Chapter 868

Hard Way

John didn't like the way things looked in the desert for Ally. She needed to wait for others in the Resistance to be freed up from what they were doing. They could then investigate the warehouse and take down whatever operation was inside of it. Now there was a new problem which developed. There was a large group of bikers about to pass her location.

Duplicate Cameron and the Duplicate girls experienced a run in with a group of bikers when they returned from the future before. It was River's future and she was with them as well. Right before Duplicate Cameron left River's future, River identified her as a weapon. Duplicate Cameron and River were separated from each other. They were both away from the Duplicate girls when the bikers cornered Duplicate Allison and Duplicate Vanna. Duplicate Jesse was in the rafters overhead. Things looked like they were about to turn bad for Duplicate Allison and Duplicate Vanna when River found two machetes on some of the motorcycles parked outside of the building and went to 'work'. Duplicate Cameron arrived seconds after River killed all of the bikers. It was when Duplicate Cameron understood what River was. River was a weapon.

John was aware the bikers were about one step behind Scavengers based on their past behavior. Their hedonistic lifestyle, extreme acts of violence, and total disregard for human life indicated the nature of their activities. The fact they trafficked both drugs and females only further indicated their uselessness to society.

"Ally, I want you to be careful." John said. "I don't want you to worry about them for now."

Ally intended to be careful. She didn't think her actions were the ones which would matter.

"I don't think I'm the one who needs to worry." Ally said. "I'm sure you remember what Cromartie did to the FBI SWAT team. Those individuals all wore protective vests and carried automatic weapons. They were trained as well. I'm just worried about some sheath damage from a bunch of future Scavengers. I need to keep whatever happens off of the highway, and away from the Skynet storage facility, or whatever it actually is."

John Henry zoomed in on the group of motorcycles as they approached Ally's position behind the building.

"It looks like a problem." John Henry said.

John looked at the bikers from the drone footage overhead. It was obvious they could use the drone against the bikers. It was going to leave a lot of questions later on as to what happened to the group of bikers once they were found. There was going to be a big mess somewhere which they weren't going to be able to cover up easily as to what occurred. If there was going to be some type of a confrontation, it needed to be done somewhere off of the main highway.

"I want to give Ally some options." John said. "She's right about not leading them any closer to the Skynet location. We don't want to tip our hand too soon, especially our drone capability."

John Henry wasn't sure there were too many options available to them. They all looked like bad options in the long run. They could protect Ally however and it's what it would come down to in the end. He was a little surprised when he received some information from CamNet.

"It appears I'm about to receive some new options." John Henry said.

John could think of only one source they could be from.

"Are they from CamNet?" John asked.

John Henry knew the source of his information was CamNet. As to whether they were from her or not, he doubted it. There was always another source at work in the background. The Young bunker was always hard at work. He decided to keep his answer simple.

"Yes." John Henry said.

John Henry was aware of the tactics and solutions offered from the Young bunker. He knew Anna was there with Young Allison. Anna ran Cameron's program, even if it was modified slightly. He knew Anna encouraged Young Allison to 'think outside the box' in every situation the Resistance was involved in. In the current situation it might be more of an 'off the books' operation, but it involved Resistance personnel. They were in the middle of doing Resistance work and needed to sit tight until it got dark. The arrival of the unknown biker gang was a complication which wasn't anticipated.

He was impressed with all the decisions he was aware Young Allison actually made on her own. Every one of them proved to be a sound piece of advice. Some of them seemed rather unconventional at first, but all of them proved to be what was necessary and were correct. He was sure there would be something similar he would be informed about.

Anna and Young Allison followed both of the operations from the bunker at the Young residence.

There was a drone orbiting around Ally at high altitude. It searched for signs of danger. It wasn't long until it found some. What it found wasn't Skynet related. It could still pose a threat to Ally. If Ally was threatened, it could compromise the upcoming operation with the Skynet building. They didn't want anything to happen to alert the Skynet forces of any threats to them, even if it involved a group of bikers and an altercation in the desert.

Young Allison spotted the group of bikers and alerted Anna to the danger they posed for Ally. She went over the reports by Duplicate Cameron and the Duplicate girls about everything which occurred in their encounter with bikers before. She was determined there wouldn't be a repeat of the incident. She was aware Duplicate Allison and Duplicate Vanna were in real danger. If River hadn't acted when she did, the Duplicate girls would have been savaged viciously by the biker gang. The end result would have been the same as if they were taken into a Scavenger camp in the future. It wasn't going to happen on her watch. She didn't know what the casino Control Center was going to do, but she did know what she was going to do. CamNet would back her play.

