Chapter 856

Check The Mirror

The transmission from Gail as to what she was able to hear was transmitted to John Henry's server and CamNet. They heard it in the local Las Vegas Control Center.

Cammy listened to what the Grays said along with John and John Henry.

All three of them were disgusted with what the Grays talked about.

John Henry didn't like what he heard.

"They're no better than Scavengers." John Henry said.

John didn't care for it either.

It made him think about some of what Cameron allowed Sheila to do to Grays that were captured. He was aware that Cameron hated Scavengers and Grays for the atrocities they inflicted on females and young males. Here was another example he was able to hear first hand of what was done to females. It wasn't so much that he doubted what Cameron told him was done, it was that he didn't have much first-hand experience with it himself. He'd seen the work of Scavengers in the future that he visited. He hadn't really seen the atrocities committed by the Gray's there.

Cammy listened too and her eyes glowed red for a short time. It was very upsetting to her to know that there were Grays here who'd gotten away with those types of crimes so far. It was time that someone acted. She thought she'd take care of the problem herself. There was no need to wait any longer. What needed to be done, needed to be done. It was just that simple.

"I'm going to go there myself and terminate them." Cammy said.

Both John and John Henry were a little surprised at her sudden proclamation.

Cammy looked around for the SUV keys.

John said nothing to stop her. He wasn't about to let a young girl's life be ruined and end horribly. They couldn't prevent every abuse but they could prevent this next one by the Grays. It appeared the Grays already killed one female after abusing her and it didn't sound like it was the first one either. He was disturbed by how much pleasure they seemed to get out of the terror they inflicted before they killed their captive. He wondered if they got off more on the violence than they did the actual sex. It sure sounded like it.

Cammy found the keys to the SUV and headed for the door.

John and John Henry looked at Cammy and then at each other.

John was aware how impulsive Cameron was at times. When something bothered her a lot, she wanted to act on it right away. She didn't always think everything else through at that point. She would simply be focused on the job that needed to be done. it was obvious that Cammy acted the same way. She did run Cameron's program after all. He decided to give her a heads up before she walked out of the door.

"Cammy, you might want to check the mirror before you go out." John said.

Cammy reached up and touched her hair. She was worried it might be a little messed up. It was the hardest thing to get right after all.

"What would I do that for?" Cammy asked. "I'm off to terminate some Grays. I'm not go to a beauty pageant."

She continued toward the door.

Cammy glanced at one of the many mirrors and stopped. She looked back in John's direction.

"Thanks, John." Cammy said. "I can see that I got a little ahead of myself."

Cammy wasn't sure why she didn't realize she was still naked.

She knew Cameron experienced these types of problems but she usually didn't. It must have something to do with the extreme anger that she felt. One thing was for sure. She didn't want to end up like Cameron does sometimes. She didn't want to go off for a day or two and think that she was Future Allison.

Now that she thought about Future Allison she remembered all the good times that she shared with her in Cameron's future. She was in Ginger's chassis for that entire time period so that there wouldn't be another 'Cameron look alike' there. It pleased her immensely that she could look a lot like Savannah but yet still different with Ginger's chassis. It appeared to her that both Future Allison and Future Savannah found it equally as intriguing. Future Savannah and her compared 'everything' multiple times. The biggest noticeable difference was in breast size. Ginger's sheath was much more robust and about triple the size of Future Savannah and Savannah. Later on Savannah's nursing breasts did cut down on some of the difference but Ginger's sheath was still much larger. She blinked her eyes several times. She realized she was still standing in front of the mirror. She didn't know why her thoughts drifted like that. She needed to refocus.

She went into the bedroom and looked at the heart shaped bed again. She was still very disappointed that she wasn't able to be with John there. She looked at the pile of clothes on the floor and remembered hers were in the bathroom area, specifically the dressing room. It was actually large.

Cammy quickly dressed and went to head out. As she neared the door she turned back and reminded John not to leave the room. She stuck her head back in the door and told John one other thing.

"John, we'll 'finish up' when I get back." Cammy said as she closed the door behind her. "I don't want to leave Las Vegas a virgin."

John swallowed hard and looked at John Henry.

John Henry heard everything that was said. He really wanted to stay out of the conversation. He didn't look back at John, he busied himself with the two laptops instead. He really thought that he could help Cammy out with her 'wish' but remembered that Cameron forbade all Terminator on Terminator contact if they were of a different gender. He would have to see if Sheila still wanted to borrow his chassis. She'd asked him several times now.

