Chapter 847
Used Looking
John went to where Cammy was at in the main bedroom. She looked even more upset now than she did before in the bathroom area.
Cammy was angry. She didn't like what she saw.
"There's the bed." Cammy said. "It's heart shaped too…."
John looked at the open and 'used looking' bed and said nothing. He was sure it was what must have upset Cammy. The only people who could have used it were Cameron and Savannah. He got the feeling Cammy wanted to send him a message.
It made him wonder if something happened, but it didn't really bother him. It was going to happen sooner or later for all of them. What was the big deal anyway? A few minutes of shared pleasure here and there wouldn't hurt anyone, especially if they were all doing it. It actually gave him something to look forward to. He really looked forward to the time he would be able to spend with Savannah and Young Allison. He hoped to be with each of them at least three times a week. If they wanted to 'double up' it would be okay with him too. He figured once a week with Cameron would be plenty. If he could work Cammy and Anna into it as well, it would even be better.
Cameron liked to keep him bottled up at the base. He eagerly looked forward to his future when there would be others there to comfort him and share with him. He honestly hoped they wouldn't look at it as a 'job' like Cameron seemed to do most of the time. If he was going to be someone, he wanted them to want to be there. If they really didn't want to be there, then he really didn't want to be with them. Relationships like it sounded too much like what the future would have to offer. He hoped not to have to cross that bridge until it was necessary, if ever.
He took another look at the messed up bed. It didn't take much for him to remember what the name on the suite said. It was the Honeymoon Suite. He knew exactly what it meant. It was the same thing he booked for Future Riley when he took her to Mexico. He booked them into the Honeymoon Suite. He did it for all of the reasons it indicated. He wanted to take things a little further. He really didn't care what his mother thought. He didn't care what Cameron thought either. He already blew her off after she came to his bedroom.
He also didn't think about the implications of what it was for a couple of sixteen year olds to be in a foreign country on their own, 'playing house'. Wait. He wasn't exactly sure how old Future Riley actually was. Was she older or younger than him? He didn't think it really mattered at this point. She was dead because of her association with him. How it started was one thing. She died because she loved him in the end. It cost her life. It was another reminder nothing was free. At some point the toll would need to be paid. It could prove to be quite expensive.
CamNet kept Cameron and Savannah up to date on where everyone was at and what they were doing. It was clear John, Cammy and John Henry were in the Honeymoon suite now.
Savannah was a little worried she didn't police the bathroom shower area, or straighten the bed up. It was something she wanted to do before they left, but there wasn't time. It was clear if anyone looked around the suite it would be evident they showered and were in the bed. She was sure Cammy would attempt to scan the bed for both her DNA and Cameron's DNA. She couldn't imagine she wouldn't.
"It sounds like they're in the room now." Savannah said. "I didn't make the bed. I was in a hurry and forgot. We needed to leave to get to where we are now. I wasn't expecting the sudden interruption we experienced and how everything changed."
Cameron purposely moved Savannah along so she wouldn't have time to straighten the room up and make the bed. She anticipated the suggestion Savannah would make about a localized Control Center. She wanted to send John a message. She didn't mind if that Bitch, Cammy, received a message as well. She really didn't care for her attitude or the way she did things. Who did she think she was anyway? She really wondered sometimes how Savannah could put up with a Bitch like her. She was glad she wasn't like her. Maybe now wouldn't be a good time to bring up what a Bitch, Cammy was. She didn't like the way Savannah and her were interrupted. She wanted Savannah to know she sent the others a message.
"I didn't forget." Cameron said. "I left it the way I wanted it left, open and used looking."
It was the way Cameron wanted it for John to see. Maybe it would prompt him to act in some of her plans she formulated right now as they waited and watched the Grays. There was still a little more time until the train arrived.
She made contingency plans for every possible scenario which could happen. She would see things were done her way, and what she wanted done was actually done. She was tired of people not acting when she asked them to. She also planned to take what was hers.
