Chapter 961
Say Her Name
Cameron went back to Riley's room.
Derek and Riley were both tired and tried to sleep. Vanna, Allison, and Claire took Precious to the next room.
Vanna looked at Claire and Allison. She could actually do something for Precious they couldn't. They could get some rest, or hook up with the other girls.
"You two can go back to bed." Vanna said. "I have this."
Allison wanted to stay with Vanna. Her mother could go elsewhere. There was another adventure waiting for her in Vanna's room.
"I'll remain with you, Vanna." Allison said. "Mom, maybe you can go 'rest' in our room…."
It sounded exciting to Claire. She didn't want to impose, even if she did.
"You two don't mind?" Claire asked.
Claire was aware of who was already there. Cameron told them what was occurring there. There were three cyborgs sharing information with Samantha. They were capable of multitasking.
Vanna didn't see any of it as a problem. How could it be? It was what they all did.
"We share everything." Vanna said. "It brings us closer together."
Claire wanted to make sure it was OK, especially with the underlying circumstances. Everything seemed to be under control now. She checked with Cameron who silently nodded. She checked Precious herself one more time. She looked at Cameron, Vanna, and Allison. She smiled and left.
Exactly two hours after Cameron told Samantha to report for duty, she was there. She came in through the room Allison and Vanna were in. They were supposed to be taking turns sleeping. Vanna didn't wake Allison for her turn. She decided to take it instead and let Allison rest. She wanted Derek and Riley to rest also.
Cameron took Samantha into the other room so she didn't disturb Allison. She wanted to make sure there weren't going to be any problems.
"Are you updated on everything?" Cameron asked.
Samantha was pleased she wasn't going to be deactivated. She was given a new assignment to watch over Precious and Riley.
"I am. Thank you." Samantha said. "I mean for 'everything' too."
Cameron smiled at her. She was afraid it would be a big intrusion on Derek and Riley's life. It shouldn't be a problem Samantha was a Terminator. It was something Derek and Riley were both used to dealing with on a friendly basis. Samantha contained parts of her program and from the Metal girls they all dealt with every day. She was a combination of all of them, but not a copy of any of them. She certainly didn't want another Terminator based on her program. Cammy was a painful reminder of what it was like to be 'her'. She was sure glad she wasn't a Bitch like Cammy was.
She was still a little uncertain about how things would go down. Two people who were used to being alone might find it somewhat intrusive to have a third person in the residence. It sort of reminded her of her appearance in John and Sarah's life. It was quite a change for them. There seemed to be a lot of negativity directed specifically at her, especially by Sarah. She never felt she did anything wrong to warrant such adverse behavior.
"I don't know what will happen here or how you'll be accepted." Cameron said. "This is a 'test'."
Samantha understood the magnitude of having an additional person suddenly thrust into the middle of someone's life. Maybe she would be viewed as being in the way. There were bound to be private moments where they wouldn't want her around.
"I understand." Samantha said. "This is a big direction change in their lives. I don't want it to be an intrusion. My assignment should be very specific."
Cameron didn't want any unnecessary issues to develop. Derek and Riley experienced a very strained relationship for the last few months of Riley's pregnancy. It wasn't much better now. Derek and Riley both may try to become involved with Samantha if she was there all the time. It would be the natural path for all of them to follow. If they were all in close contact and association with each other, it would make things easier to happen with the three of them. Precious came first. She wanted Samantha to be treated with a 'hands off' policy by everyone. It seemed like the best course of action. She wanted to make everything perfectly clear to Samantha.
"You have very strict boundaries." Cameron said. "If you violate any of them, you'll be deactivated."
Cameron went over all of them. There were a lot of things Samantha wouldn't be doing. It's why Cameron allowed the 'extra time' for Samantha to share with Cam, Holly, and Gail. Claire was a bonus which occurred at the last minute.
After what she just experienced tonight, Samantha thought it wasn't a hard sell. The clincher was her being able to be around Precious and help tend to her. What it all came down to was either she followed Cameron's rules, or she ended up deactivated.
"I accept my assignment." Samantha said. "I'll remain celibate during this mission. Precious comes first. I will not fail."
Cameron smiled. Maybe once things settled down and Derek and Riley got everything back together, things could change for Samantha. She might be able to work in some free time with the other girls, both human and cyborg. She didn't think it would be anytime soon.
