Chapter 579

Get Them

Last night:

They were just about finished in the Command Center.

John was still upset about his earlier conversation with Cameron. He really wanted to knock one off with her. It wouldn't have taken long. He didn't see anything else of relevance he could deal with in the Command Center. He needed to refocus.

"I think everything is wrapped up for now." John said.

John Henry felt it was as far as it concerned John. There were plenty of other things he needed to take care of. Most of those were in the background as far as John was concerned. He could see John was distracted.

"Are you going to rest now?" John Henry asked.

John thought about his earlier conversation with Cameron. It left him upset and angry at her. He knew he was supposed to respect her desires not to be seen by him when she was damaged. He could go back to his room on the most direct route, or take a route and tour some of the base. It would allow him to pass by the girl's rooms first. Maybe one of them would invite him in. If they did, he wasn't going to turn them down. He didn't see any reason to get too specific.

"Maybe I will." John said.

John Henry wondered about what would happen next. He didn't want John to worry about anything. They would need to let events play out some. The reconnaissance teams would find out more and if there was a lead or not.

"Everything's pretty much wrapped up here for now." John Henry said. "I'll keep you posted."

John nodded and left. He decided to take the direct route back to his room after all. He passed by the commissary and went by his room. He looked at the door for a moment but kept going. He soon passed by mother's room and Derek's room. He made the turn down the hall to the girl's rooms. He paused outside Vanna's door. It was the closest.

He moved on down to Jesse's room. He paused in front of her door. It wasn't shut tight. He looked both ways down the hall to make sure no one was coming. He didn't want to get caught looking in the open door. Well, it wasn't exactly open. It just wasn't shut tight. He could hear there was some activity going on inside. It was the sound of two females who seemed to be able to please each other repeatedly. He really wondered what it would be like to be able to experience something similar. One shot and he was done, at least for a short time.

'What are you doing?' John asked himself. 'Who was he to intrude on anyone else? Who are you fooling?'

He turned around and headed back towards his room. He'd just knock one off with 'Rosie' and then get cleaned up.

Today:

John was up and headed for the commissary. There was some movement at the end of the other hallway.

He looked towards the carpool area. He was excited to see Cameron was back at the base. Maybe 'Rosie' should have waited last night. It didn't matter. He might last three minutes instead of two now.

"Cameron!" John called out.

'Little Willie' started to respond in anticipation.

John saw Savannah come around the corner a second later. The reality hit him. It wasn't Cameron with her. It must be Cammy. The realization didn't stop 'Little Willie' though. He was still on the rise. He really wanted Savannah's virginity. Cammy's would be good too.

"I'm sorry." John said. "Hello, Cammy, Savannah."

They both tried to look more attractive as they approached John.

"Hi, John." They both answered.

John looked around in back of them. He hoped there was one more with them.

"Is Cameron coming too?" John asked.

Cammy frowned a little.

"John, you know how Cameron feels about being 'damaged'." Cammy said.

Savannah and Cammy exchanged a quick glance. It was clear there was a little 'verbal malpractice' involved with her statement concerning Cameron and her current condition. Well, what Cammy said wasn't a lie.

John could see the repairs to Cammy and knew she was right about Cameron. Her appearance mattered to her. He knew she wanted to look her best for him. He didn't think Cammy was as bothered by it. He glanced over at Savannah for a moment before he turned his attention back to Cammy.

"You're 'Cameron' too." John said. "Don't you worry about damage yourself?"

Cammy did worry about it. She also knew Savannah's love was deeper than sex.

"No, Savannah loves me for more than my body." Cammy said. "She loves me for who I am."

Savannah looked at John when Cammy said it. She understood it for the indirect insult it actually was. It didn't seem like something she wanted to get involved with. She thought now was a good time to keep moving.

John knew Cammy's statement was a jab at him for not wanting Cameron to have a different sheath before. He wasn't going to take the bait. He was going to let it slide. Cammy was 'Cameron' after all. She knew where to 'hit'. He only needed to remind himself Cammy ran the same program as Cameron. Everything Cameron knew or felt is also what Cammy would feel. The only difference was Cameron's directives for him were replaced by Savannah's for Cammy.

Savannah shook her head and walked away. She was sure things would take a turn for the worse the longer they were there. It was time to move on. She wanted no part of the conversation.