John didn't know what to expect. He already regretted not knocking off a quickie with Cammy. He really wanted to see if everything was the same. After witnessing her ready to leave without clothes on, it was apparent she was very much like Cameron in more ways than one. He was very sure this was an 'unfinished chapter' in his life. He still wasn't sure if Cammy wanted the experience for herself or just to rub it in Cameron's face. He thought about it for a few more seconds and decided as far as he was concerned, it didn't really matter. He would still give her what she wanted either way. Besides, what could it hurt? No really, what could it hurt? It would be the same as being with Cameron. A clone was supposed to be identical to the individual they were cloned from. That was the whole purpose of a clone. He tried to convince himself that Cammy was 'Cameron'.

John Henry was about to ask John a few questions. He looked at him for a few moments as the events continued to unfold but didn't say anything. It was clear that John was lost deep in thought somewhere. He was sure that somewhere was between Cammy's legs. After that 'view' Cammy gave both of them earlier, he really couldn't blame him. He called up a few of the images he'd saved when he zoomed in. He quickly closed the images. He could do that better when he was plugged into his server than when he wasn't. He needed to focus on the job they were there to do. His mind started to drift again.

Without thinking much about it he began to replay the files of his 'examination' of Riley and of Precious being born along with examining Riley afterwards. He really wondered if that was going to be the extent of his personal contact with a female's private parts.

John Henry's head suddenly tilted sideways. He just realized he'd experienced the same 'first contact' with a female that John did. Well except for the childbirth part and the intercourse. It was still the same private area on the same individual.

Gail waited until she heard the men return to the inside of the building and secure the door. She looked around cautiously to make sure that she wasn't being set up and hopped out of the dumpster.

She was thoroughly disgusted with what she'd heard and it made her think of the abuse Jesse and Vanna suffered. This was no different. The Grays needed to be put down at once. She didn't want to wait any longer. She didn't want the other ones to leave either after they unloaded the HK Track they said that they were going to unload.

"John, do you want me to terminate the Grays now?" Gail asked. "I can't leave them alive after 'that'. I will not let them live."

John didn't want Gail to go in alone. Ally was still close by with the SUV. Cammy was on her way. He wanted to make sure that they went in with enough force to overwhelm the Grays and that no one was damaged. Well, at least that no one was damaged on his team.

"Cammy is on her way there to assist you." John said. "Wait for her."

Ally didn't hear her name specifically mentioned by John. She wanted to remind him that she was close by and available. She briefly wondered if she should try to change assignments with Sheila. What Gail wanted to do was more Sheila's line of work than hers.

"I'm still here too." Ally said. "I'm just around the corner."

John actually thought a little further ahead than it appeared everyone else did.

"Ally, I may need both Gail and you to follow the box truck when it leaves." John said. "It brought the HK Track from somewhere. I want to find out where. Remember, the Grays talked about a Terminator as well. Everyone needs to use caution in that regard. I also want to make sure that we act before that piece of HK equipment becomes active."

Ally didn't want to be sidelined and she knew Gail didn't want to be either. Not in this instance. Not when it was right in front of their face. She figured additional help should be close by if it wasn't already there by this point.

"I understand." Ally said. "Don't you have any other of our Terminators here yet? This is very personal to us. We 'took care of' a group of people like this right before we met you at the airport. They weren't Skynet related, at least not yet anyway. They would have been in the future if we hadn't stopped them."

John remembered the duffel bag that had fresh blood spots on it. He remembered how the girls were dressed. He wanted to make sure none of those Grays were able to make it to the school for girls.

"I understand why Cameron wants these people taken out now. They will savage all the females in a Skynet future if we allow it to happen." John said. "They will keep doing this to more and more females."

Ally wanted to remind him that young boys were in just as much danger in the future.

"It's not just females, John." Ally said. "Both females and males will be violated."

John needed to remind everyone, including himself that they were there to do a job. Even with the job at hand, he didn't want any schoolgirls to be apprehended by any of the Grays.

"I'll still need to have the box truck followed." John said. "If that Gray leaves before Cammy gets there, go after him instead."

Ally felt that she was at a disadvantage now with her SUV. It was a liability now and would make her a target.

"Remember, they've seen my vehicle before." Ally said. "I'm pretty sure when they see it again that it will produce a negative reaction."

John still wanted everything to be taken care of.

"We'll track the box truck with traffic cams if we have to." John said. "I'll still need someone close if action is necessary."

John Henry wanted to remind John the outskirts of Las Vegas were unlike the outskirts of Los Angeles. There weren't miles and miles of suburbs that extended out in all directions.

"There aren't very many traffic cams once anyone leaves the central part of the city." John Henry said. "The roads all turn into asphalt paths through a lot of open arid desert."

Gail didn't want to hear the discussion. There was no longer a need for a discussion. She was right there outside of the back door. She could be inside there in ten seconds and take care of business herself.

"Let me take out all four of them now." Gail said. "I won't sustain much damage. I think it's better if we take them before they get the HK Track unloaded and online."

