Chapter 1522
Anything You Want
John was really surprised to see the girls from the ship were there on the plane now. His first thought was if he could be with any of them later on. He still remembered all of their names. They were very skimpily clad and a lot of skin was showing. It was hard to say which one looked hotter.
Mary, Laura and Leticia all walked over to see 'Tony'. They all greeted him with a hug. It seemed they all indicated they were ready for a 'little more'.
The girls noticed he came from the front of the plane.
"Are you going to fly us tonight, Tony?" Mary asked. "Do we get to see the cockpit?"
Leticia and Laura giggled.
John looked at her for a moment. He would like to get a look at her 'cockpit'. He guessed they were still using their cover names. He didn't know the Metal girls used their real names now.
"No." John said. "I won't be flying the plane."
Sheila moved close to Leticia's ear.
"Tell him what else you have to show him." Sheila whispered.
Leticia knew exactly what she wanted 'Tony' to see and have.
"I'm going to let Tony see my – cockpit." Leticia said. "It belongs to him now."
Mary and Laura laughed. They were all buzzed enough for anything at this point.
Cammy could see things were going to work out better than she'd planned. The girls were already all over John. She sure hoped Cameron was having a good time with Savannah. She wanted to 'slap' Cameron's face.
'This serves you right - Bitch.' Cammy thought.
"Tony is going to be busy in the Master Suite as soon as we take off." Cammy said. "You girls are welcome to join him."
The girls all giggled. They'd all been up to it on the ship. Now they were about to get their chance. It was even without the bet they'd lost, or the two drinks too many they'd consumed.
Camille and Hanna wondered what they'd gotten themselves into at this point. It was clear the three human girls were all ready to get started. They would need to defer to them.
Hanna received word from the cockpit they were ready to taxi. She was instructed to get the 'passengers' ready for takeoff.
"Everyone needs to sit down for takeoff." Hanna said. "There will be plenty of time for other things later on."
Sheila could see where things were headed. She wondered if she could squeeze her 'one time' with John in too. The flight was short. She figured he was only good for two or three times an hour.
"This is a topless flight." Sheila said.
She took her top off.
The other Metal girls did too.
"It's panties only." Cammy said.
The Metal girls stripped down to their panties.
Leticia did everything the same way Sheila did.
Mary and Laura were now topless. They stripped down further as well.
John couldn't believe his eyes. He was at 'full attention' right now. He'd only seen something like this in a video or photos online. There were eight smoking hot females who were all but naked surrounding him. Four of them sported rings. Three of them were the human females. He looked again. The Metal girls were all naked now.
The Metal girls got everyone seated and buckled into the plush seats.
The jet started to taxi and was soon at the end of the runway.
Mary and Laura were on each side of John. Leticia and Sheila were right across from him. He could see they were both naked now. Everything was clearly visible, rings and all. Mary and Laura still had their panties on.
The engines powered up for the pre-fight run up test at the end of the runway. The jet turned onto the runway and started to roll. The engines went back up to full power. The jet shot forward. With its light load, it was able to climb steeply after takeoff. They were at thirty three thousand feet in just a few minutes. CamNet cleared the airspace and 'authorized' everything. The sky belonged to them.
Ally and Cammy talked to Mary and Laura for the take off and climb. They wanted the girls to 'put out'. They said they would. They now turned their attention to John.
Laura leaned over to "Tony'.
"I'm ready when you are." Laura whispered. "I'm going first."
John swallowed hard.
Sheila didn't want anyone to get cold feet.
"It's time to join the mile high club." Sheila said. "Or six mile high club in this case."
In front of John, and everyone else, Sheila and Leticia started in on each other.
Cammy led Mary off towards the Executive Suite. She looked back at John.
"Come on." Cammy said. "Don't keep the girls waiting. The clock is running."
Laura took his hand. She looked at him with hungry eyes. She led him after Cammy and Mary.
John pinched himself. It hurt. He was awake.
Laura wasn't sure what was going on.
"It looks kinky." Laura said. "I'll let you do that on my 'hiney'."
Laura moved his hand to her scantily clad rear end and he gave it a gentle pinch.
