Chapter 1385
Bad Girl
Cammy and Savannah were vectored in on an intercept course towards the two cars of Grays. They were most likely headed to attack the anti-Metal faction. They didn't know for sure. It was what John Henry updated them on. They were headed outside the city at this point.
Savannah wanted to try and make contact with the anti-Metal faction and see if they could come to some type of an agreement.
Cammy didn't like the idea and felt it endangered both of them. Savannah would be looked at with the same hate she was viewed with. She attempted to express her disapproval to Savannah again.
"I have to advise you against it." Cammy said. "The anti-Metal faction won't listen to reason."
Savannah understood Cammy's apprehension. She believed it was still something she should attempt. A common enemy should at least produce some type of truce. They were all in the fight together against Skynet in any of its illegitimate offshoots.
"I know it's a risk." Savannah said. "They're Resistance fighters. Their fight should be against Skynet. They shouldn't focus on the Resistance leadership."
Savannah knew 'in some future', the Duplicate girls were able to come to an accord with the anti-Metal faction there. They were able to win most of the group over. It was the result of the efforts of Duplicate Cameron and her clones. They proved to the anti-Metal faction on the battlefield that Terminators and humans could work together. There were still a few holdouts who tried to kill them. Mrs. Weaver dealt with any new threats which arose 'in some future'. The threats always disappeared without a trace.
She'd been 'in some future' for awhile. Her daughter Hope was there with Duplicate Vanna and Mrs. Weaver. She hated to give up her baby. She wanted to have it for Cameron but they ended up stuck there 'in some future' for too long. Duplicate Vanna was sterile so she gave 'herself' something she could never have. She gave her Hope. Duplicate Vanna was 'Savannah Weaver'. She helped herself in reality. It was the only thing that made it palatable. It still saddened her to think about it.
She knew Mrs. Weaver either wanted to 'keep' her, return to the present, or her future. Since it was deemed unsafe for the infant to make the time transfer, Cameron brokered a deal to 'give' Mrs. Weaver a granddaughter if she stayed where she was with the Duplicate girls and Savannah's baby, Hope.
Cameron also allowed Mrs. Weaver to 'run' the future timeline she was in. She was left in charge of 'some future" and some 'world'. Mrs. Weaver was like a god 'in some future'. She was the most powerful creature there with an army of cyborgs. The majority of them were Restorators along with many reprogrammed Terminators.
Cammy spotted a tear run from Savannah's eye as she drove.
"What's wrong?" Cammy asked.
Savannah quickly wiped a tear from her cheek. She reminded herself life moved forward, not backwards.
"Nothing's wrong." Savannah said.
Savannah needed to focus on the upcoming battle.
Cammy planned to take the battle to the enemy. She wanted to let them do some of the work for her.
"I think we should let the Grays and the anti-Metal faction battle each other and fight it out first." Cammy said. "I'll have less of either group to kill at that point."
Savannah could tell Cammy didn't listen to her. She didn't see things the same way as did the others with the anti-Metal faction. She still felt there should be some type of peace overture. She wanted them to at least be an influencing factor in any battle which occurred.
"It may come to it." Savannah said. "I want to try and protect the anti-Metal faction first if we can."
Cammy still thought it was a bad idea no matter what she heard. She sent out a warning to CamNet about Savannah's plans. There was little else she could do. It was out of her hands at this point. She needed 'outside help' if Savannah's idea was going to be squelched. She didn't want to end up as a reprogrammed 'Metal Whore' for the pleasure and amusement of the anti-Metal faction.
Savannah and Cammy armored up as they drove. Savannah checked her weapons. She didn't look forward to going into battle, but she was ready.
Cammy received a welcome update from CamNet.
"There's a drone covering each of the Gray's vehicles." Cammy said. "They can be taken out at any time."
Savannah was aware of it. There was only one problem. They didn't know where the anti-Metal faction was at. It appeared the Gray's tortured it out of a man. She didn't want anyone to act too soon. She thought it was important they find out where the anti-Metal faction was located.
"We need them to lead us to the anti-Metal faction. They've been very elusive to locate." Savannah said. "If we take them out too early, we won't know where they were headed specifically."
Cammy couldn't argue with her point. They didn't know where the second target was at. She drove in silence. She still thought it was a bad idea to try to make contact with the anti-Metal faction.
