Chapter 862

Dead Justice

Savannah was near the side door entrance of the casino. She played a slot machine out of necessity, not by choice. She didn't want to look at the unknown man directly and have him see her look at him. Her back was mostly to him. She needed to rely on John Henry to keep her updated as to what happened around her.

She didn't feel threatened but if he was from the future, he might recognize her as 'Future Savannah'. He'd looked at her a few times but never for a long time all at once. It made her feel very uncomfortable whenever he did look at her. She thought he was a predator.

Savannah could tell he paced back and forth behind her and off to the side of her slightly. His movements seemed very erratic.

"Savannah, the man looks very agitated." John Henry said.

Savannah took a quick glance in his direction. She touched her Taser and Glock under her clothing.

"I feel a lot of negative energy." Savannah said. "I'm ready for him."

She decided if the man came anywhere near her, she was going to shoot him.

John Henry's interpretation of the man's actions indicated that the man wanted to flee the area he was at. He seemed to have reached a breaking point and he wanted to get away from where he was. He would most likely become very volatile if anyone were to confront him or challenge him at this point in time.

"He's ready to run." John Henry said. "I'm sure he's highly unstable."

Savannah was aware the man that was supposed to pick him up was late based upon the original timeline that she'd heard them discuss when she overheard their phone conversation.

"I think that's because his ride has been delayed." Savannah said.

John Henry wanted to reassure them that their transportation would arrive right after the unknown man departed with his associate.

"It should be here soon for him." John Henry said. "Sheila will arrive soon herself and be the ride for Cameron and you.

Savannah figured that they would follow him but their erratic behavior and excessive amount of paranoia would probably make that task rather difficult. She did know that they would have three vehicles available to follow them. She wondered if they would need more. She might need to drive herself in a fourth vehicle. She was up to the task if it became necessary.

Cameron moved as close as she could and not be in the hallway for the side entrance. She played on a video poker machine to look like she was a patron. She wanted to make sure Savannah wasn't in any unnecessary danger.

The paranoid behavior of the man made Cameron want to terminate him as soon as possible. It bothered her greatly that he was in close proximity to Savannah. Maybe she should make herself known to him and see what happened. If he recognized her, she would become the target and not Savannah. Just to watch the man was incredibly irritating. She hoped she never looked like that when she started to have a 'problem'. She actually hoped that she didn't look like that now as the man continued to further agitate her.

"I'd like to terminate him now." Cameron said. "This has gone on long enough. This man is a threat. His behavior is erratic."

John knew that they were just minutes away from the man being extracted by the other unknown individual in the blue sedan. They were going to go somewhere. He wanted to know where that somewhere was. He figured that there must be a 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow. It could be more of their group or even some version of Skynet.

"We want to see where he goes or who he's connected to." John said. "We need to look at the bigger picture here. There's more to this story than we know so far."

Cameron figured she could hasten that process dramatically. All she needed was a little 'Terminator time' alone with him. She smiled to herself when she remembered that Sheila was close by too. She knew that between the two of them that they could make them 'sing' soon. Of course the 'singing' would probably change to soprano rather quickly once Sheila started in on him.

"I can beat it out of him." Cameron said. "It won't take long."

Cameron glanced down at her poker machine. It was up to several thousand dollars. She didn't even remember playing it. Her desire to terminate the man consumed most of what she currently thought about.

John continued to watch Cameron through the security monitors. The more that he watched her the more that he could see her behavior start to become erratic itself. She really wanted to do something, which was to terminate the man, and she wasn't allowed to do that.

"Just relax, Cameron. This will all play out." John said. "I figured you would be in a better mood than this."

John's statement and attitude infuriated her further. She didn't need any outside agitation at this time. She didn't feel any threat to Savannah should be allowed to go on for this long without being addressed. She could be to the man in seconds and snap his neck like a rotten twig.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cameron snapped.

It was because of what she was 'cheated out of' that made her upset. It was what didn't happen that bothered her. She's been so close to be able to share with Savannah and that moment was stripped away from her rather abruptly.

John could see that anything he said was going to cause a problem with Cameron.

"Nothing…." John said. "I don't want to argue."

Cameron thought that was a smart choice based on how she felt right now.

She became instantly alert. The man moved closer to Savannah. That was the last straw.

"The man is walking towards Savannah." Cameron said. "I'm going to take him down…."

Sheila was able to bring the Escalade she'd recently appropriated within visual range of the blue sedan. His driving behavior was very erratic.

She watched the blue sedan 'bolt'. He made an erratic high speed right turn.

