Chapter 739

Did They

Cameron closed up on the two armed men. She didn't know what was going on or what this was about. All she knew was the men were Grays. Maybe they were going to the wrong room. Maybe there was more at play here than they knew. This was the closest motel to the power plant. There was a good chance this was all related to that. Maybe they tipped someone off at the surf shop and they were after them. This looked like a 'clean up' crew.

She moved behind the two men. They still advanced on the room that was two doors over from their room. Ally was with her now. They acted like two happy sisters playing around. They laughed and giggled a little. They wanted to get close to the men but they didn't want to seem like a threat. They men didn't feel threatened by them.

The two Grays looked around. They noticed the two 'sisters' in bikinis moving toward another room. They heard the girls laugh and listened to them talk about clothes. The men took out a card key and put it in the door. They both readied their weapons and went inside. They tried to keep them hidden from the two girls. They went to close the door behind them once they'd entered the room.

Cameron and Ally watched the men enter the room with drawn weapons. They made their move before the door closed all the way,

Cameron was on it. She shoved it open and went inside.

Ally was right behind her. Ally glanced back and saw Bob moving up to reinforce them.

Cameron grabbed the two men and threw them to opposite sides of the room with a loud thud. Their weapons fell to the floor as they impacted forcefully into the walls. There was a couple on the bed. The female was on top of the male and seemed to be in control. It also seemed to be that she enjoyed what she did. It was clear she was skilled at it. The action stopped as the two on the bed looked over in disbelief. The female stopped moving but was still on the man. She could see that the couple was still 'connected'.

Cameron and Ally each grabbed one of the men and made sure they were out. They would try to question them if no shots were fired. Ally moved to the window in the back. She knew there were two armed men waiting there. They may have been alerted by the crashing of the two bodies into the walls. They still didn't know what direction things were headed yet. They didn't know if there was a reserve force or who else was involved in whatever this was.

Sheila was almost up to the two men in the back. She looked up with a startled expression on her face as her top dropped off to her side. She now held it in her left hand by her side. Both men seemed transfixed at seeing her near naked form and her nipple rings. That was where their vision was now concentrated. She'd learned a long time ago that it was impossible for anyone not to look at her exposed breasts with the nipple rings. It didn't matter if they were male or female. They all looked.

There was a loud thud on the inside of the wall next to them. The men both turned back in that direction. They raised their weapons. It was what was inside of the room that they were here for. Now they'd been distracted.

Sheila was able to move close enough to be in Taser range. She wanted to bring them down now.

"Nothing's for free, fellas." Sheila said. "Everything has a price."

Sheila fired her Taser twice and both men went down.

"There are two down in the back." Sheila said. "Both of the targets in the alley have been neutralized and Tasered."

Ally appeared at the back window. She slid it open and popped the screen off. Sheila tossed both men inside along with their weapons, she climbed up inside after them. She put the screen on and closed the window. She then closed the drape. She put her top back on.

She noted the two naked people who coward on the bed. She could see that the couple was still 'connected' with the female on top.

"Did I get here too late?" Sheila asked as she looked at them.

Sheila saw the female was young and beautiful as she 'eye balled' her.

"Maybe I got here just in time." Sheila said as she winked at the female.

That seemed to make her cower even more.

It was at this point where the male and female were away from each other. It was clear that the male's excitement was replaced with fear.

Bob arrived at the door and Cameron let him in.

"Find out what is going on here. I want some answers." Cameron said and left.

Cameron was worried about the nature and scope of this attack. She realized if the Grays would have arrived two rooms over that it would be John and Savannah that were on the bed. She briefly wondered if Savannah would have tried to be on the top for their 'first time'. She knew that she needed to refocus and stay with what was happening. The only trouble so far was that they had no idea what was happening.

Seconds ago:

Savannah still kept watch with what happened outside the motel room from her vantage point in the corner of the window. She watched the two men enter the room with Cameron and Ally right behind them. There was a little vibration and 'thud' sound that followed Cameron and Ally's entry into the room. Bob arrived a few seconds later. A few seconds after that, Cameron exited the room and headed towards where they were.

"Cameron's coming." Savannah said.

She still held her Glock and Taser at the ready.

John was ready too. He was down on the floor behind the bed for whatever cover it would provide if necessary.

