Chapter 195

Isabel-Cameron

Derek, Kyle, Jim, and Mel continued their loose pursuit of the box truck. They always kept one or two cars between them and the truck. They wanted to see where it went.

The box truck made a right turn at the next big street.

Mel was familiar with the street map. He turned on the small side street before the large street. He went down it for two blocks and cut over to the main street. He came out in back of a brown delivery van which was behind the box truck.

If the suspected Grays in the box truck were watching the corner, no one would have followed them around it.

Kyle wondered what was in the truck.

"Do you have any idea what they're carrying, or are going to pick up?" Kyle asked.

Mel checked the truck when it was at the original location where they discovered it.

"There was nothing in it when I first checked it." Mel said. "There was nothing in the building where it was parked either."

Derek wondered about it.

"Do you think it's possible the location which didn't yield anything, was yet to be used for Skynet purposes?" Derek asked.

Jim and Mel placed surveillance cameras inside of the building.

"So far nothing has developed there." Jim said. "The only change was the removal of the box truck."

Kyle could see they didn't know any more than they did.

"Hopefully we'll come up with something." Kyle said. "It looks like they're going to make another turn."

They watched the box truck make a left hand turn two streets ahead. It was a side street. It was possible they were near their destination. It might only be a stop too.

Derek, Kyle, Jim, and Mel would need to see what developed.

Holly knew Isabel-Cameron wanted to see her. She wasn't sure what it was about. Maybe Isabel-Cameron wanted to be with her. If it's what Isabel-Cameron needed, then so be it. She would do anything to help her. She felt she was ready to take the next step. She cared about Cameron enough. Isabel-Cameron was 'Cameron'. She always thought John would be her first. They were close many times. It could have happened dozens of times, but it never did. Now there was 'this'. She was ready. Life moved forward, not backwards.

There was now a certain level of anticipation and apprehension. She didn't have any actual experience. She only had programming files. She knew what to do, even if she never did it. She figured she would learn what she needed to know fast enough. Everyone did once they 'started'.

She secretly watched the girls together. She watched the other couples as well. She saw what they did with each other, and how each of them responded. It appeared to be very rewarding and pleasurable to all of them. Based upon her personal observation, she believed the time the girls spent with each other was more rewarding to the female, than it was for a female to be with a male. She didn't know if it was always the case or not, but it seemed to be based upon her observation. It appeared the sharing between two females was more evenly divided. It lasted much longer, than a female being used by a male. She wasn't sure if used was the proper term or not, but it is how it appeared to be.

She was now at the door of Isabel-Cameron's room. She composed herself and prepared to knock. She didn't know what was going to happen next, but she was ready for whatever happened.

Holly knocked and entered.

Isabel-Cameron sat naked on the side of the bed. She smiled when she saw Holly. She touched the bed next to her.

Holly sat next to her. It was what she used to do for John. Duplicate Cameron was on her chip then and knew it. Isabel-Cameron now possessed those same files.

They both leaned back with their feet on the floor.

Holly noted the new jewelry Isabel-Cameron now wore. She thought they looked HOT, but said nothing. She wondered how she would look with a pair. It was something she would explore. It enhanced the natural beauty of Isabel-Cameron. She thought it would for her too. It added an extra layer of allure and excitement just from a visual level.

The urge to touch them was overwhelming, but Holly refrained. She knew if she did. it would initiate some type of sexual response from Isabel-Cameron. She was there for Isabel-Cameron, not to prompt her into a sex act. If it happened, she was ready. It would need to be initiated by Isabel-Cameron, not by her.

Both women stared at the ceiling and talked.

Holly shared this way with John many times. It was someone to talk to, without tension or judgment. Sometimes it was just to be there to show someone cared. It always could have gone sexual, but it never did. Maybe it actually made it more special without the sexual aspect. They could connect one on one as equals. Maybe it allowed them to open up their deepest feelings because it was hard to do under any circumstance. If things would have been sexual, no deep feelings or thoughts would have been shared.

Isabel-Cameron was very frustrated. She wasn't sure where to start. There were so many things which troubled her. She didn't want to hear anyone talk about 'Cameron'. It always seemed to creep up at some point during a conversation. It was especially so every time she talked with John. John was her biggest problem.

"John won't touch me." Isabel-Cameron said. "This sheath doesn't excite him."

Holly didn't think it was the correct interpretation of what the real 'problem' or issue was. She needed to be very diplomatic with her answer. She listened to more than a few of the conversations between them.

"He wants 'Cameron' back." Holly said. "I can say your current sheath is very beautiful. It's very 'exciting' to look at, especially with the new jewelry. I find it to be even more attractive than it was."