"I'm out." Savannah said

Once Savannah left, Cammy looked around and then at John. She wanted to throw a few more things out there. Without Savannah nearby, now seemed like a good time.

"You're welcome to 'try out' this body. Everything's the SAME." Cammy whispered. "Nobody will know…."

John's mouth dropped open slightly.

Cammy smiled at him and left. She hurried to catch up with Savannah.

John watched Cammy and Savannah as they walked away. He reflected on the fact he ALMOST 'tried' the body out once, on both of them…. Cammy really tried to be with him once while she pretended to be Savannah in the darkness. She just made her intentions clear again. For what he needed, it would be the same. He only needed two, maybe three minutes tops. If Cammy wanted to get 'busted', he was more than willing to take her virginity too.

Cammy looked back and smiled.

John was tired of Cameron never being around. She was always off fighting the war on her own. There were people who wanted other things too.

"You're on." John said. "BOTH of you."

Cammy heard him but didn't turn back this time. A smile slowly spread across her face. She knew Savannah was going to have to wait for her turn. She thought she could get lucky with John first. She would be able to let Savannah know if it was something she actually wanted to try or not. She didn't see the need for any rush currently. She also thought it would help put Cameron in her place.

Savannah made the rounds and checked how everyone's recovery was going. She looked at the visible damage on them. She touched each one of the Terminators on the cheek before she left. Before they left Cameron's base, She checked on Cameron's Terminator as well. It seemed to please him greatly.

He was very enthralled because the 'Chosen One' took the time to look in on him specifically, and ask about his more severe wounds. She physically touched him in multiple areas to inspect the damage.

Savannah continued her rounds at the Resistance base. The Terminators were all pleased she was there to check on them. Savannah always seemed to brighten the room with her presence and sparked every Terminator to feel 'happy'.

Savannah saved Gail for last. She arrived at Jesse's room.

She figured Jesse and Gail were in there together. She really wanted to share with Jesse, even if it was only for a finish or two. More would be better.

Savannah knocked on the door

Jesse answered after a few seconds. All she was wearing were her nipple rings. It looked like she was waiting for someone. She grabbed a long tee shirt and slid it on slowly as she invited Savannah in.

Having just seen Jesse naked made Savannah think of Young Jesse. It made her 'hungry'. She wanted to be with Jesse even more. Her tight trim figure really excited her. The nipple rings only made her want Jesse more. She could see them clearly through the tight fitting t-shirt Jesse now wore.

"Hi, Jesse." Savannah said. "You're looking good…."

Jesse smoothed the tee shirt over her breasts which only made her nipple rings stand out even more. The tee shirt wasn't quite long enough to cover everything either.

"I'm sorry for the mess, love." Jesse said.

The room was in semi disarray.

Cammy was aware of Savannah's desire for Jesse. She watched it build more and more. She could see Savannah was visibly aroused to look at Jesse's nude form as they entered.

"Was it a rough night?" Cammy asked as she looked around.

Jesse looked at the bed and then back at Cammy.

"Sure…." Jesse said.

Savannah looked at the bed and then at Jesse.

"Where's Gail at?" Savannah asked

Jesse looked a little uneasy

"I don't know." Jesse said nervously.

Cammy knew something was off. She excused herself and left Jesse and Savannah alone. She moved down the hall.

She called John Henry to find out where Gail was.

"I don't know." John Henry said. "She left earlier. I last 'pinged' her near the park."

Cammy figured there was some new problem.

"Keep me posted." Cammy said and returned to the room.

She heard some movement in Vanna's room as she passed. She wasn't sure who was in there with Vanna. It was most likely Cam.

Jesse's top was off again, but she'd put some underwear on. She showed Savannah one of her nipple rings. They were discussing something.

Savannah lifted one of the nipple rings up and down. She really wanted to touch what it was attached to.

"I have an extra set." Jesse said. "I can help you put them on."

Savannah noticed Cammy returned. It was sooner than she thought it would be. She figured she went off to tease John again. She heard what everyone said earlier. She was surprised to see her return and be so close. She planned to kiss Jesse. She would have started with the lips on her face first. She planned to work her way down…. The prospect of allowing Jesse to touch her breasts excited her.

"Go get them." Savannah said. "Let's see how I'd look with a set."

