Chapter 1062
Pink Today
Cameron was on her way to get Young Allison, Vanna, and Allison, when she received the alert from John Henry about the Fanatics.
"Damn." Cameron said.
Cameron tried to get more information from John Henry. CamNet was slow to respond for some reason.
John recently received the alert from John Henry about the Fanatics and a possible target from information gleaned from their hard drives. He wanted to know what Cameron knew about the information and where she was at.
John Henry was a little surprised he was contacted by Cameron almost immediately after John asked the question.
"Cameron is asking me for more information." John Henry said.
John understood it to mean Cameron didn't know any more than they did. It may or may not have been a good thing. At least for right now they all appear to be working from the same information.
"It was quick." John said.
John checked the security monitors. He didn't see Cameron.
"Where is she?" John asked.
John Henry checked her tracking device. He wasn't surprised with what he found out.
"She's off the base." John Henry said. "She's already headed out."
John wondered to where, and what she was up to. They didn't have much information. He figured if he attempted to contact her it would create some type of an issue.
"Great…." John said. "What's the plan?"
John didn't like when Cameron went off by herself. It appeared it's what she just did again. He wanted her to have assistance if she was going to engage the enemy. They could always arrange for additional Terminators to accompany her. It bothered him because it was often when she went off alone like now, she ended up shot up.
When Cameron was shot up, it usually meant he wouldn't see her until she was healed up from whatever damage she received. It could be anything from a few days, to a week or more depending upon the severity of the damage.
He still wondered about the timing. If she just found out about the situation now when he did, why was she already off the base? He wondered if there was something else going on. He hoped there wasn't some other issue he didn't know about.
Maybe he should have stayed in the room with her. She wouldn't be where she was at right now if he did. He thought about it a little more. Maybe she would be out. She wanted to be notified if anything important happened. He knew anything dealing with the Fanatics would be considered important. They were serious threat wherever they were encountered.
Savannah was in CamNet's bunker. CamNet removed her clothing to try on her new underwear. She was ready for anything to happen at this point.
She brought a new outfit and specific undergarments CamNet asked her to pick up and personally deliver. It's where they were now. She was sure none of this was a coincidence in any way.
Savannah wasn't sure what was going to happen next. She was ready for anything.
CamNet was naked in front of Savannah.
Savannah could tell there was a lot of hesitation on CamNet's part. It was much like her 'close encounters' with Cameron. There were multiple occasions when she thought something was going to happen. It never did. Usually something happened at the last second to get in their way. It was normally Skynet related. She wanted to prompt CamNet.
"What now?" Savannah asked. "What do you want to do next?"
Savannah was ready to make a move and 'take' CamNet. She needed to restrain herself. It needed it to be CamNet's choice beyond all doubt. She wasn't about to pressure anyone into doing something like this unless they really wanted it. She wanted everyone to have a voice. She wanted everyone to have a choice. She wasn't going to make the choice for them.
CamNet looked at Savannah with her big brown puppy dog eyes.
"I don't know…." CamNet said.
Savannah knew CamNet wasn't ready for anything else yet. As much as she wanted to 'take' CamNet, she knew it wasn't the right thing to do. She refused to 'push' her. CamNet was ripe for harvesting physically, but not emotionally. She backed off.
She decided to go back to what she was supposed to be there for.
"Maybe we can try your new top on." Savannah said.
Savannah handed CamNet her new purple underwear.
CamNet looked at Savannah and slid the bottoms on. She hesitated to put her new bra on.
Savannah waited to see what happened next. Nothing did.
"The bra looks beautiful." Savannah said. "Do you want me to hook it for you?"
CamNet quickly put it on and hooked it.
Savannah wanted to make a 'move' but restrained herself.
CamNet looked at Savannah. The big doe eyes called to her. She wanted more but waited.
There was a lot of tension in the air. It was more than just sexual tension.
CamNet felt she was about to blow it. She wanted to be with Savannah, at least to do something. They were both there and alone. She was hesitant to make the first move. She could see Savannah wanted her, but she wasn't going to make the first move either. She needed to think of something fast.
"What color is yours?" CamNet asked. "I mean your underwear."
Savannah thought it was a new approach. She liked it.
"Which one do you mean?" Savannah asked. "Do you want to know the color of my panties or the color of my bra?"
