Chapter 1125

Vector Me In

Savannah checked with John Henry and CamNet before she went inside the restaurant. Everything was being dealt with and seemed to be under control for now. Events were still developing. So far the Metal girls hadn't been directly attacked yet. They were still being tracked by two vehicles and possibly a third. There were no motorcycles in the vicinity. She was aware there were eight drones on station. There was one for each of the girls specifically and two for reconnaissance. Since the girls were divided into three vehicles, it allowed one of the drones with each vehicle to do additional reconnaissance as well. She didn't want there to be a drone strike on a city street because of the collateral damage and the publicity which was sure to follow.

She knew it was possible for a situation to develop rapidly and a more intense response might be required. She understood the protection of the team came first. If things went ballistic, she wanted the Metal girls protected. They could figure everything else out later on. She wanted the Metal girls protected, but she wanted some moderation as well. She knew it might be something Young Allison and her butted heads over going forward.

"If anything changes I need to know." Savannah said. "I want a controlled response when it's necessary."

John Henry already heard the same thing from John.

"I'll keep you informed." John Henry said. "I'm working directly with CamNet and the response will be limited."

John Henry was aware Young Allison could change the dynamic of the operation at any time. He hoped because she was there with Savannah, she would consult Savannah first. He thought about pointing it out to Savannah, but decided not to. She was the one there with the Young Allison.

John felt they imposed enough. He didn't want Cameron to get involved. He figured the longer they spoke with Savannah, the more likely it was to be. He was aware Cameron could be fed information by CamNet at any point as well. He figured Cameron showed remarkable restraint if she currently received all of the information from CamNet. Maybe she did and just wanted to test the girls. She wasn't going to be there tomorrow at this time to get involved in anything. The current operation would show her what would happen in her absence. He wanted to give her a subtle reminder about Cameron as indirectly as he could.

"We have it for now, Savannah." John said. "I want you to enjoy dinner and keep everyone as safe as possible. It includes yourself."

Savannah went over everything again with John and was satisfied the operation progressed smoothly. She spoke with Young Allison and they both agreed everything was good. Cammy would stay in contact with John Henry and Anna would stay in contact with CamNet.

Cameron looked curious. She watched Savannah and Young Allison act and try to keep everything cordial. She still needed to ask. She resisted the urge to check multiple times and see what was actually happening. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to know a little more.

"How is everything?" Cameron asked.

Savannah smiled at Cameron.

"Everything is fine." Savannah said. "There's nothing for you to worry about."

Cameron nodded and took both of the Reese brothers by the arm and went inside the restaurant with them. It was somewhat of a surprise for everyone.

Cammy didn't really want to go in. She could have better control of things away from the others and especially away from Cameron.

"I better wait outside with Bob." Cammy said. "I want to better monitor everything."

Savannah didn't like the idea. She didn't want Cammy to feel excluded. She wanted Cammy to accompany her.

"You don't need to." Savannah said.

Cammy wanted to keep Cameron out of it. The more information she received, the more likely Cameron was to intercept it. She knew when Cameron started to get involved, she would want to get even more involved once the nature of the problem was learned.

"I want to make sure nothing gets out of hand." Cammy said. "It's better this way, Savannah."

Cammy wanted to make sure Savannah received a good meal. She didn't like the way Cameron ran Savannah around all the time and treated her like a Terminator. She tried to make sure she never did it. She was aware there may be times when she started to. She was usually able to correct herself and make sure all of Savannah's needs were addressed in a proper and timely manner.

Savannah kissed Cammy on the cheek. She didn't want to make an issue about it. She also didn't want it messed up. Most of all she wanted to keep Cameron out of it.

"I want a limited response." Savannah said. "Do what it takes to get it done. Keep me informed on anything which needs a decision. Watch Sheila's actions. You know what I mean. I don't want her to get carried away. It's not the kind of response John wants since the Resistance is involved. It's not the type of response I would prefer either."

Savannah wondered if they uncovered more information if she would change her tune. Maybe there might be some type of massive abuse discovered. She was also aware there might be females and even some males who were being held captive somewhere as part of whatever the group they were about to deal with was involved with.

