Chapter 1270
I Will Make One
Savannah, Allison and Cammy stripped off each other's clothes.
Allison could see how dirty they were once they were naked, especially Savannah.
She thought Savannah looked worse than her clothes but didn't want to say it.
"Your clothes are pretty messed up." Allison said.
Savannah looked over at the pile of clothes. They were most likely headed for the trash.
"You should have seen the ones I originally had on." Savannah said. "They're totally wasted."
Allison knew about Savannah's earlier battle.
"Where are they now?" Allison asked.
Savannah felt bad about Cam having to wear her clothes. She'd offered to trade back with Cam several times.
"Cam is wearing them." Savannah said. "She needed them to play the role of a homeless female who was down on her luck."
Cammy didn't want Allison to know the true extent of the danger Savannah faced. She didn't want Savannah to relive any of what happened earlier.
"Let's not worry about any of it now." Cammy said. "It's in the past now."
Cammy's statement made Allison think about some of the things in her past. Very few of them were pleasant. Most of the ones dealing with Vanna and the Reese brothers were. Almost everything else wasn't. She knew past events still affected her and Vanna. Vanna experienced a much more traumatic past than she had. She never wanted Savannah to experience anything from her past, the future.
Savannah could see Allison stiffen a little with talk about the past. She didn't want to go there either.
"We have more important things to do." Savannah said.
Allison looked at Savannah and Cammy.
"Yeah, each other…." Allison said.
The three girls giggled and headed into the shower.
"It's a tight fit with the three of us." Allison said.
It gave them an excuse to grope each other as they washed.
"I guess we can have a lot of contact with each other then." Savannah said.
She always liked the opportunity to touch a Cameron clone and Allison in the same area, at the same time. She liked how everything felt the same. She'd spent a lot of time with Hanna. She'd touched everywhere on Hanna to see what others would feel when they touched her. She would touch herself at the same time as well, if she could, in the same areas.
Allison watched Savannah touch both of them.
"You have one hand on Cammy and one on me already." Allison said.
Savannah smiled at them.
"Practice makes perfect." Savannah said.
Allison watched the black streams of water run off of Cammy and especially Savannah. She knew they must have been in the thick of it again. She knew not to ask about it right now. It could sour the mood. She would make sure they were both clean everywhere so nothing else would be sour either.
It took some scrubbing to get Savannah's hair clean. Cammy's wasn't as bad.
Allison noticed the fresh scrapes and bruises on Savannah. It seemed she always ended up with new ones before the old ones healed or went away. It made her think of the sores and rashes the people in the future all seemed to have.
She remembered when she'd first arrived from the future how Cameron looked at her body when Vanna retrieved Cameron's chip from within her. She looked down at herself now and her skin was perfect. There was very little trace of the future left on her body that was visible. There was still plenty of it visible in her mind. It didn't take much for it to go to the forefront of her mind.
"Hey!" Savannah said. "Are you with us?"
Allison knew she was getting lost in the past, the future. It was never a good thing.
"I'm sorry." Allison said. "I let my mind wander."
Savannah looked down at her once perfect body. She saw the cuts, scrapes and bruises. She knew where Allison's mind wandered. She'd been in two futures. She knew what the people all looked like. She looked like a beauty queen right now compared to what most of them looked like. It was always a poor choice to remember how bad things were.
She really wondered how things were going in Cameron's future. She missed Future Allison, Future Savannah and Duplicate Cameron. She'd grown attached to all of them. It also made her wonder about the girls 'in some future'. The living conditions weren't any better there. She wondered what her mother, Mrs. Weaver, was up to.
Maybe it was something better not to think about. She knew she wanted to return to Cameron's future. It didn't seem as imperative at this point since Skynet was mostly defeated. If any of it existed, it was in hiding. Mrs. Weaver was chosen by the citizens of the future to govern and guide them. She really hoped she kept up the same principle and actually tried to do good.
The thought of both futures also brought up another issue. It was her two daughters. She tried to picture how old Hope and Joy would be now. There was no way to know because it was all in the future. Technically none of it actually occurred yet. If she were to visit again, she could arrive before they were born or much later when they were fully grown. It was all too confusing to think about.