John looked back to the lounge area. Ally and Hanna were together on one couch. Sheila and Leticia were on another one. Camille hurried after them. He wondered who she was going to join. She brushed past them and caught up to Mary and Cammy.
Camille led Mary into the Executive Suite. Cammy remained outside.
"How long is the flight?" John asked.
Cammy knew the flight itself was only about forty five minutes. She decided to modify the flight plan to give them more air time. The jet would cruise a little slower as well. She wanted it to pass over another location which was out of their way. CamNet told her where it was at.
"We'll be in the air for one hour." Cammy said. "We're going to fly inland a little and pass over Lake Tahoe before we land in San Francisco. It will give you thirty minutes with Laura and thirty minutes with Mary before we land."
John doubted he was going to last thirty seconds with either of them. He was going to ask about Leticia but figured she would be with him on the flight home. He sure hoped so anyway.
Laura pulled John along. She was anxious to get started. She was tipsy, but not drunk. She knew what she wanted. The bulge in the front of 'Tony's' underwear needed to find a home fast. She possessed one which was more than ready.
John passed by Cammy.
"They're all disease free. You're good to do anything and everything." Cammy whispered. "I checked them all myself, several times…."
John didn't even think about the disease aspect before. Now he did. He was glad Cammy mentioned it. He didn't want to be halfway through things and think about it himself. Now he didn't need to do it.
They reached the door of the Master Suite. Laura opened it. She was 'hungry'.
"Wait." John said.
Laura stopped. She was a little confused.
John touched Laura's cheek and looked her in the eyes. He wanted to make sure there was no hanky panky involved on anyone's part. It was something which was important to him. He knew it would be important to the girls as well.
"I need to make sure this is what you want to do on your own accord." John said. "I want you to know you're not under any obligation or pressure. You can say 'stop' or 'no' at any point."
Laura was pleasantly surprised to actually hear it. No one ever asked her, or said anything like it before, ever. They just went ahead and took what they wanted. Few, if any, ever cared about her or her needs. Her anticipation level went up even higher. She knew right away 'Tony' was a class act. The 'special girls' said he always delivered. She didn't doubt it in the slightest. She really wanted to get things started.
"I've never wanted it more." Laura said.
John scooped Laura up in his arms and carried her into the Master Suite.
Laura had never been treated with such dignity or respect before. She felt very special.
"It was really sweet." Laura said. "You can have anything."
John set her down next to the bed. She motioned for him to remove her underwear. He did, as she removed his. He really looked forward to what was about to happen. The girls were strangers, even if they were acquaintances. He couldn't believe how willing they all seemed to want to be with him.
Laura could see John was good to go.
"Oh my, that's a big one." Laura said softly as she looked down at John.
She opened the covers up and lay down. She pulled him along with her.
John wanted to make sure he wouldn't go out of bounds.
"Anything?" John asked.
John moved over the top of her. There were a few things he'd like to try on a human female.
Laura decided she wouldn't hold back on anything.
"Anything you want." Laura said. "I'm yours."
John swallowed hard. Maybe he'd better play nice.
He moved closer and gave her a kiss.
Laura kissed him back with gusto. She'd planned on this being just another sexual encounter. She already felt more with 'Tony's' treatment of her. Maybe she'd felt it on the ship too. She'd been ready then. It was clear 'Tony' could have whatever, or whoever, he wanted, but he still empowered them with a choice. It was leadership. It was power. It made her want to do everything even more.
John reached down and fondled her rings as she kissed him. He moved down to get started. Most of all, he wanted to take a closer look at 'everything'. He still couldn't believe it was really happening.
There'd been plenty of girls in school over the years he'd fantasized about being with. Nothing ever happened. He never had the nerve to ask any of them out. He doubted it would have gone over very well either. Future Riley is the one who'd approached him and pushed everything. He really just went along for the ride. How could he turn down what was offered? He'd just turned sixteen. He didn't want to get lost in the past. The past was past.
Cammy listened outside the door for a few seconds. She heard Laura let out a slight gasp. She figured John made 'contact'. As soon as she heard some familiar rhythmic sounds, she smiled. It was payback time for Cameron.
