Chapter 1461


I Know I Will Be


Savannah and Cammy headed out first. They passed by John's room. As they did, the door opened. John and Cameron walked out.

They all greeted each other.

Cammy and Cameron looked each other over. They were both Tight.

John and Savannah exchanged a few quick glances.

Savannah was aware John now knew every detail on her body since he'd been with Vanna and Cameron when she'd used Hanna's chassis.

"There's no mystery left." Savannah said.

John disagreed. He'd expected to hear a comment along those lines. He didn't expect to hear it now. He thought it would be when they were about to share. He was ready with a contingency plan.

"There's the unique person inside of it all." John said.

Savannah liked his answer.

Before the four of them could move off, there were two more figures who rapidly approached them. It was Young Allison and Anna.

Savannah leaned close to John.

"It looks like things just got better." Savannah whispered in John's ear. "I mean for both of us."

John suppressed a smile. He was very pleased to see Young Allison and Anna. He took a look at the females around him. It was hard to imagine so much beauty all in one place at the same time.

They all exchange pleasantries. Young Allison and Savannah gave each other a long hug. Cammy and Anna looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Cameron smiled.

John felt a rush of excitement as he watched it all.

"Wow!" John said. "Everyone looks sharp and very pretty. I'm surrounded by beautiful women. You all look very Tight."

Young Allison moved close to John. She wanted to remind him about something important. It was important to her anyway. She made a play on his words with some real meaning.

"I don't know about them, but I know I will be." Young Allison whispered in John's other ear.

Anna, Cammy and Cameron all quickly looked at Young Allison.

John looked a little embarrassed. He could picture what Young Allison just indicated. He really wanted to find out.

Savannah knew she missed something. She figured Young Allison probably said something of questionable moral value.

"I take it I don't want to know." Savannah said.

The Metal girls knew what Young Allison said was true. They didn't want to make Savannah feel self conscious. She already delivered two children with one more on the way. None of them were for her.

"You don't." Everyone but Young Allison said at the same time.

Young Allison shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

They headed for the commissary. No one really wanted to eat anything at this point. They bypassed it and went straight into the Command Center.

John Henry greeted everyone. He'd placed some extra monitors around the room and four more underneath the big screen. They would be able to see multiple views of the same event at the same time this way.

CamNet and John Henry completed CGI images for anything the body cams, drone footage or Terminator visual files didn't pick up or show. Electronics didn't work in the one building the girls were in. The CGI imagery would take care of the void. The images were created based upon each of the eyewitnesses reports. The majority of details matched so it should give a good accurate and factual representation of what occurred.

Savannah and Young Allison would both explain the roles they played in all of the events. Cammy and Anna would add what was necessary. CamNet was with them in the background and would add anything she thought was necessary.

The narration and comments would be edited and added to the presentation as it happened. It would be available for the rest of the Resistance team to view and study later on. New CGI imagery world be added or corrected to make the record complete and accurate.

CamNet informed Cameron directly Young Allison and Savannah both asked to have a few things omitted. Cameron said it was fine and she'd run interference if John made an issue with them. She was pretty sure what Savannah wanted omitted. She wasn't sure what Young Allison wanted omitted. She would see what the situation was at the time before the omission and afterwards.

The presentation started with Cammy and Savannah as they watched the team board the ship….


Gail was with Jesse. Jesse seemed a little different now to her. The fact she was pregnant was still a mystery to her. She hadn't mentioned it to Jesse or asked anything about it. Jesse hadn't said a word about anything related to it.

Sheila was with them now too. Gail and Sheila discussed what they'd scanned in a low decibel level. They were both stumped.

Samantha called and asked if Jesse was available.

Jesse saw Gail take the call and figured what it was.

She looked down at her breasts and gave both of them a squeeze.

"I'm good to go and on my way." Jesse said.

She looked around and picked up a bathrobe she'd brought home from the ship and put it on.

"I'll leave you two gals to each other." Jesse said. "Make the most of it."

Jesse was a little surprised when neither one of them offered to go with her. She figured they really must want each other. There was nothing wrong with it. She gave them both a kiss and left.


Gail and Sheila tried to look at the surveillance footage from earlier at the base. It was blocked. It wasn't usually the case.

"Who blocked it?" Gail asked.

