Chapter 935


As You Wish


CamNet informed John Henry of a new development. Young Allison was about to enter the target area where Cameron's team was at. He relayed the news to John. He was sure the news wasn't going to go over very well. He debated when to inform John. Now would be as good a time as any. Nothing was going to change.

"We have a new development." John Henry said. "I don't think you'll like it."

John looked at the various monitors and then looked at John Henry.

"What now?" John asked. "How does this get any worse?"

John Henry was aware everything was going to happen in the next couple of minutes. It seemed to him things could always get worse.

"Young Allison is about to arrive at the scene of the truck take down." John Henry said. "I was just notified by CamNet."

John Henry waited for John to slam his fist down on the table. It didn't happen this time, not yet anyway.

John clenched his jaw tightly and gently shook his head from side to side. He gritted his teeth slightly. He really wondered what was wrong with all of these people. It was like they didn't get it.

"Now I'm sorry I asked. It just got a lot worse." John said. "It's unacceptable. I don't want her, or any of them actually, in the danger zone of a nuclear weapon which may go off at any moment. I don't know if I should blame Cameron for this or not. Even if she isn't directly responsible, she's indirectly responsible with her involvement in Young Allison's life. If anything goes wrong, or happens to Young Allison, it's Cameron's fault."

John Henry saw it more as the events of the future already happening. He was aware John always experienced trouble with his destiny, as well as the others.

"It's her destiny." John Henry said. "The future is unfolding as it was intended."

John didn't agree. He looked around the Command Center to make sure there were no unscheduled visitors. It didn't seem like information they should broadcast to anyone.

"I wonder what her mother would think about this." John said. "She's young, even as a teenager."

John Henry believed her future mates would watch over her. Every Terminator there would do the same thing.

"Cameron and Savannah will protect her." John Henry said.

John's response wasn't the reaction John Henry expected. It seemed John accepted Young Allison being there. It soon became evident why John was onboard the new development, even if he didn't want to be.

John didn't agree Cameron and Savannah would protect Young Allison. He didn't believe it was the case with the current events. He believed it was just the opposite. He wanted Cameron and Savannah protected. Young Allison was there to do it. He didn't know all the details, he didn't have any specifics. He felt he only had a general overview of whatever the situation was. He didn't think anyone knew exactly what was going on.

"I think she's there to protect Cameron and Savannah." John said. "If you want to know the truth, I really believe it. She will attempt to go with either one of them who tries to do something on their own. She will prevent them from going into the mine."

John Henry tilted his head slightly to the side with John's proclamation. He thought about it for a few seconds and realized it was probably actually the case. It appeared if nothing else, Young Allison retroactively corrected whatever problem occurred in the mine. The event somehow was in the future, but she 'fixed' it when she was sent to the past. It seemed there needed to be a lot of temporal involvement. No doubt if Cameron was involved, there was probably some type of 'temporal malpractice'. He realized it might actually be the same with Young Allison's efforts as well.

From the additional information he received. John Henry was sure it was the case. He was aware events from their near future, set events into motion in the past, to protect the present.

Young Allison was about results, like Cameron was. It was clear she was less reserved than Savannah on how those results were achieved. To bend a few rules was only part of the game to her. The game to her was to win. How it was done could be addressed later. It seemed Cameron and Young Allison instilled this belief and then reinforced it with each other.


Previously:

Bob made sure he let them off at the airport in Las Vegas with some equipment. CamNet reminded him to make sure they took body armor with them. Young Allison arrived with her special vest. It was custom made and specially reinforced. Cameron made sure Young Allison's reproductive tract was protected.

Young Allison and Anna armored up as they flew.

Anna watched as Young Allison put on her protective gear while she flew. Young Allison was able to do everything seamlessly. Once her protective equipment was on, she checked her weapons again. She wanted Young Allison to remember what her limitations were in the upcoming encounter. Young Allison's safety and protection was her responsibility. It was her function. It was her job. It was the reason for her existence.

