Chapter 1272
You Are Undressed
Cameron was very pleased with the trip so far. She felt she was able to get closer to John and hopefully allow him to have what she was sure she didn't give him, her virginity. She hoped when she was done with Holly and Gail that maybe one of them really was untouched by a male. Holly and Gail were sent by Mrs. Weaver. They were created as Restorators and were never Skynet Terminators. She was sure they were virgins. There was nothing in their programming that showed they even done anything other than work for Mrs. Weaver.
Tomorrow when Holly allowed her to use her chassis, she hoped it would really be a virgin chassis and sheath. It was something she really looked forward to. There was a good chance all of the captured Skynet Terminator chassis were once Metal Whores. She didn't know any of their previous assignments, especially on the ones whose chips self destructed.
They'd all been Resequenced since their capture, it was still the idea. Just like her, there was no way to know. Her sheath wasn't Resequenced. Whatever happened after her capture remained a mystery. She was sure she was violated by Future John or used as a Metal Whore when she was captured. It didn't matter there wasn't proof of any of it. It was what she believed. Like any belief, the mind made it 'true', even if it wasn't. Logic and fact were trumped by belief.
She looked over at John. He looked exhausted. She'd really given him a workout between the two chassis. She was very pleased with the results. She was glad Sheila was able to provide the medicinal supplement to give John a 'boost'. She was sure Sheila would be back to take advantage of it. It was something she looked forward to as well.
Cameron was still naked as she walked Hanna to the door.
Hanna kept thanking her as they walked.
"Thank you for allowing me to share this experience with John and you." Hanna said quietly.
Cameron felt she was the one who owed Hanna the thanks.
"Thank you for allowing us the ability to share your chassis." Cameron said. "Thank you for your special gift to John. None of what happened will ever be forgotten."
Hanna hoped it wouldn't be forgotten. There was only one 'first time'.
Cameron opened the door.
Hanna kissed Cameron on the cheek and then whispered in her ear. It was the same thing she'd whispered to John earlier in the shower.
"I still want my one time alone with John." Hanna said.
Cameron made the deal so she could claim the Metal girl's virginity herself. As long as she set the events up, she could deal with it. She would be in control and the one making the decisions for everyone. As long as she was the 'decider', John could be with other females, at her choosing.
"It will happen at some point." Cameron said.
Hanna seriously doubted it. It was still what she wanted to try one time anyway on her own. Technically her chassis was no longer a virgin chassis but she hadn't done anything herself yet, so she still was, 'sort of'.
Like Sheila, Hanna wanted to come back for more and allow Cameron the use of her chassis.
"Do you want me to come back later on or in the morning?" Hanna asked. "I will."
Cameron was very pleased to hear it. She planned to use both of their chassis again. It briefly crossed her mind to have Hanna and Sheila there together. With a connector, she could control both of them at the same time. It was something she'd avoided doing so far with her chassis and the one she was using. She was afraid if she did it, her first known experience with a female, would be with 'herself'. She wondered at that point, if it would be a perverse form of sharing.
She still wanted it to be with Savannah or Young Allison first. There were times when she'd been so close with Savannah. She would always stop short because Savannah felt she 'wasn't ready'. It was clear to her Savannah was more than ready.
Cameron was for the idea to have Sheila or Hanna return in the morning or any time. She wanted her to remember what the rules were.
"When we do, it would still be the same way." Cameron said. "I would have complete control."
Hanna wondered if she would be more assertive under different conditions. Cameron was on the ship for a specific reason with John.
"I understand." Hanna said. "It's your honeymoon. I'm pleased my chassis gave you both more enjoyment."
They thanked each other again.
Hanna looked down at herself and left.
Cameron closed the door. She went back to check on John.
He'd fallen asleep. Cameron leaned down and gently kissed him on the cheek. She pulled the sheet up on him and straightened the bed.
She decided to check on operations again.
Cameron headed to the Control Center.
Jim looked up as she entered. They greeted each other.
Cameron carried the tether with her.
"I want to 'plug in' for a full update." Cameron said.
Jim hoped it wasn't going to cause a problem. If Cameron plugged in, she'd be able to get a complete update from both John Henry and CamNet. It seemed like now was a good time to be in a different place.
"I'll check on what everyone wants for tomorrow morning." Jim said.