Sheila wondered if Cameron was involved.

"Maybe it was Cameron." Sheila said. "She must have a reason."

Gail thought it might go a little deeper.

"Maybe it was blocked from Cameron." Gail said. "It might cause her to have a problem. Some things set her off rather quickly."

Sheila was sure CamNet was involved if it was the case. If CamNet was involved, it was a good idea not to force the issue. There could be serious repercussions.

"We don't know." Sheila said. "Maybe we're not supposed to know what happened yet."

Gail was very concerned about the personal trauma to Jesse.

"I'm afraid to tell Jesse she's pregnant." Gail said. "She was hurt a lot by all her failures."

Sheila was personally involved with most of the sexual activity aboard the ship. She was there when some events occurred.

"Young Jesse has it covered for her. She's pregnant too." Sheila said. "I was there when it happened."

Gail's eyes widened some. She pictured what Sheila indicated.

"You watched Young Jesse make love with John?" Gail asked.

Sheila smiled. She would have liked to have seen it.

"I wasn't actually there when she got 'popped'. It would've been Hot." Sheila said. "I would have liked to have watched her face when John made his move."

Gail was aware there was some mild discomfort at first in both of the chassis she was in when Cameron used them.

"What do you mean you 'were there when it happened', if you weren't there?" Gail asked.

Sheila was sharing with Young Jesse at the time. She'd scanned her frequently as they shared.

"I was with her when conception occurred." Sheila said.

Gail wanted the file. It sounded like something beautiful.

"Can I have a copy?" Gail asked.

Sheila was always willing to share. It didn't really matter what it was. She did like some reciprocation in return.

"I'll share all my files with Young Jesse, if you share yours with me." Sheila said.

Gail wanted the files. She quickly looked around for a tether.

They plugged each other in.

Gail figured they might as well make the most of their time with each other. She could also easily picture Sheila as Jesse or Young Jesse at any point when they shared.

"We can do the file transfer while we share." Gail said.

A broad smile graced Sheila's face.

"I like the way you think." Sheila said.

They both hoped to get the file of Cameron breaking in the other's chassis to see how they compared. They also hoped to get the files of each other with the three girls from the ship. File sharing was almost as good as the real thing. Once they possessed the file, it was as if it was their own experience.


Jesse wondered how Young Jesse was doing. She decided to pass by Savannah's room real quick. She arrived outside Savannah's door and listened. It was quiet. She opened the door and peeked in.

The room was dark and looked empty. She was about to close the door. She noticed the door to what would be Young Allison's room was open.

She'd heard it mentioned Young Allison was going to come for the briefing today. Maybe she'd arrived late last night. She was going to close Savannah's door and leave when she heard someone finish in Young Allison's room.

'What the Hell?' Jesse wondered.

She carefully entered Savannah's room and edged towards the pass door to look in. Maybe it was Savannah with Young Alison. It would be Hot to see.

Jesse didn't think it was a big deal to look. She usually left her door open so anyone could see her. She took the 'open door' as an unspoken invitation to watch as her open door was. She didn't think about the fact Savannah's door to the hall was closed. She put one eye around the door frame and looked in. The room was dark.

It was HER with Young Allison! It was Young Jesse and Young Allison. She wondered if Young Jesse made a move on Young Allison while Savannah was out. It wasn't going to go over well. Everyone knew Young Allison 'belonged' to Savannah.

The girls rotated positions.

Wait.

It was a full size 'Allison'. Maybe it was Camille and Young Jesse. It was no big deal. She'd actually watched them many times, and participated too, when she was 'Down Under'. There was plenty of 'down under' when she was 'Down Under'.

She heard someone finish again. It was Allison. She'd made her make the same sounds herself before. She was actually happy Young Jesse was able to do the same. She hoped all the 'lessons' she gave Young Jesse and Camille paid off. It sounded like they did. She smiled and left.

Jesse was behind schedule to see Precious. She hurried out and made her way to the nursery. Samantha opened the door as she approached. It was time to do her job.


Cameron and John watched what happened the night they left. It seemed bad enough. The next day seemed even worse.

Savannah and Young Allison both noticed Cameron's hand began to glitch. Young Allison deferred to Savannah and let her move over and sit down next to Cameron. She took her hand.

