Chapter 1085

Madera

Moments ago:

In the Command Center they watched all the different feeds. They were still going over what they just witnessed.

John watched the B-25 fly under the Golden Gate Bridge. He was worried about several different things from what just occurred. The publicity was one, but his main worry was safety.

"Cameron should know better than to allow something so extreme. She should think more about the girls than herself." John said. "It looked like a dangerous maneuver."

John Henry wasn't so sure Cameron was the one to 'blame'. It wasn't something he would put past her to do on her own. He was certain the suggestion came from someone else. He was sure it was Young Allison. He figured it was something all of them would want to do. Well, Young Allison, Cameron, and Derek. He didn't think Savannah would be opposed as long as it was done safely. He didn't know about Cammy, but knew she would back Savannah's play. So would Gail. He was sure Anna would voice her opposition, but back Young Allison's play in the end.

He calculated there was plenty of room. He was aware other planes made the passage with no problem. He didn't see it as an issue. He recently looked at an historic image of an F-4 Phantom II doing the same thing. There were many other reports of other aircraft, even if there were no images.

"It actually wasn't dangerous at all. They have nearly a hundred feet of clearance above and below them." John Henry said. "One of the Doolittle Raiders did it with an almost identical aircraft. It was an earlier model with the turret in the center and no actual tail gun position. There's been some dispute if it was the Golden Gate Bridge or the Bay Bridge. In the movie 'Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo', it was the Bay Bridge. Tourist helicopters fly underneath it multiple times a day. They're all currently grounded."

John wondered if there was going to be any record of the event. He was sure it must have been witnessed by a lot of people.

"If we're seeing all these video feeds, is this event being recorded?" John asked.

CamNet and John Henry's server scrubbed any video feed they could find. Any cell phone shots were deleted as soon as they were attempted to be uploaded anywhere.

"CamNet's making sure it's not." John Henry said.

John watched the drone footage as the B-25 lined up on a second bridge. He hadn't been to the San Francisco area in quite some time. When he viewed the image, it reminded him of an unusual feature about the bridge.

"Look, they're about to do it again on the other bridge." John said. "Why is the other bridge double decked?"

John Henry was aware of how the Bay Bridge was constructed and what its original configuration was as compared to the present day.

"It's the Bay Bridge I spoke of earlier." John Henry said. "In the movie about the Doolittle Raid, they flew under the Bay Bridge. There were railroad tracks for streetcars on one level when it was constructed. Now it carries vehicle traffic in opposite directions on different levels."

John did hear John Henry mention the movie just a few seconds ago. He already forgot what the exact title was.

"What was the name of the movie again?" John asked.

John Henry's server already reviewed the movie numerous times.

"The movie is called, 'Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo'." John Henry said. "For the movie they actually needed to reconfigure some of the aircraft to look like the earlier model to be more accurate for when the raid was conducted."

One of the screens showed the footage from the movie as a B-25 flew under the Bay Bridge. It all happenedin just over a second.

The screens dealing with the planes all went blank.

John looked at the blank screen for a few seconds. He thought there was going to be some more for them to view. It didn't appear to be the case.

"What happened to all the feeds?" John asked.

All John Henry could watch was the movie on his server. It was on multiple viewing platforms.

"I think the show is over." John Henry said.

John worried where they might go next. He already thought it was a risky stunt by Cameron. He wondered what she would do next. A new fear crept into his head.

"They aren't going to Las Vegas again are they?" John asked.

The last information John Henry obtained on the aircraft was after they passed under the Bay Bridge. He didn't think Cameron would have the two aircraft loiter in the area after her exhibition. He didn't know anymore than John did at this point.

"I don't know." John Henry said.

John didn't think Cameron was done with the Syndicate yet. What made it worse was Young Allison was along. It appeared she was after the Syndicate too for accosting Sheila, Cammy, and Ally. Since it was personal to Young Allison, he wondered how far she would be willing to take it on a personal level. He wondered how Derek and Savannah would play into the equation. He needed some answers.

"What's happening with the casino there?" John asked.