"We need to assist Ally." Young Allison said.

Anna could tell Young Allison wanted a fight. She thought it was the wrong position to take. They should let things play out peacefully and not become involved. The bikers weren't a Resistance matter. Any incident which was created, would need to be covered up in some way.

"The bikers should ride on by and not bother her." Anna said.

Young Allison thought it might occur if none of the bikers spotted Ally. If some of them did, and were able to get a good look at her, the situation was obviously going to deteriorate. In order for things to play out in Ally's favor, they would need to be in control of how the events unfolded going forward.

"I read the report on the last 'biker incident'." Young Allison said. "I don't want anyone to risk it. I won't put up with it."

Anna felt Ally could defend herself easily against a group of thugs.

"Ally will be able to handle all of them herself." Anna said. "You know how successful Cromartie was against the FBI HRT."

Young Allison knew of the incident. She wasn't sure the word 'successful' was the correct word to use in the context. It seemed as if 'devastating' might be more accurate. There was another incident which bothered her greatly. She was shown images by Cameron of what she looked like after she broke Sarah out of jail. Cameron told her it was what John did to her. She was obviously still upset by the incident. She would do whatever she could to prevent any other Terminator from looking the same way again. It further upset her to know they simply could have waited a few days and rescued Sarah when she was transported from the county jail to Federal custody. It was the same way they rescued Future Derek. She knew Anna's statement was correct, however it wasn't how she wanted it to play out.

"What you indicate is true, but I don't want Ally damaged." Young Allison said. "Remember, she was created in MY image. I don't like to see 'myself' damaged. I know it happened before with Cameron. I'm not going to let it happen in this instance. We will simply classify this incident as a non Resistance matter and we'll go dark on it. It will become an 'off the books' operation with CamNet. I'm telling you right now this is what is going to happen."

Anna didn't want Young Allison to kill needlessly.

"I don't think it will be a problem." Anna said. "Ally has everything under control."

Young Allison looked over some satellite images and some topographical maps she asked CamNet to provide to her. If her plan needed to be used, whatever happened would be on the bikers for being in the location when she acted. The choice was theirs. They could ride on and not bother Ally, or they could get a taste of the future. Either way it was their choice. Their own actions would determine what their fate would be. It was just that simple.

"Here's what I want, just in case." Young Allison said. "It's dark enough now and there are few people out on the road. Remember, what the bikers choose to do is their choice and their decision. If they don't ride on and accost Ally, they're the ones who came looking for trouble. They came to the right place. I don't like what Duplicate Allison and Duplicate Vanna needed to go through."

"You don't need to make it a personal act of vengeance." Anna said. "I understand your concern on several levels. How do you view this?"

Young Allison flashed her sly smile and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"My turn…." Young Allison said.

Young Allison laid out a plan with Anna's help and they presented it to CamNet.

CamNet then informed John Henry what was going to happen. It was going to be out of the hands of the casino Control Center.

Some images appeared on John's monitor. He didn't know what it was. He really wished he was in the Command Center at the Resistance base so there were more monitors available to him. A single laptop didn't cut it. He needed to rely heavily on John Henry to provide him with the images most relevant at a particular point in time. He was a little confused with what was on his monitor.

"What am I looking at?" John asked.

John Henry didn't know a whole lot more than John did. He was fed the information and was able to verify anything he wanted to. CamNet provided him the opportunity to make suggestions and give any input he thought was relevant. It was a little unusual.

"It appears to be an old excavation site of some type. There was mining activity there too at one time." John Henry said. "It's three miles from Ally's current location. It's literally in the middle of the desert, based upon what else is around it."

John Henry filled Ally in on the plan if she needed it. It was dark enough now for what CamNet suggested.

John understood the threat of Scavengers in the future. He realized all biker gangs would all be Scavengers in the future. He knew Cameron and the Metal girls dealt with future Scavengers all of the time on 'off the books' operations through Cameron's base. He too was aware if the bikers attempted to accost Ally and pursued her, then whatever happened to them was now their own fault. Their own actions would dictate their own demise. It was how things would play out. If someone wanted to play with fire, they shouldn't be surprised when they eventually got burnt.

"I can see the area is also very isolated." John said as he thought about it. "If they take the bait, I'll approve it."

