Chapter 1487
Can I Keep This
Young Jesse turned the Mitchell around and was already cleared for a landing. It was a short flight. They were headed towards Castle Airport. It was formerly Castle Air Force Base.
Young Jesse stayed over the railroad tracks and they flew off to the west side of Castle Air Museum.
Young Allison went over and looked out Camille's side window.
"Look at all those Warbirds." Young Allison said.
Savannah thought about looking from the top turret, but thought the wing may be in the way to look down off to the side. She took Young Allison's place when she moved for her.
It was an impressive sight.
Young Jesse entered the landing pattern. She landed about two thirds of the way down the length of the runway. She wouldn't need to taxi as far.
Savannah could see it was a very long runway. It was over two miles long. It was now the longest commercial runway in California.
"It's a very lengthy runway." Savannah said.
Young Allison knew at one time strategic bombers were based there.
"We're in a B-25, not a B-36." Young Allison said. "We don't need much of it at all, especially on take off."
Savannah saw there was a B-36 Peacemaker parked down among the Warbirds. It packed the longest wingspan of any of the planes down there by far.
Camille glanced back and noticed what Savannah looked at. It was the B-36.
"The B-36 has a greater wingspan than a B-52 Stratofortress, 747 Jumbo Jet, or a C-5 Galaxy." Camille said. "There are only a handful of planes which exceed it. Most of those are one of a kind. There we're multiple squadrons of B-36 bombers."
Young Jesse took in the size of the B-36 as they overflew the airport before they'd landed.
"I think the rear stabilizer is larger than our wingspan right now." Young Jesse said. "I think we could park under half of the wing."
Young Allison noticed the six piston engines as well as the four jet engines on the wings. She was familiar with aircraft maintenance. It wasn't all fun and games.
"I bet there were a lot of spark plugs to change." Young Allison said.
Camille made a quick calculation based upon the engines.
"There were three hundred and thirty six spark plugs which needed to be changed on each aircraft." Camille said. "The task was often required on the six R4360 piston engines. Each engine packed four thousand, three hundred and sixty cubic inches. There were four jet engines as well."
Savannah I could see why they needed such a long Runway. She thought it must have been an impressive view to watch one of those planes, or a whole squadron of them, take off.
"It must have been a sight to see it lift off with 'six turning and four burning'." Savannah said.
Young Allison quickly checked her phone. It didn't look like there would be any flying examples when they returned to the past. It appeared like most of them would be scrapped by 1963 when they went back. Strangely enough, it showed there was one in some guy's backyard in Ohio. It was in sections. She looked at the location further. There were a multitude of Warbirds there on the farm in Ohio. A lot of them were rare too. She also saw a list of movies pop up on YouTube which featured the B-36.
"There are a few movies with some good shots in them." Young Allison said. "It will have to do."
Young Jesse taxied the plane to a prearranged spot set up by CamNet and the girls all got out.
They did a 'once around' the B-25 and secured the hatches. They headed for the nearby museum. With a multi-million dollar 'contribution' earlier in the day, they would be given interior access to all of the aircraft at the museum, if they wanted to see inside of them. The 'Cyndi Kate' foundation was very philanthropic at times. The Syndicate and Cartels both still thought the other one stole their money and the fighting continued amongst them. Dozens of their 'soldiers' died each week. Sometimes it was in the hundreds world wide. It appeared the greed of criminals knew no bounds.
John, Jesse and Claire finished up with the love making. They all headed for the shower.
Claire really wished she wasn't pregnant with Allison's baby right now. She wanted John to give her one more child of her own before she had one for Cameron and John. With one more on the way now, and two more planned, it would be six total from her body. She wondered at what point it would become evident to her figure. She worried about all of the stretching which would happen both internally and externally. It needed to have some type of impact.
John opened the shower door and turned the water on. It looked like close quarters for three people.
"Maybe I'll let you two go first." John said. "It's pretty crowded in there."
Jesse and Claire pulled him in anyway.
