Chapter 1320

Alright

Hanna, Sheila and Ally waited for Gail. They wanted to greet her when she exited the Owner's Suite. She appeared a short time later. There was a giant smile on Gail's face.

Ally looked at Gail.

"I wonder how it went." Ally said.

All Sheila needed was one look at Gail's face to tell.

"Look at her." Sheila said. "How do you think it went?"

Hanna needed to agree with Sheila.

"Have you ever seen her look happier than she does right now when Savannah isn't around?" Hanna asked.

Gail headed straight for the three of them.

They all hugged her.

Ally wanted to hear her say it.

"Well?" Ally asked.

Gail was very enthusiastic and animated. It was very unlike her normal appearance and demeanor. Normally she looked like she wanted to terminate someone. The smile on her face showed her true beauty.

"It was the best time ever for me." Gail said. "There was so much love and feeling. I want to do it again. I want Cameron to be in control. She made everything perfect."

The Metal girls all excitedly talked about what they'd shared with John and Cameron.

Ally felt like the 'odd man out'. She'd heard it from all four of them now. They all agreed it was the best thing ever, especially since they let Cameron do it for them. They were able to feel her advanced emotions and feelings. They could feel Cameron's love for John and his love for Cameron.

Sheila looked at Ally. She really wanted her to experience the love too.

"Are you ready now, Ally?" Sheila asked. "You've heard the truth from all four of us. It's time to grow up and become a 'big girl'."

Ally wondered what she was waiting for. What was so great about being a virgin anyway? It was just a technical term really. She'd been with all the girls and Sheila with 'some of her 'toys'. Maybe it was time to find out what the 'real thing' was like, even if it was Cameron in control. She decided to let Cameron 'break in' her chassis.

"Alright…." Ally said. "I'll give it a try. I'll let Cameron do it for me. It's not like there is anything there to actually lose."

Gail gave Ally a hug. She wanted to be with her lover now.

"You won't regret it." Gail said. "I need to see Jesse."

Sheila and Hanna understood why Jesse wanted to see Gail right now.

"I think Jesse really likes some things more than others do." Hanna said.

Sheila nodded.

Ally watched Gail go inside the Master Suite. She figured she would step up and take Gail's place tonight since she already had her turn. She was sure Cameron would attempt to get more Metal girls onto the ship.

"Jesse won't be here for me later tonight." Ally said.

Sheila smiled at Ally.

"I will…." Sheila said. "I'm the next best thing, if not better."

Ally needed to agree. Maybe the best part was, Sheila didn't need to sleep either.

Young Allison fired twice with the Taser at the Terminator who tried to come around in back of them.

He sprawled on the ground between Anna and Young Allison. It had been very close. If he would have used a firearm, he could have shot both of them.

"Do you hear anything else?" Young Allison asked.

Anna listened.

"No." Anna said.

Young Allison pulled her knife.

"We have two Terminators down with 'shockers' on them and this one here." Young Allison said. "I need to pull his chip and deactivate him."

Anna watched Young Allison move forward and reach for the Terminators head.

"I will make the incision right here." Young Allison said.

Anna watched Young Allison go through the move to cut his sheath open so she could pull his chip.

Young Allison had actually done it before at the mine. It was when she'd brought down her first Terminator. It took her several attempts the first time to cut open the sheath and remove the chip.

Anna watched Young Allison stand over the Terminator. She was about to remove his chip. She understood at the point the chip was pulled, the Terminator ceased to exist as an individual entity. It was now just a computer program on a chip. It could be crushed or erased. Everything which made the Terminator what it was, and gave it its individuality, would be lost and destroyed forever. She looked at Young Allison.

"So it ends, just like that?" Anna asked.

Young Allison frowned. It wasn't like it was her fault.

"I didn't make the rules." Young Allison said. "We were ambushed and attacked. We won and they lost."

Anna thought Young Allison could have played things differently.

"There were other ways to do this." Anna said.

Young Allison shrugged her shoulders. The way she did it seemed like the right way at the time. It proved successful. Everything worked out.

"Maybe there were." Young Allison said. "The cards landed a different way."

Anna and Young Allison backed up as the Terminator stirred. He sat up and looked around.

