Chapter 278

I Have All Day

In Some Future:

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Cameron scouted around the bunker she left the girls in. She wanted to retrieve the plasma mine after she collected some other resources. She wanted to look over some of the dead in better detail without the girls there to watch her. She wanted to determine exactly what the different groups were they would need to deal with.

There was no doubt about whether or not Skynet was there. There were both Terminators and Grays on the battlefield. The Resistance fighters appeared to be very disorganized. Most of the uniforms were very ragged and basic. Many of the individuals appeared to be sick. The Grays were in a little better condition. They didn't look quite as emaciated as the Resistance fighters did.

So far she hadn't spotted any female Terminators among the fallen. There were no females among the Grays either. There were some among the Resistance dead. There weren't very many. She was able to collect a little more food and water. It was something the girls were going to need. She was worried she may have taken a little too long on her latest search. Her fears were soon confirmed.

She was on her way back to the bunker with more weapons and supplies when she saw the figures approach the bunker where the girls were at. She quickly set the items she just collected on the ground. She broke into a run. She hoped to intercept the men from reaching the girls. She didn't think she was going to make it in time. It was too far for a clear shot. She would drive the men inside the bunker if she missed, or only wounded them.

She was unsure where they came from. She checked the area twice. They must have come up from underground. There must be a tunnel or another bunker. She hoped there weren't others. They could be watching her now. She was afraid she was now a moving target. Someone could be tracking her right now with a 'Barrett Light Fifty'. It seemed as if things were falling apart fast. Things always seemed to have a way to do it. She thought it was a pretty safe bet they were all going to be terminated in the future they were currently in.

Cameron spotted there was a dog with the men. It most likely meant they weren't Terminators, unless they were Terminators with a Liquid Metal Terminator, or the dog was mechanical as well. Whatever it was, she needed to be there to protect her friends. The girls risked everything for her. They came with her to keep her from 'being built'. They went with her because they loved her. Now look at the mess she put them in. She hoped the men weren't Scavengers…. None of the girls needed to go through anything so traumatic again.

She advanced on the men. She carried a plasma rifle, it was in good condition. She also found a couple of plasma grenades. If the men threatened the girls in any way, they were going to be terminated. It didn't matter who they were. Any group of Grays, Scavengers, or the Resistance, would be treated the same way if they were a threat. She would terminate anyone who got in her way. The only way she was going to be able to function was by setting the girls as her prime directive. Nothing would stop her then, nothing. She did it as she ran. The girls and John were the only things which mattered to her. She loved the girls and they loved her. None of them ever looked down on her, insulted her, threatened her, rejected her, threw her away, or replaced her….

They were there for her. She was going to be there for them.

Allison saw the men were almost to the entrance. She moved into the center of the bunker ready to draw them closer to her on the far side so Vanna and Jesse could move behind them. They waited on either side of the door.

As the men approached the bunker, the dog started to pull violently on its leash. The dog wanted to run. It whined, twisted, and turned, to try to get away. It chewed at the leash one of the men held it by. It picked up the 'predator' pheromones from Cameron and it was afraid. The dog was terrified and desperately tried to run away, to escape. It finally managed to pull free and run off much to the anger of the two figures. They never saw it behave in such a strange manner before. It would become aggressive if there was a Terminator. It never cowered in fear and panicked before.

The only logical conclusion the men could come up with was there was something in the bunker. It seemed like a threat. As to what the threat was, they didn't know. The two men looked at each other and then at the bunker.

"I've never seen such strange behavior before." The first man said. "The dog seemed terrified."

The second man looked nervously around.

"What do you think it is?" The second man asked. "Do you think it could be a mountain lion? I heard there's still a few of them around."

The first man almost laughed. The tales of wild animals were greatly exaggerated.

"I guess it could be a bear." The first man said.

The second man gripped his weapons tighter.

"I hope it's not a bear." The second man said. "It could kill us. No wonder the dog ran off."

The first man moved closer to the second man.

"I'm pretty sure we're dealing with humans." The first man said quietly.

The second man looked a little more relieved. Humans weren't too hard to kill.

The girls were little concerned about the turn of events. It didn't look like things were going to play out as they thought they would. What they heard next seemed to make everything even worse.

"Come out, or we'll throw a plasma grenade inside." A voice commanded.

It didn't leave the girls many choices. If they failed to act, the chances were good they could all be killed or severely burned if a plasma grenade was thrown inside. Even a fragmentation grenade was bound to leave all of them wounded.

Allison needed to act. She would take the risk.