"I don't want you in combat." Anna said. "The vest is for your protection. It's defensive for you. You're not to use it for offensive use."

Young Allison was aware whenever possible, she was to wear a specific vest to protect herself.

"I noticed the vests for my mother, Summer, and me all have extra protection in the lower abdomen." Young Allison said.

Anna was well aware as to what the reason was. Cameron made sure each of the female's reproductive tract was protected more so than with a standard vest. If anything terminal were to occur, anything which could be harvested from them could be implanted in another version of the same human female or a close relative.

"Yes." Anna said. "They are all specially made. It's Cameron's personal design modification. Your reproductive organs must be protected. They are very important and irreplaceable."

It made Young Allison wonder what Cameron planned for her over the years. It was clear what Cameron wanted from her. She planned to 'deliver'. There were times when she wondered if her first pregnancy would be from the traditional method of conception, or the method used on the other girls. If it was done artificially, she wanted to be with Savannah before her delivery. She wanted Savannah to take her first. If John wasn't going to do it, she wanted Savannah to be the one to 'pop' her. She shook her head slightly to clear her mind. It wasn't a road she wanted to cross right now. She needed to worry about a different road.

"Oh, brother…." Young Allison said. "I knew you were going to say that."

Anna didn't think there was anything wrong with Cameron wanting to protect the girls and protect everything about them.

"You are very special to Cameron." Anna said.

Young Allison was aware of what was important to Cameron.

"I know what she wants from me." Young Allison said.

Anna and Young Allison shared a long silent look.

Anna wondered exactly what Cameron may have said to her.

"She told you?" Anna asked.

Young Allison didn't believe it was a big deal. It was something she heard her entire known life in one version or another. It was really like part of her training. She didn't know it when she was 'conditioned' nightly on the subject as well. The nightly 'conditioning' sessions were much more specific and direct as to what was expected of her, and what she would do for Cameron specifically.

"Indirectly…." Young Allison said. "I've already promised her I will be at John's side and I will have a baby for her. It will be 'her baby', not mine. I'm viewed as 'not old enough' for either. It's my belief I'm old enough for both of them actually. I know she made Savannah promise to do the same things, even younger than I'm now."

Anna knew Savannah ran a lot of interference for Young Allison. She wondered if Young Allison sought approval from Savannah, or if she would act on her own.

"Have you discussed this with Savannah?" Anna asked.

Savannah often spoke personally with the Young Allison about her future and about her body. Savannah always wanted her to be in control of her own body and any decisions regarding it or any of its functions. It was something Savannah was adamant about. She said there were certain things which once they were done, wouldn't be easily reversible for anyone involved. She could tell it bothered Savannah deeply whenever she talked about it. Savannah said she needed to go through it twice. She would probably need to do it one more time for Cameron as well.

"We've discussed many things." Young Allison said. "Savannah has forbidden me from having a child for anyone once I was able too. I know she did. Hers was supposed to be for Cameron. Things worked out a little differently than she planned."

Anna was aware of the situation and condition Savannah's first pregnancy played out in. Events occurred that were beyond any of their control.

"Things changed. It was unsafe to send the baby back through time." Anna said. "Those events were unforeseen."

Young Allison knew it was a painful subject for Savannah

"I know everything." Young Allison said. "Savannah told me how much it hurt her to do it, twice. It's why she's forbidden me from doing the same thing. She made me promise her not to, or at least come to her first. I know she won't stop me with whatever I want to do, even if I speak with her first. I know she wants to warn me again before I make any decisions which are permanent, in one way or another. I know it's because she loves me and cares about me. I plan to respect her wishes in all regards and not do anything behind her back. I know it would hurt her deeply if I did."

Anna thought it was watchful of Savannah and showed concern. She also believed Young Allison's body belonged to her and she should be the one who made any decision regarding it.