Young Allison was next to Savannah. She listened to everything she said. She caught the specific mention about Sheila. She knew what it was in reference to. She looked up similar events on the internet previously. Strangely enough, there were some which were voluntary. They were definitely in the minority. It wasn't something for her to think about right now. She knew Savannah would get upset at her if she did or became involved with what she told Cammy to watch out for.

They headed for the entrance of the restaurant. She looked back once and didn't like what she saw. She thought Cammy should have accompanied them inside. It didn't seem right to exclude her. She waited until they were alone before she said something.

"Cammy should have come inside with us." Young Allison said.

Savannah knew it was a sensitive issue. There was a matter of perception involved with everything. She felt there was a good working relationship between Cammy and her.

"Cammy isn't being excluded on purpose." Savannah said. "She's worried about Cameron too. She'll act as 'Cameron' if she needs to. She'll be able to deal with any issues quicker if Cameron isn't there to overhear her conversation or any of her decisions. It's not an ideal situation, but under the circumstances it's better for Cameron this way."

Anna joined the girls. She caught the tail end of the conversation and understood the gist of it. She checked her phone. She wanted to reassure Young Allison.

"Cammy, John Henry, or CamNet will contact me if necessary." Anna said. "We have things covered. Cammy will do the heavy lifting, but I'm your personal liaison if something develops which needs further attention. I will notify you right away if it's necessary. As much as we need to react to protect our troops, we also need not to overreact. One can be as bad as the other if things get out of hand."

Young Allison didn't quite agree with everything. She didn't want to take any chances either. She knew the others wanted a limited response. She wanted to make her position clear. It was what she planned to do. If she were on her own and in her bunker, she would make sure it happened. Since Savannah was there, she wanted to make her aware about her plans.

"If it starts to go 'south', I want CamNet to hit hard." Young Allison said.

Savannah looked at Young Allison but didn't' countermand her. She knew it was the appropriate response if things turned dicey. The Metal girls needed to be protected. She didn't want collateral damage, but understood Young Allison's concern. The protection of their troops came first.

"We will do what needs to be done to make sure the Metal girls are protected." Savannah said. "If it comes to it, the cards will land where they fall. Our goal is to prevent the enemy, exactly whoever they are, from gaining the upper hand in any situation. If more drastic action is necessary, it will be so."

Young Allison and Savannah shared a knowing look. They were very pleased with each other's response so far.

Savannah joined up with Cameron who released the Reese brothers as she paid for everyone. The cashier told them they could sit wherever they wanted. There were a lot of empty seats. They figured they might as well get started. They headed for the plates. Anna followed Young Allison.

Cameron looked back. She noticed Bob and Cammy weren't there when she paid.

"Where are Cammy and Bob?" Cameron asked. "Are they coming later?"

Savannah wanted to keep it simple. She felt everything was under control so far. She preferred to keep it the same way.

"It's a nice night for a walk. They're enjoying the fresh evening air." Savannah said. "Did you pay for them?"

Cameron heard much of the discussion as it happened. She was aware neither one of them were coming, but she wanted to see what Savannah would say. It was clear Savannah and Young Allison wanted to play everything close to the vest. They wanted to take the lead on the operation, but were limited because they were with her.

"No." Cameron said. "I only paid for those who actually entered the building. If they choose to join us later, I will pay for them as well, even if they won't actually eat anything. I don't want the proprietors to become upset and think we're sharing food with someone who didn't actually pay."

Savannah didn't want to say anything else about it.

"I'm sure if they finish their walk early, they'll let us know." Savannah said.

Cameron looked at Savannah for a long moment. She waited for Savannah to elaborate some more but there was no elaboration forthcoming.

They both looked at each other for a long moment. There was a lot said with the silence.

Savannah knew it meant Cameron was aware of everything. She must be in contact with CamNet. She wanted to find out what Cameron already knew. If she knew too much, it could start to have an impact. It was time to get a straight answer out of Cameron.

"How much do you know?" Savannah asked.

