Chapter 1363
This Was Their Idea
Cameron led the team into the rear lounge to watch the Zumba exercise session.
John was surprised at the number of older women who were there for the class. It wasn't his cup of tea. He liked the youthful appearance of the Metal girls. Maybe he just liked to see 'everything' where it was supposed to be.
Allison and Vanna watched the intense level of exercise.
"I'm out." Allison said. "I think the galley tour is more my speed."
Vanna didn't seem interested in Zumba either.
"It looks like too much work." Vanna said. "I'm already tired just watching them exercise."
Cameron led them away. There were other more sedate activities they could do.
"We can always play miniature golf or shuffleboard." Cameron said.
Shuffleboard seemed to be an age old tradition on passenger ships.
"Didn't they play shuffleboard on the Titanic?" Vanna asked.
Cameron wasn't sure if they did or not. The reference somewhat alarmed her. Maybe she would have Bob personally check every lifeboat. She wanted to make sure everything was in order.
"I don't know." Cameron said. "I think they did."
John wanted to get away from the Titanic reference as well. Now he thought about being the 'King Of The World'. Cameron previously told him they could do it on the forward upper deck. He didn't want to do it where the captain could see them. They'd used the deck below instead. It was shielded from the view of the bridge.
"Maybe we should stick with miniature golf." John said.
They all thought it sounded like a good idea.
Cameron knew they could also pass by the nude sunbathing area with a slight detour. It wouldn't hurt to take a look. She wanted to remind John what was available. All of the Metal girls volunteered to allow her to use their chassis whenever she wanted. It would be done in the same way as when she'd taken their virginity from them and delivered it to John. She'd been able to be a virgin six more times for John. She looked over at John and smiled. It was the best honeymoon ever.
Savannah and Young Allison emerged from the back of the van with their beach attire on. They giggled and laughed as they came out.
Cammy and Anna entered the van and emerged less than a minute later.
Savannah was a little surprised at how quickly they changed.
"Did you put any sun screen on?" Savannah asked.
Cammy didn't think it was necessary. Her sheath was highly durable. It could take much more solar radiation than human skin could. It would take a long time for her sheath to show any ill effects.
"No." Cammy said.
Young Allison glanced over at Savannah.
"We did." Young Allison said.
Savannah and Young Allison giggled some more.
Anna wanted to make sure the girls were looked after in any environment.
"It never hurts to be protected." Anna said.
Cammy carried a few towels.
"We don't need those." Young Allison said. "At least until we change back."
Anna didn't want Young Allison to feel cold.
"The ocean water isn't as warm as the pool water is." Anna said.
Savannah remembered the time when she was about to kiss Cameron on the pier. She'd needed to jump in the ocean to save the small child caught in a rip current. The water was very cold. She was pumped full of adrenaline so she was able to manage. A surfer helped her out and took the child ashore on his surfboard as she swam away to avoid the attention.
"I can attest it's cool." Savannah said. "It gets cold very fast."
Young Allison looked at Savannah and knew what she referred to. CamNet let her see the reports about the 'redheaded mermaid' who'd 'saved' the child from drowning. The child always maintained a 'mermaid' came up from the deep water below them to help them. It was because Savannah jumped off of the pier and went down deeper in the water. She'd spotted the child above her as she came back up to the surface.
The four girls headed down to the water's edge.
Mel, Brian and Randy soon appeared wearing shorts.
Young Allison glanced over.
"I think it's a first." Allison said.
Savannah was going to tell her it could be worse. More than likely, if Sheila was with them, she would go nude. She quickly realized it was something Young Allison would like to see. She would too.
There weren't many people at the beach because it was early. There was a heavy parking fee if someone only used the beach. There was a substantial discount if they ate in the restaurant. There was also a short pier located there. It was used mainly for fishing. The majority of the people would show up for lunch and dinner. The restaurant was usually sold out for dinner. The people who could afford the high prices, could afford the parking fee. Money generally meant nothing to any of them.
The girls would play some beach volleyball and splash in the surf a little. They didn't go out past the waves. They could see it made the Terminators uneasy for them to go beyond where they could get to them easily.
The shark reports bothered Savannah. She didn't want anything to happen to Young Allison.
Cammy wondered what it would be like to face off with a shark in combat. A shark would have the advantage because it would be in its natural environment. She would need to stick with the seafloor.
She was sure she could deliver a fatal blow to the shark with her fist. Sharks didn't have any bones. Their skeletal structure consisted of cartilage. It was such an efficient killing machine, it never needed to evolve much from its original prehistoric condition. Most of them didn't have very big brains either. Even if it attempted to bite her, she should be able to grab its jaws and rip them apart.