Young Allison noticed Cammy was also afflicted. She moved over and took her hand.

Some of the action was intense. Cameron and John asked very few questions. The visual files and com traffic were very explicit.

When they got to the unknown portal, it looked like John was going to be affected too. Anna went over and sat next to him. She was aware it was going to get worse once Young Allison entered the fight. It was about to happen soon.

Young Allison liked how the part about her 'bringing up' a nuke was not included as she'd asked CamNet not to have it be. She figured there'd be enough repercussions about what happened later on at the anti-Metal base.

John and Cameron both asked more questions about the unknown portal. It was clearly a threat to them or wherever one was opened at.

The reoccurring trouble at the old newspaper plant was another source of irritation for everyone. It was decided they would send in the demolition crew.

Cammy pointed out there was the three times a week 'oil train' from Santa Barbara which passed right by the location. It could be backed into the siding at speed. It might derail and flood the building with 'crude'.

Savannah said it wasn't going to happen. Once was enough. She was still worried she'd overdone it at the port facility. She didn't want a crew of railroad workers to get blamed for her actions or anyone else's. They'd blamed the incident on the port on a terrorist group. It seemed to provoke actions of its own. More people died as a result later on. It also put the authorities at risk to take down the terror cell.

John was pleased to see how the girls interacted with others. He'd watched the outcome as several individuals they'd apprehended were dealt with, and others helped. He also liked the nice touch with the nurse. John Henry informed him the nurse never alerted anyone about what happened.

The presentation reached the location with the unknown energy ball.

Savannah looked at Young Allison and then at the rest of the group. The presentation was paused momentarily as she made a statement.

"Allison doesn't want her mother to know about her involvement at this location." Savannah said. "I need everyone to respect it."

John didn't know about it. He wasn't sure what he was about to see.

Cameron did, but she didn't know all of the details.

As the events unfolded, Young Allison reached over and took Cameron's right hand.

"Everything worked out fine." Young Allison said. "I'm fine."

John was spellbound by what he'd watched. He wanted to make sure he understood it all. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as everything unfolded.

"I need to see the last part again." John said.

The image stopped and restarted from when Young Allison made her move down the aisle with a silenced M9 in each hand. It was clear Derek and Kyle were in fix at that point. He was surprised with his mother's involvement at the location as well. It was more extensive than he'd thought.

The briefing continued.


Summer was up after her mother checked on her. She checked out Vanna and her mother for a few minutes and got ready for the day. She was aware of the briefing and would make an appearance at some point. She was responsible for some of what happened.

She listened to everything as it transpired in the Command Center through her com. She also viewed the same images on her tablet. She'd already viewed the presentation several times on her own when CamNet provided it to her. She studied for a few hours and made her way out of her room. She was aware when her appearance would most be needed.


Claire and Vanna finished up. They decided it was time to get up. It was late for both of them at this point. They cleaned up and dressed.

Vanna was going to check on Allison. Claire said she would see about getting some food for everyone ready. She checked on Summer again and saw she was already up. She made her way to the commissary. There was a lot on her mind. Most of it was about Sarah.


Sarah shared with Kyle in the morning. They usually both felt tired then. Today was a little different. She seemed to have a little more 'bounce' than usual. She felt ten years younger. She knew it was because of her sexual adventures with Claire and Young Jesse. She still found it hard to believe she'd been with both of them.

She cleaned up and dressed and made sure Jan was up. She told Jan and Kyle she would get something ready for them in the commissary. Kyle said he would help Jan with her studies.

Sarah headed for the commissary.


Vanna made her way back to her room. Allison wasn't in it. She passed by Jesse's room. The door wasn't closed tight. It looked like Jesse was with Gail. She watched them for a few moments and noticed the nipple rings. It was Sheila and Gail in there. She moved on.

She went to Young Jesse's room. She wondered if Jesse and Young Jesse were in there together. She hoped so. She wanted to be with both of them at the same time.

She opened the door and looked in. The bed was unmade but it was empty. She entered the room and listened at the pass door to Savannah's room. It sounded quiet. She opened the door and looked in Savannah's room. It was dark and looked empty. She was about to close the pass door when she heard someone finish. It sounded like Jesse. Maybe it was Young Jesse. They both made a lot of the same sounds. She found it exciting.