Sheila made the turn one street in back of him to parallel him.

"I'll follow him one street over." Sheila said. "Keep me posted on where he goes next. I need to know the direction he turns."

John Henry was able to track the blue sedan through traffic cams.

"He's just went past the street to enter the side entrance of the casino." John Henry said.

Sheila quickly went over the satellite image that she had on file of the area. She deduced what his next move would be.

"He'll loop around and come in from the opposite direction." Sheila said. "It's a good strategy."

John Henry watched him perform that maneuver on the traffic cams.

"He's turning left." John Henry said. "I think you're correct."

Since they were sure of the man's destination, Sheila thought that she would take a shortcut to enter the casino parking area.

"I'm going to head for the side entrance directly." Sheila said. "I don't want to follow him in."

Sheila wondered what made these people so edgy and easy to spook. She really wanted some alone time with one or both of the men. She would know all of their secrets as they begged for death to end their misery. Of course she would need to remove something from their mouth first so they could actually speak. It would be a body part that was removed from another area of their body. It was pretty much standard fare for her during an interrogation of a low life.

Dan alighted from the car that Frank drove earlier. He wanted to acquire an additional form of transportation. He originally went to select a sports car but spotted a motorcycle. He could see that it was a high end machine. He broke the lock on the motorcycle and was now on it.

"I'm moving through the alleys." Dan said. "I'll move past him to block his retreat to the east and south. If he tries to go in a different direction from the casino I'm going to bring him down. This has to end."

John needed to agree with that assessment. It was clear that Cameron was going to terminate the man at the casino side entrance.

"That's good thinking." John said. "Where's the former rider of the motorcycle at?"

Dan realized that John wanted to know if he'd terminated the owner of the motorcycle. He thought that he would put his mind at ease.

"That's unknown." Dan said. "I didn't see where they were at when I borrowed the motorcycle."

John understood the answer to me that there wasn't an unnecessary termination. He'd previously told the Terminators that he didn't want any.

Frank dumped the vehicle he was driving and acquired a new one.

"I'm in position to intercept him from the north and west." Frank said. "I have new wheels as well."

John didn't want anyone to get ahead of themselves. They knew the exact location the driver of the blue sedan would go to. The process took a little bit longer than they thought it would due to the unknown man's paranoia.

"Everyone sit tight." John said.

John Henry could now track the blue sedan through the casino's security cameras in the parking area.

"He's entered the side parking lot of the casino now. He came in from the other direction." John Henry said. "Sheila called it."

Frank was nearby to begin the tail of the blue sedan once it left the casino.

"I'm ready." Frank said.

Cammy and Gail were ready to terminate the two Grays. They no longer provided any useful information.

They took one more look around and moved the weapons they collected, to where the HK Track was at. They were ready to go. All that they need now was for the truck to arrive with one of the Resistance Terminators. They were informed that one was on the way.

"How soon until we get a team with a truck here?" Cammy asked. "The interrogation is over."

John Henry checked on the progress of the other Resistance Terminators as they neared the Las Vegas area. Several of them were in close enough proximity to begin to assist the Metal girls.

"Tom will arrive soon with a box truck that he's acquired." John Henry said. "He's been headed your way ever since we learned there was an HK Track delivered there."

Cammy looked around the area one more time. The two men barely moved at this point as they slowly bled out.

"We have everything ready to go." Cammy said.

John hadn't been able to hear the interrogation in its entirety. It appeared that CamNet blocked some things from the casino Command Center. It didn't take much imagination to know what those things were.

"Did you get a location on where the Terminator was?" John asked. "We missed some of the interrogation."

Cammy glanced over at Gail. They were both satisfied with the results of the interrogation.

"We got what we needed." Cammy said.

Gail wanted to let John know that they were on it. She didn't want him or anyone else to ask about the interrogation.

"As soon as we get Tom loaded, we're headed there." Gail said.

John was pleased to know that. He could hear a strange noise through the Metal girl's coms.

"What's that noise in the background?" John asked.

Cammy looked over at the two gagged figures on the ground.

"It's two Grays." Cammy said. "I don't think you want to know more than that."

Cammy looked over at the thrashing men. There still needed to be some more retribution. She didn't feel totally satisfied yet. A spectacular finish would liven things up some. She looked over at the SUV that the men used to go to the rail yard. A smile slowly appeared on her face. It would be a spectacular finish.

Claire wasn't bothered by the fact that Allison walked in and saw her and Jesse during their lovemaking process. She was worried about Riley. She didn't know what was wrong but something must be. She needed to get the Metal girls to plug in at the infirmary and to access the vast medical database.