"Hi, Brian." Young Allison said. "I'm sorry I got your clothes dirty."

Brian stood. He greeted Young Allison and Anna.

Young Allison put her knife away, Brian noticed.

"You almost deactivated me." Brian said.

Young Allison smiled. She'd been tested. She wanted to make the test as realistic as possible. It seemed like it was. She didn't think there would be any hard feelings.

"Not today I didn't." Young Allison said. "Randy is over there and Mel is back a few hundred feet. They're resting."

Brian walked over to Randy. He started to reach for him. He could see he hadn't rebooted. There'd only be one reason why he hadn't.

"Where is the shocker?" Brian asked.

Young Allison giggled.

"I'll get it." Young Allison said. "Turn around."

Brian did as he was instructed.

Anna watched as Young Allison reached inside Randy's pants. Her hand was right in the middle of them.

Young Allison glanced over in Anna's direction. She wanted to make sure Brian wasn't looking.

"Oh my, that's a big one." Young Allison said. "I thought it would be firmer. Those other things are pretty loose."

Anna moved over to Randy in a second. She gave Young Allison a stern look.

"Just retrieve the shocker." Anna said. "I don't want you to touch anything else."

Young Allison withdrew her hand. The shocker was in it. She laughed.

"I was just fooling around. I only retrieved the shocker." Young Allison said. "I didn't touch anything else."

Brian looked nervous.

"You can look now." Young Allison said.

Brian went over to help Randy up.

Randy opened his eyes.

"Hi, Randy." Young Allison said.

Randy greeted Young Allison and Anna.

Young Allison smiled at him.

"I'm sorry I got your clothes dirty." Young Allison said.

Young Allison brushed some dirt off his pants.

"I never saw you." Randy said.

Anna smiled. It was a technique Young Allison and her worked out.

"You weren't supposed to. It was the whole point." Anna said. "I knew where Allison was at. I chose to evade rather than fight so you'd follow me. You ran blindly into an ambush."

Randy realized it was a sucker play. He nodded in recognition.

Young Allison took Randy and Brian by the hand. She was very pleased with the outcome of the test. It could have ended differently. It didn't.

Randy and Brian were both thrilled by the physical contact with Young Allison. The fact she'd taken both of them down wasn't lost on them either.

Young Allison wanted to get all of the team together.

"Let's go get Mel." Young Allison said.

As they neared Mel, Anna moved in front of them. She didn't want Young Allison to be tempted to touch anything else when the shocker was retrieved.

"I'll handle it." Anna said. "You three wait here."

Anna quickly went to Mel.

She waited for the shocker to send another pulse and carefully reached inside Mel's pants.

'That is a big one.' Anna thought. 'I expected it would be harder. The other things do seem kind of loose.'

She reached over and removed the shocker.

Anna looked back where the other three were at. Young Allison winked at her.

It was clear they'd both touched the two downed Terminator's a little more than they were going to admit.

Anna tried to suppress a smile and shrugged her shoulders.

Jesse and Claire peeked out of the Master Suite door.

They saw and heard everything the Metal girls discussed.

Claire felt a little envious as she listened.

"I'm glad she had a good experience for her 'first time'." Claire said.

The thought made Jesse think of her 'first time'.

"It was better than mine." Jesse said.

Claire squeezed Jesse's arm and brought her back inside the suite. She thought back on her first experience. It was without her consent as well.

"I missed most of mine." Claire said. "I was drugged. At least I missed the initial pain. It was probably what brought me around. I didn't even realize what was happening at first. I couldn't really even move."

Jesse remembered her first experience like it was yesterday.

"I didn't miss anything. I felt everything." Jesse said. "I wish I would have been drugged. I was stripped and held down. I knew what was happening every second. They took turns and laughed about it. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. They flipped me over and started again. The more I screamed the more excited it seemed to make them. They all went at least two, if not three times each."

It always bothered Jesse how they made it seem like it was her fault. How was it her fault? She was the victim. They're the ones who took her by force. Maybe she was lucky they didn't just kill her. She felt like a worthless piece of trash after it happened.