Maybe the discovery of the Grays near the rail yard was a legitimate find. She didn't believe so. She believed the 'discovery' was only timed to interrupt Savannah and her. It was clear to her Cammy wasn't the only Bitch she needed to deal with. She really didn't understand what their problem was since both of them ran a version of her program. She figured it must be a decision they made to be the way they were. Since they didn't get it from her, they were both a Bitch by choice.
John looked at the open bed. It appeared to have been 'used'. He actually thought he should check to see if there was a 'wet spot' on the sheet but he quickly remembered there were no males involved. He would personally like to rectify the situation with both of them at the same time. It was an issue he needed to deal with, with both Future Riley and Cameron. He was fairly certain he would experience the same thing with Savannah, especially since she already delivered a couple of children. He wasn't sure about Young Allison, but Cameron shared her DNA. He really couldn't imagine things would be too different. How could they be?
He didn't want his mind to wander. He returned his attention back to the bed. The satin sheets were rumpled and it was obvious two people were on it. The two wet towels in the bathroom indicated they were undressed. It was just a guess on his part. It seemed to be the same conclusion Cammy came to as well.
John wasn't upset if Cameron and Savannah 'shared'. He knew it was in the future for all four of them. Cameron pounded the 'Natural Order' into everyone's head enough so EVERYONE believed it now as well. It seemed to be the most normal and natural thing. He was pretty sure it was anything but normal or natural. Just because things were a certain way in Cameron's future, didn't mean they were the same everywhere else or needed to be. They certainly were the same in the future Allison and Vanna were from.
He wanted to blame Cameron for everything but somehow the finger always came back and pointed at him, as Future John. It made him wonder what he would want for a younger version of himself right now. He would want him to be as far away from everything related to Skynet as possible, and to lead some type of normal life with humans surrounding him instead of machines and death.
Cammy wanted to move things along. It was clear John was a slow learner. She would need to help him out. She walked back and closed the bedroom door. John Henry was still in the main part of the suite. It could be considered a living room due to its large size. There would be no reason for him to access the bathroom and the associated rooms connected to it.
John wondered what she needed to close the door for.
Cammy walked back as sexy as she could and faced John.
John was enticed by her sexual demeanor.
Cammy looked at John and spelled it out. She wanted him to have sex with her. She wanted a couple of things known in the hopes it would entice him to 'grow a pair'. It seemed to be something he could never quite do on his own. She glanced at the bed and then at John.
"Do you want to give it a go?" Cammy asked. "I've never been with a male…. You can be my first. It's if you want a real virgin. I know for a fact my chassis has only ever been touched by females. You can have the honor of being the first male to share it."
It took John by surprise. He was actually thinking the same thing. He knew it was a slippery slope to go down. He quickly moved the thought out of his mind. Now it was back, dead center. It was when she asked if he wanted a 'real virgin' which caught his attention. Cameron always told him she didn't believe she was. She believed either Future John 'used her', or she was a 'Metal Whore' when she was captured by the Resistance. It really made him want to compare Cammy to Cameron in such a regard. He would really like to compare them to Young Allison. There was the true test of who did or didn't do what.
Cammy could see John thought about it and wanted to. She was ready to get 'busted'. She started to unbuckle her pants. There is no reason it couldn't happen right now.
John swallowed hard as Cammy started to take off her pants. He knew what it meant. She wanted a little more, and she wanted it right now. Somehow it seemed like a bad idea, no matter how much he wanted it. He felt he needed to issue some type of protest.
"Cammy, what are you doing?" John asked.
John was aware of what was about to happen.
Cammy knew John was a big boy. It should be clear what she was doing.
"I'm about to do what you want." Cammy said. "It's what I want too. I have what you want. You have what I need. It can just be a quickie. Nobody will know. You always wanted to know if we were the 'same'. Now you can find out. I want to see what it's like as well with a male. It will only take a couple of minutes. I'm all yours. Take me."
