Chapter 647
Stalked
Allison was always excited Vanna up close. What she now looked at always reminded her of a pink butterfly. She'd never really seen anything else like it, except for Savannah and Hanna but they all shared the same DNA.
Vanna looked down at Allison. She waited with anticipation for her to get started. She was aware that everyone liked to look at her down there. It was because she looked that way that it probably saved her a lot of grief. Some of the men who held her captive at times all seemed to like it too, even to the point of not mutilating her as happened to the other girls.
Her head was soon pushed back into the pillow as Allison started. There was really no one else she would've preferred to do this more to her. She went along for the ride and was rewarded multiple times. Allison was her true love.
Allison was pleased at how she was able to satisfy Vanna. Vanna was her first and still remained her favorite. She'd been with dozens of females in the future and in the present. Vanna was still her most desired person to be with. Vanna was her true love.
Claire saw this as her opportunity to be with Cam. She knew that Cam was a version of Cameron.
Cam knew what Claire wanted. She was willing to play along.
"I really am her, you know." Cam said.
Claire really wondered how far Cameron would go with her.
"Would Cameron ever really be with me?" Claire asked.
Cam thought the fact that she was with her now was the answer to her question.
"I think she'd be with anybody who had a child for John and her." Cam said.
Claire was more determined than ever to work on that prospect.
Cam had been with Claire before. It really made her wonder how Claire didn't see her as her 'daughter'. They were identical after all. She figured not all humans were hung up on outdated moral issues.
Claire never did see Cameron is being the same as her daughter. That concept included Cammy and Cam by extension. When she was with Ally it was a little different story. That was fine with her because usually Ally and Sheila traveled together. She was sweet on Jessie and Sheila was a great stand-in. Sheila would do anything she wanted to do or allow her to do anything to Sheila that she wanted to do. It was quite an experience.
John Henry tried to coordinate everything. CamNet worked with him. He wondered where the HK drone they tracked was going. It was clear it came from some other area. Even though there were two of them, they seemed to want to avoid hostile action. None of it really made any sense.
It raised a lot of questions which there didn't seem to be any answers, at least not yet anyway. Why did the HK drones turn and run? Were they returning home or trying to lure their drones into a trap?
It was unknown if the HK drones were only doing recon or were part of the two operations they'd just taken down. There appeared to be two groups of HK drones that were unassociated with each other at the mine. Maybe this was more of the same. That was the way it seemed at this point anyway. Perhaps time would tell. They certainly weren't going to know anything different for a time anyway.
That most likely meant another group of Grays and Terminators. That was what they figured already anyway. It wouldn't be the first time either.
Cammy and Savannah looked around for Cameron or the other enemy Terminator, neither of them was spotted. They knew Gail took down one of the Terminators. That's the area they looked at to find Cameron.
Cammy scanned both sides and in front of them. Savannah watched the sides as well as the rear.
Cammy also scanned for any HK drones. She stopped and went down on one knee. She motioned for Savannah to join her. She wasn't so sure they were the hunters at this point.
"We might be the ones being stalked." Cammy whispered.
Savannah looked all around them. She didn't see anything out of place.
"Do you know where Cameron is at?" Savannah asked.
Cammy felt they needed to move and move quickly.
"No." Cammy said. "We need to get away from here."
Savannah understood the danger but she was also worried about Cameron.
"What about Cameron?" Savannah asked. "We can't go off and leave her. We need to know her disposition. You know I'm not going to leave without her."
Cammy could see that there was no cover for them. Their safety was in jeopardy.
"We're too exposed." Cammy said.
Savannah understood the danger to them. Cameron was just as important.
"We're not leaving Cameron alone." Savannah said.
Savannah moved her Taser into her left hand. She thought that Cammy and her could take the fight to the enemy Terminator.
"The Terminator didn't appear to have any weapons after the missile attack unless he's acquired them from Cameron." Savannah said. "There are two of us. Let's go find him."
Cammy looked at Savannah. She knew how important this was to her. They still needed to use common sense.
"OK, we will give it two more minutes and then we're going to withdraw." Cammy said.
Savannah would deal with the timeline at the end of the two minutes if they hadn't found Cameron yet. She didn't plan on leaving Cameron behind or alone. She wondered what damage Gail received in the attack that happened to her. It could be worse than they thought. Savannah knew Gail would stay with them even if the manned drone or she herself was damaged and needed repair.
She knew they would all stay for her. It didn't make her feel comfortable thinking of it. Everyone mattered, not just her. Right now Cameron mattered most of all. They weren't leaving without her.
The surviving white van fled the area. They'd left their associates behind to their fate. They made a run for it. It seemed typical of most of the Gray's behavior.
John Henry tracked the van for John's team.
John hoped that John Henry could give them a better overview.
"Can you tell where they're headed?" John asked.
It was too early for John Henry to make that determination. He could only give them position information.
"No." John Henry said. "You're one half mile behind them."
