Chapter 1588
Many Times
Bob's team started out with a recon. Events expanded a little more than they anticipated. They set up surveillance across from a suspected Fanatic's location.
Currently Jim and Bob played cards with Derek and Kyle. Their ability was limited to the same ability of an 'average' human to make the game more even, fair, and fun.
John Henry monitored the surveillance cameras they placed along with the drone footage high above them.
With operatives of SkyMaster near by, there was always the potential for a volatile situation.
So far nothing happened or changed.
CamNet's Terminator watched as they began to search the dead man's body. He was sure they weren't done with the area yet. He wondered what type of tracker was on the male. It was something Lena and Tina evidently hadn't found.
The two men searched the body once and didn't appear to find what they were looking for. They searched it a second time more thoroughly.
The first man looked very unhappy.
"I can't find it." The first man said.
The second man even looked unhappier.
"The female must have taken it." The second man said.
The two men threw some debris back on top of the body. It was clear they weren't going to bury it or take it with them.
"The escape route is supposed to be around here." The first man said.
The second man was doubtful about what they were going to find.
"The whole complex is wasted." The second man said. "So is the other hillside complex."
The first man knew there was a lot of destruction. He wanted to investigate anyway.
"The mine was destroyed as well." The first man said. "Since we're here, I want to see what we can find."
The Terminator watched them move further up the hill. He wasn't sure exactly what they searched for on the deceased male. He didn't see them put any explosives on the man or under him to booby trap him. He watched them as carefully as he could from his position. He would check on it later. The body wasn't going anywhere. The two men were.
CamNet provided him with the information as to where the opening for the escape route was located. There were more bodies located there. It was where the female Fanatic was taken captive. She was on a vengeance strike ever since she escaped from the facility. She evidently didn't survive the last encounter. There was no new information on her.
The Terminator continued to shadow the men. He wasn't really sure what they thought they were going to find. It was always possible there was more there than they knew. They encountered the same thing at several other locations.
The two men searched around a specific area.
"I found something." The first man said. "You better take a look at this."
The second man went over. There were two other bodies.
"I think this was done by a Terminator." The second man said.
The first man looked around nervously.
"Do you think it was another Skynet group or the Resistance?" The first man asked. "I heard there were Terminators who work for them. Well, some of them. I know there's one faction who hates them."
The second man laughed.
"You know the Resistance in this time period is a myth." The second man said. "It was wiped out before it even got started."
The two men searched the bodies. They didn't appear to take anything or leave anything. They soon continued their search.
CamNet's Terminator watched as the two men discovered the remains of the opening for the escape route.
Young Allison and Anna were on the trail back to the hillside park. They just left the pool area.
Randy took the lead in front of them. Mel brought up the rear. Brian paralleled them with the SUV in case more firepower was needed.
Young Allison wanted to look for more predators. She didn't want females to be in danger when they were out for some exercise, or to have a good time.
Anna didn't' want Young Allison to look for trouble.
"This is unnecessary." Anna said.
Young Allison frowned. She thought it was more a matter of perception.
"So was going swimming." Young Allison said.
Anna frowned as they jogged. It wasn't too long after the fact.
"It's different. You know what I mean." Anna said.
Young Allison checked the drone images. So far no new contacts were located.
Randy reached the park first.
He was directed to a specific location by CamNet.
"A contact has been identified." Randy said. "I have them in custody."
Young Allison was a little surprised at the choice of words.
"Things happened a little quicker than I anticipated." Young Allison said.
Anna saw they were almost to the area. She wanted to get things wrapped up.
"Just shoot them and we'll go." Anna said. "Don't make a big production out of this."
Young Allison planned to make it personal and improve her killing skills with a live test subject.
"I'm going to use my knife on them." Young Allison said.
Anna looked over at her. She knew what Young Allison referred to. She thought she did anyway.
"The 'procedure' is unnecessary." Anna said.
Young Allison understood what she indicated. She planned to kill with her knife. She discussed the procedure with Anna to make sure she would do it right.
Anna disagreed with Young Allison's desire. Her technique described was all part of her training. Perhaps what was about to happen, was more of a hands on training experience.
CamNet didn't want Young Allison to get so close to live targets. Randy was directed to terminate the man.
Randy stood over the man. He was still bound. He was blindfolded and gagged. It was to prevent an attempt to scream or call for help.