John Henry was able to observe the Cartel take control of the casino from the Syndicate after the last round of skirmishes. Neither one of them wanted to destroy the casino. They wanted the revenue generated from it. It also served as a good source to launder the money from all the illegal activity they did on the side. It was mainly drugs and females.

"The Cartel still has control." John Henry said. "Nothing is different from the last time you asked."

John wanted to remind John Henry he wasn't hooked up to a supercomputer, but decided not to say it. There were other areas to worry about as well.

"What about in Reno?" John asked.

John Henry previously watched an internal power struggle take place in Reno.

"The Syndicate still has control of its location there." John Henry said. "It's a different Family than before. The original Family was pretty much wiped out. The other families were dissatisfied with all the trouble which emanated from them. The loss of money was deemed unacceptable. The new trouble with the Cartel only made it worse."

John thought of the implications of it. There were a lot of big changes which were all multi-million dollar related. He couldn't guess exactly how much. He didn't even want to think about how many lives were already lost. He knew those who survived Judgment Day would all become future Scavengers. He couldn't complain too much about their termination, especially by each other. It was something which went on in the background anyway before they became involved with either group. If anything, they only accelerated what was already there and going to happen.

"Young Allison did a number on the Syndicate." John said.

Based on his association with Young Allison, John Henry was sure there was more payback to come. He didn't think she would stop anytime soon. He could see Cameron's training was successful. Young Allison thought and acted very much like a Terminator. It meant the job was never finished, until it was finished. He didn't believe it was a job which could ever be finished. It meant the killing would go on.

"I don't think she's done yet." John Henry said.

It was John's worry. He suspected as much. He would like to have a 'heads up'.

"Really?" John asked. "What else is she going to have CamNet do?"

John Henry imagined it would be a lot. He thought John should ask her. He didn't think it would hurt anything. It might also make her think twice about some things before she did them. It was the whole point to their future association. They were supposed to interact with each other.

"I really don't know." John Henry said. "She's very thorough."

John knew Young Allison was going to be a handful to deal with, especially when Cameron was 'done' with her. He wondered if Cameron would ever actually be 'done' with any of them. Somehow it seemed highly doubtful.

He looked forward to his 'interaction' with her as much as he feared her 'bite'. The future seemed as promising as it did painful. No pain, no gain. Maybe Future John did know what he was doing.

He took a moment to look at the screens which were now blank. Maybe Future John didn't know as much as he thought he did.

Savannah was glad both bridges were past them now. She wasn't comfortable with what Young Allison wanted to do. It was more than a little intriguing, but it seemed a little on the dangerous side and unnecessary. It wasn't so much she was worried they would slam into the bridge, as it was of the publicity it would attract. What was done was done. She glanced at Cameron.

"Where are we headed to now?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison felt there was still a personal score to settle.

"I sure hope it's to Reno or Las Vegas." Young Allison said. "I want some action."

Savannah wasn't about to allow Young Allison into combat. She felt she was responsible for anything which could happen to Young Allison. She planned to make sure nothing would happen to her, especially if it was bad.

"NO. it's not going to happen." Savannah said. "I meant which route to Palmdale are we going to take. We can either fly inland on several different routes or cut back over the hills and hug the coast in the other direction. There needs to be a little responsibility shown as well as the daring."

Cameron already knew where she wanted to go first. There was no need to go back to Palmdale quite so soon. There were other things they could do. The day was still young.

"Fly inland a little more and we will pick up the railroad tracks near Route 99." Cameron said. "There are two sets of tracks. They more or less parallel each other. They belong to two different railroad lines. They're both historic competitors. New companies through merger acquisitions control each of them now. We will follow the second set of tracks. There is a local airfield at Madera. It sees a lot of Warbird traffic. It's an uncontrolled airfield, there's no tower. We can practice touch and go landings and top off the tanks."

Savannah was worried about Riley. She felt it was an issue which needed to be addressed on a personal level. She felt it was something important.

"Derek may need to get back and see Riley." Savannah said.

