Chapter 1391

Nick You

John Henry informed Savannah when she was within seven miles of the three cars of Grays headed north up the 101 highway. She turned the Iroquois inland some more for additional distance until she was seven miles ahead of them and then came back over and picked up the 101 again. She didn't want them to spot the helicopter.

"I see our targets are still headed to the suspected area where Steve and Tom are waiting with Al and Ed." Savannah said.

Cammy was glad they were in the helicopter. It saved them a lot of driving time to catch up. Now they were ahead of the targets. The downside to it was, it put Savannah in the combat zone a lot sooner. If they were driving, things might have been over before they'd arrived. It would have put Savannah in a little less danger.

"We'll be there soon enough." Cammy said. "Steve has an LZ picked out for us. It's in back of an out of business big box store. He's attempting to get the lights working in the rear parking lot."

Savannah appreciated the effort. She didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. Maybe landing in the dark was better. She didn't want any mistakes on her part.

"It's not necessary." Savannah said. "I can try it in the dark again or you can take over for me if I need you to. I want you to do it anyway if I start to mess up or there's a problem. Just do it and don't ask. A safe landing is better than bruised pride."

Savannah flew without her night vision at five thousand feet and used the 101 for a reference as to her direction. She could also navigate by heading and air speed. She'd been over the same route several times before. There were known landmarks she was familiar with. John Henry or CamNet could inform her of 'way points' and heading changes. Flying wasn't the problem. It was landing in total darkness which could be. The night vision could mess with her perspective.

She looked back at Ned. He kept a watchful eye out on both sides and in front of them as well. He was ever vigilant for her as was Cammy. John Henry and CamNet cleared the airspace all around her. 'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb' orbited above her. One of them was higher above the other and out on a broader sweep. They were ready to engage any threat to the helicopter or unresponsive aircraft which violated her personal 'no fly zone'.

Cammy looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back. She would try and do it all on her own and see how it went. She may not always be able to rely on a Terminator in a dark LZ. It would be worse if it was a dark LZ that was hot.

"Let me know when I'm four miles out if I miss anything." Savannah said. "I'll try everything on my own first."

Cammy nodded.

"You'll do fine." Cammy said.

Savannah hoped she would.

"Sometimes it's nice to have help." Savannah said.

Cammy smiled. She was sure Savannah would pull it off without a hitch.

Anna wasn't surprised when Young Allison entered the shower with her. She could have used the shower in one of the other rooms like she normally did. Tonight she didn't. There was no sexual relationship permitted for them by Young Allison's own order. They could play around and have some 'girl' fun, but it was as far as it could go at this time. Private parts were off limits as far as stimulation went. There could be other things involved short of it.

It was close quarters with both of them in the shower but everything was done in good nature. The earlier tensions were forgotten. It brought them closer together. Even though they couldn't 'touch', they liked to 'see' each other.

Anna would report the slightest changes on Young Allison to Cameron. She just hoped Cameron wouldn't impregnate her by any means from traditional to artificial. It was unspoken knowledge Cameron wanted a baby from Young Allison as her own.

She watched as Young Allison picked up her razor.

Young Allison noticed Anna watch her.

"I want to use the laser before I go on my temporal mission." Young Allison said. "I don't want to have to deal with this in the past or the future at that point. I read razors really sucked back then."

Anna knew all the other females who 'needed' it went through the laser treatments except Young Allison. She hadn't needed it until more recently.

"I'll notify Cameron." Anna said. "She'll conduct the procedure herself."

Young Allison hoped Savannah could do it for her.

"Maybe she can show Savannah." Young Allison said.

Anna knew Young Allison wanted to show Savannah something else, or a little more, if it were the case.

"I'll inform her of your request." Anna said. "Training is always good."

Young Allison wondered what training for laser hair removal was good for, other than just removing hair. Any excuse would work. She decided to push things a little further.

"You could always assist me." Young Allison said.

Anna thought she could use the laser on Young Allison with no problem.

"I'll ask Cameron about it." Anna said. "I would appreciate the task."

Young Allison giggled.

"I meant now." Young Allison said. "I can't see some places very well without a mirror. I don't want to get hung up again. Once was enough for me."

Anna knew what Young Allison was doing.

"I wouldn't want to nick you. I don't want to hear about it." Anna said.

Young Allison smiled.

"You won't." Young Allison said. "It will save me a lot of time and hassle. Let's get this taken care of permanently."