Savannah wanted to see where CamNet went first. It would be an indication of what she was ready for.
CamNet wanted to go straight for the 'gold' but was hesitant to do so. She decided to start out mild.
"What color is your bra?" CamNet asked.
Savannah smiled.
"It's pink today." Savannah said.
CamNet looked at her purple bra and then at Savannah.
"Can I see?" CamNet asked. "I'd like to see how the colors match or contrast with each other."
Savannah liked the approach. She pulled her Taser and M9 out and laid them on the counter. She stripped off her top and faced CamNet.
CamNet was a little surprised to see the 'hardware'. It was a reminder Savannah was ready for any eventualities. It was also a reminder of the danger Savannah needed to face on almost a daily basis.
Savannah put her hands on her hips and rotated back and forth for CamNet. She wanted CamNet to get a good look at her bra from every angle.
CamNet looked at Savannah for a few moments. She needed to make a move.
"Can I try on your bra?" CamNet asked. "I want to see how I look in pink."
Savannah wondered what was going to happen next. She moved over to CamNet and turned her back to her.
"Would you unhook it for me?" Savannah asked.
CamNet hesitated.
Savannah wanted CamNet to touch her. She wanted to show her there was nothing to be afraid of. There was nothing to worry about. She wanted to say it was just cloth. She knew her intentions were deeper though.
"Go ahead." Savannah prompted. "It's OK."
Savannah felt CamNet touch her shoulders as CamNet's hands moved down her back to her bra. CamNet unhooked it. She turned and faced CamNet. She slipped her bra off and handed it to CamNet.
Savannah decided to 'knock' a little. She would do the same thing for CamNet.
"Here." Savannah said. "Let me get yours."
Before CamNet could respond Savannah moved around and unhooked CamNet's bra. She moved behind her and slipped it off as she came back around to the front of CamNet.
Savannah experienced a lot of practice doing the same move to Cammy.
They were both topless now as they stood there and faced each other. They both held the other's bra.
CamNet looked at Savannah standing topless in front of her. She was aware of what Savannah 'looked like' in all of her private places. She saw plenty of images of Vanna, Hanna, and a few of Savannah herself. To see everything in person was totally different than viewing images. One was just a representation they could only look at. The other one could actually be touched. This was the real deal. It was right in front of her.
"You're beautiful…." CamNet said. "Your bra matches your 'natural attributes'."
Savannah didn't look down at her breasts. She was aware of what she looked like. She also knew her nipples were very pink compared to other females. From personal experience, and viewing images on the internet, she knew generally the darker a person's skin pigmentation was, the darker everything else was as well. It wasn't always though. There seemed to be exceptions on both sides of the scale. She didn't think there was much anyone could do about it because it was all genetics. How any individual was going to look was determined at the time of conception.
She did think it was rather cruel the way some individuals were singled out for their appearance or any of their attributes. They didn't have any control over them. She really wondered why people couldn't think things through a little further before they 'attacked' someone. She knew it started right at the beginning of school for people to do it. She figured it probably started among those with siblings even earlier. Unfortunately, she knew some parents were to blame.
It made her think about Vanna's baby she currently carried. All of its genetic characteristics were already determined. As it developed inside of her, things would happen as dictated by nature. She only hoped it would be healthy. It didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl. She wanted to deliver it to Vanna to help fill the void in her life. Vanna's association with Precious only further indicated her true natural desire. She didn't want to think about anything going forward. She was where she was at now. She needed to maintain some type of control, even if she decided to push things a little.
"We all are, how we are." Savannah said. "Everyone is different. I don't think any two people are exactly the same in any of their private areas, unless they're a cyborg copy of a specific human, or a clone of a specific cyborg. Strangely enough, there are also other timeline versions of individuals, which are exactly the same individual."
CamNet knew she was identical to 'Allison Young'. It was every 'Allison Young'. She studied everything about every 'Allison Young', and her cyborg 'knock offs', to see why they seemed to turn everyone's head. She knew it was more than just the private parts on them. Those were normally covered. The Resistance base seemed to be an exception to the rule. A lot was uncovered there. There was a lot of nude 'room hopping'.
Since the private areas were always covered in public, even if skimpily so with a bikini, they were still covered. She knew it was the face everyone saw first. They only looked at the other things afterwards. She knew for many females many individuals looked elsewhere first before they looked at the face. She thought it must be very rude for someone to be treated in such a way.
