Chapter 1460
Sticky Hands
Young Allison was back at home now. The event earlier was over. She needed to take a quick shower and get ready. It didn't take her long to get Tight. Cameron worked with her on how to do everything for as long as she could remember. Cameron always stressed her appearance would be important to John.
She stripped off her clothes after she turned the water on. She wanted it to be nice and warm. She knew Anna would be close by or could hear her anyway.
"Are you going to shower with me?" Young Allison asked.
Anna appeared in the door naked with all of her clothes held in her hands. It was clear she'd anticipated it.
"Yes." Anna said.
Anna set her clothes on the bed next to Young Allison's clothes which were now laid out. Everything was ready to go.
The two naked girls headed for the shower.
They entered and quickly washed each other off. They got out and dried off and then dried each other's backs.
They were both unusually silent. The incident which happened on the way home was fresh in both of their minds. They both had different views on what should have been done. There was some tension over what almost was done.
"I don't want to talk about it." Young Allison said.
Anna tilted her head slightly.
"I didn't say anything." Anna said.
Young Allison felt Anna wanted to remind her she said not to deal with it.
"You want to." Young Allison said.
Anna tried to be playful.
"Are you like River now too?" Anna asked.
Young Alison didn't think she was. She knew someone else who was.
"Summer is." Young Allison said.
They moved into the bedroom and started to dress. They made sure each other was perfect. They both used a little makeup which they didn't normally use.
Anna ran her eyes over Young Allison.
"Look at you." Anna said. "You're Tight."
Young Allison did the same with Anna.
"You're pretty Hot yourself." Young Allison said.
They stood side by side and looked in the mirror. They were both very pleased with how they looked together.
Anna wanted to move things along. They still needed to get to the Resistance base.
"I think we're ready." Anna said.
Young Allison held Anna's gaze.
"I'm always ready." Young Allison said.
Anna frowned at Young Allison and rolled her eyes.
Young Allison giggled.
They collected their gear and headed out.
Mel was in the SUV. They got in the back seat. Brian joined them a few seconds later and sat in the front. He drove away from the house.
Anna looked ahead and in back of them after one block. Someone was missing.
"Where's Randy?" Anna asked.
Normally there would be a second SUV which could be used as a ramming weapon or a blocking vehicle if the situation dictated it. It was where Randy and Brian would usually be.
Mel didn't want her to worry.
"CamNet asked us to prepare something special for your journey." Mel said. "She was very pleased about the earlier activity."
Young Allison felt she'd done the right thing, even if no one else did. It pleased her CamNet took notice and approved of her actions. She hoped CamNet approved of her actions because they were the right thing to do, not because she was the one who'd done them. She wasn't really sure. Maybe it was best not to discuss it.
"I don't want to talk about it." Young Allison said. "I do like the treat though."
It was clear they were headed to the airport. It wasn't clear which one yet. The airport they'd end up at would determine what aircraft would be used. She didn't want to start contemplating the possibilities until she knew which airport it was. It didn't really matter to her. All flying was good, some of it was just better.
Cameron previously turned her audio input off because she didn't want to hear John snore. She also decided to pleasure herself while she waited for John to wake up. She didn't want to go into standby.
John opened his eyes. He was surprised to see someone in bed when he woke up. It wasn't usually the case. He looked over and could see it looked like Cameron. With everything that went on all week on the ship, it could be Cameron, Cam, Cammy, Camille, Ally or Allison. He did a double take and determined it wasn't Young Allison. Then again, there could be some temple management involved and it could be.
He hoped it would be Cameron, but he didn't care at this point. He would be with whoever it was. He actually hoped it was Allison. It's what Cameron said she wanted for him anyway.
He was about to say something when he noticed what she was doing. He lifted his head a little to see what she was doing better. It was what it looked like. She was polishing her pearl. He watched her finish but she kept going and did it again and again. He watched her do it seven more times. He was sure it was a Metal girl at this point.