Savannah opened the door a few inches and went in back of it off to the side. Her motivation was to allow someone to walk inside and not think about what would happen if they needed to force the door open.

Cameron entered the room. She spotted John armed across the room.

"Where's Savannah?" Cameron asked.

Savannah was ready for any threat.

"I'm right here behind you." Savannah said.

Cameron spun around. She spotted a Glock and Taser pointed at her. She quickly deduced if she'd been a hostile threat that Savannah would have brought her down from behind without her even knowing what happened. She wanted to verify that there were no problems.

"Are you both OK?" Cameron asked.

Savannah decided to play out the scenario John and her wanted to present. She chose her words carefully.

"We'd just finished when the trouble started." Savannah said.

They both watched Cameron's left hand for any glitch, there was none.

Cameron understood what Savannah meant. It appeared that the deed was done and it actually happened this time. She quickly calculated the time John and Savannah would have had to have been together. It wasn't long at all. She figured John didn't last more than thirty seconds as he claimed Savannah's virginity. She also knew that Savannah would have been left unfulfilled by the brief sexual encounter. Thirty seconds wasn't enough to do anything for her. She needed to keep her focus about the operation that unfolded and sprung up around them.

Savannah wanted to make sure Cameron knew they were ready to move out.

"We're ready to leave." Savannah said. "All our clothes and gear are in the sheet."

John and Savannah moved up to Cameron.

Cameron reached out for both of them in a quick motion.

It caught both of them by surprise.

They both started to back up but neither raised their weapons. Cameron wasn't the enemy. Whatever was going to happen, was going to happen.

Cameron could see that she startled both of them a little. That wasn't her intent. It was just her reaction to show them that she believed what she was about to tell them. It was time for all of them to move their lives forward. It was time for the 'Natural Order' to happen. She now planned to introduce Young Allison into the mix as soon as possible. Young Allison's age was irrelevant to her. It only mattered to her that Young Allison was at Savannah's side and both of them were there to protect John from the anti-Metal faction.

"Come here, please." Cameron said. "It was what I wanted for all of us."

Cameron hugged both of them.

"Thank you." Cameron whispered to them. "This is OUR family now."

Cameron saw this as an opportunity to be able to get 'closer' to Savannah. That's what she wanted. She figured John could have the leftovers.

John and Savannah looked at each other. It appeared Cameron bought into the false narrative about what actually happened. It was a way for them to see how she would take the actual event when it really did occur. It was much better than either one of them anticipated.

Cammy was still at the corner of the motel next to the alley and the street that ran alongside it. So far no new threats had been identified.

"There is nothing else happening in the back." Cammy said.

She checked the wall she'd smashed her fist through. A bush covered it from the outside. She heard some new sounds and looked down the street from the side away from the beach. She didn't like what she saw.

"Wait." Cammy said. "I see a slow moving SUV approaching."

Cammy started to walk like she was out for a stroll. She's zoomed in on the occupant of the vehicle to see what they were doing. He held a cell phone. By their actions and where the SUV stopped, it was clear they were part of the enemy crew.

"I only see one Gray inside of the SUV. They're trying to use a phone and they don't look very happy." Cammy said. "They've stopped at the alley and are looking down it."

Cammy crossed the street and headed back toward the motel and the SUV.

The SUV started to move again but slammed on its brakes as a bikini clad figure stepped out in front of the SUV. The driver was literally inches away from having run into the scantily clad figure that now stood in front of them. The driver blared on the horn at her. It was Cameron.

Cameron smiled at him but remained where she was at in front of the SUV. She smiled again and pointed at the motel. The driver looked that way to see what she pointed at. He figured it must be something important. When he turned back, Cammy's fist waited for his face. She made contact and he went down. The SUV started to move forward as his dead foot slipped off of the brake. Cameron reached out and held the SUV in place while Cammy climbed in. She moved it away and parked it. It was clear the driver died instantly.

"We have a second vehicle and the driver's been neutralized." Cameron said.

Cameron left as the SUV was parked by Cammy. She returned with a wadded up blanket from the room. She tossed it to Cammy and started to walk away.

Cammy wanted to know what happened. It wasn't about the Grays either.

"Did they?" Cammy asked.

Cameron didn't say anything at first.