She was aware Future Allison told Young Allison her face would open any door. It went back to the face again. Some females seemed to possess a common look which was desired by a majority of individuals. Strangely enough, it seemed as many females were attracted to it as males were. It wasn't any version of 'Allison Young' she was concerned with right now other than herself as a cyborg copy of her.
Savannah hoped she didn't offend CamNet by saying since Cameron's clones were identical to her. They were all identical to Allison. When it came to each individual's personality, she didn't find any two of them the same. It didn't matter if they were human or a cyborg. They were all distinctly different.
CamNet wanted to touch Savannah and she wanted Savannah to touch her. She was still a little uncertain if she should proceed. She didn't want to lose focus.
"Maybe I'll try the top without a bra." CamNet said.
Savannah could tell CamNet was still trying. CamNet stumbled and floundered, but she still tried to move ahead. It appeared she was going to need some assistance. She knew if CamNet didn't make a move soon she was going to develop a complex which would affect her going forward.
"Sit down." Savannah said. "I'll unplug you and put it on for you."
CamNet sat down. To her surprise, Savannah sat on her lap facing her. Savannah's legs were on the outsides of her legs.
They were inches apart. Their bare breasts touched each other's breasts.
Savannah reached up to the back of CamNet's neck. She moved closer as she did so. Their breasts were pressed firmly against each other's breasts now.
"Are you ready?" Savannah asked.
CamNet could feel Savannah's heart beating against her breasts. She again briefly wondered if this would be her last moment with a chassis and sheath. She didn't believe Savannah would ever do it to her and deactivate her. She could feel Savannah wanted her as much as she wanted Savannah.
"I'm ready…." CamNet said.
Savannah pressed even tighter up against CamNet. She looked into her eyes as she unplugged her. CamNet closed her eyes as the cable came out.
She stood and carefully laid the cable on CamNet's server. She picked up the top and slipped it on CamNet. She adjusted her hair and smoothed the top over her figure. She pulled it tight around her breasts. The tight fitting material made her breasts look very prominent.
Savannah retrieved the cable and moved back around in front of CamNet and sat on her lap again facing her. She plugged the cable back in and fixed CamNet's hair.
When CamNet opened her eyes again, Savannah was still topless right in front of her. Savannah smiled at CamNet and stood. Her breasts brushed up against CamNet's face. It clearly wasn't an accident.
Savannah handed CamNet the rest of her outfit and she finished dressing.
CamNet felt a different sensation with her breasts. She looked down at the front of her shirt.
"I sort of have 'pokies' now." CamNet said as she looked in the mirror. "I didn't earlier."
Savannah was aware it it was normally a reaction to something else. It could be from a temperature change. It was usually to a colder temperature. It could also be stimulation. The stimulation could either be mental or physical. Physical stimulation always produced physical results as well as mental ones. Mental stimulation usually produced physical results. Those weren't just limited to the breasts either. They happened elsewhere.
"It happens." Savannah said. "It occurs elsewhere in other places."
CamNet was now aware of it as well.
"May I scan you?" CamNet asked.
Savannah moved closer to CamNet again as she scanned her.
"Your pregnancy is doing fine." CamNet said.
Savannah knew what CamNet was really after.
"And…." Savannah said.
Savannah was still topless.
CamNet could see that everything was highly elevated on Savannah now as compared to her previous scans. The specific information seemed to stimulate her as well.
"You're also very sexually aroused." CamNet said.
Savannah knew she wasn't the only one.
"So are you." Savannah said. "You really have a set of 'pokies' now."
CamNet looked down. She could see she did. She was also aware other parts of her sheath reacted as well. She reacted in the same way as Savannah did. She knew it was part of her design to be able to emulate a human female to successfully pull off an infiltration or a replacement mission. There were times when a human needed to be replaced rather than just terminated to gain control of something, or be able to influence something. She thought it was a good design. Maybe Skynet got something right, even if it got everything else wrong.
She knew she was at a crossroads in her existence at this moment. There were only two ways to play it. Either she acted and moved forward to advance her life, or she folded and nothing happened and she became even more frustrated. Maybe Savannah would become discouraged and wouldn't come around again. She didn't want to lose her.
