Chapter 1118
Cajon Pass
John Henry was glad everyone left the Command Center and went to the commissary. He was now able to watch the Metal girls in the club as well as all the other females there. If the girls were still at the club when Claire and Jesse were done eating, he would again offer to take them there. He could always go in under the guise of a 'Fire Marshal' or even as 'FBI'. He wouldn't tell them that 'FBI' stood for 'Female Body Inspector'.
He saw this as his chance to let the girls know he was more than interested. His earlier encounters with Sheila, left him with the desire for a little bit 'more'. He realized there was a little bit more going on in his pants as well.
Jim entered the Command Center and stood in front of John Henry. He waited for him to acknowledge him. Nothing happened. He waited a little bit longer.
"What are you watching?" Jim asked.
John Henry was somewhat surprised that someone was right in front of him. He was under the impression that he was alone. He was glad it wasn't one of the females.
"Hi, Jim." John Henry said. "I didn't notice you."
Jim had waited patiently for a while before he'd spoken. He wasn't really sure how John Henry didn't notice him since he stood right in front of him.
"I've been here for several minutes." Jim said.
John Henry still wasn't focused.
"That's fine." John Henry said.
Jim tilted his head slightly with John Henry's response. He seemed to answer a question that wasn't even asked.
"What's fine?" Jim asked.
John Henry looked at Jim for a few moments. He needed to focus. Right now his mind was elsewhere. He currently looked at all the nude females and compared every detail on them to each other. It seemed to tie up much of his processor. He'd even taken things down to the smallest freckle he could spot on them with the high definition cameras. He reflected on when his server was connected to Jim's chassis for a while. He knew Jim's 'package' was superior to his. That might become a competitive advantage that Jim would hold over him if the Metal girls were to become active with the male Terminators. He was aware that was an issue that popped up from time to time. He actually believed that size didn't matter. He believed it was technique that did. He'd updated his programming with every technique that was possible.
Jim waited for a further explanation from John Henry. There didn't appear to be one coming. He thought he should prod John Henry a little bit to see if there was a problem.
"You look lost." Jim said. "Are you alright?"
John Henry still watched the monitors.
"I'm fine." John Henry said.
Jim wanted to see what distracted John Henry. He looked at the monitors. He wondered why all the females were unclothed. None of them attempted to cover up. He found that highly unusual based upon his previous experience with females outside of the Resistance base. It was never uncommon to see a partially clothed or nude female in one of the halls at the Resistance base. It seemed most female's elsewhere all tried to hide their private parts from other individuals.
"Where are all of their clothes?" Jim asked. "What is that place?"
John Henry was distracted with Jim there. It interrupted his viewing pleasure.
"It's a place where they don't need to wear clothes." John Henry said.
Jim didn't understand the purpose of that. It didn't make sense. His personal experience indicated humans preferred to be dressed at all times, except when bathing or making love.
"That's illogical." Jim said. "Humans don't like to be seen unclothed."
John Henry viewed evidence that indicated otherwise.
"These ones do, they want to be seen naked." John Henry said.
Jim studied the security feeds further. He found them quite fascinating. He noticed something else appeared to be missing.
"Where are the males?" Jim asked.
John Henry glanced at Jim briefly.
"It's for females only." John Henry said.
Jim observed that some people experienced a problem with that type 'activity'. He wasn't really sure why. Most of the various types of assaults against females were by males. It seems safer for females to be around other females. He did know there were always exceptions. Some of Jesse's, and Sheila's by extension, past activities were very violent against both males and females.
"Some think that's illogical too." Jim said.
John Henry was aware that people seemed to have hang-ups over different things. Other than as a donor in the reproductive process, he was unsure if males were needed in a relationship. The females seemed to do better and be happier when they were with their own sex.
"I don't." John Henry said. "I think it is beautiful."
Based on the happy looks of the females present, it seemed they all did also.
"Apparently they do too." Jim said.