"It's a long way from what it was like on the ship." Claire said.
Jesse would have liked to have stayed a little longer. Duty called. It was still a wonderful experience.
"I had a really great time on it." Jesse said.
John didn't think Jesse or Claire were with the girls from the ship. Maybe he'd better not ask. It was nice just to be on the ship to get away from it all for a time. Everything about the suites was fantastic.
"Those showers and hot tubs in the rooms were nice." John said.
John thought about suggesting one of the empty rooms be converted into a communal 'bath house'. They could install a hot tub and a large shower. He imagined there could be a few 'hookups' involved with it over time as people wandered in and out of it. The girls were naked in the hall where their rooms were enough as it was. There was seldom a closed door either. He saw it as an 'open door', meant 'open legs'…. He hoped Cameron would allow what she said and he could partake in a little more of any opportunity and availability.
Claire splashed some water playfully on John. She wanted him to pay attention to them.
"Are you still with us?" Claire asked.
Jesse hoped John would fondle them in the shower. He didn't. It showed a certain amount of respect. She would like the playfulness too. She felt she knew where John's mind was actually at.
"He was probably thinking of his next sexual conquests." Jesse said.
It seemed like a 'free for all' to Claire at this point. It was an extremely stimulating thought.
"I don't think anyone needs to be conquered." Claire said. "Every female's bedroom has an 'open' sign on it for him."
Jesse knew she was 'open' for John anytime.
"I know mine does." Jesse said.
John wondered how long it would be until one of them got pregnant besides Young Jesse. He didn't know Claire carried Allison's baby, Savannah carried Vanna's baby, and Jesse was now pregnant as well. He really worried Cameron would try to take one of the babies for herself if they did get pregnant.
They finished up in the shower and playfully dried each other off.
John admired both of their beauty. He was used to seeing Jesse naked. Her scar was 'invisible' to him. It was just part of her. The same applied to Vanna. The scars were there but he just didn't 'see' them.
Claire and Jesse didn't have a whole lot to put on. They dressed each other with a lot of laughs.
John dressed too. He figured he'd better check on operations. He really hadn't got back into the swing of things. He felt like a slacker. He looked down and felt doubly so.
Jesse and Claire were about to depart.
Claire hung back for a second and faced John. She would rather have him share with her, than 'visit' Young Allison or Summer. Allison could do what she wanted.
"I don't want to seem like 'Mrs. Robinson', but I would rather you share with me than them." Claire said. "I think you know what I mean. There's as much here with me as you want…."
John wasn't sure if Claire knew how Cameron operated. He wanted to give her what reassurance he could. He didn't think it was going to be much.
"I think Cameron will be the one who decides who ends up where and when." John said. "I won't pursue them on my own, but they may end up here by their own choice. I won't reject them if they do. It would devastate them to be rejected."
Claire thought about it. They would at least have a good experience. John was very respectful and he delivered. It would be great on their first experience, unlike hers and all the other ones which followed until now.
"Fair enough, but there's plenty elsewhere until then." Claire said. "It starts right here with me."
He went to the door and watched Jesse and Claire head for Claire's room. Jesse turned back and blew him a kiss. It was a lot for him to contemplate.
'Did all of that just really happen?' John wondered.
It all seemed so real.
John pinched himself.
"Ouch!" John said.
It did.
Cam pulled up to the other local hospital.
"How are they?" Cam asked as she looked back.
Cammy thought the three they took from the 'florist shop' were OK. They'd only been drugged. They all seemed to be coming around. It was the one who was in the van which worried her. It looked like she'd been worked over pretty well.
"The last one we picked up isn't good." Cammy said. "She was beaten."
Laura pulled up in Mary's car alongside of them.
"Are you ready?" Laura asked.
Cammy was glad to see Laura was there. She was worried about one of the girls.
"We might have a problem." Cammy said. "The last girl is hurt."
Cam got out of the van and put her vest in the back seat of Mary's car.