Ally and Sheila worked in the lab. Cammy assisted them. They were almost done with their task. They were supposed to go to Cameron's base and retrieve Savannah.
Cammy didn't want to rush things. She figured Savannah was sharing with CamNet and didn't want to disrupt anything. It wasn't for CamNet's sake, but for Savannah's sake. She wanted Savannah to be happy. She especially didn't want Savannah to see her as interfering with anything related to her private and personal affairs.
Ally was a little tired of lollygagging. She wanted to get the show on the road. They should have been done long ago if Cammy hadn't slowed everything down. Everything ended up taking longer, even though there was a third person assisting.
"We're finished for now." Ally said. "I thought I was going to end up an Old Maid because it took so long."
Sheila looked over and smiled.
"You are an Old Maid." Sheila said.
Ally was instantly offended. She knew Jesse was older than Allison was. They were each based upon their current appearance.
"No I'm not." Ally said. "You are. You're older than me."
Cammy didn't want to get in the middle of some verbal altercation. There was enough on her mind to deal with already.
"Nobody's old." Cammy said. "We can be as old as young as we want to be."
They were ready to go pick up Savannah.
Sheila didn't want to push the issue.
"OK, love, let's roll." Sheila said.
Cammy started to have second thoughts. She didn't want to upset Savannah.
"Maybe you two should go." Cammy said. "I don't want Savannah to think I'm checking up on her."
Ally didn't think it was too big of a deal one way or the other. They all 'checked up' on everyone else. Everyone liked to know where the 'pickings' were good.
"You're not." Ally said. "You'd be there to retrieve her."
Sheila could see how torn Cammy was. It bothered her to see Cammy go through such needless worry. It seemed like a lot of hurtful emotional stress. After the difficulties Cammy already experienced last night and earlier today, she didn't think Cammy needed any more trauma. The fact she was responsible for what happened last night and earlier today wasn't lost on her.
"Come on, Cammy." Sheila said as she took her hand.
The three Metal girls headed out.
All three of them wanted a 'crack' at Savannah if she wasn't already engaged in a sexual act with CamNet. Ally and Sheila were sure Cammy would allow them to have a 'four way'.
Sheila was ready right now for a 'three way' with Cammy and Ally. If Cammy suggested again they should wait a little longer, it's what she wanted to suggest to help pass the time. She glanced over and spotted a scalpel on the workbench. There was always unfinished business to tend to.
Earlier:
Young Allison checked the time.
"Cameron wanted to take us out." Young Allison said. "I want Savannah to go with us."
Anna thought they could get a head start.
"Let's go find them." Anna said.
Anna put her top back on.
Young Allison watched.
Anna was a little self conscious about her appearance.
"Don't even say it." Anna said.
Young Allison said what she really wanted to say instead. She just was able to experience a few seconds of Anna like she never was able to do before.
"You're beautiful, Anna." Young Allison said. "I really mean it."
Anna gave Young Allison a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She didn't even need to scan Young Allison to know it was true. She scanned her plenty ever since her 'heart' was put in.
"Thank you." Anna said. "You know you are too, even more so."
Young Allison blushed.
"Thanks." Young Allison said.
They headed out in search of Cameron or Savannah. They were unable to locate either one.
Young Allison wanted to see what else was happening as well.
"Let's go see John Henry." Young Allison said. "I want to get caught up on operations."
Anna was sure both of them were out. Maybe they went some place together. She began to wonder if maybe they better not ask or find out. It might 'hurt' Young Allison. It was too late. They were in the Command Center now.
Young Allison wanted to make the first move. She felt it would put her on stronger footing when it came time to ask questions.
"Hi, John." Young Allison said. "Hi, John Henry."
John looked as surprised as he did nervous at their arrival.
They all exchanged pleasantries.
"What's the latest?" Young Allison asked.
John and John Henry filled them in.
Young Allison looked at Anna. It appeared to be bad news. The Fanatics were always a problem. The fact Cameron was already out was an additional problem. She wanted to get a little more involved. It seemed prudent to ask first since both the General and John Henry were present.
"Can Anna and I use some of your equipment?" Young Allison asked.
Young Allison could see John seemed nervous with her in close proximity to him.
"What's ours is yours." John said.
Young Allison touched John's shoulder.
John almost jumped.