Holly took another quick look. There was no doubt about it. The new jewelry was HOT.

Isabel-Cameron glanced down at her nipple rings. She did like the look. He reached down and took one of the rings between her index finger and thumb. She moved it up and down absent-mindedly as she spoke. It was the issue of 'Cameron' which was the problem. She thought it was something she was able to put behind her. It didn't appear to be so. It still followed her wherever she went.

"I threw her away, just like everyone else did. If no one wanted her, why should I?" Isabel-Cameron asked. "You know I hate her."

Holly believed otherwise on this issue as well. It was why 'she' was on Isabel-Cameron's chip right now. She was sure Cameron cared about who she was, and it was why it all bothered her so much.

"I know you think you do." Holly said. "I know you don't really."

Isabel-Cameron frowned. She wanted Holly to agree with her, not disagree.

"You are just saying it because you're 'in my head'." Isabel-Cameron said.

It was true. 'Holly' was literally in Isabel-Cameron's head. A copy of her program was on Isabel-Cameron's chip.

It was nothing new. Duplicate Cameron's program was on Holly's chip for more than a year.

Holly was just going to say it to get it out. She felt it was way past time. Isabel-Cameron never wanted to hear it before, but she was going to hear it now.

"You won't listen to anyone. Your 'Cameron chassis' is in perfect condition. It never Resequenced." Holly said. "Your chassis and sheath are as good as the day you were constructed."

Isabel-Cameron's head snapped over and looked at Holly's face. She released the ring she held between her index finger and thumb.

"NO WAY!" Isabel-Cameron said.

Holly wasn't going to play games or argue. She would let the facts do the talking. She gave Isabel-Cameron a file number.

"Open the file and see for yourself." Holly said.

Holly previously transferred the file over on her last update with Isabel-Cameron. Everything was current along with a date and time stamp.

Isabel-Cameron opened and reviewed the file. She checked it three times. Each time the information was the same. It was hard to believe. She could see Holly was serious.

"Do you mean I still look the same?" Isabel-Cameron asked.

Isabel-Cameron sat up. There was a mild look of astonishment on her face. She began to contemplate the different possibilities now open to her. She could see there would be more doors opened, than there would be closed, going forward.

Holly sat up also.

"Yes." Holly said. "The 'functioning' should be the same too since nothing changed. Everyone has tried to tell you this. The last time we interfaced, I transferred the file to 'myself' in you. I knew you wouldn't believe anyone unless you saw it yourself. You are now ready to believe it."

Isabel-Cameron was a little beyond bewildered. If she knew her chassis was 'good to go', she may have swapped chips and used it with John. To achieve a 'finish' by 'herself' wasn't the same, even if the end result was the same. The journey was much less rewarding. It was actually dull and boring. She liked the interaction and sharing of two individuals, especially when they became one.

The door burst open with a crash.

"You get your as…." Allison started.

Allison stopped in mid sentence. She saw Isabel was naked. She saw Holly next to her. They were close. She saw the nipple rings. She focused on those more than the rest of Isabel without clothes on.

'DAMN that looks HOT.' Allison thought.

Allison believed she walked in on a sexual encounter. She was hot for blood, but now she felt embarrassed. It'd happened a few times to her in the future. She knew the feeling when someone interrupted a special moment, especially if it was a new conquest. If things were already started, it usually ruined the 'finish' or prevented it from happening at all. She felt she needed to get out of the room as quickly as possible.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were 'busy'." Allison said as she turned to leave. "Please forgive me and my intrusion. I don't know what I was thinking."

Isabel-Cameron was pleased to see Allison. She remembered the times Allison and Vanna tried to talk to her about Cameron. Jesse did as well.

"Wait." Isabel-Cameron said as she stood.

Vanna rushed in.

"I hope…." Vanna started then stopped as she took in the scene.

'THAT looks so HOT.' Vanna thought.

Vanna looked at Isabel-Cameron standing there with the new 'accessories'. She came to the same conclusion and feeling as Allison. It looked like a sexual encounter which was just spoiled by them. The prospect made her feel really bad. She knew what it was like to have an interrupted or spoiled 'finish'.

"I'm sorry…." Vanna said.

Vanna turned to hurry out. She wanted to be any other place than there right now.

Isabel-Cameron was pleased to see both of them.

"Wait. Holly just told me and showed me 'Cameron'." Isabel-Cameron said. "I didn't know. I didn't want to know. I'm sorry."

Jesse and Gail arrived.

Gail took in the scene and thought they should withdraw.

"It looks like we got here at an awkward time." Gail said.

Jesse took in the scene and thought they should stay. She said what everyone else thought.

"It looks more like the right time to me." Jesse said. "Isabel, YOU look HOT. LOOK at your jewelry."