Young Allison wanted the only hair on her body to be on her head. It seemed to be the trend of females everywhere. She found it somewhat ironic because everyone, including her, wanted to grow up faster. When they did, they tried to do things to make themselves look younger. She wondered how many billions were spent every year by females attempting to shave years off of their appearance.

Cam-Gail sat next to Jim and plugged in. She only wore a bathrobe. When she sat down, the top bowed open some and he could clearly see inside. Gail's chip was in Cam's chassis currently.

Jim would have preferred her to be in her own chassis. There was a lot more to see in that area. Since Cam was a clone of Cameron, there was nothing new there to see. Cameron spent plenty of time topless or naked over the years. Everyone possessed many scans and images of her. There was no difference between Cam and Cammy in that regard. Ally was identical, but a little bit less refined. Additional images of Ally were seldom taken or saved even when they could be. They just lacked the same appeal.

Cam-Gail noticed Jim check her out from time to time. Once she determined his scan pattern, she made sure there was plenty to be seen when he casually looked. She figured it would keep him off balance and make him more pliable with any requests she wanted to make.

Her main concern was the operation Savannah was headed to now. It looked like there was the potential for a major battle. She thought the vehicles the Grays were in should be targeted and neutralized with a missile strike. The team hoped to use the Grays to pinpoint where the HK equipment was hidden. She didn't think more than one vehicle was necessary for it. She communicated her concern to CamNet directly. CamNet often used her to carry out 'special projects' for her when they were related to Savannah. They both shared an 'understanding' of why they did things for Savannah.

Next she checked on Jesse. Savannah was her lover and Jesse was her true love. Both of them were at opposite extremes when it came to the bedroom and sex, as opposed to love. All of the girls from the future focused on sex. The girls from the present focused on love. The end result was the same. The journey there was very different. Savannah and Claire were sought out by everyone for that reason. There was always something deeper about the love route.

She reviewed the interaction with Claire and Samantha and then Jesse joined the two of them. Samantha soon returned back to her assignment which was watching over Precious. All indications were Jesse and Claire would be in Claire's room until tomorrow morning.

She briefly toyed with the idea of slipping into the Owner's Suite and passing herself off as 'Cameron'. She knew John was going to have a busy night without her in the mix. He'd seemed to have gotten off to a good start. She still wanted her 'one time' like Cameron promised her and the other Metal girls for letting Cameron take over their chassis and give their virginity to John.

Vanna and Allison hadn't shared with each other since their forays into the Owner's Suite. Allison was with Leticia before she went in to see John and Vanna was with Leticia after she was there with John. Right now both of them were with their Metal lovers.

Their Metal lovers had already done everything they might have done or more, so there were no hard feelings from anyone. For the Metal girls, it was actually Cameron who did it. She'd used their chassis and transferred over the file. They were all just one big happy family.

Allison wanted to be with Vanna now. She excused herself from Holly and went to the main bedroom of the Master Suite. Gail-Cam heard her arrive. She quickly got Vanna where she wanted to go before she excused herself and went to join Holly.

It was always different to watch Vanna be pleasured by someone else. She actually thought Vanna had a different reaction to each of the females she was with. Maybe some of the girls got Vanna further than she could. Their connection was always special. Their bond was a love connection and every finish was an act of love between them. They could separate the love-love from the love or the sex. There was a difference between all three of them.

They were able to finally make Cameron understand the differences. It was what allowed Cameron to share now and not be uneasy or threatened by it. Nobody was going to 'take' anything from Cameron. They would 'add' to John's life and not 'take' from her. They would add to Cameron's life too if she'd allow it. It was probably the main driving factor behind all the females' willingness to comply with Cameron's wishes. John was the stepping stone. Cameron was the prize.

Vanna watched Gail-Cam get up after she'd pleasured her and leave. She saw Allison at the doorway.

The two long time lovers looked at each other.

Vanna got up and stood as Allison approached. They silently embraced. They looked into each other's eyes and kissed. They didn't discuss what happened in the Owner's Suite with John.

The girls were where they wanted to be right now. It was with each other. They soon melted into each other's arms to share the real love they both wanted.

They each wondered if the other one would be 'different' now.

They really wondered what the other one actually did and how they did it. They could talk about it some other time. Neither one of them was in a hurry to discuss it. They each wondered if the other one 'blinked' at the moment of truth. They were content where they were at right now. It was all that really mattered.

Mary awoke as 'Peggy' started to fondle her.

