Chapter 560

Some Work Out

John was displeased about Cameron being shot up again. At least it didn't appear to be too bad this time. It was their life. He would've thought that he would be used to it by now but he never was. How could anyone be?

He wasn't happy about being 'kicked out' of the lab either. He did know that the longer he would've stayed that the more stress he would've put on Cameron. Savannah was there so he really didn't want to push it. He didn't want to look like 'jerk' in front of her. He would've liked to have seen Savannah change her clothes again. He really wanted another close up of that tight young body.

Now he was hung up on Savannah. He'd been so close to taking her virginity. That was something he really wanted. He wanted to be her first. He pictured her as she'd squirm beneath him as he 'took' her. He wanted to provide her with a different experience than she was used to. He wondered which one she would like better.

Great, now 'Little Willie' was up and ready to go. He looked around and adjusted his pants some so it wasn't so obvious. It wasn't that long ago that 'Little Willie' was bouncing around on the outside of Savannah. He was just one second away from being with Savannah.

He felt like he needed to pull it together some.

John went to the Command Center and made a last minute check with John Henry. He was pleased to see there weren't any new operations in the works. It seemed like it was a busy enough night as it was. He headed off to bed. He knew Cameron wouldn't be there tonight or tomorrow either. He never knew when she would be there. Maybe he should spend some more time with her when they were together. He would usually finish quickly and then fall asleep. He seldom seemed to satisfy Cameron but she said it was fine. She could always replay a file to be satisfied.

He preferred it when Cameron was there but he was used to sleeping alone. He knew he need not be alone because there were other female 'options' available….

There were many lonely nights when he knew all he needed to do was show up at Jesse or Vanna's room. They would be there with their Metal lovers or each other. Now it was Savannah he thought about. It was Cameron's fault. She made both of them want each other. Or was it? Maybe it was the 'Natural Order' asserting itself.

John was pretty sure in his many times of loneliness that if Allison was still at the base they would've been 'together'. John also noted Allison wasn't at the base. That again was Cameron's doing. He was aware of the fracture Cameron allowed to happen, if not create herself, between Vanna and Allison. He couldn't sleep.

He thought about watching a movie he liked again but then he would think about Young Allison. It used to be Savannah but she was older now. He'd been on top of her naked body. She was mature now. She was an adult now. He sure would've liked to have been with her then. He sure wanted to be with her now. He was about to 'knock one off' himself at this point. It wasn't his first choice but it got the job done. Maybe he would just go ahead and do that. He didn't really want to go there now. There was too much on his mind. He wanted something better. There were other females there. Maybe it was time he 'took' one. It didn't seem like big deal. It could just be a few minutes of shared pleasure. He knew he'd 'make it'. He wasn't sure if they would. He really didn't care right now. The thought of some smooth warm tightness called to him.

John looked around. Maybe he should just worry about his job. He actually thought things were a little pathetic at this point. His mind was too scattered right now.

He threw his clothes back on and started a review of the facility. He didn't know what it was going to do.

Maybe checking over everything would make him feel bored and get sleepy.

Savannah went to her room and slowly stripped. She was sore all over still. The most recent events added to her pain. She ran the water warm and climbed into the shower. Once she was inside for a minute and her body adjusted, she turned the water hotter.

As the hot water washed away her dirt, it also soothed her aching body. What it couldn't soothe was her aching heart. She was so unsure about what to do. She knew what she was supposed to do. She knew what she wanted to do instead. Either way she would hurt someone. If she did nothing, she hurt - herself.

Savannah knew she was needed here and needed now and would be needed in the future. Her life was decided and planned for her by others. She knew it wasn't just Cameron. She'd seen the future, Cameron's future. She'd lived in that future. Cameron hadn't lied about it or made anything up or left it out. It was what it was.

She eventually turned off the water and exited the shower. She dried herself off and stood in front of her mirror. She looked at her body. It was firm and tight. There were bruises and welts now along with scratches and scrapes. They were mostly minor but they were still there. She saw what people looked like in the future. Maybe her body was headed that way. Jesse and Vanna both bore scars that the future left on them. It was only a matter of time until she would end up the same way.

Savannah entered her room naked. She looked at her night clothes that she'd laid out. She looked in the mirror again and saw the tears in her eyes. They ran down her cheeks and dripped onto her breasts. She didn't bother putting her night clothes on. She just wanted to get into bed.

She opened her bed and turned off the light and climbed soundlessly into bed naked. The tears fell silently from her. She's hoped someone would have come to her room. She really thought Jesse would. She wanted what Jesse could offer her. She wanted to hold Young Jesse but she wasn't here. Jesse was. They were the same person after all.

Savannah looked around the empty darkness. She knew why. Nobody was there….

