Chapter 692

Reclaim

Cameron wanted to free up Savannah and herself for a different operation. She decided to let John Henry know. Sheila and Ally were close to them and on an intercept course. She decided to use that in her favor.

"Sheila and Ally can take over shadowing the bobtail truck." Cameron said.

John didn't see a problem with that. He wondered what Cameron was up to instead. He wondered if she'd come across some other information and was going to act alone on it.

"That's fine." John said. "Where are you going, Cameron?"

Cameron knew where the first truck went. She knew what was in the second truck. Now she wanted to find out what was in the third truck. She thought she had a pretty good idea but she wanted to verify it. She didn't want to alarm those in the Command Center with her suspicions.

"I want to check out the big rig. We can pick Gail up. Al and Steve can go back to the old newspaper facility and back up Bob and Cam." Cameron said.

Jim wanted her to know that there were also two other Terminators on station now. He figured that she'd realize that he'd replaced John Henry.

"Dan and Frank are there as well." Jim said.

Cameron immediately wondered where John Henry was at. Something must've happened. She knew it wouldn't be anything good either.

"Where's John Henry?" Cameron asked. "What's wrong?"

Jim didn't think that there was a problem with the switch.

"He's examining Riley." Jim said.

That sounded like a problem to Cameron, a serious problem.

"Maybe I'll return to the base with Savannah." Cameron said.

John didn't want Cameron to get worked up about what was probably nothing. He'd rather have her out in the field than hovering over everyone around the base because of the current situation. He hoped to put her mind at ease.

"It's nothing, Cameron." John said. "I checked her out myself."

John immediately regretted his choice of words for his last statement.

Cameron was glad Savannah was driving. Her left hand began to glitch now. She felt extremely irritated. John's actions from the past not only haunted her, they irritated her and angered her. It seemed to be a source of confrontation that never went away. The next sentence just slipped out without her even really thinking about it.

"Is there anything different on this one?" Cameron asked curtly.

Cameron saw Savannah quickly look at her.

Savannah was a little surprised at Cameron's response. When she glanced at her she noticed that Cameron's hand started to glitch. She reached over and took it. She smiled at Cameron as the glitch stopped.

John was highly irritated by Cameron's response.

"Stick with the big rig." John said as he cut the connection.

Savannah recognized a problem when she heard it.

"I think you hit a nerve." Savannah said.

She still held Cameron's left hand in hers.

Cameron hoped that her eyes hadn't started to glow red. She tried to retain her composure. She didn't want to have a problem in front of Savannah.

"No. He did." Cameron said.

Cameron didn't like what Dead Riley stole from John and her. She was glad the Bitch was dead. She'd stolen John's virginity from her. She was supposed to be John's first sexual experience, not some trashy slut from the future. That was one of her mission parameters that she would never be able fulfill. She felt another glitch impulse.

Savannah felt a strong glitch impulse from Cameron. She didn't want Cameron to go to a dark place right now. She thought Cameron should remember where she was at and who she was with. That should be all that mattered right now.

"I'm the one here with you." Savannah said. "Not him."

Savannah gave Cameron's hand a tender and loving squeeze.

Cameron decided when this operation was concluded that she would take Savannah back to the pier and pick up at the point where they were interrupted….

She knew it was what they both wanted.

Cameron wondered what exactly would happen. For her, she could literally restart exactly where they'd left off in her mind. Everything that happened between that point she could block out and create a continuous file as if nothing happened to disrupt their special moment and what should have been their first mutual kiss, a real kiss. It was a kiss of love. She wanted that kiss. John was her first male. Savannah would be her first female. If things didn't progress with Savannah as she thought that they would. Maybe Young Allison would be the one who took 'cuts' in front of Savannah and would be her first female. She knew that it didn't really matter because they were both part of the 'Natural Order'. The 'Natural Order' was unchangeable.

Sarah and Claire headed down into the bunker.

Claire didn't like that her daughter spent so much time down there. It seemed like a dark place and that was more than just the illumination.

Sarah wanted to see what the backup Command Center looked like.

They watched Young Allison and Anna go over all the details of the operation, as Anna quizzed Young Allison on several different academic subjects at the same time.

Sarah was actually astounded at Young Allison's ability to do two things at once as if she really did nothing at all. It was quite obvious that Young Allison was extremely intelligent and gifted. She didn't know yet that Summer was actually the most gifted of them all. Nobody did….

"She's remarkable." Sarah said. "I don't know a quarter of that stuff."

Claire wasn't even sure she knew that much. Her abilities we're focused and centered elsewhere.

"I don't either." Claire said. "I've taught her music and dance. Cameron has helped with the dance lessons and routines also."

