Chapter 842

I Hate Her

Earlier:

Savannah and Cameron were in the Cessna. They planned to follow the railroad tracks into Las Vegas. It was a time honored tradition in navigation. The railroad tracks always led somewhere. In this case they knew exactly where.

Savannah thought about using the autopilot so she could get a little 'closer' to Cameron. She determined it was too risky and she should remain in control. She was the pilot and she was responsible for her passengers. Safety always needed to come first.

She was reminded of the time she turned over control of the UH-1 to Cameron and a 'problem' developed with Cameron while she was talking to Allison in the back of the helicopter. She needed to take control very quickly when she wasn't ready and didn't have her night vision on. It was a close one. She didn't even want to think about the other time when the Metal girls ended up in what looked like a circus stunt. She had her hands full on that one.

"I better not chance it with autopilot." Savannah said. "I want to remain alert and stay in control."

Cameron felt a little disappointed but knew Savannah was correct.

'I'll always let you….' Cameron thought.

Cameron received information on her phone and from CamNet through her com.

Savannah could see Cameron started to become agitated. Cameron's behavior put her at a heightened alert level.

"What's wrong?" Savannah asked. "Is there a problem? Is Young Allison alright?"

Cameron quickly collected herself. She didn't want to cause Savannah any unnecessary strife.

"Young Allison is fine. She's back at home. It's John. He just won't listen to me. He's on his way to meet us in Las Vegas. He's with John Henry. They're going to come in the company jet." Cameron said. "He's going to ruin everything…."

Savannah wasn't sure what Cameron meant but she understood the implication. She also was aware that John's presence would bleed off any additional assistance that they would have received once they were in Las Vegas. She understood that the General needed to be protected. Cameron and her would need to face more risk now.

"Why?" Savannah asked. "Have you called in additional security for him?"

Cameron needed to dispatch her Terminators to fill in for the Resistance Terminators that would be needed back up John. She needed to make sure that everything what's covered and security was maintained elsewhere.

"Of course I have." Cameron said. "Everyone will be directed to protect him."

Savannah was aware that the company jet was four times faster than their aircraft.

"We will be there before he is but not by much." Savannah said.

Cameron already did the math and figured they would have arrived around the same time. She wanted to get the Metal girls on the plane with him so she'd needed to come up with a creative solution to tie him up until they could arrive. The solution compromised her plans for a surprise with John later on. She sometimes wondered if John had a learning disability.

"I've managed to delay his departure by fifteen minutes." Cameron said. "That will allow Cammy, Sheila and Ally time to get to the airport to assist him. They were conducting an operation and I asked them to cut it short. They're on the way to intercept him, which hopefully will chew up some more time. I think I'll delay his flight too."

Savanna wondered if her new 'watchdog' would come along. She really needed to make Gail understand that she didn't need special protection. The time that Gail spent protecting her was time taken away from Jesse. She didn't want to be responsible for that. Jesse needed all the alone time she could get with another female. It seemed to keep her past at bay.

"Is Gail coming?" Savannah asked.

John's new activity disrupted plans that Cameron already put into effect. She'd needed to modify what she wanted done and how it would be done. Cam would need to assume a bigger role. Since Cam ran an older version of her program, she didn't think any obstacle would be too great.

"Yes." Cameron said. "I was going to use her on a 'special assignment'. She'd already started it when this happened. I called for her assistance and help earlier. Cam will have to double up for her. I don't think it will be a problem for her."

Savannah wanted to ask Cameron what she was talking about but Cameron seemed upset enough already. She thought maybe Cam would be with both Jesse and Vanna. She didn't think that would be a problem for any of them unless Cameron meant something else. She didn't want to push the issue and cause Cameron to become more agitated.

She was pretty sure what Cameron hinted at between them. She hoped for some further confirmation. She felt Cameron needed to take the lead for 'anything' to happen. Maybe she would just ask. She was worried that if she actually asked Cameron that she would feel obligated at that point. No. Cameron needed to act on her own first. She could hint as well as prompt. She just couldn't do it on her own at first. Cameron was the key.

"What did you want to do in Las Vegas?" Savannah asked. "I mean besides follow up on the boxcars."

A thought immediately popped into Cameron's mind.

'Ask you to be my wife….' Cameron thought.

Cameron wanted to say it out loud but didn't.

"It doesn't matter now." Cameron said.

'John's ruined everything.' Cameron thought.

Savannah continued to eye Cameron's naked form as she flew.

"Are you going to get dressed?" Savannah asked.

'As soon as you 'touch' me….' Cameron thought.

Cameron wanted to say it out loud but didn't.

"I guess I better." Cameron said. "Some people are hung up on nudity. I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone has a body."

'PLEASE 'touch me'….' Cameron thought.

Cameron wanted to say it out loud but didn't.

Cameron started to get up to reach into the back to get her things.