"I can help you out." John said.
There was no response. It worried him some.
He waited until she finished one more time and then gently touched her.
Her head turned to face him. He watched a smile blossom.
Cameron turned her audio input back on.
"Hi, John." Cameron said. "I didn't want to disturb you."
John noticed she moved her hands away from herself. He didn't want her to worry about it.
"You didn't. I just woke up." John said.
No one mentioned what just happened.
Cameron wiped her hand off on the sheet and picked up her phone. She wanted to check the status of Young Allison. She was near the airport.
"We have time for a quickie if you want. I can be on top if you're still tired." Cameron said. "We need to be ready in about forty five minutes for the briefing."
John thought about how long he would need to shower and get ready.
"In that case, you can start me up and I'll be on top after you do." John said. "I can start you up too."
Cameron glanced at where she wiped her hand off at. She'd already started herself up. She was more than ready.
"I'm good for now." Cameron said.
She bent down and went to work on John.
John was pretty sure it was Cameron. It didn't really matter right now….
Young Allison knew they were headed to the airport. She wasn't sure which one it was yet. If it was the one in Lancaster they would most likely take a UH-1. If they went to Cameron's private airstrip, it could be the B-25. She was good with either one.
They took the turnoff for the Lancaster airport. She spotted the Huey sitting on the tarmac. She was surprised to see it wasn't running.
Mel dropped them off.
Randy stood next to the UH-1.
Brian got out of the SUV with Anna and Young Allison.
Anna looked at Young Allison.
"Do the walk around with me." Anna said.
Young Allison was thrilled to hear it. She should get to be the copilot.
"Are you going to fly us?" Young Allison asked.
Anna wanted to give Young Allison something to think about.
"I'll take us off and land us." Anna said.
Young Alison quickly understood what it meant. She would be able to get some more flight time in.
"Oh boy!" Young Allison said.
Anna was pleased to see how thrilled Young Allison looked. She hoped the earlier tension between them was forgotten, at least for now. She was aware if they hadn't intervened when Young Allison insisted they did, the female would have been terminated. As to how events played out, she didn't know. She purposely didn't check to find out. Maybe at some point she would. She just didn't want to do it now.
The female was given the option to seek vengeance with a butcher knife. The male was securely tied so he wouldn't be able to resist. She could call the police and have them deal with it. She could untie him and try to have everything return to normal. She really didn't know how someone went back to 'normal' after someone really tried to kill them. It reminded her of the incident with John and Cameron when she'd malfunctioned. Maybe it was possible. They seemed to manage.
It was still dark out. The sun should come up right before they arrived at Van Nuys.
They did the 'once around'. Everything looked good.
Randy and Brian would go with them.
Young Allison didn't want to short change anyone.
"What about Mel?" Young Allison asked.
Anna felt the answer was self evident.
"He'll pick us up when we return." Anna said.
Young Allison knew Randy was already there when they'd arrived.
"Isn't there already an SUV here Randy came in?" Young Allison asked.
Young Allison looked around but didn't spot It.
Randy didn't want there to be any confusion.
"Brian brought me here earlier." Randy said.
Young Allison could see things had been in the works for a while.
"I'll go with whatever the plan is." Young Allison said.
Randy wanted to make it clear they didn't know what the plan was.
"We may fly the Iroquois back if you stay longer at the Resistance base." Randy said. "The Metal girls, or Cameron, would accompany you back then. I already warmed up the helicopter for you. I shut it down so it wouldn't mess up your hair."
Young Allison knew not to make a big deal over it. She wondered if he did it on his own, or if someone suggested it to him. It was better not to ask, at least not at this time.
"It's fine." Young Allison said. "Thank you."
Anna strapped in the pilot's seat and Young Allison did the same for the copilot's seat. The seat was already adjusted for her.
Randy and Brian got in the back. Mel waited by the SUV. He would remain there until they left.