John wasn't sure if it was something they needed to fool with. He was still upset with what the Grays planned to do with the new female they wanted to capture earlier. Gail reported what they already did to one female they captured and killed. The threat was now over. Those Grays were terminated.

John Henry was a little apprehensive about becoming involved. He was aware of what happened the last time some in their group experienced a 'run in' with bikers. Maybe a few less Scavengers in the future wasn't such a bad idea.

He didn't think it was going to matter if John approved of what was going to happen or not. He was fairly certain some version of it was going to happen. CamNet was the one in control of the situation. He didn't think John would have too much input once things started to happen. He knew he wouldn't.

He hoped the bikers passed and went about their business. If they stopped to accost Ally, they needed to learn what 'her gang' was capable of.

The 'Resistance Gang' could deliver quite a punch. The fact there was a drone to back Ally up was the Ace in the hole. The drone was designed to attack human targets as well as armored vehicles. A group of bikers on motorcycles would be considered nothing more than a 'soft target' if an engagement broke out.

Savannah talked and interacted with Cameron in the SUV. It seemed things improved greatly for Cameron during the time period. She wasn't exactly sure what the tipping point was. She wondered if it was because they didn't know who the group they were about to face was.

Cameron felt her earlier 'problem' was over.

"I want to move in on the target with you." Cameron said. "I'm fine now. Everything is perfect."

Savannah watched as Cameron's demeanor changed and returned to 'normal'. It actually happened rather quickly. She hoped it was because she intervened early in the process.

"You seem better now." Savannah said. "You were sort of out of it for a while."

Savannah held Cameron's hand and talked to her for almost an hour. After about half an hour, Cameron was herself again. She still talked with her. She finally released Cameron's hand.

Cameron looked at Savannah and smiled.

Savannah gently touched Cameron's cheek.

Cameron brought her hand up and pressed Savannah's hand to her cheek.

"Thank You." Cameron said. "I wanted to hurt them myself before, now I'm ready."

Savannah never liked to see Cameron when she wasn't at one hundred percent. It wasn't so much she thought of it as a 'mental illness' on Cameron's part, but in a way when she experienced episodes like that, it sort of was, even if it wasn't. She really didn't know what to equate it to.

"You made me a little worried." Savannah said.

Cameron was still bothered by the incidents of the past. She still felt very cheated by what occurred and how it was done.

"I'm sorry." Cameron said. "They made me feel things I didn't want to feel again."

Savannah still wasn't sold on the idea they were the anti-Metal group. There was no concrete proof as to who they were. It was the same thing she told Cameron earlier on multiple occasions.

"Cameron, we don't even know who they are yet." Savannah said.

Sheila was kept informed by John Henry as to what other events occurred elsewhere. She wasn't surprised to find out they were about to receive some assistance. She was even less surprised at who the assistance would consist of

"Cammy and Gail are three miles out." Sheila said. "They'll arrive very soon.

Savannah was pleased at the reinforcements which were about to arrive.

"Sheila, I want you and Cammy to lead." Savannah said. "Gail will hang back with Cameron."

Sheila didn't have a problem with it. She was tired of waiting. She would like to get things started.

"Where will you be, love?" Sheila asked.

Savannah felt her place should be in the front.

"I'll be right between Cammy and you." Savannah said.

Sheila looked at Savannah and smiled.

"Now you're just teasing me…." Sheila said.

Cameron tilted her head slightly.

"It sounds like a 'love sandwich'." Cameron said.

Sheila ran her eyes over Savannah's figure. She looked at Cameron as well since she was identical to Cammy. It was a solid visual for her. The thought excited her greatly.

"It's one sandwich I would like to take a bite out of." Sheila said.

Cameron's eyes were on Savannah. She lightly moistened her lips.

"I would too." Cameron said.

Savannah swallowed hard. She didn't say anything.

Frank and Dan were at opposite corners of the building. They were able to watch all four sides of the structure. It seemed somewhat strange there were no apparent lights on inside. Maybe it was because the current occupants were 'squatting' there and they didn't want anyone to know. Maybe they were just paranoid about everyone and wanted to remain unseen. The group so far exhibited a lot of unusual and strange activity.

"There's been no movement since the one man returned inside the house. It seemed very dark inside the house." Dan said. "I don't know what he did in the shed. Maybe I should go and take a look."

John didn't want anyone to get ahead of themselves. He wanted to make sure all the players were on the field and ready to act before things went hot. If Dan were spotted before everyone was ready, it might trigger the battle to start.