She remembered when Precious was born that any of the Terminators that were plugged into that medical database became the most skilled and proficient doctors on the planet. They would have access to every known medical procedure ever performed.

Claire hurried and arrived at Holly's room. She wasn't sure what to expect when the door opened.

She knocked.

There was no answer.

Claire thought maybe they were out. She tried the door handle. The door was open.

She slowly opened the door. The three Metal girls were all there 'together'.

Claire expected to see them naked sharing with each other. They weren't. She was surprised by that. She was even more surprised at what they were doing.

They were all still clothed and just 'standing' there.

Their eyes were open but they didn't blink.

Claire thought they looked 'dead'. Their faces were devoid of all expression.

She was about to touch Hanna when she saw it. There were a series of cables that linked all three Metal girls together. She noted there were spots for additional Terminators to 'plug in'. It was very highly unusual to actually see it. She was aware that sometimes Holly and Hanna would do that in the bunker when they shared sexually. Hanna told her that way they could experience what each of them experienced at the same time. It basically doubled the pleasure and made everything more intense. It made her think of her recent encounter with Jesse. She would have liked to experience what both of them experienced at the same time if she could. She needed to refocus.

Claire felt this was the most intense form of sharing that Terminators could experience, especially if they 'touched' each other. They didn't appear to have advanced that far along yet. That actually might be a good thing at this point. They would be able to respond to the infirmary quicker. She did know that if they were naked that it wouldn't bother them in the slightest to go to the infirmary like that to work on Riley.

"Hanna." Claire said. "I'm sorry to disturb you. Riley needs help."

Claire stepped back as the three Metal girls all blinked at the same time and started to move. Everything that they did they did the same. They all made the same movements at the same time.

"I'm sorry." Claire repeated. "Riley is at the infirmary, one of you needs to plug in to the medical database and check over her. I don't know what's wrong."

Hanna reached up to unplug from Holly and Cam.

Cam stopped her.

"We can all plug in together this way and give Riley better treatment." Cam said. "We will be like one individual with six hands and six eyes. We will be the ultimate doctor."

Claire told them all she knew as they walked toward the infirmary.

It was very strange for Claire to see them all walk in the same step. It was like they were one unit, not three separate ones.

They all entered the infirmary 'together'.

Allison watched Vanna nurse Precious and then switch breasts when she needed to. It was very beautiful to watch her long time lover look so content and happy. She could tell Vanna felt very special. She didn't think that she'd ever seen Vanna this elated and happy more than a few times that they'd been together.

Vanna was happy. For once she didn't hate the fact that she'd been born female. She was well aware that being born female was a curse in the future.

"This is the most special moment in my life." Vanna said softly with tears in her eyes. "I can actually help someone with my body for once. I'm proud to be a woman right now. It helps to make up for all the times I wished I wasn't.

Allison leaned down and gave Vanna a loving kiss. She wanted to be able to give Vanna more moments like this if possible going forward.

"I'll do whatever you want, Vanna." Allison said. "I can see how much this means to you."

Vanna understood that to mean that Allison would keep trying until she actually had a baby that they would share together.

"This is so beautiful, Allison." Vanna said. "I might need Jesse to take over soon. I don't think that I'm going to have enough."

Allison felt a little guilty about that. Maybe she shouldn't have 'worked' Vanna so hard earlier. She also knew that there might be an additional problem.

"Jesse might be low or out right now…." Allison said. "I sort of walked in on them…."

Vanna smiled at Allison. She knew what that was like.

"We did that earlier too…." Vanna said. "It all helps in the long run."

Allison was told that was the way to increase production. They just hadn't anticipated that Riley would dry up so fast. From what Riley indicated, instead of producing more, she continued to produce less as time went on. Vanna and Jesse reacted just the opposite of that. They reacted in the normal manner.

"It does stimulate production…." Allison said.

Vanna planned to have any female that was available work on her to get her production up. She wouldn't mind if it was Riley or Sarah. She would like it even more if it was Cameron who assisted her as well.

Riley was surprised to see the three Metal girls walk in together and do everything the same. She then noticed they were all 'connected together. She'd never seen that before, she'd only ever heard about it. She wondered how that would be to be connected to another individual like that. She thought how beautiful that would be if she could be connected to Derek like that as they shared together. That would most certainly be a wonderful and beautiful experience to be able to experience two different types of feeling at the same time. Then again they actually might be the same type of feeling just arrived at with two different types of 'equipment'. How much different could the 'feeling' be? Then again, she knew of the superiority of the female body to be able to experience multiple climaxes. Males finished once and were done.