The girls all worried about each other.
Derek and Kyle wanted a mission. Steve and Tom were back along with Al and Mel. The Reese brothers waited for John Henry to come up with something. They would even gladly take a recon at this point. They just wanted to do more.
They continued to watch all the footage CamNet and John Henry came up with about Savannah in the field and in combat. They'd seen some of it before. Most of it was new. The more they watched, the more they were impressed with Savannah's exploits. She was on multiple 'death defying' missions. She was with Cameron mostly. Sometimes Cammy was there. They couldn't tell the difference. Savannah was in two different futures too. They were different from their future. Those futures looked just as bleak as their own. It looked like every future sucked.
Suddenly it hit Derek. Maybe John Henry was trying to stall them.
"Are you trying to keep us here?" Derek asked.
John Henry tilted his head slightly.
"No." John Henry said.
Kyle understood Derek's inference.
"If you got something, we want to know." Kyle said.
John Henry didn't want things to get out of hand.
"I have nothing concrete." John Henry said.
Derek and Kyle knew his statement left a lot of leeway.
Kyle wanted to try a different approach
"What do you have that isn't concrete?" Kyle asked.
John Henry didn't want the Reese brothers in combat. What happened last night was bad enough. He quietly had his server send a message to Samantha to have Riley or Sarah pass by the Command Center. He could use some marital reinforcements and hopefully some restraint. He figured they were the only ones who could put the brakes on for Derek and Kyle.
Sheila and Ally finished up with the suites. They bid Jim farewell and headed out of the private area. They called a truce on making each other's tops or bottoms fall off. They all but ran up the stairs to get back to the nude sunbathing area. The only people there were the Metal girls still. They were a little disappointed.
Ally really hoped there would be some 'fresh meat' up there for them to check out.
"This place seems like 'Deadsville'." Ally said.
Sheila wanted a little variety.
"I'll say." Sheila said. "I was hoping for some fresh skirt."
Ally hoped something happened in their absence.
"Has anyone else even come here?" Ally asked. "We weren't gone very long were we?"
Holly sat up on her lounge chair.
"There have only been three more men by to peek in the gate before they hurried off." Holly said.
It sounded like a challenge to Sheila. She still wondered if she could cause someone to experience heart failure as they gazed upon her naked sheath. Termination by visual stimulation seemed like a new form of warfare.
"Did anyone give them the 'full view'?" Sheila asked.
The other Metal girls were more reserved. They didn't want to show off in such a manner, especially to strangers.
"We decided to save the 'honor' for you." Hanna said. "It seemed more fitting for an 'exhibitionist' to do it."
Sheila didn't care for the dig.
"If you got it, flaunt it." Sheila said. "What good is it if you don't use it? I still want to know if looks can kill."
The Metal girls all settled in on the lounge chairs as they sunned themselves. They were really on display and advertising. They hoped at least a few females would show up. It was still early for most of the passengers to be up and start any nude sunbathing.
Two additional older men looked in on them.
Sheila gave them something to see. It was actually quite a lot. They both made a hasty retreat.
Ally was aware of what Sheila hoped for.
"I guess looks don't kill." Ally said.
Sheila was a little disappointed. None of them grasped their chest.
"I tried." Sheila said.
Ally wasn't sure what it would take.
"Maybe they need to be older." Ally said.
Sheila thought Ally could always offer to do more and help her out.
"Maybe you need to make them think they're going to 'get lucky'." Sheila said.
Ally frowned. She didn't want any old men near her.
"I'm out." Ally said.
Hanna didn't like the idea either. She would prefer if the area was divided into one for females and another for males only. It seemed like it would present less liability to the cruise company, if anyone got a little too 'hands on' with another passenger.
Cameron checked in with Jim and was aware all the Metal girls were in the nude sunbathing enclosure. There was no one else present.
"I have good news." Cameron said.
John waited for something more from Cameron. He needed to prompt her when she didn't elaborate.
"What's the 'good news'?" John asked.
Cameron smiled at John and the girls.
"We can visit the nude sunbathing area." Cameron said.
Allison looked at Vanna and winked.
"I didn't bring anything to wear." Allison joked.
John was about to say something when he caught the joke.
They'd passed a couple of Hot shapely young ladies in skimpy outfits. The young ladies stopped and started to follow them. They hung back a little and looked around a lot.
Cameron glanced back.