"Take that – Bitch." Cammy said softly as she walked away.
She really hoped John and Laura enjoyed themselves. She enjoyed the satisfaction it gave her. Cameron shouldn't be out with Savannah. If Cameron didn't tend the flock, there were bound to be strays. She'd personally made sure of it.
Cammy couldn't help but giggle as she walked away from the suite.
Jim and Bob joined Cam and Gail in the cavern with the crates.
Toto passed by without stopping to look in and went back the way they'd come from. They all tried to monitor what Toto looked at. One of them was always on the feed. If they spotted something of interest, they would ask John Henry to have Toto take a closer look at it.
Cam used the pry bar and opened one of the sealed crates. It was full of electronic equipment. She moved over to another one and opened it. There was more of the same. Based on the barcodes, she was able to determine what was in the empty crates by the number sequence of the crates with things in them still.
Soon all of the crates were open. The team took stock of everything. There was enough equipment there to build two giant mainframes. If it was a single one, it would be able to rival CamNet.
Jim thought about how some computer users used to 'mirror' their hard drives. If one of the mechanical ones failed, the other one would still have all of the information. Solid state hard drives, and terabyte thumb drives, eliminated the need for most of the 'mirroring'.
"I think they are going to build a new Skynet, and a back up for Skynet, at the same time." Jim said.
Cam wondered about the empty crates.
"It seems it's at least the plan." Cam said. "I think these other crates were for the smaller, large power cells."
Gail looked at all the empty crates. It appeared to her Skynet wanted more.
"I think they're for a giant one as well." Gail said.
From Toto's cam, they saw there were a few other storage caverns. They would try and check those out too. They'd already determined what Skynet was up to. They wanted to know how far they'd actually progressed. They needed to know what Skynet currently controlled or had its hooks into.
It was time to move back out into the passageway and get down to Level Four.
Cammy smiled as she walked forward toward the Executive Suite. She was sure John and Laura were sharing. She'd told John the girls were disease free. She didn't tell him one or more of them could end up pregnant. She planned to get all three of them pregnant if she could over the next few weeks. Camille was already busy with Mary so she passed on by and watched Sheila with Leticia and Ally with Hanna. She continued on up to the cockpit.
Dan opened the door.
Cammy wanted to make sure her 'message' was received. She thought about how best to do it without being overly overt.
"I want to know two minutes before we get to Lake Tahoe. I want a low approach as if we were going to land." Cammy said. "I'll fly it myself if I have to."
Ned and Wes said they'd do their best. There were usually only 737 or smaller aircraft which landed at the airport in Lake Tahoe. It was a 727 which did provide the first major airliner service to Lake Tahoe. With its 'clean' wings and built in ramp, it was ideal for the situation where there were limited facilities at a small airport.
CamNet contacted Cammy and said she'd take care of everything related to the aircraft and its approach over the lake. The 727 could squawk as any aircraft CamNet wanted it to be. She could make it appear as if it was a 737 or a smaller aircraft.
Cammy exited the cockpit and joined Sheila and Leticia. They slipped right into a three way without missing a beat.
Young Allison and Anna follow the operation and what they could about the flight. There was a new piece to the puzzle which didn't add up.
"Why are they headed for Lake Tahoe?" Young Allison asked. "It's out of the way to San Francisco."
Anna knew why. She'd listen to the cockpit transmission a short time ago.
"CamNet wants to make a statement." Anna said. "Cammy was the one who started it."
Young Allison didn't agree with them. She understood it for the jealousy it was. It wasn't her place to interfere. Savannah always told her there was enough to share for everyone, with everyone. Savannah told her no one 'owned' anyone else. She said it would only make things ugly when it didn't need to be.
"Savannah and Cameron have every right to be alone." Young Allison said. "Just like John does with someone else, they all do. It's nothing different in reality."
Anna wondered how she would act under similar circumstances. She was afraid she would do what CamNet and Cammy did. She would be jealous too. She loved Young Allison dearly, but knew Savannah and Cameron would always come first to her once things started. She hoped to rate above John, but time would tell. Based on Vanna and Allison, they seemed to adapt quite well very quickly. It was probably a bad omen for her.