Savannah saw an opportunity she didn't want to get away from her. She also thought it would reaffirm her desires for Cameron as well.

"Wait." Savannah said. "You have several spots of grease on you. Let me wipe them off real quick."

Savannah reached back and picked up Cameron's dirty shirt and wiped the spots off.

Cameron felt a rush of excitement as Savannah touched her. She wanted more.

"Are there any other spots?" Cameron asked.

Cameron leaned over Savannah. She was still naked.

Savannah touched a few other spots with her hand.

Cameron bumped into Savannah as she reached into the back. Her breasts touched Savannah's face as she moved.

"Oops!" Cameron said. "Sorry."

Savannah knew Cameron was really 'knocking' on her door. She wanted to knock right back.

"I'll catch the rest when we clean up…." Savannah said. "I'll be better able to clean them off with some soap."

Cameron understood that to mean that they would take a shower together. The prospect of that thrilled her greatly.

"Is that a promise?" Cameron asked.

Savannah looked into Cameron's big brown puppy dog eyes.

"Yes." Savannah said. "It's a promise. I promise, Cameron."

Savannah was pretty sure what would follow the shower, especially after all of the touching to clean Cameron. She was sure Cameron would insist on cleaning her too. She was ready for the adventure. It was long overdue. She hoped to 'open up' a whole new world for Cameron to enjoy. She was well aware and experienced. As soon as things were 'opened up', it was a two way street. Once again she could feel her body respond in anticipation of what was sure could happen. There was still a wild card that could mess everything up for them. It might as well have been the Joker but it was John.

She began to question why John needed to go to Las Vegas. She really wondered sometimes if he had a learning disability.

John thought about what he saw at the airport in the hangar. There was also what the mechanic said about the armor used for 'movies'. He was sure there was much more to it than what he'd witnessed. He really wondered about the timing of everything and how it worked out.

"It sounds like Cameron is building her own air force, along with a force of armor." John said.

It hadn't taken John Henry long to come to that same conclusion either.

"It appears that way. I know she's been preparing for this for a long time." John Henry said. "She controls billions of dollars. In the last week her net worth seemed to have tripled with legitimate assets she suddenly came into control of. These were all firms, stocks and investments that have been there for decades."

John immediately saw it for what he believed it was.

"It sounds like a 'temporal treasury' event." John said.

John Henry was sure it was a case of 'temporal malpractice'.

"I don't know." John Henry said. "CamNet blocked me from checking and Cameron personally visited me and asked me to drop it. When she does that, you listen."

John and John Henry headed for the waiting jet. It was already running. That surprised both of them.

"Why is the jet running?" John asked. "I thought we were the only ones who were going to be on it."

John Henry knew that there were other forces at work continuously outside of his realm.

"I don't know." John Henry said. "It would appear CamNet has provided us with a pilot."

John wondered if they'd only spotted the tip of the iceberg. Since he knew how Cameron operated, he was pretty sure that was the case.

"I'm sure there is a lot more to this that we don't understand right now." John said.

The jet shut off and Gail appeared in the open doorway. She looked a little upset and a little mean.

"Hi, John." Gail said as a smile blossomed on her face.

John thought she was quite attractive when she smiled. He figured most people were too busy checking out her massive breasts to see her face anyway. He was aware he was doing that now too. It was impossible not to. She did pack a set of jugs that just wouldn't quit.

"Hello again, Gail." John said. "I didn't expect to see you here. You looked like you were headed out earlier."

Gail knew that John referred to their encounter in the hallway outside of Savannah's room.

"I was instructed to come here on a new mission from my previous one. Cameron called me and asked me to fly for you." Gail said. "She also wanted you to have some extra protection…."

It was obvious to John Henry that CamNet must have alerted Cameron and that 'corrective action' was taken.

John understood her concern for his safety but he just didn't think it was that big of a deal or should be a priority for everyone.

"How 'thoughtful' of her." John said.

Gail wanted John to know why she specifically was there.

"Cameron's worried about your safety." Gail said. "We all are."

It was clear to John that CamNet squealed on him. She'd alerted Cameron about what he was up to. At least it wouldn't be a surprise now. It also meant she'd have more time to 'stew' over it. That was probably where the real problem would lie. The more time she had to mull something over seemed to increase her anxiety and negativity towards him.

They could hear the sound of running footsteps and angry voices from somewhere behind them. John Henry immediately moved John in back of him. There was a group coming and they were moving fast.

There was some noise and an argument coming from somewhere behind them. It grew closer and louder. They were female voices.

"Hurry up, stupid."

"You're stupid not me."

"I told you to get dressed."

"I was busy."

"You're always 'busy'."

"Both of you - shut up. We almost missed the plane because of you two. I'm recommending both of you be deactivated. You need to get your priorities straight."