Cameron smiled. She wanted to give the others some freedom to operate. She also wanted John to see what a threat future Scavengers posed. She wanted John to see the girls could handle the problem with or without him. She didn't want him to worry about any of the Resistance operations for the next week starting tomorrow.

"I know everything." Cameron said. "I'm letting John, Young Allison, and you deal with it. It's a learning and educational process for the three of you."

Savannah appreciated Cameron's confidence. She figured Cameron always knew more than she let on. It appeared in this case there wasn't anything she didn't know.

"Thank you, Cameron." Savannah said. "You need to know there are others to step up when you're away with John on your honeymoon. You need to have confidence and believe in them so you can enjoy yourself and not need to worry about things. The only thing you need to worry about is John and yourself."

Cameron smiled at Savannah and touched her cheek.

"I'm going to join Young Allison and Anna at the dessert bar." Cameron said.

Savannah didn't like to encourage bad eating habits for Young Allison. She was aware the Metal girls seldom tried anything. If they did, it was usually dessert related. It seemed to be because everyone indicated dessert was the best part of the meal. Whenever she asked any of the Metal girls what they thought about the food they tasted, they all replied every taste set off a number of warnings in their HUD about the nature of the food. It was usually either loaded with too much sodium, fat, or sugar related products. She wanted Cameron to try something she would like on her own.

"It's not a good example." Savannah said. "At least Anna and you will get some things to try a taste of."

Cameron touched her belly. There was a serious look on her face.

"I don't look fat do I?" Cameron asked.

Savannah wondered what her question was about. She couldn't help but look down at Cameron's flat stomach. It looked like it always did.

"No, you're still good." Savannah said.

Savannah went over with Cameron to the dessert bar and collected Young Allison. She would deal with things herself.

"I want you to eat a balanced meal first." Savannah said.

Savannah expected a wisecrack or a protest by Young Allison, but there was none.

Young Allison looked back at Anna and Cameron as Savannah led her away. She figured they wouldn't try more than a taste of any of the items they picked. It meant there would be plenty left over for the rest of them.

"Lead the way." Young Allison said. "I'm worried about all of them too."

Savannah wanted it over. She could see some more human reaction from Young Allison and she thought it was a good thing. Going for the desserts first was one way to deal with it. It pleased her to know the 'girl' was still inside of Young Allison no matter how much she tried to suppress it. She knew sometimes when they interacted she could bring it out of Young Allison as well. It was the part of Young Allison she didn't want her to 'outgrow' herself from.

She hadn't heard any negative information about the operation. There weren't any problems indicated so far. It could all change rapidly. She felt confidence in everyone involved in the operation.

"It should be over soon." Savannah said. "I'd say let's not worry about it, but I know we're both going to do so anyway. There are a lot of good individuals assisting us on this operation. Everyone knows what to do."

Young Allison was ready for the results. She regained her calm composure.

"Now we can enjoy our meal." Young Allison said.

Savannah thought Young Allison seemed a little cold. The 'Terminator' in her upbringing began to show again. She wanted to hold Young Allison in check. She wanted to point out a grim reality.

"Will you be able to enjoy your meal even if you know people are going to die?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison knew the current event wasn't brought on their team by their own doing. The actions of the perpetrators dictated their fate. Not the Metal girls. They were merely the executioners for the sentence the thugs gave themselves. It was the thugs who chose to be the perpetrators against individuals they thought to be weaker than them. They were about to be in for a rude awakening.

The fact there were going to be deaths didn't bother Young Allison because of who they were. Life was about choices. The perpetrators made the wrong choice. She didn't know for a fact, but she was willing to bet the thugs were responsible for many cruel and vicious crimes. Many of them were probably against females. Everything in life came with consequences. It all came down to winning or losing in the end.

"It won't bother me in the slightest. We're going to win and they're going to lose." Young Allison said. "It's all I see. It's just that simple. They are free to disengage at any point before contact and reject their lifestyle of ill repute. We both know it's not going to happen because they're predators. I think we can both imagine what they plan to do to any females they put the grab on. Under different circumstances, it could be us they were after. They will get what they deserve by their own actions."