Randy placed his foot on the man's chest. He pressed down with some force to prevent the man from being able to inhale. The man expired in a short time from asphyxiation.
Young Allison and Anna arrived. Randy stood over the dead man.
"You killed him." Young Allison said.
Randy only followed orders. He was supposed to turn it into a training mission, rather than a mission of vengeance.
"You can still shoot them, or use your knife. I'll hold him up as if he was standing so you can practice. You may practice more than once this way." Randy said. "This is a real life training opportunity."
Young Allison frowned. It was clear CamNet didn't want her to murder or assassinate anyone unless it was necessary.
"Fine…." Young Allison said. "I'll try a knife attack from the back into the kidney."
Randy held the corpse up to make it more lifelike.
Young Allison moved up and stabbed the corpse in the back.
Anna reviewed the procedure as Young Allison performed it.
"You will want to go a little higher and try to move the front of the knife once it's buried to cause more damage." Anna said.
Without hesitation Young Allison pulled out the knife and did it again a little higher.
"That's the way." Anna said.
Young Allison switched to the other side and did it again.
"Perfect." Anna said.
Next she tried to attack the neck from the side and the back. The knife bound up in the vertebrae of the neck from the back attack. Once the knife was free, she slashed the corpse's throat.
Young Allison personally killed before. All of those kills were with a firearm or through her actions as directed to John Henry or CamNet. To actually use a knife on a human body was very different. She'd been trained in multiple procedures to kill someone.
"It's tougher than it looks." Young Allison said.
Anna didn't like such close contact. She would prefer if Young Allison wasn't in close enough to touch the enemy. If she could touch the enemy, the enemy could touch her.
"It is also very messy if the target is alive." Anna said. "His heart no longer pumped blood or you would be covered in it."
Young Allison knew Terminators could snap a neck with the flick of a wrist.
"Put the corpse on its knees." Young Allison said. "I want to snap its neck."
Randy complied.
Young Allison tried what she was trained to do. The corpse's head twisted and almost came off. It hung from the neck muscles on one side.
Anna wanted to explain why the current attack looked so devastating.
"It happened because of all the knife work you've done first." Anna said. "The area was loosened up considerably."
There was now blood on her clothes, even from the dead man.
Mel arrived behind them earlier. He carried the entrenching tool. He quickly dug a grave for the man.
Young Allison grasped the corpse by the foot and drug it over. She rolled him in. She took the small shovel from Mel.
Mel wanted to continue his work.
"I can do it." Mel said.
Young Allison wanted to do the dirty work.
"I have it." Young Allison said as she covered the man.
The three Terminators would have preferred to take care of it themselves. It seemed to be something Young Allison needed to do for herself.
Brian arrived on foot just as Young Allison finished. She was covered with dirt and blood now.
"I have clean clothes for you." Brian said.
Young Allison wanted them to see her naked. She liked how the male Terminators 'looked' at her without looking. She didn't want to make any of them nervous as they stole a few looks.
"You can all watch me change." Young Allison said. "I don't mind."
Young Allison stripped down to her underwear in front of the four Terminators. Some of the blood soaked down to her underwear. She removed them as well. She was naked. Anna used several water bottles to wash off the dirt and any blood on her skin.
She put on the fresh shirt and pants without any underwear.
Brian and Randy policed the area and camouflaged the grave. When they were done, it looked like the surrounding area.
Young Allison looked over the scene. She looked over at Randy. It was a question she probably should have asked earlier but didn't. Maybe she was caught up a little too much in the events and what was about to play out.
"How did you know he was a perpetrator?" Young Allison asked.
Randy showed Young Allison the man's personal effects. In them was a pair of female underwear. He showed her the man's phone as well. The man was looking at images on it as he approached him. It was clear the images were banned everywhere. It was most likely what his target would have been.
Young Allison believed her actions prevented some future abuse of females. It also was retribution for what apparently was already done previously.
"I need a shower." Young Allison said. "Let's go home."
Anna started to follow Brian back to the SUV.
"I'm not done with my run yet." Young Allison said.
The Terminators all looked at each other and resumed their former positions. Brain returned to the SUV and paralleled them.
Camille-Hanna wanted to 'mess' with John a little. She pretended like she was 'Cameron' and was upset about all of John's 'activity'.