She reached down and touched her belly. It wasn't her child who grew inside of her right now. It was Vanna's child. In this case, she was just the surrogate. She hoped it would make it easier when it was turned over to Vanna. It was very hard to do for Duplicate Vanna and Future Savannah. Those were her children, even if she gave them to two older versions of herself. She didn't want to think about it right now. She was there with Cammy and Allison. They were going to make her forget about the present, and the past, for now. She knew it seldom did a mind any good to wander.
Savannah reached out and touched Allison's cheek.
"Let your hands wander over our bodies instead." Savannah said.
Allison was filled with excitement and she looked over Savannah's naked body.
"I will." Allison said.
Cammy could see the way the two girls looked at each other. It was clear they loved each other. There was so much going on around them and with everyone.
Savannah turned her attention to Cammy.
"And you, Miss, 'I never get tired or sleep'." Savannah said.
Cammy looked at Savannah and smiled. She always liked to be the focus of Savannah's attention. She wouldn't mind a little of Allison's attention right now either.
"That's me." Cammy said.
Savannah wanted to set a few rules before things got carried away.
"I want all three of us to finish up together." Savannah said.
Allison knew moderation was needed for Savannah's sake.
"You also need to sleep." Allison said. "I'll only stay for a couple of rounds."
Cammy wanted Savannah to rest. She already planned out what she was going to do.
"Savannah does need her rest." Cammy said. "I can carry Allison back to Vanna's room or the nursery when Savannah falls asleep."
Allison felt like a 'sleepy head'.
"I always fall asleep first." Allison said.
Savannah could see why.
"It is a wonder you don't black out with some of those finishes." Savannah said.
Allison thought she was close to doing so a time or two. Jesse evidently did a few times. Cameron previously needed to tell Gail to use some restraint with Jesse when they'd first started as a pair. Gail was able to push Jesse beyond human endurance. It was all done at Jesse urging. It was rumored Gail needed to use CPR on Jesse more than once.
It made her wonder what it was like on the 'other side'. Jesse never talked about it. She was pretty sure there was nothing on the 'other side'. Right now she didn't need to think about the past or the future. She was in the present. She was happy with the company she was with.
"I think I may have at least gone blank a few times." Allison said. "Life's good in Paradise."
Allison looked at Savannah's body again and felt as guilty as could be. Savannah was the one taking the fight to the enemy. The rest of them seldom heard a shot fired in anger anymore. They all lived the good life and Cameron made sure they stayed out of harm's way. Cameron's rule applied to all the humans except Savannah. She knew it was more than Cameron's fault too. Savannah was where she wanted to be to protect everyone else. She knew Savannah believed she needed to be there to protect Cameron. Everyone else knew it too except Cameron.
She decided to concentrate extra special on Savannah. She knew every spot on 'Savannah Weaver' to please her. She'd practiced it for half her life. It was one thing she was good at.
Allison was aware Young Allison was in for a real treat. Savannah would know every spot on 'Allison Young' to please her immensely. Savannah had been able to practice on Future Alison, Duplicate Allison and her. She was really surprised they actually hadn't started a physical relationship yet. She thought she should feel a little guilty because Savannah was able to share with her instead of Young Allison. She was pretty sure the physical relationship would have started long ago otherwise.
Her relationship with Vanna started when she was younger than Young Allison was now. She'd also experienced abuse at the hands of males several times as well. She would never wish it on anyone, even her worst enemy.
Allison hoped for the opportunity to work on Cammy and Savannah side by side. It was her opportunity to see how she compared to Vanna. She would be able to see what everyone else saw when they looked at either of them. She was sure it would only be a reminder to her how much more beautiful Vanna looked than her 'down there'. She honestly never saw another female who was as beautiful there.
Samantha wanted to find out where Cam was at for Vanna. She went to the Command Center to ask John Henry.
He informed her Cam needed to check out a few leads. Al and Ed were out too. They would assist her if needed.
Samantha was sure by his elusiveness as to where the leads were headed.
"Are any of the leads related to the anti-Metal faction?" Samantha asked.