The three Metal girls ran around the side of the jet and saw John, John Henry and Gail stare at them.

John wanted to calm things down and put everyone on a happier note.

"Hello, Sheila, Ally and Cam or Cammy." John said.

John could never tell the difference. They both looked like Cameron to him anyway. They were both identical clones of her. The only difference was they were 'out of date' and had some of Cameron's personal programming blocked on their chips. He wasn't sure the 'out of date' part was a bad thing because they've been able to make plenty of new files themselves.

Cammy looked at John and frowned. She knew that Savannah didn't have any trouble to tell Cam from her or Cameron.

"I'm Cammy. I'm sorry we're late." Cammy said. "CamNet sent us over here with little warning. We were in the middle of conducting an operation."

John figured it was one of Cameron's 'off the books' operations. He wasn't aware of anything else before they left the Resistance base. They seldom ever were notified of any of those operations in the Command Center. Cameron believed that they were outside the scope of Resistance matters in a technical sense but not in a practical sense. She told him the people they took down were all future Scavengers or Grays.

"Well you're here now, Cam." John said as he remembered who it actually was. "I mean, Cammy."

Cammy wondered if John needed to have his vision checked. She thought it might be a learning disability too. She didn't look anything like Cam. Well, maybe a passing resemblance. Maybe she needed to give him a little something 'extra' so he'd remember who she was. Besides, that Bitch, Cameron was out with Savannah and that didn't sit well with her.

The three Metal girls were all scantily clad with a lot showing of 'everything'. Once they'd spotted John, they all seemed to show a little more.

John looked over their scantily clad outfits.

"Based on those 'outfits' it must have been an interesting assignment." John said. "You all look stunning, I might add."

Cammy felt that comment earned John a few bonus points. She would really see if she could work in a little 'extra' for him later on. There was no reason she couldn't teach Cameron a lesson of her own in the process.

"Thanks. We helped some young girls get a second chance at life." Cammy said. "None of them are chained to a bed any longer."

John smiled and nodded.

"You girls should be real proud of yourself." John said. "No one deserves a life like that, especially if they are forced into it against their own will."

Cammy decided she would definitely offer to show John a little more.

John was aware Cameron conducted operations outside the scope of normal Resistance operations. It was a way for her to obtain more funds from what she confiscated. He turned and looked back at the hangar that they just left several minutes ago. It all made sense. He was aware it also cut down on future Scavengers.

The Metal girls all carried some duffel bags with them. It looked like there was fresh blood on one of them.

Ally saw John look at the duffel bag with the blood on it. She decided to give him a simple answer to a much more complex issue. She unzipped the bag. It was full of cash. It mostly looked like hundred dollar bills. There were thousands and thousands of them.

"Plus we picked up some gambling money." Ally said. "As soon as we found out we were headed for 'Sin City', we knew what to bring with us."

Sheila looked a little nervous. She moved close to Cammy's ear.

"Remember, we're banned from some of those places." Sheila whispered to Cammy.

Cammy figured a lot had changed since then.

"That was over sixty years ago." Cammy whispered back. "All those people should be dead by now."

John didn't hear them but Gail, Ally and John Henry did.

John Henry wondered what else was in the duffel bags. He wanted to make sure nothing would turn into a problem for John or his safety.

"What other things do you have with you?" John Henry asked.

Cammy didn't see it as a big deal. Other than the money, it was the same things they'd carry on any operation for the Resistance.

"Clothes, weapons and body armor." Cammy said.

Cammy and Sheila carried duffel bags too.

Gail didn't want there to be any problems on her end.

"I brought some items that will be needed as well." Gail said.

John looked at the four Metal girls. He really wondered about the timing of everything.

"What would have happened if we'd already left?" John asked.

Cammy didn't see it as a big deal. They already had a contingency plan to fall back on.

"We would've 'borrowed' a plane and followed you." Cammy said. "CamNet assured us you would wait for fifteen minutes for us. Thank You. It will save me from an argument with that Bitch. Sorry, I mean your wife."

There were times John experienced when Cameron was both of those things, usually at different times. He was sure it was the Bitch more than the wife.

John thought about the time delay. He looked over at John Henry and the hangar that they'd exited from a few minutes previously.

"Fifteen minutes…." John said. "What a coincidence…."

John and John Henry both wondered about everything that happened since they'd left the Resistance base. The web page directed John Henry to park in the lot he did earlier instead of the one they normally used. CamNet probably did that also, they thought.

John Henry hoped to find a little bit more about what else was going on.

"Is Cam coming as well?" John Henry asked.

Sheila looked a little disappointed.

"She lucked out and got the job we all wanted." Sheila said.

Ally looked equally disappointed.

"Damn straight she did." Ally said.

Gail wanted to get things moving. She wanted to back up Savannah in Las Vegas.