She knew Anna was dissatisfied with her lack of 'sharing'. In Anna's case, Cameron couldn't help but think about how much it was like Savannah felt when she told her she needed somebody. The 'somebody' quickly became Young Jesse. It was followed immediately by Cammy, and shortly afterwards by everyone else. She smiled to herself with the thought. She wanted Savannah to experience as much love as possible. She never wanted Savannah to feel like she did.
She was still worried about the problem they encountered with Isabel's sheath. Through some type of facial recognition program, Skynet was able to identify 'Isabel'. They took a bold and desperate attempt to get her back or destroy her. It led to a very serious encounter with Claire, Young Allison, and Isabel-Cameron. It was necessary to establish a new set of rules in addition to the ones about personal matters.
"You're not to leave this facility until your sheath is Resequenced." Cameron said. "I don't want a repeat of what almost happened before around Precious. It was a very serious incident which could have resulted in multiple terminations."
Samantha was aware of the incident and how some last second intervention by Cameron, John, and Bob was able to end the threat. She didn't want to put anyone in danger. She knew it wouldn't only be Skynet who was probably looking for her after the Metal girls cleaned out the vault, and she disappeared soon afterwards. She knew what happened to 'The Enforcer' and the Grays who left with the cash in the armored car. Hopefully the Syndicate would assume she 'disappeared' along with them. Since she knew how the Syndicate operated, they didn't tend to let go of things which offended them easily.
"I understand." Samantha said. "We need to worry about the Syndicate as well in regards to me because of my association with the Syndicate casino."
Cameron didn't think they were done yet with the Syndicate casino. She knew the Grays were tied in with it. She knew the Fanatics were watching the Grays. All three groups were loosely associated. All three of them were a threat.
"I think you're going to need to look over your shoulder a lot if you ever do need to go out." Cameron said. "I believe some type of disguise, like a wig, sunglasses, a wide brim hat, and something to block your face as much as possible would prevent any type of facial recognition."
Cameron couldn't help but think of a recent medical scare. There was the desire of some government officials for everyone to wear a face mask. She knew it didn't do any good. Trying to stop the spread of a virus was impossible. It was like trying to strain dust through a chain link fence. It didn't work. If it would have worked, every cold and flu virus would have been eradicated. It wasn't the case at all.
Samantha thought of a couple other options.
"I could remain in the back of a van, or behind the dark windows of an SUV if they needed to go out." Samantha said. "I would be close by if they needed me. Once I'm Resequenced, it won't be a problem."
Previously, Samantha asked Cameron about Resequencing her sheath. She wanted to be able to pick her own doppelganger. She told Samantha to think about it carefully and then let her know. She didn't want it to be based on her DNA either.
"Have you selected a female?" Cameron asked.
Samantha knew who she wanted to look like from the moment of her first repair. It was also the last person she touched sexually.
"I want to look like Claire." Samantha said.
Cameron didn't say anything at first. It wasn't the response she expected. She wondered about any complications going forward. She could actually foresee a multitude of problems.
"Have you discussed this with her?" Cameron finally asked.
Samantha did talk it over with Claire. There were a few conditions which were set. She was also aware there was an older 'Neural Interface' program Claire did. If everyone agreed to it, she would want an updated version of the 'Neural Interface' with Claire.
"Yes. I was with her earlier, and for the last two hours." Samantha said. "She said I needed to get permission from all 'three' of her daughters."
Cameron felt a slight glitch impulse when thought of the previous 'Neural Interface' she conducted with Claire. It was something she hoped wouldn't come up. It was done for a very specific reason which she didn't want to discuss with anyone. It involved Claire's ex-husband Paul, his well being and safety.
She would leave it up to them to figure out. She was a little worried where a Terminator in standby should be located in someone's quarters. She didn't want it to be overbearing or intimidating. She didn't want her kept in a closet either. They quietly moved back into the room with Vanna and Allison. Allison was still soundly asleep.
"You'll sit at the table by Vanna and go into standby." Cameron said.
Samantha thought it would be better if she was more out of the way. She hoped if she was out of sight, she would be out of mind.
"I can stand in the corner." Samantha said.
Cameron didn't think it was a good idea. She wanted to make sure all of Samantha's responsibilities were centered around Precious. It was to be her primary function. She might need to assist Riley at times if she started to have difficulty with anything, even if it wasn't specifically related to Precious.
"If you stand in the corner it will disturb some people." Cameron said. "You will close your eyes and reactivate upon hearing your name. You will ignore all other conversations. If Precious cries for more than fifteen seconds you will activate and investigate. You will follow the instructions of Derek and Riley. If there is an attack or an alert, it is your function to protect Precious. If the attack appears to be overwhelming, you will take Precious and run. You will not stop to do anything else other than flee the area with Precious."