"Savannah is very special." Anna said. "I update the 'Neural Interface' with her every few months. I too feel the pain she experienced over those 'events'. I know for a fact she does not want you to ever need to face the same pain. She will do anything to protect you in every arena you are involved with."

Young Allison felt very focused on her future. There were many things she would need to step up and do she previously hadn't done. There were certain things only she was going to be able to do. She planned to do them.

"I plan to do what I need to do, when I need to do it." Young Allison said. "Whatever it is…."

Anna was very pleased with Young Allison's resolve.

"It's been part of your 'training'." Anna said.

Young Allison felt there were many things which were part of her 'training', without being actual training. She knew the thing Cameron wanted the most was her baby, a child from her. It was to be John and Cameron's child, as their own child.

Savannah warned her repeatedly about this and how it would hurt her inside to do it. It allowed her to feel Savannah's pain as she spoke about it, they would cry together sometimes. Savannah told her it would be much less painful, and much less personal if she were simply to donate the genetic material and allow her mother to carry and deliver the child. She wouldn't have the same emotional, or even physical attachment as if she carried and delivered the infant herself. It was something her mother would do for Cameron, and for her. It didn't seem it would be a really big deal for her personally if things were done in such a manner.

Young Allison took a deep breath. She didn't need to dwell on it now. It was too soon for her to worry about it. Things were going to get hot soon. She needed to focus on the here and now, not the 'what if' and 'maybe'.

Young Allison checked her heading and the map.

"We should be at the target area very soon." Young Allison said as she scanned the horizon.

Young Allison wasn't looking for combat, but she wanted to do her part to make the operation a success. If combat came, she wasn't going to back away from it. She was trained in multiple scenarios. What she was about to do wasn't one of them. She wondered what it would be like to 'dead stick' the aircraft down onto the road with big rigs barreling towards it on a bridge over a dry gulch. What if they didn't stop? There wouldn't be time to start the engine and try to move the plane off of the road. She didn't think her vest was going to do her much good in such a scenario.


Cameron needed to get the vehicles parked and out of sight of the road. She didn't want the occupants of the big rigs to spot them. She wanted what happened to come unexpectedly. With the arrival of Young Allison and Anna into the target zone, it changed the nature of what their original intent was. They were going to stage a 'traffic accident' to block the road. Now they would be provided with a different option which should be a surprise to everyone.

They were able to secure the vehicles behind an outcropping of rocks. The Metal girls advanced towards their pre-selected locations on foot. Everyone was worried about the part Young Allison and Anna would need to play. Savannah, Cammy, and Sheila would be at the end of the bridge near where the plane would stop.

Cameron moved her teams into position under the bridge over the dry creek bed. It was a long shallow bridge. The dry creek wasn't very deep but it was very wide. It was often the case in the desert. The rains were infrequent and the water could meander at times. Other places it could cut a deep path. Flash floods were common. They left almost as soon as they came. They could leave a path of destruction in their wake.

She wanted a more direct approach, but John wanted to try a less direct approach. A missile to the cab of the trucks would have been fine for her. The drones could drop down low enough to be within gun range and chew up the cabs with their miniguns. They would work as well and do less damage overall. There was minimal traffic and they probably wouldn't be spotted. If they were, they weren't too far from Area 51. If anyone spotted anything and attempted to make a report, it would be squelched. If anyone ever talked about it and said where they were at, it would simply be brushed off as a UFO, or military testing. The reports of similar sightings were coming out of the area for well over sixty years.

If they did it the way John wanted, they might be able to take the trucks whole and drive them away. They could be gone over in better detail away from the road and any passing motorists. If they contained any HK equipment it would be confiscated. It also posed a bigger risk to the Metal girls and Savannah. Young Allison was part of it now as well.

The Metal girls all waited for the trucks to arrive. They should be on the bridge in a few minutes. Everything hinged on the trucks stopping on the low bridge. There was a drone standing by ready to fire a missile, or drop down and engage the trucks, to ensure they stayed on the bridge.

