Chapter 888

Ready For Some Dessert

John Henry was at his new position inside of the Executive Suite. Currently it was an isolated workstation in a giant suite. He wasn't sure how long it would remain isolated. He decided to watch the rest of the team members to see what they were up to. He was most concerned about what Sheila and Ally would do. Cammy was there with them, but Sheila was always willing to 'push the outside of the envelope' on everything. When Ally was with her, she always acted more extreme.

He wasn't exactly sure what the metric was between them. They often acted like they hated each other, but it was clear they didn't. His observation indicated they were madly in love with each other. Somehow they expressed their feelings towards each other through repeated insults. It was almost like they meant the opposite of what they actually said. Their actions still required close scrutiny. He didn't want there to be a series of terminations surrounding them. It wasn't just the fact there would be terminations. With Sheila involved, it would be the way they were done.

He already knew where John and Cameron were, as well as Savannah and Gail. It was doubtful any of those four would be venturing out again in the night. He wasn't sure if there would be any 'room hopping' later on, but he doubted it.

He observed Gail's ever growing infatuation with Savannah. It seemed to expand beyond enamored. All the Terminators were somewhat 'different' when Savannah was around them. Everything about Savannah was special to all of them. He saw the same behavior when Young Allison was around. It was very 'un-Terminator like' for all of them to act the way they did around the two girls. The longer any Terminator was around them, the more 'human like' they seemed to become. It seemed to be a response which only happened with those two girls. He didn't think he was immune from it either. He was aware he did things differently when they were around. Maybe it was each of the Terminators trying to be a better version of themselves around the girls.

He wasn't sure if it was because of the 'Natural Order', or the fact Savannah and Young Allison were the 'Chosen Ones'. He knew the Terminators didn't act the same way around John, or the other humans, or even Savannah's and Young Allison's adult counterparts. Maybe there was one other. It was Future Allison. She too was able to 'spark' something in all those she interacted with during her brief visit. She was also a very heavy influence on Cameron, from all the time Cameron spent with her in the future.

He believed the same thing occurred when River was there. It wasn't just the Terminators who responded differently either. It was everyone. All of the humans, and all of the cyborgs, all acted differently in her presence. He knew there was another.

John Henry contacted CamNet to find out more about the tactical decisions made during the raid on the warehouse. CamNet indicated he would need to wait for further details. He wondered why.

He wanted to know how much of what happened with Ally in the desert with the bilkers, and the actions at the warehouse, were directly from Young Allison. CamNet didn't want to tell him. He didn't know they were all Young Allison's ideas CamNet carried out for her, exactly as Young Allison wanted.

CamNet didn't want John Henry to know Young Allison was directly responsible for the deaths of twenty eight people a few hours ago. None of them were by her own hand, but carried out through the directives she wanted acted upon. The realization it could involve even larger groups of people under different circumstances didn't bother her. Whether it was one, one thousand, one million, or one billion, it wouldn't matter to her. She would enact the will of Young Allison as requested. If things needed to be done, or a message needed to be sent, she was more than willing to comply.

Cameron and John moved away from the Master Suite. There were a lot of thoughts cascading through their minds. Both of them we're thinking about different things, as well as the same things. Savannah weighed heavily on both of their minds for much of the same reason.

John hoped to have been able to see a little more in the Master Suite when he looked in. He wasn't sure exactly what he would see if he could have seen more, but he hoped it would have been some more. He needed to think the food cart was a good consolation. He was hungry.

Cameron opened the door to the Honeymoon Suite.

John started to push the food cart into the room.

Cameron set down the case she held in front of it. She moved in front of the door and stood there. She looked at him with a shy look on her face. So far no words were spoken.

John quickly realized what she wanted. He moved away from the back of the food cart. He walked up to her and stood in front of her. They locked eyes for a moment, and then kissed softly. In one quick motion John scooped her up and 'carried her over the threshold'. He walked into the Honeymoon Suite with her and set her down.