Earlier:

Cameron left the lab. She stopped to look back through the little window in the door.

She really wanted Savannah. She was very surprised that Savannah didn't 'take' more when she could have.

It made her think how special Savannah was. She always looked out for her. It took a rare individual to always put someone else before themselves. Maybe it was because of love. If it was love, it was pure love.

She understood that Savannah wanted what was best for her and not for herself.

Everything she wanted right now was in the lab.

She turned and went down the hall. She didn't stop by her room. John would want to 'use' her chassis if she did. She thought maybe she should let him knock off a quickie. It would only take two minutes. It wasn't going to do much for her. She was used to it by now. She would need to bring a spare pair of underwear with her to change later on.

She looked up and she was in the carpool. She didn't really remember going there but she was there.

"Nice night for a walk." Bob said.

She turned around and Bob was there with Gail.

"We thought we'd wait for you and carpool." Gail said.

Cameron wasn't so sure about that. Savannah probably asked them to wait and make sure she went to inspect the captured equipment and not go off on her own. She didn't want to make an issue about it.

"We can save some fuel that way." Cameron said.

Cameron wanted to ask Gail more about her fight with the two Terminators but it didn't seem like the right time. She was actually surprised that Gail was able to successfully defeat both of them. Gail did look a little worse for the wear. Savannah said she saw Gail fight and deactivate both of them. Maybe she should leave it at that.

She went with Bob and Gail to do the inspections and inventory everything. Both the HK Tracks and HK drones would be stripped down and refitted with the weapons they used. The improvements they made to their drones would be incorporated. Everything would be as if they were always theirs.

Cameron directed her Terminators to take one of the HK Tracks and two of the HK drones to her base. The rest would go into the Resistance stockpiles and dispersed storage areas. They were located in secure remote areas.

John Henry asked for two more HK drones to be added to their active fleet. He wanted to add an HK Track for base security but John said Sarah wouldn't like that. The large one they possessed already that could be manned, the HK Tread, caused enough tension.

Unknown to Cameron, CamNet took possession of two truck loads of HK drones once they were refitted. It appeared that CamNet wanted to establish her own offensive capability. CamNet was 'Cameron' but she was a separate entity for all practical purposes. She was like Cam, Cammy and Camille but much more powerful, even if she was trapped in a metal box.

Cameron eventually worked near Cammy. It wasn't an accident.

Cammy noticed that Cameron slowly worked her way over to her. She figured there would be an altercation soon. It was sooner than she thought.

Cameron looked at Cammy.

"You should've done it anyway." Cameron told her.

Cammy faced Cameron. It was her duty to protect Savannah. Cameron was a threat to Savannah.

"I will if you ever endanger Savannah again." Cammy said. "I only didn't because Savannah was there and stopped me. I almost did it anyway."

Cammy thought she could let Sheila 'play with' Cameron's deactivated chassis. She would even switch chips for Sheila if she would want to 'use' it. She would have liked to have seen that happen. It would please her to see Sheila abuse Cameron's chassis. Who did Cameron think she was anyway?

Cameron didn't care for the smirk on Cammy's face. She wanted to issue a challenge.

"Savannah isn't here now." Cameron said.

Cameron turned and lifted her shirt.

Cammy could see the Taser that Cameron carried.

Cameron offered it to Cammy to take and use on her.

Cammy looked at it. It was tempting.

Cameron took it out when Cammy didn't take it. She tried to hand it to Cammy along with a knife.

Cammy took neither.

Cameron thought she'd made her point. It was much the same that she'd done with Vanna a few days ago.

"You can't kill me." Cameron said. "Even if you want to, you can't."

Cammy knew she couldn't. She also wanted something from Cameron. It was her own termination.

"Cameron, as soon as you're with Savannah, I ask our programs be reintegrated and that we become one." Cammy said. "This chassis can be used for the Future Allison Terminator."

Cameron liked that idea. Cammy was redundant once she claimed Savannah for herself.

"Do you wish to remain as the base program for that?" Cameron asked.

Cammy didn't want to exist as a separate entity in any capacity. The humiliation of replacement didn't suit her.

"No. It will be our combined program with the Future Allison files that Ally has." Cammy said. "What will you name her?"

Cameron played with a few names. She liked to have part of her name with her 'program' in a different chassis or metal box. Two of them tantalized her.

"Alron, Camison…." Cameron said. "I don't know. Since it's Future Allison, maybe – Fusion or Allure."

Cammy tilted her head slightly. She liked the last two names too, especially the last one.

"I like Allure." Cammy said. "She would be very alluring…."

Cameron knew Allure could pose a 'risk'.

"You're aware that Savannah may choose Allure for herself." Cameron said. "It would be the 'improved' version of me, of us. What I – we should've been."