Claire didn't want Jesse to go down a bumpy path. She knew all of the Metal girls had a very pleasant experience. Gail was just the latest one. She thought it was what they should focus on now. The past was the past.

"We need to be happy for Gail and share her joy." Claire said. "She 'made it' at least three or four times from what I heard. I just want to 'make it' once with a male."

Jesse wanted to tell her it wasn't as spectacular as it seemed it should be. It was better than just being 'used' as a receptacle.

Gail entered the suite and moved towards Jesse. She gave her a big hug.

"You're a big girl now." Jesse said with a smile and a kiss.

Gail was very pleased she was a 'woman' now. She briefly told them about what Cameron did with John as she controlled her chassis. She was glad she could experience it all and that Cameron shared the file with her. It was almost as if she'd done it herself with the file shared in real time.

Claire wondered if she was like the other Metal girls. They all wanted more.

"Would you want to do it again?" Claire asked.

Gail looked at Claire.

"I want to do it again." Gail said. "I mean I want Cameron to do it for me again. I'd stay in there for the rest of the cruise if it was possible."

It was all Claire needed to hear. She was going to give it a try herself. Cameron asked her to get closer to John. What was she waiting for? She'd been at John's door more than once. She just never opened it and went inside. She knew it was her daughter who was supposed to be in John's bed.

It seemed if she was ever going to get a chance, she would need to act before one of her daughters did. She may not have ever been able to make it herself but she'd been able to make others make it plenty of times as they used her.

Her experience to give would be a lot more extensive than what her daughters could provide. She knew what to do. They didn't. They would learn soon enough. When they started out, they would be amateurs. She didn't think it was a bad thing either. Maybe it was better to start with a clean slate. John could teach them what he liked and what to concentrate on.

Jesse removed Gail's robe. She wanted to move things along.

"Let's get started." Jesse said as she led Gail toward the bed.

Gail was already 'started'. She knew Jesse would be rewarded soon enough.

Claire thought maybe they should be alone as they reaffirmed their closeness. It seemed like it should be a more private setting.

"I'm going to check on the girls." Claire said. "I want to make sure they get everything packed before we get on the tender."

She wasn't sure if they even heard her. Jesse was already feverishly at work on Gail.

Claire slipped out and headed for the spare room of the Honeymoon Suite. Maybe she would run into Sarah again. She loosened her robe some. She wanted to be seen. Now it made her think about one of those things she read about with a mother and son threesome. She'd be happy to have them separate too. It would probably be better for the first experience with each of them. No matter how it played out she wanted to be with John and Sarah.

If she had a choice to be with one of them, she was sure it would be with Sarah. She knew how to please Sarah and she knew Sarah would be able to deliver. She still wasn't sure if she could make it with a male. It seemed all of the Metal girls were able to. Well, it was actually Cameron every time. It just seemed like John spent enough time to make sure things happened the way they should.

She was aware in a consensual relationship, it usually started out with the male trying a little harder than they did as time went on. It didn't take long for the male just to do his business and be done with her. From what she'd read in Cosmo, it was a common occurrence. She hoped John would be better than the others.

Cammy followed Savannah out of the menagerie. She took one last look behind her as the door closed. She really wondered 'who' was under all of the sheets. She hurried to catch Savannah. She fell in step in back of Savannah again.

Savannah paused and reached back. She took Cammy's hand and moved her up alongside of her. She wanted it to be seen Cammy was her equal. They walked along, side by side, hand in hand. It was a show of closeness.

Cammy felt she needed to say something. She was very unsure how to help Savannah. Maybe there was no way to help.

"I don't know what to say." Cammy said.

Savannah shrugged her shoulders as she walked. The events of the past were done.

"What's there to say?" Savannah asked.

Cammy squeezed Savannah's hand.

"I'm sorry." Cammy said. "I may not feel it like you do, but I understand."

Savannah stopped at the bag full of things for CamNet she'd left by the door. She didn't want to cause Cammy any distress or further animosity. She just wanted to be who she was.

"Then I hope you understand this." Savannah said.

Cammy looked at Savannah for a few seconds and then at the door she was about to enter. She knew the events going forward were out of her control. They shouldn't be in her control in the first place. They belong to Savannah and CamNet.

"I guess I do." Cammy said.