John Henry didn't want to lie about the direct question. It seemed to be a convoluted matter currently. It was going to need some straightening out to figure out exactly what was going on.
"Yes." John Henry said. "They appear to be mixed up with some Grays."
Samantha noticed John Henry scanned her physical dimensions visually. She wanted to maintain control of the conversation. She would give him a little added incentive to cooperate fully with her in other matters.
"I can take my clothes off if you want a better scan. I don't mind." Samantha said. "You know my sheath is Resequencing."
John Henry would like to see her. He thought it best not to comment.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so obvious." John Henry said.
She'd been a little apprehensive about the changes to her previous appearance. She had the advantage of knowing who her DNA donor would be. She thought Claire was beautiful. Nothing on her sheath would be the same once the Resequencing was completed.
"My sheath tone will be a little lighter and the shape of my figure will be slightly different." Samantha said. "My breasts are already a little smaller. They should remain at this size. It is my facial features that seem to have the least changes so far."
John Henry liked either appearance. He thought all females were enticing.
"You'll still be beautiful." John Henry said.
Samantha was with Claire. She was beautiful.
"Claire is very attractive and highly desirable." Samantha said.
John Henry wondered about the next phase.
"Are you ready for the advanced 'Neural Interface'?" John Henry asked.
Samantha looked a little worried.
"I don't know." Samantha said.
John Henry could see she seemed conflicted.
"You seem to be having second thoughts." John Henry said.
Samantha didn't know if she should get into it with John Henry. It wasn't his doing.
"I am. I know my previous sheath was a liability." Samantha said. "It did need to be Resequenced. It mostly is at this point. I'll do what's necessary to protect everyone."
It was all logical to John Henry.
"Then what's the problem?" John Henry asked.
Samantha told him what she'd said to Vanna.
"If I'm going to be assigned to Precious, I think I should share Riley's DNA and do the 'Neural Interface' with her." Samantha said.
She noted his response was almost the same.
John Henry didn't say anything at first. It seemed like it would be a problem for Cameron on several levels.
"I don't think Cameron will agree to it." John Henry said.
Samantha was very fond of Riley. She wanted to defend her.
"Riley isn't responsible for what John did with 'some other Riley'. It's not her fault." Samantha said. "She's been 'punished' by EVERYONE here, even if it's indirectly, because of it. It's been since the day she arrived. It wasn't her who transgressed with John."
John Henry and everyone else knew what Cameron feared.
"You need to understand Cameron fears it will happen again." John Henry said. "Perhaps it's time Riley takes over her motherly duties herself."
Samantha felt insulted.
"Riley needs my help." Samantha said.
John Henry could see things were out of control. Samantha crossed an invisible line. Cameron needed to be informed of the serious violation.
"You've developed feelings for Riley." John Henry said. "This will have to be reported to Cameron. I believe this infraction will most likely end in your termination."
Samantha didn't fear it. She actually welcomed it. It would give Riley a chance to be seen and heard for the separate individual she was.
"Go ahead and turn me in." Samantha said. "I'll demand a public chip extraction then. Let everyone here be reminded what their prejudice has done to Riley and me. I'll gladly trade my existence so Riley can be treated fairly."
John Henry expected some feedback from CamNet, one way or another. There was only silence. Maybe Samantha made a point. He didn't think it was his place to push it.
"I don't want this to be a problem." John Henry said. "I'll say nothing other than you wish to discuss some personal matters with Cameron. The rest will be up to you."
John Henry believed she should tread lightly.
Samantha was pleased at John Henry's understanding. She thought maybe she'd made her case. She wanted to get back to the original issue of why she was there.
"Thank you." Samantha said. "What can I tell Vanna? Does she need to worry about Cam?"
John Henry felt bad about his earlier outburst. He wanted to make amends.
"Any time anyone is out in the field, we need to worry about it." John Henry said. "Please sit down. I apologize about earlier. We can try and check to see what the situation actually is."
Samantha felt bad she was angry at John Henry. They all needed to do different jobs and deal with different things. They were all in it together.
"Thank you." Samantha said. "I really appreciate this."