"We've been acquired." Cameron said.
Everyone tensed up a little. They were on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. How could they be targeted?
Jim quickly sent Cameron a message when he noticed what happened. He informed Cameron those were two of the girls Sheila and Ally interacted with previously. Both of them received piercings from Sheila. They were known as Mary and Laura.
John, Vanna and Allison all wondered what Cameron was talking about as to who acquired them.
"Who is after us?" John asked.
Cameron wanted to clear things up. She gave them a brief explanation of who they were and what Sheila did for them.
Vanna was a little confused. It was something she would have liked to have witnessed.
"Do you mean Sheila pierced them here on the ship?" Vanna asked. "She did the top and the bottom?"
Cameron reviewed the file.
"Yes." Cameron said. "It's the report I received."
Vanna and Allison were both interested. They would like to see Sheila's handiwork.
Mary and Laura closed in on Cameron's group. A third female came from the side and started to rapidly converse with Mary and Laura. It was Leticia. It slowed and then stopped them.
Cameron took a turn and headed for a gate. She took out her card key and opened the unmarked gate. The four of them entered the first section of the nude sunbathing area.
Mary and Laura lost track of them when Cameron took the turn. Leticia was worried about some new problem with her roommate.
John looked back. He really liked the look of the third girl who'd intercepted the other girls.
"I think we lost them." John said.
Cameron could see John was interested in seeing more from them.
"I have their cabin number." Cameron said.
Vanna and Allison wanted to see a little more too.
"What is it?" Vanna asked as a joke.
Cameron told them the deck and the cabin number.
Vanna, Allison and John all made a mental note of the information.
They moved past a second gate and a sign that stated the area was for adults only. It said no photography or video was allowed. She was aware all of the Metal girls would be able to do both without any problem. They didn't need any outside devices to be able to do so.
They spotted the Metal girls waiting for them. Sheila gave them the same greeting she did the older men who peeked in.
John was impressed at how far Sheila could stretch things. He didn't go to such an extreme when Cameron was in control of Sheila's chassis. He would do it the 'next time' though. He just wanted to see how far things could actually go.
Ally wanted them to strip.
"Lose the threads." Ally said.
Vanna looked back at the gate. She didn't want any men to show up.
Gail-Cam could see her apprehension. She was aware there was a solution.
"Jim can lock the two gates." Gail-Cam said.
Vanna went over to Gail-Cam. Allison went over to Holly. Everyone watched as they kissed.
Cameron moved close to John.
"This is a fine spread of females." Cameron whispered in his ear. "Just think, you've made love to me in all of their chassis."
The reminder excited Cameron as she looked at all of them nude.
John was well aware of it. He was also very aware of what was currently happening in his pants as he saw the six Metal girls all naked at the same time.
"It was beautiful, Cameron." John said. "Thank you for sharing everything with me."
Cameron smiled and kissed John. She wanted to see how far he was willing to go. She was pretty sure it wouldn't be too far with an audience.
"Jim has informed me the gates are locked." Cameron said. "You can have your 'one time' with any of them you want right now or all of them. They're all ready."
The thought thrilled John. He wasn't sure who he would choose first. He knew all the other Metal girls would be upset if they weren't picked first. Maybe the best way to do it would be to draw straws.
Wait.
John wanted to verify exactly what Cameron meant.
"Do you mean it has to be here and right now?" John asked.
Cameron smiled at him and waved her hand towards the Metal girls.
John looked around. It would need to be on a lounge chair or on a towel on the deck.
Cameron wanted to make sure John understood the details.
"They've all received the file of you making love to me in their chassis. We're all friends and family here." Cameron said. "Go have some fun. It will be like a repeat experience for you. For them, it will all be their 'first time'."
John was nervous. He was sure Cameron was messing with him.
"Everyone will see me and watch me." John said.
Cameron knew with the file transfer, there was nothing they hadn't seen.
"They already have." Cameron said.
John felt embarrassed to think of an audience. They would all watch him perform, even if they all had the file of Cameron and him.
"I don't think I can do it this way." John said. "I don't want to do it this way. I would like privacy. I'm sure they would like to have some privacy too, especially since it would be their first time."
Cameron smiled.
"Don't ever say I didn't honor my end of the bargain." Cameron said. "You had your chance to pick any of them, or all of them."
John pointed out there were two new contenders. They didn't have any files of him using anyone's chassis.
"Vanna and Allison are here too." John said.
Cameron smiled as she broke the news to John.
"This was their idea." Cameron said. "They're both available too."
