Chapter 1150

Lover And Protector

Young Allison was aware she needed to get the ball rolling. The clock was running and the ship was on a schedule. Cammy and Savannah's operation was already under way. It would be a challenge for her to get people lined up for the ship and follow Savannah's operation. Doing two or more things was how she'd trained for years. She didn't think it would be a problem. She actually welcomed the challenge.

She decided to stack the deck while she was at it and cover all the bases. She wanted to make sure that Savannah and Cammy were protected. She was willing to go to any extent to make sure it happened.

"I want you and CamNet to act instantly if anything needs to be done to help, assist or protect Savannah and Cammy." Young Allison said. "I want you to bypass John Henry if necessary. I don't want anyone to think about it or talk about it. I want it done immediately. If they need help, they need help. Nothing will change that. Make sure they get the help instantly."

Anna planned to do that anyway. She felt she knew what Young Allison wanted at this point. It was still nice to have the approval. It always worried her a little whenever Young Allison gave CamNet the power to do anything that needed to be done. There were a multitude of extreme measures that CamNet could take in order to do that. So far with a blanket order like that, CamNet hadn't acted too extreme.

"It will be so." Anna said. "All your previous information has been relayed."

Young Allison thought about the order she needed to deal with the people in so that everything was covered with a smooth transition. Her primary concern was going to be Precious and her well being. Everything else would be based off of that.

"I need to talk to Vanna first." Young Allison said. "Then I need to speak with Riley."

John and Cameron waited for their desserts in the main dining room.

The waiter set the three desserts down and asked if they wanted anything else.

John told him they were good. It was all they were going to have. They thanked him and the waiter left.

John looked at the desserts and offered to let Cameron try what she wanted.

"Which one do you want to try first?" John asked.

Cameron looked at the mousse.

"This one, it looks like ice cream but is darker and fluffier." Cameron said.

John was pleased with Cameron's selection. He'd only ever tried mousse a few times before himself. It had been so long, he didn't even remember when.

"That's the chocolate mousse." John said.

Cameron tried a small bite. Multiple warnings went off in her HUD. The sugar content was extremely high. She was sure John would like it. It seemed the more warnings the food John consumed set off, the more John enjoyed the food.

"It's very sweet and rich." Cameron said.

Cameron moved the chocolate mousse in front of John.

"Which one would you like to try next?" John asked.

Cameron examined the small pastry that the waiter brought. She was more intrigued by its construction than whatever taste it would deliver to her.

"I can try the Napoleon pastry." Cameron said. "It looks interesting."

Cameron moved her fork against it. She could see the entire pastry start to move and bend a little.

"It's very delicate and flaky." Cameron said.

Cameron tried a small bite. It didn't set off many more warning in her HUD than any other dessert did.

"It's fine." Cameron said.

Cameron moved the Napoleon in front of John. He'd just finished the chocolate mousse.

She noticed the old couple look at her again. She was still in a good mood. She smiled at them. They quickly looked away.

Cameron moved the ice cream over in front of her. It was strawberry flavored. She tried a small taste of it.

"This has real strawberries in it." Cameron said. "I don't believe there are any artificial ingredients in it. It's very high quality ice cream."

John thought about his earlier exchange with the waiter when he'd ordered the dessert items. He was able to learn a few interesting facts about what went inside of the galley.

"The waiter told me they make it on the ship." John said. "He said there's a galley tour a few times on the voyage. I would like to see how they do everything."

Cameron didn't think it would be a problem. Since she was listed as the top VIP on the ship, as the owner's daughter, she was aware of a number of opportunities were available to them.

"We have total ship access at any time, even on the bridge as guests of the 'owners'." Cameron said. "Bob will be our escort to go any place we want at any time. That's once we're at sea. There are certain port rules they must obey. I can have CamNet 'officially' change them if necessary."

John didn't want to alter the Homeland Security procedures for their benefit only.

"Let's not do that." John said. "I don't want something to happen later on and it ends up being our fault."

Cameron specifically thought about their voyage and how things would apply to them. She hadn't intended for them to be permanent.

"CamNet can always change them back as necessary." Cameron said.

John wondered what CamNet couldn't do at this point. He didn't want to create an issue and ask.

Cameron tried one small bite of the strawberry ice cream before she set it in front of John.

The old couple was finished and they got up to leave. Cameron thought about saying something to them but decided not to. She didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention to John. It would be a different story if she was alone.

She didn't like all the attention they paid to her. She was glad it was her and not John they seemed fixated on. She really wondered what it was all about.