Sarah thought back when Young Allison first greeted them when they'd arrived. When they'd spoken, she felt like she was speaking to Cameron. She also realized that Young Allison looked exactly like Cameron but younger. She was aware that her son wanted to take advantage of that youth. She was pretty sure that that was the main reason why he wanted to be with Young Allison. She figured he wanted her virginity more than he cared about the 'Natural Order'. She knew it was wrong but as she looked at Young Allison she really couldn't blame him for that desire. She was very alluring. She thought she needed to phrase her statement so it wouldn't offend Claire.

"She'll look just like Allison when she is older." Sarah said. "She's so pretty."

Claire looked at Sarah for a moment and smiled to herself. She knew what Sarah really wanted to say. She decided to say it herself since it was actually true.

"No. She'll look just like Cameron – Tight." Claire said. "I've heard Cameron tell her, John likes her to look – Tight. Cameron works with her to get the look perfect."

Sarah thought that Young Allison already looked like Cameron and she did look Tight.

"I'm sure she will look Tight." Sarah said.

Sarah knew Young Allison's appearance wouldn't be the only thing that was tight with that youthful body.

They heard the other girls return.

They went back up and greeted everyone.

Sarah did pause and take one last look at Young Allison. She knew that if Young Allison 'came after' anyone, that they wouldn't be able to refuse her. Nobody would.

Cammy and Allison just 'finished'.

It was a thrill for both of them to be with 'themself'.

Cammy especially liked to be with Allison so that she could learn to emulate her responses and sounds as accurately as possible. She was her own 'person' but she also liked to be able to be like the person she 'looked like'.

Cammy fastened her bra and Allison slipped her top back on as they heard the others return.

Allison flashed Cammy a playful smile. She was very pleased with their experience.

"That was close." Allison said.

Cammy didn't see it as a big deal. There was plenty of sex at the Resistance base for anyone who wanted it and as often as they want it.

"Holly and Hanna will know." Cammy said.

Allison felt very satisfied right now.

"I don't care." Allison said. "It's what I wanted."

Cammy was aware that when she'd 'pleased' Allison, she said 'Cameron' in those moments, just like Savannah often did.

"You did care about what just happened." Cammy said.

Allison took a quick look around. She was ready for a little more.

"I did. I do." Allison said. "I want a 'three way' with Savannah and you."

Cammy wanted to up the ante some.

"Make it a 'four way' with Holly and we're good." Cammy said.

Cammy, in Ginger's chassis, shared with Holly in Cameron's future. The best times were when Future Allison and Savannah shared with them. A 'four way' would be almost The identical thing except it would be Allison instead of Future Allison.

Allison didn't think that that a 'four way' would be a problem.

"Holly spends a lot of time with Cam when I'm with Vanna." Allison said.

Cammy wanted to make it clear that even though she was identical to Cam, she was still her own person.

"I'm not - Cam." Cammy said. "I have desires too."

Allison wondered if maybe she'd offended Cammy. It was time to switch the subject.

"Have you and Cam ever 'switched'?" Allison asked.

A giant smile blossomed on Cammy's face.

"Yes." Cammy said. "We try to fool them. Savannah always knows when we do but Vanna never does. We do it a couple of times a week. We tell her afterwards."

Allison wondered if maybe Cameron switched with either one of them to be with Vanna, Savannah or even Jesse and her.

"Have you ever switched with Cameron?" Allison asked.

Cammy felt a little frustration with Allison's question. It seemed that Cameron was hindered by a lot of 'hang ups' that the other Metal girls didn't have.

"I've offered." Cammy said. "So has Cam."

Allison thought about her many sexual adventures, the ones with females.

"She doesn't know what she's missing." Allison said.

Cammy was aware that her existence was unnecessary as was Cam's. Cameron only created them to do her bidding because she didn't have the courage to do it herself. It was very perplexing.

"No, she doesn't." Cammy said. "I make the offer at least once a week. So does Cam. We 'owe' it to her since we run her program. Cam and I are doing what Cameron WANTS to do."

The two girls shared a deep kiss.

There was a knock at the door and Holly entered.

"I just scanned Allison and she's the same as when I got here." Cammy said.

Holly reached over to scan Allison herself. She'd wanted to do that for some time and felt the compulsion to do it anyway, even if Cammy just had.

Allison backed away a little.

"Wait a little bit. She just did it." Allison said.

Allison knew Holly would pick up her recent sexual arousal and elevated readings. She was sure her heartbeat was a little fast still.

Cammy excused herself to go check on Jan and Summer.

Allison looked at Holly and knew that she knew. She wanted to offer an explanation.

"I won't be here much longer." Allison said.

Holly was aware that love was about sacrifice. She would make sure Allison was able to obtain all the things that she desired.