John was worried that some of the Grays might try to bail and make a run for it on foot.
"Has anyone gotten out of the van?" John asked.
John Henry put his own jamming field into effect.
"No." John Henry said. "I have all communications blocked. They can't contact anyone."
John was ready to divide his force to make sure any fleeing in Grays didn't get away.
"If anyone gets out, I need to know right away." John said.
John Henry watched the van make a series of turns. He wasn't sure if they attempted to check for a tail or not.
"They've made several turns." John Henry said.
John wondered if they were headed back to where they left from to check on their compatriots.
"Are they doubling back?" John asked.
"No, I believe they are headed for where Cameron's at." John Henry said. "They have no way of knowing what's happened there. I have everything blocked. They think they're headed toward safety, they're not."
John hadn't heard any updates about Cameron's team. He was worried about them..
"What's happening there?" John asked. "Do you have anything new?"
John Henry was able to get one of their drones into position outside the perimeter where Cameron's team was at.
"I have one drone flying outside the jamming field." John Henry said. "It shows the manned drone was attacked but avoided major damage. Gail just made a ground attack with the minigun."
John wasn't sure if Gail attacked whoever fired on her or helped Cameron's team.
"That can't be good." John said. "Cameron's team must be pinned down."
John Henry watched Gail climb away from the position she'd attacked. She remained close by to lend further assistance.
"Gail has climbed back to altitude but hasn't exited the jamming field." John Henry said.
John took that information as an indication of further danger to Cameron's team.
"That means she's preparing to make another strafing run instead of trying to communicate." John said. "That has to be bad news for those on the ground."
John wasn't sure if Cameron's team was being attacked or about to be overrun.
"CamNet reports four of Cameron's Terminators have arrived on station now. They're about to enter the combat area." John Henry said.
John wanted as much help on the ground as possible.
"We need to send some of our troops there." John said. "I want more Terminators to help them."
John Henry was updated by CamNet. It appeared they just gained an advantage over the van full of Grays.
"CamNet has directed all Resistance Terminators to back you up." John Henry said. "Frank and Mel are in front of the van now. Do you want it stopped?"
John was ready for some action.
"We're moving up on it." John said. "I've told Jim to close up. As soon as Frank and Mel see us coming, have them initiate the stop."
John Henry relayed the message. Everybody was soon in position.
"They see you approaching behind the van in the distance. They're about to stop it." John Henry said.
John could see that Jim closed up the distance between them and the van.
"We will be there in thirty seconds." John said. "It's a go."
John Henry watched the events unfold from the drone footage.
"They're engaging." John Henry said.
Cameron tried to reacquire the Terminator she'd been stalking. The attack on the one that stalked her allowed him to slip away. She was still away from where Cammy and Savannah were and she hoped to keep it like that. She would try to draw attention herself if she thought he was too close to Cammy and Savannah.
She spotted some movement headed back towards the burning compound. It seemed unlikely there was more help coming for the Terminator. It could be he was trying to evade her.
There was some movement behind her. She hoped it was Cammy and Savannah.
As Jim closed on the van, John saw a dark SUV turn in front of it. That act caused the white van to swerve sideways to avoid a collision.
Jim's SUV screeched to a halt behind it seconds later. Jim and Ally were out in a flash. John remained on the far side of the SUV as Bob and Sheila arrived moments later. Bob hurried past him as Sheila joined him.
Sheila liked to play things up.
"Fancy meeting you here, love." Sheila said. "I haven't heard any shooting yet."
Sheila was armed with an M249.
There were some thrashing sounds and bending metal noises.
Sheila scanned all around them for threats. John held his M4 ready.
There were a few muted screams and then silence.
Bob returned to where John was at.
"We have four targets down." Bob said. "All of them are terminated."
John hadn't heard any Taser fire.
"Were there any Terminators?" John asked.
The rest of the team was in the process to make that final determination.
"They're checking the van now." Bob said. "Negative."
John and Sheila moved up. Sheila covered the area with the M249.
"You didn't take any prisoners?" John asked.
Bob shrugged his shoulders.
"None wanted to talk." Bob said.
Sheila looked very disappointed. Interrogating prisoners was her specialty. It excited her almost as much as sex did.
"I could've made them." Sheila said. "They all talk for me."
Sheila looked forward to 'working' with a new test subject. Maybe there would be some more where Cameron was at.
John knew why they were all dead. He'd told Bob before he didn't want people tortured. Bob wanted to point out that beating someone to death for answers wasn't much different. It was really only torture of a different type. The end result was the same. It wasn't sexual torture, at least not like Sheila practiced.
They searched the van for any tracking devices and found none. The men were searched and their phones deactivated. The phones would be checked over later at a secure location along with a laptop they'd found.
John looked at the boxes in the back of the van.
"I can't identify these electronic devices." John said as he looked at some. "They look like…."
Bob knew exactly what the components were.