"Move over by the emergency room entrance. Go down about ten spots." Cam said as she pointed. "I'm going to take her inside."
It sounded like a problem to Laura.
"Will they ask questions?" Laura asked.
Cam quickly communicated with CamNet.
"I won't be in there long." Cam said. "The doors are automatic."
Laura wasn't sure what she meant.
It meant CamNet could prevent them from opening. The delay before they were manually opened would allow Cam time to get away if it was an issue.
Cam ran over to the drop off area and snagged a wheelchair. She hurried back with it.
Cammy set the injured girl in it and covered her with a soiled blanket from the back of the van.
Cam took off with her. Cammy checked the girls in the van one last time and left the side door open. She got in the front seat with Laura.
Laura moved the car to where Cam indicated. She looked over towards the emergency room entrance. She was surprised as the rear door opened and Cam got in the back. It was fast. She must have come out of a side entrance.
"Let's go." Cam said.
Laura expected to hear a destination. There wasn't one.
"Where do you want me to go?" Laura asked.
Cam wanted to do a visual inspection of the other medical facility.
"Let's drive by the other hospital and see if the van is empty and if there are any police around." Cam said. "None of the girls there sought medical help. No police reports were made either."
Laura wanted to ask how there were two of 'Barbara', and they knew all of the information, but she'd already seen them before. Now didn't seem like a good time for questions. Both of them were armed.
"How do I address you?" Laura asked.
Cam and Cammy both looked at her.
"As 'Barbara'…." They both said at the same time.
There was no further explanation.
Laura almost laughed but didn't. If they hadn't just let off an injured girl at the hospital, she probably would have. She knew there was still a lot in play.
"O - K." Laura said slowly.
Laura saw their pistols were fitted with silencers too. It was all like Leticia said it would be. It was just like all of the spies and secret agents in the movies. Everything else associated with them seemed to be as well.
Sheila handed Leticia the knife.
"You can do what you want to them." Sheila said. "I heard what the one punk said to you. You can do the same to him. I mean it literally."
Leticia looked at the knife, the men, Mary, and back at 'Sue'. It was what she wanted to do, but since she now could, it was different.
"I don't know." Leticia said.
Mary took the knife from Leticia. She didn't like the mouthy Bitch who'd threatened her and said what she was going to do to her.
"I do." Mary asked. "Where's the Bitch at who stuck a gun in my back?"
Ally showed the girls out of the room. Sheila hung back. She closed the door in the room Sheila was in with the two men. She showed Mary and Leticia into the next room.
Mary and Leticia looked back. They saw 'Sue' remained behind.
"What's going to happen in there?" Leticia asked.
Ally knew it was 'cut and dried' for operations like this. There'd be no survivors.
"Just what you think will." Ally said. "Justice for the females abused here will be served."
There were some screams out of the room they'd just left.
Mary looked back again.
Leticia cringed a little.
Ally showed them the two complacent females who were now secured to the beds.
"Here are the females who were enablers. They instructed as part of the 'training'." Ally said. "They're as guilty as the men were. They also abused the females when they were drugged."
Mary looked at the two females. They were alive but in bad shape. They both suffered from massive internal injuries. She looked at the knife she held.
Leticia touched her cheek.
"She said I was going to be called 'Scarface'." Leticia said.
Mary thought about what the enabler said was going to happen to her. What she was going to do to her. She would be punished for standing up for herself.
"She told me what she did to females like me." Mary said.
Ally wanted them to know it would happen too. She indicated a small jar with some things in it.
"It's the way they keep the other recruits compliant." Ally said. "When they see it done to someone else, they know it can happen to them just as easily."
Leticia looked over.
"Can I keep this?" Leticia asked.
Ally didn't see why not.
"They won't need it anymore." Ally said.
Mary looked at the two tied down females now. She felt a lot of contempt for them.
"They don't look so tough now, do they?" Mary asked.
Mary went over and slapped the face of the female who stuck the gun in her back.
The female tried to talk. Only more blood came out of her mouth.