John thought it was Cameron. Her latest statement about what was never going to happen again caught him off guard. His mouth slightly hung open as he contemplated his future.
Camille-Hanna walked back and pointed her finger at his face.
"You heard me." Camille-Hanna said.
John figured his bonanza of booty was over.
Camille-Hanna couldn't take it any longer. She burst out laughing.
John looked a little perplexed.
"John, I'm really Hanna in Camille's chassis. I was just playing around. I'm sorry if I distressed you." Camille-Hanna said. "She needed to borrow my chassis to go to Vegas with Young Jesse. Cammy and Ally were already with her so I let Camille borrow my chassis."
John was a little angry and upset about the deception. He was however very relieved it wasn't really Cameron. He thought about it a little further. He was very pleased it wasn't Cameron. He didn't care for the deception and what he was made to believe. He did know things could have been a lot worse if it was real. It gave him something to think about if nothing else.
"You got me good." John said.
Camille-Hanna touched his cheek. She was actually there for something else.
"I'm sorry." Camille-Hanna said. "I really came here to be with you. I wanted to try out Camille's chassis."
John felt the 'energy drink' kick in. He was 'up' for a little recreational activity. The sense of relief he felt right now was immense. He figured he did need to think about some of the things she mentioned. Housekeeping was one of them.
"I'm good." John said with a slight laugh. "You did have me worried."
Camille-Hanna wanted to help him out. She thought the room could use a little policing. She was aware Cameron would pick up on everything she just did as she mentioned them in jest.
"After we finish up, I'll clean the room up for you." Camille-Hanna said. "There's no need to chance it for real. You know what I mean."
John wanted the help after the mock encounter. He didn't want it to be for real when Cameron returned. He also knew Camille-Hanna meant Cameron could be a real Bitch at times.
"I would really appreciate it." John said.
Camille-Hanna moved closer to him and kissed him.
"One hand washes the other." Camille-Hanna whispered as she placed his hands on her sheath.
John was ready to go. They quickly stripped each other and got down to business.
Camille-Hanna was able to try everything she wanted. She didn't see a real advantage of Camille's chassis over hers. John seemed to perform the same as he did with her chassis, with the same results. She was pretty sure he concentrated a little more in certain areas on her normal sheath. It was probably because he viewed the sheath she currently displayed thousands of times already with Cameron. There was nothing 'new' for him to see.
She was able to finish several times to John's two. He was pretty much spent. She noticed a decrease in performance as well as the physical results. It was clear John worked his body pretty hard the last few days.
She let him rest for a while. He dozed off so she started to get everything straightened up. She would take away all the soiled laundry as well. She finished up what she could and climbed back into bed next to him. She wanted a little more while she was in the borrowed chassis. It probably wouldn't happen again for a while. She would like to borrow Holly's or Gail's chassis. The pleasure response was much better in them. Restorators possessed a superior neural network, thanks to Mrs. Weaver. She felt a sufficient amount of time elapsed for John to be ready one more time. There was no need to wait.
"Let me 'start you up'." Camille-Hanna said.
They weren't done yet.
Young Jesse and Hanna-Camille inspected and fueled the jet. They were ready to re-board. They went up the airstair and retracted it for now. They didn't want any unwanted visitors.
"I don't think we'll get off until later." Hanna-Camille said. "We can get off earlier if you want to."
Young Jesse did want to look around Las Vegas. She always saw it on television and in the movies. It was always made to look so glamorous. Her over flight of the location showed the glamorous areas were only where the casinos were located. Everything else just looked like a regular city. They would need to see what everyone else wanted to do, and when they would get started.
"We can see if Holly is free. After we finish with her, we can go." Young Jesse said.
They could hear action in both of the suites as they passed by.
Ally and Holly-Cam were in the lounge area of the executive transport.
"Here comes Young Jesse and Camille." Ally said. "Camille is using Hanna's chassis."
Cam was pleased she got her hands on Holly's chassis.
"I should have snagged Gail's chassis for you." Holly-Cam said.
Ally would have liked it if she would have. It was really something to have an actual set of knockers.
"It's one sweet chassis." Ally said. "She's the biggest on the top and the smallest on the bottom."
Hanna-Camille walked up to them.
"Got room for two more?" Hanna-Camille asked.
Ally waved her hand to indicate where they were.