Anna wanted to give Young Allison a chance to practice her skills.
"I'll let you run through the start up procedure and then fire the turbine." Anna said.
Young Allison was ready for it. She'd watched the training videos at night and practiced everything. She'd also watched Cameron and Savannah before.
She ran through everything without a hitch and fired the turbine once she saw it was clear around them.
The turbine was burning and the rotor was turning. They were ready for takeoff. All the instruments checked out.
Anna wanted to give Young Allison the maximum amount of experience.
"Let's do it together." Anna said.
Young Allison was thrilled. She also wanted to set a few safeguards into play.
"I want you to take it if there's any problem or anything seems off." Young Allison said. "I'll let you land it though."
Young Allison blew Mel a kiss.
He smiled and waved back.
Young Allison and Anna looked around and up. Both of their hands and feet were on the controls. The Huey lifted off smoothly. They took it up to four thousand feet and started out for Van Nuys.
Anna glanced over at Young Allison.
"You got it?" Anna asked.
Young Allison nodded.
"I got it." Young Allison said.
Her hands were on the controls since before take off.
Young Allison looked at the darkness around her and the ever growing glow to the east. It was on her left side as she flew. She was really excited about the flight.
Anna checked with CamNet. The sky belonged to them.
"CamNet has made sure the airspace is clear." Anna said. "You can take it up as high as you want, up to ten thousand feet."
Young Allison was pleased to know there wouldn't be any other aircraft. She knew Anna, Bryan and Randy would be on the lookout for any bogeys.
"Roger." Young Allison said.
She looked at her flight plan and checked her instruments.
She pushed the speed a little, but not the 'redline'. Savannah told her before to save it for when it was needed. She made a quick calculation of their ETA.
"We should make it to the Resistance hanger in about thirty-five minutes depending on any headwind we encounter." Young Allison said.
Anna thought it was a conservative estimate. She figured Young Allison would shave five to seven minutes off of it. They weren't in a hurry and the helicopter ride would save them quite a bit of time from having to take the freeway.
It looked like it would be a smooth enjoyable sunrise flight.
Savannah and Cammy knocked off a couple of quickies. It left them both very content. They showered and dressed.
Cammy kept trying to overdress Savannah.
Savannah didn't think it was necessary.
"I don't need to look Tight." Savannah said.
Cammy wanted Savannah at her best.
"Young Allison and Cameron will be." Cammy said.
Savannah hoped not. What if she was Tight and they weren't. The other females weren't the only ones she was worried about.
"What about John?" Savannah asked.
Cammy thought about what Cameron did earlier. It was after she saw she was wearing the formal dress.
"I don't know." Cammy said. "Cameron dressed him up for when she allowed him to deflower my chassis."
Savannah looked over at Cammy quickly. She didn't want Cammy to get carried away.
"It's more of a technical term." Savannah said. "I know there was nothing there, if there ever even was. There's been a lot happen down there."
Cammy felt it still meant something. The 'first time' was the 'first time' regardless of what physical barriers existed or didn't exist.
"It was still the 'first time' my chassis was with a male." Cammy said.
Savannah asked both Young Jesse and Allison what it was like to be with John. They both seemed pretty elated about it. They both told her it was like what they'd already experimented with on with each other. It was more exciting because it was 'someone new', and really a male. They both said it was a little discomforting at first because it wasn't what they were 'used to'.
Plenty went on down there already and Young Jesse did have a baby 'in some future'. So it wasn't painful, there was just some discomfort at first. Claire told her the same thing as well before. If she hadn't done it for a few weeks with Paul, it was like the same way too. Everything was back to 'normal' in about ten seconds or so and fine from there on out.
She originally wasn't going to ask Cammy unless she said something. It was because it was really Cameron who'd done it in her chassis and then she gave Cammy the file. It still rubbed her the wrong way. Cammy seemed OK with it so she let it slide. It wasn't an option she would want to use on her own.