She actually did the same thing the first time she saw Isabel-Cameron with a set on. She returned to her room later on and held up a set of colored plastic rings she had. It just didn't look the same on her. She was too young for it to have the best effect. It was no longer the case. There was plenty to accentuate.

Savannah stripped off her top and bra as Jesse retrieved her extra set of nipple rings.

Jesse returned with a smile and the rings. The other set was about twice the diameter as the ones she wore around the base. They were also of a much heavier gauge. It was clear they would really stand out no matter what type of top was worn. She thought the larger ones made more of a 'statement' when she was out in public. Seldom did anyone ever look at her face. She doubted a third of the people even knew she was Asian because their eyes never made it up to her face.

Cammy watched it all but said nothing. She could tell without even scanning Jesse she was highly sexually aroused.

Savannah held them up to herself as she looked in the mirror.

"They would look beautiful on you, love." Jesse said.

Savannah liked the look. She also knew she may need to nurse again once she had another baby for Cameron.

"I think so too." Savannah said. "I need to wait a little while…."

Jesse knew Cameron wasn't done 'breeding' Savannah yet. No, it wasn't true. Savannah and Young Jesse did those things by their own choice on their own for their older Duplicates selves. Sure Cameron indirectly leaned on them, but Cameron always gave them a choice. Young Jesse told her there was never any pressure by any of the Metal girls for them to do it. If anything, the effect was actually the opposite. The Metal girls all wanted them to show restraint.

"When you're ready, you know where to find me." Jesse said. "For anything…."

Cammy shot Jesse a glance. She then remembered her words to John earlier. They were really all one big happy family, most of the time. She figured she would probably stop by Jesse's room herself soon enough. If Vanna was busy the next time she went out to look for her, she would stop by Jesse's room instead.

Savannah put her top on. Jesse remained topless. They both tried to call Gail. There was still no answer.

It seemed like something was off.

Savannah wasn't really sure how to address the issue. She thought about how Gail visited her room and went on the mission with her to find Cameron and Cammy. She knew Gail risked great injury to try to get to her when she thought she was trapped. She was well aware how little things could turn into an issue for two individuals.

"Was there a problem?" Savannah asked.

There was. Gail was totally in love with Savannah and conflicted over her feelings for Jesse about it.

"It's the same 'problem' we ALL have." Jesse said. "I have a way to 'help' with mine."

Jesse looked at a clock. Savannah wondered if she was waiting for someone.

Cammy picked up on the gesture as well. She noticed something else when she was in the hall.

"We need to leave." Cammy said.

They all said goodbye and headed out. They passed Vanna in the hall. It was clear she was headed for Jesse's room. They chatted for a few minutes and left.

Savannah looked back as Jesse opened her door, she was naked again. She saw Jesse pull Vanna into her room…. Her hands were all over Vanna as she did.

She was envious of where Vanna was going to be in the next minute. It made her long for Young Jesse or Jesse even more.

Savannah let out a little laugh. Cammy looked at her but said nothing. She knew Vanna was going to be 'HER' to Jesse right now. It was the funny part, it really WAS her.

Jesse's hands were all over Vanna as soon as she neared her door. She rapidly stripped Vanna as she groped her.

Vanna was a little surprised at the ferocity of Jesse's actions. It made her think of some of the times when she was cornered and captured. It was how the men stripped her clothes off. They couldn't wait to touch her everywhere. She remembered when it was light, and they could see things clearly, how they would all look at her. They were all amazed by her natural distinction. Maybe it kept her alive at times. Now wasn't the time to think about it.

"I missed you too." Vanna said. "Slow down."

Jesse couldn't slow down. She was close to a finish even, as she stripped and touched Vanna.

"I can't. I need you right NOW." Jesse said.

Vanna noticed the extra set of nipple rings on the dresser and a bra. It was different. Jesse never wore one and it wasn't big enough for Gail. She knew it was Savannah's bra.

She understood how it worked. Allison was 'Cameron' to her many times. Now it was her turn to be 'someone else'. To Jesse she was 'Savannah' right now. She switched off the light. Normally they left one on. They liked to see what was in front of them.

"Just don't touch my scar and I am her." Vanna whispered.

Jesse stopped for a few seconds. It took a moment for her words to sink in.

"Thank you." Jesse whispered as she continued to strip and fondle Vanna.

Vanna was excited too.