They all heard the Cessna approach low over them as Young Allison checked her landing zone.

Every Terminator there thought it was a bold maneuver. They all knew it was a plan she devised on her own once she found out what they were going to do. They were unaware of how bold Young Allison would be before everything was over.

Cameron thought of Young Allison when she heard the Cessna fly by. Young Allison was her 'special project'. She felt a type of 'kinship' with Young Allison since she was based on Future Allison. Young Allison became Future Allison in the future she was from. They were the same individual. Every version of Allison Young started out as Young Allison.

She didn't want Young Allison to be in danger or anywhere near the combat zone. Nonetheless it's where she was currently. She needed to take some responsibility for it herself because she instilled in Young Allison to act when she thought she would need to act. It appeared in this case Young Allison thought she needed to act. So she did. She was here now. She knew there was no force in the Verse which would stop Young Allison from doing what she planned to do.

Cameron took a look. She glanced up into the sky and caught a glimpse of the Cessna. She was very proud of both of her girls. Her girls didn't run from a fight. They may not pick the fight, or seek it out, but when the fight came to them, they stood up to the challenge and didn't back down. Her girls were the future. The future belonged to the 'Chosen Ones'.


Cammy and Sheila looked at each other as they heard the plane.

"Anna is really pushing the red line on the bird." Sheila said.

Savannah knew who the pilot actually would be. It would be Young Allison. She liked to push it whenever she could. Hopefully Anna would make sure she didn't push it too far.

"It's not Anna." Savannah said. "It's Young Allison. She always pushes the outside of the envelope. She likes to take things to the extreme. Look what she's about to do. I don't like it, but I know it's the best case scenario for what we want to do."

Cammy reflected on some of Young Allison's past actions. She liked all of them.

"She is very confident and aggressive." Cammy said. "Those are excellent qualities for a female."

Sheila looked forward to whatever the future would bring. She was sure it was going to be a bright future for Young Allison.

"She is going to be a real firecracker, like Future Allison is." Sheila said.

Savannah figured she was going to have her hands full trying to keep Young Allison in check. It was a task she was up for.

"Every Allison is a 'firecracker'. Future Allison is an 'M80'. Young Allison is a stick of 'dynamite'." Savannah said.

Sheila immediately thought of another explosive in the original category Savannah mentioned.

"Here I thought you were going to say Young Allison was a real 'cherry bomb'." Sheila said. "If you know what I mean."

Savannah picked up on the double meaning. She was sure once Young Allison became active, she would become the most popular female in the Resistance. She felt she didn't have any right to put the brakes on it if it happened. No one put the brakes on her. If anything, they encouraged her to share and share as much as possible. It was what she did. She glanced over at Sheila and knew Young Allison was captivated by her. She recollected Young Allison's fascination with Sheila, especially her jewelry. So far she was able to prevent Young Allison from 'experimenting' beyond herself. She was aware Young Allison suffered from a severe case of 'hot pants'. It was what she was afflicted by as well.

"I plan to see she keeps it too." Savannah said. "I may not have mine, but I have the box it came in. It's still unused by a male, even if I've had two children. It's not something I want to see Young Allison do."

Cammy was very familiar with everything about Savannah's body. She still admired her ability to be able to reproduce. It was something a Terminator couldn't do. Not only did Savannah reproduce, she also provided other versions of herself with children they couldn't have. She knew it hurt Savannah, but she knew she was very strong and what she did proved it. She hoped Savannah remained a virgin as long as possible. She didn't look forward to the day Savannah would share John's bed. She secretly hoped Claire would actually step up and assume the role. There was no reason she couldn't. She was sure Claire would do it to prevent her daughters from doing it, either of them. Right now Savannah was who was on her mind and her great sacrifice to the Future.

"Having two children will do it to a female." Cammy said. "I doubt there are very many females who have had two children and are still a virgin."