She thought maybe she would take her clothes off before she left so John Henry could get a better scan of her. Maybe it would help him find the courage to offer her support. If she were terminated, then he would have something to remember her by.
CamNet directed Cam to check out the anti-Metal lead. Al and Ed were to back her up.
Cam knew Savannah wanted to be personally notified about anything involving the anti-Metal faction.
"Savannah wanted to be notified about this." Cam said.
CamNet understood the reasoning. She wanted Savannah to have some time to rest. There were others who could deal with it.
"I'll inform her after she wakes up." CamNet said.
Cam knew it wasn't going to go over very well. It would make Savannah think more about using her power to 'order' the machines. It was a clear violation of her directive.
"Savannah won't be happy about the delay." Cam said.
Cam thought maybe she should inform Savannah herself. She looked down at her clothes and remembered Savannah almost died wearing these same clothes earlier. CamNet interrupted her train of thought.
"I'll take the heat." CamNet said. "John Henry will take over the rest of the operation."
Cam still didn't agree with CamNet's decision.
"Affirmative, sister…." Cam said.
CamNet didn't tell her she was involved in another parallel operation. It was a little bit out of control currently. She turned the information over to John Henry as far as what Cam would be involved in.
John Henry looked over the information CamNet provided him with and went to work.
"Hello, Cam." John Henry said. "It seems we're not done for the night yet."
Cam looked at her clothes again. She didn't want Savannah to become involved.
"The job must be done nonetheless." Cam said. "I'm available to do it."
John Henry sent her a location to check out. Al and Ed would be on the other side of it once she was in position.
"There's a drone over the location now. There's a drone with you and with Al's team." John Henry said.
Cam wondered what the intel was. So far she hadn't heard many details or facts.
"What information do I have going in?" Cam asked.
The information John Henry received from CamNet was limited.
"We're operating on phone data from one of the stiffs who was with the van that was targeted." John Henry said. "This may be Gray or anti-Metal related, or both."
Cam would meet the challenge. She was a little concerned about her last encounter.
"I'll take all of them down." Cam said. "What about the Fanatics?"
John Henry didn't think they were done with the Fanatics. He also wondered what happened in the basement with Savannah and Cammy.
"There still must be one more location with them." John Henry said. "What happened down there?"
Cam gave him the facts as she knew them.
"We killed two Fanatics and destroyed an infant variant of SkyMaster." Cam said.
John Henry didn't appreciate the run around.
"You know what I mean." John Henry said.
Cam didn't know what else to tell him. She wasn't privy to all of the information.
"I don't know what you seek. You have all my body cam footage and telemetry. Everything I know is on my cam. I wasn't down there the whole time." Cam said. "Will I be able to be back to see Vanna tonight, or is there more?"
John Henry did know she was away for a bit. It was after the last transmission he received from Cammy and Savannah too. Her desire to see Vanna was unlikely.
"I doubt it." John Henry said. "There's always more."
Cam wanted John Henry to know there was going to be trouble.
"Be warned, if I don't have this resolved before Savannah gets up tomorrow. There will be Hell to pay." Cam said.
John Henry wanted to give himself some cover too.
"This is currently a recon unless you have a clear target of opportunity." John Henry said. "We have nothing concrete it's actually the anti-Metal faction. There's no need for us to raise an alarm over what isn't fact."
Cam didn't like his answer.
"I'll make one." Cam said.
John Henry was unsure what she meant exactly.
"You'll make one what?" John Henry asked.
Cammy wanted to make a statement and hit hard.
"I'll make a clear target of opportunity." Cam said.
John Henry wasn't sure it was a good idea either. It seemed he upset everyone he'd spoken with in the last few minutes. He didn't think any of it was his fault.
Anna left Young Allison to study before she slept. She did wait to watch Young Allison put her bed clothes on. She would need to make sure CamNet didn't provide Young Allison with any information about the Fanatics or anti-Metal faction.
"Do you wish for me to close the door?" Anna asked.
Young Allison didn't see the point. She did the same 'thing' almost every night.
"We both know what's going to happen and you'll listen and know with or without the door closed." Young Allison said.
Anna didn't think it was a big deal. Cameron seemed to actually encourage it among the females.