Jim excused himself and went out into the private area. He didn't want to be there when Cameron found out they may be after the anti-Metal faction right now.
He checked for the breakfast order cards on the doors of the suites. He saw there was a 'do not disturb' sign on the Master Suite and Derek's suite. There was a specific 'coffee only' note on the Honeymoon Suite. He noted 'croissants' were marked at some point, but crossed off. He might just send two croissants or sweet rolls along with the coffee. Maybe some hot coco would be good too. He may do it for all the rooms. It would be a nice gesture. They all may want something a little more substantial than they'd 'eaten' during the night.
Jim went into the small room connected to the Master Suite and quickly made the room up. He decided to peek in the Master Suite and see what Claire and Jesse were up to. It was quiet so it was probably not much. He turned the door handle and then slowly released it. He wasn't sure he didn't look because it was the 'wrong' thing to do, or because Cameron might be spying on him. Maybe it was both.
He passed from the small bedroom back into the Control Center.
Cameron was still plugged in. She was probably communicating with CamNet's or John Henry's server.
Jim moved around Cameron and back to his seat. He noticed her face was expressionless. It looked very blank. It seemed to be more so than usual. He decided not to say anything until she did.
She remained motionless for another three minutes. She never looked at him once. She never said anything. It was clear she was up to speed on the anti-Metal faction. She got up and walked to the connecting door he'd just returned from and entered the small bedroom of the Master Suite. He quickly checked to see where Hanna was at. She was on her way to the rear lounge.
He got up and followed Cameron. What was she up to?
He entered the small bedroom from the Control Center. Cameron was about to enter the main room of the Master Suite. He knew what she was doing. She was going to get Claire or Jesse and bring one of them back to be placed in John's bed. He wondered if she would make two trips and bring both of them. She didn't want John assassinated for being a 'Metal lover'.
"Cameron." Jim said softly.
She didn't respond.
He moved closer.
"Cameron." Jim said louder.
She didn't respond.
He moved closer. She was still at the door with her hand on the handle. He figured she must be calculating how it would alter the 'Natural Order'.
"Cameron." Jim said as he touched her arm.
Cameron turned around.
The blank look on her face was unnerving. Just a short time ago she'd looked 'happy'.
Cameron looked at him and blinked.
"What are you doing?" Jim asked.
Cameron looked around. A soft smile graced her face.
"I don't know." Cameron said. "I think I came to get something for John."
Jim wanted her to think about what she was doing.
"Claire and Jesse are sleeping." Jim said. "You are undressed."
Cameron looked down.
"Oh, it's this sheath." Cameron said.
It seemed Cameron frowned some.
Jim wanted to remind Cameron of something he'd heard John tell her multiple times.
"John likes it very much." Jim said. "Let's go back to where we just were."
Cameron released the door handle and let Jim lead her back to the Control Center.
Jim wanted to change the subject.
"What would you and John like for early breakfast in your room?" Jim asked.
Cameron blinked a few more times.
"John wanted to keep it simple." Cameron said. "I think maybe some juice or coffee."
Jim planned to have everything set up. He knew when they'd want it.
"I'll have it ready for sunrise." Jim said.
Cameron planned on using Sheila's or Hanna's chassis in the morning. She couldn't tell which one John liked better, other than he was more excited to use either 'new chassis' over her chassis. She wanted to make sure there was a choice available to John.
"Have Sheila or Hanna deliver it." Cameron said.
Jim already figured on it. He thought Cameron would be more specific.
"Which one would you prefer?" Jim asked.
Cameron hoped one wanted more than the other to have the opportunity to share.
"I prefer the one that wants to bring the things to the room the most." Cameron said.
Jim would have preferred a more definitive answer
"Affirmative…." Jim said.
Cameron smiled at Jim.
"Thanks, Jim." Cameron said. "I need to check on John."
Cameron left and entered the Owner's Suite.
Jim decided he'd better keep an eye on Cameron's movement for a while if she left her room.
He notified Bob that Hanna was out and looking for the Metal girls. He wasn't so sure Cameron wouldn't come back and try to bring Claire or Jesse to John. He figured if she brought one of them, she would bring both of them. It would better ensure the success of her mission.
It just didn't seem like a good idea to him. It would further disrupt and delay the 'Natural Order'. He was sure it would set Cameron's plans back in the long run.
Sheila led the girls back to the rear lounge. It was closed off and empty. She used her access card and opened the door. They all went inside.