"Maybe you can tell me about it some more." Savannah said.
Cammy wanted her own experience. So far all she had to go on was Cameron's experience and a file.
"Maybe I will when I get to do it myself." Cammy said.
Savannah figured it was a pretty good bet she'd do it with John before Cameron honored her promise to Cammy, or any of the Metal girls, to have their 'one time' alone with John.
Cammy urged her to fix herself anyway.
Savannah did dress up to look Tight. She wanted to look 'good' for Cameron and Young Allison both. It wouldn't hurt to have John check her out either. She would see who John looked at more. She was willing to bet it would be Young Allison. Cameron and her would probably do the same thing.
They went through the finishing touches. Once they were done they would head out. They would make a stop by the commissary.
As soon as Cameron got John started up, she moved up over him. He wanted to lead but she was more than ready. She took control. It was smooth sailing. She'd already finished sixty three times before John woke up.
Things happened pretty fast for both of them. They finished up quickly. They showered and got ready for the briefing.
John could see Cameron put a lot of effort into getting dressed.
"Wow!" John said. "You look really Tight."
Cameron smiled. She wanted to downplay things.
"It's just a few things I threw on." Cameron said.
She checked her hair and her makeup. She was satisfied.
John was a little concerned about his appearance based on hers.
"How do I look?" John asked.
Cameron thought John looked very handsome.
"You look like you're dressed for a 'Smart Casual' night." Cameron said.
John was never really sure what it meant on the ship. There didn't seem to be any actual written description as to what it was. He'd sure like to have another meal on this ship.
"I wish it was." John said. "Are we going to the main dining room or the buffet?"
Cameron tilted her head slightly.
"We can stop by the commissary once you're ready." Cameron said. "It's as close as we have."
John smiled to himself.
Hanna was in the process of 'conditioning' Summer when Vanna arrived. It was a surprise to her. She decided she'd better wrap it up early and slip out of Summer's room. She wished she would have put some clothes on first before she'd gone in there. She'd expected to join Claire again.
She looked around and shrugged her shoulders. She exited out into the hall. She listened at the door from the hall and heard the pass door open. She wasn't sure if Summer got up or someone checked on Summer.
Hanna decided to head for one of the Metal girl's rooms. She figured she would be a big hit when she arrived naked. It would save her the trouble of undressing anyway. She would still need to borrow some clothes at some point.
She was surprised to get a message from CamNet on her com. It looked like she just pulled a new mission. She needed to get dressed and get moving.
Claire was thrilled to share with Vanna. She wasn't sure if it was because of the fact Hanna and Vanna were almost identical. She did like the size of Vanna's nursing breasts though and what they could provide her with.
She got up to check on Summer once. She was asleep in her bed.
She wondered where Hanna went, but didn't think much of it. Vanna was there and she intended to make the most of it. Allison was a little hesitant to share Vanna with her for some reason.
Young Jesse's eyes opened. She thought she heard a noise. She looked around and was surprised Camille wasn't there. She got up and listened at the pass door to Savannah's room. She wondered if she was still in there. It sounded quiet.
She carefully opened the door. The room was dark. There was a night light on. She slipped inside. Savannah's bed was made. It meant she was already up and out.
She was about to return to her room when she noticed the pass door to the next room was open a little bit. It seemed odd. Savannah told her the room was for Young Allison when she moved to the base. She peeked inside and someone was in the bed.
'Who is it?' Young Jesse wondered.
She saw they were covered by a sheet.
Now she wondered if she'd made too much noise with Vanna earlier and Savannah moved in there because it was quieter. She figured Savannah left the door ajar so she would find where she was at.
She was in Young Allison's room now. She wished she would have looked at a clock. She didn't have a clue as to what time it was. There wasn't one visible from where she was at. She edged closer to the bed and looked down at the sleeping form. The light was very dim.
It was Young Allison!