She watched them leave through the main entrance. They both looked at her again before they went out of view.

John looked at Cameron. He could see where things were headed. He was sure that Cameron viewed the encounter as some type of veiled challenge or confrontation. He wanted to remind her they were on vacation. There didn't need to be any terminations on a vacation.

"Let it go." John said. "It's not a big deal and no harm was done."

Cameron turned around and looked back at John. She didn't believe she'd acted in an aggressive manner.

"I didn't say anything." Cameron said.

John watched the Terminator coldness creep in.

"You didn't have to." John said. "I've seen that look before. It doesn't end well for those you look at like that."

Cameron smiled at John. She really didn't want to get into a discussion about some of her past events. She figured if things headed in that direction, she would need to remind John about some of his past actions as well. She was aware how nervous he became whenever that occurred.

"I'm fine." Cameron said.

Cameron would have Bob check them out and give her their room number. If they were a threat, they would never show as having arrived at the cruise terminal or gotten on the ship. The Pacific Ocean was vast and deep. Maybe she would ask Bob to bring her some heavy chain. It was a thought that previously crossed her mind.

John finished the ice cream and they got up to leave.

Cameron checked around before they headed out. There were a multitude of options that were available to them once they left the main dining room. She wasn't really sure what John would like to do first.

"Do you want to take the stairs or the elevator?" Cameron asked.

John touched his full belly. He looked at the elevator and the stairway behind it.

"After having consumed about three thousand calories in just over an hour. I'd have to say the stairs." John said.

Holly heard what John said and started up the stairs ahead of them. They were about thirty seconds behind her but she was already gone from view.

Gail watched Holly head out and waited thirty seconds after John and Cameron started up the stairs to follow. There was no one else around who was going to take the stairs. She closed up to one floor below them for the rest of the journey.

Cameron wanted to give John a few more choices before they returned to their suite.

"Do you want to hit the buffet again?" Cameron asked as they neared their floor.

John looked over at Cameron. He wondered if she'd just made a joke. He could see Cameron was serious. There were quite a few more items he would have liked to have tried. There was only so much he could eat in a given amount of time. There was something else that needed to be considered as well.

"You said dinner was only a few hours away." John said.

Cameron wondered if they should have checked the dinner menu before they left the main dining room. It would have given John a better idea of what would be available to him later on.

"It will be in five and a half hours." Cameron said.

It seemed like a lot of time to kill to John. He figured he could knock off a quickie with Cameron but that wasn't going to take much time. He still wanted to see everything on the ship.

"Maybe we can look around the ship some." John said. "I'd like to see everything firsthand."

Cameron figured there'd be plenty of time for that later on. There was something else she wanted to take care of first. John was on a strict timetable when it came to love making for them.

"Not so fast." Cameron said.

John wondered why not. Maybe it was a security risk.

Cameron wanted John to share with her first. She thought maybe she should present the idea in more ways than one.

"You still need to burn off some of those calories. I think it should be done in our suite bedroom." Cameron said. "You still owe me four more times today. I plan to collect."

John smiled. He was ready for a little action. He just didn't want to stretch it out. Well, some things would stretch out but he didn't want to stretch out the time duration.

"I don't think it will be a problem and there will still be three more to go." John said.

Cameron expected John to knock off two happy endings. There were a few other things they would need to take care of as well.

"When you get it down to two we can look around the ship and watch the 'sail away' party." Cameron said. "There will be a lifeboat drill too."

John didn't like all the exposure it sounded like with everyone confined to few small areas. He hoped they wouldn't have to attend the lifeboat drill.

"Is that necessary?" John asked. "Won't there be a lot of people around us? I'm pretty sure you can get us out of it."

Cameron saw it as a safety issue for John. If there was some problem with the ship, she wanted to make sure that he would be able to get off of it safely.

"It's better safe than sorry." Cameron said. "Remember, I don't swim."

John could picture Cameron walking on the ocean floor to get back to dry land. He wondered how long it would take. He was aware the ship didn't move that far away from land. He wondered if they only moved far enough off the coast so they could open the casino.

"I'm sorry." John said. "Women and children first, it is."

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She didn't see it that way at all. It was John first and everyone else after him. She would make sure he was on a lifeboat even if she had to physically remove other people from it. She wouldn't have any second thoughts about any males. She would to be selective in the females that she needed to remove. If they appeared to have children, she wouldn't throw them overboard. She recalled the scenes of several ships sinking from movies that she'd viewed. She figured it would be best if she would study the launch procedure for the lifeboats. As soon as John was onboard, she would go ahead and initiate the process. More than likely there would be other Terminators with her at that point. They would commandeer the lifeboat and move it to safety. John would be protected.