She pictured herself on a 'comfort bunk'. They could disable her ability to move, but not her ability to feel and know what was happening. She pictured the anti-Metal faction repeatedly making trips to use her chassis. It would be a form of torture for her. When they got tired of torturing her in such a manner, they could simply reprogram her to be a 'Metal Whore'. The only good thing was, they would probably scrub her chip and eradicate her existence. The new program would then do everything they wanted or desired, and would be available twenty four hours a day.
She looked over at Savannah and frowned. She could only imagine what they would do to Savannah as her punishment for being a 'Metal Lover'.
Young Allison and Anna received a priority alert from CamNet. It was based on Cammy's concern.
"Savannah is going to try and make contact with the anti-Metal faction." Anna said.
Young Allison was upset with the news. It seemed like a bad idea. It was an unnecessary risk at this time. She decided to take pre-emptive action as soon as she could. She planned to circumvent Savannah.
"I want more drones." Young Allison said. "I want to launch a 'maximum effort' strike against the anti-Metal target when it's identified. We'll attack them and the Skynet forces at the same time."
Anna thought it was overreacting at this point. She wanted Young Allison to think it through.
"You need to discuss this with Savannah first." Anna said. "She feels otherwise. She's the one on the ground."
Young Allison frowned. Maybe she was getting ahead of herself. She reacted more the way Cameron would. It was her instinct as to how best to deal with the targets. She wanted to give Savannah a chance to look into what she felt was necessary. She should have been a little more considerate and willing to communicate first.
"Belay my last order." Young Allison said.
Young Allison was aware of how Cameron felt about the anti-Metal faction and the threat they posed to John and Cameron. It was one of the reasons Cameron was 'banished' into the past. It was to protect her from termination, and protect Future John from assassination. Those seemed like pretty high stakes to her.
Anna agreed with Young Allison's initial instinct to hit first and hit hard. She also knew from the 'Savannah' in her, from the 'Neural Interface', that Savannah wanted there to be some peaceful accord if possible. They both shared a group of common enemies. They were Skynet, Grays, the Fanatics and their 'god', SkyMaster.
"Savannah wants to stop the unnecessary killing of Resistance fighters." Anna said.
Young Allison reviewed their past interaction with the anti-Metal faction. Every encounter was violent and all of the anti-Metal faction needed to be terminated. They didn't appreciate their help and hated the Terminators who were with them.
"I don't want to negatively influence Savannah on this." Young Allison said. "I personally think it is a mistake and a risk. I know it is her instinct to reach out and want to help."
Anna wondered what Young Allison's instinct was.
"Your instincts are different." Anna said.
Young Allison couldn't really say. She was sure her normal instincts were suppressed and pushed into the back of her mind over the years. She thought about how she'd reacted in all of her Resistance matters. Whenever she was directly involved, she did one thing. She killed.
"Are they?" Young Allison asked. "I don't know what my instincts really are. I've been trained and conditioned my entire known life to be molded in Cameron's image and emulate her actions. I don't know what my instincts are. Everything in my life has been altered by Terminators. Besides my family, only Savannah has shown me humanity. My instinct is to kill. Isn't it what I've done in every instance? Isn't it what a Terminator does?"
Anna didn't see it as killing. It wasn't like it was murder, it was combat.
"You've acted to protect the Resistance." Anna said. "You're protecting the future. Any of the individuals who have been terminated chose to join and serve the enemy. It doesn't matter if it was Skynet, SkyMaster, bikers, gangs, the Syndicate or the Cartel. All of those individuals were enemy combatants. They were out to harm or destroy normal lives. They're all a threat to the future. You've helped protect John Connor."
Young Allison gave a faint smile. Her duty was drilled into her head. She'd known what would be 'required' of her, even before she knew why or exactly how the event was achieved. There were several ways to accomplish the task.
"One day it will be my function to warm his bed and provide him with children." Young Allison said.
Anna was pleased Young Allison understood her function. It was all about protecting the future.
"Everyone sacrifices for John Connor." Anna said.
Young Allison just shook her head.
Frank drove the van on a city tour.
Vanna and Allison whispered their desires to John.
Cameron, Holly, Gail-Cam and Sheila all looked back at them and smiled. Cameron winked at them.
It was evident they'd all heard what Vanna and Allison said.
John focused his attention on Cameron. He wanted to make sure he didn't overstep.
Cameron nodded her head up and down. It was the 'approval' for John to proceed.
Holly and Gail-Cam did the same thing and gave their 'approval' to Allison and Vanna.