Young Allison was going to comment what was hers, was John's as well, but decided to keep it civil since there was the possibility of action looming. She wanted to concentrate on it. She didn't want John to be further distracted by her presence. She couldn't help who she was.
"Thank you." Young Allison said.
Anna 'plugged in' using the back corner. Young Allison sat next to her. Anna was tied directly into John Henry's server and linked to CamNet.
Young Allison looked back at John and John Henry. They were both busy planning.
Anna could see the concern on Young Allison's face. It was clear she wanted to get down to business.
"We have everything here almost the same as we do in our bunker." Anna said.
Young Allison looked around. The statement wasn't quite accurate.
"Except privacy. I want to see where Cameron is at." Young Allison said. "I want to see where she's headed. I want two drones up at altitude over her and Savannah as soon as possible."
Anna was a little concerned because the current situation was a 'cold start'. They didn't have any time to plan or anticipate what may or may not happen.
"It will take a little time for them to get there from the outlying areas." Anna said.
Young Allison didn't know how anything would play out. It was one of the reasons she wanted to get her 'foot in the door'. She didn't see any similar action taken by the General or John Henry.
"It's why we're doing it now." Young Allison said. "I want Cameron and Savannah both protected."
Young Allison watched the overlay. She was a little confused. Maybe the General or John Henry did take some action.
"I see four drones up." Young Allison said. "Did John Henry send any?"
Anna repeated the instructions they sent to CamNet.
"CamNet said you wanted two drones over Cameron and Savannah." Anna said.
Young Allison was aware of what she said. She was still confused.
"It's what I said." Young Allison said.
She wondered why there were four. Then it hit her.
"Why isn't Savannah showing up with Cameron?" Young Allison asked.
It was clear Savannah wasn't in the same location as Cameron.
"Savannah isn't with Cameron." Anna said. "Her location isn't showing."
Young Allison should be able to see where Savannah was.
"How is it possible?" Young Allison asked. "Unless…."
Anna thought they should leave it alone.
"It appears to be some 'private time' for Savannah." Anna said. "We need to respect it. Don't forget, she allowed you some earlier. You need to be careful where you step when these things play out. You're going to be in similar situations more often than you think going forward."
Young Allison said nothing.
John Henry noted how nervous John became when Anna and Young Allison showed up. He knew John felt the future knocking, and knew he wasn't going to be able to change it. It wasn't something Cameron would give an inch on.
John saw the girls settle in over in the back corner. He didn't want to go over and look, even if he did. There was no way for him to tell what what's happening.
"What are they doing?" John asked.
John Henry wasn't sure what they were up to yet but it was clear they were up to something.
"They're reacting." John Henry said.
John looked at his monitors. He hadn't seen anything happen yet.
"What are they reacting to?" John asked.
John Henry could only speculate on events.
"They're reacting to Cameron heading to check out the lead on the Fanatics." John Henry said. "They have tied in directly to my server and CamNet."
John understood it for what it was.
"There's a lot of power available to them." John said.
John Henry wasn't allowed to see everything they did.
"They're using it too." John Henry said.
John looked at his monitors again. He didn't see anything which needed attention yet.
"How?" John asked. "We don't know anything yet."
John Henry glanced over to where Anna and Young Allison were at.
"They have drones on the way at altitude." John Henry said.
John was a little surprised to hear it. He saw nothing on his monitors.
"I don't see it." John said.
John Henry knew there was a good reason why John was unaware. It was intentional.
"CamNet masks it." John Henry said. "I looked over and saw it on their screen."
John wondered what they were doing. There was no target.
"They don't even know what's happening yet." John said.
John Henry thought John should ask and work with them. He was sure it was a pretty good time for John to do so. He was there and Anna was there so he shouldn't have to worry about 'anything'.
"Maybe you should interact with her." John Henry said. "She doesn't want to intrude. She's trying to stay out of your way. She's doing what she normally does. This is what goes on in the Young bunker."
John looked over at Young Allison and Anna. He was aware of all the damage which was averted to their troops by Young Allison's actions with Anna and CamNet. He felt he had some experience working with John Henry in the Command Center for years. Maybe he could learn something new. Maybe he could give advice. He took a deep breath and let it out slow.
"I'm glad for all the times she did intrude." John said. "Let me go see what they're doing."