'Peggy' this time was Ally instead of Allison. Mary didn't know the difference. What she did notice was 'Peggy' was much more energetic this time when they shared. She really was able to get things done quickly with whatever part of her body she used.

Mary didn't have a clue she was being 'worked' on by a Metal girl this time instead of a human female.

What she did know was she was having a really great time.

Hanna worked on Laura. Once she got Laura started and she knew it was 'Ann', Hanna turned out the light. She thought Laura might not notice the scar Vanna carried was 'gone'. She thought of damaging herself on the flight back so she could better mimic Vanna's scar but Ally wouldn't let her. Sheila was a little disappointed. She thought she was going to get to try and replicate Vanna's scar. It seemed the thought of damaging her sheath greatly excited Sheila. Sheila looked forward to cutting into her smooth sheath. It would have healed and been gone in a few hours anyway.

Laura didn't have a clue she was being 'worked' on by a Metal girl this time instead of a human female. She was pleased at how rapidly things happened.

What she did know was she was having a really great time.

Cameron was transfixed as she watched Sheila and Leticia together. She was only going to stay for a few minutes, but now she couldn't leave. There was a very aggressive animal lust which radiated from Leticia. Sheila always matched it and pushed it some more. It stimulated Cameron just to watch them. She could almost feel the level of pleasure they were sharing. She could feel herself about half way 'there' just watching and listening to them.

She wanted to use Sheila's chassis again. She wished there was some way she could use Leticia's body too. She already knew what her next captured female Terminator's sheath was going to look like.

She would like to have seen how Vanna and Allison reacted to John earlier, but she wasn't there. What she would like to see is John's reaction to Leticia.

She would attempt to convey her desire to Sheila in 'Terminator style' at a level only another Terminator could hear.

There was a lot of noise as Sheila and Leticia 'attacked' each other. She really wanted them to 'work' on her the same way. She was highly aroused just watching.

Sheila heard what Cameron wanted and quickly brought Leticia to a finish. It was her first 'grand' finish. She squealed with delight and lay there gasping afterwards. She'd never gone so far before.

Cameron realized she'd 'made it' at the same time Leticia did and she'd only watched them from another room. It'd been very intense. It was the first time it happened with only visual and auditory stimulation. There wasn't any physical contact on her part. It was one file she planned to keep. The plan would be to bring Leticia to the Owner's Suite for John. It should increase John's hunger for a human female. It sure increased her hunger for one.

Frank and Dan didn't have anything to do for the rest of the night. They could park somewhere and go into standby to pass the time or remain in the van and stay alert. It was pretty much what they did every night as they followed the ship up the coast.

Dan noticed Sheila was pleased because Frank enforced her directive that the 'park belonged to her'.

"We have some time to kill until tomorrow." Dan said. "Why don't we do what you did earlier?"

Frank enjoyed 'cleaning' the city up a little. It really needed it. He also liked Dan's choice of words.

"We can do it." Frank said. "We'll need Jim to direct all law enforcement away from where we'll operate. John Henry is busy with another operation."

They contacted Jim and told him what they were going to do. He instructed them the park would be available for their 'services' without any law enforcement interference.

They headed for Golden Gate Park to look for any gang activity.

They spotted one tagging crew at work. Frank showed Dan how to stop the taggers without needing to kill them. Dan thought it would have a better long term effect to terminate them. He was satisfied with the result once he saw it enacted. It seemed the paint really bothered the tagger's eyes when the spray cans 'exploded' right in front of their faces.

The homeless problem bothered both of them as well. They didn't like to see humans living in such squalor. It was unnecessary for them to do so. There were many services and shelters available to them. It appeared the homeless people near the park wanted to be there by choice. It seemed very odd to them.

"I don't think any of the homeless people around here will ever amount to anything." Dan said. "They seem very content where they're at."

Frank thought of the earlier incident with the homeless female he rescued. He didn't think all of them were content. He was sure some of them were misguided.

"I assisted a homeless female earlier." Frank said. "Two homeless men tried to force her to do something she didn't want to do. It was over a few bites of food. She said she hadn't eaten for two days. I didn't like what I saw."

Frank went on to tell him about how he tried to help her and the advice he gave her.

Dan didn't like females being pressured. He knew it was something the girls from the future, the girls from the present, and the Metal girls all sought to rectify.

"Maybe we should see what other crimes are being committed against those who are unable to defend themselves." Dan said. "No one likes a bully."

He also knew no one wanted to be violated in a sexual manner either.