Savannah would do everything she did again in the same way. She knew she would do one thing different though. She would start everything earlier. It is where Young Allison was at right now. She really didn't know how she could question anything Young Allison wanted to do, or any personal choice she wanted to make, since if she could do it over again, she would do it at her age. She would do what she could to put the brakes on Young Allison and try to make her life as emotionally pain free as possible. If something needed to be done she would do it in Young Allison's place. She didn't want young Allison to do the same thing she did, for anyone.

"I intend to make sure Young Allison isn't another one of them." Savannah said. "I swear it."


Minutes ago:

Anna was able to use her Terminator vision to spot all of the objectives. It appeared they didn't have much time to do everything and put everything into play. It was a good thing they pushed the red line on the aircraft. He was going to give them a few extra seconds to get everything taken care of.

"I see the trucks off in the distance." Anna said. "There's the bridge up ahead."

Young Allison looked to where Anna pointed. She would need to use a pair of binoculars to be able to see the same things.

"I can't see either one in detail. I do see the area." Young Allison said. "Wait, I see the trucks."

Anna knew things would happen soon.

"Keep heading towards the bridge." Anna said. "You're right on target. It was some excellent flying and navigation."

Young Allison spotted the bridge. Her landing zone would be off to one side of the bridge.

"I see it now as well." Young Allison said. "I need to pass and turn to line up with the roadway."

Young Allison studied the terrain. She did some quick calculations as to what she would need to do and when. There were no trees or power lines visible anywhere near the road. It all looked workable to her.

"If I cut the power at fifty feet by those two large rocks, I should be able to 'dead stick' the plane in." Young Allison said. "I would almost be on the ground anyway. I'll roll to a stop right before the bridge."

Anna wanted to make sure Young Allison took everything into account.

"At what speed will you need to be and where will the trucks need to be?" Anna asked.

Young Allison looked over at Anna. She didn't want to be tested right now. She would be able to do everything the way she wanted to do it, when she wanted to.

"You know I can do those calculations." Young Allison said.

Anna didn't want to put any more stress on Young Allison than she was currently going to have

"I do." Anna said. "I'm just double checking. It is one of my 'functions'."

Young Allison cut back on the power and flared the Cessna up to bleed off airspeed. The plane rapidly slowed to twenty miles an hour over the stall speed. She wanted to make sure she kept enough airspeed so there wasn't a problem.

"The trucks will need to be one hundred yards from the other side of the bridge." Young Allison said as she turned and lined up with the road. "It's what I need you for. I would be able to make a very good guess, but you're here with me. You can see the details better than I can. I'm open to any of your advice at any time."

Anna was pleased to be able to use some of her Terminator ability to assist Young Allison.

"I can." Anna said. "They're two hundred yards out."

Young Allison calculated the distance, her altitude, and speed. She wanted all of her actions to be very precise and deliberate.

"I'm going to keep the speed up until right before I touch down. I don't want to stall it." Young Allison said. "Then I'll shut the engine off. I want them to see the prop isn't moving when they see the plane about to touch down. It will further sell the issue we're having a 'problem'."

Anna was pleased with the revelation. She didn't want to have a 'hard landing' if they didn't have to.

"It should prevent a stall." Anna said. "You've actually practiced this same maneuver with Cameron on a rural street before. You didn't need to deal with oncoming big rigs though. This situation is a little different and the potential for combat is real. I don't think this is a scenario anyone has ever trained for. Until a short time ago, whoever thought something like this would even happen?"

Young Allison knew she didn't. She didn't like to ask for help, but in a situation like this, if help was necessary, she was more than willing to accept it. She knew like anyone she could make a mistake. It wasn't her choice to ever do it, but it happened. She wanted to make sure it didn't happen now.

"If I'm about to blow it, I want you to take over." Young Allison said. "Don't ask, just do it. I respect your judgment and experience. Tell me what to do to assist you if you do. I will follow all of your instructions instantly."