"I need to go up and 'surrender'. You two lie down and pretend you're sick or incapacitated." Allison whispered. "Have your weapons ready."

Jesse wanted to fight. There was no guarantee about what would happen next.

"I don't like it." Jesse whispered. "We can take them."

The men outside were ready to act. They were tired of waiting.

"Come out now. This is your last warning." A voice commanded.

Allison motioned for Jesse and Vanna to lie down. She messed up her hair a little bit and tried to sound as if she was even more frightened than she was.

"Don't hurt me." Allison said loudly and moved out of the bunker.

There were two men with weapons to 'greet' her. There was no sign of the dog.

Allison took a step to the side of the entrance. She tried to look as non-threatening as possible. She could understand the trepidation anyone felt when they thought they might be facing the enemy.

Both of the men pointed weapons at her. It looked like they were about to light her up.

"I think she's a Terminator." The leader said.

It was about the last thing Allison wanted to hear. She wondered what they would have thought if she was Cameron.

"I'm not." Allison said.

The other man looked Allison over a little too much. He seemed to be able to see her naked in his mind.

"She looks more like a Gray." The other man said. "Look how pretty she is. Nobody looks like she does around here."

Allison thought maybe she should have messed her hair up even more. She wanted to tell them she wasn't from around there. She was sure if she did, there would be a lot more questions as to where she was from and how she got there.

The two men looked Allison over in detail. They both knew Scavengers got a hold of every female at some point. They always left their marks behind on those they let live. It was usually evident when they were naked.

So far neither of the two men moved to get closer to her. The man who appeared to be in charge indicated the opening for the bunker with his plasma rifle.

"Is there anyone else in there?" The leader asked.

Allison took a step forward. She would try to get them to take her away. She felt confident Cameron would come for her later wherever they took her. She didn't think they were Scavengers. They would already be on top of her if they were. She remembered how it was the time she was captured by Scavengers. All of her clothing was off by the time they moved her from the entrance of their bunker to the living quarters. She also remembered what they were going to do to her before the abuse began. Luckily, Mrs. Weaver intervened and saved her. She still couldn't get the image of Mrs. Weaver standing there in a white dress with high heels. She really looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine. Instead, she was more like 'Walking Death'.

"No." Allison said. "I'm alone. I want to go to a Resistance Camp. It's where I was headed. I just needed to rest for a while. We can go now."

The other man moved closer to her. His eyes were all over her. It left her with a very uncomfortable feeling. She was pretty sure if the other man wouldn't have been there, he would have jumped her right there.

"Where are you from?" The other man asked. "There are only Grays and Terminators out here now."

Allison was really uncomfortable about the way the man looked at her. She knew a 'look' like his usually led to abuse. She endured those before. It sure seemed the man wanted to corner her.

She saw it was about to get worse.

The leader prepared to throw a plasma grenade inside. He was about to arm it.

"Wait!" Allison shouted. "I have two friends inside. They're hurt. I can't wake them anymore. They can't move."

Both men prodded her with weapons. It looked as if either one of them might shoot her in the back. She knew she couldn't really blame them. She was out of place where she was at.

"Hands up and move forward." The leader said.

The second man forced Allison to go forward with a weapon at her spine. He was forceful.

Allison hoped she would be able to play the game. A sick feeling rushed over her as she considered they may be Scavengers after all. She knew it wouldn't deter the men at all from abusing her after they killed her. She heard all of the stories before. She knew Scavengers liked to hear their victims scream. She hoped it would keep her alive a little longer so they could make her scream first once the abuse started. She feared for her friend's safety. She sure hoped Vanna and Jesse were ready for whatever happened next.

Earlier:

Cameron watched the dog break free and run off in terror. Its tail was between its legs. Then she saw Allison come out before one of the figures was about to throw some type of grenade inside the bunker. She was angry at herself for letting it happen. She increased her speed and sacrificed stealth. She was going to terminate the men. She no longer cared if she was a target. Her friends needed her and they needed her NOW.

The leader didn't like the new development. The girl already lied to them about being alone. Now there were 'three' of them. Maybe there were ten of them. It might be best to incapacitate her first. They could then throw her body inside the bunker to see what happened. They could still throw in a plasma grenade at any point. He wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't uncommon to find people near death as they sought help.

"Don't do anything stupid." The leader said.

The three of them entered the bunker.

They could see the bodies of two females lying in the center of it. Neither one of them moved.

The other man gave Allison a hard shove. She almost fell.

"Get on your knees and face the wall." The other man commanded.