They moved closer to the homeless area near the park. It was where the individuals came from who followed the girls from the ship earlier. They were the ones who received the water drop from the Blackhawk. There were other sections and branches of it, all around it.

Frank looked over the area in disgust.

"To see how the homeless plague has infested this city reminds me of some type of cancer." Frank said.

Dan understood what he meant.

"Cancer which is left untreated continues to infect the host." Dan said. "It will eventually kill them."

Jim alerted them to a new situation developing. It was a 'street takeover'. It was normally a coordinated effort where a group of individuals arrived at a certain intersection and began to do the illegal maneuvers with their vehicles. A large crowd usually formed to watch to watch. They were all in on it together.

It was a dozen blocks away from their location. They quickly set out on foot to cover the distance. It didn't take them long. Everything in San Francisco was relatively compact. It would also give them a chance to see what other situations needed to be rectified before they return to the park. It actually seemed there were quite a few.

They could hear the tires squealing and the engines revving long before they neared the location. There was cheering and honking from the spectators who'd arrived to encourage the illegal behavior.

"You would think the police would be able to respond to an incident like this as quickly as we could." Dan said.

Frank watched as the cars spun around and did 'donuts' in the intersection. There were three of them doing it at the same time. There was a lot of smoke from the squealing tires. It looked extremely dangerous.

"It appears the spectators fuel the insanity." Frank said.

Dan didn't think spray cans were the only thing they could shoot with their silenced M9 pistols.

"Let's take out a couple tires on each of those vehicles simultaneously." Dan said. "It will drastically change what they're currently doing."

Frank quickly realized there would be several collisions. There might even be an incursion into the crowd.

"Some of the spectators may be injured." Frank said. "The vehicles involved will probably collide and end up in the scrap yard."

Dan didn't think it was a problem.

"They're all there by choice." Dan said. "Not only do they all know what they're doing is illegal, they all know it's wrong. It's time to remind them of the realities of life. Everything has a price, including lawlessness. The seeds of future Scavengers are right here in front of us."

Frank picked up some movement in an alley off to the side as they watched the 'street takeover' become more insane. There were now four vehicles doing donuts simultaneously.

"There are two taggers vandalizing the rear of those buildings." Frank said.

Dan wanted to take action. The streets should be safe for law abiding citizens.

"Let's take them down and then stop the insanity on the street." Dan said.

They proceeded to shoot the spray cans in both of the tagger's hands. They were both on the ground holding their faces and screaming now.

They immediately turned their attention to the chaos in the street. They each fired four times. All four cars spun out of control. Two of them immediately collided. The third one went wild and headed towards the crowd. People scattered in all directions. The vehicle impacted into some parked vehicles of the spectators. It burst into flames. The fourth vehicle impacted the curb and rolled over onto its roof. It spun around in a wild circle with the engine racing.

They watched the crowd scatter in all directions. There were half a dozen more collisions as people tried to leave the scene. No one stopped to trade information. It wasn't in their nature to follow the rules.

The driver was able to climb out of the burning vehicle. They stood near it screaming. The car spinning on its top finally came to a stop. The driver climbed out of it and behaved in much of the same manner as the driver of the burning vehicle. The two cars which collided earlier turned into a bigger problem. The two individuals got out and immediately started fighting with each other. They each blamed the other one for their car being totaled. Once the crowd thinned out, all that was left were the two men fighting, the two men screaming about their vehicles and the two men screaming in the alley about their eyes.

"I think our work here is finished." Frank said. "Let's go see what else we can rectify."

Dan thought it was a very productive way to spend the 'down time'.

They headed back towards the park. They didn't think they were done there yet.

Anna handed Young Allison back the razor. It hadn't taken her long to finish.

"Don't expect me to do it on a regular basis." Anna said. "You missed a few spots before."

Young Allison frowned.

"Whatever." Young Allison said. "I'll do it myself."

Young Allison cleaned the razor off and put it back in its place in the shower.

Anna didn't want things to get carried away.

"You know I must operate under certain restrictions by your own order." Anna said.

Young Allison didn't think it was a big deal. It only took Anna a very short time.

"It's why I wanted a little help. At least I didn't get nicked this time." Young Allison said. "I usually do about every third time I do it."

Anna figured it was about once a week. She noticed a couple of the tiny scars. It seemed they would disappear in no time. She would talk to Cameron about the procedure to eliminate the problem.

They both dried each other off in the bedroom.

They playfully dressed each other.

Anna received an alert from CamNet. The playful mood quickly evaporated. It appeared things were about to become a little more involved.