Ally went out of the room and closed the door.
Mary and Leticia heard more muted screams which faded to a gurgling noise from the room with the men in them next door.
"Let's see who gets called 'Scarface' now, Bitch." Mary said.
Mary approached the female with the knife. She wanted revenge. She wanted justice.
The slowly dying female's eyes widened in fear as she realized what she'd done to others, was about to happen to her.
Gail and Hanna arrived at the florist shop in the sedan they'd taken from there originally. There were five dead men in it. Gail backed it up to the missing rear door.
Ally came out and helped them move the bodies inside.
Sheila walked out into the hall.
"They certainly won't be abusing any females again." Sheila said.
They were going to torch the building when they left. They needed to get moving.
Gail looked around. She didn't spot Mary and Laura.
"Where are the girls?" Gail asked.
Ally indicated a room near the end of the hall.
"They're in the end room with the two female thugs." Ally said. "I left them with a knife."
Hanna and Gail looked at each other.
"It is doubtful they'll use the knife." Hanna said. "It's not normal human behavior."
Sheila was offended by the statement.
"It's how I roll." Sheila said.
Gail felt Sheila missed the point.
"You're not human." Gail said.
Sheila didn't think her behavior was an aberration.
"I picked the trait up from your lover." Sheila said.
Gail was offended by what Sheila said. She decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Jesse is reformed." Gail said and started to leave. "I'll snap their necks myself."
Ally stopped her. She was curious as to the girl's sense of justice.
"I want to see what they'll do." Ally said.
Hanna wasn't so sure it was something to cultivate.
"Deviant behavior shouldn't be encouraged." Hanna said.
Sheila was further offended.
"Payback isn't deviant behavior." Sheila said. "It's justice."
Gail thought of the two men in the house they'd burnt down.
"She's correct. Payback is justified when females are abused." Gail said. "They may continue."
Sheila was pleased to see they saw it her way.
"Now you're talking, sister." Sheila said.
Hanna didn't like the involvement of the unknown sedan earlier.
"I don't think they'll do it." Hanna said. "We need to go."
Gail was sure there would be a further incident.
"This place is compromised by a rival gang of some type." Gail said. "It's where three of these stiffs came from."
Sheila received all of the com traffic.
"We got the message." Sheila said.
Hanna hoped to give any interlopers a 'warm welcome'.
"Let's use the flower pots as containers and puncture the fuel tank for some gasoline to spread around here." Hanna said. "I want to go."
Ally figured since she'd left Mary and Laura in the room, she should be the one to collect them.
"You two get started." Ally said. "I'll get the girls."
They heard a scream from down the hall. It was followed by another one a few seconds later and then another one.
Sheila and Ally looked at each other.
They saw Gail and Hanna carry in containers of gasoline to dump around the place.
"Let's go see what the girls did." Ally said.
Sheila would be surprised if they'd acted.
"I really don't know." Sheila said.
They opened the door and looked inside.
Mary and Leticia were very ashen looking.
"I'll take care of this." Sheila said. "We need to clear out."
Kyle was aware there were more players in the game as he pulled up a block away from the flower shop in the SUV.
"Keep your eyes peeled." Derek said.
Jim was on top of all of the information.
"Drone images didn't indicate any activity." Jim said.
Kyle was aware of the activity with Bob's team. It was clear there was more than one group of players.
"Maybe the second car was from the other group." Kyle said.
Derek was aware of the tip of an iceberg when he spotted one.
"Now we really need to keep our eyes peeled." Derek said. "We've taken out two cars with their 'soldiers'. You can bet they have more."
Allison pulled up a block and a half away on the other side of the florist shop.
Holly filled them in on the details of Jim's team and what they'd just discussed.
Vanna looked around them.
"It sounds real promising." Vanna said.
Holly wanted to give them some reassurance.
"CamNet will watch over us." Holly said.
Allison knew Summer would.
"I'm sure she will." Allison said. "We need to know about anything which even looks like a threat, before it becomes a threat. All the teams do."