Samantha understood Cameron's statement to mean Derek and Riley didn't come first. If she could assist them to escape she would, if not, she would take Precious and go. She was to fight only if it was necessary to remove Precious from the danger zone. It all seemed pretty straightforward to her.
"I will not fail." Samantha said. "I understand the importance of my assignment and my commitment to Precious. I will use every part of my chassis and sheath to make sure she is protected. I won't let any damage to me stop me from escaping with her."
Cameron wanted to get Samantha quickly established. She also looked forward to the outfits Samantha would wear if she was Resequenced with Claire's DNA. She wanted to make her look a little more provocative and sexy than Claire normally dressed. There was nothing wrong with the way Claire dressed. It was very modest. Most of it was a holdover from when she was married and discouraged from showing her true natural beauty.
"I'll have everyone donate some clothes to you until you're Resequenced. I'll go shopping with you then." Cameron said. "I will assist you in the procurement of your wardrobe the way I want you to appear. You will be able to give me input and feedback as necessary."
Samantha wanted to dress like Claire. She believed if she was going to look like Claire, everything she did should be similar including the way she dressed. She didn't know Cameron had other plans for her. It should be the same way Ally needed to look like Allison. It meant she was never able to look Tight on her own.
"Can Claire come with us?" Samantha asked. "I would like her to assist me. I don't want to cause any problem for her three daughters by looking drastically different than Claire does. She wants me to look after them in case anything happens to her. It was the main reason why she agreed to allow me to share her appearance and do the "Neural Interface."
Cameron liked the idea of it. She would be able to entice Claire to dress a little more revealing and sexy if they went shopping together. She wanted to make sure John could clearly see what would be available to him if he were to 'share' with Claire.
"Yes." Cameron said. "If she wants to, I think it will work out nicely."
Samantha wanted to be as much like Claire as possible. The existing 'Neural Interface' file of Claire was stripped down of a lot of components. She wasn't sure why.
"I want to do an updated 'Neural Interface' with Claire." Samantha said. "The one on file from before was incomplete."
Cameron needed to suppress another glitch impulse. It was a subject she wanted to stay away from. She glanced quickly at Vanna and Allison. She didn't want to discuss the 'Neural Interface' file which currently existed. She needed some basic components from it previously, but she wasn't willing to discuss what for with anyone. She wanted to remind Samantha everyone needed to be on board.
"It will be so." Cameron said. "It shouldn't be a problem as long as everyone agrees."
Samantha smiled.
Cameron wondered about the choice. It didn't need to be from their group. It could have been from anyone on the outside including a celebrity. Obtaining a DNA sample wouldn't be hard to do from any of them. Any of the female infiltration units could get close enough to interact with any other female and obtain what was necessary.
"Why did you ask Claire?" Cameron asked.
Samantha was very pleased with the care and concern Claire showed her as she stitched her up previously. She could tell she was a very caring and conscientious individual. She liked the fact she was a mother as well. She believed it showed the full extent of her character.
"She was my first 'hands on' human contact." Samantha said. "She fixed me up so I healed nicely. She also asked me."
Cameron was curious as to why Claire would ask her. Many humans were repulsed by the idea of having a Terminator who looked like them. Maybe it was because they were afraid they would be replaced by the 'look alike' Terminator.
"Did she say why?" Cameron asked.
Samantha actually found the idea quite sobering per Claire's request.
"She wants me to be a 'mother' to Summer and her other daughters if she is terminated." Samantha said. "She wants to make sure the girls are protected in a Skynet future."
Cameron understood Claire never wanted what happened to Vanna, Jesse, and Allison, to happen to Summer or Young Allison. Summer would still have her 'mother' and a Terminator for a protector. It would mean Summer would be with Derek, Riley, and Precious. If they all survived. She believed it would benefit all of them. She believed Summer would be a valuable asset in anyone's family going forward. She was sure Summer would become the most valuable asset to the Resistance as time passed. It was a subject to deal with at another time.
She wasn't sure if she should be present when Samantha made her pitch to the three Young daughters. It seemed like it would be a good idea.
"It will be so." Cameron said. "I'll accompany you when you speak to the three females."
Samantha's mixed program told her it wasn't a good idea for an accurate result.
"I want to do it on my own." Samantha said.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She quickly deduced what Samantha saw as a 'problem'. She wasn't sure if problem was the right word.