They quickly headed down into the bunker to see what happened.

Anna plugged in. She was instantly updated.

"One of the three cars that were headed up the coast has broken off from the other two." Anna said. "It may be about to return."

Young Allison contemplated what the reason might be.

"I bet they can't contact the other two cars who went after the anti-Metal group and are going back to check on them." Young Allison said. "It's going to split the group up."

Anna received another update.

"CamNet confirms several of the phones at the battle site have been ringing." Anna said. "The two Terminators who were left there have policed the area and are about to leave."

There were currently four Terminators who tailed the three cars headed north on the 101.

Young Allison wanted to have a contingency plan in place. She didn't want any of the Grays to get away.

"Have Hank and Larry follow them." Young Allison said. "Richard and Michael can still pursue the other two cars. Keep at least one drone with them and one over the target vehicle."

Anna decided to prompt Young Allison with a protocol reminder. She was about to change the current plan.

"Do you wish to confer with John Henry?" Anna asked.

Young Allison wanted to cooperate as much as possible. It was easy to forget. The 'General' was out and decisions needed to be made.

"Run it by him and notify me of any changes." Young Allison said.

Anna wondered about some preemptive action. She thought there were a few options available based upon their current location.

"Do you want them to come all the way back or do you want to deal with them in one of the isolated spots along the 101?" Anna asked. "There isn't much traffic in some stretches."

Young Allison thought the Grays pulled out from where they were previously. This group seemed to be done with the Los Angeles area for now. They took the Skynet hard drives and cleared out.

"Maybe I'll have a drone disable their vehicle near a spot where they can pull off of the 101." Young Allison said. "I'd rather not use a missile on the main highway. I will if it is necessary. I don't want Hank and Larry to face any extra danger."

Young Allison checked the tracking on the satellite overlay maps. She noted where the other teams were at. Savannah was almost at her destination. She looked at the location of all the players in real time. It seemed there were a few options available to her.

"I've thought about it some more." Young Allison said. "This is what I think will happen…."

John Henry didn't like the change in plans by the Grays. Depending on how things played out, they might have the Resistance forces strung out all over the area. The teams could end up miles apart in a very short time.

He thought Savannah should only have sent Cameron back to the ship and kept the other Terminators to assist them since they were short on Terminators. They could have always been returned later on.

He was surprised when Anna contacted him directly about the change in plans. Normally CamNet would inform him of the changes. This way he had some input. The plan as presented was a good one. He didn't see the need to change anything.

He did mention he thought they should disable the Gray's vehicle and deal with them before they returned back to where they'd left from. They were all going to be terminated anyway.

He'd been able to track some of their communications and would be able to deal with some light phone traffic if the need arose. If there were code words or set procedures, he didn't know them. If they acted too early against the one car, the other two vehicles of Grays would know they were being tracked. They may scatter and they would lose a few of them. They most likely wouldn't go to the location where the HK equipment was kept. He asked Anna to pass the information along.

Anna smiled as she finished her current conversation with John Henry.

"It's what you suspected." Anna said. "He agreed with everything including not tipping our hand too early."

Young Allison doubted he agreed with all her decisions.

"I bet he didn't like me sending the team from the ship, back to the ship." Young Allison said.

Anna felt Savannah played a factor in the decision as well about returning the group from the ship, back to the ship.

"He didn't comment to me directly about it." Anna said.

Young Allison didn't want it to be an issue later on.

"You can mention it was an adventurous 'shore excursion' for them if he does." Young Allison said.

Anna tilted her head slightly.

"Technically you're correct." Anna said. "It was a very adventurous shore excursion."

John looked around. He felt a little confused.

He thought he was in his room at the base at first.

He blinked his eyes and remembered he was in the Owner's Suite on the ship.

He'd just experienced a wonderful time earlier. He wanted to remember it when he heard someone talking.

"Are you sure Barbara won't mind?"

John tried to place the voice.

"No, she wants the best for Tony."

He placed that one. It was 'Jesse'. Now he wondered who 'Tony' was.

"OK, Sue, I'll do whatever you want me to do. Tony is a great looking guy. I hope he's 'hung'."

"I can attest he is." 'Jesse' said. "I've been with him more than once."

John tried to think who 'Sue' was and 'Barbara' as well for that matter.

Wait!

What did 'Jesse' just say?

It all came back to him.

'Barbara' was Cameron, 'Sue' was Sheila and 'Tony' was him.