"Hold for now." John said. "It probably isn't of too much importance, otherwise it wouldn't be stored outside of the main structure."

Dan could think of several things they wouldn't want to store in the structure. It was also possible there could be a hostage tied up there. He didn't want to start a chain of speculation without any facts to back it up.

Frank monitored the other two sides of the structure. Everything was dark he could see as well. It did seem highly unusual.

"I don't have anything either." Frank said. "I don't see any lights on from my angle. The structure appears totally unoccupied from the outside."

John needed to contemplate the information for a moment. It was possible the team may have been detected, and the men inside waited for them to approach.

"It doesn't sound good." John said. "Do you think they 'made' you?"

Dan didn't think he'd given anything away.

"It's doubtful." Dan said. "I'm well concealed. I haven't moved."

Frank looked around his position of concealment.

"I am concealed as well." Frank said.

Dan was the one who initially followed the men when they left the rail yard. Frank was with him. He'd noticed from the beginning their actions were very strange.

"Their behavior was very paranoid when they left the warehouse by the rail yard." Dan said. "They were very cautious. Something looked off from the moment they left the rail yard."

Sheila still found it strange they didn't wait until the boxcars actually arrived before they left.

"They didn't stick around the rail yard very long at all." Sheila said. "It was our first clue something was up with them."

Savannah didn't like the fact the building was dark. She hoped they weren't being set up. It was always a possibility. All of them concentrated on viewing the structure. They needed to remember what else was around them as well.

"I want both of you to check behind you and around you in detail." Savannah said. "Look for anything which seems out of place."

Frank immediately, but carefully, searched everything on both sides and in back of him.

"I don't see anything different." Frank said.

Dan carefully looked as well. He was glad he received the reminder from Savannah. He was a little surprised at what he detected. He spotted a surface contact.

"I do." Dan said. "I just spotted movement off to my side. I may have to go dark."

Savannah was immediately alarmed. It appeared what she feared may be about to go into play. She didn't want to take any chances.

"Dan, I want you to pull out now." Savannah said.

Savannah was worried Dan was targeted. It was possible the man who went to the shed detected him earlier and some type of contingency plan was put into effect.

Savannah was with Cameron and Sheila near the SUV.

The new development was a problem. It was an unknown threat which seemed to have suddenly appeared.

"Sheila, I want you to reinforce the area where Dan is at." Savannah said. "What do our drones show?"

John Henry was a little surprised at what was spotted. It hadn't been there just a minute ago.

"I have detected two figures moving near a house, two houses away from Dan to the east, on the street in back of them." John Henry said.

Savannah wasn't sure how someone was able to get near their area of operation unobserved. Whatever it was, it was some kind of trouble.

"Where did they come from?" Savannah asked. "Are they armed?"

Savannah was very worried since they were watching the house for a while, maybe they were 'made'. The occupants seemed overly paranoid to begin with and may have called in reinforcements. They might have an escape tunnel too. They could have sent some operatives out of it to attack them. It was possible the reason why the structure appeared dark was because no one was in it any longer. It might just be one big booby trap at this point.

It could also be an attack by the group of Grays that Cammy and Gail recently took down. Maybe their associates couldn't reach anyone at their location, or the two men who died in the truck on the bridge. It might have set off an alarm. Maybe this was a retaliatory strike. It seemed probable if one group knew about the other, the other group may know about them as well.

Savannah looked around again. It might be time to pull out and let events play out. They could do much like Cameron did in her 'off the books' operations and let the two rival groups decimate each other. She would then move in and terminate the victors. They could do the same thing there.

Whatever it was, they were in the middle of it.

John Henry was able to determine neither of the two individuals carried long guns. If they did, they were concealed and they didn't hold them. There were still plenty of much smaller weapons which could put out a lot of firepower and be more easily concealed.

"They're not carrying rifles." John Henry said.

Cameron quickly contemplated some of the other scenarios she encountered dealing with the groups from the future as well as the drug and sex trade. There were a lot of options when things were unknown. There was one less sinister option which might be involved with the current situation.

"They could be more of this group, Grays, Fanatics, or anti-Metal operatives." Cameron said. "They may be common crooks or burglars."

Savannah was aware Gail and Cammy were almost there. She redirected Cammy and Gail to come in behind the unknown men and trap them between Dan and Sheila.

Cameron watched the house the men they followed were in.