Cammy turned to walk away.

Savannah reached out and stopped her. She gave Cammy a kiss and deepened it some. They both knew CamNet would be watching.

"Then you understand what this means too." Savannah said.

Cammy smiled. It was Savannah's show of support as to how much she cared about her. It didn't matter who was watching.

"Yes I do." Cammy said.

Savannah didn't want any hard feelings. What was about to happen here was no different than what went on around the base. Or was it? She thought she knew the direction things would go. She wasn't sure. It would all be up to CamNet as to what happened or didn't happen. She wasn't going to force the issue or push anyone.

"I really don't know how long I'll be." Savannah said. "I need to see Young Allison too at some point. I'm not going to ask you to wait here for me. You can go with Cam, Vanna and Allison or you can work on some things here."

Cammy wanted to go back into the menagerie and look under every sheet. She wanted to know what Cameron was up to. She wondered who was under the other two empty sheets.

"Can I go back into the storage area?" Cammy asked.

Savannah thought it was a bad idea. She purposely didn't look elsewhere when she was in there. It was Cameron's area and she wanted it respected as such.

"You'll need to ask Cameron. Everything there is her doing" Savannah said. "I only know my 'parents' are in there and 'Allure'. We both know where 'Fusions' chassis ended up at. Now you know as much as I do."

Savannah previously looked at inactive chassis of both 'Allure' and 'Fusion'. She'd selected 'Fusion' for CamNet's chassis. She was pretty sure at some point in time Young Allison would do the 'Neural Interface' with CamNet. She thought it should be done in 'Fusion's chassis'. 'Allure' belonged to the 'Neural Interface' from Future Allison.

Cammy was willing to bet there were Terminator versions of all of the Resistance members in there, including John, Sarah and Riley. She also knew 'Allure' would be the improved version of Cameron since she would be with the updated 'Neural Interface' with a more educated and refined 'Future Allison'. She didn't want to push the issue.

She knew it wouldn't be long until Savannah and Young Allison were together full time. She was actually surprised it hadn't already occurred. She knew it was because of Savannah's restraint. It seemed the prospect going forward was rather dim for her.

"It was just a thought." Cammy said. "I'm sure one day my chassis will end up in there."

Savannah touched Cammy's cheek. She wanted to make her position clear.

"Maybe after I'm dead it might." Savannah said. "It will never be before then."

Cammy smiled and gave Savannah another kiss. She knew Savannah would watch out for her and protect her. It made her feel bad again about the way she'd treated Savannah earlier. It was everyone else she should be upset at, not Savannah. Everyone else was responsible for the things Savannah needed to do.

"I'll be in the lab or workroom until you need me." Cammy said. "Do what you want and have a good time."

Cammy walked away. She looked back once and winked at Savannah.

Savannah watched her go. It looked like all their issues were resolved for now. The door opened in back of her. She went in and went down a level. The first blast door opened. She entered and it closed behind her. The second blast door opened.

She walked inside CamNet's bunker and mainframe complex. She really wondered where she was headed. Sure it was CamNet's bunker, but what was the final destination? She really doubted this was. At what point would she be responsible for 'creating' something no one could control? She at least hoped to have influence in a positive way.

The room was dark.

"I've been waiting for you." CamNet said.

Savannah couldn't see much. She felt she needed to justify her prolonged absence. It was something which bothered her because of the delay.

"Hello, CamNet." Savannah said. "I apologize for not returning sooner."

Savannah could see CamNet moving around in the dim light.

CamNet was aware of where Savannah was at every second of every day. The operations had been rather extensive recently.

"Hi, Savannah. It's only been a few days." CamNet said. "You've been busy."

Savannah wasn't sure if it referred to her Resistance activities, or her personal activities around the base. Both had been very busy.

"Can I give you a hug to greet you?" Savannah asked.

There was more movement in the background.

"You can." CamNet said. "I'd like that."

Savannah wondered what was going on. She wondered if she should have brought her night vision equipment.

"Is there something different down here?" Savannah asked. "It is hard for me to see."

The lights came on dimly at first and gradually grew brighter.