She wondered why they were in Young Allison's room.

Wait.

Young Allison was supposed to arrive today, maybe she came last night. Vanna hurried to the open door and looked in.

She spotted Young Jesse with Young Allison.

Young Allison finished.

Wait.

It was Allison. She'd made her make the same sounds thousands of times.

The girls moved off of each other and lay side by side now.

"Does this get any better?" Young Jesse asked.

The words slipped out of Vanna's mouth.

"It can." Vanna said.

It seemed to catch them off guard.

"I'll say." Jesse chimed in from in back of Vanna.

It surprised all three of them.

Jesse and Vanna kissed and headed for the bed with Young Jesse and Allison. The anticipation and excitement level just went up dramatically.

Young Jesse really liked the availability and selection at the Resistance base. It was always just Camille and her in Australia. She remembered Savannah advice about family. Sacrifice was the true test of love. She loved her family.


Earlier:

Jesse took care of Precious. Riley came in to check on her when she was almost done. She noticed how Riley looked at her. She could almost feel Riley mentally undress her and touch her everywhere. She liked it because Riley still hungered for her.

She opened her robe up a little more when Riley looked away as Samantha left the room.

Riley really wished she could take care of her own baby like a mother should. She should at least be able to nurse her own daughter.

"I wish I could do the same thing." Riley said.

Jesse looked past Riley and didn't see anyone. She decided to have a little fun.

She placed her left hand under her left breast and lifted it slightly.

"You can." Jesse said. "I have one for each of you."

Riley's eyes widened. Was Jesse for real? She wanted to do it so much. She wanted to be with a female again. Maybe Jesse was just playing with her.

"I wish." Riley said.

Riley looked in back of her and laughed a little.

Jesse gave her left breast a few gentle squeezes.

"I'm serious." Jesse said. "Try some."

Riley looked back again and moved over to Jesse.

She lightly moistened her lips.

She bent her head down.

Jesse squeezed her breast a little more and produced some results.

Riley never wanted anything so much, it was until she looked a little lower on Jesse and saw what else was there and waiting. It was clear Jesse was ready for a little more.

"Thank you." Riley said as she moved her head down.

Samantha returned to the room. She made more noise than usual. It was evident she knew what was about to transpire.

Jesse quickly handed Precious to Riley.

"The rest is up to you, love." Jesse said.

Riley looked at Precious and then at Samantha. She looked back at Jesse and her robe was closed. She thanked Jesse.

Jesse she left. She really hoped she hadn't overstepped. She remembered her promise to Cameron. She needed some action now.


Jesse wasn't sure what came over her. She really wanted Riley to try some. She would have liked whatever she would have done. Maybe it was the way she looked at her. There was such hunger and lust projected by her.

She was going to go back to her room. She hoped Gail and Sheila would still be in there. She spotted someone go into Young Jesse's room. She hurried to see who it was. It was Vanna. She waited a few seconds to hear anything. It was silent. She knew what Vanna was going to find two rooms over. She quietly entered and saw where Vanna was at. She silently moved up behind her. After the close encounter with Riley, she was ready to go.

"Does this get any better?" Young Jesse asked.

"It can." Vanna said.

Jesse wanted to make her presence and desires known.

"I'll say." Jesse chimed in from in back of Vanna.

The foursome was ready to go in no time and they did.


Cameron became deeply disturbed with all the encounters which involved the anti-Metal group. She was glad John could hear what they said and how they thought. It was everything she told him.

John was surprised at Cameron's 'field trip' with Bob and some of the Metal girls. He didn't have a clue it happened.

Cameron didn't point out it was when he was with Allison and Vanna…. It helped take her mind off of what happened on the ship and directed her thoughts elsewhere.

As more about the anti-Metal group was revealed, everyone in the room was very tense and upset. They each felt a calming effect. It reduced the stress level. It was all taken away as a hand moved in back of them and touched each one of them.

Everyone in the room felt the atmosphere change.

"This is where I come in." Summer said. "I don't want my mother to know what I did here."

Everyone agreed to her request.

Summer explained any of her actions or decisions. Cameron, like John Henry, was unsure how some of them were made. They were based on more than logic. They were all correct too.