It sounded like it was Leticia and Sheila in the hall outside the master bedroom in the Owner's Suite. It was what he wanted. He'd even dreamt about it a little after Allison left while he waited for Cameron to show back up. It was really something to look forward to.

"Are you just going to watch or join in?" Leticia asked. "I like an audience."

"I'll just stay until you two get started." Sheila said. "I want you to give him your loving best. Don't rush things and make him feel your inner love. Take him there and hold him there."

"I'll let him take me 'around the world'." Leticia said. "I like it. I like it everywhere."

"I want you to lead." Sheila said.

"I'm not on birth control." Leticia said.

"It's nothing to worry about." Sheila said. "I'll take care of things for you if you get pregnant."

John could hear them kiss. It was a long one. He hoped they stopped fooling around and entered the room.

He was ready and didn't want to lose it. It was always harder to come back for a 'restart'.

Leticia walked into the bedroom and looked around.

"Hello, Leticia." John said.

"Hello, Tony." Leticia said.

John stood and Leticia looked at him as he looked at her.

"Wow!" Leticia said. "You're ready already. I want it bad. I haven't been with a male in awhile."

John reached up to fondle her jewelry but stopped. He didn't want to seem overly aggressive or like he didn't care about her.

Leticia took his hands and continued their journey to her breasts.

"These are yours right now." Leticia said. "Everything is for you now. I'll do anything you want. My body belongs to you."

It excited John even more. She wanted him.

"You're extremely beautiful." John said.

She moved forward and kissed him.

John knew right away it was going to be his best time ever. It was a kiss unlike any other one he remembered. It seemed he didn't remember much right now.

She gently pushed him onto the bed.

She reached over and turned the night stand light on.

"I like people to see me." Leticia said. "I want them to remember me."

She climbed up on top of him as she bent her head down. She planned to finish him off there to start out. It would be a two way street to get there.

John could see everything perfectly. He really liked the look.

It was even better than he'd ever dreamt….

Steve was unable to get the lights to function. The power was out to the entire building. There wasn't enough time to reroute anything.

He'd previously checked the landing zone for any debris which could be kicked around. He'd removed any hazards.

He could hear the Iroquois as it neared.

A set of headlights flashed around the rear wall.

Steve looked over and saw Tom was back. He was just in time to help assist. They would be able to use the headlights to help light the landing zone.

They were ready for Savannah and Cammy.

Cammy received the report from Steve. She was a little disappointed.

"There won't be any parking lot lights at the landing zone." Cammy said. "There will be the headlights from two SUVs."

Savannah checked her instruments. She might as well get in some practice.

She took out her night vision.

"Have them turn off the lights on their vehicles and I'll try it in the dark." Savannah said. "I need the practice and the LZ isn't hot."

Cammy knew it was tough for Savannah.

"What else do you need to watch for?" Cammy asked.

Savannah knew a couple of the dangers.

"I need to watch for power lines and light poles." Savannah said. "I also need to check for any trees."

Cammy pointed out another danger which didn't apply to this situation.

"If it was dirt or sand, you could lose visibility." Cammy said. "This is asphalt."

Savannah brought the Huey down and slowed to a hover. She smoothly set it down on the ground. She was glad it wasn't dirt.

She checked over all the instruments one more time and then shut the turbine down.

She waved at Steve and Tom in the moonlight. She did a 'once around' the helicopter with Cammy. Nothing irregular was spotted. It looked like it was a good flight.

Ned checked everything himself and moved back into the pilot's seat. He would remain there until the operation was concluded. The helicopter was concealed from the street behind the building and there was no traffic at this hour.

Savannah and Cammy went to the vehicle Tom called them over to.

"Hi, Tom." Savannah said as she touched his cheek.

Steve came over and Savannah did the same thing with him.

Cammy noticed but acted like she didn't. It irritated her. She was afraid of the day when Savannah would start to share with the male Terminators. She knew it would happen at some point. She hoped it was years away.

They gave Cammy and Savannah a run down on what they had so far. It was nothing solid. They hoped the Grays led them to the location they were after.

Savannah was surprised and pleased Tom picked up some food for her. She offered to share a bite with everyone. They all declined.

She ate her food as the group made plans with Al and Ed.

They would stage in three selected locations. They were sure the Grays would arrive at one of them. Since there were only two cars of Grays, it should make things easier.

Savannah soon remembered there was nothing easy about the unknown. They really didn't have a clue as to what they would face or how involved it would get. Anything could happen. Anything could go wrong. There was still the threat of the HK equipment they were after becoming active.