John excused himself and headed over. He felt less nervous now. He knew Anna was 'Cameron' and 'Savannah'. It was clear Young Allison cared about Cameron and Savannah as much as he did for both of them. He wondered how she felt about him.
He thought Young Allison was a total knockout and looked exactly like a slightly younger version of Cameron in all regards. She was always in his head when he woke up in the morning after he was with Cameron. He didn't know if he wanted to watch his favorite scenes from the movie or look at images on the internet.
John looked back and John Henry. He shook his head to clear it. He really wasn't sure where some of those thoughts came into his mind from. Right now he received some help. He wanted to see how it played out. Cameron was more than likely headed for a danger zone.
He was sure he wanted to make himself more comfortable in Young Allison's presence. It didn't appear she was uncomfortable at all, even in a different setting. He could see she took her position very seriously. He believed Cameron was correct in the fact Young Allison could step into his shoes. Both Anna and John Henry would be there to assist her, along with CamNet.
Cammy, Ally, and Sheila were on their way to see Savannah. Cammy was still uneasy about interrupting Savannah and CamNet.
"I want to wait until they're 'finished'." Cammy said.
The three Metal girls all received an alert.
"CamNet is redirecting us to assist Cameron." Ally said. "A situation has developed."
They were filled in on all the details.
Cammy felt more than a little dismayed. She knew how the events were going to play out.
"I want to get Savannah." Cammy said. "She's going to go where Cameron is as soon as she finds out. It's my job to protect her."
Cammy tried to call Savannah. She couldn't get through. CamNet blocked her.
"CamNet is blocking me." Cammy said.
Sheila could see how upset Cammy was. She got an idea to get around the problem.
"Hold on, love." Sheila said.
Sheila quickly called Young Allison. She hoped the call would go through.
Young Alison watched John stand up and speak quietly with John Henry. They both looked over in their direction several times.
"John's going to come over here." Young Allison said.
Anna didn't see a problem with it. They were in the Command Center after all.
"He wants to know what we're up to." Anna said. "He's going to try to figure out how you think and make your decisions. He knows you're both looking at the same information and doing different things."
Young Allison didn't see it as a problem. They weren't doing anything wrong, even if they were doing a little more than John and John Henry were. She would like to hear what he was thinking. She understood he was used to dealing with a situation once it developed. She knew he didn't want to act too early.
"I'll listen to his advice and let him know what we're doing." Young Allison said.
Anna saw the potential for a conflict.
"What happens if his advice is counter to what you're doing or what to do?" Anna asked.
Young Allison didn't really need to think about it. She believed her actions were sound and would prove beneficial to Cameron if the situation developed. If not, the drones would simply return to their point of origin as if nothing occurred.
"Will make sure he understands what needs to be done and when it needs to be ready." Young Allison said. "If we have the opportunity to back our personnel up a little better than they have been in the past, there's no reason not to do it. There's no point in anyone suffering needless damage, especially if there were assets available and not utilized."
Anna wondered if Young Allison would stand down for anything.
"What happens if you still don't agree about something?" Anna asked. "Are you going to go rogue?"
Young Allison didn't think things would play out with the scenario Anna suggested. There was always a possibility.
"We'll see." Young Allison said
John came over and asked if he could watch Young Allison and Anna work.
Anna filled him in.
John was a little surprised at what else was happening. It was more than just the drones.
"I see you have Cammy, Ally, and Sheila heading to assist Cameron." John said.
Young Allison used the resources currently available. There were other ones mobilized as well. She knew it was a big footprint early in the game, but she didn't want to take any chances.
"I wanted the closest team to respond. CamNet is the one who sent them." Young Allison said. "There are other teams getting ready in addition to them."
John knew they still didn't know anything. He watched Young Allison ramp up a response with reinforcements.
Young Allison received a call. She saw it was Sheila. She wondered why she wasn't using the com system. Maybe it was personal or something was wrong. She knew Cammy was with them. It's possible she may have relapsed. Now she was worried. They were headed somewhere before she asked CamNet to redirect them.
"Excuse me." Young Allison said. "I need to take this. We usually have more privacy."
John was surprised. Now he wondered what else went on in the Young bunker. His eyes followed Young Allison as she walked away. He really couldn't wait for the day he would be able to be with her. He really wanted her virginity.