John thought Young Allison killed a lot of people. Now it looked like Summer killed even more. It was hard to believe so much happened while he was away. Cameron was away too most of the time. Everything fell on the backs of Savannah and Cammy with a lot of help from everyone including Young Allison and Summer. The male Terminators were all involved too.

Derek and Kyle's recommendation that all of the bravery should be recognized wasn't lost on him. It just seemed so absurd and out of place because Young Allison and Summer didn't want their mother to know their involvement. He could see why. It was the only thing which seemed to bother the Young sisters. The death and destruction they inflicted and witnessed didn't. It was just part of the job to them.

Cameron often formed tears in her eyes. Savannah and Young Allison comforted her. Since Summer was there, she could feel her 'touch' her inside. It seemed she touched her like only River could.

At this point, Cameron was proud of 'her girls'. She owed Cammy an apology too. She was in the thick of it from start to finish.

They went over the two ambush attacks on Savannah's team and Young Allison scouting mission to the anti-Metal base. Savannah arrived along with the 'special packages'.

It was the second time John was aware Young Allison used nuclear weapons. The first time was in Nevada and the second time was at the anti-Metal base. He didn't know she'd planned to use them to close or destroy the unknown portal. He was even more concerned Summer was on board with the concept on her own. The conversations with John Henry and her were played.

Cameron listened and was very pleased the girls she'd 'trained' were willing to take the fight to the enemy and use whatever force was necessary to win and keep the losses to a minimum on their part. Their losses were zero. The enemy was hit hard with all the groups they fought.

John would need some time to process everything. He would need to watch all of the events several more times. He wanted Derek, Kyle and Sarah to be there. Riley should come too. He wanted Vanna, Allison, Jesse and Young Jesse to see it too. He was informed there would be an 'edited' version available for Claire as well.


CamNet's male Terminator continued his pursuit of the fleeing vehicle. One drone stayed over the top of it. One drone searched around him. Two drones continued to patrol around the burning building.

The building had completely collapsed and was nearly burnt out. The drones needed to retreat to a higher altitude as the day brightened. They scanned the flaming wreckage for any signs of obvious Skynet related items. Nothing was detected. It didn't mean there wasn't something there still. The demolition crew would be sent in at a later date. A Terminator would be on the crew. They would make sure anything Skynet related was appropriately dealt with.

The car with the two surviving attackers made an evasive move occasionally. It appeared as if they checked for a tail. They didn't know the tail was above them at fifty thousand feet. They actually drove by several of the locations the female Fanatic took down previously. It raised a few questions. Were they part of the same group? Were they part of the group which had been attacked? Were they another group looking to attack the buildings themselves?

The vehicle also drove by another location several times. It did it from the front and from the rear. The location hadn't been attacked by anyone. At first it was thought it was where the two men were about to go. Their actions seemed to indicate it was probably their next target.

They eventually parked two blocks away to the rear of the building. They sat there for a short period of time. It was unclear if they were going to return to the location on foot from the rear, or if they were going to move on. Based upon the earlier drone images at the previous location, it appeared most of the attacking force was wiped out. It was unclear what the two individuals were going to do since it was now daylight. It was still early.

They eventually drove closer to the rear of the location. They stopped at the building directly behind the building they'd cased earlier. Both of the men got out of the vehicle. Neither one of them visibly carried any weapons. They did carry a couple of backpacks with them.

As they approached the location, a dog on the other side of the property to the west ran up to the front of the gate and started barking. One of the men reached into a backpack and tossed something over the fence. The dog immediately ran over to it and sniffed it. It quickly ate it. Almost immediately it began to stagger and fell over onto its side. Its legs were moving as if it was trying to run for a few seconds but it couldn't since it was sideways on the ground. It eventually lowered its head and stopped moving.

The Terminator in pursuit of them closed up to a few blocks away from where they currently were. He was situated so he could move in three different directions or retreat the way he'd come in a matter of seconds.

The two men went over the fence. They tried several of the doors and windows on the building in back of the target building. They all appeared to be secure. They moved up to the rear fence and looked over.

The drone image zoomed in on the two men. As soon as they looked over the rear of the fence, there was a crimson halo around one man's head. His body dropped to the ground. The man next to him looked over at him in disbelief. He quickly ducked down as there was a puff of cement dust as a bullet just missed him. He could hear it ricochet. It was clear there was a sniper waiting for them. He wondered if there was a surveillance camera they missed or if it was the dog barking.