CamNet's Terminators each picked a door. They would make a simultaneous entry. There should be one man in each room. From the drone scans they knew the approximate location of where they were in the rooms.

Lena opened the door to the room she was going to enter. It didn't make much noise. She quickly advanced into the room. It was dark. She could see where everything was at. She was able to walk right up to the man as he slept. She grabbed his neck and choked him out. She quickly bound and gagged him.

Tina opened the door to her room. The hinges made a squeak sound. She thought the man would notice. She quickly spotted where he was at and what he was doing. It seemed he was currently preoccupied. There was a rhythmic motion to his hand. It was below his waist.

She walked right up to him as he continued to pleasure himself. The man suddenly stopped and looked in her direction. He still held himself.

"You should have picked up your pistol instead of your 'gun'." Tina said.

She reached down and choked him out. She bound and gagged him.

The two female Terminators left the bound Grays in their rooms. They checked the other rooms in the hall. There were a few computers in one of the rooms. There was another room with bunks in it. There was a 'comfort bunk' over in the corner. It was unoccupied.

There was nothing of significance in the office area. They both headed for the workroom floor.

"What do you think we're going to find?" Tina asked.

Lena was a little concerned about the lack of personnel.

"I'm not really sure." Lena said.

They open the door to the workroom area and entered.

There was some machinery. There were a lot of empty spots.

"It looks like somebody decided to clean this place out." Tina said.

Lena was sure it was because of all the recent activity.

"I think we can only blame it on ourselves." Lena said. "Well, us and the female Fanatic. She has been rather busy."

They looked around at everything there.

Tina opened the roll up door to the building and went to the back of the truck. She lifted the rear door. There were several large machines in the back of it. It appeared to be a CNC mill which had been disassembled.

"I wonder where they were moving this equipment to." Tina said.

Lena looked back towards the front of the building.

"We have two men who might want to tell us before they terminate." Lena said.

The two Terminators move back into the building after they closed the door on the truck and the roll up door on the building. They each enter the room of the man they taken into custody previously.

Lena picked her man up and carried him out to the work room area. She believed he was the truck driver. She wanted to question him where the other man couldn't hear. He was still out. She dropped him on the floor.

Tina entered the room where she captured the other Gray. He appeared to be awake as she approached him. Everything was still out. She could see things were a little slack now, compared to how they were previously.

The room was still dark as she stood over him. She reached down and removed his gag. He started with a flurry of threats and questions. She listened to him bluster for ten seconds. She let her eyes glow red, and remain red. The man suddenly stopped talking.

"I think we both know how this works." Tina said with a mechanical voice.

She thought it would be more intimidating. In the dim light she didn't believe the man could tell if she possessed male or female attributes. She wanted him to view her as a machine. A machine which couldn't be bargained with. A machine which wouldn't feel pity or fear or remorse. A machine focused on accomplishing the task.

Lena looked around the work room area. She heard an occasional grunt of pain from the front area. She figured the man Tina questioned was a little slow to respond. She would scan him as she questioned him to see if his answers were truthful. Every non truthful answer would produce some type of corrective action. The corrective action was usually very painful.

The man she wanted to question soon came around. He was still bound and gagged as he looked at her. She reached down and picked up a large 'open end adjustable' wrench. The man's eyes widened some. He probably thought she was going to hit him with it.

Instead, she held the wrench with both hands and bent it in half. The man's eyes widened even further. He knew what she was.

She reached down towards him. The man tried to back away. There was no where for him to go.

"You will speak only when spoken to." Lena said. "If you speak out of turn, I'll hit you. If you issue threats or swear words, I'll break a bone. Each word will result in a broken bone. Each bone can be broken many times. I won't tell you again. I'm going to scan you as you're questioned. Every lie will produce a broken bone."

They could hear a cry of pain from the front area.

"It appears your associate is a slow learner." Lena said.

There was another more intense cry of pain from the front area.

Lena removed the man's gag. It appeared he was about to issue a string of cuss words. She quickly grabbed his right leg and held his shin with both of her hands as she looked at him.

The man looked over at the bent in half wrench. His bones would break a lot easier than the hardened steel of the bent wrench. He knew his leg was going to look exactly like it if he said anything. No sound came out of his mouth.

Lena smiled at him.

"That's much better." Lena said. "Let's get started."

Lena began to question her man about the operation. She wanted to know what happened at the other buildings as well as where the machinery was headed. She already knew quite a few details about the other buildings associated with the group.