Savannah expected to see CamNet with the appearance of Young Allison or maybe somewhere in between Cameron's age appearance and Young Allison's age appearance. If it was the case, it would be kind of Hot. She thought about it a little more and realized there actually wasn't much difference between Young Allison's appearance and Cameron's appearance any longer.

It made her wonder if a visit to the past was even necessary any longer. With the events which were based around it, it seemed it was still necessary. She wasn't sure what they'd encountered in the Nevada desert was actually anything Young Allison was involved with. She didn't think it was the Young Allison from their current timeline anyway. She would like to find out what timeline the other Young Allison was actually in. It probably meant there was another version of her as well. That's unless she'd been terminated. She pushed the thoughts from her mind. She was there with CamNet now.

Holly prompted Jan and Summer to get dressed. She made sure they collected all their things. They actually didn't have much to gather.

Jan looked around the room and out the balcony window.

"I want to stay longer." Jan said. "I like it here. It's fun."

Holly wanted Jan to show some moderation.

"You need to do what your parents want." Holly said. "You're a respectful girl."

Summer would prevent any problems.

"She will." Summer said. "I will too."

There was a knock at the door to the private area. The door opened and Claire entered.

Summer smiled at her mother.

"Hi, Mom." Summer said.

Claire touched Summer's cheek and smiled.

"I see everyone is all ready." Claire said.

Jan looked at Claire.

"You're not." Jan said.

Summer could see her mother's robe was about to fall open. She moved closer to her and gave her a hug as she closed up her robe. She then cinched her robe belt a little tighter. No words were spoken in the encounter. They didn't need to be. The message was clear.

"Why can't we stay longer?" Jan asked again. "Only Jesse and Riley need to go back for Precious."

Summer saw a bigger picture.

"They'll be lonely if they go back alone." Summer said. "The ones who love them want to go with them to comfort them."

Jan didn't see a need for her parents to leave.

"My parents don't need to go." Jan said.

Holly saw compassion and people who cared about each other.

"They'll want to support Riley and Derek." Holly said.

Jan thought Summer and her could stay and a Terminator could 'watch' them.

"You can still watch us, Holly." Jan said.

Summer knew her sister was coming.

"Allison will be onboard." Summer said. "Holly will want to spend time with her."

Jan knew there were others.

"Gail can watch us." Jan said. "She had fun with us. I could tell."

Claire didn't want things to get out of hand.

"You need to speak to your parents, Jan." Claire said. "You know they make the decisions for you."

There was a knock on the connecting door from the Honeymoon Suite.

Claire quickly loosened her robe again. It never hurt to advertise. She hoped it was Sarah. If things looked promising, she would pursue Sarah. She would offer to teach her music or dance. The 'lessons' would both give them close physical contact. She could work on her culinary skills with Sarah. She hoped it would lead them to work on their cunnilingus skills. A rush of excitement flooded her mind.

Summer looked at her mother and frowned.

Cameron was almost there. She already knew John finished a few seconds ago. She was driving him crazy right now by not stopping. She felt the feeling build and then explode. She slowed rapidly and stopped. She rested atop John.

She was sure after using Gail's chassis, she probably felt like the 'Grand Canyon'. There was a very noticeable difference to her. She was much closer on internal comparison with Holly, Sheila and Hanna. It seemed each of them possessed unique external features or attributes. It would take some doing, but the specific genes could be traced down for each feature from each of them and combined into the 'ultimate package'. It was an idea she would work on.

John was relieved Cameron finally stopped. He didn't know how much more he would have been able to take.

"Wow!" John said. "You were fantastic."

Cameron wanted John to enjoy his honeymoon, THEIR honeymoon.

"You tell me what you want and you'll have it." Cameron said.

Cameron would do anything John wanted. She would make sure he was able to have whoever he wanted as well.

John pulled Cameron down on top of him. He wanted to remind her how he felt. He looked into her eyes. They were right in front of his.

"I already have it right now." John said. "This is all I need or want. YOU, just like this, are perfect for me."

Cameron monitored John's responses to the different chassis she'd 'broke in'. She knew the statement wasn't entirely true. John was very excited with the variety of different female chassis as he took each of the Metal girl's virginity.