They spotted Holly ahead of them go into the private access area where their luxury suites were located.

John looked behind them and Gail followed them from about ten cabins back. He briefly wondered if the guests in the Master Suite were the older couple that seemed to stare at Cameron. He sure hoped they weren't for their sake. It would be like serving up their own terminations on a silver platter to her.

"I'm glad you have control of the guests in the Master Suite." John said. "I'm glad it's not that old couple."

Cameron looked over at John and smiled. He still didn't know that Gail and Holly were the guests in the Master Suite. If Young Allison was able to get some more of the Resistance team members to come on board, it would soon be a different couple.

"I wouldn't worry about them…." Cameron said.

With that statement, John was worried. He was worried for the old couple. He didn't see any threat from them. Maybe Cameron would view it differently. He really hoped not. It still made him wonder what was up with them. Cameron obviously caught their attention somehow. He figured it was from a personal contact at some point. It was possible they'd witnessed her in action previously. He sure hoped that wasn't the case.

Young Allison wanted to get things started for the rest of the team. She called Vanna and ran the idea by her about what needed to be done. Vanna was thrilled and on board. The thought of having Precious all to herself for one or two days made her very happy. It would be like she was a real mother at that point.

Young Allison was surprised at how Vanna seemed more excited about not going on the voyage and being able to take care of Precious. She was pretty sure that all of the other people would have looked at it just the opposite way. She thought they all would have liked to have gone on the voyage and not be left behind at the Resistance base. She liked Vanna's resolve and commitment.

Vanna thought if she was lucky, Riley would stay all week on the ship. It didn't sound like it would be for more than a few days.

"I'll do everything for the one or two days they're gone." Vanna said. "They can stay longer if they want. I won't mind tending to Precious if they want to have a good time for a few more days."

Now that Vanna was on board it was time to ask Riley.

"I still need to speak with Riley and Derek." Young Allison said. "I just wanted to make sure that you would be OK with taking care of Precious first."

Vanna thought she could assist Young Allison. She also believed she might have more influence to get Riley and Derek to stay on the ship longer. She hoped if they heard it directly from her that they would see and understand it wasn't a problem.

"I can do it if you want." Vanna said.

Young Allison thought Vanna could expedite things with Sarah and Kyle. She was worried it might be a touchy situation with them. She wasn't sure how her age would play in as a factor with them.

"I'll speak with Riley." Young Allison said. "You can find Sarah and Kyle and see what they want to do. I'd appreciate that. See what they want to do with Jan. She can stay with Summer and my mom if they want to be alone."

Vanna didn't really want to mention it to Young Allison but she wanted to get it out there as another option. She didn't want Claire or Jesse to get shortchanged either.

"Allison and I can watch Jan and Summer." Vanna said. "Jesse and your mother may want to go on one segment. I believe it's something that should be offered to them. If I'm here with Precious, there's no reason that Jesse needs to be as well."

Young Allison could tell Vanna was a little uneasy. She decided to make her position clear. She wanted her mother to have happiness and love.

"I know what everyone does. You might want to spend a day with her too." Young Allison said. "I don't have a problem with any of it. I think it's beautiful that people can share with the ones they love."

Young Allison was about to mention she looked forward to the day when she could do the same things. She held her tongue.

Vanna felt more comfortable now. Allison previously told her Young Allison knew everything about everyone.

"It's beautiful." Vanna said.

Young Allison knew her future and she planned to do everything Savannah experienced. She knew what Vanna's dream would be one day.

"Especially since there are several variations of the same people, I look forward to that." Young Allison said. "The future will be beautiful, for all of us."

There was a long pause as Vanna reflected on the implications of what Young Allison just said.

Young Allison saw her shot fired over the bow, hit home instead.

"Are you still there?" Young Allison asked.

Vanna decided to watch her weight and maybe start some skin care products. Maybe she would look into some plastic surgery too. They could make her scar go away. This might be the motivating factor to do it. She suddenly wanted to look younger. It would be a dream come true to her. it would almost be like she could relive a segment of her life over again. she really wished that she could for real. she would take what she could get. She wasn't about to turn down any offer like that.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought." Vanna said. "I'll track down Sarah and Kyle."

Young Allison wanted to speed things along.