"We always do." Ally said.
Young Jesse headed straight for 'Holly'.
Tricia infiltrated as 'Leticia' with Mary in the Master Suite. So far no questions were raised. It looked like she pulled it off.
CamNet monitored everything since it was her program in control. She'd told Cammy to switch with 'Leticia'.
Cammy used the pass door between the suites to rejoin Mary. It was what she wanted anyway.
Tricia joined Laura as 'Leticia'.
The kissing started. It was soon followed by touching.
Tricia was pretty sure Laura was fooled too. Leticia and Laura were together for two years so the real test would be if any questions were asked.
Right now their mouths did the 'talking'. There were no words spoken as they did.
Laura thought 'Leticia' was totally in the zone. She really made things happen.
Sheila and Leticia snuck off the jet and were out alone. Leticia gave Sheila an address to go to.
Sheila was a little perplexed when she pulled up in front of the address.
"This is a wedding chapel." Sheila said.
Leticia looked at Sheila with her big brown eyes.
"I want to be your wife." Leticia said.
Sheila felt a glitch impulse shoot through her left hand. She quickly regained her composure. She was flattered with the offer.
"That's really sweet." Sheila said. "I'm not ready to settle down yet."
Leticia didn't think it would hurt to try.
"It was just a thought." Leticia said. "I'm still yours no matter what."
Sheila was touched by it all. She wanted Leticia to rethink her options. She didn't want Leticia to feel like she was owned either.
"You're not mine." Sheila said. "You belong to yourself. Never forget it. Even if someone thinks they own you, or tries to control you, they don't. You are your own person."
Leticia looked a little sad.
"A lot of people have wanted to marry me." Leticia said.
Sheila smiled and touched her leg. She wanted to give her a brief reminder of her lifestyle. It wasn't the most conducive to longevity.
"It's because you're a fine woman and a very beautiful one." Sheila said. "I do dangerous work. I need to terminate people and destroy things. Those same people want to terminate me. There may be a time when I don't come home. It happens."
Leticia thought there were ways around it for the 'special girls'. She'd seen a few of them.
"I want to join the team." Leticia said.
Sheila knew it wasn't her decision to make.
"I'll check into it. There are several others above me on this. I can't make the decision on my own." Sheila said. "You can be damaged, wounded, maimed, shot, tortured, or killed. The females from the future were all heavily abused since they were girls."
Leticia had her share of it. It wasn't usually violent since she went along with it. She didn't really have a choice. She just let it happen. It happened a lot. It was going to happen anyway. Even when there was a 'line', they all finished very fast. She knew she was being used. She soon began to think she wasn't good for anything else.
"I want to do something more meaningful with my life." Leticia said.
Sheila knew everything would change for Leticia.
"You'll need to live at the base and your outside activity will be limited. You'll need to kill." Sheila said. "Your life will be very restricted. Your old life will be gone forever."
Leticia knew Sheila already 'tested' her. She already killed and was a part of multiple killings. She knew all the individuals involved deserved what happened to them.
"I think I've passed the qualification test." Leticia said. "I've killed and maimed with you."
Sheila was given information by CamNet on where to go. It surprised her a little bit. It did make a lot of sense though. It seemed CamNet was on board with the idea.
Riley and Samantha were in her bedroom.
"You were with John." Riley said.
Samantha returned from there earlier.
"I was." Samantha said. "I told you."
Riley wanted to get pregnant again.
"Can you transfer any of his genetic material to me?" Riley asked.
Samantha scanned Riley. It might work. There could be serious repercussions from Cameron. They would most likely be very negative repercussions.
"It might not be a good idea." Samantha said. "Cameron should be consulted."
Riley didn't care. She wanted her body to do one of the functions it was designed for.
"Just try it anyway." Riley said. "If it works, I'll give it to Cameron as her own child."
Riley already tried to do it with Precious before. Cameron wouldn't take Precious from her.
Vanna held Precious. She wondered why Riley and Samantha ran off together so fast. She moved to the door and listened. She decided to open it a crack. It never hurt to know what was going on around the base.
Gail and Jesse were both naked. They were in the hall. Gail carried Jesse in her arms.
Jesse did manage to grab two robes off the back of a chair as they went out of the room naked. She only held them.
They stopped at Vanna's room and listened. It sounded like Allison and Cam were in there.