Cameron knew the issue was a little deeper. Riley wanted Derek away from the doctor's office in case her situation was something terminal. She was briefed on the report Riley received from the specialist. It wasn't good news. It was much better than what Riley feared. She believed she already took care of the other issues related to Precious to assist Riley from the beginning. She knew Derek was very concerned about Riley. She told Riley she would make sure Derek was occupied when she visited the doctor. The mission was complete.

CamNet provided them with a solution to Derek's current situation. There was a much faster way for Derek to be returned to Van Nuys if it was necessary.

"Gail, Ally, or Sheila can fly him back in the P-51." Cameron said. "He will enjoy the low altitude, high performance flight. He will be back in a very short time."

Young Allison and Savannah thought they would enjoy a flight like it too. They knew it would be another day's adventure. They didn't want to seem greedy after everything they already did and experienced.

Savannah wanted to work on her proficiency. It was much easier to do at an uncontrolled airfield. They didn't need to wait for clearance or instructions. The air traffic would be light as well.

"Allison, I'll take control back when we're near Madera. I'll do a couple of touch and go landings and then land on the third one." Savannah said. "Will you have a tanker waiting for us, Cameron? Do they have everything in a remote location like this?"

CamNet assured Cameron a tanker was already on the way to the location.

"CamNet says it's covered." Cameron said. "It will be top quality fuel."

It wasn't quite what Savannah wanted to know, but the answer was sufficient to show the fuel was available. She didn't expect anything but the best anyway.

Savannah wanted Young Allison to share time in the pilot's seat. She also wanted to make sure somebody more qualified than her was in the copilot's seat when it occurred. Young Allison's safety was paramount to her.

"Allison can take the pilot's seat and take us off." Savannah said. "You'll be in the copilot's seat, Cameron."

Cameron thought it would be good practice for Young Allison. She decided she would work in a whole regiment of other things. They didn't all need to be done at once.

"I'll have her do a few touch and go landings as well then." Cameron said. "The remote location won't draw a bunch of lookiloos. Warbirds frequent this airport for much the same thing we're about to do. It's standard fare around here. They usually have a 'gathering of Warbirds' at least once a year. It might be something we can attend if we can work it into our schedule."

Savannah didn't think there was a schedule. They needed to react to the information they uncovered as it was related to Skynet or any of its illegitimate offshoots. She knew they could always work something out with a sufficient amount of personnel.

She was open to Young Allison getting some additional practice. The change in pilots would allow Savannah to view the other sections of the plane in flight. So far she was only able to do it on the ground. Being on the ground, and being in the air, were two drastically different things.

"I'll check out the view from the nose, along with each of the other positions in the aircraft." Savannah said. "I want to experience what everyone else has. I want to check out the same views and see how the positions are as defensive positions. So far I've only used the offensive capability of the aircraft. It's actually defensive as well."

Young Allison's face beamed with a big smile. She was as happy about being in the pilot's seat as she was about Savannah putting her there without having to ask.

Savannah could see how happy Young Allison looked now. She knew what she wanted. She didn't like to make her have to ask for everything. She knew Young Allison really wanted to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge or she wouldn't have asked in the first place. She showed restraint by not asking for too much afterwards. Well, the opportunity to visit Reno or Las Vegas and mix it up with the Syndicate was more of an operational matter than a personal one, or was it?

Young Allison was also happy about what Savannah said as far as 'experiencing' what the others did. She planned to 'experience' everything Savannah did so far with her personal life. She wanted those same experiences for herself. How would she know what they were actually like until she experienced them? Thinking about something, or imagining it, just wasn't the same thing. She also knew some things people wished for turned out to be something they didn't like or care for. She didn't think it would be the case with the things Savannah did. Well, most of them anyway.

Sheila picked up a request from Cameron.

"Cameron wants one of us to fly Derek back." Sheila said.

Ally wanted to do it. It would give her a chance to be the pilot the entire time. She really didn't care for her current JAFO status.

"I'll do it." Ally said. "You hogged most of the flight time. Besides, I know you're itching to let Young Allison see your nipple rings again."

Sheila planned to do more if she could get away with it.