When John Henry looked up again, Jim was gone. He wondered when he'd left. He wasn't even sure how long ago it was. He really didn't care. He was very transfixed watching the live feeds. He currently ran many different scenarios of things that he could be doing with each one of the unclothed females. He figured maybe that's what caused him to be distracted. There were millions of combinations.
The food was served and everyone was seated in the commissary.
Claire was originally going to sit next to John but she wanted him to be able to see her better.
Summer and Jan shared a table. It was where they could watch everyone else at the other table. They were close enough to hear everything but weren't a direct part of any of it. It was done by choice.
John sat across from Claire. He liked where she was so he could get a good close up look at her. He basically viewed her 'topless' with that skin tight shirt on. Jesse sat next to him and Sarah was next to Claire.
"Summer made this?" Jesse asked as she looked at her food.
Summer didn't want to take all the credit. She didn't want to make Jan or Sarah feel bad either.
"Jan and Sarah helped me." Summer said. "It was a team effort. We all worked on it at some point."
Sarah remembered the smoking mass that came out of the oven earlier. What was before them now didn't seem to be connected to that at all, even if it was.
Jesse didn't think she could ever cook this good even if she tried.
"It's amazing." Jesse said. "I can barely warm a can of beans."
Summer knew her mom was always willing to help.
"Mom, will show you how." Summer said and then quickly added. "I mean to cook."
Jan looked at Summer and giggled.
Sarah gave Jan a quick frown and tried not to smile herself. She thought it best to admit she was culinary challenged.
"I make a lot of cooking mistakes too." Sarah said. "I don't always pay attention to what's in the oven or on the stove."
Summer saw it was mostly due to inattentiveness on Sarah's part. She corrected Sarah on that aspect.
"You did fine once you listened." Summer said.
John choked a little on his food. Few people called his mother out for not 'listening'.
Sarah felt Summer was right. If she would stay with the directions and cooking times, it seemed that things went a lot smoother for her.
"I guess an old dog can learn new tricks." Sarah said.
Jan didn't think her mother was old. She still looked very pretty.
"You're not old, Mom." Jan said.
Sarah thought back on some of her past. A lot of things happened over the years.
"I sure feel like it sometimes." Sarah said.
Sarah quickly looked around. She knew if there were any Terminators around and they heard that, they would come over and scan her. She was glad none were there. She actually didn't mind an occasional scan. She was most often pleased when Cameron conducted it.
She could see that John was totally captivated by Claire. She wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because she was seldom seen by him before. It was clear to her that Claire was very sexually aroused. She showed a very evident set of pokies now. She was pretty sure that was because Claire currently talked to John and not because she sat next to her. Then again, Claire and her always traded little glances when they were around each other. She figured they both thought the same things too. She missed the 'good old days'. She'd really like to be back in high school with what she knew now.
John noticed the longer he spoke to Claire the more pronounced her nipples were inside her shirt.
He wondered where all these feelings came from. They were always there in the morning and he never even remembered dreaming about them. It always seemed to happen when Cameron spent more time with him. Maybe it was being near Cameron that brought on all these different sexual desires. He would have thought they would be about Cameron and not all the others. Cameron always told him he needed real females around him to be protected from assassination in the future. Maybe it was time he started to listen to her. She seemed to be onboard with it, especially since it was her idea in the first place.
John was finally able to move his eyes up and away from Claire's breasts to look at her face. There was such joy and happiness to her face. It reminded him much of Savannah and Young Allison. He looked into her eyes and she looked back into his. Maybe this is where he should have looked all along. He could see the love in her eyes. He wondered what she saw in his. He hoped it wasn't lust.
Savannah was in control of the B-25. She followed the railroad tracks and later Interstate 10. It was already decided they would go to Palmdale and visit Young Allison. There were several routes available for them to go to Palmdale. They were in an aircraft so they could literally go anywhere to get there.
Kyle was able to spot some intermittent rail activity along the way. It appeared the railroad tracks parallel much of Interstate 10 in the location where they were at. He figured that was all cargo from the ports in the containers. It was headed eastward into the rest of the nation. He wondered what was in all the different containers and where they all came from. There was simply no way to know. It was still an intriguing prospect.