John could sense everyone's frustration. He understood these were the exact same feelings that Cameron experienced on her operations when she wanted to 'take care of business' herself.

"Let me get back to you." John said. "I want to see about more help."

Gail didn't want to wait. She could be through the door and take them all out in seconds. Even if they were holding firearms, she would sustain little sheath damage. They wouldn't expect an attack and they'd be caught by surprise. There was no need to wait. She really wanted to get it over with.

Sheila quickly identified her target. She was behind the brown haired man and a little off to his side. He moved slowly through the casino. He stopped at a few tables along the way. He checked for a tail.

Dan dropped back at this point. He would come to Sheila's aid if needed. The man previously checked him out several times in the first casino. He didn't want spotted again. He thought he should change places with Frank.

Sheila watched a few tables first and then played her hundred dollar bill. In a few minutes she'd made several thousand dollars. The man glanced in her direction several times as he played at some of the nearby tables.

She moved past him to be closer to the parking garage. She figured that's where he was headed. Dan was still in back of him in case the man retreated and headed back to the tram.

Frank made it through the traffic jam and now waited in the parking structure.

They were pretty sure the man was covered but there was nothing to prevent him from walking right out the front door.

Cameron observed they were almost to the next tram station. There were still two other stops before the end of the line. Cameron decided she was going to enter the tram car of the man if he didn't get off at the next stop. She told Savannah about her plans and to remain where she was. She was a little worried that if she didn't move into the man's tram car that Savannah might.

She watched as the tram slowed to a stop and exited with a group of people. She asked CamNet to hold the tram in the station until she either entered the man's tram car or he exited and she followed him.

Cameron started down the escalator with a group of people. She reached the bottom and checked in with Savannah. The man hadn't exited. Cameron came back up the escalator with some other people. She headed for the tram car with the man in it. She could see he was still seated. Cameron gave instructions to CamNet to immediately close the tram doors as soon as she entered the car.

Cameron followed a couple into the tram car. The doors rapidly closed behind her. The man was still seated. He looked at everyone as they entered. Cameron sat two rows in back of him. She picked up a small casino newspaper and pretended to read it as she observed the man.

Savannah didn't like Cameron entering the man's tram car. She was told to remain where she was. Savannah knew Cameron tried to spot if the man was from the future - a future.

They didn't know if they were dealing with two separate Skynets, which included the Fanatics or a group of Resistance Fighters or the anti-Metal faction.

These men went to great lengths to remain in the shadows. They were highly wary of picking up a tail. That would seem to indicate that they must have experienced some trouble in the past with someone in their organization being tailed and the trouble that would be unleashed after that.

Savannah wanted some light shined on those shadows. When the light hit the shadows, the cockroaches all ran.

She clandestinely touched her weapons to make sure that everything was ready to go. It was.

Cammy drove rapidly. She really wanted to terminate the two Grays who laughed about assaulting and killing females. She needed to remain focused. She began to wonder if this is how it started with Cameron when she would 'Allison out'. She didn't want that to happen to her, especially now. She wasn't sure why this seemed to bother her so much but it did.

She wanted to figure out what she tried to do with John earlier. She wasn't sure if it was programmed into her or some of Cameron's firewalled directives about John may have been unlocked. Once she'd spotted the bed with an apparent 'used look', she felt compelled to 'act' with John. She wondered if this was her new 'function'. She wondered if she was to be a 'placeholder' for Allison - Young Allison. She didn't know Cameron and Savannah hadn't actually shared yet. She was convinced they already did.

She didn't know if this was what caused her the further distress she felt now. Maybe all the feelings would load up and she would 'zone out' too. She didn't want that to happen. She didn't want to be like that Bitch. Maybe that was her destiny. She was created in Cameron's image after all along with her same program. At least Ally was able to have Holly's program for her base program. Ally didn't have the same built in defectiveness that she was sure to have since she ran Cameron's program. She hoped to be able to self terminate before she harmed Savannah in any way. She remembered that it needed to apply to John as well. She needed to refocus. She knew that combat would clear her mind. Wait, that thought was the exact same thing that Cameron thought too. She started to look into the rear view mirror. She stopped herself. She didn't want to check the mirror and remind herself who she was, even if she wasn't.

"Gail, where are you at?" Cammy asked as she neared the location.

Gail moved up to a position where she could act instantly if it sounded like any of the Grays were about to leave the building.

"I'm right outside the rear door." Gail said, quietly. "I'm ready to act."

Ally was ready to lend support.

"I'm still around the corner." Ally said. "I can be there in seconds if I know ahead of time."

Cammy increased her speed further. She didn't want them to act without her there.

"I want both of you to hold your positions. If you need to evade, do so. I don't want a confrontation until I'm there." Cammy said.