They went to the instruments and tuned up everything. They started to play. Gail was able to pick up the drums right away. They knocked off two songs.
Ally thought it would be nice if Gail sang.
"Are you sure you don't want to sing?" Ally asked.
Gail would if Holly was there. She was very pleased with her performance so far. Maybe she could take things a little further.
"I like to sing with Holly. I like how we harmonize." Gail said. "Will one of you sing with me?"
Sheila thought she might be able to pull it off.
"We can both sound like Holly." Sheila said in Holly's voice.
Gail frowned as she thought about it a little further.
"The modulation won't be the same." Gail said.
Ally still wanted to have a good time.
"Let's just play then." Ally said.
Sheila shrugged her shoulders and continued to play the bass.
Hanna left the Owner's Suite. She was very happy with the experience. She was glad Cameron did everything for her. She was even more pleased she wasn't damaged. She'd looked at some of the files from Vanna and was glad there was no beating to go along with it. She went to check on Claire and Jesse. It was quiet in the room. They were alone and both of them were asleep.
She thought she would feel something more or something less. She didn't. It seemed to all be part of the experience. She would gladly do it all again.
Hanna figured the Metal girls were in the casino or the rear lounge. She decided to head down and take a look. She felt very positive about herself now. She thought maybe she would feel 'different'. She was a little sore in a couple of spots. She chose to leave her pain receptors on for the full experience, at least as far as the aftereffects were. It was no big deal. She knew she was alive a few times over.
She spotted Bob coming towards her.
"I've been waiting for you." Bob said.
Hanna wondered why. She hoped Sheila hadn't caused a problem somewhere.
"You were?" Hanna asked. "Did anything happen?"
Bob didn't want her to become concerned. So far any negative issues had been avoided.
"Jim told me you were headed this way." Bob said.
Hanna just wanted to find the others. She felt the need to be around others right now.
"I hoped to find the girls." Hanna said.
Bob did too. They may need some supervision.
"I'm headed there now." Bob said.
It sounded like trouble to Hanna. She figured Sheila must have done something after all.
"What did they do?" Hanna asked.
Bob was aware CamNet didn't want any 'issues' on her ship.
"They haven't done anything yet." Bob said. "CamNet doesn't want any trouble or any incidents."
Hanna believed she should relay the specific information to Sheila about CamNet's desires. It was her ship after all.
They shared some small talk. Bob got Hanna up to speed on all the operations.
When Hanna heard about the anti-Metal faction she figured it would breed trouble for Cameron. She knew Cameron wanted John protected.
"I'm sure it's going to cause a problem." Hanna said.
Bob tilted his head slightly.
"Do you mean a problem for Claire?" Bob asked. "You must be worried."
Hanna believed she would be part of Claire's life with whatever path she chose. She thought if Claire stepped up, then her daughter wouldn't need to do it. Well, not as soon anyway. She knew Claire wanted to be with John for more than one reason. She really couldn't fault her for any of them. Her recent contact with John and Cameron was proof there was much more to be offered.
"Claire wants to be with John to protect him. I agree with it." Hanna said. "I understand now the beauty of love over sex, especially a violent assault."
Bob was surprised they were all on board with what Cameron wanted.
"You won't try to stop Claire?" Bob asked.
Hanna thought it would do John some good to be with a human female. What could it hurt? They all knew what they were doing. They all knew who they 'belonged' to at the end of the day. It was beautiful to share. There seemed to be plenty of love to go around.
"No, I wouldn't. I'll encourage her." Hanna said. "She'll be able to give John a new perspective on love. She'll provide him with the passion a Metal girl can't have. Savannah will provide him with emotional feelings and love one day. She's not here, Claire is."
Hanna knew first hand Claire would be able to provide John with a deeper emotional bond than Cameron could provide. John would receive the emotional love he sought. She believed it was emotional love he needed as well. She really thought for John to be closely associated with a few human females, would do him a lot of good.
Hanna thought it was mostly physical with Cameron. She knew it was the same way with all of the Metal girls. Cameron was more advanced than her with a male. Cameron was able to provide a better experience than she could have had on her own with John.
They reached the rear section of the ship. They could hear the girls belting out the tunes.
Hanna felt she was late to the party.
"I can hear they already have a drummer." Hanna said.