Allison thought it was about to go from bad to worse.

"Don't get pushy." Allison said. "My friends need help."

The leader took a step back to cover all three of the girls. He wasn't sure what they faced. It was very uncommon to find three females out in the Wastelands alone. What made it seem even more unlikely was the fact a major battle was fought only a short distance away from where they were at. They needed to find out more about them.

"Search all three of them." The leader said.

The other man smiled. He planned to 'search' them alright. He quickly checked Jesse and Vanna. His hands lingered on their breasts as he 'searched' them. His hands found all their private areas.

He moved to Allison and did the same thing. He took an extra moment to squeeze both of Allison's breasts once. His hands lingered and hungrily returned for more. He was forceful this time.

Allison blew her stack. She turned and slapped him as he fondled her.

"Get your hands off me you, creep." Allison said as she stood and faced him. "I won't let you touch me like that again. You don't have any right to touch me in a sexually abusive manner."

Both men trained their weapons on her.

The man who started the search didn't like the rebuke. Broads didn't tell him what to do or not to do.

"Get back down, Bitch." The other man said. "I'm not done searching you yet."

Allison faced them down. She didn't think she would ever need to be abused by anyone again. She needed to remember she was no longer in the past. She went back to the future. It was still a matter of principle.

"You are done touching me. You'll have to kill me before you touch me again in such a disrespectful and vile manner. I don't care who you are." Allison said in anger. "You know it was wrong. You weren't looking for a weapon with what you just did to me."

Allison really hoped Jesse and Vanna made their play soon. She knew she didn't have very many cards to play.

The other man jabbed Allison with his plasma rifle. She winced in pain.

"Strip then, Bitch." The other man said. "Let's see you're unarmed then."

Allison remained defiant. She didn't doubt for a moment once her clothes were off she wouldn't be abused by at least one, if not both of the men.

"No." Allison said. "You won't touch me again while I'm alive."

The other man smiled and raised his plasma rifle.

"It's easy enough." The other man said.

Allison held her ground and drew both men's attention. She raised her hands above her head. She moved a little off to the side.

"Go ahead." Allison said. "I won't do it. I'll never submit to you or anyone."

The leader could see things were escalating out of control rapidly. He felt the other man may have been a little bit too aggressive in his treatment of the female.

"Joe, back off. We're not Scavengers." The leader said. "I'm sorry for what happened, Miss. I'm Sergeant Collins. We don't know what's going on here. You and your friends are definitely out of place."

'Joe' reluctantly backed away.

Allison was ready to act. She could see she was in the line of fire from where Jesse and Vanna were. It was probably the only reason they hadn't opened up already. She decided to be a little more bold.

"Let me check on my friends, they're ill." Allison said. "Excuse me, they're right there and not going anywhere."

Allison brushed past the men.

She went to check on Vanna and Jesse. Both of them still lay unmoving. She could feel they both pointed weapons at the two men. They were ready to fire. The leader's apology was probably the only thing which kept them alive. It might not last much longer.

The leader showed some real concern at this point. He didn't like the way events played out so far, especially on his part.

"What's wrong with them? Can we move them?" Sergeant Collins asked. "How can we help them?"

Allison moved in a manner so the men would move. She wanted to get their backs to the opening. She expected Cameron to return very soon. At least she hoped she did. She wanted Cameron to have a clear shot at their backs when she arrived. She was painfully aware of how things happened in her future. She doubted this one was any different.

"They're sick, it's all I know." Allison said. "You know how it is. Sometimes people just get sick. It happens fast. Nobody knows why."

The two men nodded. A lot of things happened. Most of them weren't good.

Allison saw a welcome sight. Her hope Cameron would come back soon just occurred. She was relieved to see Cameron enter the bunker and move behind the two men.

Cameron saw her opportunity to enter the bunker. She arrived seconds ago. She considered killing both men as she entered. They looked like Resistance fighters. She heard what one did to Allison. The leader's apology bought them some time. It wouldn't be much depending upon the way they reacted to her.

She moved up behind the men.

"Is there a problem here?" Cameron asked.

Both men spun around.

Cameron stood there with a plasma rifle ready to fire.

Allison and the girls made their move and pulled their weapons out. The men were covered in a cross fire situation now.

The men saw they were screwed. They lowered their weapons.

The girls disarmed the two men while Cameron covered them.

Sergeant Collins sized Cameron up. He could see she was serious. The look on her face radiated death. It would be his death if he said or did the wrong thing.