Summer wanted to get enough speed from the interface with Toto to get connected to the Skynet computer located there. Based on what Cam's team found, the super computer version wasn't online yet or even assembled. She knew there was some version of Skynet there.
She wanted to push things a little further. She didn't want to endanger anyone in the process. She needed to know what the boundaries were before she crossed them.
"I want Cam's team to be able to control Toto and not have Skynet know what's happening. Can you do it?" Summer asked. "We can't tip our hand."
John Henry already knew what Summer planned. He knew what she was really after.
"I've worked on a plan with CamNet and she's done one with me." John Henry said. "We were both unable to detect the other at the power level Toto operates at."
Summer already knew it. She wanted to give them something to think about.
"Did you find my program?" Summer asked.
John Henry looked over at her.
Summer smiled.
"That was the look I wanted to see." Summer said.
John Henry and CamNet both checked to find out what Summer had done.
Summer used a 'sleeper' code on both of their tests. She was now deep in both of their systems, two ways. If one found the 'sleeper' code and was able to deactivate it. They probably wouldn't look for the second one. It was just a test for her. She already made a better one for Skynet. If Skynet found her code, it would waste its time and processing power on trying to erase or contain the code. The real worm would happen even deeper in the background. The idea was to infect as many Skynet operations as possible and not have them know. She hoped it would lead them to other locations where other parts of Skynet hid.
She didn't know Cameron personally 'told' her during her nightly conditioning sessions to learn and develop the codes, so when she needed them, they were already in her head. They were just there when she needed them now.
Cameron didn't trust herself. She didn't trust CamNet either by extension. She knew CamNet could control John Henry. She wanted an additional backup if Savannah or Young Allison couldn't stop CamNet or her through 'love'. There was now a physical 'switch' in place as well through Summer.
She knew River was a weapon. She'd made sure Summer was an even deadlier weapon for both humans and machines. The best part was, Nobody knew.
Cam received word they could now control Toto undetected. They would use Toto as an advanced scout to search out where the Grays were, where the Terminators were at, where there were places of concealment, and where the main computer or power cells were.
There was another blast and the cavern shook some. A little dust and a few pebbles fell.
"Toto is on its way back." Bob said.
They were near the cavern entrance now. They heard Toto approach and watched it go by. It didn't look in their direction.
"I'll let John Henry control Toto for now." Cam said. "He knows what to do. We can assume local control if we need it later on."
John Henry assured them he was on it already.
"Cam, I want you to know Toto is carrying a 'package' in its system." Summer said. "We may lose contact through the repeater system. When the time is right, and safe for the team, Toto needs to connect to the main computer there. The program will do the rest. You also need to make sure your team can get out."
John Henry reassured them the layout of the mine was accurate now thanks to Toto. They set up a few contingency plans at Summer's urging in case they lost contact.
"It's clear for us to move." Jim said.
Cam looked at her phone and headed out. They were several hundred feet behind Toto. Toto identified more caverns both big and small along the passageway. They could be used as hiding places and make sure no Grays were in them. They didn't want to have any of the enemy appear behind them.
They reached the sloped shaft and went down to Level Four.
They paused at the passageway to Level Four. Toto cleared a path for them and they hurried into a small cavern on the passageway. They could hear voices and were deep in the shadows as two Grays passed.
Minutes ago:
John worked his way down Laura's body. Each new part was better than the last. She made sure everything was ready for him. The varied pigmentation was quite evident.
"It's beautiful." John said. "You're beautiful."
John went to work.
Laura squirmed in anticipation. She liked what he was doing, but she wanted what the girls didn't have. She was ready for the real deal.
"I'm really ready." Laura said.
John could see she was really ready. He was sure he was going to finish in thirty seconds. He felt he needed to say something in case he did. He didn't want to seem selfish. The anticipation and excitement level was through the roof.
"I'm so excited, I think I'm going to finish too quickly." John said.
Laura wanted him now. She was usually able to time her finishes, or at least trigger them, when she wanted to be with a partner. She really wanted to be with 'Tony' right now.