They moved on to the nursery. They listened outside.
"It sounds quiet." Jesse said.
Gail knew someone was in there.
"Vanna may be with Precious." Gail said.
Gail set Jesse down. She carefully opened the door. She spotted Vanna with her head in Riley's room through the pass door. She held Precious.
Gail and Jesse slipped inside.
Vanna thought she heard something. She was a little surprised to see Jesse and Gail standing there naked when she turned around.
Jesse walked up and looked at Precious.
"What's happening?" Jesse asked.
Vanna knew she got caught spying.
"I just checked to see what Riley and Samantha were doing." Vanna said.
Jesse smiled and took Precious from Vanna.
"The same thing we all do." Jesse said. "Why don't you and Gail join them? I can't. I can't be with Riley or Derek. I promised Cameron."
Gail looked at Vanna and the open pass door. She was ready for a little more.
"Let's go." Gail said.
Vanna looked back at Jesse. She knew she wanted to go. She understood a promise was a promise. A person was only as good as their word. It also depended upon the conditions the promise was made. Sometimes there was some coercion involved. Sometimes it was a promise for another person's well being.
Since Jesse couldn't be there in person, she thought the next best thing was to be there in spirit.
"Do it once for me, love." Jesse said.
Vanna and Gail entered the main room.
Jesse smiled as they left. She was happy to be with Precious. She knew Young Jesse carried a child for her. She didn't know she was also pregnant either.
Savannah wanted Cameron to enjoy herself as both a 'male' and a 'female' at the same time, with her as part of it.
Cameron thought maybe she could try it for a few seconds. It was something she actually considered before, but was hesitant to actually try it. The conditions now were completely different. She wanted to know how she compared to a human female. She did want to know how she compared to Savannah. She kissed Savannah deeply. Her head suddenly lifted slightly.
"Savannah…." Cameron gasped. "It's wonderful!"
Savannah didn't want Cameron to overload. She knew right now Cameron experienced both what a male and female felt at the same time. It was going to overload her system at some point. It was probably going to happen relatively soon.
"You need to limit Jameron's response to that of a human male." Savannah whispered. "I don't want you to shut down."
She could feel Cameron's response to the activity. Cameron kissed her deeply as it happened. She really wished she could try it with herself too. Cameron held her tighter as she neared a finish. She could tell when Cameron made it and so did Jameron-Cameron. They both stopped moving for a few seconds. Things soon resumed and they separated. She figured it was to prevent a shutdown with all the sensory input.
Jameron-Cameron moved next to Savannah while Cameron remained on top of her.
Cameron was thrilled with what she'd just done with 'herself'.
"It was the most wonderful experience I've ever had." Cameron whispered. "It wasn't just double the pleasure, but a multiplier effect."
Savannah thought it was part of the momentary 'stoppage'. She was glad Cameron or Jameron-Cameron didn't overload. She was prepared to yank the tether out of the back of Cameron's neck.
Cameron kissed Savannah softly and deeply. She probably wouldn't have tried it unless Savannah urged her to do so.
"Thank you for allowing me such pleasure." Cameron whispered.
Savannah wanted Cameron to try it one more time. She wanted her to have what she felt would be an even better experience.
"Do it again with Jameron-Cameron on top." Savannah said.
Cameron didn't want to take it too far. It was just something she wanted to try to see what it was like and how she compared.
"I'd better not." Cameron said.
Savannah wanted Cameron to experience a little more. She didn't know when the opportunity would arise again. Something told her it wouldn't be anytime soon. She thought she could motivate Cameron.
"I'd like to watch." Savannah said. "If you two, well, you don't mind. You're in control of both chassis. It's all you."
Cameron did want to try it again. She still was a little leery. It wasn't something she wanted to become fixated on. She was aware sometimes things happened like that with her.
"Maybe we can do just a quickie." Cameron said.
Savannah wanted Cameron to know how special she was. It bothered her when Cameron always felt she was 'not good enough'.
"I want you to see and feel how you do to John and me." Savannah said.
Cameron thought Savannah felt better. She would try a new position and see how she compared again. She really wanted John to be with Savannah. She was very pleased she was with her first as Jameron-Cameron.
Savannah moved over to give them more room.
Jameron-Cameron moved over the top of Cameron.