"It's a natural part of human behavior." Anna said. "I always give you privacy for 'personal matters'. I'd expect the same in return. Goodnight."
Anna left the door open and departed. She would be back later to 'condition' Young Allison as she slept.
Young Allison watched Anna go. She spent another hour studying. She was very sleepy now. She checked with CamNet to see if any new operations were about to start. None were imminent.
Young Allison did a quick internet search. She was rewarded with the images she sought. She looked at several dozen and watched two short videos. She put her tablet away and turned the light off.
Anna listened from down the hall. Young Allison 'finished' up quickly and fell asleep. She would be in later for her further 'educational instruction'.
Gail watched Ally and Sheila 'play' in the casino. They didn't win big but won anyway. She saw them glance in Bob's direction every now and then.
Ally could see Sheila was displeased about using moderation.
"This is boring." Sheila said. "I'm not making anyone nervous."
Ally didn't think it was a bad thing.
"We also aren't getting kicked out." Ally said. "What about you?'
Ally looked at Gail.
Gail almost looked angry.
"Gambling is illogical." Gail said. "Savannah wouldn't approve of it."
Sheila was aware of someone who was a real challenge to play with.
"Maybe I should go get Summer." Sheila said. "She knows how to play."
Gail looked over and Bob was headed their way.
Ally saw it too. She was sure Bob heard what Sheila said about Summer.
"You blew it now." Ally said.
Gail agreed.
"You've offended him." Gail said. "Summer is his favorite."
Sheila was about to say, 'in a few years Summer was going to be her favorite too'. The look on Bob's face dictated otherwise.
Bob moved close to them.
"The rear lounge is available." Bob said at very low decibel level.
Ally tried not to laugh. It was clear they were being kicked out.
"I think he is telling us to leave as politely as possible." Ally said.
Gail was ready for a change. She was disgusted with all the men leering at her.
"It's a good idea." Gail said. "I'm tired of all these half drunk men staring at me."
Ally thought she should make it clear what they were staring at.
"They aren't staring at you. They are staring at your breasts." Ally said.
Gail didn't see why. She reached up and touched them. She pushed them together and lifted them slightly. It only seemed to make them look larger and even more prominent.
"They're non functional." Gail said.
Sheila almost laughed. She presented her own question.
"What about the females who are staring?" Sheila asked.
Gail looked around and smiled. She was aware there were females of similar size to her. They also exhibited a lot of sag and droop to their breasts. She didn't. Hers were 'high and tight'.
"It's acceptable to me." Gail said. "I'm superior to all of them."
Ally pointed out the obvious.
"Now you know why they're all staring." Ally said.
Sheila looked down at her now ring-less sheath.
"If I still possessed my rings, they'd all be staring at me." Sheila said.
Sheila would have a 'wardrobe malfunction' to make sure of it.
Ally offered up an explanation why. It was pretty much what Sheila just thought.
"They'd be staring because you flashed them." Ally said. "People stare at crazy people."
Sheila was going to embrace the thought. She wanted some jewelry to wear.
"I need to get a new set of rings plus some spares." Sheila said.
She planned to hook up as many females as she could with a set on the cruise. She hoped the other two females passed the word to their friends and associates. She was sure they'd picked up more than a few so far on the cruise. They were both 'chick magnets'.
Gail thought Sheila would be able to obtain some rings at the next port.
"We'll be in San Diego in a few hours." Gail said. "There will be plenty there."
Sheila frowned. She still needed to perform her maid duties.
"I need to see what everyone wants for breakfast tomorrow." Sheila said. "It's not all fun and games."
Gail thought Jim could do it.
"Have Jim check." Gail said.
Sheila looked at Ally before she answered.
"I'll let him check, as soon as I get a new set of rings." Sheila said.
Sheila saw Ally smile.
Gail was irritated at Sheila's answer. She clarified her statement.
"I meant the morning breakfast cards." Gail said.
Ally rolled her eyes.
"She knew what you meant." Ally said.
Sheila pulled on the front of her dress and looked down inside.
"The piercings have healed." Sheila said. "It's like they were never there."