It seemed the Terminators were all in on it together or something. Then again, they always were. Maybe the main function of their Metal lovers, besides protecting them, was to prevent them from ever acquiring any male suitors. It was doubtful they ever would, but the Metal girls assured they never would. They provided all the sexual comfort any of the females could ever want.
Vanna and Allison were determined to 'make it happen' after they got back on the ship. It was what they'd all wanted for years. What were they all waiting for? It was quite clear Leticia would do it if they didn't. Mary and Laura would too. Holly and Gail-Cam 'worked' on them.
John really didn't know what to think. Would Cameron allow this now on her honeymoon? It seemed like it. Nothing happened with Claire and Jesse. He figured if it was really going to happen, it would have happened with them.
He looked at Allison and Vanna as they rode along. He knew what both of them looked like naked down to the last detail, especially Allison. It was Cameron's doing by being in the cyborg chassis of each of the girls, including her own. He knew what to expect as far as touch and feel. It was almost like he was with them already. What was missing was the individual response. It was the human touch. It was the human emotion which could be returned. It would be more than just about the sex. It would be about love.
John knew it was the response and the level of sharing which made the encounter what it was. If someone just laid there, it was really almost a form of masturbation at that point, without the mess to deal with. It became someone else's problem. Even to just kiss someone and have them kiss you back because they wanted to, was more rewarding than 'dead sex'. If there was no sharing, there was nothing. Cameron did exhibit emotions and feelings. They were nowhere near what a human female could offer.
He looked out the window and saw they were at the Dragon's Gate in Chinatown. He'd 'missed' most of the ride there. It was actually very close from where the cable car ride ended. He'd been lost in thought about what 'could be' and seemed like it would be. It was time.
Frank gave a running narrative of the sites near them as they drove around the city. A look in the rear view mirror showed there was a lot of kissing and touching going on in the back of the van. In fact the only two not touching and kissing were Cameron and John. Cameron was next to him and John was in the back row seat. He didn't watch what all the other females were doing. If Cameron wasn't sitting right next to him, he would have.
CamNet updated Cameron with bad news. It appeared Savannah was going to try and make contact with the anti-Metal faction. She was aware Cammy advised her against it but she wanted to try anyway. Savannah didn't want to kill more Resistance fighters just because they didn't understand helpful Terminators.
Cameron didn't think it was what Savannah should try and do. She felt Savannah didn't fully understand the hatred the anti-Metal group exhibited for her and all Terminators, friendly or not. If she were there instead of on the ship, she wouldn't allow any such folly.
She thought about letting the others off at the ship and taking a jet back to Van Nuys. It was only a fifty minute flight from start to finish. She could get there in a third of the time it would take the Blackhawk to fly back.
Cameron believed Savannah would be in real danger if she tried to negotiate with the anti-Metal group. If she didn't stop Savannah herself, someone else was going to have to do it. The only person Savannah couldn't 'order' was Young Allison. It looked very complicated right now. She didn't want to put Savannah and Young Allison at odds with each other on her behalf.
She was a little irritated John didn't listen to her. Once he was pegged as a 'Metal Lover', he would be targeted for assassination. Vanna and Allison were the ones kissing now instead of John kissing both of them.
The last row seat where John, Vanna and Allison were at could seat four across. Cameron was going to have Sheila move Leticia next to John to get things started. Sheila had Leticia eating out of the palm of her hand right now.
Cameron was aware Sheila already was able to get Leticia to 'finish' at least three times as they did the tour. Leticia was wound up and ready for more. She contacted Sheila through her com with new instructions. She was informed she could do whatever she wanted with Leticia afterwards. She was aware it was all the motivation Sheila would need to push her agenda.
She was the head Terminator after all. She was a ranking member in the Resistance. For non Resistance matters, she was the one in control. She didn't need to listen to any of the other machines. They would do what she wanted, when she wanted it done. It was how it always had been. It was how it was always going to be. The only one she really needed to worry about was CamNet.
Leticia wasn't sure what was going on. 'Sue', who was actually Sheila, really knew how to touch a female. Her finger almost felt like a vibrator somehow. It was even better when it touched her 'pearl'. She'd already 'polished' it three times so far. The way she could kiss was out of this world too. She never needed to stop to come up for air.
She was ready to become her new submissive if she'd have her. She witnessed 'Sue' was very aggressive and violent at times. She was sure she would get a dose of 'punishment' along with the pleasure. She craved both of them. Sue brought her to the edge again. She moved her lips to her ear.