They all greeted her at the same time and they all said the same things at the same time. Cam plugged a section of their cable into the computer interface.

Riley explained what she felt and her inability to lactate.

Claire watched as they asked questions while they checked Riley over.

Jesse watched the three Metal girls work as one.

"I don't know if this is the Hottest thing I've seen them do or the creepiest." Jesse said. "Either way, I am in if they want a 'four way'."

Claire didn't even need to think about that.

"Let's make it a five way." Claire said. "I just want to be a part of it."

Claire hoped they could make it a six way and Vanna could get in on it with them too. If nothing else, she would be happy with a three way with Jesse and Vanna both.

Ally closed on the spot where the box truck she followed left the paved road and entered onto a dirt road. She didn't want to do anything to raise suspicion or be noticed. If they sent an HK drone, she didn't want to be the target of it.

She kept driving at the same speed. She drove past where the box truck turned onto the dirt road. She did note it was a very well maintained dirt road.

In the distance she could see the dust cloud created by the box truck. Anyone else who followed them would create the same dust cloud and be spotted. That's unless they moved along very slowly. She wondered if that was the point of them taking that dirt road. Anyone who tried to tail them would give themselves away or need to travel so slowly they couldn't keep in contact.

John Henry had good news to report to Ally.

"The drones are about to enter the arena." John Henry said. "I mean our drones."

That was the news that Ally wanted to hear.

"Have our drones spotted anything yet?" Ally asked.

John Henry hadn't detected anything so far with the drones as they approached the target area.

"I have one headed for the projected path of the box truck and one is almost to your location." John Henry said. "No hostile HK drones have been detected."

John wanted to help ease her mind that nothing else has been detected near her or around her.

"Nothing else has been detected either." John said. "You don't have a tail."

Ally wanted to know if the box truck was in communication with where they were headed. That might give them a heads up as to the destination.

"Have they communicated with anyone?" Ally asked.

John Henry had been all over the communications in that area.

"There hasn't been anything that I've been able to detect." John Henry said.

Ally gave it some thought as she drove. She began to wonder if they weren't on a wild goose chase.

"Where does the dirt road lead to?" Ally asked. "I bet it ends back up at the railroad tracks or a spur track of some kind."

John Henry reviewed several satellite images.

"It does." John Henry said. "It all happens north of the city."

Ally thought she could make better time on the paved roads. It would certainly be less abusive on the vehicle.

"How long will it take me to get there if I continue to stay on this road and then backtrack at the next paved intersection that goes in that direction?" Ally asked.

John Henry ran a few calculations and looked over the drone images.

"If you speed some more and they stay at the same speed, you can actually get there before them." John Henry said. "They've slowed down. The dirt road isn't as well maintained where they are now."

John didn't want anybody to forget some important facts.

"We all need to remember there are Terminators involved in this as well. We also don't know for sure what the final destination is for sure." John said. "I'm looking at a drone image of your vehicle now, Ally."

Ally was in a relatively playful mood. She felt a little more secure with some drone backup.

"That was really thoughtful of John to remind me." Ally said. "Can you zoom in on my driver's side window?"

John Henry zoomed in with the drone's camera as Ally requested.

"Yes." John Henry said. "You now fill the entire screen."

As John and John Henry watched, Ally lifted up the side of her top and 'flashed' both of them.

"Sheila is a bad influence on her." John Henry whispered to John.

John thought about how they looked exactly like Cameron's breasts. They did share the same DNA after all. It at least added a little 'fun' to the roundabout chase they were on.

"We'll keep an eye on you on your longer route." John Henry said.

Ally let her top go back down.

"I can always flash you again when you feel bored." Ally said.

John actually liked that idea.

"I get bored easily and feel bored a lot." John said.

Ally thought of one way to accommodate them.

"I can drive topless like Sheila has." Ally said.

John didn't want to create any incidents or have the authorities involved.

"Let's not get pulled over or arrested." John said.

Ally really wasn't worried about that at all.

"I'll do it just for you anyway." Ally said.

Menagerie Of Madness

In beauty there is no truth
In truth there is no beauty
The slog through time is slow
As everyone does their duty

Everything around one
Can change in an instant
Even if one is persistent
Things can become distant

Is not to have
Really to want more
One may end up to abhor
When the goal was to adore

In anyone's tiny universe
Are they ever truly the master
As things happen faster and faster
The end result will surely be disaster

Events and time change people
What was once shared gladness
Soon fades and evaporates into sadness
Leaving behind a menagerie of madness

Nobody