The man who survived the sniping attack was below the level of the wall. He thought about his options. He wasn't sure where the sniper was at. So far he hadn't heard any sound. It was clear the sniper was using some type of suppressed firearm. More than likely if he went back out the way they'd entered the sniper would already have him zeroed.

He moved low along the rear wall to the property on the west. It was the one with the dog. He figured the sniper would anticipate if he made a move, it would be to the east side, not the side with the dog. It was doubtful the sniper knew the dog was drugged. They hadn't used poison because they wanted the dog to recover after they'd left. They didn't want anyone asking questions or looking around. They'd planned to leave some surveillance gear.

The drone over the Terminator moved into a wider orbit to view what else was happening around the target building. The drone over the attacker would also check around the Terminator as well.

The attacker went over the wall. There was no shot. He doubted he'd made it unobserved. It was just probably on the opposite side the sniper expected to find a target. He knew he needed to get moving and get away from the location before they sent out others to trap him.

The drone over the target location spotted two men move out of the front of it. They moved to either side of the driveway. A few seconds later a roll up door on the rear of the building opened and a car drove out. It quickly drove alongside the building and the two men on either side of the driveway got into it. It made a right hand turn and started toward the next side street. It was clear they were going after the new arrival.

The attacker started towards the front of the building. He was a little surprised to see the dog was on its feet. It looked a little unstable. It looked in his direction. Almost immediately it started to run towards him. It almost fell but regained its balance. He headed for the other side of the building. He heard a bullet ricochet behind him. Clearly the sniper knew where he was at. He made it around to the far side of the building. He looked back as he did. The corner of the building near his head chipped away as the bullet just missed his head. He was hit with small pieces of cement shrapnel. Maybe some of them were bullet fragments as well. He figured it was better than a bullet.

He could hear the dog closing on him. It didn't bark. There was a low vicious growl it made. It clearly was going to attack him when it caught him. The bark earlier was the warning. It was already given when they'd arrived. Now it was time for the bite.

He was out of the view of the sniper. He heard a car from the area of the target building. He figured he didn't have very long before they were around onto the street where his car was parked. He was glad they hadn't walked in from where they'd been parked at earlier.

The man was almost to the fence. He looked back and saw the dog was right there. He made a jump for the gate. He started to pull himself over. He felt something grab his foot. It almost pulled him off of the top of the gate. He hung on and tried to pull himself over. He could feel his foot moving back and forth violently as the dog held on as it shook his head. He tried to kick it with his other foot. He scored a blow and the dog let go. He went to continue his climb over the fence. All of a sudden he felt his other foot go through the same treatment as the first one had.

He continued just climb over the fence. He could feel the dog still had his other foot. He dropped over to the other side. He expected to see the dog there with him. It wasn't. It was still on the other side of the gate. He could hear it barking now. It was clearly upset he'd gotten away.

The attacker knew there would probably be a car around the corner at any second. He needed to get to his vehicle and get away.


Lena and Tina continued their drive. They were both very displeased. They turned their attention to the incident associated with the white van. The two survivors of the attack had gone to several of the locations the female Fanatic destroyed. They ended up at another location. It was a location they were unaware of. It appeared the men were going to set up surveillance.

"It looks like we're going to have another target when we're done here." Lena said.

Tina wanted to get things wrapped up where they were.

"The sooner the better works for me." Tina said

They continue to go over the drone images. When the train passed by, the drone made a low pass over the structure. They hoped to determine if there were any rail cars inside or not. They were able to determine there were two trucks parked inside with several vehicles.

"We're still two trucks short." Lena said. "We need to find out what happened to them."

Tina thought they would need to get on the ground and terminate the female Fanatic and most of the men. They should be able to make one or more of them tell them where the other location was at.

"As soon as we get there, I'm going in." Tina said.

CamNet instructed both of them to use caution once they arrived. They were still out a number of miles. She decided to commit more drones to the search.

One of the drones passed over the bodies of the two men the female Fanatic and her associate terminated as well as the three men Lena and Tina terminated. All of them had been scavenged by animals. Most of them were missing at least one arm and had been heavily mauled.