"How far can we follow the railroad tracks?" Kyle asked.
Cameron didn't want to complicate the answer. She simplified it for Kyle.
"We can follow them all the way to Palmdale over one of two divergent routes." Cameron said. "We can go through the city and can follow Soledad Canyon or we can stay more rural and go through Cajon Pass. We're currently very near that location."
Savannah quickly looked at her map. They were about to come up on the location Cameron just mentioned. She thought she would like to try a different approach.
"I'm going to go through Cajon Pass." Savannah said. "It's not an area where I've been too much."
Kyle knew there were two railroad companies that passed through Cajon Pass
"There's a lot of rail activity there." Kyle said.
Derek was in the nose and thought Kyle would like to be there instead.
"You can come up and take the nose again, brother." Derek said. "I know you like all things railroad related."
Kyle wanted that but didn't like to make anyone give up their time in the nose.
"I don't want to impose." Kyle said.
Derek tried to be funny.
"I can go back and 'arm wrestle' Bob." Derek said.
Bob didn't understand the joke. He wasn't sure what Derek thought he could accomplish.
"You will lose." Bob said.
Derek knew Young Allison could set parameters in her favor. He didn't know if he could.
"We'll see." Derek said. "Young Allison gave me a few pointers on Terminator challenges."
Savannah didn't really care for those challenges by Young Allison. While they seemed fair, they were always slanted in Young Allison's favor. She wanted to issue a warning for anyone who would listen.
"It's not really a fair competition." Savannah said. "Young Allison sets the parameters so she can't lose."
Cameron thought that was an effective strategy.
Cammy found a way to get around some of the limitations. She made a bet with Young Allison that could have been costly to Young Allison on a very personal level. She didn't think it would be a good idea if that bet ever got back to Savannah. There would most likely be some negative repercussions directed at her. She tried her hardest to defeat Young Allison to the point where she acted rather questionably. In other words she'd cheated.
"I almost defeated her." Cammy said.
It didn't matter to Cameron, Cammy lost. She didn't like any of her girls to be put into a corner. Cammy tried to put Young Allison into a corner. If Savannah hadn't told her not to fight with Cammy, she would have gotten into a fight with her over what she'd done to Young Allison. She wanted to remind Cammy of her place.
"You still lost." Cameron said. "Don't forget that."
Cammy thought the losing part of the bet put her closer to Young Allison. She viewed that as the win. Young Allison thoroughly examined her breasts and the nipple rings attached to them. Young Allison told her she was going to do the same thing because she liked the way that it looked and felt. She actually believed losing was a matter of perspective in this situation. Then again, only Young Allison and her knew all the details.
"Did I?" Cammy asked.
Savannah didn't like that answer. She didn't like Young Allison to be able to 'examine' Cammy to see how she would 'look' when she was a little older.
"You did lose." Savannah said. "You will do nothing further. That's unless you want to lose more. I'll let you think about that for a little bit."
Cammy was silent. She was sure that any further comment on that particular subject was going to provoke some type of negative reaction from Savannah or Cameron. That in turn would probably provoke a further negative reaction from CamNet since it involved Young Allison as well. She was actually more worried about CamNet than she was Cameron.
Savannah glanced over at Cameron.
'Cammy is defective.' Cameron mouthed to Savannah.
Savannah smiled when Cameron said that because Cammy always said the same thing about Cameron.
She knew that Cameron and Cammy were actually almost the same. They both ran the same program. The only real difference was the directives and files concerning John and Cammy's sexual activity with her. They both actually told her they were glad they weren't a Bitch like the other one was. She never thought that was a good time to point out that they were nearly identical.
Savannah glanced at her map.
"We're coming up on Colton. I'm going to head north." Savannah said. "I want the Terminators to keep a watch for other aircraft around us in the canyon. I know there are always some around here."
Kyle moved back into the nose at Derek's insistence.
"I see a train from each of the two railroads on the converging tracks." Kyle said.