John showed new interest.
"They are?" John asked.
Cameron smiled broadly.
"They are." Cameron said.
John looked at Vanna and Allison. He looked back at Cameron.
"OK." John said. "I'm in."
Cameron waited for him to fold.
"Remember, everyone will be watching." Cameron said.
John wondered how far Cameron would go.
"Even you?" John asked.
Cameron would really like to observe how John performed with a human female.
"Even me, it may give me some insight." Cameron said.
John looked at the six naked Metal girls and at Vanna and Allison. He buckled in his determination. He didn't want an audience. He realized each time Cameron 'borrowed' one of the Metal girl's chassis, he had an audience.
"Let's go." John said. "I can't do it this way."
Vanna and Allison made a point of giving each of the Metal girls a kiss and a squeeze or two so John could see them do it.
They rejoined Cameron and John.
"Opportunity like this doesn't knock often." Allison said.
John headed for the gate. He paused and looked back once.
"We'll see." John said.
John led the group out of the nude sunbathing area. He liked what he saw, but he was glad to get away. He didn't want to share with anyone with an audience present. If it was one on one, he was willing to 'do' as many of them as he could. He knew he wouldn't be able to be with all six of them in one setting and give each of them a meaningful experience. He believed a meaningful experience was more important than quantity. Quality always mattered over quantity.
Earlier:
Mary and Laura spotted 'Peggy' and her twin sister. They were with a Hot redhead and a handsome young man. They wanted to follow them and see where they went.
It was Cameron, Allison and Vanna. John was there with them as well. Leticia interrupted them and they lost them.
They'd finished up with Leticia and she left. There wasn't much they could do about her problems on the ship. It seemed Leticia created a few problems on her own. It wasn't just with her roommate either. There is also another individual involved at one point. It sounded very complicated.
They looked around for Cameron's group but didn't see them.
Laura looked around in a full circle.
"I don't see them anywhere." Laura said.
Mary really wanted to know where they went. She knew where she would like to find them.
"Maybe they went to the nude sunbathing area." Mary said.
Laura hoped so. She wanted to check them out. She wanted a good look at those two twins. She hadn't seen much of the one twin when she was with her Asian friend. She'd only see the other one in passing.
They came around the corner only to see John lead the group away.
Laura looked at the group as they departed from the entrance to the nude sunbathing area.
"Well, do we follow them or see what's available?" Laura asked. "We might be able to catch some fresh slash if we go in."
Laura figured their new jewelry would be a conversation starter.
Mary watched the quartet disappear around another corner. She wanted to see what was inside waiting for them.
"Let's see what the gods have provided us with." Mary said. "We're total 'chick magnets' now."
Laura smiled. She was more than willing to see what was available
"It's what we hoped for." Laura said.
Mary touched one of her nipple rings.
"I think we are a magnet to men or women." Mary said. "We need to be careful."
Neither one of the girls wanted any men to leer at them. My most likely would be older men. They were a total turnoff to both of them. If it was the younger guy they saw earlier with Peggy and her friends, they might give it a whirl.
They entered the nude sunbathing area and passed the sign and the second gate. They figured once they stripped, they would be the Hottest number there.
They were stunned at what they saw. They looked at each other.
They spotted Ally, Cam-Gail and Hanna. They were sure they just watched them walk away from there with the cute guy.
Mary wanted to keep things straight in her head. She wanted to verify what she'd just seen only a minute ago.
"There couldn't be four of them could there?" Mary whispered.
Laura wasn't sure what she'd seen at this point.
"I don't think so." Laura whispered. "It seems impossible."
Mary looked at the six Metal girls.
"These women are all super Hot." Mary whispered. "We can't compete with any of them, jewelry or not."
Laura could see they might come up short.
"Maybe we should go." Laura whispered. "We can come back later."
Sheila and Ally got up. They didn't want the girls to leave. They'd heard everything they said. They wanted to make sure Cameron and her entourage was able to move further away from the nude sunbathing area before Mary and Laura left.
"Hello, love." Sheila said. "Would you care to join us?"
Mary didn't want to be rude. She still felt outclassed. She really liked what stood before her.
"It's Peggy and Sue." Mary said.
Laura looked at Ally, Cam-Gail and Hanna. She had a few questions.
"Did you just get here?" Laura asked.
Ally already knew what to expect. Jim filled her in.
"We did just a minute ago." Ally said. "Why do you ask?"
Mary was sure they just saw them leave.
"I could have sworn I saw someone who looked just like three of you leave." Mary said.