Summer was on top of all the operations now. She'd arranged for multiple drones for every team. She planned to hit hard if she needed to. It didn't matter if it was still daylight. There were a few ways around it.
'We hit any threat hard.' Summer typed.
'How hard is hard?' CamNet typed.
'It's hard enough to win decisively, and send a message.' Summer typed.
She noticed Jesse and her mother were out of John's room and headed back to her mother's room. They would most likely pass by the Command Center.
John Henry got up and closed the door and locked it. He sat back down without saying a word.
Summer looked at him and nodded. She wondered if he did it on his own, or if CamNet 'influenced' him. He was still plugged in.
She wondered how long it would be until John was out. She was aware everyone was busy. The check in with Samantha and Riley indicated something was going down. It would most likely be both of them….
She hoped the Metal girls put some hustle in the operation and cleared out.
The drone over the machine shop and welding shop indicated the box truck was about to leave. She would need to pull one drone to follow the truck.
John still hadn't exited his room yet.
She was on the lookout for any additional action.
Summer contacted the wrecking yard which disposed of the cars for the Grays and sent them to get the van and sedan which Bob and Holly moved off to the side in the alley. CamNet made sure they were well paid and the vehicles were to head straight to the crusher.
The house where the future Gray was at was burnt to the ground. The first emergency vehicle wouldn't arrive for a while.
The janitorial front was about to collapse in on itself. There were still no emergency units on scene. CamNet directed them to call's elsewhere.
The Metal girls were about ready to pull out and torch the florist shop.
She still needed to worry about the other group which became involved with the operation.
Bob and Jim sent information to CamNet on the phones they'd collected.
As soon as a location was identified, it would receive a 'gravity missile' dropped on top of it.
Samantha placed Riley on the bed and carefully climbed in on top of her. They kissed more and touched each other.
Riley motioned for Samantha to lie on her back. She started with kisses on her forehead and started to work her way down. She made sure to cover every inch of her sheath. She made it to the bottom of one leg and foot. She started back up on the other one. She soon reached where she wanted to be.
She thought it might not be as exciting for her to 'see' Samantha since she's already 'seen' Claire. Somehow it was more exciting to see everything was the same. She started slowly and stayed the same way. Once Samantha made it, they switched places.
Samantha did everything to Riley the same way she'd done to her.
It pleased Riley greatly. She made it the first time when Samantha attempted to stimulate production. Samantha moved down one leg and back up the other one.
Riley was filled with anticipation with what was about to happen. She'd only been with a Metal girl once. She knew what to expect. It was even better than she remembered. Maybe it was the love Samantha was able to put behind it. It was awesome. She soon lost track of the finishes.
Nothing else in the world mattered right now to her.
Life was good in Paradise.
Jan worked with Sarah and showed her the things Claire and Summer taught her.
Sarah tried to learn some things before but didn't remember much. She was surprised to see Claire and Jesse at the door now.
"Keep going." Claire said. "You have the basics."
Sarah felt a little self conscious about several things. The first one was the music. The other two were Claire and Jesse. She'd been with both of them. It was beautiful.
"Stay with it, Mom." Jan said.
Sarah wanted to stay with it, with Claire and Jesse. She needed to concentrate. She refocused.
Claire came over. She wanted to help. Music was a passion of hers. She wanted everyone to find beauty in it as she did.
Sarah found it hard to concentrate with Jesse and Claire both there. Sexuality radiated off of them. She didn't know they both contained John's essence. She might find out soon enough….
CamNet informed her Terminator, there was a dark sedan approaching the location. The drone currently had it targeted for a missile strike. It was unknown if it was the escort the other men waited for, or what the escort was supposed to protect them from. He was instructed to destroy the narcotics before he left.
He'd already moved all the bodies off to the side so they weren't in plain sight. He'd shorten the fuse on one of the Thermite grenades so it would explode a fraction of a second after the spoon was released. The pin was already pulled out of it. He placed it underneath the first row of narcotics. He placed it so one package was on top of the others. It was the one someone would be most likely to pick up if they were to look at the load.