"You think my presence will influence their decision." Cameron said.
Samantha was sure of it. Everyone wanted to please Cameron.
"Yes." Samantha said. "I want honest input and answers."
Cameron nodded in acknowledgement. It was an effective strategy.
"You're very wise." Cameron said.
Samantha felt she contained a wide selection of programming. Two of the Terminators she received information from were created as Restorators. Their way of thinking was very different from the thinking of a reprogrammed Skynet Terminator. Restorators were all created with the thought of helping and assisting humans as much as possible.
"I have the best programming." Samantha said.
Cameron thought there could be an exception to the 'hands off rule.' The extra interaction would allow Samantha to become as much like Claire as possible. It would benefit Summer in the long run.
"Claire will be allowed to 'visit' you when it's appropriate." Cameron said. "You will learn everything you can from her and pick up all of her mannerisms. It will be in the way she does everything. I think you understand what I mean. Things will need to stabilize here first."
Samantha was pleased with the idea. With a current 'Neural Interface' program and repeated 'personal interaction' with Claire. It would make her more like Claire in every way.
Vanna sat as she nursed Precious and listened to the entire exchange. She knew there was no coercion on Cameron's part. She also didn't think she should add anything to the conversation unless she was specifically asked. She didn't want to influence anything either. She would like to be able to supplement Claire in her 'personal interaction' with Samantha. She would actually like to watch the changes to her sheath as they occurred during Resequencing.
Samantha looked over at Vanna. She wondered if there was going to be any problem.
Cameron anticipated Samantha's concern. Vanna wouldn't be a problem. Vanna was instrumental in bringing her 'back to life'.
"I trust Vanna with my existence, my life." Cameron said. "She has always been there for me in times of need. She will always be there for me when I need her."
It bothered her to think about how Duplicate Vanna was nearly terminated in an attempt to rescue Duplicate Cameron. Luckily River and her were able to avert disaster for all of the Duplicates.
Vanna smiled at them.
Samantha understood it to mean Vanna could be trusted completely for everything.
"Then I do as well." Samantha said. "She is based on the 'Chosen One'."
Cameron tilted her head slightly. Vanna was Savannah Weaver too. It was a logical assumption.
"I guess it's one way to look at it." Cameron said. "All of the females in the Resistance are of the highest caliber and can be trusted to assist and protect everyone associated with the Resistance. It doesn't matter if they are a human or a cyborg."
Samantha sat down and went into standby.
Vanna looked Samantha over for a few moments. She thought it was a shame her sheath needed to be Resequenced. She was very beautiful on her own accord.
"So she will just sit there until her name is called or said?" Vanna asked.
Cameron hoped for a smooth transition but knew it wasn't guaranteed. There were bound to be some rough spots if not some awkward one's.
"Yes." Cameron said. "I need to work Derek and Riley into her 'presence' slowly. I'm afraid there will be some tension there at first. Maybe some other issues will develop."
Vanna caught the drift. She believed she knew both Derek and Riley very well. She certainly knew Derek very well. He may not be the most refined individual, but he was one of honor and respect. She was aware of where Riley's true desires resided. There were times when they almost shared. It was only because she didn't want to 'hurt' Cameron why it didn't happen on her part. She felt it was very unfair to Riley, but she needed to help protect Cameron.
"Derek won't touch her. If you tell him the rules and why, he will follow them. Riley may try for a little more at some point." Vanna said. "She still tries to hook up with the Metal girls at times. She's given up trying to hook up with the human ones. Her inner desires are still strong for the 'old ways'. I would never be able to get past them myself, even if I entered a traditional relationship with a male. The 'old ways' would always call to me because they are 'my ways'."
Cameron provided Riley a 'mate' with Derek. It should be good enough for her, for them. Maybe it wasn't.
"I'm aware of Riley's 'encounters' and attempts with some of the other Metal girls. They have all been warned they will be deactivated if they are involved again." Cameron said. "It will change the trajectory of Riley's development going forward."
Vanna didn't want to get anyone in trouble. She believed Riley's past encounter was very specific. She couldn't help but think it was probably partly her fault. It was with Hanna. Hanna did the 'Neural Interface' with her. She personally had an insatiable appetite for all females. Hanna clearly picked up the trait as well. It was her policy to never reject any female, regardless of her age or appearance, even if she was severely damaged or disfigured. She would never turn any female down. She wanted them to know their self worth and value. She wanted to let them know they still mattered.