"I'll let you all have some of my 'work' when we return. You all know Jesse will appreciate it." Gail said. "We need to go."

Sheila and Ally high fived each other, up high and down low.

Cammy saw John was curious but afraid to ask.

"It is a special assignment that Cameron asked the girls to work on." Cammy said.

John was curious about what it was and hoped that one of them would tell him without the need for him to ask.

"Do I want to know?" John asked.

Cammy was aware that Cam's assignment was to help Jesse and Vanna to stimulate their ability to lactate.

"It's doubtful." Cammy said. "I wouldn't worry about it if I were you OR ANYTHING ELSE here at the airport."

John Henry and John both got the message.

John felt they were just wasting time at this point. They could talk on the airplane.

"Let's go." John said. "We've been delayed long enough."

Sheila and Ally looked at each other.

"I'm flying." Ally said.

"NO. I'm flying." Sheila said.

"Are not." Ally said.

"Am so." Sheila said.

Both Sheila and Ally hurried to get on the plane. They each used their duffel bag to impede the other one.

Gail blocked their path at the door to the jet.

"I'm flying and John Henry is my copilot." Gail said. "Is there going to be a problem?"

"Gail is going just to see Savannah." Sheila said. "Then she'll turn from a big badass into a frightened little kitten."

Ally giggled.

"Yup." Ally said. "Damn straight."

Cammy was always irritated with Sheila and Ally's antics.

"Maybe you two can get married while you're there." Cammy said to Ally and Sheila.

Ally and Sheila looked at each other again.

"She's a 'Metal Bitch'." Sheila said. "I hate her."

"She's a 'Metal Whore'." Ally said. "I hate her more."

Cammy reached out and grabbed both of them by the neck. She shook them violently for a few seconds.

"Knock it off." Cammy said.

Sheila and Ally saw Cammy's eyes now glowed red.

They all boarded the plane in silence. John Henry and Gail took up their positions in the pilot and co-pilot seat and started the jet. They taxied out after getting clearance from the tower and departed for Las Vegas.

John looked at the three Metal girls in the back with him as he sat in the jet. None of them were talking. It appeared they were all upset with each other now. He would've hoped for a little better atmosphere for everyone to share.

"Is this how the whole flight will be?" John asked.

Ally looked at Sheila and Cammy and then at John.

"Maybe." Ally said as she winked at John. "We could do other things to pass the time."

Sheila moved just right and a breast with a nipple ring was now visible.

"What did you have in mind, tiger?" Sheila asked.

Now John wished he wouldn't have said anything. He did have trouble taking his eyes off of Sheila's exposed breast. He really liked the way that it looked, especially with the nipple ring. He tried to refocus.

"Everyone seems upset." John said.

Gail knew what the real problem was between the three of them.

"It's a twisted love triangle." Gail said loudly as she looked back.

Cammy shot Gail a dirty look. She didn't care for Gail to follow Savannah around like a lost kitten.

"Look who's talking." Cammy said loudly back to Gail.

John wanted to redirect the conversation. He was afraid the way that the girls were dressed might attract a little more attention than necessary.

"Are you going to change?" John asked. "Those outfits are a little skimpy."

John was sure the girls would be accused of 'solicitation' in Las Vegas if they remained dressed like that.

Sheila quickly looked at Ally and nodded.

"I thought you'd never ask." Sheila said.

Before John could say anything, Sheila and Ally started to remove their skimpy clothes.

Sheila made a point of adjusting and centering her jewelry in front of John. She made sure she stretched her lower rings out to their fullest extent before she released them and they snapped back up and out of view.

Cammy moved over and sat by John as they both watched Sheila and Ally change.

"When the 'B' team is done, I'll change." Cammy whispered. "That way you can see what you're actually missing."

Cammy really wanted to tell him that when he finally accepted Savannah that she would be there as well if he 'wanted' her. She believed that Cameron was unfit to have either John or Savannah. There was no reason that she couldn't replace that Bitch.

John looked nervous as everything went down. He tried not to stare at them but he did. He couldn't help it. Cameron left him lonely too many times…. They were all so beautiful.

John knew they were all ripe for the 'picking'.

He was ready to pick. He knew that none of them could say 'no' if he asked them.

John glanced down at his pants as 'Little Willie' began to respond on his own. He hoped none of them would notice. Then again if one of them did, he was ready to knock one off. 'Little Willie' liked smooth soft warm tight places and so did he.

I Hate Her

What was once clear
Suddenly begins to blur
As to another
You begin to defer

It seems that now
I'm like a burr
As to another
Your feelings you transfer

The thought of me
Seems to draw a slur
As to another
It seems you now prefer

The feelings you had
No longer seem to stir
As to another
You seek her fur

I'm still the same
To you I can assure
As to another
You rather make her purr

She's nothing more
Than an evil saboteur
As to another
I hate her

Nobody