Ally figured Sheila would actually like it better.
"It's just going to make you more excited to make new ones." Ally said.
Sheila wanted Ally to do it for her.
"I'll let you make them." Sheila said.
Ally planned to do it the same way Sheila did to Cammy.
"I'm in." Ally said. "You're really going to feel alive."
Sheila glanced over at Bob. He gave her a stern look. She shrugged her shoulders. She was ready to move on.
"I'm bored." Sheila said. "This place is Deadsville. Let's blow this dump."
Gail thought Sheila's response was a little extreme. She wasn't sure if they had any explosives with them.
"I don't want to damage the ship." Gail said.
Ally rolled her eyes again.
"Oh brother, let's just go." Ally said.
"What are we supposed to do with our winnings?" Gail asked.
Sheila looked around at the workers. Many of them are Asian.
"Let's help the working-class a little." Sheila said. "They're all underpaid anyway."
The Metal girls donated all their winnings as tips to the dealers.
"Easy come, easy go." Ally said as they departed.
They headed for the rear lounge.
Claire woke up again. Her sleep was uneasy tonight. She thought it was the motion of the ship. It was actually very mild. Maybe there was a lot on her mind. She couldn't help but think about Hanna and what already occurred in the Owner's Suite.
She looked over in the dim light and saw Jesse was fast asleep.
She got up and threw on a robe. She headed into the smaller room and then into the Control Center.
Jim was surprised to see her.
They exchanged pleasantries.
"How's Allison doing?" Claire asked.
John Henry watched them all enter Savannah's room together.
"She's currently with Savannah and Cammy." Jim said.
Claire got a little worried before she figured out which Allison it was who Jim referred to.
"O – K…." Claire said. "I meant My Allison."
Jim was confused because she didn't say 'Young Allison' to him. He thought it was an honest mistake.
"Allison is in bed, alone." Jim said.
Claire would have been happier with a more concise answer. She hoped her daughter would be alone. It was good to know. She knew she wouldn't be for long. It was just a matter of time until she started a physical relationship with Savannah. She was sure it would rapidly expand to everyone else within a few weeks. It would be a few months at the most. She could see how 'hungry' her daughter was the way she looked at all the other females. She refrained from letting out a sigh. It was better it would be females, than males.
"Thanks." Claire said.
Claire looked over at the connecting door to the Owner's Suite.
Jim caught the drift.
"Hanna is currently busy." Jim said. "Her chassis is tied up."
Claire briefly wondered if Jim meant in a literal sense. She hoped not. She was aware all of the girls from the future like to be 'tied up' sometimes when they shared. She never understood why they would want to relive their past. She always figured it was some way for them to overcome some of the events which occurred to them. They may be restrained, but they were still in control. Someone else didn't control then. She needed to clear her mind.
She understood Jim's statement to mean John was making love to Cameron right now in Hanna's chassis.
"Do you mean right now?" Claire asked.
Jim briefly turned up his hearing. His assumption was entirely correct.
"Yes." Jim said.
Claire looked a little uneasy.
"Thanks." Claire said.
She left and went back to bed. She briefly thought of going in there and taking Hanna's place. Hanna made it clear it was what she wanted, even if it was Cameron who did it for her. She wondered what it was like. She'd be happy to have a male get her there one time. It really didn't seem like too much to ask for.
Claire hoped when she was with John, he would be able to do it. If he couldn't, she would ask Cameron if she could be with one of the male Terminators. She would ask them to stay with it until she made it. She really wondered how long it would take. What if they couldn't do it? Maybe there was something wrong with her. It made her feel even more uneasy.
Earlier:
John was all over Cameron in her chassis. He kept at it until she finished.
Cameron was pleased. She wanted to compare chassis.
"Switch." Cameron whispered in his ear.
It caught John off guard.
"Now?" John asked.
Cameron wanted more, she wanted it now.
"I'll be there waiting for you." Cameron said.
Cameron spoke and then her eyes closed.
John looked over at Hanna's chassis.
He moved off of Cameron's chassis and over to Hanna's chassis. He was about to make his move but hesitated. He didn't want to jump the gun and reactivate Hanna before Cameron took control.