The Metal girls all had an answer to her question.
"We have a common face." Ally said. "We get it a lot. People tell me all the time I look like a number of different actresses. Personally, I don't see it."
Sheila wanted to show off her handiwork to the other Metal girls.
"These are my two Hot friends, Mary and Laura." Sheila said. "I just told my friends how I helped make you two even Hotter."
The Metal girls were all up now. They ended up lining up in breast size order.
Laura looked at the breasts on Holly and then on Gail-Cam.
"Wow!" Mary said. "Are those things real?"
Gail-Cam smiled.
"They're natural for me." Gail-Cam said.
Holly wanted them to know it was the same for her.
"I've always been this way too." Holly said. "Neither one of us have implants."
Laura looked back and forth between Holly and Gail-Cam.
"It's very impressive." Laura said.
Sheila wanted to show off her handiwork and have the girls strip.
"Will you join us?" Sheila asked.
Sheila made a point of adjusting her nipple rings.
Mary and Laura looked at the row of Metal girls. They saw everyone one of them was perfect. Their skin was perfect and there wasn't a mark, scar or blemish on any of them. They also noticed the only hair on any of them was on their head. They both felt inadequate in the presence of the Metal girls. What made the feeling worse was, normally they were 'knockouts' any other place themselves, but not there.
"Maybe we will come back later." Mary said. "We just wanted to see if the nude sunbathing area was for real."
Laura thought maybe another time would be better as well to return there. They wanted to be the stars, not second best or a 'runner up'.
"We were on our way to somewhere else." Laura said.
Mary looked at all six of the Metal girls. There was a radiance and sexuality to their beauty.
"Are you the showgirl performers?" Mary asked. "You're all incredibly beautiful."
Sheila assured her they weren't. She wanted them to strip off their tops or at least flash the other Metal girls.
They both reluctantly agreed to take their tops off.
Sheila examined the piercings. Everything was as it should be.
"Everything looks beautiful." Sheila said. "You two are very beautiful."
The other Metal girls all complemented them too.
Mary and Laura put their tops back on and left.
Ally figured Jim monitored everything. She wanted to make sure. She used her com and told him to warn Cameron's group if Mary or Laura neared where they were. They'd already experienced one potential conflict. They certainly didn't need another one.
Cameron was already at the miniature golf area when she received the notice from Jim about the warning from Ally. She didn't trouble the others with it. They were very isolated where they were currently at.
It was time to play the game.
Allison watched Cameron play miniature golf before. She was aware she couldn't compete with her or any of the Metal girls.
"We all know Cameron is going to win, so there's no need to keep score." Allison said. "We'll simply crown her champion before we start."
Vanna liked the idea.
"If we take the competition out of it, we can have some fun." Vanna said.
Cameron didn't like being chastised for her 'natural ability'.
"I can only play with the skills I was built with." Cameron said.
John didn't want Cameron to get upset.
"You're the greatest, Cameron." John said.
Cameron smiled at John.
Vanna wanted to make it more of a learning experience than a competition.
"You play first, Cameron." Vanna said. "You can give us tips on where to hit. You can be our coach."
Cameron played the holes first and then helped each of them make the shots. None of them needed more than three swings to sink the ball. A few of the holes were made in two tries. They each ended up with a single hole in one. They all had a good time and it was fun.
She really would like to be their coach for something else. She actually believed they could be her coach. She wanted to observe how the human girls performed in bed with John. She wanted to know what else she was supposed to do and how she was supposed to do it. She wanted to please John. Most of all, she wanted him protected. The anti-Metal faction was out there.
They decided would play there for an hour and then head down for the galley tour.
Anna worried about the sunscreen wearing off on Young Allison and Savannah.
"You'll need to reapply the sunscreen soon." Anna said. "It is only good for so long especially if you stay in the water."
Savannah took the warning seriously, even if Young Allison didn't. She didn't want to stay out too long. There were a few others at the beach now and she didn't like them looking at Young Allison or her.
"I think we can wrap it up soon anyway." Savannah said.
Young Allison looked disappointed.
Cammy wanted to keep things under control as well.
"You don't want to get sun damage to your skin." Cammy said. "If you want to look like me one day, you need to protect yourself too."
Young Allison knew the drill.
"When Skynet blows up the world, anyone not wearing 'two million sun block' is going to have a real bad day." Young Allison said. "I get it."
Anna didn't think Young Allison should joke about it. Several billion people would die. It was a lot of human lives which would be terminated.