She planned to get all of the Metal girls at some point to use the tether with John and her. There were a few chassis at her base she intended to use too. It would require they were used in total darkness so John couldn't see them. It would give her a better idea of how those cyborgs were as humans in bed. Maybe it would explain why John once chose someone else over her before. Maybe it wouldn't. It was more than a physical attraction.

She quickly climbed off of John with the last thought.

"We need to get ready soon if you want to do the buffet." Cameron said.

John wondered about the others.

"Will everyone else get a chance to eat before they disembark?" John asked. "It will be their last meal onboard the ship."

Cameron tilted her head slightly and listened.

"They've all finished up." Cameron said. "They should clean up and start to dress soon."

It was a little more detail than John expected or wanted to know.

"O–K." John said.

Cameron wanted to check everything herself.

"While you get cleaned up and dressed, I'll check on everyone else and make sure their luggage is collected and taken to the tender when we need it there. I'll have Jim collect it and Bob secure it. We'll board our tender from the forward hatch and avoid the crowd that will be at mid-ship. We'll be on the opposite side too."

Cameron knew they would board their tender from the other side of the ship to be out of the view of most of the other passengers. Everyone's attention would be focused on where the majority of people were boarding. There would be a small flotilla of tenders on the other side. They would wait to take their position alongside the ship as the one in front of them left.

John looked down at Cameron.

"You might need to clean up a little first." John said.

Cameron looked down at herself. She really liked Gail's chassis more right now. It appeared this part was unnecessary for Gail.

Young Allison thanked the Detail for helping her with the training exercise. She again apologized to the Detail for actually taking them down. Normally she would just tell them they were down and they would act as if it was real. The branch that swung back and deflected one of the Taser shots was proof of why she needed to practice for real. If it would have been a single shot Taser, she would have been in trouble.

The Detail didn't know Young Allison was going to use her Taser. They were glad at this point she didn't use her Model 66. The last thing they wanted was a Coltan projectile rupturing their power cell or unnecessary sheath damage.

Young Allison laid out her plan on where she'd run before she returned home. Brian took off in front of her and Mel fell behind her. Randy went back to the SUV. It was good to have transportation close by if it was needed.

Anna started her quiz again as Young Allison ran. Normally Young Allison set the pace but now Anna did. She was going to make Young Allison work a little harder. It's what Young Allison wanted. She only improved by practice and pushing herself a little further than required.

Young Allison expected Anna to say something about the live Taser fire. She didn't. Right now she could feel Anna work her hard.

Anna sped up more and continued the fast pace. She expected Young Allison to say something or ask her to slow down some. Young Allison kept the pace. She was aware at that point, Young Allison would stay with her until she dropped. The test then came back on her to slow down or she would be responsible if anything 'happened' to Young Allison. It was the same as Savannah never saying anything to Cameron about how tired or hungry she was. Instead, she soldiered on and remained at Cameron's side. Young Allison would be no different.

It was clear to Anna, the two girls really were the 'Chosen Ones'.

Sheila, Ally and Hanna got the room service carts ready to return to the galley. They would need to get all the rooms back in order before Vanna and Allison arrived. If the group went to breakfast, they could get things done and go with the others ashore.

Ally was aware Cam and Allison were coming so she would need to remain on the ship for today. She didn't see it as a big deal. She'd promised Jim earlier she would take his position so he could visit at least one of the ports. Now she had a legitimate excuse why she needed to remain on the ship. It would give Jim the opportunity to go ashore and interact with the others. It was only fair. He was very popular with the Reese Clan anyway.

Jesse and Gail finished up.

Gail wanted Jesse to have a good breakfast before she left. She wouldn't see her for a few days. She understood the vital service Jesse would provide to Precious.

Everything that happened gave Gail something to ponder. She would like Cameron to make love to Savannah in her chassis. She knew Cameron and Savannah both wanted to share but hadn't yet. What could be more beautiful than to have Cameron and Savannah share for the first time with her chassis? She was sure it would top the experience of Cameron with John in her chassis.