"If we're alone, I'll let her 'examine' them." Sheila said. "I can tell she wants to do it. There's nothing wrong with being curious. If she really wants to get a set, what can it hurt?"

Ally remembered Savannah's warning. She hoped Sheila did as well. Savannah indicated Young Allison was off limits to everyone. She was very forceful about it.

"You really do want to get deactivated." Ally said. "You'd better not overdo it. I think you're already on thin ice."

Sheila liked to have a little fun. Maybe sometimes she said more than would actually happen. She didn't think it was a big deal. It was going to happen sooner or later anyway. Why couldn't it happen now? There were other things she could let Young Allison examine too. She figured they might as well get a head start on their new task. She wanted to fly there first and give everything a good look.

"Let's go on ahead and check out the airfield in Madera." Sheila said.

Ally wanted to get on the same page as Cameron. She didn't want to jump the gun on anything or mess with Cameron's plans. As far as she knew there was a drone at altitude checking everything over right now. She was sure if she actually said it, CamNet would pick up on it and do it. She thought it would be better if Cameron made the decision.

"Let's clear it with Cameron first." Ally said. "It's possible she might change her mind and want to go somewhere else. I think the decision should be hers."

Sheila didn't think it was a big deal one way or the other.

"Sure, love, whatever you think is best." Sheila said.

Hanna and Claire shared with each other in Claire's room. Most of the 'work' was done by Hanna. Claire was given an extensive 'workout' with multiple 'finishes'. Hanna took it pretty far but she didn't take it 'all the way'.

"It's time for your firearms instruction with Jan and Summer." Hanna said.

Claire took in a deep breath and released it slowly.

"This will be a good test for me since I feel a little drained." Claire said. "I know I need to learn to operate under pressure. I know what we did isn't the same as a combat situation, but I need to get acclimated a little at a time anyway.

Hanna gave her a deep kiss.

"You'll do fine." Hanna said. "You're still in your prime."

Claire wasn't sure if she was in her prime or not. She thought those were her high school years. Those were the days. Sometimes they seemed like yesterday, especially with the way her lifestyle currently was. Other times it seems like ancient history and it might not ever have happened at all. The trouble was, she knew it actually did. She didn't like a lot of the things done to her by others, specifically males.

Once they were dressed, they headed out to meet up with Bob. They could hear some faint 'booming' as they neared the shooting range.

"It sounds like they already started." Hanna said.

Claire felt a little embarrassed. It seemed no matter how many 'finishes' she experienced, it wasn't enough. She always wanted another one.

"I delayed us a little longer than anticipated." Claire said.

Hanna contributed to the delay. She wanted Claire to be happy.

"It was my fault." Hanna said. "I wanted to satisfy you completely."

Claire still felt it was very one sided. She didn't feel she did enough.

"You did satisfy me, just like you always do." Claire said. "I neglected you."

Hanna didn't think it was a problem. There was a readily available solution at hand.

"You can make it up to me tonight." Hanna said.

Claire was ready for it.

"It's a deal." Claire said.

Hanna figured after Claire fell asleep, she could hook up with some of the Metal girls as well. They didn't sleep so they were usually available.

They entered the outer chamber of the small shooting range.

Hanna wanted to make sure safety came first.

"Get your ear and eye protection on." Hanna said. "We'll enter and see what they're up to."

Claire felt the anticipation of the upcoming target practice. It was always a thrill for her to shoot a firearm. When she was able to rapidly fire a weapon, or fire it fully automatic, it was a real rush for her. She liked to see the white smoke come out of the hand guard on a freshly cleaned firearm. It was on the long guns. She was much better at hitting the target now as well. She just needed to practice on getting to the center of the target for the next stage. She still knew if she needed to shoot at a human, they were going to have a really bad day anyway with the rounds which hit them.