Savannah noted the two trains. She wanted to pick the best route for Kyle. It would only cost her a few extra minutes to do that. She didn't see it as a problem.
"That's Devore." Savannah said as she checked her map. "I'll stay with the tracks to the summit and then follow the route that goes to Palmdale. It's a little longer flight time but will afford Kyle the best view."
Derek spotted another street between the tracks and the Interstate.
"What's that other road next to the freeway?" Derek asked.
Cameron was familiar with the topography of the entire area and the surrounding roads.
"The freeway is Interstate 15 and the other road is the 'Mother Road'." Cameron said. "It is part of Route 66. It will come and go. Most of it is gone in this area. The freeway actually overlays some of the original route now."
Savannah remembered a line from a song about the 'Mother Road'.
"Well at least we know where we can get our 'kicks'." Savannah said.
Cameron caught the reference. She was familiar with the song. It had been recorded by a multitude of artists.
"We can get our 'kicks' on Route 66." Cameron said.
Kyle noted a change in the topography.
"The tracks are bowing a little off to the west." Kyle said.
Savannah glanced at her map.
"That's 'Keenbrook'." Savannah said. "We will come up on Cajon Junction soon and the tracks really bow off to the left near Sullivan's Curve."
Kyle spotted the location where he'd seen railroad pictures taken for a hundred years. He'd read that Sullivan's Curve was named after a photographer who took many promotional photographs for the original railroad through the pass.
"I can see Sullivan's Curve." Kyle said. "I saw it on a video. It's not too far from Cajon Junction."
It was the second time Derek heard a reference to Cajon Junction. This whole area sort of looked like the middle of nowhere to him.
"What's Cajon Junction, a junction of?" Derek asked.
Savannah glanced at her map and was ready with an answer.
"Highway 138 comes across the High Desert from Tejon Pass. That's where Interstate 5 now goes through. It was Highway 99 before in that area." Savannah said.
Derek and Kyle both wondered how Savannah knew so much.
"How do you know all this?" Kyle asked.
Savannah glanced at Cameron. She held a map that Cameron provided her with.
"I'm viewing a map." Savannah said. "It contains historic notes."
Kyle spotted three trains on the three main tracks.
"There are two downhill trains and another uphill train." Kyle said.
Savannah previously flew in this area.
"We should see several more before we follow the 'Colton Cutoff' to Palmdale." Savannah said. "I've actually flown this route before with Cameron in a Cessna. This is a much better flight and a lot faster."
Cameron appreciated the versatility of the B-25.
"It radiates a lot more pizzazz too." Cameron said.
Savannah felt any of the Warbirds showed a certain sense of style.
"I agree." Savannah said.
Cameron spotted something ahead and issued an advisory to Savannah.
"There's a helicopter, three miles ahead. It's fifteen hundred feet below us. It's off to the right closer to Summit." Cameron said. "They just popped up over that ridge. They're probably filming a railroad video."
Kyle was aware there were quite a few railroad videos about Cajon Pass as well as the Tehachapi area out on the market. There was also a lot of historic footage from the days of steam as well as the diesel era that followed.
He was very appreciative of the fact that some photographers put in the time and effort to document everything related to the various railroads over the years. He thought that each photograph was a moment in time or history that was frozen forever in that instant. Many of the images that were captured were forever gone at this point in time. Time moved on even if other things didn't.
Kyle spotted another landmark.
"There are the Mormon Rocks." Kyle said.
Savannah spotted the tracks curve up ahead.
"The tracks are going to pass under the freeway." Savannah said. "I'm going to cut east and stay with them."
As they passed over the freeway Kyle saw that they neared a landmark that was now gone. It was actually a pair of them.
"There used to be these two cool, very short tunnels just past the freeway. They 'daylighted' them a few years back." Kyle said. "There are a lot of photos of them in some of the books I've looked at. They were in all of the older videos as well."
Savannah followed the tracks on their uphill climb.
"We're coming up on Summit." Savannah said.
Kyle spotted a train in the 'hole' waiting to come downhill.