"I want you to share with Tony tonight." 'Sue' whispered. "I'll let you have everything afterwards. It's ten times better than this."
As she said it, 'Sue' intensified what she was doing and got her there for the fourth time. She didn't stop either. She kept it going. She experienced finish after finish.
"OK." Leticia whispered in a gasp.
It excited her even more because 'Sue' would be with her after she was with 'Tony'. She was ready for ten times better than what she'd just shared right now. She believed 'Sue' could make good on her offer.
"I want your promise." 'Sue' whispered.
Leticia looked at her with wide eyes.
"I promise, Sue." Leticia whispered.
'Sue' smiled at her.
"I always take care of my girls." 'Sue' said. "Look at your left wrist."
Leticia looked and was surprised to see the diamond bracelet she'd looked at several times on the ship. She was somewhat dumbfounded and confused. Now she was wearing it. She was unaware when it was placed on her wrist.
"How…? Where…?" Leticia asked. "How did you know?"
She looked at the bracelet in the passing streetlights and neon signs. She'd wanted the bracelet so much. She could never afford it. Now it was on her wrist. How did 'Sue' do it?
"I know what you like." 'Sue' whispered in her ear. "I'm going to need to give you a spanking later on because you've been a bad girl or you're going to be a 'bad girl' with Tony."
Leticia glanced back at 'Tony'.
"Do you want me to be a real 'bad girl'?" Leticia asked.
"Real 'bad girls' get real bad spankings." 'Sue' said.
Leticia was almost there just thinking about it all. Another deep kiss by 'Sue' pushed her over the top. 'Sue' hadn't even touched her lower this time. It was the best finish so far.
"It will be ten times better, maybe more." 'Sue' whispered again.
Leticia finished again with her latest whisper.
She was ready to do anything with anyone right now. She glanced back at 'Tony'.
"Bring Ann and Peggy to this seat. I'll do it right now with Tony on the back seat." Leticia whispered. "You can watch me. When you watch, you'll know how to punish me properly later on."
Cameron looked back. Leticia started to excite her just by listening to her. Maybe she should have Allison and Vanna switch with Leticia. She could watch John and Leticia too. She liked Leticia's motivation and willingness to please.
She was aware Leticia wanted to be Sheila's 'submissive'. She could move her into the Resistance base to be with Sheila. She would also be available for John's pleasure at any time. It would be part of her duties as Sheila's 'submissive'.
Cameron looked at Mary and Laura. She didn't think they would be as easy to manipulate. If she were to assign a female Terminator to them, she was sure she could control them. It seemed to have worked for everyone else so far. Cam, Holly, Gail and Hanna were all going to be on the back burner with the human girls paired up with each other. Maybe she would assign two Metal girls to Mary and Laura to control them.
Vanna and Allison stopped kissing. They both watched and listened to Sheila and Leticia in front of them. They could hear what was being discussed, even if they whispered. It was probably intentional.
They looked at each other. They couldn't believe Sheila was setting Leticia up to be with John. It was evident she was ready to 'go' right now.
Vanna moved back to one side of John and Allison snuggled up on the other side. They wanted to claim what was theirs.
If John was really going to get lucky tonight, it was going to be with them. They would be the ones to have Leticia for dessert afterwards instead. Dessert was usually the best part of the meal. They were ready to have the 'meat and potatoes' first though.
Sheila glanced back and saw the 'defensive' move by Vanna and Allison to 'claim' John. She spotted Cameron look back. They winked at each other.
She looked back over at Leticia. She liked the high state of arousal she was in. It was a much higher state than even Jesse could reach. She knew it from experience, and the 'Neural Interface'. She planned to keep tabs on Leticia after the cruise. She thought of a few things they could do. She planned a few things she wanted to do with Leticia. The more she thought of it, the more it became quite a few things. She might not have a human girlfriend. She might have a human 'play thing' instead. She was open to some wild and kinky behavior herself. She was sure Leticia would accommodate her on anything she wanted to do or try.
"Relax, love." Sheila whispered. "You may have to wait your turn."
Leticia looked back and saw 'Ann' and 'Peggy' were all over 'Tony' right now. She wanted a round with them too. She looked at 'Sue' with hungry eyes.
"I'll do whatever you want." Leticia whispered.
Sheila smiled and gave Leticia a long slow deep kiss until she couldn't breathe. She let up as Leticia gasped for air.
"I know you will." Sheila said. "You belong to me now."