"There's no problem." Sergeant Collins said. "We have to check all newcomers. We don't want to be infiltrated again. You would do the same thing."

Cameron still held her plasma rifle ready. Both men could tell she was ready to use it on them.

Allison pointed at Joe.

"I've got a problem with him." Allison said.

Cameron wanted to stress her point and her position.

"If you have a problem with my sister, then you have a problem with me." Cameron said.

Sergeant Collins glared at Joe. It was his fault.

"Take it easy." Sergeant Collins said. "We're cool."

Both of the men were aware Allison looked good, but her newly arrived 'sister' was even better looking somehow. Nobody looked like she did from around their area.

Vanna pointed her weapon at 'Joe'. She didn't like what happened earlier. She moved closer to him. He took a step back and bumped into the wall. There was nowhere for him to go. He looked very scared at this point.

"The one bastard felt all of us up." Vanna said.

Joe knew he was on shaky ground. It could go badly for him fast.

"I just searched you." Joe said.

Jesse was just as defiant as Allison and Vanna. Right now she looked as blood thirsty as Cameron did.

"Then why do we still have these weapons we're holding?" Jesse asked. "Squeezing my norks and touching my jut isn't a search. It's sexual abuse. It's a crime punishable by death where I come from. We almost killed you."

Sergeant Collins could see they were about to get lit up. He didn't think he'd done anything wrong. He shouldn't have let Joe take things as far as he did. He also needed to watch out for his trooper.

"Look, this is all a misunderstanding. Let's not escalate anything." Sergeant Collins said. "I apologize again for anything which was done inappropriately. There will be a lot more professionalism in the future."

Sergeant Collins hoped he would have a future. The girls were steamed.

Cameron felt she made her point. She wasn't done yet. She wanted to make sure there weren't more of them on the way. A two man patrol was pretty small, even with a dog.

"You two keep watch." Cameron said to Vanna and Allison. "Someone else may show up."

They took rifles and went to watch. They would be on the lookout.

Cameron nodded at Jesse.

Jesse understood what Cameron indicated. She felt a rush of exhilaration as she reached for her knife.

The two men watched as the look of hate on the one female's face changed to a smile when she pulled a knife out. It was clear it was something she enjoyed doing and it obviously wasn't her first time.

"We're going to have a nice 'talk' with these two fine gentlemen." Cameron said as she indicated Jesse's knife.

Jesse smiled. It was a smile of death, not joy.

"Something tells me they are going to be quite talkative." Cameron said.

Jesse wanted some payback.

Both men could see it in her eyes. It was clear she did the same thing before and was ready to do it again.

Jesse wanted to give both of the men something to think about. Once they realized the true predicament they were actually in, it would make it easier to get information from them.

"I know they are, especially him." Jesse said as she indicated 'Joe'. "Let's see how he likes getting 'handled' for what may be his last time as a man. We can still hear what he has to say as a soprano."

Both men swallowed hard. They could see the one girl was crazed with anger. They also realized she might be insane. Neither one of them was going to voice such an opinion, yet.

Allison looked back from the opening at the scene unfolding inside the bunker. She wanted to tell Jesse to hurt the one man who abused her. She really wanted Jesse to hurt him where, and in a way, he would never forget…. Jesse told her of past events where she'd done it to men….

Cameron thought things played out enough to make the men understand they were out of options. The girls and her were in total control. Events would play out the way they determined.

"Well?" Cameron asked. "I'm waiting. I have all day, you don't…."

Jesse looked at Allison.

Allison nodded back to Jesse.

Jesse smiled…. She knew what Allison wanted. She wanted to hurt the man in a lasting way. She was highly aroused right now. She hadn't done anything of this nature in years. With great anticipation, she could almost hear the man beg and plead as she went to work. She would hold the 'trophy' up in front of his face to confirm her action was successful. She wanted to remind him of the finality of the results.

"Times up, soon nothing else will be either." Jesse said.

Jesse laughed evilly and moved forward with the knife.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Dig In

Shoot the horses, plant the flag
From this battlefield I will not retreat
Wounded I fight for what I believe
Only my last breath will be my defeat

The fight isn't fair if I'm pushed away
I'll warn of future inevitable treachery
Cruelty is banned from the battlefield
They'll use it against you for their lechery

You are injured and not thinking clear
The casualties must be moved to the rear
Only time will dull the tormenting pain
The wounds need treatment to heal and sear

No place to run, no place to hide
Outnumbered here they come but yet I try
For your honor, safety and very life
I will never surrender, they must make me die

Nobody