Vanna nursed Precious again. She was in the 'nursery' connected to Riley's room. She knew Cam and Allison were sharing in her room, their room. It didn't bother her at all. The only female she felt insecure about was 'herself' - Savannah. Savannah was still the 'same teenager' Allison fell in love with in their future. She was very aware Savannah, like Cameron, could 'take' anyone away, from anyone. She would personally be glad when Young Allison conducted her temporal mission and was no longer on the sidelines. She knew Young Allison was going to be a handful for Savannah and Cameron. She knew she would be a handful for anyone. It would keep Savannah focused on Young Allison. She felt the sooner, the better, was what she wanted. It in itself would present new opportunities as well….

Jesse called once to see if she was needed. She gave a brief report and said they would be back soon. Riley was OK, it was the development of her body growing up which was the issue. It all came back to Skynet. Not only for the toxins in the environment, but the lack of proper food and nutrition for the humans who survived.

Vanna wondered about it. What was wrong with her body? Why couldn't she carry a child to term? There was no specific event she could think of which caused the problems. There were however a lot of other 'events'. There were scores of them.

"Damn Skynet." Vanna said as she thought about it. "I hate you. Everything wrong with me is your fault."

She didn't want to blame herself for something she wasn't responsible for. All of the problems of the future were created by Skynet. It was still hard not to feel somewhat responsible on her part. It was probably because of all the negative things She needed to endure and go through growing up. She avoided them when it was possible. But it wasn't possible. She did what was necessary to survive. She survived when a lot of others didn't. She looked down at Precious. If she would have done those things, she wouldn't be there right now to take care of 'Her Little Angel'.

Allison and Cam were alone in Vanna's room.

It always excited Allison to be with a cyborg who shared her DNA. It meant 'everything' on them was identical. When she looked at their sheath, she actually looked at 'herself'.

Cam allowed Allison to examine her 'again'. She didn't know why it was necessary since nothing would be different from the previous times. They did the same thing on several occasions. Allison always focused on one specific area. In reality, it was the only area which actually mattered.

"We've been over this before." Cam said. "They're identical in every way, even inside. Here, you can feel. There, see what I mean…."

Allison couldn't help it. She liked to see what she looked like to others 'everywhere'. It was an unusual perspective few other individuals could ever have. She wasn't even sure if identical twins are actually identical in every detail, especially 'down there'. She saw things like moles and the shape of their ears were slightly different on the few sets of identical twins she ever met. The cyborgs who shared her DNA were completely identical to her in every regard. She didn't want Cam to feel 'self conscious'. She was with her the least of the cyborgs who shared her DNA, except for Camille.

"I always ask Cammy and Ally to do it too." Allison said. "Future Allison told me about Duplicate Cameron and herself."

Cam gave Allison a deep kiss. She told Allison the same thing every time.

"We're identical in every detail." Cam said.

Allison felt the cyborgs were all much more beautiful than her. Ally didn't fix herself up as nice as Cam and Cammy did. They both looked like Cameron. Ally always looked a little more like her. Ally still looked better than her.

"I just don't feel like we're the same." Allison said.

Cam would usually remind her at this point again they were identical. There seemed to be another issue at play which wasn't being said outright.

"What are you really worried about?" Cam asked.

Technically Allison was worried about herself. Even if it wasn't actually 'herself'. It still was.

"I'm worried about Young Allison." Allison said. "She's going to be like Future Allison but even better at everything."

Cam didn't see why it was a problem. They were the same person. Allison was once Young Allison.

"You were her." Cam said.

Allison was sure they become different individuals at the point where Cameron introduced the Young family to the Resistance. It was done indirectly at first, but it was the point in time where who she was, and who Young Allison was, became separate. She wanted to point out what she felt were important distinctions.

"I was, but not anymore. I was her before Judgment Day." Allison said. "Before Skynet wrecked my body. I stopped being her much younger than she is now. I'm eternally grateful she never needed to experience what I did. I know it can still happen, but she is going to be better prepared to take care of herself than I was."

Cam knew of all the methods Skynet used to try and eradicate humans. To attack and kill them directly wasn't always necessary.

"Skynet sought various ways to exterminate mankind." Cam said. "They failed."

Allison saw it a little differently. Vanna and Jesse were sterile. She most likely wouldn't have her baby either. It was another way to wipe out humanity.

"They got some of us." Allison said.