"We're working to prevent it." Anna said. "All of us are trying to do it."
Savannah wanted to stick up for Young Allison.
"Allison knows the score." Savannah said. "She was just trying to be funny."
Cammy was serious. She wanted to make it clear to everyone.
"Billions of people will die when it happens." Cammy said. "Billions of them died before."
Young Allison didn't want to cause a problem.
"Everyone relax. I was just fooling about." Young Allison said. "We can clean up and go back."
They'd all had a good time so far.
They cleaned up and everyone changed back into their street clothes.
CamNet took care of the parking fee for them and all the guests for the rest of the day. It was complements of the Syndicate.
Young Allison wasn't so sure why everyone was so touchy. She hoped Savannah would let her drive still. She didn't want to ask.
Savannah didn't think what Young Allison said was a big deal. She wanted to show Young Allison she supported her. She handed her the keys to the SUV.
"I want you to drive safely, like you did on the way here." Savannah said.
Young Allison smiled and took the keys. She would let Savannah set the parameters.
"Thank you." Young Allison said. "Which way do you want me to go back?"
Savannah was pleased Young Allison asked. She decided she would leave it up to Young Allison.
"I'll let you pick." Savannah said. "I need to let John Henry and CamNet know. They can make sure all law enforcement is out of the area."
Young Allison would like to drive along the shore for a while.
"Can I drive to Point Mugu and then cut inland?" Young Allison asked. "I can take Los Posas Road back to Lewis Road to the 118."
Savannah flew the same route in the B-25 before.
"I see someone has looked at a map." Savannah said.
Young Allison had done just the very thing. She wanted the best drive for everyone on the way back. The route she chose was more scenic and there were no canyon roads to contend with.
"I may have checked my phone while we used the rest room for a minute." Young Allison said. "I want everyone to have a good time."
Savannah thought it was a nice day for a drive along the coast. Most of Pacific Coast Highway was along the coast too if they went north.
"We can take PCH north. Let me check with John Henry first." Savannah said. "I don't want any surprises."
Savannah checked. She didn't see any operations pending or developing for the next few hours. She looked at Cammy and Anna.
"Are we good?" Savannah asked.
"Yes." Cammy and Anna both said.
Savannah looked at Young Allison
"Surf's up…." Savannah said. "PCH it is."
A giant smile blossomed on Young Allison's face.
"Oh, boy…." Young Allison said. "Thanks."
Young Allison headed out of the parking lot and up the narrow winding road to PCH. She waited at the light and then made a left onto PCH. She'd studied up on music groups from when she would go back in time. Maybe she could find a few oldies on the radio. She figured it would help set the mood.
Derek and Kyle still wanted to get out on an operation.
Riley arrived at the Command Center with Precious in the stroller.
"What's everyone scheming?" Riley asked.
Derek quickly looked at Kyle and John Henry.
"Nothing…." Derek said.
Riley thought they'd been gone a long time.
"You've been here for a few hours." Riley said.
They saw Samantha look in. She'd been waiting out in the hall.
"Come in." John Henry said. "There's room for everybody.
"Thank you." Samantha said.
Derek didn't think he was going anywhere at this point. Not when the 'boss' was around.
Jesse and Claire already finished two fancy dishes for lunch.
Sarah was there now. She'd just checked on Jan and Summer.
Jesse and Claire greeted her.
"What are you two up to?" Sarah asked.
Jesse noticed Claire and Sarah shared some long looks. She would mention it later, but not now. She wanted to see more.
Claire explained what they made and what they were working on currently.
"Wow." Sarah said. "That's amazing. I need to work with you some more too, Claire."
Jesse wanted Sarah to stay. She wanted to see where things would go. She was aware if Claire could 'break the ice' with Sarah, it would make Sarah more available to all of them.
"You can stay and help us finish up." Jesse said. "There's always room for one more."
Sarah and Claire picked up on the double meaning by Jesse.
Claire decided to move on. She started right in on the next dish they were going to make. She was going to allow Jesse and Sarah to do it on their own as she only verbally instructed them.
She couldn't help herself as she pictured Jesse and Sarah together as she watched them pleasure each other. She took it a little further. She also pictured what it would be like for both of them to pleasure her as well. She really hoped she didn't make a miscalculation on any of the ingredients. She was highly distracted right now.
The female Fanatic neared the shopping center. She didn't see anyone behind her for any length of time. She decided to make a series of right hand turns before she reached her destination. No one followed her.