"I'll finish as soon as you do." Laura said. "I always do. I want you now."
John moved up over her.
They looked at each other and kissed.
John moved down and forward.
Laura sucked in her breath.
Her arms came up and grasped his back.
John continued.
"Ah…." Laura gasped. "Go slow for a few seconds."
She kissed him intently as he started.
"It feels so nice." Laura whispered. "I've missed it more than I thought. I'm glad it's you to have me again."
John lost track of the time quickly. He soon felt her stiffen some. They were locked in a deep kiss. All of a sudden his breath was sucked away. It was literally sucked out of his lungs.
Laura was on the edge and he couldn't last any longer.
John broke the kiss. He thought something was important enough to do so.
"Do you want it outside?" John asked softly.
Laura's arms held him tighter. No one had ever bothered to ask her before. It gave her a new sense of admiration. She wanted all of him.
"No…." Laura gasped. "Give it to me. I want all of it."
They both made it at the same time. He slowed and stopped. He didn't break contact.
Much to his surprise, Laura rolled him over and was on top of him now. She started to move. It was slow and gentle. He was sure she made it several more times until she collapsed on top of him. Her breathing was labored and slow.
They kissed and touched each other but she stayed on top of him. After a short period of time her head lifted up and she smiled at him.
"I can tell you're ready again." Laura said. "I liked how it felt."
She moved more upright and started out slow. She rapidly picked up the pace. She was much more aggressive than the Resistance girls had been. He really liked to watch her rings swing, as well as what they were attached to bounce around.
John wondered if it got any better than this. He only needed to think about the other two candidates waiting in the wings. He didn't know if either of them would be better, but he was willing to bet at least one of them would be.
Cammy received word in her com from the cockpit they were five minutes out from Lake Tahoe.
She left Sheila and Leticia together. She noticed Camille was with Ally now.
She went back to the suites.
Mary and Hanna were together. They'd left the door open. It was an open invitation to anyone.
She moved down to the Master Suite and listened. She could tell Laura was enjoying herself.
She looked out the window on the side and could see the moon's reflection on the water of Lake Tahoe. They were close. The jet was low over the mountains. It made a landing approach at the airport, but intentionally waved it off. It put them low over the water. There were mountains all around them.
As they neared the waters edge, she heard John and Laura both make it. She smiled. In an instant they were over the lake and climbing. She didn't think it could have been timed more perfectly. She didn't know what Cameron was up to, but she knew what John had just done.
"Bitch." Cammy said out loud with a smile on her face.
She really wanted to make sure the three human females were all with John. There would be an emotional connection between each of them and John. She knew it was more than any of the Metal girls could establish. She knew Cameron would know it as well.
Cammy giggled as she walked away.
Cameron and Savannah were in a deep loving kiss. It was pure beauty to them to just hold each other and kiss.
Cameron lifted her head.
Savannah could tell something was different.
"What is it?" Savannah asked.
Cameron smiled.
"It's a jet with three engines." Cameron said. "It's coming in low overhead."
Savannah could hear it now. In a few seconds it flew over their lakeside house and they could see it pass in front of the moon for a second.
Cameron smiled. She looked at Savannah and kissed her again. This is where she wanted to be. Nothing else really mattered to her at this point. She rotated around and Savannah moved over the top of her. They started in on each other, slow and sweet. The sound of the jet faded into the distance.
Savannah was content to stay there forever, as was Cameron.
Cameron didn't care about another thing in the world right now. She hoped those on the jet reached their destination.

Temporal Mission:
Past Timeline:
November 25 1963
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cameron and Young Allison exited back into the sunlight. There was a slight curve to the track on the outside before it entered the eastern portal of Tunnel 26.
Young Allison wasn't sure how far they were going to walk. She didn't know if they would walk all the way to Tunnel 26 or not. She knew it was a long tunnel. It would be the easiest way for them to reach Santa Susana on foot rather than hiking over the hills, or taking the Old Stagecoach Trail.
They were approximately three quarters of the way to Tunnel 26 when Young Allison could look over to where Chatsworth Park South would later be. She was more than a little surprised at what she looked at.