Young Jesse knew Young Allison was 'off limits' to everyone but Savannah. She was about to turn around and go back when Young Allison moved. The sheet slipped off her breasts.
Wait.
They looked just like Camille's breasts. Maybe it was Allison. She moved closer to look. It could be Young Allison as well. She hadn't seen her for a while. Savannah told her how Young Allison looked like Cameron.
Her face was right in front of the sleeping figure when her big brown eyes opened. She reached up and gave her a kiss. It was Allison.
Allison threw the sheet back and moved over.
"Join me." Allison said.
Young Jesse did.
They immediately started to kiss and touch each other.
"Jesse?" Allison asked.
Young Jesse thought of the simplest explanation.
"I'm the younger one." Young Jesse said.
As soon as she said it, Allison was all over her with a renewed vigor. It was even better.
"That's just my style." Allison said.
The two girls got down to business….
Anna and Young Allison were in a UH-1 on its way to Van Nuys airport. They were on their way to a briefing at the Resistance base.
Young Allison slowed the speed some and turned the Huey towards the east.
They watched the sun come up over the horizon. It grew more brilliant by the second. As soon as it was up she swung the helicopter back south. They were over the north end of the Valley at this point. She picked the speed back up and they were over Van Nuys four minutes later. Anna handled the air traffic control with the tower. There was no other air traffic around them. They arrived over the tarmac in front of the Resistance hangar.
Young Allison glanced over at Anna. She was ready to turn control for the landing over to her
"You got it?" Young Allison asked.
Anna was ready. She wanted Young Allison to practice with her
"I got it." Anna said. "Stay on the controls with me."
Young Allison did and they made a smooth landing.
"Shut it down." Anna said.
Young Allison did and the rotor spun down. It was almost stopped when they got out. They still didn't want to mess up their hair.
They did a 'once around' the copter to make sure everything looked good.
An SUV pulled up.
Young Allison's face lit up.
"I think it's Savannah!" Young Allison said.
The side window came down.
"Almost." Hanna said. "I'm the fourth next best thing to Savannah anyway."
Anna smiled at her statement. It meant Hanna placed Vanna and her in front of herself.
"Close enough." Young Allison said.
She looked at Randy and Brian.
"Are you coming with us?" Young Allison asked.
CamNet previously instructed them to wait at the airport with the Iroquois. They could assist with anything which needed to be done in the hangar
"No." Brian said. "We're to remain here for now."
Young Allison went back and touched each of them on the cheek and thanked them.
It seemed to please them greatly.
Young Allison and Anna headed for the SUV.
Hanna missed being around Young Allison everyday.
"Do I get one of those?" Hanna asked.
Young Allison didn't see why not. She wanted to see what she could get out of it for herself.
"Sure." Young Allison said.
She leaned over in the window and touched Hanna's cheek with her right hand. With her left hand she reached down and touched her right breast. She was able to get a good feel and squeeze in.
Hanna was surprised at the warm greeting but not as surprised as she was at how fast Anna physically pulled Young Allison's left hand off of her breast.
"My hand slipped." Young Allison said.
Anna knew otherwise.
"Don't let it happen again." Anna said.
Hanna didn't want any trouble for Young Allison.
"She barely bumped me." Hanna said. "It wasn't a big deal."
Hanna winked at Young Allison.
Young Allison went to get in the front.
Anna was fully aware of what happened and what Young Allison did. She was sure she was as jealous as she was upset.
"Get in the back and keep your hands to yourself." Anna said. "You know the rules."
Young Allison shrugged her shoulders and got in the rear seat. She didn't want the situation to worsen. She didn't need to be reminded about anything, especially the rules.
"I guess I do." Young Allison said. "I made them."
They drove back to the base without further incident.
"You two can stop by the commissary and grab a bite to eat." Hanna said. "I'm not sure when the others will be ready."
They entered the base and headed for the commissary.
Young Allison was very excited about seeing Savannah.
"I want to stop by and see if Savannah is ready." Young Allison said.