"Thank you for helping me." Young Allison said. "I'll call Riley."

Vanna really wanted to track down Allison right now…. It wasn't going to be 'Allison' either as they shared this time. She was going to think a little younger.

Young Allison hadn't dealt much with Riley over the years. She'd always been sociable when she was around her.

She decided to get straight down to business. She gave Riley a call and ran the proposal by her. Riley's decision would determine what happened with the other Resistance members.

There was some hesitation on Riley's part about Precious at first. She explained to Riley that everything was covered two times over.

Riley was still a little hesitant.

"Riley, you know Precious will be in good hands." Young Allison said. "I want you to consider the bigger overall picture here. This will be an opportunity for you and Derek to re-establish your closeness and bond."

Riley was more than a little surprised with Young Allison's statement. It caught her off guard. She was more than aware their relationship had become strained more than it seemed it needed to be. They'd done some work recently to bridge some of those gaps. There still seem to be plenty of them.

She was a little concerned about how much Young Allison seemed to know.

"Maybe Derek and I could use a few days together." Riley said. "I just don't know how big of an imposition we would be on the other couples."

Young Allison didn't think they would be much of an imposition at all. The suites were very large and the ship was gigantic. From what Cameron indicated the different couples wouldn't even need to interact with each other unless they wanted to.

"There's plenty of room for everyone and there's plenty of privacy for everyone." Young Allison said. "I want you to know that John is the one who requested that his family and other team members come along on the adventure with them. It's something to think about. Cameron reaffirmed everything that John requested. Nothing will be a problem for anyone."

Riley wondered what it would be like to get away from it all for a few days. A few weeks ago she would have done anything to escape for a few days. Now that everything had settled down, she really wasn't so sure. Everything was working smoothly. She needed to remember it was all Cameron's doing as well. Cameron was the greatest. She watched over her and she watched over Precious and made sure she was provided for.

They carried on the conversation for a little while longer.

"I'm sold on the idea." Riley said. "I need to run everything by Derek and make sure that he agrees to everything as well."

Young Allison glanced over towards Anna quickly.

"I'm sure you can think of a few ways to make him agreeable to your desires." Young Allison said. "It's a gift that all females possess."

There was a slight pause and then Riley giggled.

They wrapped up the phone call.

Cammy received some updates. She wanted to find the homeless man. She was presented with several new options. She glanced at Savannah.

"It's been suggested that instead of us going through the crawlway first to look for the intruder, we can do something else and see if they'll come to us." Cammy said.

Tight spaces still bothered Savannah. It was her time in the mine and then the section of metal tubing as part of it she almost died in. She remembered thinking she was going to die there. Cameron and Cammy were both there with her at the time. She'd accepted her fate. They were rescued instead.

"It sounds like a good idea." Savannah said. "I want to use the option that poses the least amount of risk to you."

Cammy looked at the electrical cabinet. She was given a suggestion as to what to do.

"We'll turn off the breakers and cut off the power. Hopefully someone will come to see what went wrong." Cammy said. "They seemed to know what to do in the first place to turn it on."

Savannah wondered if Young Allison made the call. They were all fresh ideas. Young Allison seemed to be pretty good at coming up with them.

"I just started to think about that." Savannah said. "I wonder if Young Allison was behind this idea. She's as sharp as a tack."

Savannah was aware when they went on any type of operation that they tended to do the same things. It was something she was warned about in her training as well. It was easy to form habits. They'd encountered plenty of opposition where the enemy forces were complacent and didn't take their job seriously. Nothing ever happened so after a while they always thought nothing ever would. That wasn't always the case.

Cammy looked for a place for them to hide when the man came to investigate. She didn't want to be spotted right away. She didn't want to be shot at and she didn't want to have to pursue the man into the unknown if he retreated.

"I think we can conceal ourselves over there." Cammy said. "I want him to completely exit the crawl space before we're spotted."

Cammy pointed at some storage cabinets.

Savannah hoped there'd be no shooting. The electrical room was actually pretty tight quarters. A gun battle in such a confined space was bound to be messy. It had been her decision earlier not to wear their vests or bring long guns with them. She'd wanted to look like two teenage girls out for a walk, not someone on a combat patrol.

"Remember, we don't have our vests on." Savannah said.

Cammy planned to shield Savannah with her chassis. She would prefer not being shot at either. Cosmetic damage was always unpleasant to look at. Savannah never allowed it to be an issue. She was very appreciative of that.