There was a fast food restaurant in the corner of the lot. The supermarket was in the back. There were several small department stores next to it. They didn't appear to be open. Only the fast food restaurant and the supermarket did. She decided to drive around the back to make sure there'd be no surprises later on. She'd experienced far too many of them recently.
There was a bread truck backed up to the dock as she drove around the back side. She didn't see any homeless living around the area. They would probably come by later on to look through the dumpster as the store discarded out of date items. She often wondered why more of them weren't donated, rather than just thrown away. She figured no one really cared. No one understood the scarcity of food in the future. Not even the homeless people understood what it was going to be like. She knew most of them didn't think they had much now. After Judgment Day, they were going to have a lot less of everything.
She came around the far side of the supermarket. She was pleased to see there was a clothes donation bin located there. She looked down at her dirty clothes. She remembered the way the gas station attendant looked at her through the little window earlier. She decided to make it her first stop.
She pulled up next to the donation bin. She used her car to block one side of it. It only left the side open towards the rear of the store. Her car blocked it from the street. She made sure she had her knife and pistol with her. She wasn't taking any more chances. Her pockets were stuffed with wads of cash.
There was some camouflage clothing in one of the boxes in front of the bin. She quickly looked through the box. She found a pair of olive drab cargo pants. She decided to take those. The did have a lot of pockets on them. It seemed she needed a lot of stuff to carry around with her. The cargo pockets would come in handy.
She looked around to see if there was a matching shirt. There wasn't. She figured whoever owned them probably wore the shirts more often than the pants. They were probably in too poor of condition to be donated. Since nothing was dumped out of the boxes, she didn't think anyone else had been through them yet. She found a belt to securely cinch them up with. She was pleased with her new acquisitions. She picked out a couple of shirts, one of them was a black sweatshirt.
The thought crossed her mind to change her clothes there. After the last experience, she decided not to. She was only glad the men she'd needed to kill turned out to the Grays. They got what they deserved, in more ways than one.
She took her newly acquired apparel and entered the car with it. She stuffed the cash from her current pants into some of the pockets on the new pants. She made sure all of the phones she'd collected were stashed as well. She drove around to the back side of the supermarket. She noticed the bread truck was gone.
It looked like the best place to park was right at the corner. She could keep a watch down one side of the supermarket and along the back as well as she changed her clothes. It didn't take her long. She looked at the pants and shirt she'd previously worn. They were trashed.
She quickly brushed off the seat with her dirty clothes after she'd turned them inside out. She walked away from her car and up to the dumpster to throw them away. She thought she saw someone move away from the dumpster as she approached.
'What the hell?' The female Fanatic thought.
It must have been one of the store employees. She hoped they got a cheap thrill. She quickly moved around the dumpster and looked at the dock. She saw the door close. She didn't see who closed it. She could hear it lock. Evidently they thought she was going to follow them. Maybe it was just store policy. There were a lot of nut jobs out there anymore.
She got back in the car and drove it around to the front. There were only four cars in the parking lot. She looked over towards the fast food restaurant and thought about going there to get something to eat. Maybe she would buy a few items in the store first. She wanted to get it out of the way. The later it got, more people would arrive at the store. She parked in front of the store and went inside.
It seemed like a good idea to get a few more energy drinks and protein drinks. She tried to select ones which would provide both. She passed by the medical section and picked up another packet of anti drowsy tablets. She started to walk away. She went back and picked up a second pack.
She also decided to pick up a few energy and protein bars as well. She wasn't going to get too many of any of them. She didn't seem to be able to hang on to things for very long. She also picked up two bottles of water.
She thought about using the restroom there to clean up a little bit. She really didn't want to. It was always in the back area. She was a little worried about whoever spied on her. They might see her enter the bathroom. She didn't think they would endanger their job and try to take a little more than they should. Times were pretty strange. Who knew what could happen?
The clerk asked her if she wanted to purchase a bag for ten cents when she paid for her items. It seems like a good idea. The clerk put everything in the bag for her and handed it to her. He was going to give her back the change from the money she gave him. She told him to put it in the donation bin on the counter. There was a little container for children with disabilities.
She couldn't help but think there weren't too many people with disabilities in the future. They didn't survive. The only people who were disabled, were the ones injured in combat. They usually didn't last too long anyway.
She took a glance back as she got into her car. Instead of driving directly to the fast food restaurant, she decided to drive around the block once. She wanted to make sure she didn't have a tail. She completed the circuit around the block and entered the parking lot of the fast food restaurant from the street on the far side of the store. No one from the store could see her.