Anna wondered what Young Allison really was after.
"I'm not sure it's a good idea." Anna said.
Anna figured Savannah would be 'busy'. She didn't want it to bother Young Allison. She knew it would, even if Young Allison tried to act like it didn't. What Young Allison did with Hanna bothered her.
CamNet was faced with a new mystery. She would suppress any emergency response to the burning building. She directed the male Terminator to follow the two individuals in the car who'd been the attackers.
There was a second drone on station with the male Terminator. It orbited around the building which had just been attacked. So far no one else exited from the building. The white van which was hit with the RPG was a burnt out hulk in front of the building. The two men who'd been inside of it, still laid in the street. Their burnt bodies weren't going anywhere.
Second drone was joined by a third one. A fourth one soon arrived. One of them went with the male Terminator. One of them followed the vehicle with the attackers. Two of them remained over the burning building. It was doubtful everything was concluded there.
The vehicle with the two attackers did some evasive maneuvering as it left the scene of the incident. It was now several miles away. Their current route appeared to be steady. The male Terminator followed it on a parallel route. A drone remained over each of them.
The sun came up a short time ago. All of the drones needed to move to a higher altitude. They were still available for a missile shot or a gravity shot.
There was another explosion within the burning building. The entire back half of the building was blown out and the roof collapsed inward. The bodies behind the building were consumed in the inferno.
There was some movement at the front corner of the building. One individual crawled halfway out of the building. They collapsed there. The burning building soon consumed them and collapsed on top of what them and the van. Everything was consumed.
CamNet's male Terminator continued his pursuit of the fleeing vehicle.
Earlier:
Gray was instructed to pull his vehicle inside of the building. The leader of the team was there to greet him. He didn't look very happy.
He explained the story as best as he could. He told them in detail how there were two HK Tracks on a rampage. He'd been able to lure one down a shaft. The other one he'd been able to hit with a LAW rocket.
They seemed highly skeptical of his story. According to him, there were only two HK Tracks on a rampage and he was the one who took both of them down. They wondered what happened with everyone else and to everyone else.
He told them they were all dead. He claimed he checked all of them.
When they asked what happened to everything else in the mine, he said he didn't know. He told them of the massive explosion as soon as he left. He'd reported the HK Track was smoking and sparking after it was hit with the LAW rocket. It was his assumption the power cell in it ruptured and exploded.
The team leader left one man to continue questioning the sole survivor. He talked to his top aid in another room.
"I find his story hard to believe." The leader said.
The other man did as well.
"Nobody takes on two HK Tracks and survives." The other man said.
The leader knew it was possible for their group to have been infiltrated. They'd attempted to infiltrate other groups as well. Sometimes they were successful, sometimes they weren't.
"What do we know about this guy?" The leader asked. "Do you think he's a plant?"
The other man considered the possibilities.
"His story may be factual about two HK Tracks going on a rampage. It would explain what happened to all the other men. It seems someone would have needed to tamper with the HK Tracks before they were loaded onto the trucks, in the truck itself, or after they arrived at the mine. We know the warehouse at the end of the dirt road was taken down. We don't know by whom."
The leader previously sent one man to check what happened at the warehouse. He'd reported back it was completely destroyed. He'd gone off to several other locations and made the same report. Everything was destroyed. One or more groups were attacking all their locations. Luckily the one where they were at was unknown to anyone.
"I don't want to torture one of our guys if he's legit." The leader said. "He was at the mine when everything else happened. He could be part of another group. We're going to have to find out. He may have come here to do the same thing. If he was in the mine before the trucks arrived, there's no way he could have had contact with the HK Tracks here now. Not yet anyway. "
The other man indicated the workroom area.
"What about the stuff we unloaded from those big rigs?" The other man asked.
The leader didn't want any trouble.
"Let's test one of them and see what happens." The leader said. "I don't want any surprises in the middle of the night."