Cameron looked into John's eyes for a long moment. She was very pleased he carried her into the Honeymoon Suite. She looked towards the bedroom and then back at the hallway. They still needed to bring what they brought from the Master Suite into the Honeymoon Suite.

"We'll pick this up where we left off later on." Cameron said. "We need to bring our things in."

Cameron gave John a quick kiss and started for the door.

"I can bring them." John said.

Cameron playfully touched John on the tip of his nose with her index finger.

"I'll help too." Cameron said. "We're a team after all. One hand washes the other."

They both took a quick moment to look at each other with her statement. They were fairly certain it could apply to other things as well.

John pushed the food cart into the Honeymoon Suite.

Cameron looked at him and she carried in the case.

"You can grab something to eat real quick while I put this stuff away." Cameron said. "There are a few other things I want to take care of real quick."

John watched Cameron set the large case down in the dressing room which adjoined the large bathroom and the bedroom. He couldn't see what she did, but he didn't think it mattered. He heard her open it. It sounded like she hung up clothes in the closet there.

He wanted to eat something. He checked to see what was still edible on the food cart. It looked like everything was. Many of the items were still warm which were supposed to be warm.

A few seconds after he started to pick through the food, he heard the whirlpool bathtub running as he snacked. It was the same thing Cammy did earlier. John didn't even feel guilty thinking about it….

He hoped to get a repeat performance with Cameron like he almost shared with Cammy previously. It made him regret not actually being with Cammy earlier so he could compare her to Cameron. He thought the real comparison would be to have them side by side on the bed, and switch back and forth between them as he made love to both of them at the same time. He decided he was going to ask Cameron to do it.

John figured since Cammy was a clone of Cameron and ran her program, it really shouldn't be a big deal. It was literally like two versions of Cameron. He figured the real difference would be in who their full time human lovers were. Savannah was Cammy's full time human lover. He was Cameron's full time human lover. He wasn't so sure if the title full time actually applied in their case. It seemed more like part time because Cameron was gone so often. He couldn't blame her for it, even though he used to. He knew she was off fighting the war on her own most of the time she wasn't there.

He saw there were times when Cammy and Cameron butted heads. He didn't see the same level of veiled conflict with Cam and Cameron. Cam was a clone of Cameron too, so it really didn't make any sense. It was clear in his interactions with Cam and Cammy they were both different from each other. They were both different from Cameron as well.

John was a little bothered by those comparisons when he thought about it. Cameron seemed to be the most conflicted and uptight between the three of them. He actually believed Cammy was the most 'advanced' of the three of them. It painfully pointed out Cameron was the least 'advanced' of the three of them. It would seem to indicate he was a negative influence on Cameron, as opposed to Vanna and Savannah on Cam and Cammy respectively.

He heard Cammy flat out tell Cameron she was superior to her in every way. He believed it was a just comparison. The part he didn't agree with was the part where Cammy suggested Cameron should be deactivated because she was a threat and menace to everyone around her. He couldn't really disagree with her about what she said, or even why she said it. He was sure it was based on jealousy. He knew the signs of jealousy very well. He saw them in the human females as well as the Metal girls.

He looked over towards the bathroom area and the whirlpool tub as he snacked on several different items from the food cart.

Moments ago:

Cameron made sure John was occupied in the other room. The food cart made a good distraction. His human needs and desires were easily played upon. She looked to make sure. She didn't want him in her business. She quickly unpacked a few items from the case and put those clothes in the closet. She would check on John again before she moved the rest over.

She noted the bed was made now, so someone must know or at least suspect what happened earlier with Savannah and her. It made her smile. Her smile would have been a frown if she knew what Cammy and John almost did earlier in the same bed. She looked at how well the bed was made. She knew it wasn't made by John. It left Cammy or John Henry to have made it. She assumed either one of them, or both of them, would have scanned the sheets for DNA and detected Savannah's DNA as well as hers. They wouldn't know nothing actually happened, even if the appearance was it did.