"You can call me Savannah…." Vanna whispered "I am HER. It really is my name…."

It seemed to excite Jesse even more. She was close to a finish and it put her over the top. They hadn't even started yet.

Vanna could tell she was in for a good time. Jesse really knew how to deliver. She was ready for more.

Savannah and Cammy left Cameron at her base to tie up a few loose ends. She was to meet them at the Resistance base.

Cammy called Cameron and left a message to pick them up at the park.

Cameron was a little surprised at the change in plans. She wanted to know why.

Cammy filled her in. She didn't speculate too much.

"I think Gail is at the park." Cammy said.

Savannah knew she needed to deal with it. She understood how Terminators could get sidetracked. Sometimes it was a little thing. Other times it was a big thing. Right now it was a small thing which was perceived as a big thing. She didn't want it to get out of control or take a negative turn. She viewed it as her responsibility to deal with.

"She's troubled." Savannah said. "I need to help her."

Cammy wasn't thrilled with the idea. She knew Savannah wanted to help. She saw how all the other Terminators acted earlier.

"It's where we're going." Cammy said.

They were both lost in thought.

Cammy wanted Savannah to know she was free to do whatever she wanted or needed to do. John was still fresh in her mind. She'd really like to pull one over on Cameron.

"Savannah, it's OK to do whatever you need to do to help her with her troubles." Cammy said. "There's always more each one of us can do to help another. Sometimes it's nice to have help."

Savannah wondered what Cammy really meant. The earlier conversation with Cammy and John popped into her mind. She couldn't help but think about the incident in her bed with John and Cammy. It was something they weren't supposed to talk about and act as if it never occurred. It was what she orchestrated. She realized it was going to occur at some point. She was pretty sure John would be a little more accommodating the next time the situation arose. It made her wonder how far things would have gone if John actually would have known it was Cammy instead of believing it was her. She was pretty sure each of them were willing to push things a little more than they did on their previous encounters.

"I will." Savannah said. "You know I always do."

Cammy knew Cameron wanted everyone to love Savannah. It was so she would never feel lonely, rejected, or replaced as Cameron was made to feel.

"You'll help her." Cammy said.

Savannah could reach any Terminator who was in some type of distress. She didn't want Cammy to worry about anything. The current situation could be handled verbally.

"She just needs to talk, for now." Savannah said. "I need to speak with her alone."

Cammy didn't want to be there with Savannah for what Gail would want to talk about.

"When we get there, if she's there, I'll wait for Cameron at the front." Cammy said.

Savannah knew there were other things they needed to do. She didn't want to be the one to delay them. There were more than a few individuals she wanted to see at their next stop.

"Call me when Cameron comes and then we will head out to Palmdale." Savannah said.

Savannah looked forward to seeing Allison, both of them. It also looked like she would miss another meal. It didn't matter. The others came first. There was probably an energy bar in the SUV. She didn't need it either. She could hack it.

Gail stood as she watched some children play by the swing set. They would push each other to go higher and higher. She watched them and a few others for hours. She was lost in thought. So many things seemed to happen in daily life. Things she wasn't designed to deal with. She was faced with many feelings, wants and desires. It was all so confusing and made her feel apprehensive. She knew she was happy with what she already shared, but there was a need for 'more' that 'called' to her.

The feelings were all so overwhelming. She knew this is what Cameron felt, ALL of the time. How did Cameron deal with everything? It was terrible. Her hand began to glitch.

Gail heard someone behind her. She thought it was some more children. She didn't turn to look at them. She thought they always looked scared when she looked at them. She tried to smile if she did. They seemed to smile back when she did. It was actually a very pleasant encounter when it happened.

She almost jumped as her glitching hand was taken in another's hand.

It was Savannah. She didn't say anything. She just stood there with Gail as she held her hand, the glitch stopped.

Gail felt its warmth and softness. She scanned Savannah.

Savannah knew and let her.

The children left.

Savannah led Gail over to the swing and set her down. Savannah gently pushed her.

They still hadn't spoken.

Savannah wanted to use an indirect approach.

"Cameron used to bring me here and do this for me." Savannah said. "It was when I was lonely and missed my 'mother'. I missed all of my family. Everyone was gone."