It all bothered Savannah a little. It bothered her more because none of it ever seemed to really bother Young Allison. She could really see the 'Terminator upbringing' of Young Allison in play there. She also saw the human side of her earlier for a time. It would be her job to keep it alive and expand it in Young Allison. She didn't want her to end up like Future John and make mistakes which caused the loss of lives with indifference. She didn't want those lives to be either human lives or Terminator lives.

Savannah didn't need to think any further than Vanna, Jesse, or Allison to know where Young Allison's actions came from. Payback was a Bitch in any timeline. She didn't for a second doubt it was vengeance driven on Young Allison's part because of what happened to the girls from the future. She was well aware one of 'those girls' was Young Allison, and one of them was her.

She couldn't really blame Young Allison if she wanted to be vindictive. She just didn't want her around Sheila when it was time for the retribution to start. Those were thoughts she didn't need to have in her mind. It made her remember when she was willing to cross the line more than once when she was upset about almost being killed at several different locations. Maybe she was angry because she almost died. Maybe she was angry at the people who were responsible, even if some of them were indirectly involved.

The Metal girls acquired two additional vehicles. They split up into pairs with the three vehicles.

Gail and Ally were headed back to the club to deal with the blonde. They didn't want her to get away. They were sure at some point it was going to get back to the blonde the crew sent out after the other females ran into trouble or simply disappeared.

Cam and Sheila checked into a beachfront motel with the SUV they were tracked in originally. They wanted to use it as bait. Hanna and Holly backed them up. They seemed to have plenty of drone coverage and an ambush plan was set up.

The Metal girls planned to put an end to their pursuit. They planned to put an end to the aggressors as well.

Cam and Sheila would handle the thugs who entered their room.

Holly and Hanna would handle the ones at the vehicles, and any who remained outside.

Mel and Al would arrive soon and back up Hanna and Holly outside. If more Terminators arrived before the thugs made their move, Hanna and Holly would join Cam and Sheila inside. Jim was on his way too, plus some of Cameron's Terminators. There was always a big response with Young Allison's involvement. When Young Allison unleashed CamNet, she responded. Young Allison specifically asked for more Terminators on the ground along with the additional drone support.

Cam's team was given specific information by CamNet where to go and where to check in at. The location was determined to offer the best possible outcome for the Metal girls and to deal with the aggressors. There was also room available at the motel.

"We've checked into our first floor motel room." Cam said. "Everything was already arranged when we arrived. It's a good location with the potential for minimal foot traffic. It will be easier to dispose of the bodies this way."

John didn't want needless action. He wanted things over with quickly. John Henry suggested they turn everything over to CamNet so it officially became an 'off the books' operation. He wasn't ready to do it yet. He still wanted some control. He didn't know how much he would be able to have over anyone based upon the nature of who the perpetrators were. He would try to keep things from going 'Scavenger' by anyone.

"I want them terminated and nothing else." John said. "It's still a Resistance operation until we find out for sure the operatives are not Skynet related. Nobody believes they are. It was our girls who were targeted. This isn't a fight any of us looked for."

Sheila felt shortchanged. She liked to 'work' on sex traffickers in a special way. She was well aware of what they did to a multitude of females over the years. It was the same story for all of them. They all thought they were untouchable. They all thought they could prey on innocent females forever. In their case, 'forever' was a lot shorter than they ever imagined. It wouldn't be the only thing shorter either when she was done. It seemed to upset them the most because it appeared to be females who took them down. They never could comprehend what a Terminator was. There needed to be some 'justice' before their self imposed sentence of termination was enacted.

"Some people know how to spoil all the fun." Sheila said. "I knew I should have gone with Gail."

John Henry pointed out to Sheila why she was where she was at. They didn't want her to 'work' on the blonde Bitch.

"It's why you weren't allowed to go with Gail." John Henry said. "You need to stay mission focused."

Sheila was about ready to respond when Cam waved her off. She didn't want any restrictions placed on them officially by an 'order'.