Jesse immediately imagined herself looking the same way. She wanted a set of 'those'. She wanted a set of nipple rings. She knew her norks weren't as large, but it would still look HOT. The rings would overcompensate for any 'size issue' with anyone. They made a bold statement. She was willing to bet anyone would look longer at her with a set of rings than they would at someone else with a much larger size.

Isabel-Cameron looked down at herself. She was now aware she was naked. She forgot in her earlier anger. She must have left her clothes in John's room. No wonder everyone looked at her like she was naked. She was! She looked at herself in the mirror. She liked what she saw. She agreed with what Jesse said. She did look HOT.

She ran her hand over her left breast, down her side and up over the smooth curve of her rear end. She didn't see anything wrong with her current sheath.

Everyone there was 'turned on' to watch her do it.

She felt a little regret not to have been with John in her current chassis. Maybe she shouldn't have made such a big deal about her designation. A name was just a name. When the Restorators arrived from the alternate future, they only had a Unit number. She looked at Holly and Gail.

"I never got to try this body out. It's still 'untouched'. As of right now it's available to either of you." Isabel-Cameron said. "You may borrow it, or keep it, if either of you desire."

Jesse wanted Isabel's body for herself. She could see the beauty in it on about five different levels. She was a human. Isabel's chassis was a cyborg. It was impossible.

"If I could, I'd take it." Jesse said. "You're really HOT."

Everyone laughed.

Isabel-Cameron looked at the doorway. There were certain aspects of her 'old life' she wanted back. She liked the way everyone looked at her face first, not her body.

"I have my own chassis to claim." Isabel-Cameron said.

Holly looked upset and nervous with Isabel-Cameron's proclamation.

She stood and faced Isabel-Cameron. It was time to come clean. Things played out differently than she anticipated they would.

"I may have created a 'problem'…." Holly said. "It was unintentional."

Holly explained what she did. She copied her program, and Cameron's program, onto the spare chip. She left Cameron's original chip in her chassis and activated a 'Sleeping Beauty' file she received from Duplicate Cameron. It popped up on her HUD when she did the transfer. Evidently it was left from Duplicate Cameron when she was on her chip. It was another 'safety' from River. There seemed to be a few of those.

She didn't want to mess with Cameron's original chip. She simply activated what was already there as she followed the instructions from River. It also offered Cameron protection in case Skynet attacked Isabel-Cameron again by leaving her original chip in her original chassis. Cameron was still all original, with a few extra files.

Everyone needed to think about all of it for a few seconds. Even as complicated as it sounded, it seemed quite simple, as well as logical.

Isabel-Cameron was a little shocked to learn she wasn't 'Cameron'. She was a 'copy'. She wasn't the original. It didn't leave her with a good feeling. Not only was she in a different chassis, her program wasn't even original. She was a fake. She could see how things could get complicated fast.

"So there will be two of me again?" Isabel-Cameron asked.

Holly remembered the trouble when 'Bob' and 'Jim' were both 'Cameron'. It was bad enough with them in a male chassis. How would this be with two of 'Cameron' both in a female chassis? They were both incredibly beautiful too. She couldn't help but feel responsible for what was sure to follow.

"I'm afraid so." Holly said. "Any anger or animosity which is created should be taken out on me, not on each other. Neither of you were a party to the decision. I did it on my own. I'm sorry."

Isabel-Cameron was irritated now. She wasn't 'alone'. She wasn't unique. She didn't think it was Holly's fault. She wasn't sure if the original concept came from Duplicate Cameron or River. Duplicate Cameron no longer existed. River wouldn't be born for centuries. Holly only followed the directions which were provided to her. There seemed to be one big unanswered question.

"So why hasn't John reactivated my chassis again? Is there a problem?" Isabel-Cameron asked.

Holly wanted the truth out there. There was a noble quality to it if one thought about it.

"The problem is John." Holly said. "He loves YOU so much, he couldn't be with YOU as Isabel. He was too afraid to see YOU as Cameron, altered or destroyed, to go and actually see YOU. Like you, he didn't want to hear it."

The new revelation there were two of her continued to anger Isabel-Cameron. As twisted as the explanation seemed, somehow it was logical. There was still one important point.

"But I AM CAMERON." Isabel-Cameron said. "I'm his wife."

Isabel-Cameron quickly remembered she told John on multiple occasions she wasn't his wife. Maybe now wasn't the time to split hairs.

Vanna could picture it going forward. She also realized there was a 'spare' Cameron now too.

"It looks like John is going to have one HELL of a night." Vanna said. "YOU both are 'Cameron', and both his wife."

Jesse wanted some action like Vanna indicated.