As it was, the Metal girls all got a taste to see what Cameron was really like inside and the depth of her 'evolution'. There was no doubt with any of them after the experience as to why Cameron was their leader and why all the Terminators followed her. It was evident they all had a ways to go before they could even match where Cameron was now. How far advanced would Cameron be at that point? At what point would Cameron be a 'mechanical human'? Maybe it already happened. It seemed that way at times.

Gail led Jesse into the bathroom where they cleaned up together.

"Are you going to miss this?" Gail asked.

Jesse hoped Gail was talking about the ship and not herself.

"It's a far cry from the Wastelands." Jesse said. "I do enjoy everything, but I don't need it. I only need four things."

Gail wondered what they were.

"What are they?" Gail asked.

Jesse rotated around in the shower and faced Gail.

"Air, food and water." Jesse said.

Gail tilted her head slightly.

"That's only three things." Gail said. "What's the fourth one?"

Jesse smiled at Gail.

"You." Jesse said.

Gail felt tears form in her eyes when she heard it. She wondered if some of Cameron's programming rubbed off on her when she shared the file in real time.

It was the most special thing anyone could say to her.

"Now I know why I love you so much." Gail said as she gave Jesse a kiss.

Jesse smiled back at her. She wanted to keep it that way. She did love Gail and wanted Gail to always love her.

The female Fanatic headed towards the new target location in her vehicle. She was familiar with the satellite images. She decided to drive by the front of the building and take a look. She wanted to see what she would need to go up against.

The first thing she noticed as she approached the location was the lack of traffic around the area. It was still early, it sure wasn't early enough there shouldn't be other vehicles around. She decided not to drive by the front of the building. She drove around the street in back of the building.

It was just as empty as the other street was.

Her first impression was no one was in the building any longer. They may never have been in the building at all. She briefly thought it could be one of the neighboring buildings which was the actual target. She hadn't seen any activity anywhere.

The entire area left her with a 'bad feeling'.

She decided to do a drive by anyway. She continued around the rear area. She came up on the next street and turned right. When she turned right on the next street, she would be on the street which ran in front of the building. She stopped just short of the corner. Something seemed a little off to her. She left the vehicle running. She set the parking brake and got out.

She moved out to the corner building and looked down towards the target location. She saw a box truck pull out from along the side of the building and start to make a turn. It would come in her direction.

'Great.' The female Fanatic thought.

She didn't want her cover blown before she started. She ran back to the vehicle and put it into reverse. She hurried back around the corner of the street she'd just come off of. She left the car running and got out again. She hurried over to the corner of the building and watched. She saw the box truck continue on straight on the street it was on. She wanted to know where the box truck was going.

She decided to go straight on the street her car was on. It paralleled the other street. She quickly hurried down towards the next intersection. She pulled up to the corner and looked towards the next street. She didn't see the box truck go by. She made a right turn and quickly drove up to the street.

She looked to the right and didn't see it coming. She looked to the left and saw it make a right hand turn around the next corner. It seemed they picked up their speed quite a bit. She made a left hand turn and headed in the direction it went. When she reached the next street, she made a right hand turn. The box truck was in front of her.

It was two blocks in front of her. There were no other vehicles around. At some point they were going to notice they were being followed. She would need to acquire another vehicle somewhere along the way if she continued to pursue them. She wanted to know where they were going. They'd come from somewhere. They'd been to the target location and they were going somewhere. She wanted to know what they needed the truck for.

The box truck reached an intersection with a signal. It was a larger street. The light was red. She turned right at the next smaller street she came to. She was still two blocks behind the truck. She quickly did a three-point turn and parked the car. She got out and looked around the corner of a fence. The box truck was still there. If they'd been watching for a tail, there was no one behind them. She hoped the truck turned either left or right at the signal. Since it was still there, it probably wasn't going to make a right hand turn.

The signal turned green. The box truck made a left hand turn. She ran back to her vehicle. She made a right hand turn and hurried up to the main street. She knew the signal would be red when she arrived. It was. It didn't daunt her. She quickly made a right hand turn. She cut in front of a bus. It blew its horn at her. She didn't care. She moved over into the next lane to the left. She'd cut in front of another car. She saw it was clear on the oncoming traffic side and made a U-turn. She was now headed in the other direction. The driver of the second car flipped her off as it passed her. She ignored it. She could see the box truck up ahead. It was about three streets ahead of her.