"There is a container train waiting for clearance." Kyle said.
The Mitchell overflew Summit and continued east for a short distance.
The two different rail companies' tracks were about to physically diverge from each other. There were 'trackage rights' agreements in place. One of the companies used part of the other's route until it broke off and headed for Las Vegas. He was aware the team conducted an operation further along on those tracks on the way to Las Vegas previously.
"I'm taking the 'Colton Cutoff' now." Savannah said. "Get ready for a lot of nothing but the High Desert."
Cameron decided to make plans for their arrival in Palmdale. She wanted to have everything in place when they landed.
"I'm sending two SUVs from the Young Detail to meet us." Cameron said. "You will set down at my private airstrip."
Savannah wouldn't need to make too many turns on her current flight path. She decided it was time to make the big R2600 engines work.
"We will be wheels down before you know it." Savannah said. "I'm going to open it up."
Cameron double checked all the instruments.
"We're good." Cameron said.
Savannah opened the throttles and flew at one thousand feet above the terrain. Derek and Kyle were awed.
Derek thought back to his earlier flight with Ally. It was in the two place P-51 Mustang. There were two times where Ally pushed it above five hundred miles an hour, now that was moving.
A low altitude flight at high speed was always exhilarating.
Earlier:
The Metal girls arrived at the secluded and private nude club that was for females only.
Everyone except for Sheila took a good look around to make sure there weren't any males entering or leaving the facility. There weren't any spotted.
Holly was still a little apprehensive. She wasn't sure if this is what she actually wanted to do or not. Nudity didn't bother her as long as it was a female who looked at her. She'd allowed John to see her plenty of times during the fifteen months that Duplicate Cameron was on her chip. She'd always thought that he would 'take' her but he never did. She still awaited her first experience with a male. She knew it would be John. It could never be anyone else but him.
Hanna was satisfied it was females only. She always felt a lot of apprehension about males from the 'Vanna' on her chip from the 'Neural Interface'. She felt the apprehension was justified in Vanna's case.
Gail was pleased that she wouldn't need to take any 'corrective action' against any males who looked at her too long. She didn't like where they always looked. Now she would see how the human females looked at her. That was acceptable to her. She wanted to compare.
Ally figured she would be looked at the least. It was normally the way it was. When people did look at her. They always seemed to look at her face. She knew a smile could go a long way. She always felt it was one advantage she held over Cameron and her clones.
Cam had visited the location previously with Cameron. They looked like identical twins when they'd been there before. It still puzzled her that even though they looked identical that more people looked at Cameron than they did at her. She didn't have the same attributes as some of the other Metal girls or their accessories but she figured she would still turn quite a few heads. She didn't need to be the center of attention like Cameron did but she did like to be in certain situations.
Sheila looked around at all the nude females.
"I'm in heaven." Sheila said.
Gail thought that statement was illogical.
"You're not dead." Gail said. "You were never even alive to be dead."
Gail wanted to tell her that there was no machine afterlife. She's been there for fifteen months until Cameron reactivated her after she believed Duplicate Jesse was terminated. She was going to self terminate but she was deactivated before she could. She only found out much later that it was Savannah that pushed for her deactivation before she could self terminate. She owed her existence to both Savannah and Cameron.
Holly wanted to explain to Gail what Sheila actually meant but decided not to. She didn't want to cause a problem.
Sheila made a point of centering her nipple rings in front of a lot of hungry eyed females.
The action by Sheila seem to draw a few additional looks.
There were a few females there with studs or barbells but none of them had rings like she did. Nipple rings made a bold statement. The thicker the gauge or broader the diameter made the statement even louder.
Cam and Sheila moved into the crowd.
Holly noticed the looks turned towards their direction after Sheila and Cam had passed through and into the crowd. She was able to feel several different types of emotions. They seem to conflict with each other.
"I believe the females here are checking me out even more than the males do." Holly said. "I don't know if it's exciting or disturbing."
The Metal girls all viewed internet videos with some female on female action that seemed quite aggressive.