"I don't want to lose a nipple or the breast it's attached to." Cammy said. "I'll use caution. You get into place first and I'll be in front of you."

Savannah smiled at Cammy.

"You're my lover and protector." Savannah said.

'For now', Cammy thought. She knew that Cameron would soon be the one to fill both of those roles. The 'Natural Order' was unstoppable. She really wondered what her fate was going to be.

"Always…." Cammy said with a smile.

She believed the term 'always' would be more accurate than 'forever'. Forever was a long time.

Savannah squeezed in between two storage cabinets. She was ready.

"Cut the juice." Savannah said.

Cammy flipped the master breaker and the room went black. The faint electrical hum died away.

Cammy backed up against Savannah. She felt Savannah hands search out her breasts and they cupped over them.

"I want to make sure you don't lose anything." Savannah said.

Cammy wanted Savannah protected.

"It's better I lose a nipple than you lose a finger." Cammy said. "I can always get a new one if it won't regenerate. Thanks for the gesture."

Savannah slowly withdrew her hands from Cammy's breasts. She made sure she gave them a gentle squeeze before she did.

Cammy backed up a little into Savannah until she could feel her breasts firmly against her back. She wanted Savannah's breasts protected too. She also needed to protect Vanna's baby that Savannah carried. The human girls with functioning reproductive tracts were considered high value targets to protect to all of the Terminators.

It was soothing to Cammy to feel Savannah's heart beat. It was so rhythmic and smooth. She noticed it quickened some as Savannah pressed tighter into her. She understood the life that it represented. In Savannah's case, it actually represented two lives.

They both waited in the darkness.

They both thought of things they often did together in the darkness.

They both needed to remain alert as well.

Young Allison thought about what she'd just heard.

"That was an interesting conversation." Young Allison said.

Anna wondered how so. Everything seemed fine.

"Do you mean the conversation with Riley or Vanna?" Anna asked.

Young Allison smiled.

"No, those both went smoothly." Young Allison said. "I meant the one between Savannah and Cammy."

Anna thought CamNet overstepped some.

"It was a private conversation." Anna said. "CamNet knows better than that."

Young Allison found it somewhat enlightening. It really wasn't much different from some of the things she heard around the house anyway. It seemed that Allison and her mother had quite a few things to say to Holly and Hanna as well.

"It was no big deal." Young Allison said. "You heard what Riley said?"

Anna overheard most of the conversation.

"Yes." Anna said. "That wasn't private."

Anna wasn't so sure about the conversation with Vanna. It was very forward of Young Allison. The long pause from Vanna made it even more awkward. It was clear what Vanna thought and looked forward to one day.

She felt a little jealous. It was the same thing she wanted and looked forward to. She was Young Allison's protector. She should be her lover as well or at least her Metal lover.

Anna loved Young Allison too. She knew she could never compete with Cameron and Savannah. There was going to be Vanna and Hanna with her at some point in her life. Maybe it was time she stopped complaining about her age regression and figured out a way to keep that as an incentive for when Young Allison was older. It would probably work on Cameron, Savannah and John too.

"Riley is on board for one or two days if Vanna or Jesse will take care of Precious for her. Vanna already said she wanted to do it." Young Allison said. "Samantha will be there to do everything else except to nurse Precious if needed."

Anna wanted to give Young Allison a reminder about her mother and Vanna. She was still troubled by the earlier conversation between Vanna and Young Allison.

"Vanna may also want to spend a day with your mother on the ship." Anna said.

Young Allison could have done without the reminder but she wasn't going to stand in anyone's way for whatever they wanted to do with each other as long as it was by mutual consent.

"I already suggested that. They can do whatever they want as long as Jesse or Vanna is available for Precious, she comes first." Young Allison said. "Everyone is entitled to share with who they choose to when they choose to."

Anna thought it sounded more like what Young Allison already planned for herself. She would need to alert Cameron about it. It was clear Young Allison already was thinking about her future and what it would offer. It was clearly more than Savannah or even the 'Natural Order'. She thought they needed to get all of the players on the field.

"Are you going to call Jesse and your mother next?" Anna asked.

Young Allison didn't want to get too far ahead of herself. The events needed to play out a little first so she knew which direction to take everything.

"I want to know what the Reese clan decides first. They'll call me back." Young Allison said. "I want to follow Savannah and Cammy for a while."

When Anna scanned Young Allison it was evident she was aroused. It must be from her thinking about her future in a little too much detail. She was actually a little surprised that Young Allison didn't protest when she scanned her. It took her a few moments to realize that Young Allison wanted her to scan her how she was currently. She quickly withdrew her hand after a short scan. The two of them exchanged a long glance but nothing else was said.