"It's the 'Natural Order'." Cameron said without looking at her.

Cammy wanted a better answer than that. That answer wasn't good enough.

"Did they?" Cammy asked again.

Cameron paused for a second and looked directly at Cammy.

"YES." Cameron said. "It's done. It happened."

Cameron walked away without turning back.

Cammy looked at Cameron's figure as she departed. It was clear her days were numbered. Right now she was there to do a job and protect Savannah and John. Whatever happened, happened. She quickly covered the dead man with the blanket after going through his pockets and then the SUV.

She heard a second car approach. It was Gail driving a sedan. Cammy and Gail both searched the car and the dead man. They covered him over with the towel again.

Gail looked at the SUV and sedan.

"I can stay here if you want to check on Savannah." Gail said.

Cammy didn't want to see Savannah right now.

"I'll remain here." Cammy said.

Gail tilted her head slightly to the side for a moment as she contemplated Cammy's decision and what was probably behind it. She left and returned to the room with John and Savannah. Cameron was there as well.

Cameron expected Cammy to have arrived at the room instead of Gail. That was OK too, Gail could do the same job that Cammy could to protect them.

"Stay with them." Cameron said and left again.

Gail could tell Cameron was agitated. She looked at Savannah and John but neither of them said anything. It was her assumption that they'd 'done it' as well. She wasn't happy with the thought of Savannah being 'soiled' by John, even if it was what they both wanted. It wasn't what she wanted. She couldn't help but think of some of the stories that Jesse told her about things that were done to her, either by force or under the threat of death with a weapon held to her head or throat.

John was in contact with John Henry. He wanted to go over everything that they knew so far.

Savannah kept watch as well. She noticed that Gail looked at the bed a lot. She could tell that she was uneasy. She moved over to Gail and when John wasn't looking, she gave Gail's hand a gentle squeeze. They both looked at each other.

Savannah knew Gail wanted to ask her. Savannah looked over, John's back was to them now as he went over details with John Henry.

"It wasn't what I expected." Savannah whispered. "I'd rather not talk about it."

Gail nodded and resumed her watch. She wasn't sure if she should feel happy that Savannah appeared not to have liked the encounter. Maybe Savannah wouldn't repeat the action, maybe she would try again for a better result. She knew that males were unable to satisfy the female fifty percent of the time. Their duration was very short and they were unable to experience multiple finishes like the females could.

She knew she couldn't think of this now. She needed to make sure Savannah was protected. Oh, and John too. She resumed her watch. She would use her chassis to shield Savannah if the need arose. She could still only think about what Jesse told her once her innocence was forcibly taken from her that a lot of things happened after that. Jesse told her at that point a lot of things didn't matter anymore. Jesse told her that every assault after that only made her feel worse and worse about herself and value herself less and less. The early encounters only fueled her fury later on when she was in a position to extract revenge on both males and females for what happened to her growing up. She'd purposely hurt both males and females. Jesse told her that the 'hole in her heart' didn't get smaller every time she did that. It only got bigger. It didn't make her feel any better though.

Cameron left Gail with Savannah and John. She knew Savannah would be protected by Gail and Savannah would protect John.

She returned to the room the Grays tried to hit. She needed to find out what exactly was going on. She was pretty sure that it wasn't over with yet.

Ally kept watch out the front window. Bob tied up the Grays. Whenever one regained consciousness, Bob choked him out. They didn't want them to talk among themselves or call for help.

Sheila took the female into the bathroom for questioning.

Cameron quickly took stock of the situation. It appeared that only the man on the bed so far had been questioned. He appeared to be the victim in all of this. That still needed to be determined. He could very well be complicit in whatever was going on here.

"What's this about?" Cameron asked.

Bob didn't care for the nude man on the bed. He seemed weak and untrustworthy.

"This man on the bed says he works at the power plant and was in town when he met the female who brought him here. She's a Gray and acquires targets in this 'capacity'." Bob said. "She uses the attributes and comforts her body to get close to the target."

Cameron knew that was an effective strategy.

She turned her attention back to the man on the bed.

"What's your job at the power plant?" Cameron asked.

The nude man looked very frightened. He wasn't sure what he'd gotten caught up in. He said he was only in the room because the female enticed him to be there.