Cam checked around the room. They were ready.

"How soon will it be until they arrive?" Cam asked. "Everything's set to go."

John wanted more Terminators there. They were on the way. They sufficiently delayed the hostile vehicles at almost every intersection along the route as they pursued the Metal girls.

"Mel, Al, and Jim should all arrive before they do." John said. "Our team should be able to deliver a decisive blow instantly."

Sheila figured if she couldn't have any fun, others could deal with the mess.

"Good, someone else can do the clean up for a change." Sheila said.

Cam wanted a little more information on the operation. She wanted a better idea of exactly what they were about to face. There were several ways the Command Center could have come up with additional information.

"Have you restored their communications?" Cam asked.

John Henry allowed them to communicate briefly to see what they would actually face.

"Only long enough to identify everyone." John Henry said. "There are only three vehicles. One is a van used for transporting the females."

Cam was aware the van was referred to as a 'meat wagon'. They ran across those in various combinations on missions with Cameron.

Sheila still hoped to sneak in some action.

"How many targets will we have?" Sheila asked.

John Henry was able to identify everyone. He didn't think it would be a problem for their Terminators to deal with. There were seven Terminators to deal with six thugs.

"There are six. There are two with each vehicle." John Henry said. "Hopefully things will transpire smoothly and quickly."

John figured four of them would try to make the move on the Metal girls. He doubted all six of them would enter the building. They would want to have a look out and make sure they could move the girls from the motel room to the van unobserved.

"I think they will leave one, maybe two, in the parking lot with their vehicles." John said.

Cam thought they developed a good plan. She wondered how the traffickers were supposed to identify them. She didn't believe the tracker was sophisticated enough to where they could identify the room they were in. There shouldn't be a visual record of them since John Henry took control of the security system. She was sure they would have to be identified by description.

"If Hanna and Holly are freed up, we should be able to handle the ones who come in." Cam said. "How do they know what we look like? All their cameras were jammed, right?"

John Henry didn't want to get too descriptive on how long he was in the security system.

"Yes." John Henry said.

John did hear the men raise the same issue in the brief time their phones were turned back on.

"They did complain about the lack of photos." John said. "They wanted to make sure they picked up the right girls."

John Henry offered a few suggestions.

"They only have vague descriptions to work with, since I erased all their hard drives." John Henry said. "If they see Sheila with a 'nip slip' or topless, they will have a positive ID on her. There aren't too many females with nipple rings. Most of them have studs or barbells. Hanna should stand out too because of her red hair. Cam and Holly will both stand out as super gorgeous along with Sheila and Hanna. You all look much better than the average female out on the street."

Cam took it all in. She liked the compliment even if it was rather indirect and not specific. She wanted to get the operation wrapped up.

"We're ready." Cam said.

John Henry said he would keep them posted. He thought the 'slavers' would arrive in twelve minutes. He was very pleased with how much he was able to delay them.

Cam received word from CamNet earlier about Savannah's wishes for the terminations. They were the same as John's wishes.

"I want clean terminations." Cam said. "We'll use the silenced pistols if we need to. I think Hanna and Holly will be able to join us before they arrive. Once we know they've entered the building we will walk by them and lead them straight to our room."

Sheila still wanted some type of action.

"Maybe I can act like I want to pick up on them. We can invite them to our room." Sheila said. "It should keep them even more off guard."

Cam didn't want to get ahead of themselves. They didn't know how many men would enter the motel. It was a safe bet the men were going to be armed with some type of firearms. It was possible they may carry some less than lethal weapons as well. They could have anything from cattle prods to Tasers. Previous experience indicated the slavers didn't want to damage the females. Damaged females didn't bring top dollar. It was all about money to them, plus whatever 'fringe benefits' they could get out of the females before they were sold. Drugs usually made the females compliant rather quickly.

"We'll see." Cam said. "I want to know exactly how many we're facing first."