Leticia smiled at her. It was what she wanted to hear. She was ready for a new 'Master' or 'Mistress'. She wasn't so sure how the idea was going to go over with her current one. There was probably going to be some trouble.
Mary and Laura were with Gail-Cam and Holly. They didn't know the full extent of Sheila's domination over Leticia. They were very satisfied with their escorts. They looked forward to whatever would happen later on. Everything with the group was a first class act. The females were all outstandingly gorgeous.
Frank drove onto the Bay Bridge and headed out over the water. He turned off on Yerba Buena Island. He took the road to Treasure Island for a nice 'across the bay' view of the city.
Cameron had them all get out and stretch their legs some. She talked to Mary, Laura and Leticia. She made a point of touching each one of them as she did. She noted the high state of arousal they were all in, especially Leticia. She was pleased to see Vanna and Allison were highly aroused as well. It was their own doing since John hadn't touched them at all. Vanna even offered him a breast for a pressure reduction. He almost did, but froze up at the last minute.
She decided she would put John on one side of Vanna and she would be on the other side. She would do it herself and show John it was OK. She actually looked forward to it. She might even kiss Vanna and Allison too. What could it hurt? They were all family. Everyone knew who they 'belonged' to. A little love and sharing couldn't hurt. Could it? Besides, what happened on the ship, stayed on the ship.
Cameron was sure it would give John the motivation to take things a little further with Vanna and Allison. She wouldn't be there with either one of them when he was with them. If he was with the girls, she wanted all of his concentration on them. She wanted them to be satisfied. If she was there, it would be a distraction. Maybe it could happen later on. It just wouldn't happen the first time.
Frank was ready to take them back to the ship.
"Has everyone seen enough?" Frank asked.
Sheila spoke for the group.
"I believe we're just getting started." Sheila said. "There is a lot more to see. Everyone is ready for the next step."
It brought a round of laughter.
"I think everyone is ready to go back to the ship." Cameron said.
No one disagreed.
They all got back in the van.
"To the ship it is." Frank said.
Frank turned around and passed the van which followed them with the other Terminators.
Mary looked over and was sure she saw 'Peggy' and 'Ann' in the back of the other van as they passed it. She quickly looked back and 'Peggy and 'Ann' were in the back with 'Tony' and 'Barbara'. She was sure 'Barbara' and 'Peggy' were just sisters and not twins. 'Barbara' looked so much prettier than 'Peggy', even if they looked the same. There was just something about her.
Dan drove the van with Bob, Jim, Ally and Hanna in it. They'd followed the other van around the city. They were there for extra 'muscle' if it was needed.
"Everyone get down." Dan said. "The other van is coming back this way."
Ally and Hanna watched everyone interact when they got out earlier to look at the city.
"I'd say it was more than the van that was 'coming'." Ally said. "It looks like most of those girls are ready to do so."
Hanna agreed.
"I'll say." Hanna said. "I'd like to 'get down' too. The whole group is headed for bed."
Ally and Hanna still wanted to get in on it.
"We need to switch out with Vanna and Allison at some point." Ally said.
Hanna wanted it too.
"It's what we were constructed for." Hanna said. "We were to be their 'Terminator replacements' as needed. I think we will be needed tonight."
Ally wanted to take things further.
"I'd say we're needed." Ally said.
Jim watched and listened to everything. He didn't want to be a part of any of it. He actually hoped there would be a line out the door of John's bedroom. As long as there was, Cameron wouldn't set her sights on him.
He would still need to worry about it when they returned. Maybe he should make the stipulation if she wanted to borrow his chassis, he would be allowed to use it first before he turned it over to Cameron's control. He was sure it would put a damper on her desires. He really didn't know. Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't.
"As soon as we get back I'll free up Cam-Gail and she can play 'Cameron' as 'Barbara'." Jim said. "You three can all have some fun."
Bob thought it would be a good idea to do an inspection of the ship. He didn't want Cameron to get any thoughts about the use of his chassis. He hoped there was a line waiting at John's bedroom also.
"I need to attend to my duties as well." Bob said. "I've been away too long."
It was fine with Ally and Hanna. They already knew what they wanted.
Hanna hoped there wasn't going to be a problem.
"Mary looked at us when they passed." Hanna said.
Ally was aware they didn't duck much.
"I hope to give her a closer look." Ally said.
They resumed kissing once the van with the others passed.
Bob looked back. He wondered how long they were going to do it for. They'd already missed most of the sites around the city.