"They are." Bob said. "Someone's trying to build a Terminator assembly line."
John was aware that if Skynet set up an assembly line for Terminators in the present that they would soon have an enemy force they would be unable to battle. There would simply be too many Terminators. Skynet would no longer need to rely on Gray's who seemed to be somewhat unreliable anyway.
"If that happens we're screwed." John said.
Ally joined John.
"That's what we're trying to prevent." Ally said.
John sometimes wondered if they were making enough progress. Cameron did a lot on her own to prevent Skynet from getting too far ahead of them. He understood her actions, even if he disapproved of the risks she took. It was still too big of burden for one individual. He really didn't know what would happen.
"Are we?" John asked. "Can we?"
Bob knew Judgment Day hadn't happened yet. They'd done enough to prevent that from happening.
"We have so far." Bob said.
John was ready to move on. They appeared to be done with this group.
"Clean up here." John said. "Take the van, Mel can drive it."
Sheila wanted to stay close to John. She figured where they were headed next.
"Ally and I are going to ride with you, John." Sheila said.
John smiled to himself.
"So you know where we're going then." John said.
Ally arched her back to make her breasts more prominent.
"To find a couple of Tight cyborgs that look like me." Ally said.
Sheila saw that as the 'cake' but she liked the 'icing'.
"Don't forget the smoking Hot redheaded beauty." Sheila added.
Ally and Sheila 'high fived' each other over that comment, Savannah was desired by all.
John figured they were luckier than he'd been with Savannah .
"Let's roll." John said.
He sure hoped Savannah was all right. He really wanted her virginity.
Cammy indicated someone was ahead of them. Savannah continued to check their surroundings. This could be Cameron or the hostile Terminator.
Savannah pointed in the distance. Cammy saw some movement closer to the compound. They both knew there were two 'contacts'. One was almost in front of them and one was in the distance. She didn't want to take any chances.
"Cat…" Savannah said.
"Cheese…." Was the reply that came back. It was Cameron.
Cameron appeared off to their side. It wasn't where they'd heard the noise. She joined up with them.
"The Terminator is headed back to the compound." Cameron said.
Savannah wondered what for.
"Do you think it's to get weapons?" Savannah asked.
Cammy was worried it could be something more sinister.
"Or he plans to do something." Cammy said. "We don't know what all they were up to inside that building."
Cameron figured it was something like that as well. Whatever it was, it wouldn't be anything good.
"That's what I think." Cameron said. "Let's go."
The three girls took off. Cameron led the trio. Savannah was in the middle and Cammy brought up the rear.
Cameron moved rapidly. She wanted to intercept the Terminate before he did anything. She hoped Gail would return if she saw they were in trouble.
She was aware there was at least one drone circling them always staying off to the side. She figured it was one of theirs trying to see and transmit what was happening. They'd needed to use that tactic more than once.
As they got closer there was gunfire.
There were four figures moving around the compound finishing off any survivors.
Cameron could see that Savannah was somewhat alarmed.
"Those are some of my Terminators." Cameron said.
Savannah thought that was good news.
"Then we have the enemy Terminator trapped between our forces." Savannah said.
Cammy lost track of where he went. She didn't want him to pop up in front of them.
"Where did he go?" Cammy asked.
Cameron was able to keep sight of him.
"He went over to where the APC was at." Cameron said.
They moved closer to the destroyed M113 that was inside the compound. It was near a shed of some kind. The APC was a total wreck. Much of it was melted.
Savannah didn't expect to see it in that type of condition.
"What happened to it?" Savannah asked. "It's melted."
Cameron was aware of what it was constructed of.
"It was mostly aluminum." Cameron said. "The armor is really only effective against small arms."
There was a half burnt skeleton sticking out of the melted metal.
"He's over there." Cammy said as she fired her M4.
"I see him." Savannah said.
Cameron stood and signaled her Terminators. They knew where they were at now.
Cammy scored some hits on the Terminator. He appeared to drop something.
"I hit him." Cammy said.
He disappeared inside of a small building.
"He went into that shed." Cameron said.
The trio of females moved forward.
There was a partial sheath covered metal arm on the ground.
"He's missing an arm now." Savannah said. "You must've blown it off."
Cameron signaled for Cammy and Savannah to fire into the shed on her command. The thin metal walls wouldn't even slow the Coltan rounds down.
Cameron moved around the shed to the side with the door.
Cammy and Savannah both fired on Cameron signal.
As soon as the last round was fired, Cameron kicked in the door….
Stalked
One starts out happy
With the ones that they choose
Time will only tell
If they will win or lose
Maybe everything runs smooth
At least for a short while
How long that will actually last
Depends on what they defile
One always wants more
At some point in time
That seems to be the catalyst
Of what feels like a crime
Why can't one be happy
With what's been created
Why have the ones that mated
Somehow turned into the hated
When it all falls apart
The other has balked
They acquire a deadly shadow
As they are now stalked
Nobody