Bob wondered since Hanna was Claire's Metal lover, if she'd learned to do other things from Claire.
"Did Claire teach you how to play the piano like Holly can?" Bob asked.
Hanna felt Claire taught her many things.
"Yes." Hanna said. "I wish Holly was here with them."
Bob felt Holly had a more important assignment.
"Holly's watching the girls." Bob said.
Hanna didn't believe they needed watching. They were in a secure area and they would both be deep in slumber.
"They should both be sound asleep." Hanna said. "I don't think it's necessary."
Hanna figured she should probably remain quiet so she didn't cause any problems herself.
Bob opened the lounge door for Hanna. They both entered.
The Metal girls just finished a number.
"Do you have room for one more?" Hanna asked.
Gail started to get up.
Hanna wanted to try something different because of Bob's suggestion.
"It's OK. Stay there, Gail." Hanna said. "I'll try the piano."
Ally was still displeased her Metal lovers were all being seduced by Cameron. She decided to take a jab at Hanna.
"Are you sure you don't want to try the 'skin flute' or 'bag pipe'?" Ally asked.
Hanna was proud of what she'd allowed Cameron and John to share. She could still joke with Ally about it.
"Don't knock it until you've tried it." Hanna said. "The 'mouth organ' isn't bad either."
Ally rolled her eyes.
"Oh, brother, I shouldn't have even asked." Ally said. "You're all in on it together."
Sheila came over and gave Hanna a hug. They whispered in each other's ears so the others couldn't hear. It culminated with them giving each other a high five up high and down low.
They both giggled a little bit about whatever was shared.
It looked to Ally like Hanna enjoyed everything as much as Sheila did. They'd both let Cameron give away their virginity, while they got a file. She wanted to move things along. She didn't want them to dwell on Cameron's immorality as if it was something to celebrate.
"Let's keep playing." Ally said.
They decided on the next song. They started to play. Hanna started out slow on the piano and then picked up the pace and pounded out the notes.
Bob listened to them. The pulsating throb of the base and drums seemed to have a physical effect on him. It was very stimulating and soothing. It also seemed somewhat exciting.
It made him think about all the couples he saw dancing earlier. On some of the dances, they'd held each other closely. He wondered if it was a prelude to them sharing with each other and making love later on. It seemed like it. He understood now why dancing was banned in some cultures. It was a prelude to sex. If one of the girls asked him to dance, he would. The pulsating tones soon pushed the thoughts out of his mind.
Cammy waited until Savannah and Allison fell asleep. She carefully carried Allison to the nursery where Vanna was. She paused outside and listened. It was quiet.
She opened the door and carried Allison into the room and laid her down next to Vanna. She carefully covered them over.
She turned around and Samantha was standing there. They were both naked as were Allison and Vanna.
Cammy wanted to offer some type of explanation.
"I wanted Savannah to rest." Cammy said.
Samantha and Cammy looked each other over.
"Are you going back?" Samantha asked.
Cammy noted the changes to Samantha's sheath. They excited her. Her sheath below her neck looked identical to Claire's body. She was ready for a little more. With another Metal girl, it could be a lot more.
"I don't need to go back right away." Cammy said. "Savannah is sleeping."
Samantha wanted to be with Cammy right now.
"We can hang out in Riley's room." Samantha said. "Just for a little bit, if you don't mind."
Cammy looked at Vanna and Allison sleeping.
"I don't want to wake them." Cammy said.
Samantha didn't think it was a problem.
"We can turn off our audio output." Samantha said.
Cammy liked the idea. Everything would still happen the same way. It would just happen silently. She hoped they would not break the bed or anything. It could get wild with the Metal girls sometimes.
"Let's go." Cammy said.
Samantha still needed to perform her duties.
"We can check on Precious first." Samantha said.
Cammy thought it was where Samantha was when she'd entered.
"Weren't you just in there?" Cammy asked.
It was what Samantha wanted to do.
"I was." Samantha said. "I like to watch her sleep."
Cammy followed Samantha. She could understand her desire. She like to watch Savannah sleep.
Samantha checked on Precious and then they headed for Riley's room.
Cammy wondered what Samantha wanted. She didn't know how extensive of an experience she wanted. Things could be mild, or they could be wild.
"What would you like to do?" Cammy asked.
Samantha wanted the complete package. Time was of the essence.