She entered the fast food restaurant and headed straight for the bathroom. There were two things she was glad to find inside. One was a flush toilet. The other one was hot running water. She made use of both of them. Once she'd taken care of all of her business, she headed into the main part of the fast food restaurant and looked at the menu. She went ahead and ordered several items. She also ordered an orange juice and a large hot coffee. She thought it would go nice with her breakfast burrito and several mini cinnamon rolls.
The female Fanatic decided to eat her food inside of the restaurant. It would give her an opportunity to watch the vehicle as well as the store in the distance. She wanted to make sure no one had followed her. She'd also be able to get a refill on her hot coffee before she left.
CamNet's Terminators decided to make their move now. As soon as they heard the squeal of the metal door opening, they were on the move. They would try to take anyone they could 'Terminator style' first. If not, their silenced M9 pistols would deal with the problem.
They ducked down below the level of the window which could see out to the van. They moved directly towards the metal door. They could hear two voices inside.
"What are they waiting for?" The first man asked.
"I don't know." The second man said. "They're supposed to approach the door."
"They probably picked up some skank along the way." The first man said.
"Yeah, they've done that before." The second man said. "They like to knock one more off each before they bring her inside."
"The only good thing is, we'll each get to have a turn before they put her to 'work'." The first man said.
"I'm ready to take my turn right now." The second man said. "Those trashy sluts in there right now are pretty well used up after a night's work."
"Tell me about it." The first man said. "We should be able to provide them with what they want from the latest shipment inside the van. Cut back a little on what they're addicted to, they become real cooperative about what they'll do, and how well they'll do it, so they get their fix. What a bunch of whores."
"Well, it is their new 'job'." The second man said.
Both of the men laughed.
"Go on out there and find out what the holdup is." The first man said.
"Why do I have to go out?" The second man asked.
"Because you want to go next after me, instead of after me and the other three guys inside." The first man said.
Lena and Tina understood it to mean there were five men at the current location. It also sounded like there were some female detainees. Sometimes they also had a female handler who was part of the organization. She was often used in recruiting new inductees, as well as threatening their family members if the girls became uncooperative. They were often told if they didn't do their 'new jobs' well, their father and brothers would be killed and their mother and sisters would be brought in to work in their place. Once they'd obtained the other family members, they would be killed in front of them to make them compliant as well.
It was often baseless threats. Not all of them were baseless though. Depending upon the organization running the drugs and the girls, things could get pretty violent and brutal. The other girls on the line were often forced to look at the dead body of one of the girls who caused the trouble or didn't do a good job. It left no doubt in their mind what would happen to them if they didn't perform adequately.
Lena and Tina could hear the metal door open. They already knew what both men sounded like. They knew the second man would be the one who came out first. As soon as he came around the corner Lena grabbed him and snapped his neck. She took the time to crushes throat first before she did. She didn't like the way he talked about female captives.
Tina quickly spoke in his voice.
"You better come quick." Tina said. "The front of the van is smoking. We need to get the money and drugs out of it right away. They're trying to see what's wrong with it right now. Great, now it's on fire. Hurry up."
They heard the door squeal again.
"Nice, what have the morons done now?" The first man asked. "We'd better not lose anything."
The first man hurried around the corner. Tina grabbed him by the neck and held him up against the wall
"Neat trick…." Tina said in the first man's voice.
Tina snapped his neck.
Lena and Tina each took the man they'd terminated back inside of the building. They closed the door and threw the bolts. They tossed the terminated men in a corner behind a desk.
They each had their silence M9 out.
"What's going on out there?" The third man asked.
There was another metal door with a slotted window in it. They were up against the wall near the desk. The person behind the door couldn't see where they were.
"We've got a problem with the new shipment." Lena said in the first terminated man's voice.
Tina moved up to the door. As soon as the man unlatched it, she would pull it all the way open.
"You better get out here and take a look at this." Tina said in the second terminated man's voice. "We don't want to get blamed for this one."
CamNet's Terminators waited as they heard the second metal door unlatched. They were ready to make their move. They knew there would be at least one man behind it. They knew there were at least two others besides him inside somewhere.
This Was Their Idea
When two are together
It's more than a notion
When everything is good
It's like a magic potion
For things to work out
It takes more than a theory
They can grow tired and weary
It can leave them teary
Things must be real
It can be an illusion
To see what's not there
Is just a delusion
There are many ways
To make a positive impression
To move things forward
Should be a steady progression
If two can be together
There's no a panacea
When it all falls apart
This was their idea
Nobody