"I think it was only Hanna. I'm sure it actually falls back on me in that case. I apologize for it." Vanna said. "Riley was sweet on Holly and knew Hanna shared Holly's program…. It's clear Hanna shared my personal desires. It's just the way I'm wired."
It was a level of understanding and respect on Riley's part. It showed she understood the 'program' was the Terminator, not the chassis or the sheath. It seemed to be something John was unable to comprehend. Cameron decided she needed to do some chip swaps in front of John with some of the other Metal girls. If she did, he would know it was her program in a different chassis. It meant nothing was different and she was still the same. She would see if any of the male Terminators would like to participate as well…. She picked up on John's growing desire for a 'same sex' encounter. She wasn't really sure about what he was after in such a regard. She hoped it was just curiosity. She didn't have a problem with it.
"Riley understood it was still a version of Holly, even though they were now 'different' and their sheaths were different." Cameron said. "I don't think one time will hurt anything in the long run."
Vanna thought back on her first interaction with Cameron. She was trapped in a 'metal box' and separated from her chassis and heavily damaged sheath. It hadn't taken her long to fall in love with the 'program' she communicated with inside of the server. She recognized Cameron for the unique individual she was, even when she consisted only of electricity.
"We all understand your programs are what make each of you who you are, not your chassis or sheath." Vanna said. "You are who you are even if you are trapped in a server."
Cameron walked out without saying anything else.
Vanna wasn't sure if she said something wrong. She knew it was a rough period for Cameron. Maybe it wasn't the right time to mention to Cameron how Riley could probably use some feminine companionship in the form of a human female. She believed it was something Riley desperately needed. She would like to be the one to share with Riley but felt she needed to ask Cameron's permission first. She wondered if maybe Claire wouldn't be the better choice in Cameron's eyes. It would need to wait.
It wasn't what Vanna said which made Cameron upset. It was thinking about what everyone else knew and comprehended. She was angry at John again for rejecting 'her program' when it was in a different sheath. She really wanted to be with him when she was in Isabel's chassis. She was a little worried she might have offended Vanna by leaving abruptly. She didn't want to leave on that note. Vanna hadn't done anything wrong.
Cameron quickly returned and told Vanna she was off to see John and everything was fine. She apologized for getting a little sidetracked and leaving so abruptly.
Vanna doubted everything was fine. She was glad it wasn't her or what she said that upset Cameron. There were still many demons Cameron needed to slay in her mind. She really wondered if Cameron would ever be able to do it. She strongly doubted it. She wondered if anyone could ever do it. She was never able to do it with all of hers. She couldn't even talk about all of them. She did share most of them with Savannah though. She glanced over at Allison. She just couldn't tell her everything.
Vanna left the door open to Derek's room all night. She heard some noise and looked at the time. It was morning now. She may have dozed off a few times.
Allison woke up and wanted to know if it was time for her turn. Vanna told her it would be soon. She told her to go back to sleep. She hadn't noticed Samantha sitting at the table.
Derek popped his head in and Vanna smiled at him.
He noticed Samantha sitting there.
Vanna put Precious down in the crib in the room and went into Derek's main room. She looked around but didn't spot Riley. She thought it was prudent to inquire.
"How's Riley?" Vanna asked.
Derek looked back towards the bedroom area.
"She's sleeping, finally." Derek said. "What's her story?"
Derek indicated Samantha sitting in the chair with her eyes closed.
Vanna hoped Derek wouldn't be freaked out by it. She was a Terminator after all.
"It's Samantha, she shares programming with Cameron, Cam, Holly, and Gail." Vanna said. "She's to assist Riley and you. She's currently in standby. It takes her fifteen seconds for her to reboot when you need her."
Derek eyed Samantha's sheath. It was quite pleasant.
Vanna noticed. She didn't know exactly what the nature of Derek's and Riley's relationship currently was.
"She will assume a different appearance over time once she's Resequenced." Vanna said. "Her previous appearance needs to change for security reasons."
Derek's eyes lingered a little longer on Samantha's features.
"It's too bad, she's beautiful." Derek said.
Vanna wanted to keep Derek focused. She didn't want any trouble for Samantha either.
"So is Riley." Vanna said.
Vanna didn't want Derek to start out on the wrong path.
Derek knew he needed to get it together. It was someone to help Riley and Precious. It was a job for Samantha. It was her assignment. He needed to remember Cameron did it to help them.
"How do we 'start' her?" Derek asked.
Derek was glad he didn't say, 'turn her on'.