Allison knew Jesse and Vanna were even harder hit than her.

Cam wanted to get Allison focused on her again. The sooner she could give Allison a 'finish', the quicker she could forget about her problems.

"Let me take the bottom." Cam said. "If you don't mind."

Allison always shared like she learned from Vanna. It was a very different perspective from either position. The view was always a little less aesthetic for the person on the bottom than it was for the one on the top.

"Vanna and I always switch." Allison said.

Cam wanted to get Allison's mind elsewhere. Maybe she should start in on her solo.

"We can do that." Cam said. "I can just please you too, if it's what you want."

Allison did want it. It was different from when she was with a human female or a Metal girl when they did it. She didn't like to leave someone hanging.

"I feel bad for you." Allison said.

Cam, like all of the Metal girls, possessed a solution for it.

"Don't feel bad." Cam said. "I can always replay a file."

Allison wondered what it would actually be like. It was impossible for her to think about a past encounter and achieve the same feeling as the actual encounter delivered. For the Metal girls, it was the same, even if it wasn't.

"I know it's not actually the same." Allison said.

Cam wanted to refocus Allison.

"Lay back and relax." Cam said. "You have one trip to heaven 'coming up'."

Allison giggled. She knew it was true. The Metal girls always delivered.

"If it's the case, you're my 'angel'." Allison said.

Cam thought she could offer Allison something better than an 'angel'.

"I'll even let you call me 'Cameron'." Cam said.

It always excited Allison for Cam, Cammy, or Ally to 'play' Cameron for her. Her excitement level just increased dramatically.

"You're going to get me 'there' before we even get started." Allison said.

Allison already started to touch herself. She couldn't wait.

Cam reached out and took over.

"Sometimes it's nice to have help." Cam said.

Earlier:

Sarah and Kyle 'finished' up. They were able to spend some quality time together.

Kyle needed to go on his recon mission.

"I need to see if Bob is ready." Kyle said.

Sarah hoped this wasn't going to be some veiled combat mission. It seemed more than a few of those turned into a little more than a recon.

"What's the hurry if it's a recon?" Sarah asked. "It's ONLY recon, right?"

Kyle didn't want Sarah to worry.

"Yes." Kyle said. "It's a recon only."

Kyle knew if he went out on any combat missions, there was a price to be paid in the bedroom. Sarah would show her 'disapproval' for a week or more. It left him 'high and dry'. He was aware it was an effective 'reminder' to stay out of combat whenever possible.

Sarah kissed Kyle.

"Just remember what you'll be missing if you forget." Sarah said.

Kyle knew the drill. He enjoyed sharing Sarah's love.

"You provided me with a good 'reminder' just now." Kyle said.

Sarah wanted to get the 'show on the road'.

"Let's get cleaned up and dressed." Sarah said. "I can take over for Bob if you want to get started."

Kyle knew that the danger was always real.

"I'm not really in a hurry, but I always worry about what can happen." Kyle said.

Sarah didn't need a reminder about the danger. Danger was no stranger to her. Things were a lot better now for her. She wanted to make sure Jan had a mother and a father.

"I worry too." Sarah said.

They both knew Cameron worried about all of them and would try to take the risk herself whenever she could. She proved it time and time again. She also paid a hefty price.

"WE all worry." Kyle said.

Sheila received the OK from Cameron to check out the airfield at Madera. They could land and get the Mustang fueled and ready to fly Derek back when he arrived in the Mitchell. Sheila neared the airfield at Madera. She checked the air space around her. John Henry indicated there were no other aircraft in the vicinity. She made sure of it.

"I don't see any other aircraft around." Sheila said.

Alley wanted to get ready for her time in the front seat.

"Just land, I'm tired of looking at the back of your head." Ally said.

Sheila thought of a few possibilities with her statement.

Ally thought of switching chips with a male Terminator before. It was something all of the female Terminators thought about at one point. They wondered how it would make them 'different'. So far only Cameron was in a male chassis. It was actually several of them.