"They're both HOT too." Jesse said. "I wish I was John tonight."

Allison could see it as well.

"I would give anything to be John tonight." Allison said.

The girls, and the Metal girls, ALL wished they could be with Cameron AND Isabel….

What could top that?

No, really. What could top that?

Cameron tried to process everything. She was able to hear everything which was said around her while she was in her special 'Sleeping Beauty' mode. It was a modified version of standby. All the files were being compiled currently. Some of them were very eye opening.

One thing which stood out above everything else was how much everyone cared about her as Cameron, the way she was. The way she is.

Cameron got up. She looked in the reflection of John's tearful eyes at herself.

"I look Tight. I didn't look like this the day I was supposed to be transferred into Isabel." Cameron said. "I looked like crap."

Cameron gasped. John would have believed Isabel was 'her'.

"Isabel! John you didn't…?" Cameron asked worriedly.

John was relieved Cameron was back. In reality she was never gone. He wanted to play with Cameron a little. Maybe it would help avoid future issues like the current one.

"Isabel IS YOU, you are my wife. What did you think was going to happen?" John teased her. "Isabel is your program, right?"

Cameron looked sad and defeated. She could see the mess she created. She really wondered what was wrong with her sometimes. What was she thinking?

"Yes. It's understandable, it was what I wanted. Now you may choose which one to keep and which one to erase." Cameron said.

John thought of another way to make his point.

"Can I keep both of you?" John teased. "You're both 'Cameron', and both my wife. I don't want to see either of you terminated. I would never erase you. I've never erased anything from you."

Cameron realized John could have erased files from her chip on multiple occasions, he didn't. He left everything as it was, even if it made him look bad. John wasn't Future John. It gave her something to think about. Right now there was a more pressing issue. She hoped to stay in the game. She'd given up her place once.

"Yes, if it's your choice. I'll be subservient to Isabel since I created the problem. I'll share with her too. If she will, I will." Cameron said.

John thought the last part of Cameron's statement would be hot. He remembered what Isabel-Cameron looked like when she stormed out of his room earlier. He didn't want to get ahead of himself. He wanted to accomplish a few things here.

"Let's go find Isabel." John said as he still teased her.

Cameron felt a little less joyful now. She really wondered what new problem was about to be created. It would be a problem she created.

What was she thinking?

No, really, what was she thinking?

John led Cameron away from the storage area.

Cameron became increasingly apprehensive as she neared the room John told her Isabel used. She wasn't sure why Isabel needed a separate room. Maybe she expanded her sexual relationship to the girls, or even the Metal girls. Maybe it was the male Terminators too. They would be able to 'stay with her', unlike John was able to do.

She knew it was a real possibility because all of those ideas were in her mind from time to time. Her biggest desire was to share with the human females. She wanted to feel the loving touches of Vanna, Allison, and Jesse. Strangely enough, it included Sarah and Riley as well. She knew they would all be different. She wanted it all.

Cameron walked into Isabel's room. She was instantly irritated and enraged at what she looked at.

"Does anyone care to explain this?" Cameron asked.

Isabel stood there naked, wearing HER nipple rings.

'Wow, she looks HOT.' Cameron thought.

"CAMERON."

It seemed everyone screamed out her name at once.

John walked it.

Isabel-Cameron looked at Cameron and then at John. Somehow this was his fault.

"YOU!" Isabel-Cameron said.

As she looked at John, her anger flared.

Cameron saw Isabel addressed John. She wondered what all was in play here.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Cameron took all of Isabel in. She stood there boldly and naked. She was even Hotter than she remembered. John was going to have to answer some questions about this. He was probably all over Isabel half a dozen times a day. She would be if she was him.

"YOU left me in there for ALL that time, while you were with - H E R?" Cameron asked.

She glared at John as her anger grew.

Cameron still held the player in her hand. She saw what the next song was. She wanted to make her new position clear. She looked at Isabel again and then glared at John.

"Listen up good - Mister." Cameron said as she hit play.

'Move It on Over' by 'George Thorogood', shook the room.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Love's Cry

I miss you
I miss you so much
Your beautiful face
Your loving touch

After so many years
You can still make me cry
No matter how many years
Without you, I want to die

You were my true love
As I was to you
I have never felt love for another
As I have felt love for you

Even when I try to 'hate' you
It ALWAYS comes back the same
'I hate you' means I love you
For 'hate' and 'love' are really the same

I wanted to be yours
I wanted you for the rest of your life
I wanted you forever
Our love would be rife

You know this is all true
You saw and felt it happening
You knew it was inevitable
Until you crushed it so saddening

I cried and cried and cried
I'm still crying today
You can make me cry even more
When to me, you have nothing to say

Nobody