John could feel 'Little Willie' begin to respond. He didn't want it to happen. He really didn't have a lot of control once things started to happen on their own. He knew if he ended up at 'full attention', he wasn't going to be able to stop. He was sure Cammy wouldn't let him stop. If he was too excited, she would be able to take him anyway, if she was on top. He didn't doubt for a moment it was something she would do. He tried to point out the current situation and what they should be doing.
"We're in the middle of an operation." John said. "We have operatives out in the field at several locations. We have contact with the enemy. We need to worry about our people and pay attention. Things could take a bad turn at any moment. We don't even know how many of the enemy there are out there."
Cammy ignored John. She started to pull her pants down. She was sure once everything was right in front of John's face, he wasn't going to be able to ignore her and turn away. She would remind him again, it would only take a couple of minutes.
John couldn't let things get away from him. He stopped her from pulling her pants all the way off. She pulled them far enough down before he stopped her to see she wore the same sexy underwear Cameron did. It was just as skimpy too. It really made him wonder if everything was going to be the same. He really did think the two or three minutes spent with her wouldn't hurt anything. She was a clone of Cameron after all. Didn't it mean she was really Cameron? He was pretty sure if she put it in front of his face he wouldn't even last a minute. He really wanted to see if she was identical to Cameron.
He knew Cammy was angry at Cameron, not Savannah. Cammy wanted to get some 'revenge sex' in to 'punish' Cameron for 'taking' Savannah. He was ready to give it to her. 'Little Willie' was at 'full attention' currently. Things were only one or two seconds from going out of control.
Cammy made an effort to have John continue to pull her pants all the way down. She slid her underwear down part way until they bunched up against her pants which John held. She quickly exposed herself.
John saw everything with Cammy's latest move. Everything was right there and called to him. He knew he was going to take it. How could he not? It was clearly what she wanted. He knew there was only one possible thing to do right now. He quickly moved away from her and decided to make a break for it. He opened the door and left the room. There was no other way to control his animal desire and lust. If he stayed in the room one more second, he would be all over her and wouldn't stop.
He knew if he didn't get out of there right now he was going to do it with Cammy. He told himself again she was 'Cameron' anyway, so what was the big deal? He wanted to turn around and go back. He did want to see if they were the same…. He wanted to be with someone who was never with a male before. He wanted to be the first.
John continued to walk away. It was very hard to do. It wasn't just because 'Little Willie' was at 'full attention' either. It was because of all the lonely nights he spent alone when Cameron was off fighting the war on her own. He felt he was owed some payback in a sexual manner. He really didn't care who provided him with sex. With the lights off in a dark room, did it make a difference anyway? He really didn't think so. Once things started, they'd be over quick enough. They could sort things out when the lights came back on. In his dreams it was one of the things which happened. Sometimes when the lights came back on, it was Sarah who was there. It didn't really bother him either. It was a dream.
Savannah understood the implications of Cameron's statement about leaving the bed unmade and 'used' looking. They were close to going 'all the way' again, but even their first real mutual kiss still didn't happen. It seemed they were so close so many times, and something ALWAYS happened to spoil their moment. Sometimes she did wonder about what Cameron referenced if it may be someone who purposely interfered every time they were close to being intimate with each other. She thought about the incident at the pier. How could anyone have manipulated a small child almost drowning? The small child would have died if she hadn't broken off what would have been her first kiss with Cameron, and jumped off of the pier to save them from the rip current. Maybe it was just bad luck rather than manipulation. She wanted to know what Cameron's endgame was.
"Who are you trying to hurt?" Savannah asked. "Is it Cammy or John?"
Cameron saw it more as prompting people to act in the manner they were supposed to in the future. She didn't want to use the term 'force' when the term 'prompt' sounded less invasive than 'manipulative'. She didn't want to seem like CamNet. She certainly didn't want to be a Bitch like her.
"I'm not trying to hurt anyone." Cameron said. "I'm TRYING to establish the 'Natural Order'. John keeps interfering with the future. I have wants and desires too. I love you, Savannah."