"You two can try everything." Savannah whispered. "You can use your Terminator abilities to keep going. You just need to keep the response sedate. I would prefer it would be no more than a human response."
Savannah watched as they kissed.
"I - you, look so beautiful…." Jameron-Cameron said.
The kissing picked up and soon Cameron was on top.
Savannah was fascinated to watch them share many different ways. Every time they made it at the same time, there was the same few second pause. She was really afraid they would overload. If they did and didn't reboot, she knew it was going to cause a problem. She would need to get a hold of Cammy and ask for her assistance. She really wondered what Cammy was up to right now. She knew Cammy wouldn't be pleased where she was at right now and with what she did.
Jameron-Cameron finished off on top of Cameron.
Savannah coughed slightly.
Cameron understood the clandestine interruption.
"It's enough." Cameron said.
Jameron-Cameron looked at Cameron and Savannah.
"Can I switch back and forth between you two?" Jameron-Cameron asked.
Savannah watched videos where the same thing happened before. She wanted to try everything. What could it hurt?
"Yes." Savannah said. "I'd like it one time."
Cameron moved up alongside Savannah.
"You go first." Savannah whispered. "Then we'll switch every thirty seconds."
Jameron-Cameron was thrilled at the prospect. He would be able to really compare everything that way, side by side. It would all happen in real time.
Cameron and Savannah kissed as Jameron-Cameron started in on Cameron.
Savannah watched things take off and then Jameron-Cameron was over her. She winced a little at first. She was a little sore. Things were almost instantly fine and the switch back and forth went on for a while.
They both waited for Savannah to make it before they did.
Savannah didn't want things to go too far. She wanted there to be a little control and moderation. She kissed both of them and then unplugged Jameron from Cameron.
Jameron was between them. He looked at Savannah and Cameron.
"We're all through here." Cameron said. "You may leave now."
Jameron looked at Cameron and then at Savannah. It was CamNet's program in control now. It was clear a little more was desired. The request came soon enough.
"Can I be with Savannah one time?" Jameron asked. "If she'll have me I mean. I've only ever done this as a female."
Cameron was still upset CamNet was with Savannah before she was. CamNet was still 'her'.
"No." Cameron said. "Savannah belongs to me."
Savannah wanted to be with CamNet as a male. She didn't want to upset Cameron. She felt there was a plausible reason to not go any further right now.
"I'm kind of sore right now." Savannah said. "I've never done any of this before. I may have overdone it a little."
Cameron did know it was a lot for someone's first time. She was a little concerned about her earlier statement. She didn't want to prevent Savannah her free will to choose.
"Maybe some other time you two can." Cameron said. "I don't want to know about it either. Everyone is free to choose."
Jameron and Savannah shared a long look. It was clear it was going to happen. They both wanted it. Savannah wanted to be CamNet's first as a male.
CamNet wanted Savannah as her first as a female, which she was, and as a male which was going to happen at some point.
"I'll dock the boat." Jameron said. "You two can get cleaned up."
Jameron left naked.
Savannah looked at Cameron with love in her eyes and in her heart.
"This is my most special day ever, Cameron." Savannah said.
Cameron and Savannah kissed.
"It was mine too." Cameron said. "We will always be each others 'first' as a male and female."
Savannah wished Cameron would have been her first female. It was Young Jesse and then Cammy.
"It's only my first time with you as a male." Savannah said. "You're the one who took my virginity."
Cameron kissed her and smiled.
"It was my first time with a female as a female, and my first time as a male with a female. It's hard to top." Cameron said. "I will treasure this day forever."
They headed for the shower.
Savannah quickly reached down with her hand.
"It's a little more than I expected." Savannah said.
Cameron smiled.
"You did do it more than a few times." Cameron said.
Savannah followed Cameron.
"How many times did you do it on your first time?" Savannah asked.
Cameron thought back as she relived each encounter in a few milliseconds.
"It was only four times the first night." Cameron said. "I needed to take care of a few other things later on."
Savannah remembered waking up to the TDE running and seeing Cameron's wedding dress hanging on the back of her bedroom door.
"That was then, this is now." Savannah said as they entered the bathroom. "I think you made up for it."
Cameron thought there was a lot of making up she needed to do. There was a whole new world which just opened up to her. Maybe it was time to stop refereeing and become a participant. Savannah told her there was a lot of love to share. Maybe it was time.