Gail knew how terrible it was to lose someone. The thought of Duplicate Jesse's termination always haunted her. Even though she didn't really die, she thought she did. She knew humans felt things much greater than Terminators did. She really couldn't imagine how Savannah must have been hurt and damaged by all of her loss.

"I'm sorry." Gail said as she slowly swung.

It was very peaceful to feel Savannah push her. It made her wonder what it was like to be a child. It seemed like it would be fun. She didn't have fun very often. In fact, she never had fun. It wasn't like other people when they experienced fun. She did the things Jesse wanted her to do. She didn't think terminating people was fun. She did understand the need to remove future Scavengers from the picture. What was done to Jesse and the other girls from the future needed to be prevented as much as possible going forward. In a Skynet future, everything would be terrible, especially Scavengers.

Savannah thought about the loss of loved ones. Time dulled the feelings for the dead for humans, at least most of the time. There were times when emotions could get the best of anyone. Maybe it was a way to honor those who no longer existed. It was about perception and reality to continue on. Everyone died at some point.

"Life goes on." Savannah said. "We need to keep moving forward and make our own futures and not live in the past."

Gail, like all Terminators, perceived the past as if it just happened when they thought about it.

"I don't know what to do." Gail said.

Savannah knew how things worked. She too wanted what wasn't hers to have. She could share it, but it still could never be hers. What each person did have was very important and precious.

"Don't lose sight of what you have, for what you want." Savannah said. "We all 'belong' to someone or more. As long as we remember who we belong to at the end of the day, there won't be any problems. When people forget, is when the trouble starts."

Gail remembered how upset Jesse looked when she left. Jesse tried to go with her but she asked to be alone for a while. Jesse reluctantly agreed. She was worried Jesse would feel she sent her away. It was actually her who went away. It was just for some alone time. It wasn't for anything else. She didn't want to lose Jesse.

"I know." Gail said.

Savannah knew how she could help Gail right now with part of her desire. She saw Vanna was in Jesse's room when they left. She knew Jesse would see Vanna as 'her'. Gail could too. There was no reason they all couldn't feel some happiness, even Gail.

"I would like you to go back to where you need to be." Savannah said. "Don't lose sight of what you already have. You'll find everything you want waiting for you."

They left the swings and walked to the edge of the park. Savannah took Gail's hand as they walked. She knew Gail wanted more but it wasn't the right time.

Cammy glanced at them. She didn't think a little hand holding by Savannah would hurt anything. She noticed it was Gail's left hand which Savannah held. She thought it said everything as to why she was holding it in the first place. More than likely Gail experienced some type of glitch. She was sure whatever the issue was would be overblown or misinterpreted. It's usually what most of them were anyway.

Gail went to pull her hand away from Savannah. She didn't want to cause a problem with Cammy.

Cameron arrived a few seconds later.

Savannah didn't let go of it. She held onto it and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Gail was very pleased Savannah still held her hand in front of Cameron and Cammy. It made her feel good about herself. Still, she didn't want to be a problem.

Savannah wanted to make sure Gail returned to the base.

"We need to drop Gail off before we leave for Palmdale." Savannah said.

Gail understood several things with Savannah's statement. Savannah's true mate was in Palmdale. It was Young Allison. It was a reminder to her of Savannah's future. It was something she could never be a part of. She could only ever hope for some scraps.

Cameron wasn't sure what the situation was. It looks like it was important to Savannah and Gail. She would hit Gail up later on and see if she could tell her anymore about what happened to her with her temporal extraction. Now I wasn't the time. Savannah sat in the back with Gail. She didn't want there to be any problems with anyone.

Gail was returned to the base.

When Gail went to her room, she did find everything she wanted. Like Jesse, she called Vanna, 'Savannah' as well.

Vanna didn't mind. It was her name and they were the SAME person. Between Jesse and Gail, they kept her in heaven a long time, over and over. Life was good in Paradise, and it just got better.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Get Them

What is better to see
Is it the sunrise or the sunset
Some people may say both
It's a pretty good bet

Then there are the stars
Just little dots of light
In ages past not to see them
Caused some panic and fright

Some think the stars are the future
They don't understand it's the past
Light takes millions of years to travel
Maybe what's there didn't last

The real question is the present
It is where things happen now
To be stuck in the past
Doesn't matter any how

For some of the people
It's easy to condemn
When they see a real gem
They need to go and get them

Nobody