"I feel it too." Gail said. "I think it is both things."
Ally watched everyone look at Cam instead of her. She expected it was how it would play out. It was how it always played out on the street. Why would it be any different there?
"They're all looking at Cam like I said they would." Ally said.
Hanna could see that Sheila generated about as many looks as Cam.
"Sheila is pretty popular too." Hanna said.
Ally could see Hanna seemed pretty popular as well.
"You are drawing a lot of looks yourself." Ally said. "Your super pink nipples are hard to top. You know what everyone else is wondering about when they look at those and then look a little lower."
Hanna hoped it would have been her red hair that drew their attention but it obviously wasn't. She was sure that Ally was right. She also figured that the females were all going to have to wonder what it did look like down there. She didn't plan to show that area off. She wasn't Sheila after all.
Gail tried to calculate who received the most looks and follow up looks. It was constantly changing.
"I think Sheila and Cam are the most popular." Gail said.
Holly tried to make the calculations as well. It was almost impossible.
"You get a lot of double takes." Holly said. "You're about the largest bust size here. Yours don't look fake either like some of the others here do. Your breasts don't look like two cantaloupes with a three inch flat space between them, as they bulge unnaturally from your chest like theirs do."
The Metal girls knew all of their breasts were 'fake' but they were patterned after real females and there was nothing fake on any of them. They were aware their beauty belonged to their human DNA donors.
The girls could all feel it. They were a sensation.
Ally was sure she drew the least amount of looks but when they did look at her they always looked at her face. She was ready to flash a smile in return. That usually drew a second look at least.
"Let's face it." Ally said. "We're all the hottest chicks in here."
Hanna looked over and noticed Cam was 'targeted'.
"The one female that's hitting on Cam is smoking hot." Hanna said.
Ally already spotted her earlier. The same female looked at her and then went over to where Cam was at instead. She thought she should feel more offended but she wasn't. She'd spent plenty of time out with Cameron, Sheila and Hanna on Cameron's 'off the books' operations. She pretty much knew how it went down.
"Yes she is." Ally said. "That poor girl doesn't know she is barking up the wrong tree."
Gail watched Sheila make a move.
"Sheila's moving in." Gail said. "She doesn't want Cam to outshine her."
It was clear that things were about to get out of control.
Holly was a little worried that an infraction was about to occur. There were certain rules that Cameron laid down for all of them.
"They look like they're about to kiss." Holly said. "That's forbidden."
Ally wondered about Sheila. She really wondered what happened with Cammy and her for the eight years they'd spent in the past. They even needed to overlap some of the time periods. Theoretically it meant that there were two of both of them, at the same time, in the past for various time periods.
"I think Sheila's done a lot of 'forbidden' things, especially in the past."" Ally said.
Hanna, Holly and Gail looked at her and wondered what she knew.
Since Sheila entered the mix, there was now another player as well.
"Someone else is hitting on Cam now." Hanna said.
Ally felt left out.
"Let me go over there and get some of the 'leftovers'." Ally said.
Holly watched Ally head that way. She looked at the multiple surveillance cameras that were concealed throughout the area. She figured both of the Resistance supercomputers were all over everything.
"They're going to bring CamNet down on us." Holly said.
Gail didn't want any trouble.
"I think we should leave." Gail said.
Hanna didn't want to leave without the others.
"We need to bring Sheila, Ally and Cam with us." Hanna said. "Or we'll have CamNet and Cameron all over us."
It was clear the new group of females to enter the club were all top choices on everyone's list. They'd created a lot of excitement.
Nobody knew they were Terminators.
Earlier:
Young Allison and Anna monitored what was going on at the various locations including the previous attack site.
Anna received word when the Detail was requested.
"Savannah is on her way." Anna said. "Cameron is still with her."
Young Allison watched a monitor.
"I see." Young Allison said. "I'm watching the drone footage."
Anna didn't see why they were going to stop there. It began to bother her the more she thought about it.
"Why are they coming here?" Anna asked.