Jill didn't like what Jackie told her.
"I know we can take off now and put all of this behind us." Jill said. "I'm not really sure if it's what I want to do."
The female Fanatic already considered their departure.
"If I had an active enemy target, I would walk away and not look back." The female Fanatic said. "I don't have one. I don't like the way some of these men operate any more than you do. The problem is very widespread. It seems all of the crimes have gotten worse. More are committed since there's no longer any real punishment."
Jill was pleased with the punishment they dished out on their own. Not only to the groups from the future, but to the other individuals they encountered who were out to do harm to others. It actually gave her a good feeling when they were killed. She knew they were killed by her hand. The most recent encounter when they tried to get out of the boxcar was further proof of the lawlessness which plagued the area.
"I think we've been able to deliver a little justice on our own." Jill said. "What you said about upping the timetable worries me. Do you really think they would try to put the grab on us, or anyone else now?"
The female Fanatic knew how evil some people could be.
"You need to remember how all of these people think." The female Fanatic said. "They only think about themselves. We're nothing to them. Females are just like 'things'. It's how it's been throughout much of history and into the future. It's human nature."
They heard the sound of a truck in the back.
The female Fanatic quickly moved to the rear window to look.
"There's some type of delivery van." The female Fanatic said. "It's backed up to the room down two from us where the two new arrivals went into."
Jill quickly realized they were next. The delivery van could have stopped at their window first. She could hear a faint 'hissing' sound .
Lena and Tina tracked the white van through the drone footage.
The white van headed for where the smoke was coming from. They soon arrived near the area. They didn't want to get too close. The warning they received indicated it was a second gang which had been encountered. They needed to look out for two gangs themselves.
"Maybe this isn't such a good idea." The first man said.
"All of the heavy weapons were in the SUV." The second man said.
"If we get into some kind of a beef, we're going to be at a major disadvantage." The first man said.
"I still don't know why we're even doing this." The second man said.
The white van was at the intersection where the burning SUV was at. There were several other vehicles parked there as well. There was no sign of movement.
"Are we going to get out and check anything?" The first man asked.
"I think if our guys were still alive, they would probably see us sitting here right now." The second man said. "The only people who are going to see us will be one of the gangs, if not both of them."
"I want to take a closer look." The second man said. "Maybe I can score a few weapons. All we have are our handguns. We should have taken more when we got out of the SUV earlier."
"I'll wait here in the van and keep the engine running." The first man said.
Lena and Tina watched as one man exited the white van. He approached the location where everything was burning, including most of the men on the ground.

Young Allison was a little confused about the residential community she currently drove through. She knew Cameron wanted to go to the bank. It wasn't just any bank. It was a specific bank. When she thought about the location they were at, it all began to click.
Cameron didn't want Young Allison to get her hopes up too high too quickly.
"Yes we are. Don't expect to see any of the brothers or Boys." Cameron said. "The plane which just took off is at Hawthorne Municipal Airport. It's only a few hundred feet south of our current location. It's just over a mile away from LAX and not too far off the southernmost runway."
Young Allison saw the address Cameron indicated. She saw there were several cars parked out in front of the house as well as in the driveway.
"This is where Brian, Carl, and Dennis grew up at." Young Allison said. "I'm sure Mike was a frequent visitor as well. He's their cousin after all. I'm sure David's house is right around here. He really got a raw deal. It sort of reminds me of what happened to Pete. I have to say Al lucked out no matter how you cut it, sort of like Richard did."
Young Allison pulled over a few houses down on the other side of the street from the address. She shut down the Galaxie.
Cameron thought the original name of the musical group was a little strange to be named after a type of shirt. She thought someone could have come up with a little better name. It took someone affiliated with the recording studios to come up with a more appropriate name.
"It was a little more complicated with Al and David. There was always a lot going on behind the scenes. Life holds many twists and turns." Cameron said. "Nobody can predict the future."
Young Allison quickly glanced over at Cameron with the last part of her statement. She wasn't sure if she was joking or not.
She was aware Cameron liked to have a lot of control as to what happened. The fact they were in the past right now was proof of it.
Young Allison was a little surprised to see a four engine propeller plane on the approach to LAX.
"I've never seen one of those before." Young Allison said. "It looks like a DC-7 to me. I doubt we'll see a Stratocruiser. We might see a 'Connie' though."