"Maybe I can switch chips with Bob or John Henry." Ally said. "Then I won't mind looking at the back of your head. Maybe I can switch with Jim and really stretch things out on you."

Sheila often toyed with the idea herself. She was sure she would go wild or even wilder.

"Either way, I'll be 'flying'." Sheila said.

Ally spotted a fuel truck.

"There's the tanker." Ally said.

Sheila wanted to do a low level high speed pass.

"Let me 'cut the grass' once." Sheila said.

Sheila entered a shallow dive and firewalled the throttle. She came in low over the runway and performed a high speed pass.

Ally felt it was unnecessary, but Sheila always liked to make a statement. She didn't plan on doing it when she returned with Derek.

"I'm not going to be able to do it at Van Nuys when we get back." Ally said. "Cameron already warned us about all the 'plane haters' around the airport."

Sheila thought about it for a few seconds.

"It makes you wonder why they moved in next to an airport. Didn't they wonder why the houses and rents were cheaper around the airport?" Sheila asked. "It's the same thing with people who move in next to or near the railroad tracks. They all know what's there, but then they complain about it because it is there. They could have moved elsewhere to begin with. They still can move."

Sheila came around again. She lowered her landing gear and set down very smoothly. She taxied near the tanker and swung the plane around. She shut it off before the maneuver was completed.

Ally didn't feel the need to do things like it all of the time. Maybe every now and then she did, but she felt everyone did. It just wasn't the all the time like it was for Sheila.

"Show off." Ally said.

Sheila unstrapped and loosened her top. It was time to let one of the 'girls' out and get some good service.

"You know me." Sheila said. "Let's see what the tanker driver thinks about my nipple rings."

Ally didn't think it was necessary.

"Oh, brother." Ally said. "Why don't you just take your pants off while you're at it and show him something good?"

Sheila liked the idea. She knew it would really get his attention. She knew it would get everyone's attention.

The tanker driver was really surprised to see two females exit the P-51. He was even more surprised when he saw how beautiful they both were.

"You really know how to fly the plane." The tanker driver said.

Sheila liked to make a statement and throw people off guard.

"I know my way around." Sheila said as she let her right breast pop out. "In a lot of places."

The tanker driver was transfixed as he looked at Sheila's exposed breast.

Sheila could see he was a little unsure what to say or do.

"I take it you don't see nipple rings around here too often." Sheila said.

The tanker driver actually didn't see a lot of breasts at all. Of course when he was on the internet it was a different story. He would certainly add a new search parameter to his viewing the next time.

"I've never seen any in person." The tanker driver said. "It's beautiful, like you are."

Sheila saw she could 'control' the tanker driver. She could also have a little fun with him.

"I have a matching set." Sheila said.

She lifted her top and flashed the tanker driver.

She watched both of his eyes open wide. It was clear he was totally transfixed and infatuated with her.

"It's really hot." The tanker driver said.

Ally wanted to get things moving.

"So is the weather." Ally said. "Fill us up. I'll help."

They inspected the Mustang and fueled it up.

The tanker driver kept looking at them.

They both let him know they knew he was staring at them.

"I'd tell you to take a picture because it will last longer." Sheila said. "Just so you know ahead of time, no pictures are allowed."

The tanker driver looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry." The tanker driver said.

Ally wanted to prepare him for what he was going to see in a few minutes.

"When my sisters get here, you'll like all of them even better." Ally said. "They will arrive soon in a B-25."

The tanker driver didn't see how any other females were going to look better than these two, especially if they could fly. He was pleased the Mustang was there. Mitchell's weren't a stranger to the airfield at Madeira either. It gave him something to look forward to.

Wait.

Did she say sisters…?

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Everything's Perfect

What do I see
When I look into your eyes
Is it really you
Or another batch of lies

I hear your words
What are you not saying
It's what you won't say
That's so dismaying

Be honest to me
Why not try the truth
I need read between the lines
Having to be a sleuth

You think you're protecting me
You're only protecting yourself
You really want me in storage
Waiting patiently on a shelf

So I must watch and suffer
As another you addict
Accepting your lies, pretending
Everything's perfect

Nobody