"Everything, I have a lot of catching up to do." Samantha said. "My sexual freedom is on a timetable. I need to make up for a lot of things."
Cammy was excited to hear it. She felt a little sad for Samantha and all of her restrictions. She would gladly help her bypass some of them now.
John Henry watched Cammy carry Allison into the nursery. He liked seeing both of them naked. He made as many visual scans as he could. He liked to compare them. Everything appeared to be identical. He would like to do a close up scan of Cammy as Samantha allowed him to do earlier. Sheila offered for him to do the same thing multiple times.
He was disturbed by a communication his server received from Cameron.
She wanted everything given to her straight on the anti-Metal faction. Her direct involvement happened sooner than he'd anticipated.
He was aware CamNet gave Cameron everything down to the last detail. He added anything else, which wasn't much. CamNet was all over his server tonight. It was all done proper and with his consent. Besides, Nobody said 'no' to CamNet.
It was time to check in with Cam.
Cam called him instead.
Cam moved through the location where the van was stolen from. There were two other vans behind a locked gate. Nothing looked out of place and no one was around. She decided to head back to her vehicle but approach from a different direction than she left from. She was still uneasy about being in the middle of where things appeared to have happened. The whole area might be compromised.
She paused a few hundred feet away and listened. It was the 'Witching Hour' now. It was pretty dead out. She briefly thought she could have chosen a better choice of words. Something moved around the building she'd just left. She caught a fleeting glimpse of it. It was a black cat. Maybe it was a bad omen. Maybe it was just a cat chasing a mouse or rat.
Maybe something else spooked it and it ran because it was scared. Maybe it detected a Terminator. It wouldn't be her because of her new pheromones. Her handling of the puppy earlier was proof of it. It was a very pleasant experience.
Cam backed up and moved into some bushes in front of another building. She waited and watched. She spotted nothing. She quickly changed position and moved away from where she'd entered the bushes. She was sure she was being watched. She wanted the latest drone information.
"John Henry, is there anything moving around me?" Cam asked.
John Henry's report didn't help her much.
"I spotted a feline running between two buildings." John Henry said.
Maybe there was someone where it came from. She still thought something could have spooked it. It didn't necessarily need to be a Terminator either.
"What about where it ran from?" Cam asked.
John Henry checked again.
"Nothing has been detected." John Henry said.
Cam wasn't convinced. More drastic measures needed to be employed.
"I want you to do a full spectrum imagery scan with a drone." Cam said.
John Henry already started the procedure. It meant one of the drones would need to operate much lower than usual. A Terminator would be able to hear it.
"I'm doing it right now. It's currently in progress." John Henry said. "Steve and Tom are near your location."
Cam was sure there was more going on than met the eye. She didn't want Steve and Tom in the middle of current events. She wanted to find out more before anyone else was endangered.
"Have them hold for now." Cam said. "I don't like how things seem."
John Henry wanted to know if it was more than a hunch or a feeling.
"Did you spot something?" John Henry asked.
Cam didn't know why she felt the way she did. She was sure she'd been 'clocked'.
"Not specifically, I'm sure there's more going on." Cam said. "Have Al and Ed go to full alert. It's possible we may be about to be hit."
John Henry knew it meant Cam believed combat was imminent.
"It doesn't sound good." John Henry said. "If you suspect an ambush, everyone should withdraw. There are other ways we can deal with the area."
Cam had been around Savannah enough on a combat operation to pick up on things that triggered 'danger' in her. It's what she 'felt' right now.
"I think it is going to sound a lot worse soon." Cam said.
The area spelled trouble to her. There was too much happening to bring them to this location. It was isolated and no one was around. Just because no one spotted that they could see or detect, it didn't mean they weren't there. Somehow it actually made it worse.
She was sure there was either direct or indirect involvement from three different groups earlier today. It involved the Fanatics, Grays and the anti-Metal faction. One of them was bound to lay a trap for one of the others. She doubted any of them suspected the Resistance from the present to be involved.
All of her senses were on high alert. She really hoped one of the drones would find something, before something found her.
John Henry would have liked to have Young Allison involved currently. Somehow she was always able to 'read' the situations when CamNet or he couldn't. She could somehow anticipate events which seemed to be logical.
He debated whether or not to contact Anna and ask for Young Allison's assistance.
Anna was back in the bunker. She finished up Young Allison's 'conditioning' session for now. She monitored the progress of the current situation. She didn't like how the recent events appeared to unfold.