Ally wondered about some of the 'justice' that she'd watched Sheila administer at the location they were at prior to the jet flight.

"Are we going to give them the 'full treatment' when we get them alone?" Ally asked.

Cammy watched Sheila act at the previous location as well. She didn't plan to laugh and taunt the perpetrators as Sheila did but she wanted 'justice'.

"Yes, we are." Cammy said. "I want to use the 'crush and rip' method. I want them to know and feel their fate. I want them to know why."

Cammy decided to check the mirror. She saw her eyes glowed red. She realized that seemed to be a more frequent occurrence with her than it had been in the past. Maybe she needed to acquire a set of sunglasses to carry with her to help mask her true nature.

She headed into this new task already wound up. It wouldn't take much to send her over the edge. She really hoped that she didn't end up like Cameron. She didn't want to be a Bitch.

John listened to the communications from Cammy. He glanced over at John Henry.

"That's some information I could have done without." John said.

John Henry didn't think he actually needed to remind John why Cameron conducted 'off the books' operations on her own that weren't a part of the Resistance and their activities.

"It's what our female Terminators do to protect the future." John Henry said. "People who do these types of activities now, will only be worse in the future. You need to look no further than the girls from the alternate future that you - visited."

John knew that John Henry wanted to say created instead of visited. He didn't need to be reminded that what happened to the girls from that future was his fault for creating that future.

"I thought Cameron started the 'off the books' operations to obtain funds originally. I see now how personal it is to her and them." John said. "They all want to avenge what was done to Jesse, Vanna and Allison."

John Henry felt it was a legitimate concern.

"They also want to make sure that doesn't happen to Savannah, Young Allison, Summer, Precious and Jan." John Henry said.

John Henry purposely didn't mention the girls from the future, Claire or his mother. All of them would be subject to abuse in a Skynet future as well. No female was safe. Not even dead ones.

John didn't want that either. It angered him just to think about it.

"When we get back to the base we'll assist Cameron in this endeavor." John said.

John Henry didn't think that would be necessary.

"I honestly think she has it covered." John Henry said. "She's been at this for years. Remember she doesn't sleep. She's able to get a lot done in a twenty four hour period.

John couldn't help but think about all the lonely nights he'd spent alone. Here he was worried about his sexual gratification and Cameron was out protecting the future as she tried to save girls from abuse. That was what she squeezed in on her free time. Her main goal what's to locate and fight any version of Skynet along with its operatives that she could find.

He really wondered if Cameron didn't actually send Cammy at this point to act as she'd done earlier. It appeared that she did want to be there for him and knew that she couldn't because of everything she needed to do. That was why she'd sent the next best thing she could come up with. It was a surrogate of herself as a clone.

Allison was happy to see Vanna and everyone else when they arrived at the Resistance base. They all stopped by and saw Precious. Summer went off with Bob to find Jan.

Holly and Hanna sought out Cam and all three of them disappeared into Holly's old room.

Vanna led Allison back to her room – THEIR room.

Before she closed the door, Allison saw her mother enter Jesse's room. She was sure Jesse and Vanna would 'trade off' before the day was done. It no longer bothered her when Vanna and her mother shared. It seemed to give them both happiness. Happiness was something that was very hard to find in the future so if it could be found in the present it should be shared and enjoyed. Happiness was fleeting.

She shrugged her shoulders as she thought about it. It was what everyone wanted anyway. It seemed for the childless females that life didn't have much to offer, except themselves to each other….

Allison watched as Vanna stripped in front of her.

"Wow, you're way bigger now." Allison said as she looked at Vanna's nursing breasts.

Vanna looked down at herself.

"I guess it's a little maybe." Vanna said. "It happens slowly so it's hard to notice myself as it happens, then one day you check the mirror and see it. I do know my clothes don't fit like they used to. I needed to borrow some of the bras that Savannah used before when she returned from the future. They're still a little loose on me but not by much anymore."

Allison thought it made Vanna look even more beautiful to her.

"You're beautiful, Vanna." Allison said.

Vanna cupped her voluptuous breasts.

"I have a surprise for you…." Vanna said.

Allison smiled. She wondered what it was. She was just happy to be there with Vanna.

Mirror Of Time

Like sand through the hourglass
So are the days of our lives
Some of them are better than others
Some of them cut like knives

Few things stay the same
Change can come in an instant
The only absolute to it all
Is that things become distant

Time waits for Nobody
The seconds keep on ticking away
The hands on the clock keep moving
There isn't a moment to delay

Should of - could of - would of
Don't really matter anymore
Things didn't happen that way
There's never an encore

One reflects on the past
They think things could change
The mirror of time indicates otherwise
There's no way to make things rearrange

Nobody