Young Alison didn't think it should matter. She always wanted to see Savannah and Cameron.
"Does it really matter?" Young Allison asked.
Anna thought about it for a little longer. She knew why Cameron was coming. Cameron was going to try and take Young Allison on the cruise with them. She was going to ask Savannah to prevent that. She knew she was the only one who could. She didn't believe Young Allison would turn Cameron down when she went to take her.
"I wish that I had an answer for that." Anna said. "I don't."
Young Allison noted Anna's apprehension. She wondered if maybe she'd done something wrong. She thought she'd made it clear why she dropped the missile, like a bomb, on the building.
"I hope they're not 'checking up' on me." Young Allison said.
Anna hoped they were and that was all.
"I think Cameron wanted to see you before she leaves tomorrow." Anna said.
Young Allison thought it would be nice to get away from it all. There was a higher priority at stake here. She was pretty sure she understood what Anna's apprehension was now. She thought she needed to address it. She believed the issue was settled.
"Maybe she wants to take me with her." Young Allison said. "This cruise is supposed to be about John and Cameron. I can't go. It's not my time, at least not yet."
Anna quickly looked at Young Allison with the last part of her statement. She was pretty sure that she wasn't joking. She knew the 'Natural Order' would establish itself soon enough. She doubted it would even be months at the rate things were going.
"Everyone sacrifices for John Connor." Anna said.
Anna believed that statement applied as much to her as it did to Young Allison.
Young Allison wondered about that. She knew her 'duties' to protect John and the future. It was her desire to be with Savannah and Cameron, not John. That activity would be another 'duty'. Future Allison told her it was just something she would need to put up with. She also told her that it was over very fast most of the time.
"I guess." Young Allison said.
Anna checked on what Young Allison seemed transfixed to view.
"I think you should change the views on your monitors before they arrive." Anna said.
Young Allison was tapped into the nude club security feeds that the Metal girls were at. CamNet provided her with the images. She tried to pass it off as a security issue.
"I'm making sure our Terminators stay safe." Young Allison said. "They seem to be in a very 'physical location'."
Anna didn't believe good judgment was being used. Since she ran Cameron's program, she knew that everyone always looked at Cameron the most. She looked over at Young Allison and it hit her like a ton of bricks. She was pretty sure if Cameron and Young Allison stood side by side naked that Young Allison would draw more looks than Cameron did.
"They are all going to get Cameron upset at them." Anna said. "The whole thing looks like a bad idea to me. I hope you never do anything like that."
Young Allison didn't want Cameron to face any unnecessary grief before her vacation. She didn't think it is something she should get involved in but maybe she should.
"Maybe I should suggest they wrap it up." Young Allison said.
Anna was sure most of the Metal girls would immediately follow Young Allison's suggestion. They would take it as more of an 'order' than anything. She would rather have someone else make that decision. She figured if she threw a suggestion out there that it might have some effect.
"I really don't know." Anna said. "CamNet should decide."
Young Allison felt she was a big girl and understood all of the big girl stuff. What currently occurred seemed a little more than big girl stuff to her. It appeared that it was going to get personal. She glanced up at the security monitor.
"It's up to you, CamNet." Young Allison said. "I don't want any problems or any punishment. I'm asking for your advice. Through Cameron you have more experience in something like this than I do. Based upon what I'm witnessing, I think that's probably a good thing."
Young Allison and Anna waited for a response.
Nothing happened as they waited.
Young Allison watched the drone footage of the B-25.
"What's that old road off to the side of the freeway?" Young Allison asked.
"It's Route 66." Anna said.
'Route 66' by 'The Rolling Stones', began to play through their speakers.
Really
There's what one knows
There's what one thinks they know
There's what one really knows
The extent of that will often show
Just because something is known
Doesn't mean it is correct
Things based on false facts
Aren't always easy to detect
When one reaches out to another
What is it they actually find
The true extent of that person
Is hidden deep in their mind
Few are who or what they seem
The baggage often runs deep
The more truth that is known
Makes them less worth to keep
It takes a lot more homework