Anna was glad to have the permission ahead of time. It would prevent any uneasiness later on if it were the case. She didn't think she would be needed, but she was ready if she was. She wanted to show her confidence in Young Allison.

"It will be as you wish." Anna said.

Young Allison would rather be safe than sorry.

"I do." Young Allison said. "I don't want to jeopardize this mission."

Anna gave Young Allison a little more reassurance.

"You're doing everything right so far." Anna said. "You have everything under control and know what to do."

Young Allison looked in the distance and dropped the altitude of the Cessna.

"The trucks are one hundred yards out." Anna said. "Everything is perfect."

Young Allison came in low and shut the engine off. She could see the headlights of the first truck clearly now. She made sure her landing lights were on as she touched down. There was a very slight bump as they contacted the roadway.

"Perfect." Anna said.

Young Allison knew where she needed to place the aircraft to trap the trucks.

"I'll keep up the roll before I stand on the brakes." Young Allison said. "I want to be right up on the end of the bridge. I don't want one of the trucks to slip by."

Anna didn't think it would be a problem. The surface of the road was a little rougher than most of the runways they used. It wasn't enough of an issue to cause a problem.

"Everything is perfect." Anna said.

Young Allison checked her Taser and Model 66 one more time.

Anna noticed and it worried her. She didn't want Young Allison in combat. If the truck stopped and the Metal girls were able to make their move, there shouldn't be very much gunfire at all. There was no way to know how the events would play out.

"Allison, I don't want you in combat." Anna said. "It's my function."

Young Allison liked to be prepared. If the situation presented itself, she wouldn't hesitate to enter the fight.

"I know the drill. I just want to be ready in case it hits the fan." Young Allison said. "I'm 'JAFO' all the way."

Anna picked up the reference regarding 'JAFO' - Just Another Freakin' Observer. She knew there were several other interpretations of the acronym.

"Remember, 'JAFO' lives longer." Anna said. "Don't forget."

Young Allison didn't want to seem overly aggressive.

"You're mixing me up with Cameron." Young Allison said.

Anna turned and looked at Young Allison for a long moment. She didn't think the apple fell far from the tree. She wanted to make herself clear.

"Am I?" Anna asked.

Young Allison was aware Cameron inherited some of her personality from Future Allison. Future Allison was her, she was just older. Future Allison's future going forward was different from hers. She knew she was an influence on Cameron because of the 'Neural Interface' with Future Allison, even if it was indirect.

"OK, maybe I'm where she gets some of it from." Young Allison said.

Young Allison continued to roll toward the bridge.

The first big truck was closing.

Young Allison began to experience her first true concern at this point. They were closing faster than she anticipated. She checked her speed, all of her calculations were correct. She looked at the front of the approaching truck. It was now squarely in front of them.

"Is he slowing?" Young Allison asked.

Anna attempted to calculate what choices were available to them at this point. There weren't many. There wasn't time to restart the engine to take off. If they swerved onto the side of the road, the plane would most likely cartwheel as it ended up in the soft sand next to the road. Their best bet was to continue the roll and jump out as soon as the plane stopped.

"No." Anna said. "Get ready to hop out and run…."

Young Allison concentrated on her control of the plane. She understood everything for what it was. It was actually rather simple.

"It's a game of 'chicken'." Young Allison said. "It's a challenge."

Young Allison continued her roll. She quickly contemplated what else she would need to do to stop the trucks. She knew the trucks needed to be stopped on the bridge for the plan to work. If they wouldn't stop for the plane, she was sure they would stop for something else. It was what she hoped anyway. There was no guarantee.


Seconds to go:

"There goes Young Allison and Anna." Ally said.

They watched as the Cessna turned and flared up as she lined up with the roadway. She was on her final approach.

"It's aggressive flying." Gail said.

Samantha could see the danger Young Allison was about to face.

"I don't think Cameron is pleased she's here, Young Allison I mean." Samantha said.

It seemed to Ally everyday was a challenge to Cameron in some way.