"I oversee the property. I'm the property manager." The man said. "I control what parts get leased out. I'm not a big shot. This is what I know…."

The man answered all Cameron's questions.

Cameron removed her hand from his neck after questioning him for ten minutes.

She choked him out.

"He's lying." Cameron said.

She wanted some information from the Grays as well.

"Keep him out and make one of the Grays talk." Cameron said. "Do what you have to do."

Bob nodded.

"Affirmative…." Bob said.

Cameron went to check on the female. She could tell that Sheila was about to do something unconventional.

The female was tied and gagged in the bathtub. She was still naked.

"What's happening here?" Cameron asked. "Why is she gagged?"

There was a look of excitement on Sheila's face as she looked at the bound and nude figure.

"I was going to interrogate her" Sheila said. "I wanted to do it away from the male."

Cameron didn't condone Sheila's techniques but often looked the other way when they were enacted on sex traffickers. She felt somehow it was just punishment for their crimes against females.

"Is she a Gray?" Cameron asked. "Bob says she is."

Sheila's look of excitement turned into one of contempt for the female.

"She knows what they are and works with them…." Sheila said. "She's a Gray and a collaborator if nothing else. She clearly assists them in their endeavors, even if her main goal is monetary. "

Cameron was angered by how close all of this came to John and Savannah. She wanted answers and didn't care where they came from or how they were derived. Someone was responsible for this and they needed to pay a price.

"Get some answers." Cameron said. "She's the enemy. These people are a threat to John and Savannah."

She remembered some of the things that Savannah spoke with her about. One of them was not to take pleasure in what she was about to do. She wanted to make sure Cameron would approve whatever she was about to do.

"Can I do anything to her?" Sheila asked.

Cameron looked at the nude female in the bathtub one more time. She knew that she was about to die a gruesome death at the hands of Sheila.

"Find out what you can." Cameron said. "Finish it when you're done. I don't care how."

Sheila figured Cameron was upset about John and Savannah 'mating'. Normally Cameron wouldn't approve of her methods, let alone encourage them.

Sheila smiled.

"Can we do this the easy way?" Sheila asked.

The female shook her head back and forth.

"That's what I figured." Sheila said with a smile.

Cameron went out of the bathroom, there was a dull thud.

Cameron went back into the room with the bed.

She saw a Gray look at Ally. He hadn't seen her yet.

"You're that 'Metal Bitch'." The Gray said.

Two of the Grays were already dead. It was clear that they'd run afoul with Bob.

"They didn't want to talk. Now they can't." Bob said. "This one is more talkative but mouthy."

His eyes widened as he saw Cameron.

Cameron smiled to herself.

"No, I'm the 'Metal Bitch' you've heard about." Cameron said.

There was another muffled scream from the bathroom.

Cameron looked over at the bathroom door and then back at the Gray.

"Your female friend is being worked over." Cameron said. "You're next."

The Gray looked at Cameron with contempt.

"You don't scare me." The Gray said.

She could see that attempting to question him was going to be a waste of time. He could be more useful in another way. She picked up a pillow and approached him.

Cameron saw last Gray was about to wake up. As he watched, she reached down and broke the jaw of the mouthy man. It hung down at a forty five degree angle. The man still attempted to talk or move so the angle jaw moved up and down with his agony. She held a pillow over his face to muffle the screams, they didn't last long.

Cameron looked at the awakened Gray.

"You lie, you die. You mouth off, you die. You insult anyone, you die." Cameron said. "Tell us what we want to know…."

There was another muffled scream from the bathroom.

The Gray looked over that way then back at Cameron.

He saw her eyes now glowed red.

He looked over towards the bathroom every time there was another muted scream.

The Gray talked and talked.

I Might Some Day

Why are we supposed to forgive
If we can never forget
Because of what YOU did
I'm supposed to acquit

So for what has been done
Shouldn't you be the one to atone
I was the one, who away was thrown
Maybe you should be all alone

How fast the eyes turn blind
The brain seems to switch off
When confronted with reality
You scoff and try to laugh it off

Let's reverse the rolls
How would YOU feel
Do you think your heart and mind
Would ever mend and heal

You want mercy from the heart
Of the one you so easily betray
I doubt it, but I'll think about it
I might some day

Nobody