He watched 'Hanna's' eyes open.
"What took so long?" Hanna-Cameron asked. "Get started. I want everything to be the same. I want you to do everything the same way."
John thought it was really strange but it was very exciting. It seemed Cameron was even more excited than he was about the whole thing.
John started to make his move.
Cameron felt he was about to skip an essential part of her previous encounter.
"Hey, get me warmed up first." Hanna-Cameron said. "I want everything the same way."
John thought he was supposed to keep going. He glanced over at Cameron's now inactive chassis.
"Sorry." John said. "I was going to continue from where I left off."
It gave Cameron an idea for the next round….
Hank and Larry watched the man move towards the street. The female Fanatic moved in the opposite direction. She was one property over from where the man who headed towards the front was at. Their paths were unlikely to cross.
They'd been headed to intercept the car load of future Scavengers, the gang bangers. They were on their way back to intercept what they believed might be a Terminator.
The female Fanatic went over the wall at the rear of the property. She took one look back before she dropped over to the other side. There was no one behind her. She quickly moved through the property to the street on the other side. No dogs were encountered. She headed back towards her vehicle. She knew the building she'd just left was active with the enemy. She planned to return with something a little bigger than the satchel charge to deal with it.
She doubted she would be able to get her hands on any actual explosives quickly. Her cell previously identified a few work sites and quarries where explosives were used. They were also aware of some of the fertilizer distributors and where they could get a hold of ammonia nitrate. Those endeavors would all take time. She wanted to act before the group could pull out. She didn't think she would be able to ask before they reinforce their operation. She really would have liked to know a little bit more about it.
So far she hadn't heard any additional shooting in the distance. It only reaffirmed her suspicions there was a Terminator involved.
She ran along the sidewalk. She attempted to take the most direct route possible back to her vehicle. She knew she should have moved up against the buildings so she wouldn't be as visible. She spotted a vehicle pass by on the street in front of her. It looked like a gang banger's car. Right before it went out of view because of the next building, she saw the brake lights come on.
There was the sound of a vehicle door closing a few seconds later. She heard the vehicle drive off.
"Damn." The female Fanatic said.
It appeared somehow the gang bangers were able to track her. They must have tagged her vehicle.
"Damn." The female Fanatic said again.
She didn't think she was going to have time to search for a tracker. Maybe she wouldn't even be able to reach her vehicle. She was still a block away.
She crossed over the street to the other side. She moved up against the buildings. She wanted to give herself as much room as possible when she reached the corner to react. She was sure someone was let off and waiting for her.
It seemed her best course of action would be to turn around and go the other direction. It seemed like a worse idea. If there was a Terminator at the other location, he was going to find her soon enough. Once he figured out she'd duped him, he would become even more aggressive.
She quickly put on the night vision goggles. She held her silenced pistol in her hand. The safety was off. She approached the corner. She looked back in the direction she'd come from. She saw a blur of motion and then a pair of headlights. It appeared the gang bangers were going to try and box her in.
"Damn." The female Fanatic said again.
Hank and Larry watched drone footage of the female Fanatic as she attempted to make her escape.
"It looks like she's going to have company soon." Hank said.
Larry could see they'd spotted her. He didn't think they actually knew who they were after.
"I don't think they know it's her." Larry said. "I think they've spotted a target of opportunity and plan to incorporate it into their plans."
They watched two people get out of the car around the corner from where the female Fanatic was at. They quickly drove off. The car approached the location where her vehicle was at. One more individual got out of the car. The car drove off and headed around the block.
"They have eyes on her vehicle and are going to attempt to capture her." Hank said.
Larry figured they would take her into custody. He didn't think it was to capture her. He thought it was to abuse her and then terminate her.
"She's proven to be quite resourceful." Larry said.
Another drone kept track of what was happening over the building. The five bodies were still where they'd fallen. No one else came out of the building to check anything. The individual who went out to the front of the building paused as soon as they went over the fence. He still held the long gun he'd taken from one of the attackers. So far he hadn't moved from the location. He remained where he was and looked intently in both directions for any movement.
"He doesn't know where the person he's tracking went." Hank said.