Cam hoped to pull this off smooth and clean. They didn't want to create an incident and hoped to contain everything. She was with Cameron on enough of the operations with Cammy to know things didn't always go as planned. There were no other females involved like they normally needed to free. When there were female captives, if any of them were younger females, Cameron always looked the other way while Sheila went to 'work' on the traffickers. Everything came with a price. Sheila collected the 'tab' before their termination.

She glanced over at Sheila as she thought about it. She wasn't opposed to the action Sheila took. The only part about it which disturbed her was the satisfaction and joy Sheila seemed to derive from such activity. It seemed very sexual to Sheila. It was the way Sheila would taunt and laugh at the perpetrators as they were nullified which probably bothered her more than the actual act of nullification.

Sheila still wanted to get her pound of flesh since they'd been specifically targeted. She looked at Cam and could see she was deep in thought. Cam looked over in her direction. She touched her knife and smiled at Cam.

Cam didn't smile back. She turned away from Sheila instead. There was no way to know how things were going to play out going forward.

Gail and Ally were headed back to the club. There was unfinished business there they needed to deal with. It was very personal in nature for both of them.

To Gail it was personal since the blonde was the one who tagged her. She was determined to snap her neck. She might even take her time about it so the blonde could think about her fate. She didn't normally fool around when it was time to terminate someone. She's simply stepped up and did the job. She knew it wasn't always the case for some of the other female Terminators. Sheila was the biggest fan of non standard terminations. It wasn't the route she wanted to take or the path she wanted to follow. In this case she did want the blonde Bitch to know who Terminated her. It was personal. The blonde bitch made it personal with her actions and the way she did them.

Ally was worried about some of the other women who were there. She wasn't so sure the other females who were with the blonde weren't in danger as well. More than likely they were targeted for sale as well.

"What about the blonde's friends?" Ally asked.

Gail wasn't sure about what was what. She thought they seemed more like acquaintances as opposed to friends.

"They may not be her friends but additional 'marks' at this point." Gail said.

Ally knew it was the same conclusion she reached. She knew Gail wanted some blood. She wanted to play it cool. She didn't want things to escalate too quickly. She wanted to make sure anyone they needed to terminate, was someone who needed to be terminated.

"I think we need to wait and see if she leaves first." Ally said. "I don't think terminating her in front of a hundred females is a good idea. It's going to make us look like the bad guys instead of the good guys."

Gail was still upset.

"It will send a message." Gail said.

Ally thought witnesses were a bad idea.

"I think her dead body will send a message when it's found off the premises." Ally said. "People don't need to see it happen. The majority of the females there weren't involved with anything. It would be very traumatic for them to see another individual, especially a female, beaten to a pulp and her neck snapped. I don't think you're just going to snap her neck."

Gail didn't want to really discuss what she wanted to do. She did plan to bust her up first. She could break a number of bones and still have the female remain conscious to know what was coming. She didn't want her target to get away.

"Let me check with John Henry to see where the blonde is at." Gail said.

Gail contacted John Henry. She tried to play it cool.

John Henry still controlled all of the security feeds and surveillance cameras inside of the nude club for females only. He was a little surprised at what he was able to observe.

"I have her on their surveillance cameras." John Henry said. "She seems highly agitated."

Ally wondered if there was some new threat. It seemed as if she was in communication with someone. She figured it happened during the time when John Henry unblocked everything so he could identify all of the players. He was sure they would all try to call somebody and they did. It could be something more as well.

"What happened?" Ally asked. "Is something different?"

John Henry didn't know for sure.

"I think it's because I cut the communications." John Henry said. "It was only when I briefly turned them back on when she contacted the crew looking for our girls. It's when she became agitated."

"Why?" Gail asked.

John Henry changed their plan for them inadvertently.

"The crew was supposed to stage a 'traffic accident' and take the girls on the street. They didn't want them to check into a motel." John Henry said. "I think it's because of the surveillance cameras in the motel. They don't want to be identified."

Ally wanted to know what occurred with the other female associates of the blonde. She was sure there was more in play than they first thought.

"What happened to her friends?" Ally asked. "We think they may have been targeted too."

John Henry reached the same conclusion Gail and Ally did.