He watched the drone footage as the dark sedan drove once around the block in each direction. The drone was at an angle so I could view the driver's side of the vehicle each time. The dark windows prevented them from being able to tell how many occupants were in the vehicle and exactly where they looked.
CamNet was unable to pick up any transmissions going to or from the vehicle.
The vehicle appeared it was going to go around to the back.
He moved to the roll up door and unlatched it. It was electronically actuated. There wasn't a chain necessary to raise and lower it.
He hit the 'open' button and moved away from the rear of the building. He moved back up towards the door which led down the hallway to the front.
He watched as the sedan pulled in. The ignition was turned. He heard three car doors open.
"Where is everyone?" The first man asked.
"I don't see anyone." The second man said.
"The van is still here." The third man said.
"Someone left the door open." The first man said. "I don't like it."
"Maybe they ran out on us." The second man said.
"Vinnie, go take a look around." The first man said. "Joey, check the van. I'm going to call this in."
CamNet's Terminator could hear one man looking around the area. It wasn't the side where the bodies were at.
He was able to look around the side of a storage cabinet and see the other two men at the rear of the van. One man moved back towards the sedan with his phone in his hand. The other man opened the rear doors.
"The van is fully loaded." The second man said. "It looks like all the goods are here."
The first man looked up from his phone.
"Bring a packet here so I can inspect it." The first man said. "Did you find anything, Vinnie?"
The third man did find something. He found blood trails on the ground. He was just about to open his mouth to tell the leader. Instead, a 'third eye' blossomed in his forehead. Even before his body could fall to the ground, there was an explosion at the rear of the van.
The second man lifted the packet of drugs on top of the rest of them. It triggered the Thermite grenade. Not only was he showered with burning Thermite, so was the load of narcotics. The air was filled with the narcotic's dust.
The second man screamed as he caught fire from the burning Thermite. He tried to wipe it off of his clothes and face but couldn't. It was already burning through the flesh. He screamed as he ran around like a human torch.
The first man had his phone up to the side of his head when the explosion occurred. What he saw caused him to drop it. He staggered backwards a few feet when he saw the one man he'd arrived with less than a minute ago on fire. He thought it was the man's screams which bothered him more than the fact he was running around burning. There was a thick cloud of dust in the air. It reached him almost instantly. He began to choke and gag. He realized it was the drugs.
The rest of the load was burning. Holes immediately began to burn through the sheet metal of the van from the Thermite. They would reach the fuel tank very soon.
The first man watched as the second man fell to the ground. He still continued to scream and thrash around. There was no sign of the other man anywhere. He quickly got back into the car as he choked and gagged on the drugs. He started the car and attempted to back up. The effects of the drugs started to take its toll. He slammed into the rear wall of the building instead of going out the door. He put the car back into 'drive' so he could attempt to do it again.
He pulled forward and ran over the screaming man on the ground. When he realized what he'd done, he went to hit the brake. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator as hard as he could. He thought it was the brake. The car shot forward. It hit the side of the van and 'caromed' back in towards the interior. The car knocked everything out of its way until it reached the firewall between the workroom floor and the office area. He ran over the body of the second man before he impacted the firewall. He saw a figure off to the side. Something was tossed in his direction.
The first man opened the door of the wrecked vehicle and saw the third man behind the vehicle. It was clear he'd run over him. He looked at what the other man threw. There was a cylindrical canister on the ground in front of him. His vision was blurred and he couldn't breathe. The last thing he saw was a blinding flash.
The Terminator watched the wild ride of the vehicle through the interior of the building. When he saw it impact up against the firewall, he tossed the other Thermite grenade next to it. He was a little surprised when the first man got out of it. He was standing right above it when it exploded. It was clear the building was going to burn. The fire towards the rear of it already spread.