The other man headed for the door.
"It past the middle of the night." The other man said. "It will be morning soon. The eastern horizon is already lit up."
The leader followed him out. They went to one of the HK Tracks which was unloaded from one of the big rigs earlier in the day. It was actually yesterday.
They opened it up and looked at the programming. They didn't touch or alter anything. Everything looked normal. They turned it on. They ran it through a few maneuvers. They actually drove it outside. It was sent back and forth along the side of the building before they drove it back inside of the building. They moved it back to its parking spot and turned it off.
"I didn't see any problems." The leader said.
The other man looked towards the office area.
"What do you want to do about the new guy?" The other man asked.
The leader really didn't know.
"I don't think he's dirty." The leader said.
The other man thought about the fantastic tale of survival.
"He sure was lucky." The other man said.
The leader wondered about his luck too.
"Let's keep an eye on him." The leader said. "Make sure he doesn't go near any of the equipment."
They could both feel the ground begin to vibrate. They heard the loud blast of the air horn as the train passed in back of their building.
"I hate It when it goes by." The other man said. "No wonder people who live along the railroad tracks have so many kids. They get woken up in the middle of the night and there's nothing else to do."
It really made him wish they had a female occupant for their 'comfort bunk'. He would go visit it if they did and test out the theory.
The leader laughed.
"It sure messes with the sleep." The leader said.
The leader spoke with the new guy a little longer. He was either dirty or a hero. He really didn't know which one it was. He sent one man around to inspect the perimeter. He would have him remain outside to watch over the area. He decided to go to bed. The other man did as well.
One Gray was sent out to patrol the perimeter. He went around the building in the back. It was hard to see. He didn't really see why he needed to do it. His shift would be up in a little while anyway. It would be daylight soon as well. It almost was anyway.
He moved around to the back. One rail siding went inside of the building. He checked the door, it was secure. He moved along where the other rail siding ran along the back of the building. He checked the three doors in the back. They were all secure. He stepped on the top of the rail and his foot slipped. He landed on his rear end. He cussed and got up.
He remembered one of the other men told him not to step on the rail before. They could be especially slippery with dew in the morning. They could be slippery anytime of the day. The other man told him a lot of the sidings and spurs used old main line rail. It was worn down and very smooth. It worked fine for a siding which saw a little rail traffic.
He made his way to the other side of the building and started back up. He wondered if he should check the other buildings. They hadn't told him to. He normally stayed out in the front to watch for anyone arriving on the road. It was how he'd spotted the new guy.
He noticed something between the two buildings. He stopped when he got to it. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a red plastic crate. He wondered where it came from. He figured the wind must have blown it in or some hobo threw it off of the train when it passed. Maybe it was from when some of the guys partied. He looked over towards the building. He reached up and touched the window. It was secured. He took the red create with him. He reached the front and looked around. He stayed there for a moment before he climbed up on the ramp where the cars and trucks drove into the building. He crossed over the ramp and went up on the dock. Everything was secured.
There was nothing he could spot from the outside which indicated there was anyone even in the building. Everything was still locked and blacked out. He went to the little spot on the dock where he could watch the road. He'd only seen one other car pass after the new arrival. They didn't even slow down. He used the red crate as a footrest. He took out a cigarette and lit it up.
Lena and Tina both wanted the drone over them to land so it could move them closer to the location faster. Even if it let them off a couple of miles away, they would be able to cover the distance rapidly.
They'd watched earlier as an HK Track exited the building and drove alongside of it a few times before it returned into the building. They wondered if it had something to do with what happened at the other location. It could have been on patrol as well. They thought it would have driven around a larger area.
They watched the train approach and go by without incident. The female Fanatic and her accomplice were able to make their way inside of the building They watched as one of the Grays inspected the exterior of the building. He checked all the doors and windows.
"I really think we should go there now." Lena said. "It will be our best chance to capture some more HK equipment."