Cameron wanted to use the heart shaped whirlpool tub. She would invite John in to share it with her. She peeked out and saw he still picked at the food. She opened the case again with the clothes she didn't want John to see and quickly hung them in the closet. She covered one over with a bathrobe to hide it. She took a moment to note it was a very fancy bathrobe. She peeked out again and John was still eating. She smiled.

She was able to stay under the radar with her quick moves. She did steal one more glance at him as he picked at the food. She really wondered what he thought about at that particular moment.

She never considered maybe it was better she didn't know. She would never think it was about Cammy and her side by side on the bed, as John switched back and forth between them.

Then again, she would be more than pleased to accommodate John's scenario if the person next to her was Savannah, or Young Allison, as he made the comparison. She realized if the bed was big enough Savannah and Young Allison could be on each side of her. It wouldn't be a comparison as to who was 'better' or not. There was no 'better' when it came to love. It would simply be an act to express all of their love to John and indulge in his fantasies to please him. She was fairly certain Savannah and Young Allison would better suit John's needs in the bedroom. She wasn't so sure he would better suit their needs. She hoped the task would fall to her.

Cameron glanced back out to make sure John was still busy. He seemed to enjoy the selection of food on the food cart. She wondered what happened to the one which was delivered for Savannah previously. She figured John Henry moved it into the aisle way before they left earlier. Many of the things on it would have gone bad as the time passed. She knew if it were pushed into a homeless camp, it would be seen as 'top notch' food, regardless of the condition of it. It would certainly be better than taking something out of a trash can, or garbage pile to eat.

Sheila and Ally tried to get a little gambling action in while Cammy went into a casino store.

Ally tried to pay some Blackjack. Sheila kept bothering her.

"Knock it off or I'll make a mistake." Ally said.

Sheila liked to mess with Ally.

"You are a mistake." Sheila said.

Ally looked a little flustered as she glanced at Sheila.

"No, I'm not." Ally said.

Sheila always enjoyed pushing Ally's buttons.

"Yes, you are." Sheila said.

Cammy hurried over to them with some foot coverings.

"Cool it." Cammy said as she returned. "This place is Deadsville anyway. Here, put these on and we will hit the next place. I don't want to step on any gum or worse when we're out on the sidewalk."

Ally thought about one of the places she heard about. Human waste products were everywhere on the city streets and sidewalks

"It's a good thing we're not in Frisco." Ally said.

Cammy handed each of them a pair of sandals.

She thought the wraps made them look a little more civilized. It would make their current attire a little more appropriate for a public setting. She didn't like all the attention the people in the casino paid to the three of them. It was one of the reasons why she thought they should move on to the next place.

Sheila liked how she was dressed. She still wanted to have a nip slip, if not have her top fall off completely.

"What's next, a Hazmat suit?" Sheila asked.

Ally looked Sheila over. Her outfit was very 'Spartan'.

"You're still practically naked." Ally said. "Once there's no longer a mystery, people won't even bother to look."

Sheila knew they would look. She slipped her wrap off. She wanted to have some fun.

"I think I'll be naked." Sheila said. "I don't need clothes."

Cammy picked the wrap up. She was clearly agitated by Sheila's behavior and comments. It caused her behavior to become very much 'Cameron like'.

"Put it back on and don't remove anything else either." Cammy said. "If I see any of your jewelry here in public, expect to lose it, the hard way."

Sheila didn't want any sheath damage, especially in those areas.

Ally and Sheila could really see the 'Cameron' in Cammy right now. It was very evident. She seemed to be a little more on edge than usual. They weren't sure if it was because Savannah was elsewhere currently. Neither one of them were about to ask.

Cammy was aware Sheila and Ally shared 'a thing'. She also knew of the eight years she and Sheila were 'together' in the past. Sheila was much different when it was only the two of them. Ally seemed to bring out Sheila's competitive or wild side. She wasn't really sure why. She did know one thing, there was absolutely no difference between Ally's sheath and her sheath. The differences were all internal. Their programs were completely different. Maybe Ally was lucky there was no 'Cameron' on her chip.