Savannah quickly realized Cameron was going to move on her own if shooting broke out. She wanted to let Cameron know they would be together. Cameron wouldn't act alone.

"Cameron, if there is any shooting, we may need to assault the house." Savannah said.

Cameron planned to do it anyway.

"I'm ready." Cameron said.

Savannah wanted to make sure the assault team for the house was ready. They would operate with fewer personnel than originally planned if they needed to move now.

"Frank, be ready to move. If the rest of our team needs to start shooting, we will need to move on the house." Savannah said. "We're not going to be able to delay and allow them to put up some type of a defense if they don't already have one up and ready."

Frank checked around his area again and turned his attention back to the structure.

"I'm ready to move." Frank said. "There's nothing else happening in my sector."

Savannah felt Cameron was ready to resume command. She didn't want to overstep her bounds or be disrespectful to Cameron.

"Cameron, do you want to take over again?" Savannah asked.

Cameron was back up to speed for quite some time. She wanted to let Savannah make some decisions on her own. She was very pleased with all of them. She felt Savannah operated very much in the same manner she would.

"OK. You did all the things I would have." Cameron said. "I'm ready to move now."

Savannah thought about what Cameron said in regards to common crooks. She really hoped it was something simple. With all the groups and play it probably wasn't.

"If it's more than common crooks, this whole area could be compromised." Savannah said.

Savannah and Cameron rechecked their vests and weapons. They were ready to move in if things got hot, well, hotter at this point.

Savannah still felt it was the right decision for them to wait till darkness before they made their move. They would be able to use all of their weapons at this point and wear their body armor. She had a feeling they were going to need it.

Derek didn't want to press the issue. Holly was there and ready to accompany him.

He gave Riley a kiss and left with Holly. He left the girls all alone. It was all going to be a discussion he really didn't need to hear. He would have liked to have heard it for future reference, but he didn't want to embarrass anyone or prevent them from talking freely. He could understand there were personal issues they didn't want broadcast to everyone.

Riley watched as Jesse carefully switched breasts as she nursed Precious.

She witnessed a lot of different looks on Jesse's face over the years. The look she saw now was one she never saw before. It seemed to be a look of contentment and fulfillment. There seemed to be joy or happiness released from somewhere deep inside Jesse. It was almost like something was unlocked.

Jesse noticed Riley check her out. Maybe Riley was just watching Precious. She still felt the need to say something. It was something which mattered to her greatly.

"I never thought I'd ever do this." Jesse said. "It's very special. My body can actually help someone for once."

Jesse actually felt proud of herself for a change. Maybe she felt complete. Maybe complete wasn't the right word. She certainly didn't feel worthless, or like a sex object anymore.

Vanna understood exactly what Jesse meant.

"I feel the same way." Vanna said. "It is a special feeling. It's more special than special."

Riley was thankful for the help and Precious could have plenty of nourishment now. It was a practice from the future which could actually benefit Precious and her.

"I want to thank both of you." Riley said. "Everything slowly began to overwhelm me. I felt I needed to ask too much from Sarah. I shamefully felt it was to the point where I disrupted her life. I don't want to disrupt yours either. I don't want to be a burden to anyone."

Allison ran the proposal to have them take turns in the spare bedroom, or the idea of installing a door to one or both of the rooms next door on either side.

Riley liked both ideas. She thought Derek might want to have the doors installed instead. He didn't wear a lot of clothes sometimes. She thought it would be better if there was a separate area for the girls to be when they nursed Precious. It would also allow them some personal space to be with each other when they weren't 'needed'.

Jesse actually didn't think it was a big deal. It certainly wasn't anything new.

"Look, love, we've all seen Derek naked before." Jesse said.

Claire looked around a little nervously.

"I haven't." Claire said.

The girls all laughed.

"You haven't missed much." Riley said.

The girls all laughed again.

Claire decided to go check on Summer. Hanna went with her.

Riley worked out a schedule with Vanna and Jesse.

Allison didn't want the entire burden to fall on the other girls.

"I can't nurse, but I can help." Allison said.

Cam didn't sleep.

"I can take over any other night time duties except feeding." Cam said. "It won't be a problem."

Jesse knew Gail didn't sleep either. Gail wasn't there to ask, but she thought she would assist as well, especially when she was there with Precious.

"Gail might help as well." Jesse said.

Riley felt she disrupted some of the Resistance operations previously.