Cammy didn't care as long as Savannah found love, joy and happiness.

"So be it." Cammy said. "Savannah deserves the best. No sacrifice is too great for her. Her happiness should always come before mine."

Cameron didn't know what would happen.

"Life is about choices." Cameron said. "Some work out, some do not."

Cameron and Cammy went back to work.

Cameron knew she'd sacrificed too for Savannah. She'd facilitated and allowed Savannah to be with any of the females of her choice. She never wanted Savannah to feel lonely or unwanted or worse - replaced.

She smiled to herself. She was pleased at the joy she'd allowed Savannah to experience. She always thought she would be bothered more by Savannah's many 'partners'. It didn't bother her at all. She knew that she could take Savannah at any time from any of them. She wanted Savannah to feel all the love. She was painfully aware that Savannah lost both her parents, all three of them really, and both of her babies, her daughters. Savannah lost all of those things.

Savannah NEEDED that shared love to make up for the love she'd lost.

Cameron made sure Savannah was showered in love. She knew sacrifice was the true test of love. She'd sacrificed by allowing Savannah to share with others. She knew all of Savannah's love could go to her. Savannah's happiness and well being came before her.

John went to the area where the manned HK Tread was at. It was supposed to be unarmed. As he looked it over, he saw that wasn't the case. It was armed.

He immediately called John Henry.

"Why is the HK Tread armed?" John asked.

John Henry was aware of the aversion that Sarah felt towards Skynet technology. Some of it rubbed off on John. He didn't see a problem.

"Cameron and Savannah worked with it. Savannah wanted to use it for simulated 'live fire'." John Henry said. "Look closer, those are blanks in the miniguns."

John did look. He was actually a little surprised.

"OK, I should've checked better." John said. "It made me worry."

John Henry monitored Savannah's training. He was actually quite impressed.

"Savannah wanted to operate it under simulated combat conditions." John Henry said. "She's become quite proficient at it. Her ability and skill is almost as good as some of our Terminators."

John liked the idea that Savannah would be better protected inside of it. He also knew it would become a target on the battlefield once it's destructive power was unleashed.

"Is Cameron planning on using this thing somewhere?" John asked.

John Henry did wonder about it. There was no proof of that. He was aware it didn't need to be that HK Tread either. It could be another one. Most of those were in the future. It was an unpleasant thought.

"I don't know." John Henry said. "I'm unaware of any such plan."

John came to the same conclusion as John Henry. He didn't always like the way that Cameron did things.

"With Cameron, we usually find out about it after the fact." John said. "I'll ask Savannah."

John left and headed for the lab. He wanted to check up on the girls. Maybe he could catch some of them naked. He saw the lab was dark.

He went straight to Savannah's room. He stood outside the door. He couldn't bring himself to knock. As he stood there he was aware she was sobbing inside her room. It sounded as if she was crying herself to sleep…. That stung his heart greatly. He wanted to comfort her.

John turned the door handle. It was unlocked.

He cursed to himself and released the handle. It made a click sound. He didn't pay attention because he already started to walk away.

Before he knew it he stood in front of Vanna's room. It was quiet. John knocked. Nothing happened. John knocked again louder. Nothing happened. Her door was unlocked too.

John cursed to himself and released the handle. He'd just done THIS.

He moved on to Jesse's room. As he got closer he could hear 'activity' occurring inside the room. It was the sound of two people passionately making love. He went to move on. It seemed the music in the room got louder. He listened to it for a few moments.

'The House Is Rockin'' by 'Stevie Ray Vaughan', drifted out from their room.

John knew all he needed to do was go inside and Vanna and Jesse would be his for the night. They were both warmed up and ready to go. He wondered who he would have first. He thought he would lie on his back and he could service both of them at once that way. They could decide who was where. He imagined them kissing as they both derived pleasure from him. He hoped they'd switch positions. He felt himself 'ready'. He was at full attention with the thought.

Maybe there was something he wanted more.

John moved on. He thought about it - all of it. Isn't this what Cameron said she wanted? Maybe it was time to start listening.

Who was he fooling? Maybe it was only himself.

John knew what he WANTED.

He headed back towards Savannah's room….

It was time. He wanted Savannah and he wanted her virginity. She didn't need to cry herself to sleep. He could provide her with love and pleasure. He really needed her now.

John adjusted his pants as he walked.

Tonight was the night.

Some Work Out

For others and themselves
Most want what's best
It's when push comes to shove
That everything becomes a test

Some decided they want more
Others don't want to share
There are always those
Who don't care what they snare

Some try to regroup
They want the package to be whole
The takers and users
Just want a fresh hole

Some only see others
As something to use
They miss love's meaning
It is they who actually lose

Some try to determine
What life's all about
The bottom line is
Many don't but some work out

Nobody