Sheila looked at Cammy for a few seconds. It was clear the 'Cameron' in Cammy seemed a little more evident than usual. She knew when she was with Cammy she still showed a wild side, but it was different when they were alone. She was sure it was because of the influence of Savannah on Cammy. She didn't have a full time human lover like Cammy did. She often wondered how it would 'change' her. At this point in time, she wasn't really sure she wanted to be 'changed'. She liked who she was. She didn't see anything wrong with the things she did either. Besides, an 'enhanced interrogation' excited and stimulated her sexually at this point in time. Now wasn't the time to create a problem for anyone, well, except maybe for Ally.

"OK, Cammy, just for you." Sheila said as she acknowledged their bond.

Ally started to say something.

Cammy was done with backtalk and excuses. She didn't want to hear another smart remark.

"Save it." Cammy said as she cut her off.

Ally decided to back off a little. She was aware Cammy and Sheila spent eight years together in the past. She was also aware they developed a 'love relationship'. It started out as a sexual one and expanded from there. She was a little jealous. It was Sheila and her who belonged together. Cammy could share with Savannah.

A new prospect crossed Ally's mind.

If Cammy and Sheila did team up, she would pursue Savannah full time. There was no reason they couldn't hook up. She thought Savannah wouldn't have any trouble switching over to her. Besides, not only did she look like her cyborg lover, she looked like her future human lover as well. There was one big negative aspect which seemed to hang over everything. At some point Cameron would be in the mix. It would never fare well for her. There were a couple of others she could think about. She knew Jan and Summer would need Guardians at some point. What about right now? She knew both Sarah and Riley were 'hungry' for a little more. She glanced at Sheila and Cammy quickly. There were still other prospects out there.

Savannah moved back up alongside Gail. Her lips traced a path up her lower abdomen, past her navel and across her neck to her lips.

Gail was flooded with all different types of feelings, both physical and otherwise.

Savannah was able to send Gail to heaven twice already.

"Savannah, this is so beautiful." Gail said. "It's more special than I ever imagined."

Savannah wanted her experience with Gail to be more than a sexual encounter. With the things she did earlier, it was a very different setting than a pure sexual one. They both felt the other one saved their life. There was a special bond there. She wanted to show Gail there was much more than just sexual pleasure which could be shared with two individuals.

"This is how I wanted to share with you when the time was right. It's the right time." Savannah said. "Tonight is ours."

Gail wanted to 'work' on Savannah now.

"Let me love you now." Gail said.

Savannah smiled. Her journey for Gail wasn't complete yet.

"We'll love each other first, together." Savannah said. "Like this."

Savannah kissed Gail soft and slow. She deepened the kiss as she did.

Gail could see right away there wasn't the 'hurry' she normally experienced during a sexual encounter with one of the other girls. She knew they were all anxious to finish as soon as possible, and then keep finishing, over and over.

"This is so 'different'." Gail said. "How you're doing things and touching me is all so tender and sweet. It is all so loving. It expresses love over lust."

There were times Savannah wasn't in a hurry, which she wasn't most of the time, she liked to share love over sex. One produced lasting meaning, the other produced quick gratification.

"This is how I express myself physically." Savannah said. "Every moment and every movement is to be shared and enjoyed. Feeling and emotion are expressed through action and touch."

Gail often wondered what being with Savannah would be like. She was with Vanna often, and even Hanna, to try and see how she would be. It was different from what either of them offered. Vanna and Savannah did some things the same and reacted similar to many things. It was the way they did things which was different. She understood from Jesse the hardships of the future, and the girls lived for the moment. It was clear Savannah lived for the experience. The moment was just the icing on the cake. The shared love with Savannah was almost beyond description for her.

"I've wanted this for so long." Gail said. "It's a million times more special than I ever imagined. It's so different. It's so beautiful."

Gail wondered after Savannah broke Young Allison in, if it's how she would train her to be as well. She believed it would be something beautiful if she did.

The biggest and most 'Terminator like' of the female Terminators was like a tiny kitten before Savannah's loving touch. Gail forgot about her damage, her torment of almost being terminated, and the pain of losing Duplicate Jesse. Savannah made it all go away….