"It seems there's very little Cameron is pleased about." Ally said.


Seconds to go:

Hanna watched the Cessna with more than a little apprehension and worry.

"I'm glad her mother isn't here to hear and see this." Hanna said. "Young Allison is pushing it too much. It would drive Claire crazy."

Cam looked at Hanna and thought she was just about there herself as she worried about it. She was aware Young Allison was trained to operate in stressful situations. A level head could often be the difference between life and death. Young Allison was also trained to think on her feet.

"She knows her limitations." Cam said. "She knows how far she can push it."

Hanna wasn't so sure about it. Young Allison was always willing to take everything a step further. She was willing to push it and then push it a little further.

"I deal with her everyday." Hanna said. "She pushes everything."

Cam didn't see anything wrong with it.

"It's her function." Cam said. "Does she ever stop until she completes a task?"

Hanna knew everything was about the future for Cameron and was reflected in her training of the girls.

"I think her function was to make Cameron push everything in the future Cameron was created in. I think it's why Cameron does it herself." Hanna said. "I've never seen her fail to complete any task or assignment. She practices it until she's perfect."

Cam felt there was a distinction between Young Allison and Future Allison.

"It was Future Allison who was responsible for what Cameron does." Cam said.

Hanna felt it was a pretty slim distinction. What was the difference in the makeup of the core person of the individual? The future and circumstances were different, the individual was the same.

"It IS 'Future Allison' up there." Hanna said. "Young Allison is in all of the versions of Allison. She's what every Allison started out as. They all have the same potential given the proper instruction and training. The older versions all have experience as well."

It was true Cameron honed and refined Young Allison. The base of what Young Allison was, is what they all were derived from. Every Allison was special. The experience each of the others possessed branched into many different areas.


Seconds ago:

Cameron watched the Cessna.

"Young Allison is pushing it." Cameron said.

Cameron watched the drone footage of what happened on the road and in the air above them on her phone.

Holly watched the images with Cameron.

"I'm very worried about her." Holly said. "This environment isn't safe for her."

Cameron could see Holly was very worried. Holly was Allison's lover. She understood how all of it worked. She could picture all the different thoughts as they flooded Holly's mind right now. She wanted to remind Holly that Young Allison wasn't Allison, even if she was.

"I understand…." Cameron said. "Savannah and Young Allison belong together, always remember it. NOTHING must ever interfere with it. I know what you 'want' and why."

It was Holly's desire to be with every 'Allison'.

Holly didn't believe she would need to be aggressive to be with Young Allison once she was active. She believed Young Allison would come to her. She looked forward to the day it would happen. There was no need for her to do anything but wait. Something else began to concern her as she looked at the images.

"I won't interfere." Holly said. "Are the trucks slowing?"

Cameron could see the same problem Holly could. She contacted John Henry for an immediate fire mission.

"No. They don't appear to be slowing." Cameron said. "John Henry, have the drone target the cab of the lead vehicle and the cab of the last one."

She wanted to be able to trap the center truck between the two wrecked trucks.

John Henry previously locked up the targets for a missile shot.

"The missiles are hot and targeted." John Henry said.

Cameron didn't want to endanger Young Allison. She thought it was time to act and stop the trucks before they neared Young Allison. She realized there might be some damage to the bridge but she didn't care right now. Protecting Young Allison is the only thing which mattered to her.

Cameron issued commands none of them actually expected to hear.

"Everyone, stay down. We have incoming missiles." Cameron said. "Fire…."


Closing monologue by Cameron:

As You Wish

Don't give commands
If one wants another to follow
To be treated like that
Is hard to swallow

One needs to think about others
Before they forge ahead
Is easy to make the other
Wish they were dead

Harsh words come easy
They cut to the very bone
With enough scars like that
One would rather be alone

Love only goes so far
Before it slowly dies
Maybe one should have listened
To the other one's cries

Given enough time
Any love can squish
Out the door forever
Remember, it was as you wish

Nobody
