one.
Tina took her man into the building on the south side. There were still spot fires burning around them.
When the man came around he quickly realized he was in the custody of a Terminator. There was only one way the conversation was going to end. It would be with his termination. The usual threats and cuss words came out.
It was the same thing with Lena. She'd taken her man towards the office area of the building. They were near the steel door. She wanted him to be awake when she took him towards the room with the burnt bodies in it.
"You're just a Metal Bitch." The first man said.
He followed up his opening statement with a series of threats and cuss words.
Lena punched him hard. He fell to the ground. She picked him up and tossed him towards the burnt out doorway of one of the rooms. She grabbed him by the hair and dragged him inside.
She dropped him in front of the charred skeletal remains of the three men whose bodies had been burned. There was a lot of debris around them. It was clear they were once human.
"These men were slow to answer questions." Lena said. "They were burnt alive. I needed to turn down my audio receptors because the screaming irritated me. I was tempted to go back and snap their necks, but I didn't."
The first man issued another string of threats and cuss words.
"It's up to you how this will go." Lena said. "You know it means nothing to me, one way or the other."
Lena started the interrogation process. It wasn't long before bones started to break. She was there to get answers, not to play nice.
Tina's interview went much the same way.
After ten minutes, Lena and Tina met up back at the white van. The interrogations were over. The two men were terminated. It had been brutal, violent and bloody. They listened to each other's interrogation through their com.
"I'm satisfied they weren't Fanatics or from the anti-Metal faction." Lena said.
Tina's interview came to the same conclusion.
"They were another group of Gray's from a different timeline." Tina said. "Their boss was still Skynet."
All indications appeared they were a group left over from the ones which were terminated near Palm Springs. It was the group they were able to get the quieter power plants for the drones from. There were only a few of them left. Now there were two less.
"We have a few more targets to visit now." Lena said.
Tina didn't want to get ahead of themselves.
"We need to deal with the big rigs, whatever is in them, and where their destination is." Tina said.
The drone which was over the big rigs detected some electrical activity in one of the trailers. The speculation was the drone may have gotten too close to the big rigs and triggered a response on some of the HK equipment inside of one of the trailers. It attempted to do a scan to see what was in the trailers. Once the electrical response was detected the drone retreated to a higher altitude and a wider orbit. It didn't want to become a target.
Tina drove the white van down the dirt road back to the paved road. They passed by the SUV on its side in the dry gulch. Tina stopped momentarily. Lena went out and retrieved the long guns she'd left by the tree earlier. She got back in the white van and then continued back to their SUV.
They transferred the firearms and explosives to their SUV. They checked everything twice to make sure there were no trackers on it. They found the electrical device the men in the white van use to track the other two SUVs. It didn't appear there was a tracker on the box truck. It was decided to leave the box truck where it was for now and leave the white van where their SUV had been. They didn't want to take any chances. They didn't take any of the electrical gear with them.
When there were more of Cameron's Terminators available, they would return to each of the vehicles if they were still there. If it was determined any of them were tampered with, they would simply be left where they were.
CamNet's Terminators left the location of the burnout warehouse at the end of the dirt road. They headed in the direction of the big rigs which left the location earlier. They were hours behind them. There were other means they could use to get closer faster.
Jill kept her distance as she kept the tail lights in sight. She watched the same pattern repeated itself time after time as she followed the big rigs on the undulated road.
It took her a while to notice something was different. It was when she was on the crest of a hill and the road below her turned slightly off to the side. She could see there was only one big rig. She quickly looked around her.
Where did the other ones go? She wasn't really sure when the last time was when she was able to see there were three of them. She didn't know if they pulled ahead or if they'd turned off somewhere. There'd been a few places where they could have turned in either direction.
Her fear was she may have been made as a tail. What if the big rigs appeared behind her? She knew how the men treated her. She was just a thing for them to use. They didn't just use her, they abused her as they did it. Many of them did things to hurt her for no reason other than to hear her cry out in pain. They laughed about the world blowing up and talked about killing people. The talk of bleached skulls stuck in her mind.
There was a sign for a turn off coming up. She wondered if the big rig would take it. It didn't. She slowed and made the turn. She quickly turned off her lights and made a U-turn. She turned back onto the road behind the big rig without her headlights on. She really needed to concentrate on the road. It became easier to drive in the darkness after a few minutes. She actually closed up some on the big rig.
Jill was very concerned about where things were headed. She was in the dark in more ways than one. She continued after the tail lights in the darkness. She knew it wasn't the light at the end of the tunnel.
The female Fanatic continued her wait. She sat in the darkness as the truck bounced and vibrated along. Her right hand rested on her knife. Her left hand rested on the Beretta. More than likely before the night was over, there were going to be some dead people. She wondered if she would be among them.
She wasn't sure what was going on outside. She climbed up on top of one HK Track. She tried to see if she could find a loose roof panel. She would like to take a look around her and see where she was. She used one of the phones for light. She dropped it and it broke. She used a second one. She still had a half dozen of them. They were all from men she'd killed.
She climbed onto the HK Track at the front of the truck. She ended up dropping another phone and breaking it. None of the phones worked since she'd been in the back of the truck. The only things she could use them for was the light. She figured there was some kind of jamming field in place. She didn't know if it radiated from some of the crates or from either of the HK Tracks in the back of the truck. It could be something in the other trucks as well.
None of the roof panels she could get to were loose. Everything was sealed tightly. She'd checked along the sides of the truck earlier. On top of a few of the crates, she could reach the roof as well. She didn't find anything loose there either.
She was still a little concerned as to what the electrical equipment was which turned on earlier. She didn't know if it sent out some kind of a signal or not. She still didn't know what triggered it and activated it.
The female Fanatic was sealed in tight in the back of the truck. It still remained to be seen if she would be able to work the latch on the roll up door with her knife to get out later on. The bumpy and swaying ride continued.
Just A Little Lower
Many different emotions can influence one
Some of them have great power
They can be hidden and suppressed
They can grow and bloom like a flower
One's mind can be opened
It can also grow narrower
With so many questions
Is there ever an answer
When a mind starts to contract
It can turn into an open sewer
Things might not always change
Even when there's someone newer
A new heart and face
Are like a refreshing shower
There's no need to be small
When both can grow and tower
What happens is what matters
It's not about faster or slower
To make things take off
Go just a little lower
Nobody