"I believe they're targeted for later." John Henry said. "I don't think they were her friends but were actually other 'marks'. They are all either drugged or highly intoxicated now. I believe it was one of the offers she made to Gail and Cam."

Gail wondered if they needed to rescue the other females too. She knew once a female was incapacitated, a number of different things could happen to her.

"How badly are they incapacitated?" Gail asked. "Where are they?"

John Henry tracked them when they left the inside of the club to a location near the pool area.

"They're still in a cabana." John Henry said. "The blonde left them there when she took off."

Gail didn't want the blonde to get away. The latest news from John Henry only further upset her.

"Where's the blonde now?" Gail asked.

John Henry watched her start to dress. He didn't think she would be at the location much longer. He wasn't exactly sure what she was up to. It didn't look like she was going to bolt. She seemed a little more focused. He continued to observe her.

"She's getting dressed." John Henry said. "I see she has car keys. I think she's going to go where the Metal girls are at in the motel. She's probably going to try and lure them away from there. I'm sure she'll at least try to get them out of the building and into the parking lot."

Gail planned to stop the blonde.

"She's never going to get there." Gail said.

Ally was worried about the other females who were targeted. There must be some pre-arrangement as to what would happen to them. It seemed like something she should attempt to interdict.

"What about the three drugged girls?" Ally asked. "I want to know their status. It's possible someone is going to come and collect them."

John Henry didn't see it as important.

"It isn't our concern." John Henry said.

Ally didn't like his answer. She wanted another opinion on the issue. Savannah wasn't currently in communication with the Command Center, but John was in there and she figured CamNet would pick up on her question and forward it if it was deemed appropriate to Savannah or Young Allison. She would try the direct approach first.

"Do you agree with it, John?" Ally asked. "Do you want us to just turn our backs and walk away? Who knows what fate is going to befall those three helpless females?"

John felt they faced enough trouble. The other females were outside the scope of Resistance operations. They were only dealing with the current threat because the Metal girls were specifically targeted. He thought about all the other criminal activity which occurred all the time everywhere around them. They were there to do a specific job about protecting the future from Skynet. They couldn't possibly deal with every minor issue.

"We shouldn't get involved." John said.

Ally knew how to play the system, especially when Savannah and Young Allison were involved. CamNet would help rectify things.

"I have a feeling you're going to be 'involved' since we just discussed this." Ally said.

John wondered what her comment was all about. He felt the issue was settled.

"What's' that supposed to mean?" John asked. "Wait, I'm getting a call from Savannah now, hold on."

Gail and Ally looked at each other and smiled.

Ally knew exactly what was going on.

"I think there are other females who are going to see things a little differently, especially since they know what happened to them in the future John created." Ally said. "They're not going to allow something to happen to someone when we're in a position to do something about it."

It was clear Savannah and Young Allison wouldn't allow needless abuse to any females when they could prevent it. If Cameron was involved directly, she wouldn't either.

Gail didn't like what happened to any of the girls from the alternate future.

"It was a mistake on John's part." Gail said.

Ally was sure John was about to make another mistake.

"I hope John realizes if we don't take care of this, Cameron is going to." Ally said. "Nobody is going to walk away from this like it didn't happen."

Gail didn't want the blonde to get away.

"We'll come back here some other time on our own if we need to." Gail said. "We can clean up anything else we need to then."

Moments ago:

Savannah played around with Young Allison and made a few jokes with Cameron, Anna, Kyle, and Derek. They were all having a good time.

Derek and Kyle were even more impressed with Young Allison's knowledge and understanding of things. It was clear she knew more about most things than they did. They were glad she didn't know about some of them. The future was an ugly place.

Cameron watched all of them interact. She was pleased with her 'family'.

She noticed Anna suddenly react to her com and look at Savannah. She went to Savannah and whispered in her ear. Savannah excused herself and got up from the table. Young Allison followed her.

"We'll check on Cammy and Bob." Savannah said. "I don't want them to feel too lonely."

They returned two minutes later and picked up the joking where they left off.

Savannah looked at Cameron who smiled and nodded once at her.