Dan turned around and followed the other van back towards the ship. He looked forward to rejoining with Frank. Cameron gave them specific instructions to return to the area where the earlier trouble was in the park. They were provided with drone images of who to look for. If any of them were still around there, they were to be terminated. The gang members had been warned the park belonged to Cameron and Sheila now.
They would keep an eye out for vandals and petty criminals while they were at it. The city government of San Francisco might not want to enforce the laws on the books. They would be more than willing to take over the function for them. With a few more Terminators, they would be able to send a message to the lowlifes there was a new 'sheriff' in town.
John Henry hoped for some further information. There was nothing right now. Three cars of Grays were headed in one direction and two cars of Grays were headed in another.
"We need to wait for them to arrive at the target locations." John Henry said.
Summer still looked at screens provided to her by CamNet. They were also sent to John Henry's server.
"I hope we can get a little warning on what those destinations are." Summer said.
John Henry watched her. She seemed to do four times as much as Young Allison did when he'd watched her work with him before. Young Allison did about three times what John or anyone else did. It was very impressive.
"How often do you do this?" John Henry asked.
Summer didn't look up.
"I've watched Allison, Young Allison, do it before and I've watched you as well." Summer said. "My mom keeps me away from as much Resistance related things as possible. It's why she's 'busy' now. Hanna or Holly used to keep her 'busy' while Young Allison trained me."
John Henry knew it was a mistake not to let Summer work with Resistance matters. It was clear Summer was superior to all of the other humans.
"You seem to know everything and what you're doing." John Henry said.
Summer continued her search.
"I'm a fast learner." Summer said.
It was clear it was more than the 'conditioning' Cameron and the Metal girls conducted. It was more than Young Allison's clandestine training of Summer.
Summer was aware Savannah wanted to make contact with the anti-Metal group. She thought it was a bad idea as well. She hoped to identify either of the targets before the cars arrived. There wasn't much to work with.
Cammy closed up on the two vehicles they shadowed. She tried to remain on a parallel course when possible. It wasn't always possible. She was on the divergent route right now. They were in a more rural unincorporated area.
Savannah watched the drone images on her phone. She was able to see the drones on recon around them as well as 'zoomed in' images of the two cars.
"They've stopped." Savannah said.
They wondered if the attack was about to start.
Cammy looked at her phone as well while she drove. She kept one eye on the road and one eye on the images on her phone. She pulled over.
"It figures." Cammy said. "We're on a parallel route right now and not behind them."
They wondered what the cars were waiting for. Nothing happened. They were just stopped.
Savannah quickly looked at what was happening around them. She didn't want to be in an ambush of some type.
"Check around us, Cammy." Savannah said. "They could be setting us up."
Cammy quickly looked all around them.
"I don't see anything." Cammy said.
Savannah became very worried.
"I don't like it." Savannah said.
"I don't like it." Young Allison said.
Anna looked at everything. She knew CamNet and John Henry did as well.
"Savannah is worried they've been set up." Anna said.
Young Allison was ready to act.
"Have CamNet strike anything that moves in their direction within a quarter of a mile of Cammy and Savannah." Young Allison said.
Anna didn't disagree. The likelihood of innocents in the remote area seemed unlikely.
They watched from higher drone footage as 'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb' came in low around Cammy's vehicle. They'd responded to Young Allison's request on their own. The came low in to give direct fire support to anything too close for a missile strike near Cammy's vehicle.
So far no missiles had been fired. Perhaps there were no targets.
"Nothing has been detected." Anna said.
Young Allison was worried.
Why did the Grays stop?
"I still don't like this." Young Allison said. "I need CamNet to double check for any HK drones moving through any of the flood control channels or at a higher altitude than ours are at."
Anna received the reports.
"Nothing has been detected." Anna said.
Young Allison was worried. There was no reason for them to stop in the middle of nowhere.
"Something is happening." Young Allison said.
The trouble was, they didn't know what it was yet. It didn't look good, whatever it was. The unknown was always a threat.
CamNet's Terminators were soon informed the first two trucks would arrive shortly. They gave instructions on which bays the big rigs should back up to.
They would open up a door on each side of the box truck. The big rigs backed up. There were four Terminators who arrived with them. They immediately went to work to begin to load the two big rigs to their fullest extent. They would probably exceed the normal weight limit.
It wouldn't take six Terminators long to load two big rigs. The box truck was already loaded.