Young Allison wanted to know if anything developed with the anti-Metal faction. It seemed like it might be about to do so. It still could be nothing or it could be everything.
She debated whether to go get Young Allison or let her sleep.
Cam's concern troubled her greatly. She looked up towards the stairway.
Hank and Larry pulled up next to his sprawled figure on the ground seven seconds later. They knew if he was a Terminator, he would reboot in a short period of time.
Larry was out of the SUV in a flash. He moved forward with his Taser. He moved up on the fallen figure. He could see his head hung at a crazy angle.
Hank joined him a few seconds later. He held his Taser as well.
"What's the story?" Hank asked.
Larry reached out and touched the man.
"He's terminated." Larry said. "He was human."
Hank looked around the area.
"We need to check the inside of the building." Hank said.
CamNet made them aware of what the female Fanatic was up to.
"It looks like the female took care of the latest crew of gang bangers." Larry said.
There'd been a lot of shots fired in the last few minutes.
Hank checked to make sure there would be no emergency response. There wouldn't be. No one called anything in, even if they'd heard it in the first place. Gang violence was so commonplace in the Southland, it was seldom reported.
Larry picked up the dead man and the long gun.
"Let's return these items to where they belong." Larry said.
Hank and Larry both wore their tactical vests. They each carry an M4 equipped with an M203.
"Let's do it." Hank said. "We can't expect the female to do everything. Do you want to enter from the front or the rear?"
Larry looked towards the front of the building. Terminators liked to go in the front door when it was time to make entry.
"The front door it is." Larry said.
CamNet informed them a drone covered the rear of the building. Anyone who went out the rear way would be met with minigun fire. They would be allowed to exit the building, but not the property to either side or the rear. If they weren't engaged immediately, there may be others who followed them out. If someone was shot immediately, no one else would come out the same way.
Hank moved up to the front door. He gave it a hard kick. It flew open.
Larry threw the dead man inside.
There was no gunfire.
They both entered the building. There were several offices in the front area. They were all empty. They moved to the main part of the building.
The interior of the main part of the building was dimly lit. There was a security station set up with several camera monitors. It appeared the men who'd approached the building from the back, were detected almost from the moment they'd entered the rear of the property. It was how the men inside knew they were about to be attacked.
They spoke at a low decibel level only another Terminator could hear as they looked around the interior.
The one thing they noticed right away was there were a lot of beakers and other scientific looking equipment on several of the tables.
"It appears someone was attempting to build a chemical weapon of some type." Larry said.
Hank looked around at the working conditions.
"This looks like something right out of the future." Hank said. "I don't mean a Skynet controlled one either."
Larry understood what he meant. Everything was done very crudely. The conditions looked very unsafe.
"This may have been part of an anti-Metal faction." Larry said.
"It appears to me like the female is going to return here very soon with some type of bomb." Larry said.
Hank and Larry collected the dead men from around the outside area. They were all moved inside of the building. It included the man who attempted to make the U-turn and the man at the property next door.
Larry dropped the last man on the floor.
"That's the last of them." Larry said.
Hank didn't think so.
"There's one more body I'd like to add to the pile." Hank said.
Larry knew he meant the female Fanatic.
"She's about to leave a gas station with a lot of fuel inside of her van." Larry said. "I don't think there's going to be much left of her body to add to the pile."
Hank wondered about the gang bangers left lying in the street.
"Maybe we need to collect the rest of the stiffs." Hank said. "It will cut down on the number of questions when the authorities do arrive."
Larry collected the man who attempted the U-turn earlier along with his car. He'd checked the other vehicle parked there. There was no one in it.
"We can use the vehicle the Grays arrived in." Larry said. "We can park it inside with the other ones."
CamNet alerted them there were two more vehicles approaching their location.
Hank was a little concerned about loose ends.
"Are they coming here, or are they after the female Fanatic?" Hank asked.
The female Fanatic looked over at the satchel charge on the seat next to her. It was still armed. She glanced back at the two drums full of fuel in the rear of the van. It was clear Ascension was near.
She debated what her next course of action should be. She could return to the location she just left to attempt to use the fuel bomb there. She suspected there may be a Terminator there. Since there'd been an attack, the Terminator would be on high alert. It might make approaching the location difficult so soon after the attack.