"Wow." Young Allison said. "What is all that stuff?"
Cameron knew exactly what it was.
"It's our destination." Cameron said. "It started out as the Aqua Sierra Sportsman's Club in the early Fifties. A country singer, and mostly television actor, usually associated with a western motif, moved to the area in 1955. He was soon involved with the location and it was known as the Roy Rogers Sports Center. It consists of a shooting range, fishing ponds and four golf courses."
Young Allison could see five shooting positions. There was a large tower on the western side of the shooting area.
"What's the tower for?" Young Allison asked. "It looks to be approximately ten stories tall."
Cameron was pleased with Young Allison's observation.
"It's known as a 'high tower' for skeet shooting." Cameron said. "It's approximately ninety feet high. The shooting positions are designed for trap or skeet shooting. The position on the eastern side is for a driving range. The original golf course is just behind it. The newer golf courses are on the eastern side of the adjacent property."
Cameron started on her way down from the railroad right away. There were a few crude hiking trails. Once the property was taken over by the city in the early Seventies, there would be many more hiking trails established, even with the area fenced off near the railroad tracks.
Young Allison was thrilled at the sight of everything there.
"Are we going to see the actor?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron tilted her head slightly.
"I doubt it. He will continue to live in the area for approximately two more years before he moves to Apple Valley." Cameron said. "He currently owns a ranch type property at the end of Andorra Street. Andora Street was the angled street you could see from Stony Point. The streets around his property will eventually be named after his horse and his wife."
Young Allison wondered why Cameron mentioned his horse before his wife.
"I take it he liked his horse." Young Allison said.
Cameron wasn't sure if 'like' was the proper term or not.
"After the horse terminated, it was stuffed and put on display in his museum near Victorville." Cameron said. "Two of the streets on his property would be named after his horse, only one of the streets was named after his wife."
Young Allison was a little concerned since they were walking towards the direction anyone would shoot. She looked back at the railroad tracks behind them. She wondered if any stray rounds ever hit the railroad equipment. She thought maybe it was better not to know. She didn't see anyone around.
"It doesn't look like it's open yet." Young Allison said.
Cameron looked over at her and smiled.
"It's what I banked on." Cameron said.
Young Allison wondered about the fish pond. It was something she knew didn't exist during her time period.
"Are there really fish in the pond?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron previously viewed historic satellite images and aerial photos of every location where they would have a safe house. She wanted to know what was around them during the time period.
"It's mostly a trout pond." Cameron said. "There's a smaller pond next to it for children to use. It keeps them out of the way of the adults."
Cameron read they were often referred to as the Palmer Trout Lakes. She was sure it was more wishful thinking than reality. She led them over to where the ponds were at.
Young Allison was surprised at the size of it. She'd been to Chatsworth Park South several times.
"I don't think there's any trace of this thing left." Young Allison said.
Cameron viewed earlier historic images of the location.
"It was completely man made." Cameron said. "There was nothing there but the ground and native foliage before a small dam face was built, and the water was pumped into it. I'm not sure where the trout were obtained from."
They were soon by the high tower.
Cameron spotted an attendant.
"There's a worker over there." Cameron said. "Let me talk to him."
Young Allison was pretty sure they were currently trespassing. She wasn't so sure it was a good idea to trespass on a shooting range. It sort of made them a 'target'. Then again, they'd been trespassing ever since they'd followed the railroad tracks from Stony Point.
Cameron approached the worker from behind. She could see he was about to restock the high tower with clay pigeons.
"Excuse me." Cameron said.
The worker jumped a little. He turned around.
"You girls must be lost." The worker said. "We're not open yet."
Cameron didn't want to get too specific.
"We hiked in on one of the trails from Chatsworth Park." Cameron said. "We wanted to know if we could do a little shooting before you opened."
The worker took a moment to look both of them over. He thought they were both incredibly beautiful. They looked like twins.
"I'm sorry." The workers said. "You would have to wait until it opens."
Cameron reached in her pocket and produced a fifty dollar bill.
"We could give you the money in advance." Cameron said. "You can keep the change for yourself as a tip for being so nice."