Cameron knew it took a while for the older technology to be replaced with the newer. It was something she didn't like to think about on a personal level.
"It will take a while before all of the big piston engine aircraft are gone." Cameron said. "Some of them will make their way into smaller regional airlines at bargain basement prices as the larger airlines upgrade to the different types of jets. Various aircraft will still be flown for two more decades. The big R-3350 engines most of them are fitted with are very labor intensive. We won't see any Boeing 377 Stratocruisers. The big R-4360 engines were an even bigger handful to maintain. The Lockheed Constellations will remain in passenger service for a few more years. they share the same basic engine as the Douglas DC-7."
Young Allison was aware of another aircraft of the time period.
"I doubt we'll see an Electra." Young Allison said.
Cameron knew the L-188 Electra had a lot of difficulties. It never did well in civilian usage. A few early accidents didn't help any. The military went on to use an aircraft based on the L-118. It was a P-3 Orion. It served for decades without any major problems.
"It was a turboprop." Cameron said. "There were a lot of complaints from the passengers about the different frequencies they would hear inside the cabin."
Young Allison kept her eye on the house. She hoped to spot one of the group.
"Do you think any of them are even in there?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron blinked her eyes several times. She was still mulling over the idea of perfectly good aircraft being retired and scrapped in favor of newer and more modern ones. She quickly pulled up a few files.
"They were scheduled to perform at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento three days ago." Cameron said. "Because of some of the current events, it was decided to postpone it."
Cameron didn't want to mention the reason why it was canceled. It was because of the incident in Dallas involving the president and his untimely demise.
Young Allison glanced over at Cameron and quickly returned her gaze back to the house.
"I'm sure they'll have some more soon." Young Allison said. "They are rather popular right now, at least in this country."
Cameron checked her files. It appeared they were in luck.
"There are actually two more local performances in a few days." Cameron said. "There's one on Friday in Indio and another one in San Bernardino on Saturday."
Young Allison thought about the location of the one on Friday.
"Is the one in Indio a forerunner of the Coachella Music Festival which will appear later on?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron didn't think there was a direct link.
"I doubt it." Cameron said. "It's to be held at the National Guard Armory."
Young Allison was sure it was a strange location for the group to play. Maybe there weren't a whole lot of places in Indio in 1963. When the Sunset Limited passed through there, there wasn't much to see. Maybe the other location would be a better choice.
"San Bernardino is a little closer." Young Allison said. "Where's it held at?"
Cameron checked her files. There was some interesting information.
"It's in the Municipal Auditorium." Cameron said. "From 9:30 to 10:30 PM, a local television channel will air a telecast live from the auditorium. It will be the first of many Saturday Night Bandstand Dances which will be aired locally. Considering their popularity, I'm sure the TV cameras undoubtedly captured the Beach Boys' performance."
Young Allison wondered if they could be on television as well. They were going to be in a TV series and a movie already. They might as well throw in a live television broadcast while they were at it.
"Since it was broadcast live, is there any record of the telecast?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron didn't possess any information about it.
"I don't know." Cameron said. "It's always possible someone set up a home movie camera to film what was shown on the TV."
Young Allison thought it would be easier just to go to the performance. There was a certain thrill to hearing a group live. She knew the major drawback was the quality of what was heard. Often there were studio musicians who played the instruments while the group only sang the vocals. They could be manipulated in the studio to make everything sound better than any live performance could be. She thought it was more about the thrill of seeing the performers themselves, and feeling the vibrations of the music which was always played too loud and distorted.
"It will give us something to think about." Young Allison said. "Maybe some of them are in the studio now. Maybe some of them are at home right now."
Cameron spotted some movement at the residence. She sat up a little straighter in her seat.
No Words Spoken
It doesn't take much
For the light to darken
It usually starts to happen
When one is pushed away and forsaken
It leaves one bewildered
When they're treated as a token
It can cause them worry
It will leave them shaken
It never causes one to be stronger
Instead it makes them weaken
It's never an accident
So don't be fooled or mistaken
It's hard to re-float a ship
When it's already sunken
It leaves one uneasy
It causes them to sicken
It's difficult to fix something
When one doesn't know it's broken
It often seems to be the case
When there are no words spoken
Nobody