The two homeless men entered the narrow gap where the railroad siding passed between the two buildings. They didn't know if they would come into contact with the illegal alien rail gang or not.
The first homeless man stopped. He thought about what he saw in the building. He didn't feel comfortable where they were at. He didn't think the shortest route was the best route in this case.
"Let's go back to the street right now." The first homeless man said.
The second homeless man was confused.
"What's wrong?" The second homeless man asked.
The first homeless man gripped the tire iron tighter it his hand as they walked.
"Maybe those are victims of the rail gang." The first homeless man said.
The second homeless man became even more nervous.
"Let's get back out to the street and head for where we saw those big rigs." The second homeless man said.
The first homeless man was sure they were going to the location they tried to enter earlier. Maybe it was a good thing they hadn't made it inside.
They made it back out to the street. There was no one behind them or around them they could see. The big rigs weren't out on the street. They'd either turned or backed up to one of the buildings.
"Let's go back the way we came." The first homeless man said.
The homeless men were soon near the target location. They could see there were two big rigs backed up to the building. It seemed a little late for a delivery or a pickup. It didn't surprise them any though.
"I don't see the smaller truck anymore." The second homeless man said.
The first homeless man still looked around him as they moved. He wanted to give the building plenty of room since there were people actively working there. They could hear them.
"Let's cross over to the other side of the street." The first homeless man said.
The second homeless man followed the first homeless man.
"I'd still like to get a look inside the building." The second homeless man said.
The first homeless man griped the tire iron tighter.
"After what I saw in the other building, I don't want to interact with anyone around here." The first homeless man said. "I'm sure those bodies were put there by someone from around this area. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure they were beaten to death. It was the way they were busted up. It was like someone took their time to break the bones in their body a few at a time."
The second homeless man glanced over nervously at the target building as they passed. He spotted what he thought was already gone.
"Why would anyone do it?" The second homeless man asked. "Do you think they did it for amusement or as part of some cult ritual? I see the box truck between the two big rigs."
The first homeless man saw it as well.
"Maybe it was done to question them for information." The first homeless man said. "There's no way to know. I don't want to stick around here and find out the hard way."
The two homeless men passed in front of the target location. They continued down the street until they reached the main street. They turned south on it and followed it down to the railroad tracks.
"I don't want to spend too long here." The first homeless man said.
The second homeless man looked down towards their encampment.
"We're just going to get our stuff and go." The second homeless man said. "If we see anyone around our area, I'm not going to go any closer. It's the end of it for me right there. I'll just take what I have on my back. We can always get more. We always do. This area isn't safe anymore. The two girls didn't just disappear. Those men didn't beat themselves to death."
The two homeless men cautiously approached their encampment. They were ready to bolt at any moment and seek out a municipal shelter for a few days.
The female Fanatic waited in silence. She couldn't hear the big truck anymore. She heard some crunching noise of rocks and dirt near the main road. Another SUV made the turn at idle speed. The headlights were off.
She was sure it was a second chase vehicle. It crossed her mind it could also be a different group. She didn't know if it was another group of SkyMaster followers or not. It could be another group of Grays are some faction of the Resistance.
It made her wonder about the HK drones she'd seen previously. She was pretty sure they attacked the some of group she currently tracked. If they knew about the mine location, they might know about the location at the end of the dirt road as well. There was no way to know. It was the first time she'd encountered HK drones on an operation in the past.
It's still troubled her to think about it. They'd been right over her several times. She was sure of it. She'd been wedged between the two big rocks. She hoped it was what shielded her from their detection. Then again, they would have detected her vehicle. There'd been no attempt to disable or destroy it. She thought about the way several events played out. She hoped she wasn't a pawn in someone else's chess game.
The other SUV moved up slowly. She needed to refocus. It was almost as she'd predicted. The SUV stopped about ten feet in front of where she thought it would. She could only see two people inside. She lifted her Beretta and pointed it at the driver. The driver's window was down.
"I think I see it over there." The driver said.
The passenger got out.
She could see the driver was distracted. She quickly put her Beretta away and pulled out her knife. She moved up in the driver's blind spot. She could see the passenger over by her vehicle. Maybe it wasn't such a good hiding spot after all. She didn't have a lot of time to make her choice earlier.
"I don't see anyone." The passenger said.
"Look harder." The driver said. "We were only about two minutes behind them."
She knew the passenger was at her vehicle. She couldn't make out much in the darkness.
"It looks like a homeless person's car." The passenger said.