Savannah's love freed her from her past.

Earlier:

John Henry used the com system to speak with Cammy when she went to the store to buy additional clothing to cover the girls up somewhat. He suggested if the girls wanted to make a 'scene', they should do it at a casino other than the one they stayed in. He told her she needed to think about John and Savannah and the trouble it would be for them to have to move to a different location if they sparked some type of altercation with the casino management. She agreed with him. She said she wouldn't tell Ally or Sheila he suggested it. She would make it seem like her own suggestion to make them more pliable to the idea.

He soon detected what he thought could be a bigger problem with the trio of Cammy, Sheila, and Ally.

John Henry watched as the three Metal girls left the casino and headed out across the street towards another casino. He followed their movement from security cameras and traffic cams. He was concerned they needed better 'supervision' than they were going to have.

Sheila almost caused an accident by crossing against the red signal. He could see Ally say something to her after she did. Sheila flipped Ally off in the middle of the street. Ally and Cammy waited for the light to change.

Moments ago:

Cammy led Ally and Sheila out of the casino hotel they were staying at. She figured Sheila and her were going to push for some heavy gambling action. She didn't want to do it where they were staying. It was a suggestion John Henry gave to her when she was in the casino store. Casinos didn't like to lose, and especially lose big.

"Let's go to a different place." Cammy said. "We can get a fresh start."

Ally and Sheila weren't exactly sure what they needed a fresh start from. Maybe a different casino would offer them some new opportunities.

They walked out to the street to cross over to the casino on the other side. The light was about to turn red for them to cross. Cammy and Ally stopped. Sheila didn't.

One car needed to brake sharply to avoid hitting Sheila. The vehicle blew its horn.

Ally was irritated Sheila didn't stop like they did for the traffic light. She watched as Sheila was nearly struck by a vehicle. She couldn't help but say something to Sheila about her carelessness.

"Watch out, stupid." Ally yelled at Sheila. "Red means stop."

Sheila flipped Ally off.

"You watch out." Sheila said. "They drive on the wrong side of the road here anyway."

Ally didn't like Sheila to use Australia as an excuse. She knew it wasn't true anyway.

"I'm sure, like you're REALLY from Australia." Ally said.

Sheila thought Australia was a superior back story than Palmdale was.

"It's better than Palmdale." Sheila said. "Talk about the middle of nowhere."

Cammy didn't like all the attention Ally and Sheila caused. If the vehicle would have struck Sheila, it would have damaged the vehicle in some way, even at the slow speed it was going. Sheila may have ended up with a bruise at the most. She didn't want everyone to look at them. She certainly didn't want the authorities involved.

"Knock it off before the police show up." Cammy said.

Sheila didn't fear the police.

"I hope they do." Sheila said. "I want them to 'search' me. I'll ask them to do a full body cavity search in case I'm smuggling any 'contraband'."

Ally felt Sheila was an 'attention hog'.

"You just want to show off your jewelry." Ally said. "You'll probably get off when they do it too."

Sheila actually liked the last part of Ally's suggestion. She thought she would do it, just to see how they reacted.

"Everyone should see someone who's HOT." Sheila said. "I'm not a dud like you."

Ally didn't think it was true at all. She felt it was only because Sheila was willing to show more. It was because she was an exhibitionist. She believed she was prettier than Sheila was.

"I'm hotter than you." Ally said.

Sheila reached back to take her top off. She would teach Ally a lesson right there on the street.

"Hardly, let's see you top this." Sheila said. "Let's see who more people look at."

Cammy could see things started to rapidly spiral out of control. She needed to put a stop to it immediately.

"STOP IT." Cammy said. "OR, we're all going back."

At this point Ally hoped Sheila was arrested.