Savannah honestly didn't want Cameron to rush things for herself if she wasn't ready. She didn't want to feel like she 'made' Cameron do something she wasn't quite ready for. She knew what happened to her in the future as Vanna. She wanted everyone to have a choice, and it was a real choice, not a forced choice. There was a difference.
"I love you too, Cameron." Savannah said. "Maybe it's just not time yet. It will be. It will happen. There are other issues we need to deal with all the time."
Cameron was very worried now. She didn't want to lose Savannah.
"I WANT it to be." Cameron said.
Cameron was tired of waiting. She wanted what Duplicate Cameron in her future shared.
Savannah smiled at Cameron and touched her cheek. Cameron reached up and pressed Savannah's hand against her cheek.
"I'll always be here for you, Cameron." Savannah said. "It doesn't matter how long it takes or where it actually happens. It will happen. I promise, Cameron. We need to deal with everything else as well."
They could both feel another 'moment' building. In a few seconds they would kiss. The magic was there again right now. Their turned faces slowly begin to move towards each other. It was what they both wanted.
Their coms crackled to life.
It was the end of the 'moment'.
There it was again. It was another untimely interruption.
"We're in position." Sheila said. "We have the Grays moving from their original position. There's no indication what prompted the change."
Cameron and Savannah both looked out through the screen covered vent. If the Grays were on the move, it seemed like a legitimate interruption. It meant the danger was on the move as well.
Savannah was a little worried. She just watched the Grays where they waited at for the last twelve minutes. Things were different now. The Grays were gone.
"Where did they go?" Savannah asked. "They were just there thirty seconds ago."
Cameron missed whatever happened as well.
"It's my bad." Cameron said to Savannah. "I was distracted and inattentive."
Savannah was worried now they lost track of the Grays.
"Sheila, where are they?" Savannah asked. "I lost them."
Ally watched them walk towards the position where Cameron and Savannah were at.
"How's it possible?" Ally asked. "They're headed for you. They're right there."
Cameron looked out and didn't see them anywhere. It must mean they were already at the building.
She looked almost straight down. The Grays were about to enter the building below them and a little off to the side.
"Tag their vehicle." Cameron whispered. "They're here…."
They heard the distinct sound of a door open.
Cameron motioned for Savannah to remain where she was and not move. She could hear the Grays were inside the building now. The danger level just went up dramatically.
John Henry already hooked up a few laptops he brought with him. If they were going to establish a Control Center there, he was going to need more gear, a lot more.
"John, it looks like the Grays have entered the building Cameron and Savannah are in." John Henry said.
John hurried away from the bedroom. He was very worried for both of them. He knew things would be different right now in the bedroom if he hadn't left when he did. He would be in the middle of doing things. He wouldn't want to stop until they were done.
"Is it an attack?" John asked.
John Henry was able to look at some images sent from one of the Metal girl's phones.
"It doesn't look like it." John Henry said. "They're not brandishing firearms. They didn't seem to be in too big of a hurry. Maybe they want to retrieve something."
John wondered about the time they were waiting for the train to arrive. With everything which occurred in the desert, the train was late.
"Maybe they are checking on something, or need to use a restroom." John said.
John looked around the suite, there were gift baskets of fruit, snacks, and candies all around. They were seemingly in all parts of the suite, along with a half dozen bottles of alcohol, with two glasses by each one. There were several miniature refrigerators located around the room as well. He hadn't actually looked in any of them yet. He noticed there was one in the bedroom.
The food cart was still there. It looked as if nothing was eaten, at least in this room…. He wasn't so sure about the bedroom with the heart shaped bed and the satin sheets. They were kind of used looking.
"…John…?" John Henry asked.
John was caught off guard. He was lost in thought about what type of sexual activity may have occurred in the bedroom between Cameron and Savannah. He wasn't sure what John Henry asked. He didn't want to seem like he was inattentive.
"It's fine." John quickly answered.
John Henry witnessed the same type of behavior enough to know John was distracted. His mind was elsewhere and thought about other things. It was probably Cameron.