He made his way towards the rear of the building. He pushed the button to close the roll up door and exited out into the rear as it went down. He knew there would be no emergency response. He was given a new location based upon the number the man called before he'd dropped his phone. No sooner was the door down, when he heard one of the fuel tanks explode. He wasn't sure which one it was. It didn't really matter, the second one exploded less than a second later.
CamNet's Terminator received information on a new location. He took one look back at the burning building as he moved away from it.
The Gray thought he'd spotted a car behind him from time to time. He was up on another rise in the landscape right now. He looked back when he reached the crest. There was no one on the road behind him.
He was a little startled as a big rig came up the crest in front of him. He could see the truck was working hard. It passed by him. By the load it carried, he figured it was headed for one of the crossroad junctions. It might even be both of them.
He looked towards the front. He could see there was a long downhill descent.
The Gray planned to reach his destination before it was dark. It looked like it was smooth sailing. He was glad he'd left the bikers behind him.
The two female Terminators watched as the main group of bikers picked up their pace. They rapidly closed in on the female Fanatic. The other two bikers were headed in their direction. They would make contact within a relatively short amount of time. They quickly devised the plan on how to best take them down.
They looked at the drone footage around them. They found the perfect place they wanted. They actually just passed it a minute ago. They turned around and went back. The two bikers weren't close enough to them to be able to see what they'd done. They were in one of the dips on the undulated landscape.
They were headed in the opposite direction they'd been going a short time ago. They didn't want the bikers to recognize their vehicle before they rode up to it.
Lena and Tina were in place at the location they wanted to be. They could soon hear the bikers in the distance approach. The drone footage indicated they were still only two of them.
The female Fanatic had her weapons ready. She checked everything again. The Gray was now out of sight in front of them. The bikers behind them weren't. They continued to grow closer and closer.
Jill was worried. Her dream was fresh in her mind. She just knew things were going to go badly for them. She could see them in the rear view mirror. It was bad enough. Now she could hear them as well.
"I don't like the way things are going." Jill said.
The female Fanatic felt a sense of dread as well. She didn't know the bikers were agitated because six of their group hadn't returned. She didn't know they'd sent two others to look for them. She didn't know there were two Terminators following all of them.
"I've got a bad feeling too." The female Fanatic said. "I felt it in combat before too. Bad things always happened when I did."
The female Fanatic couldn't see the Gray in front of them at all. It was what she wanted. In the distance she could see a hill. She saw a glint of light at the top of it. She figured it was probably the Gray. A fraction of a second later she saw another glint of light on the other side of the road coming towards them. It looked like a big rig.
She debated whether she wanted to use the LAW rocket first or drop the grenades down onto the road. She checked over all of her munitions. Everything was ready to go. Her assault rifle still sat on her lap. There was a second one on the floorboard ready to go as well. She had spare magazines for both of them. She didn't know how many bikers she'd be able to take in the initial barrage.
Jill spent half of her time looking in front of her, and half of it looking in the rear view mirror.
"There's a big truck coming towards us." Jill said.
The female fanatic glanced forward. She started to turn back towards the bikers when she turned around and looked again. She could see what the big rig was. She put the assault rifle down and picked up the LAW rocket. The bikers were only a few hundred feet behind.
"Step on the gas and floor it." The female Fanatic said. "Make sure your side window is up. I'm going to fire the LAW rocket."
Jill wasn't sure what was going on. She could see the bikers behind them, and the big truck coming towards them.
The female Fanatic could see firearms on some of the bikers. It was clear they were going to try to stop them. She intended to act first.

Earlier:
It was hard for Cameron not to terminate the low lifes she'd encountered in the shady part of town. She knew they weren't just confined to the shady part of town either. She continued on towards the hotel.
So far her night hadn't been too much different than when she went out on one of her 'off the books' operations with Sheila and Ally. Most of those were directed at the sex and drug trade. The end result was a little more terminal for the perpetrators. Crimes against females weren't tolerated by her, or any of the Metal girls. She tried to keep the human girls away from it as much as possible. They didn't need to be around unnecessary bloodshed. They didn't need to watch Sheila's savagery, even if they knew about it.