Vanna remembered what Cameron said. It seemed pretty straightforward to her.
"Say her name." Vanna said. "I think she will also activate if Precious cries for more than fifteen seconds. She will come to investigate or assist. She will contact Jesse or me if we are needed when Riley is unavailable."
Derek wondered what the extent of her domestic function would actually be.
"So if I need her to fix breakfast for Riley, all I need to do is say her name?" Derek asked.
Vanna hadn't actually thought of it in such a way, but it would work. The more rest Riley could get would help her recover and get back to her old self, hopefully.
"Yes." Vanna said. "She's to take all the pressure off of Riley. She will attend to Precious when necessary. Jesse, Allison, Claire, or I will come as well. Please call us before there's a problem. I can ask Samantha to notify us as well if she detects any 'problems'. She will go into standby whenever you tell her to do so. This is so she won't disrupt your life any more than necessary. Derek, she's here to help Riley and Precious. Cameron is trying to help all of you. She doesn't want Riley to have a complete breakdown. She feels it would be very hard for her to recover from it."
Derek did understand Cameron wanted to help Riley. He needed to agree with Cameron's assessment if Riley experienced a big breakdown, it would be very difficult for her to recover from. He understood it was pre-emptive action on Cameron's part. He realized it was an effective strategy.
"It may take some getting used to." Derek said.
Vanna wanted Derek to remember what it was all about and Samantha wasn't the only one there to help them.
"It's to help all three of you." Vanna said. "The same as we are going to do."
Derek hoped his earlier comments hadn't been rude.
"I already feel bad." Derek said.
Vanna wanted him to interact with Samantha. She wanted him to activate her.
"Call her." Vanna said. "Give it a try and let's see how it works."
Precious started to cry.
"Wait." Vanna said. "Let's see what happens. I haven't tried this part yet."
Vanna and Derek watched. In exactly fifteen seconds Samantha opened her eyes. She stood and went to Precious. She looked at her and made an evaluation. She carefully changed her. Precious soon fell asleep and Samantha sat down and went back into standby.
Derek could see how beneficial it would be at night. Not just for Riley, but for any of the girls who were there to help. He was worried about disrupting their lives. Samantha would be able to alleviate any problems from developing.
"What if Precious is hungry?" Derek asked.
Vanna felt the protocol already established was a good one.
"She will check with Riley. If Riley is unavailable for any reason, she will call Jesse or me." Vanna said. "We're all here to help Precious. We're all here to help Riley and you."
Derek looked over at Samantha who was in standby at the table.
"Thank You." Derek said. "I feel really bad about her just having to sit there."
Vanna was sure in a few days they would develop a good working relationship with Samantha.
"You can integrate her into your lifestyle more as you both get more comfortable with her. She's really very nice." Vanna said. "Cameron warned her she will be deactivated if there is anything 'inappropriate' done. She will be deactivated even if she doesn't initiate the 'inappropriate action'."
Derek understood it meant if it was anything 'inappropriate' done by Riley or him. He knew it wasn't polite to look a gift horse in the mouth, or anywhere else for that matter in this case.
John opened his eyes. He looked over and Cameron was in bed next to him. He reached over and touched her belly, it was flat. John let out a sigh of relief. He tried to think back on the events of last night.
Cameron wondered what it was all about. She felt he was checking for 'someone else'. She wondered if it was a residual effect of his 'conditioning' for what the future offered him.
"Were you expecting someone different?" Cameron asked. "My sheath is currently undamaged and I don't have any scars."
John looked Cameron over in detail. He wanted to be positive it was really her.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't Young Allison." John said.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She quickly reached up and touched herself. Everything was still the same size.
"Young Allison and Savannah are both sleeping." Cameron said.
John thought about what Cameron just said for a few seconds. He wanted a little clarification.
"Do you mean with each other in the same bed?" John asked.
Cameron felt her statement was quite clear and accurate.
"Yes." Cameron said.
John started to pinch himself.
Cameron sat up a little as she watched him. She wasn't exactly sure what was going on.
Closing monologue by Cameron:
She Doesn't
It seems every new day
Turns into some kind of struggle
You now have a choice
With who you choose to snuggle
I am here
You know why
Why is she here
Except to spout another lie
I already told you
She's not being truthful
Listen to what she says
She is being deceitful
What does she offer
You know I have your back
I won't lead you astray
As I try to prevent an attack
Who is the one you touched
ME it wasn't
Who is the one that has a future
She doesn't
Nobody