He did a quick 'look around' when he entered the Honeymoon Suite. He wanted to know what all was available with their current quarters. He thought he understood what was troubling John. He saw the two towels in the bathroom, and the bed in disarray. He even touched the sheet and felt a few damp spots. He quickly analyzed the fluid and determined it was water from the shower. Evidently whoever was in the bed didn't finish drying completely. More than likely they were in a hurry to get to the 'next destination'. He wondered if they made it. It was obvious they already made it to the bed. He didn't detect any 'personal fluids' or even traces of them on the bed in the area they would be. He didn't plan to comment on anything about it unless he was specifically asked. His main concern right now was to get John refocused on the current threat.
Gail was unsure why Cameron and Savannah seemed to be taken off guard. She was worried about Savannah now. Maybe Cameron was having some kind of a 'problem' again.
"I'm going to go help them." Gail said.
Ally was a little worried about the stern look on Gail's face.
"They're Grays. They might make you as a Terminator." Ally said.
Gail didn't like her comment.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gail asked.
Gail became defensive.
Ally could see she hit a nerve, even though Gail didn't actually have any.
"Chill out." Ally said.
Sheila wanted to try to defuse the situation somewhat. She didn't know if she could. She wasn't known as the best mediator. She was probably most often viewed as an agitator or an instigator. She might even be viewed as a perpetrator.
"She means sometimes when you're 'upset' you can be a little brash." Sheila said. "I'll go."
Sheila shared Gail's base program. In addition, she possessed the memories and experiences of Jesse, through the 'Neural Interface'. It seemed to be where the 'darkness' which emanated and flourished inside of her originated from.
Gail and Ally both witnessed from past observation when Jesse or Sheila flashed their jewelry, it was the only thing people saw. It proved useful for defensive and offensive operations. It always threw the 'mark' off when they saw it. It was just something no one expected to see. It actually allowed Sheila to be a better infiltration unit.
Gail was still upset over what Ally said. Savannah worked with her to help her improve. She even asked Savannah to do the 'Neural Interface' with her. Savannah asked her not to change who she was because she liked her, for who she was already. The revelation made her feel content. She knew Savannah was truthful. She knew Savannah was always truthful.
Sheila headed out with only her Taser and pistol. She tagged the Gray's vehicle on the way when she passed it. It was another goal they hoped to accomplish in case somehow the Grays became separated from them.
"Watch over Savannah." Gail called out to Sheila.
Sheila gave a 'thumbs up' as she ran toward where the Grays went. She was worried about Savannah too.
Dan and Frank were on the outskirts of the city now. They wanted to give everyone an update on their position and the train.
"We've stayed in front of the train." Dan reported. "We're fifteen minutes out from the rail yard."
John wanted to verify they hadn't been 'made'.
"Has there been any indication anyone followed you or the train?" John asked.
Their only contact was with the motorist who offered them assistance. They hadn't appeared to be a threat of any type.
"Not yet." Frank said. "It can always change."
Young Allison returned to the bunker after she was able to get things smoothed out between Allison and Holly.
Anna brought her up to speed. The news she heard wasn't good news. There was no specific indication why the Grays were on the move.
"It sounds like Cameron and Savannah are in danger." Young Allison said.
Anna didn't think the threat was serious yet. They needed to hope things didn't worsen.
"It doesn't appear the Grays are going to attack them. They most likely don't even know they're there." Anna said.
Bob thought Cameron and Savannah would have plenty of help.
"Sheila tagged their vehicle and moved to reinforce Cameron and Savannah." Bob said. "I don't believe two Grays will pose much of a threat to Cameron, Sheila, or Savannah.
Young Allison felt it would be the case under normal circumstances. She looked Bob over as he looked at the monitors. She wanted to know a little more.
"Where are you going to go when we're done here, Bob?" Young Allison asked.
Bob received a direct transmission from CamNet as soon as Young Allison asked him the question.
"I was going to do some more recon. I've since been informed by CamNet I'm to follow your instructions." Bob said.