Larry could see he was waiting for someone to make a move.
"If it's a Terminator, he's going to spot the man down the street in the vehicle." Larry said.
Hank still thought it was a Terminator.
"He won't be able to approach the vehicle directly and not be spotted." Hank said. "Whoever was in the vehicle would have heard the gunfire and be alert."
Hank and Larry pulled up at the end of the block. They were ready to make their move. They could reach the target location with the individual near the front of it, or continue past the building directly to the two vehicles where they knew there was another individual.
The female Fanatic was up against the buildings on the far side of the street as she approached the corner. She put on the night vision goggles she'd taken from the man she'd killed earlier. She currently held the silenced pistol in her hand. She would have preferred a larger caliber. It was only a .22 long rifle.
She could clearly see two images waiting around the corner. She glanced back in the direction of the headlights. They were halfway down the block. She turned back in the direction of the two men waiting around the corner. There was only one detected now. She quickly looked further to the side. There was one who'd moved across the street and was headed in her direction. He was still on the other side of the intersection.
It was time to act. She aimed the silenced pistol in the direction of the man crossing the street. She fired three times. He went down. She immediately turned her attention to the man waiting around the corner. She fired three more times. He went down as well. The shots had been totally silent. The only noise was the action of the firearm and the empty shell casings hitting the ground.
She was unsure as to the accuracy and effectiveness of her shots. She knew the men were hit. She didn't know if they were dead or only injured. She needed to turn her attention to the approaching vehicle. She quickly took the night vision goggles off. She didn't want to be blinded by the headlights of the approaching vehicle. She kept them handy in case the driver turned the headlights off.
She looked back in the direction of the two men she'd shot. The man around the corner was where he fell. She turned her attention to the other individual. He was in the street. He was in a crawling position. She still had four more shots in her silenced pistol. It didn't look like the man would be able to go far. She wanted to deal with the car.
The car was almost to where she was at. The headlights picked up the man crawling in the street. It stopped. It was almost directly across from her. She could see the side window was down. She fired four times at the driver. She saw him slumped over the wheel and then off to the side. She only found one spare magazine for the silenced pistol. She ejected the empty magazine and put the next one in. She hit the slide release. She was good to go for ten more shots.
It appeared the driver of the vehicle was dead. The car began to move forward in idle as his foot slipped off of the break. She didn't see anyone else in the vehicle. The vehicle moved past her and continued down the street. She was a little surprised at what happened next.
She was going to shoot at the man who was in the street. The car continued to move forward at idle speed. It was pointed directly at him. She saw him raise his head as the vehicle neared.
The front bumper impacted the crawling man and knocked him on his back. The front tire hit his body. There was a slight pause. There was a shrill scream from the injured man as his arm was crushed along with his rib cage. He was clearly pinned under the front wheel of the vehicle. The man attempted to scream again but was unable to get air into or out of his lungs. She looked in the direction of the other fallen man. She couldn't see him. She quickly lifted her night vision goggles and saw his body was still there.
She wanted to get to her vehicle. She moved up to the idling car. It was currently held in place by the man's body. She looked at the man in the street. He was still alive as he was being crushed. She decided not to waste another bullet. She opened the driver's door. She pointed the pistol at the driver as she checked him. He was dead. She grabbed the driver and pulled him out onto the ground. She climbed into the vehicle and stepped on the gas. There was a slight bump. The car moved forward and there was another bump as the rear tire passed over the man in the street. She drove over towards the man she'd shot around the corner. He still hadn't moved. She headed towards her vehicle in her newly acquired ride. She was sure there was someone at or near her vehicle.
The female Fanatic turned onto the street where her vehicle was parked. She left the headlights on. She hoped whoever was there would present himself when they saw their vehicle return.
I Will Make One
When two are the together
If it's all about fun
The chances of more
Seem to be little to none
It never takes long
For one to want to run
It usually starts out
As simple as a shun
Actions say one thing
Words are often spun
Everything is really little more
Than another dull rerun
Nothing is really real
Life becomes a pun
There's little to hope for
When everything is done
I won't give up
Before we have won
There will be a future
I will make one
Nobody