Tina hoped there were more drones on the way. They could always call in a drone strike.
"I think there are other ways to handle everything." Tina said. "They don't need to involve us."
They were a little surprised at what happened with the white van. It was a good thing they'd cleaned out all of the electronics gear before it was blown up in front of the building.
Lena and Tina continued their drive. They could see it was going to be morning soon enough. The sun was just about to come up. It was probably one of the reasons why CamNet didn't want the drone to land and pick them up. They were both very displeased.
They were in.
The female Fanatic led Jill down the hall and out onto the workroom floor. There were a number of crates in various locations. There were two big rigs and a number of cars. The car of the Gray they'd followed was parked in back of one of the big rigs.
There was some noise both of them heard. It wasn't the sound they wanted to hear.
The females spoke in hushed tones.
"There's an HK Track moving around." The female Fanatic said.
Jill was a little concerned.
"It's not looking for us is it?" Jill asked.
The female Fanatic didn't think so.
"It might be on patrol." The female Fanatic said. "We know there were several inside of the mine."
Jill didn't need to be reminded about the way one of HK Tracks followed them. It got a couple of other ones. Eventually it got an HK drone to look for them. They were lucky they'd made it down the shaft. She didn't want to think about the adventure which followed. It was very troubling.
They watched the HK Track come inside the building and park. It parked next to three other ones. They moved behind some crates to get closer. They didn't want to get too close. They heard some men talking but couldn't tell what they were talking about. They looked over the HK Track and then left. They waited for a few minutes before they moved.
The female Fanatic wanted to determine what all was inside of the warehouse. She looked around the big rigs and vehicles. The rear doors on both of the big rigs were up. They were empty. They were keys and all of the vehicles including the one the Gray they'd followed drove.
"I thought there would be more stuff in here. This is a really big building." The female Fanatic said. "This might be a transit hub rather than a storage facility. They have an internal rail siding. They also have the siding along the back. No one can see what happens with the internal siding."
She couldn't find any indication there was a night watchman inside of the building. It didn't appear any of the HK Tracks were still active. She would need to check the one which entered the building a short time ago.
She took out a couple of transponders she'd taken from the dead Grays in the mine. They were both on. She'd given Jill a few as well. She checked those and made sure they were on too.
Jill thought about all of the dead men in the mine.
"Will these things work?" Jill asked.
The female Fanatic knew they would.
"I've used them before." The female Fanatic said. "As long as they have the right information in them, they'll work."
The female Fanatic took one more look around. There was no one spotted. She quietly moved up in back of the HK Track which recently parked. She was a little surprised to see all the access panels were off of it. They were sitting on the track of the HK Track next to it.
Jill noticed how it was as well. It looked like they were working on it.
"Are you going to reprogram this one to?" Jill asked.
The female Fanatic went right to work.
"I'm sure going to try." The female Fanatic said. "Keep a lookout around us. Always stay behind or below a crate. Try not to move around much. There shouldn't be anyone looking for us so I don't think it will be a problem."
Jill wanted to find the two truck drivers. She wanted to kill them. She at least wanted to make sure they were dead.
"Where are the other two big trucks at?" Jill asked.
The female Fanatic wanted to know herself.
"I don't know yet, but I intend to find out." The female Fanatic said. "They're somewhere. I don't think it's too far away from where we are either."
The female Fanatic went to work reprogramming the HK Track as Jill kept watch.
Know The Rules
Life turns in many directions
There are no shortages of troubles
Everyone must jump through the hoops
And go over the hurdles
It all takes great effort
As people work like mules
They need to make sure their decisions
Don't turn into stagnant cesspools
When the dice are rolled
Is it for all the marbles
Always be wary and on guard
For the trolls and ghouls
To make it all happen
There are many tools
It takes a lot of effort
To obtain the jewels
Shortcuts are the easy way
Don't forget honor and scruples
Try to work hard and play fair
Everyone already knows the rules
Nobody