The worker looked at the fifty dollar bill. It was a lot of money for a tip.
"I don't know." The worker said.
Cameron wanted to sweeten the deal. She wanted to know a little more first.
"Do you work here every morning?" Cameron asked.
The worker smiled.
"I work here six days a week." The worker said.
Cameron smiled. She put the fifty dollar bill away and took out a hundred dollar bill.
"You're just the man who can help me out." Cameron said. "I might stop by a day or two a week for a while. I'm Cindy. This is my sister Emily."
The girls both shook hands with him.
The worker knew a C note was a lot of money.
"The shotguns are all locked up right now." The worker said.
Cameron smiled.
"We brought our own firearms." Cameron said. "I do some fancy or 'trick' shooting. I'm hoping to get a studio job soon. I need to practice a little first."
The worker looked at the C note again. He didn't see any firearms.
"What do you have to shoot?" The worker asked.
Cameron looked at a small table nearby. She went over to it and removed her backpack.
Young Allison watched Cameron slip her Hi-Power into it as she walked to the table.
Cameron removed the Hi-Power. She took out the magazine and worked the slide. She caught the ejected round in the air. She used the slide stop to hold the action open. She laid everything down on the table.
The worker's eyes widened when he saw the pistol.
"That looks really fancy." The worker said. ""It sort of looks like a 'Forty Five'."
Cameron wanted to get his interest up.
"The same designer was involved with both firearms." Cameron said. "I can out shoot anybody on the range using a shotgun to knock down clay pigeons. I can out shoot them in any category or competition."
The worker I was a little skeptical. He watched people miss all the time with a shotgun. He was aware a shotgun made everyone a marksman. To hit a clay pigeon with a handgun would be quite a feat.
"It would all but be impossible." The workers said.
Cameron indicated the P-35.
"Try me." Cameron said. "If I miss, you get to keep the C note and we won't bother you again. If I score, we get to shoot for a half hour every time we come. We'll always be here at this time or earlier."
The worker didn't think it would hurt to have her shoot one time. It looked like an easy hundred bucks to him.
"You get one shot." The worker said.
Cameron picked up the magazine of the Browning. She pushed all the rounds out of it until it was empty.
The worker was impressed at the size of the magazine's capacity.
"How many bullets does that thing hold?" The worker asked. "It looks like you load it on Sunday and can shoot all week."
Cameron smiled.
"It holds enough to get the job done." Cameron said. "I'll load one round."
She placed the round from the chamber she'd ejected earlier into the magazine. She slid the magazine into the weapon. She released the slide and put the safety on. She handed the C note to the worker.
"I'll let you hang on to it for now." Cameron said.
The worker looked at the hundred dollar bill and folded it in half and then half again and placed it in his pocket.
"I don't want it to blow away." The worker said.
Cameron indicated one of the boxes of clay pigeons the worker had been restocking.
"You can throw it by hand or use the launcher." Cameron said. "You can use either the low launcher or the high launcher. It won't matter. I never miss."
Young Allison knew Cameron was setting the worker up. It was like one of her 'challenges' she took the other Terminators on, or even the human girls sometimes. It was usually done to prove her superiority with her 'natural ability'. It usually sparked some type of incident as well with the loser.
The worker looked at Young Allison.
"Are you as confident as she is?" The worker asked.
Young Allison flashed him her smile. Cameron told her many times, her face alone would open any door. A smile on it would open it even faster.
"I only shoot at paper targets or cans." Young Allison said. "I'm not quite as skilled as she is. She has nerves of, well, let's just say steel."
A worker took out a clay pigeon.
"Your backdrop will be the hill over there." The worker said. "I'll throw it by hand. Are you ready?"
Cameron set the Hi-Power on the table.
"I'll make it a little harder for myself." Cameron said. "I thought you would use the launcher. Go ahead whenever you're ready. You can surprise me."
The worker could see the girl was dead serious. He didn't see any way the C note wouldn't be his in the next ten seconds.
He reared his arm back and threw the clay pigeon by hand. He saw a blur of movement off to his side. He kept his eye on the target. He watched it explode the same time there was a loud 'bang' next to him. The girl had picked the gun up off of the table, fired it, and hit the target moments after he thrown it.