After she'd pulled the Parabellum on the two hoods in the alley, she hadn't encountered anything else but a few drunks, two alley cats, and a stray dog. None of the animals acted adversely to her with her new pheromones. Originally she'd developed a predator pheromone with Vanna. It sent all the animals off in fear. She didn't like the way they carried on in her future. When she sported the predator pheromones, they usually ran off with a trail of urine behind them. Now all of the Metal girls were able to visit the pet store with Savannah and Young Allison and hold all the small animals. They were all thrilled by the experience.
She figured she'd better pay better attention. She was near the hotel again. She needed to look for anything out of the ordinary or suspicious. She could hear a 'switcher' off in the distance somewhere. It was probably servicing one of the local sidings. She was glad it didn't use its air horn, wherever it was at. It was probably in some type of industrial tract. She didn't want Young Allison's sleep disturbed.
She watched the hotel for a short period of time. She didn't like what she saw. She saw the desk clerk from earlier in the day around the back of the hotel. Another man arrived with a pickup truck. It was in very beat up condition. The man himself looked shabby. She suspected there was going to be some foul play. She was right.
Young Allison was alongside the door. She was sure someone tried to open it twice. They'd been unsuccessful because of the chair Cameron wedged under the door handle. She could hear someone whispering. She couldn't make out what they were saying. It was clear there were two of them. She was sure the rat faced looking desk clerk was behind it.
She held the Model 19 in her right hand. She didn't cock so it would fire from single action. She didn't want to have an accidental discharge if she needed to confront the aggressors. She figured they would be armed, she didn't know if it would be with firearms.
Young Allison could hear some type of metallic noise.
"I don't know why it's not working." The first man whispered.
It sounded like the shady looking desk clerk from earlier in the day.
"Are you sure it's the right key?" The second man whispered.
"Of course I'm sure." The first man whispered. "I work here."
Young Allison figured she was going to have to use some type of force. She wasn't sure what.
She went to the dresser and grabbed her custodian's uniform. She quickly put it on. She didn't want to ruin her dress.
Young Allison moved back over towards the window. She glanced out of it. She didn't spot the Thunderbird or Cameron. She felt confident she would be able to deal with the problem herself. She really wondered how many people she was going to have to kill before the day was over.
Earlier:
Cameron could see the man from the truck reach in the back and take a few things out of it. It looked like he had a coil of rope. She watched as the two men entered through the service entrance of the hotel. It was most likely where they'd exit from as well.
She made a quick sprint towards the hotel as soon as the men went inside. She went to the door they'd entered from. It was locked. She didn't want to force it open if she didn't need to. She moved around to the side. She found an open window on the dining room section of the hotel. It was closed for the night. It shut down rather early in her opinion. She opened it and quickly went inside.
She made her way to the door which led out into a hall. She could either go to the lobby of the hotel, or up the back stairway. She chose the back stairway. She went up the stairs to the second floor. She peered around the corner. The two men were at the door to their hotel room. They were both bent down in front of it. It was clear to her they attempted to make an uninvited entry.
Cameron silently moved up behind the two men and punched both of them in the side of the head at the same time. It was lights on, lights off. Under any other circumstances she would have rabbit punch them in the back of the neck and snapped their spines.
Both of the men fell to the floor with a 'thud'.
Two seconds later, the door to the room opened. Cameron came face to face with Young Allison's Model 19. She was a little surprised to see Young Allison wore her custodial uniform.
Can I Keep This
What is lost
What is found
The answer isn't there
No matter how much you look around
There should be an opening
When a heart is mined
It's just the opposite
Everything becomes cramped and confined
You're not physically bound
There are no shackles to restrain
What holds one down and back
Actually only exist in your brain
There are many things to weigh
One of them is self doubt
The message is soon lost
No matter how much you shout
When you become focused
And realize what you miss
You will ask yourself
Can I keep this
Nobody