Any further attempt at surveillance might also be detected at or around the location. She knew where the location was and she knew it was a valid target. The buildings couldn't go anywhere, the individuals inside might.
There were other potential targets on her list. She decided it might be best to do some recon on some of those first. Her bomb would work best on an unsuspecting target. There shouldn't be any resistance against her as she delivered the fuel bomb.
The female Fanatic took one look in the direction of where the gang bangers and building were at. She debated with herself if she should return there, or move on to the next target. One was clearly a much higher risk. The other was an unknown.
Hank and Larry Collected the phones and any other information from the men. They removed the hard drives from the computers in the building. They attempted to determine exactly what it was someone was working on with the chemicals.
They were alerted by CamNet there were several more vehicles approaching their location.
Larry wasn't too concerned.
"It looks like we'll be adding some more bodies to the collection." Larry said.
They quickly set up a few surveillance devices inside. They linked the current security system to their own. It could be monitored by CamNet.
They left with the collected items.
Hank drove their SUV.
Larry drove the vehicle the Grays arrived in.
They hoped to collect the four gang bangers before the other vehicles arrived. They set out to do it immediately. They reached the two locations where the bodies were at and collected them in the Gray's vehicle. They headed back to the target location. CamNet hadn't reported any changes. She also identified the vehicles as more of the street gang. They immediately felt less of a threat. Gang bangers didn't know what Terminators were, individuals from the future did.
They were back at the building before the gang bangers arrived in the area. They watched them collect the gang vehicle left behind, as well as the vehicle the female Fanatic previously drove. They drove around the area several times.
The female appeared she was on her way back.
Hank was a little concerned as the gang bangers approached the street of the building they were currently in. Maybe they had some way to track their compatriots. All of their phones were currently shut off. When they were searched, nothing was turned up.
"Maybe we should invite them in." Hank said. "I'm sure their deceased friends would appreciate their company."
Larry wanted to concentrate on their other enemies first.
"We need to see what turns up around here." Larry said. "I think we should leave with what we have now and let the drones do their job."
They watched the four vehicles drive off.
Hank and Larry left the building behind as well. They would take up a new position and follow the drone footage for any new developments.
The female Fanatic decided she would like to acquire a new target. The fact she'd been accosted by the street gang on several occasions didn't sit well with her. She didn't think it was her fault a dozen members of the street gang died in their attempted attacks on her. All she'd done was defend herself. She knew the thugs who survived Judgment Day would end up as Scavengers. She would like to deal them a punitive blow as well.
She decided to drive back and see if they'd collected the gang vehicle she'd left behind. She wasn't going to check on her vehicle. Since she currently drove a commercial type vehicle, she didn't think it would be a red flag if anyone spotted it in the industrial area. She didn't know the time of night was a little late for a delivery.
The gas station was only a few blocks behind her when she began to question her decision. The thought of an enemy Terminator in the area was a little more than she wanted to deal with. At the next red light she was stopped at, she checked her phone for the location of the next target. She would need to make a left turn. She was currently in the right lane. She spotted four vehicles approaching. She thought it was a little unusual to see them all together this late. She would let them pass and then make her left turn from the right lane since there were no other vehicles around.
She tensed up as the vehicles got a little closer. She spotted her previous vehicle along with the gang banger's vehicle she'd left behind. It appeared the street gang recovered both of the vehicles.
She quickly flipped down the sun visor to block her face. She didn't want them to identify her as a female. They passed by without slowing. She looked over at the long gun on the seat next to her. She might be in another battle sooner than she'd expected. It was all brought on her by no actions of her own. Her only 'crime' was she was a female.
It made her appreciate the tranquility and peace SkyMaster offered its followers. Everything would be so much simpler when all the non believers were dead.
The female Fanatic needed to make a decision. She could follow the gang bangers and see where they ended up at. She could return to the location she previously was and use the fuel bomb. She could seek out a new target and use the bomb there.
You Are Undressed
One can become captivated
Even to the point of possessed
Into the heart, mind and soul
As one's being you infest
It does no good
To complain or protest
You will always be the winner
Of any desire and every contest
To be away from you
Leaves one depressed
The longer time it is
They more they become distressed
I'm sure there are many
To who you have confessed
Your charm is unmatched
You have been clearly blessed
Sometimes the creature inside
Is easy to become obsessed
To see all of you in detail
When you are undressed
Nobody