The man was quite talkative. Sometimes he was a little slow to answer until he looked at the wrench. The answer soon followed. The cries of pain turned into screams from the front area.

CamNet's Terminators gleaned as much information from the two men as they could get. It wasn't very much. It was as they'd suspected. Both of the men were low level flunkies. It was time to wrap things up.

The female Fanatic moved up to the roll up door. She listened intently. She took a quick peek inside. The interior was very dark. What she could see sent a chill down her spine.

There was a row of HK Tracks parked inside of the building. There was a second row behind them. It didn't appear as if any of them were active. She glanced over towards where the security camera was on the wall. If she crossed into the interior, the camera would more than likely pick her up. She doubted anyone would be paying much attention to anything. It was late. The other man had just gone into the building less than two minutes ago.

She slipped inside the doorway. She quickly moved where the HK Tracks were parked. She knew if she was in close they wouldn't be able to use their weapons against her. It was why they normally operated in pairs. If someone attempted to climb on one, the other one would shoot them off. She was relieved to see none of them moved as she approached them. She crouched down between two of them and looked around. She didn't spot anyone.

She moved back to the second row. She paused and looked around again. She wondered where the man was at who'd gone for a smoke. She didn't see anyone moving around anywhere. She wanted to see if there was any other equipment anywhere. She didn't see any other than the two rows of HK Tracks.

It was still quiet. No alarm has been sounded yet. She decided to move further back into the building to see what else she could find. She didn't spot any machinery which was actively hooked up. There were a few machines. They appeared to be in storage. She believed where she was at was a storage location. The last few places she'd been to were involved in either the manufacturer or the assembly of components.

She made her way towards the front of the building. She spotted a restroom off to the side. She'd consumed a lot of liquid in the last few hours. She decided to use the restroom. She took one look around and quickly slipped inside. She entered a stall and closed the door. She quickly took care of business. She made her way to the restroom door and carefully looked out. There was still no one around. She slipped back outside.

It seemed like too big of a risk to enter the front part where the sleeping quarters would normally be. She figured there were probably about ten or more men currently there. There were seven big rigs. She spotted two other men besides the truck driver earlier.

She knew there was currently a detainee on the 'comfort bunk'. She didn't want to end up there as well. She wouldn't be able to assist the female at this time, if at all.

A phone rang. She tried to determine where it was at. It sounded close.

"Yeah." The man said.

Pause.

"When?" The man asked.

Pause.

"The whole place?" The man asked.

Pause.

"The other place too?" The man asked.

Pause.

"Right now?" The man asked.

Pause.

"You have to be kidding me." The man said.

Pause.

"I know you don't kid." The man said.

Pause.

"I don't think it's going to go over real big." The man said.

Pause.

"All right, already, I'm on it." The man said.

Pause.

"Do you want me to sound the alarm?" The man asked.

Pause.

"I'll have them start loading right away." The man said.

It sounded to her as if the call ended. She wasn't sure if she'd been detected or not. It didn't sound like it. It sounded like a report coming in from one of the other locations. She was aware she wasn't the only player on the field. Maybe the mystery group had taken down a couple of her targets. She'd already needed to leave several of them behind. She planned to visit them later.

"This is going to go over like a lead balloon." The man muttered to himself.

She'd taken refuge behind some boxes. She was a little surprised to see the man come out of a door next to the restroom. She could look for a place to hide or she could try to make her way back out. It sounded like they were going to start moving the equipment inside of the building to the trucks. She didn't believe she could do enough damage with the two bombs she currently carried.

She looked over where the HK Tracks were parked. Maybe if she could get to one of those and place the bomb close enough to its power cell, she might be able to get it to explode. She didn't think she had time to remove the power cell from its armored mount.

The female Fanatic thought her best move was to withdraw from the building. She would attempt to follow the big rigs to wherever they were headed. She already knew this location. She didn't know where the equipment was going to be taken. She attempted to reverse her tracks and go out the way she'd entered.

Nick You

Someone who is shallow
Is easy to see through
Not much of what they say
Is going to be true

They are lost in lies
The truth they slew
Their past haunts them
It sticks to them like glue

What has already transpired
Makes a good preview
There's nothing that's new
When they make their debut

Keep your guard up
Don't be easy to subdue
Nothing is at face value
Give it all a good review

Don't be distracted by the view
Think about the future too
Beware of cupid's arrow
It will do more than nick you

Nobody