Young Allison hoped everything she said to Vanna made an impact on Anna. What was offered to Vanna is the same thing that she wanted to offer to Anna. She thought the conversation was a veiled attempt to do that. She wanted to make herself clear about what her future would provide her and others.

She felt that she made her point during the visual exchange after the last scan.

Savannah pressed up tight against Cammy as she gently backed up into her.

They waited in the darkness. It was about a five minute wait.

Cammy heard a scraping noise and a thud.

"Someone is coming." Cammy said. "There may be more than one. I don't know yet."

Savannah was in total darkness. She didn't have her night vision equipment with her.

"I can't see anything." Savannah said.

Cammy was able to use several different vision spectrums in the darkness. She wanted to issue a warning to Savannah.

"If you hear them about to flip the breaker, you need to shield your eyes." Cammy said.

Savannah was a little more worried that there would be gunfire as soon as someone flipped a breaker.

There was a louder scraping noise as they waited in the darkness. Savannah could hear that last one herself.

Cammy received some last minute instructions as to the developments outside of the building. It was recommended they try a different approach than a direct one.

There was a distinct thud and then two voices.

"I was in the 'can' when the lights went out." One man said. "Being inside that place gives me the creeps when it's dark. I don't like all that fake movie 'blood' that's around there."

"I don't know what happened." The other man said. "This is the first time the power went off."

"Maybe the movie studio forgot to pay the bill." One man said. "I don't think they're too big on the cleanup of an area after they're done with the shoot."

"I think after the director says 'cut' for the last time, nobody cares anymore." The other man said. "I never saw props that looked so real. It looks like a real battle took place in there."

"I'm just glad we found a place to bunk for a few days." One man said.

There was a very loud 'thump'.

"Son of a…." The other man said.

There was the click of a lighter being lit. A small glow was in front of the men as they moved in the faint eerie light of the lighter.

"The electrical box is over here." One man said.

"I see it." The other man said. "This whole place gives me the creeps anyway."

There was the distinct sound of a rattlesnake.

The lighter fell to the floor and bounced away, its flame extinguished. The room was in total darkness.

"There's a snake in here." One man said. "I can't see."

The sound increased until it sounded like there were several rattlesnakes in the darkness of the electrical room.

"Let's get out of here." The other man said. "I'm done with this place. I don't care what anyone tells me."

There was a fumbling sound and the door to the electrical room opened and the two men ran outside.

Holly looked around inside the private suite area. She heard Jim and Sheila in the process of moving the electrical equipment again. She opened the door as Cameron and John approached.

"Jim and Sheila are moving the computer gear back into your extra room." Holly said.

Gail joined them a few seconds later.

John excused himself and headed into the Owner's Suite. There was some personal business he needed to attend to.

Cameron figured there would be a lot of activity if all the suites were occupied by couples. She wanted everyone to have privacy. That included John and her.

"I understand." Cameron said. "Everyone will operate with reduced hearing while they are around the three suites here when they're occupied."

Gail quickly glanced at the Owner's Suite.

"We understand why." Gail said. "We're not here to cause problems."

Cameron thought that Gail and Holly could be used more efficiently.

"The security needs seem very minimal on this ship for watching over John." Cameron said to Gail and Holly. "I'll have you two watch over whoever else comes on board."

"What about Cam and Ally?" Gail asked. "I know you don't want more than two who look like you at any one time."

Sheila came out to see what was happening. There was a big smile on her face.

Cameron looked at her current maid's outfit.

"We may have a spare chassis that they can put their chip in." Cameron said as she looked at Sheila.

The smile slowly faded from Sheila's face.

John's head popped back out of the door of their suite. He wanted to see what happened to Cameron. He couldn't help but notice Sheila's new attire. Somehow her dress was even shorter than it was previously. Everything was on display. He lightly moistened his lips before he looked away. He didn't want Cameron to catch him staring at Sheila's private parts.

Cameron saw the way John looked at Sheila and everything that was visible. Now more than ever she planned to use Sheila's chassis. She knew John liked Sheila's chassis. It was clear she liked Sheila's too.

Everything was different on Sheila than it was on her, even if everything was the same part physically. She wondered if there would be a feeling or sensation change on any of the parts based upon that. She looked forward to finding out. She wondered how far Sheila would be willing to go to prevent from being deactivated. She was pretty sure it was a long way.