"That's impossible." The worker said.
Cameron frowned slightly. It always irritated her when someone told her the same thing. She was about to ask him, if it was impossible, how did she just do it?
Young Allison didn't want Cameron to offend the worker.
"She's just good." Young Allison said. "Cindy's the best."
Cameron wanted to reaffirm their arrangement.
"Do we have a deal?" Cameron asked.
The worker reached into his pocket and took out the hundred dollar bill. He went to hand it back to Cameron.
"A deal's a deal." The worker said. "It was some mighty fine shooting."
Cameron smiled at him. She liked it when everyone was happy. Happy people weren't usually a problem.
"The money is yours to keep." Cameron said. "I told you it was for the range time and a tip for you. A deal's a deal."
The worker looked very happy now. He put the money back into his pocket.
Young Allison wanted to take the practice a little further.
"I don't see any paper targets here." Young Allison said. "Why don't you let me take one of those boxes out and set the targets up on the ground so they're standing up? I think the dirt will hold them."
The worker looked a little unsure.
Young Allison produced a ten dollar bill.
"We'll pay for them." Young Allison said. "We don't take advantage of anyone. We pay our fair share. "You can keep the change as part of your personal tip. We greatly appreciate your assistance."
The worker smiled.
"I'll help you." The worker said.
They each carried a box of clay pigeons out and set them up around the area. They were all several feet apart. They returned back to the area to shoot from.
Cameron wanted to offer the attendant an additional incentive to continue to assist them. She didn't want it to cost him any money.
"We can always use old cans." Cameron said. "We can do it the next time."
The worker thought it was a good idea. Old cans were cheap. They were free. They could also be reused multiple times.
"I think it can be arranged." The worker said. "You said you were a fancy shooter."
Cameron reloaded the magazine for the Hi-Power.
"I am." Cameron said. "The standard capacity of this magazine is thirteen rounds. It's been modified to hold two additional rounds by reducing the height on the bottom of the follower. I'll shoot from the back towards the front so no debris, dirt, or rocks hit any of the targets behind them and knock them down."
Young Allison thought about making a wager with the worker again. She thought it might be a bad idea. She knew Cameron would win.
"Will you hit every target with one shot?" The worker asked.
Cameron smiled.
"I will." Cameron said. "I want my sister to practice first."
The worker was a little surprised when 'Emily' produced her own Browning. He thought she must have taken it out of the backpack or something.
Young Allison knew she was at a slight disadvantage. She'd never fired the firearm before. She was aware the Metal girls would have made sure the sites were dead on.
"I'm not quite as fast as she is." Young Allison said. "Everyone get ready."
Young Alison fired the first round. She hit the target farthest to the back. She was pleased at how accurate the Hi-Power was. She liked the feel of a weapon made from iron and wood, well, steel and wood in this case.
She emptied the rest of the magazine and scored with every shot.
The worker was amazed.
"Wow." The worker said. "You're incredible."
Cameron handed Young Allison a fresh magazine from the backpack.
"I think I'm better than average." Young Allison said. "She's the best.
Cameron picked up her Hi-Power. She decided not to operate at her full Terminator ability.
"My turn…." Cameron said.
She fired fifteen times in rapid succession and scored fifteen hits. She did it in less than half the time Young Allison did.
The worker knew one thing for sure. Both of the girls could shoot.
"Wow." The worker said. "I wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it. "Even so, it's still hard to believe."
Cameron was pleased he didn't say it was impossible again.
The worker went back to restocking the clay pigeons for later on.
Cameron and Young Allison continued to practice shooting.
Anything You Want
The way some people act
It can be quite an affront
They always drop the ball
When they should run or punt
They exhibit bad manners
They can be quite blunt
One thing always to be expected
Will be some type of foolish stunt
They like to be rude
They are quick to confront
When the finger points at them
The blame they try to shunt
When it comes to the heavy lifting
Others must bear the brunt
They don't want to help
Or act like a grunt
When there's a line
They push to the front
One thing they will never hear is
Anything you want
Nobody