Young Allison headed outside the Command Center.
Anna 'bumped' John. He realized he was caught as he 'checked out' Young Allison as she walked away. He already thought of a half dozen things he wanted to do with her.
There was a stern look on Anna's face.
"You'll have her soon enough." Anna said. "Don't push it."
It wasn't what Anna wanted to see. She did know it was inevitable.
John liked the idea. He knew it was all Cameron's fault somehow.
"I'm sorry." John said.
John wasn't really sure what he needed to be sorry about. Wasn't everything supposed to happen anyway? What difference did it make when it happened? He really didn't see the need to wait on anything anymore. Cameron wanted it to happen, so it should happen. Wait. It wasn't what Cameron wanted, it was what Future John wanted. It was what he wanted. He glanced over towards the door Young Allison just exited. He understood Future John a little better.
Young Allison didn't like the interruption. It was ill timed and out of place. She was worried as to why Sheila would call her personally. It must be something important. Her sense of worry increased.
"Hello." Young Allison said.
Sheila apologized for the interruption. She filled her in on the details.
Young Allison didn't care for what she heard.
"I'll take care of it." Young Allison said. "You'll let Cammy off where Savannah is first. Then proceed to back up Cameron.
Sheila was worried there was going to be a problem. She didn't want it to come back on her.
"Those 'orders' are contrary to CamNet's." Sheila said.
Young Allison wanted to make sure Savannah was protected. She knew Savannah was going to go to where Cameron was at.
"CamNet's 'orders' have been superseded." Young Allison said. "You're now acting on my authority."
The call ended.
Young Allison quickly returned.
John wondered what was happening. He knew not to ask.
Anna went over everything again.
Young Allison was back in less than thirty seconds.
John looked at Young Allison with a questioning look.
Young Allison didn't want to mention what the call was really about. She went on the offensive. She would knock John off target to ask any questions.
"I'm sorry for the interruption, John." Young Allison said. "I wasn't sure if it would be 'girl stuff' or not. You know I'm getting older. My body is changing. I'm sure you've noticed."
Young Allison ran both of her hands down the front of her torso.
John viewed some of the changes as she stretched her top tight. He could see it but remained silent. It was the last place he wanted to go, especially in this setting. Anna's earlier 'warning' didn't help any. He wanted to stay in the loop, but he didn't want to do it standing over the girls, especially now.
"Can we see what you are doing as it happens?" John asked. "I don't want to bother you or disturb you."
Young Allison knew Savannah wanted her to be a team player.
"Sure." Young Allison said. "I'm always willing to accommodate the General.
John could feel the sexuality radiate off of her statement. He didn't want to get tripped up. He wanted to give Young Allison some room. He was willing to let her step up. He was going to be gone in a few days anyway. This was her chance to fill his shoes.
"Do you want to take the lead on this and we will back you up?" John asked.
Young Allison wanted to rattle John's cage a little.
"I thought we already took the lead." Young Allison said.
John looked surprised. He quickly realized it was exactly what happened. John Henry and him hadn't done anything.
John Henry listened to everything. He'd heard Young Allison change CamNet's 'order' in the hallway. It was impressive in itself.
Now she just blew past John and never missed a beat on anything.
Young Allison was the one who started sending Cameron help. Not John.
He realized it wasn't him either.
Young Allison sent a personal message to CamNet regarding Savannah and her and anyone who tried to contact either of them. The calls were to go through unless they asked for privacy.
CamNet apologized.
Savannah previously admonished her before for not letting calls go through when they should have. She realized she was wrong again. She was sure it was going to cause some kind of a problem going forward with both of the girls. It wasn't her intention. She let her personal desires get in the way of her function. It was easy to see how entangled and entwined everything could become rather quickly. It was something Savannah warned her about on several occasions, including this one.
Closing monologue by Cameron:
Your Life Has No Purpose
Anyone can make mistakes
Some just seem to make more
Without learning from them
Life's lessons you ignore
Do you ever think twice
Before a foolish move
Following the wrong path
Leaves no room to improve
Seek what you know
It's in front of your eyes
Appreciate what you have
Can't you hear the cries
Cast not aside
What you know is right
There's no need for battle
There's no need to fight
Your impulsive actions
Have made our lives a circus
Without me at your side
Your life has no purpose
Nobody