So far no one else had shown up at the mine or seemed to pay any interest to the location.

Lena and Tina continued their journey.


The female Fanatic went to work reprogramming the HK Track as Jill kept watch.

Jill was very worried they would be discovered. There were a few times when she thought she heard something. She expected the men to be up anytime soon. She would have liked to have been able take a look at the men in the sleeping quarters.

She wondered what they would have found if they'd looked in the sleeping quarters. Would there be another female tied to a bunk? What if there was more than one? Maybe there weren't any. She still wanted vengeance. It was best not to think about it. She watched Jackie work.

The female Fanatic was able to get everything situated. She took two of the transponders she carried and entered a second transponder code into them and the HK Track. The HK Track should recognize their transponder code and not the code the Gray's carried. She made sure the HK Track was activated. She quickly reinstalled the access covers so no one could easily detect and reverse anything she'd done to it.

"Let's go." The female Fanatic said.

They still spoke in hushed tones.

Jill wondered what would happen next.

"Are we going to leave?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic wasn't ready to leave yet. She wanted to draw the men out into the work area.

"I want to try to kill everyone in here before we leave." The female Fanatic said. "There's a good chance one or both of us won't make it. You can still leave now if you want. You know where the vehicle is and you have money."

The female Fanatic started to reach into the pocket where she had an additional wad of cash.

Jill saw what she was about to do. She stopped her.

"No." Jill said. "We're in this together. I'm here for you until the end. If I get wounded or incapacitated, I'll be captured. I know what they'll do to me before I die. If I am incapacitated, I want you to kill me. I don't want them to get me. "

The female Fanatic was pleased to hear Jill's commitment.

"We serve each other as we serve SkyMaster." The female Fanatic said. "Our sacrifice will not be in vain. My only regret will be we haven't been able to share yet."

The female Fanatic wanted to offer Jill comforting thoughts. She would share with Jill if the opportunity arose. She wanted to show Jill she still had value. It was more than just to SkyMaster or her. It was to herself.

Jill didn't know much about SkyMaster. She did know about Jackie. She reached out and touched her cheek.

"It will be my only regret as well." Jill said. "We're going to get out of here. When we do, we will share."

The female Fanatic moved back through the rows of crates. There were several which she noticed earlier. Since the HK Track would now be on their team, she wanted to set a few surprises. She looked over the area she wanted to become the killing field. She took the satchel charge Jill carried and placed it between the drums. She set the timer for seven minutes.

Jill noticed the time. She wondered if it's how long she had to live.

The female Fanatic moved across the workroom floor. She took out a lighter she'd taken from one of the men who was killed in the mine. She started a fire. She moved some oily rags into it. The blaze immediately began to smoke and burn. There was a can of solvent on a bench nearby. She saw the bench was made out of wood. She dumped the solvent out onto the wood and ran a trail of it over to where the fire was burning.

There was a loud 'whoosh' sound as the solvent ignited. The entire bench was on fire. There were other cans on top of it. She wasn't sure what was in them

She wanted to go back to the area where the trucks were located.

"Let's move." The female Fanatic said.

Jill could feel her heart pounding. She knew there was already one bomb placed next to some type of chemicals. She knew the HK Track was ready to go on a killing spree. The interior of the building was now on fire.

"How are you going to get them to come out?" Jill asked.

The female Fanatic already planned what she would do next. She moved over to the wall on the other side of where the vehicles were parked and pulled a lever. It was a fire alarm. Immediately an alarm began to blare an alternating tone.

"I think the fire alarm will do it for us." The female Fanatic said. "I want them to come out unarmed or minimally armed if possible. They should try to stop the fire."

The female Fanatic didn't want to give away their presence until some of the events began to play out. The door from the hall opened and men began to come out.


I Know I Will Be

Not on all things
Will everyone condone and agree
Sometimes two must compromise
They may agree to disagree

Questions are always raised
When one will inquire
The truth should always suffice
There is no need for the third degree

Some things must be taken seriously
They can't always be care free
Events can change in an instant
They are impossible to always foresee

Look for the happiness|
Share a little fellowship and esprit
Avoid the unnecessary problems
Be ready with an honest apology

Look forward instead of backward
Accept the joy and jubilee
Move towards the future
I know I will be

Nobody