Cameron was aware of what transpired and was pleased at the decisions made. They were all what she would have done herself. She wanted to give the girls total freedom in this operation. They did everything the same as she would have. Young Allison did even more than she would have. She didn't think she should be surprised since Young Allison did the same thing with the last few operations they were on.

She was going to give specific instructions to Ally and Sheila about the current operation if things weren't taken care of tonight.

Minutes ago:

John received an earful from Savannah. He thought it was bad enough. Savannah handed the phone to Young Allison and she laid into him. He decided to modify the assignments. It was actually what he knew he should have done all along. He tried to cut a corner to speed things along, as well as limit their involvement.

"Gail, you're going after the blonde and Ally is going to the club." John said. "We need to see what else happens around there."

Gail and Ally looked at each other. They both knew it's what was going to happen as soon as John received the call from Savannah. They knew CamNet would alert her.

Ally saw her prompting worked.

"What a surprise." Ally said. "You've experienced a sudden change of heart."

John was sure he was played. He should have realized CamNet would detect his lack of inaction and contact those who were willing to do a little more. He was actually glad CamNet contacted the girls instead of acting on her own, which he was sure would have been the next step. He was even more relieved Cameron didn't get it directly involved. He wanted the operation over before she did.

"It was an eye opener." John said. "Maybe I should say an ear opener."

John Henry wanted to focus on the operation. He didn't want John's unwillingness to act to come back on him. There were no males visible where the females were currently at in the club. It was clear males worked there to do maintenance and other tasks. They just weren't out where the females were at. He hadn't seen any males around the cabana so he didn't think any of the females were abused yet.

"Ally, I want you to check on the girls in the cabana and I will dispatch 911 if necessary." John Henry said.

Ally wanted to rub it in a little with John.

"Did Savannah have anything to say?" Ally asked.

John didn't need another ribbing. Savannah's bite wasn't the hardest.

"Yes she did." John said. "Young Allison seemed to have more to say. They reminded me of things which occurred to some of our team members in the future and how those events changed their lives."

Ally worked to 'borrow' another vehicle.

"I'm about to boost some new wheels now." Ally said.

Gail wanted to get her task completed with extreme prejudice.

"I want John Henry to vector me to where the blonde Bitch is at or goes." Gail said. "I don't want her to get away. If she starts to think things have gone wrong, she may bolt."

John didn't see the need to rush things. He was sure they knew where she was headed.

"You can take her at the motel." John said. "We'll round up the entire group."

Gail wasn't about to take any chances with this one.

"I want to follow her, vector me in." Gail said. "I don't want any fast ones pulled."

John Henry would assist Gail to stay with the blonde.

"I'll use traffic management to make sure she doesn't elude you." John Henry said.

The blonde indicated she wanted a date. Gail intended to make sure she got it. The blonde Bitch had a date with destiny as far as she was concerned. The blonde Bitch gave herself a one way ticket. She intended to be the one to punch it.

"She won't elude me." Gail said. "We have a date. I intend to keep it."

Gail briefly wondered if she would rupture the blonde's implants by crushing them before she snapped her neck. She wanted to make a statement. She would like to see the look on her face when she forced her neck down to look at the pulp remains of her cosmetic surgery. She might even crush and rip something else off as well. She didn't want her anger to get away from her.

There were times when she didn't understand why Jesse did some of the things she did in the past, her future, as well as in the present. Her dealings with the blonde Bitch seemed to help clear some of the issues up. There were obviously certain things which needed to be dealt with a certain way for certain reasons.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Vector Me In

Nobody wants to be
Thrown into the waste bin
It would only confirm
They're really a has been

Beauty is much deeper
Than just one's skin
To not think otherwise
Is little more than a sin

When things go wrong
We'd like to blame a twin
When there isn't one
The excuse looks pretty thin

Don't let it end
Before it can even begin
Stick around and play
For the big win

Turn the sad frown
Into a happy grin
Stick with the truth
Forget about the spin

Look for the clues
Of what's really within
When it's found
Vector me in

Nobody