She hoped the bus and the other vehicle blocked the view of the driver of the box truck if he'd been looking behind him. They may have seen her vehicle make the U-turn but it shouldn't register anything of significance. It was past the direction they'd come from. They didn't have a car behind them as they'd waited at the signal to turn.

The female Fanatic briefly looked around her to make sure she didn't have a tail. She didn't spot anyone and she hadn't seen any police vehicles.

Minutes ago:

CamNet's Terminators closed to within a quarter of a mile of the female Fanatic. They continue to watch her progress from the drone footage.

They were about to move when they saw her pause.

"There doesn't appear to be much activity around the location." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator looked at the drone image.

"I only see a box truck behind one building." The second Terminator said. "She doesn't know it's there."

The drone zoomed in on the box truck.

The first Terminator could see it was being loaded.

"That's interesting." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator looked at the images.

"I would like to know what's in those crates." The second to Terminator said.

It appeared they were done loading the truck. Someone closed the rear door. The truck pulled away from the back of the building. It was headed for the street.

They watched the female Fanatic drive around the block. They thought she would stop at the building in back of the location. She didn't. She continued on. It appeared she was going to drive up the side street and approach the building from the other side when she made a second right. They were surprised to see her park and get out. She spotted the box truck leaving the location and ran back to her car. They saw her do some evasive maneuvering as she followed the truck.

"She seems very adept in everything she does." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator knew one could never underestimate the enemy. Once someone started to do it, it was a mistake.

"She's a formidable opponent." The second Terminator said. "We will need to keep it in mind when we take her down."

CamNet's Terminators were about to start their relaxed pursuit again. There was one drone for the female Fanatic and one which orbited around them. It now concentrated on the building the box truck left from. The other drone stayed with the box truck and the female Fanatic.

They were given new instructions. It surprised them somewhat. It was clear CamNet didn't want to wait for the female Fanatic to return. It was most likely because something was loaded into the back of the box truck.

They quickly checked their weapons. The change in the mission isn't what they'd expected.

"It looks like we're going in." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator was a little apprehensive of CamNet's instructions.

"At least we'll be going in the front door." The second Terminator said.

Both Terminators were given a complete rundown on the procedure they were to follow. It had been used several times previously. It was used as recently as yesterday. It was clear CamNet really wanted to know what was going on inside of the building.

"I only thought we would need this apparel if we conducted an 'off the books' operation." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator thought everything they were doing was 'off the books'. They understood what the other Terminator meant.

"I hope we don't get shot up too bad." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator agreed. They didn't think it would matter.

"We will most likely go back into storage when we're done with this operation." The first Terminator said. "Any damage we sustained should be repaired by the next time we're activated."

CamNet's Terminators parked a block away and proceeded to approach the location on foot. They only carried a sidearm and Taser with them. There wasn't much room to conceal anything else. They would most likely need to rely on their Terminator abilities for a successful completion of the operation.

The female Fanatic briefly looked around her to make sure she didn't have a tail. She followed the box truck for a few more streets. She saw them pull over to the curb and park.

She could see they were in front of a fast food restaurant. She understood they couldn't go through the drive thru with the box truck. She thought one of them would go in and order something. She pulled over to the curb and parked two blocks away. There were three parked cars between her and the box truck.

She was a little surprised to see the driver's door open and the driver get out. The passenger door opened and two more men got out. It appeared they were going to eat inside of the fast food restaurant.

The female Fanatic exited her vehicle and ran towards the location where the men went inside to eat. She wanted to take a look at what was going on and if they could see the truck from where they were inside.

Alright

Will tomorrow bring some insight
Will everything be sunny and bright
Maybe when the new day comes
It's only the path to twilight

One needs to see beyond midnight
There won't always be moonlight
Things that once were shared
Will soon vanish under the starlight

When one looks back with hindsight
How hard would it have been to be polite
Look ahead with some foresight
Through the clouds will shine some daylight

Things should not be trite
There's no need for despite
Things can go much smoother
As with each other they share and excite

The flame inside will ignite
There will be joy and delight
Nothing needs to stay the same
Everything will turn out alright

Nobody