"I didn't say anything." Holly said. "I'll switch with Hanna tonight."

It always bothered her a little bit when someone else was with her mother. She didn't know why it should. Her mother was a person too. It was clear that her mother wanted the same things that she did; besides they were almost the same age.

"That's fine." Allison said. "Just don't tell me any details."

Holly tried to lighten the mood some.

"Claire likes to hear them." Holly said with a straight face.

Allison looked at her quickly and Holly laughed.

Allison tossed a pillow at her.

Holly decided to reclaim what was 'hers'.

She closed the door. When she turned around, Allison already started to take her top off.

Holly liked the variety and different responses in the human females. Claire was a very passionate lover. She was happy to switch with Hanna anytime. Allison would work fine now to get her warmed up for the dessert tonight with Claire. She would need to keep that information to herself. Well maybe not. She might tell Claire. That usually produced an even more rewarding response and an even better finish. Claire always outperformed Allison.

Cameron and Savannah pulled up behind Al and Steve.

Gail got out and headed back to Cameron's SUV.

Savannah and Cameron moved into the back seat and Gail drove.

Al and Steve headed to the newspaper facility.

Gail was very pleased to be back with Savannah. She looked back at Cameron and Savannah and smiled.

"Where would you like to go?" Gail asked.

Cameron wanted to stick with the big truck Gail already tagged. That still kept all of them in the same loop that way. She was sure that the big rig contained something of importance in it.

"Stay with the big rig but not too close." Cameron said. "You have him tagged. Jim will keep you updated."

Gail picked up that something was off right away. It sounded like there was some type of trouble at the base.

"Where's John Henry?" Gail asked. "What went wrong?"

Savannah wanted Gail to know what was happening and that there was nothing for her to worry about.

"He's checking Riley out." Savannah said. "Jesse and Vanna are there with her, Kyle and Derek are too."

Gail saw an opportunity to be alone with Savannah for an extended period of time. She could accomplish that if Cameron would return to the base. She looked back at Cameron.

"Do you wish to return to the base, Cameron?" Gail asked. "I can continue the operation with Savannah."

Cameron did want to go back. Based on all the information so far, it didn't sound that serious for Riley. She didn't think it would be a problem. If it would've been a premature birth or worse, a miscarriage, she would've gone back immediately.

"No. I want some answers first about this operation." Cameron said.

Gail thought about her observations of the big rig when she tagged it.

"The truck rides like it has a heavy load." Gail said.

Savannah wondered exactly where Gail had been on the big rig.

"Were you underneath it?" Savannah asked.

Gail didn't think it was a big deal. She'd only emulated Cameron's past actions.

"Yes." Gail said. "I did as Cameron did before."

Cameron hoped to enter the back of the truck as she did with the one that she boarded earlier.

"If we get away from traffic, I want to look inside of it." Cameron said. "I want to know what we have."

Gail started to increase her speed. She was ready to act.

"We can take the truck now if you want." Gail said. "I'll commandeer it."

Savannah didn't want either Cameron or Gail to jump the gun. They were after a bigger goal.

"Not yet." Savannah said. "We want to see where it goes. There may be more things we can take for ourselves. If not, we need to destroy them."

Cameron knew she needed to restrain herself. It was hard for her to do when the target was right in front of her.

"It's all a waiting game." Cameron said.

Savannah squeezed Cameron's hand and whispered.

"It doesn't have to be…."

Savannah was aware that every time she went to release Cameron's hand, it started to glitch again. She knew Cameron was deeply troubled by everything that was happening.

Riley enjoyed the 'ride' to the infirmary in Derek's arms. She could tell the long walk carrying her got to him a little.

Derek deposited Riley in the infirmary. He was a lot more tired than he'd anticipated.

"Next time I'll let John Henry carry you." Derek said.

Derek's face was a little red and he sounded winded.

"I'm sorry. I'm getting - fatter." Riley said.

Derek didn't see it that way at all.

"No, you're helping our baby grow." Derek said.

Vanna was able to get everything ready with Kyle's help. She looked around after Derek and Riley arrived.

"Where's John Henry?" Vanna asked.

Derek tried to suppress the snicker.

"Jesse was trying to seduce him." Derek said.

"What?" Vanna asked.

"Relax, love." Jesse said as she entered the infirmary with John Henry behind her. "I was just fooling about. He didn't even cop a feel, maybe he will next time."

Jesse looked back at John Henry and winked. She was serious too. She often wondered what a Metal male would be like. They wouldn't have to stop or slow until they got her there 'that way'. Only a few of the males she'd been with we're actually able to do that. Most of them finished too soon.

"Let's get started." John Henry said.