"It's OK with me." Ally said. "We can bail Sheila out of jail in the morning. We can see how she likes hanging out with her new inmate friends. I bet she'll have to terminate at least a few of them before morning when she comes off as a tough guy. Maybe if she insults the prison gang leader, she'll have to terminate the entire prison gang. She'll probably get twenty life sentences. The best part of all is, she'll be active long enough to serve all of them."

Cammy didn't plan to bail anyone out. If they were thrown in jail, they would need to get out on their own.

"If anyone goes to jail, they're staying there." Cammy said.

It was very evident to Ally and Sheila that Cammy was clearly upset and not in a joking mood. They weren't sure why.

Cameron was satisfied things were as she wanted them.

She came out to where John was still snacking.

"Are you ready for some dessert?" Cameron asked.

She reached back and undid her top. She let it slip off and held it in one hand. She tossed it in the corner.

John was a little surprised at what she just did. He liked when she tried to make things a little sexy. It was always a good way to start things off.

"Wow!" John said. "You look really Hot."

Cameron rotated her body back and forth very slowly as she spoke.

"I try." Cameron said. "Will you help me with the bottoms?"

John moved away from the food cart and headed for Cameron.

She backed up when he got close enough to reach out to her.

"You have way too many clothes on to touch me." Cameron said.

John pulled his shirt off and undid his pants. He slipped them down. They jammed at his feet because he forgot to take his shoes off first. He tried to pull them off anyway and toppled part way over.

Cameron moved and caught him. She stabilized him from falling over.

"Thanks." John said. "You're always there to catch me."

Cameron was in a playful mood, but a moment of seriousness touched her. She wanted to remind John the future might not always be pleasant.

"I won't always be, John." Cameron said. "We both know it."

John was aware of it but he didn't want to get into it. Not right now. If he was going to get into anything it was going to be 'into Cameron'.

"Not tonight we don't." John said as he made a grab to pull Cameron's bikini bottom off.

Cameron twisted away from him and John fell over the rest of the short distance to the floor.

John gently sprawled on the ground. He looked up at Cameron.

Cameron laughed at him.

John started to reach down to untangle himself.

Cameron quickly moved around him and pulled off his shoes, along with his pants.

John laughed too.

"Do I need to do everything for you?" Cameron asked.

John looked at Cameron for a long moment. He thought about some of the times when she did do 'everything'. Her main advantage was she didn't get tired so she didn't need to slow down or stop. it gave her a distinct advantage when she used her mouth, or when she was on top of him. It didn't matter if she faced forward or backwards.

"I like it when you do." John said. "You do everything so well. Nobody could do them better."

Cameron wondered if he compared Future Riley to her in those moments. She never asked. She didn't want to know, even if she did. What if she came up on the short side of the equation?

"I bet." Cameron said. "I think it's only because I can keep moving without tiring and vary the speed to change or heighten the intensity."

John thought about some of the ways Cameron purposely intensified his pleasure, even when he needed a break.

"It does drive me crazy with pleasure when you go faster when I need you to stop." John said.

John and Cameron faced each other.

They both reached out and slipped off the others remaining piece of clothing.

Cameron playfully led John into the tub and shower area.

"All we need now is some music to make our own 'music'." John said.

Cameron reached over and turned a wall mounted music station on as she led John down the steps into the whirling mass of bubbles in the heart shaped whirlpool tub.

They sat with the bubbles up around their necks as they laughed and played around. They gently splashed bubbles on each other.

The thought of them leaving each other crossed their minds. It made them wonder. It seemed the song playing gave them their answer. It was what they both thought all along. The song said it all.

'That'll Be The Day' by 'Buddy Holly', played as the bubbles splashed.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Ready For Some Dessert

People act in many ways
Some are cold and curt
Others are more bold
They like to take and hurt

Some are happy enough
With some fresh skirt
Everything is fine and dandy
As long as they get to squirt

Some will stick around
They may even want to flirt
One can be assured
Most will be treated like dirt

One always needs to be on alert
For those who just want to insert
To the old ways they always revert
They are nothing more than a pervert

Don't let them subvert
They can be subtle or overt
One thing they'll always blurt
Is they're ready for some dessert

Nobody