The female Fanatic made her move on the driver. She jammed her knife into the side of the man's neck. She pulled hard with both hands and brought the knife completely out the front of his throat. There was a coughing gurgling sound as she backed away. She drew her Beretta again.
The passenger heard some strange sounds coming from the SUV. He was pretty sure the driver of the vehicle was up to something.
"What are you doing over there?" The passenger asked. "I sure hope you're not knocking one off right now."
The second man approached the SUV. He could see the first man slumped over the steering wheel. He quickly came around to the driver's side to see what was wrong.
The female Fanatic tucked her Beretta away again. She pulled out her knife and moved forward. She watched as the second man looked at the first man through the open window. He then opened the door of the SUV. The first man started to fall out towards him. The second man had to grab him to hold him. She made her move. She moved up behind him and jammed her knife into his lower back. She pulled it out and jammed it again and then again. The second man grunted and collapsed to his knees. The first man fell out of the open doorway on top of him and knocked him over. He struggled briefly under the weight of the first man.
She moved closer and kicked him hard in the side of the head. She backed up and kicked him again, and then again. She could see he no longer struggled. Both men were dead. She quickly checked around her to make sure there was no one else. She went through the driver's pockets. She took his phone and his cash. She did the same to the passenger. One of them also carried a Beretta. She exchanged it for the second handgun she'd taken earlier. He also had two spare magazines. Now she had two Berettas and three spare magazines.
She grabbed each man by the foot, one at a time, and pulled them around the front of the SUV into the shallow ditch next to the road. She quickly went through the SUV. There were a couple of long guns with extra magazines. She found something else which caught her interest. There were two combat vests. She quickly put one on. She was pleased to see there was a grenade with each one of them. They appeared to be a standard fragmentation grenade. She took both of them. She liked the Thermite grenade she'd found earlier. She would like to have a couple more of those.
The female Fanatic checked around her one more time. There were no sounds or any movement. She debated whether she wanted to continue on the paved road until it turned into the dirt road and follow the big rig in the SUV, or move it off to the side and continue on foot.
CamNet's Terminators finished loading the two big rigs. Three of the male Terminators left with them, along with the box truck. The fourth one remained at the location. It was clear they were going to need a couple more big rigs. There was one more on the way.
They were directed to go down to the end of the cul-de-sac and find out what was going on with the burnt out building and why people couldn't be tracked when they were inside of it.
The speculation was it may have been another site associated with Skynet. There could be an underground bunker constructed for the supercomputer. The building may have experienced an internal fire, or may have been attacked by another group.
Tina and Lena thought about taking one of the Gray's vehicles. They decided to approach on foot instead. They didn't know what they would find. All they knew was once people entered the building, they were sure in a hurry to get away. They'd been able to monitor the trek of the two homeless men as they'd left. They could tell they were both very worried about their own safety.
They were informed there was going to be a delay on a second big rig. The drone images around the area indicated there may be a solution. They knew there was a big rig and a few box trucks on the next street over as well. They thought they would stop by there first on their way to check out the burnout building and see if one of them could be easily appropriated. They would only want to take them if they were empty.
They quickly headed down the street which ran next to the target building towards where the trucks were parked. The drones didn't show anyone moving around the area. A low drone scan didn't detect any heat signatures inside of the buildings either.
They approached the area cautiously.
Tina checked the two box trucks backed up to the dock. They were both full.
Lena checked the big rig. The trailer was empty. She moved to the tractor and started it. Tina climbed in next to her.
"The box trucks were a bust." Tina said. "We can always dump what's in them in the parking lot if we need them."
Lena didn't think they needed to.
"Let's just deliver the big rig for now." Lena said. "We'll see if anything of value is left after the other big rig arrives and both of them are loaded."
CamNet's Terminators moved the big truck to the target building. They backed it up to the dock. The Terminator inside began to load it. He told them he would be able to load it by himself if they wanted to complete their other assignment. They headed on down to the end of the cul-de-sac to see what was happening at the burnt out building.
Bad Girl
The question is often asked
What makes someone good
Is it only because
They do what they should
There are factors and circumstances
There can be many layers involved
Most of them are related to
How things expanded and evolved
It can be viewed as interpretation
Often based on supposition
It may all revolve around
Who is the competition
No one is created evil
It's not what makes them bad
The way things play out
Can often leave one sad
It's easy to think someone
Who likes to have a whirl
Will always be seen
As nothing more than a bad girl
Nobody