Vanna figured she could act as an assistant. She knew she wasn't qualified to act as a nurse.

"I'll assist you." Vanna said.

John Henry wanted Jesse to learn everything as well. Since this didn't seem to be too serious of an issue. It could be more of a training session.

"I want both you and Jesse to do so." John Henry said. "I'll instruct you as we proceed."

The girls and John Henry all scrubbed up.

John Henry plugged in. Every medical procedure and documented operation was now at his fingertips, literally.

"The first order of the day is - bedside manner." John Henry said.

Jesse looked over at Vanna and lightly nudged her with her elbow.

"I think it was her 'bedside manner' that got her here." Jesse joked.

As Vanna looked at a very pregnant Riley, she felt a sense of grief and loss. She hoped when she and Allison went to Cameron's future, that Future Savannah would share 'her baby' with her too. That baby was from her body as well, even if it was from Savannah's body. They were all Savannah anyway. She secretly hoped that Future Savannah would return to the past with Future Allison. That would leave her baby for her. Joy could become her daughter. Both Allison and she would have children at that point. The bonus to all that was it they would be able to share with Duplicate Cameron. She wasn't too keen on the other duties that she would have to perform with Future John but she would do them. She may not like it but she knew how to please a man. She needed to learn to do that or die.

Cam gave her report.

"I've placed several listening devices where I could get them in a worthwhile spot." Cam said.

"Is there any sign of the Grays trying to use the flood control channel as an escape route or in any way for any other purpose?" John asked.

"There was none that I could detect." Cam said. "I'm going to go dark again when I move away from this opening. I'll search for any incursions into the drainage system. Most of the inlets are far too small for any human."

Bob wanted to keep track of her in case he needed to go in after her.

"What's your next projected location?" Bob asked.

There was one other area Cam wanted to check. It was away from all the activity.

"I saw a branch come in from the side the boxcars are on." Cam said. "I'll try to go that way. It may be too small."

Bob knew that meant the east side.

"Don't' get stuck or lost." John said.

Cam tilted her head slightly with what John said.

"I'll do neither." Cam said. "I'm moving now."

Sheila and Ally followed the box truck.

Ally didn't want to get stuck with another boring assignment.

"I hope this proves more fruitful than the last one did." Ally said.

Sheila believed that it would be based upon what was in the truck.

"This one has Coltan on board." Sheila said.

Ally didn't see what the point was in fooling around. They were Terminators, they should just act.

"We should just take it and go." Ally said.

Sheila was aware there was a bigger prize to be had. There would also most likely be more Grays associated with it. She'd like to get her hands on a few of them. She reached down and touched her knife in anticipation of a few interrogations.

"We need to see where they're fabricating the parts they make from it." Sheila said.

Ally felt she was trapped for now.

"I guess I should enjoy the ride." Ally said.

Sheila felt somewhat sexually stimulated by the thought of interrogating some Grays and using her knife. She figured she might as well give Ally some stimulation as well.

"For now you can." Sheila said. "You can also enjoy the view."

Sheila adjusted her body and rewarded Ally with a view of one exposed breast and nipple ring.

"Save that until later." Ally said. "I don't want us to have an accident or get made by the truck."

"I'll hold you to that, love." Sheila said.

Ally reached over and straightened the nipple ring and tucked the breast back inside Sheila's top.

They both smiled at each other.

Even though neither one of them would ever admit it, they were hopelessly in love with each other.

Al and Steve arrived at the newspaper facility. They were part of a force to help back up the current developing operation. Dan and Frank were already there. They wanted to get 'caught up' on what was happening.

"What do we have?" Al asked.

"Nothing…." Dan said.

"Listen." Steve said.

They could all hear the sound of one of the new quiet HK drone engines being tested.

"That's really quiet." Dan said. "This is probably an assembly facility."

"Do they ship the finished product out in boxcars or trucks?" Al asked.

"I bet they do both." Frank said.

"There is another box truck leaving." Steve said. "That's the last truck here."

Dan hoped it would provide them with more targets.

"We'll follow it." Dan said. "You two remain here."

"Affirmative…." Al and Steve both said at the same time.

Dan and Frank took off after it.

Reclaim

It seems simple enough
For one to defame
'Maybe that makes it easier
For them to later disclaim

They like to point the finger
Pick someone else to blame
They really don't seem to care
Who along the way they maim

They often see most happy
When an incident they can inflame
They never consider the damage
Or the lasting shame

Most things in life aren't orderly
As if they were on a mainframe
Everyone must dance the dance
As they play life's cruel game

So get back up and take aim
Remember from where you came
Tomorrow doesn't need to be the same
As pride, honor and self respect you reclaim

Nobody