Young Allison wondered if she kept Bob away from his duties too long.
"It sounds like what you were doing is important." Young Allison said. "I've taken too much of your time as it is."
Anna was updated as she checked one of her monitors.
"Ken has taken over the recon Bob was on." Anna said.
Young Allison was still worried about Allison. It sounded as if Bob was available and would be able to assist her.
"Bob, I'd like you to take Allison and Holly back to the Resistance Base when you go." Young Allison said.
Bob turned and faced the stairway. He was ready for his new assignment.
"I can take them now." Bob said.
Young Allison knew how the girls 'made up'. It was something she saw all of the couples do.
"They need a few minutes…." Young Allison said.
Young Allison watched them 'make up' before, more than a few times. She was very aware when she watched Allison, she actually watched herself and what she would do as well soon enough. Somehow things seemed more passionate when they shared this way after a troubling time. Maybe with long term couples, the love making devolved into sex most of the time. It was during the times of trouble, when the love which was there resurfaced, and each individual conveyed their feelings to the other one as best as they could. The circumstances were terrible but the result was beautiful.
Cameron didn't like the change in plans. They went from a recon to having the enemy in their camp. She planned to deal with them before they became a threat to Savannah.
She told Savannah to stay on top of the crate. She hopped down and moved to a flanking position where the men were headed.
Savannah took another look out of the screen covered vent and saw Sheila coming at a run. She hoped the men didn't exit too soon and spot her running to where they just entered. She readied her Taser and pistol.
Cameron wanted to make sure Savannah was safe. She heard the Grays enter the building earlier. It seemed they used a key. It meant the building would need a thorough going over for anything Skynet related. It wasn't their first time there and they didn't break in. It made her wonder what other buildings around the area were compromised. Maybe there was more Skynet related equipment stored around there.
"One of us should have waited by the vehicle." The first Gray said.
"It's fine." The second Gray said. "We do this every few days. Nothing ever changes. At least it never has since I've been doing it."
"What about Sam and Pat?" The first Gray asked. "We lost contact with them earlier today."
"We'll go look for them after we inspect the two boxcars." The second Gray said. "I know you're worried about them. You know Sam is a reckless driver. They may be stuck 'off road' somewhere."
"I need to use the 'head' bad." The first Gray said. "I've got to lay off the spicy food. Now I'm going to have to 'pay' for it again. I always have to 'pay' for spicy food twice."
"TMI, bro…." The second Gray said. "I never knew how much I liked working flush toilets until we returned here to the past. Those Skynet latrines sucked."
"They were a little better than the Resistance ones." The first Gray said.
Cameron watched one Gray enter a small bathroom. The other one moved past her position. She was sure she wasn't detected.
It was clear to her both of the Grays were sloppy. What they did became routine to them. They were inattentive and careless. They mistakenly assumed because nothing happened yet, it wasn't going to. By the one Gray's response, it indicated he was a Resistance sellout of some type. He was probably responsible for numerous deaths associated with Resistance positions being compromised after he became a turncoat.
Cameron decided to follow him and see where he went.
The Gray she followed checked the large roll up door into the building. He then headed for the door Savannah and her used to enter the building. She forced the door open. If he checked it, he would know someone broke in. She didn't think the building was Skynet related at the time they set up their observation post. She only checked it to make sure no one was inside of it after they entered.
It appeared things were about to take a turn for the worse. The alarm might be sounded a little sooner than she anticipated. She also might need to act a little sooner than she wanted to prevent it.
Closing monologue by Cameron:
Used Looking
Not everything in life
Will be something new
Things one must often relearn
Are things they once knew
Each new day is a challenge
Even if one tries their best
It doesn't necessarily mean
They'll pass every test
Those who don't try
Are sure to fail
It's only to themselves
They should moan and wail
What isn't broken
Should never be fixed
Not everything is able
To be blended or mixed
One needs to be careful
Of what they start cooking
Before all is said and done
They may end up used looking
Nobody