"Savannah and Cammy have tried to assist me too, but it seems they are always out and busy." Riley said. "They're able to help whenever they're around."

Vanna could have done without the reminder about Savannah.

"Savannah is in high demand for everything." Vanna said. "Cameron is pushing her too hard."

Allison felt she slacked off far too long. She didn't like Savannah to take all the heat.

"Cam, I want you to let Cameron know I want to do more." Allison said. "I want to share some of the burden Savannah faces daily."

Vanna wanted to be useful elsewhere too.

"I do as well." Vanna said.

Jesse felt a new sense of commitment about everything.

"Me too…." Jesse said.

Riley felt a little guilty about all of it. She actually wondered if combat wouldn't be easier than taking care of Precious.

"I would try as well, but now I need to help Precious." Riley said. "I haven't been able to do much the last few months."

Cam was very pleased to hear all the girls were still in the game.

"I'll let Cameron know." Cam said.

Cam knew Cameron wanted to keep the girls out of harm's way. Cameron was content to keep them barefoot, pregnant, and out of any unnecessary danger. She knew both Vanna and Allison were going to be mothers, sooner than they knew.

She would also mention to Cameron it appeared Jesse was ready to progress to being provided with a child as well. She saw Jesse's instincts come alive as she nurtured Precious. She thought about it a little bit further and realized it wasn't just Jesse's motherly instincts which came alive. It was Jesse herself who came alive.

She would be interested to see how things played out going forward with Young Jesse. She was aware she wanted to have a traditional conception for her next pregnancy. She wondered if Cameron would actually grant it or not. Since it was for a greater cause, maybe it would happen.

Claire left the 'girls' behind and went in search of the real girls.

Claire found Jan and Summer being entertained by Bob.

Bob made animal sounds for them for all the animals they could think of.

Jan came up with two creatures Bob experienced some difficulty with.

"Why can't you do a dragon or a unicorn?" Jan asked.

Claire walked into the room. She thought she could provide a good answer for them. It was an answer she was once given by her mother when she was younger.

"It's because they're magical." Claire said. "You can only hear them, when you see one in person."

Summer already told Jan earlier what the real story was. She mentioned it again.

"They're 'make believe'." Summer said. "They aren't real."

Everyone looked at Summer and then at Hanna.

Hanna and the Metal girls at the Young residence were instructed by Cameron to make sure the girls there always knew the truth about things. At least the things Cameron didn't alter. She didn't see what the problem was.

"What?" Hanna asked. "Cameron wants all the girls to know the truth about everything. It's the way it needs to be."

Claire felt a little differently about children.

"Young ladies sometimes need to be a Princess, and the Princess needs to have a Prince." Claire said.

Hanna was aware what the destiny was for all of the girls.

"The girls ARE all Princesses and John is their Prince." Hanna said.

Jan giggled.

"John is my brother, silly." Jan said. "He can't be a Prince. He's the King and Cameron is the Queen."

They could all agree Cameron was the Queen.

Cameron was the Queen Of Hearts….

Ally was behind an old building when she heard the thunder of the motorcycle gang. There were only fifteen bikes in the group and twenty riders. If they continued on their way, there would be no problem. She would let them pass and forget about them. She doubted it would happen. The desert biker gangs were known for a lifestyle of drugs and crime. She was aware some of the bikers were doubled up so if they encountered any motorists along the way in one of their vehicles, they would be able to terminate the motorist and take their vehicle. It could be sent to a 'chop shop' and stripped and provide money for the gang. Any females would be savagely abused before their termination. Some were sold below the border. It was never the older ones.

She watched as the first part of the biker group rode on by. Maybe they would all pass and everything would be OK. She tried to remain as concealed as possible given the limited options.

The last five bikes slowed and turned in. Ally saw the other ten bikes slow and turn around.

It looked like it was going to be the hard way.

It isn't what Ally wanted, but if they brought the fight to her, she was ready to fight back.

She was on board with the plan put into place if this eventuality occurred.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Tell Me The Truth

I know I'm not a whole lot
There's much left to desire
Deep down inside of you
You know there burns a fire

What has happened
Wasn't entirely my fault
Everyone knows what could
Have been the tragic end result

I know you're angry
I'm not the only one to blame
Is this just to hurt me
Or for real and not a game

I can see what's happening
You're doing it in my face
You're hurting me deeply
Making me feel such disgrace

I've seen you alone together
Driven by the hunger of youth
Are you ever going
To tell me the truth

Nobody
