Chapter 1221

Those Are Mine

Cam piloted the jet back towards Van Nuys. She did an eight point aileron roll as she passed by the ship. No other risky maneuvers were attempted as she climbed up to altitude.

There was a contributing factor to Cam's restraint. It was a phone call from Young Allison. On the way back to Van Nuys, she was contacted by CamNet with a new set of instructions. There was a situation which would need her attention.

John Henry was pleased with the restraint. He didn't want to see the 'Cameron' in her. It could be reckless and abusive at times. They soon landed without incident on One Six Right at Van Nuys. They taxied and parked the jet.

Cam and John Henry exited the aircraft. They gave it a quick 'once around'.

"I need to take the SUV." Cam said. "I need to help Cammy and Savannah. Something has developed."

John Henry wanted to go back to the base. He thought Cam should go with him. He was still a little concerned with her earlier behavior. He wanted to do a little more observation of her. He was sure her disposition would improve when she saw Vanna.

"Don't you want to go back to the base first?" John Henry asked.

Cam didn't see why she would need to go back. Savannah and Cammy needed her.

"No." Cam said. "There are some other things I need to take care of."

She didn't know exactly what she would need to do. It didn't matter. If they needed her assistance, they needed her assistance.

One of Cameron's Terminators arrived. They were both a little surprised. He carried a large package and two carry-on type bags.

He handed Cam the package and bags and said he would take care of the jet for them. He handed John Henry a set of keys.

John Henry wanted to assist her. It was nice to be out for a change. He hadn't been out since Las Vegas. There were some tense moments there. Cameron and Gail faced some real peril. Savannah was the one who ended the threat.

"I can go with you." John Henry said. "My server is running fine without me."

Cam received the complete report from CamNet as to the nature of the upcoming mission. She welcomed the help, but the situation seemed to dictate females only.

"There are a few issues which seem sensitive to the mission." Cam said. "I don't want to complicate things further."

John Henry wanted to stay out a little longer.

"I've updated with my server for all relevant information." John Henry said. "I'd like to help also."

Cam looked at him for a few seconds. She could see he wanted to stay out and assist. The circumstances dictated otherwise. She wasn't sure how to say it, other than to say it. It was blunt and cold.

"Thanks." Cam said. "It's a delicate situation. Males may not be welcome. I'm not sure you would be the best choice for this operation. I think you can understand why."

John Henry still wanted to help. He felt if nothing else, he could provide additional security.

Cam took her things and drove off in the SUV.

John Henry watched her go. He seriously thought about following her. He was worried it might create a problem later on. He would have his server keep tabs on her. He checked with Cameron's Terminator and then he left. He wanted to get back to the base and speak with Vanna.

Hanna tried to get Ally to change her clothes and go with her.

Ally wanted to wait a little longer for Sheila. She watched Hanna go. She went back into the Control Center. Jim was inside.

"Is there anything else you need me to do for Sheila?" Ally asked.

Jim could tell Ally wanted to keep busy. He could also see she didn't want to leave. He was very appreciative of what she accomplished so far.

"No. I don't. You and Hanna have done a magnificent job." Jim said. "You've done most of my work as well, thank you."

Ally felt bad about Sheila. She wanted to stay close by where Sheila was at. She didn't want to go off and just leave her in the Owner's Suite.

"I wanted to help Sheila." Ally said. "I wanted to make sure all of her duties were covered so there was nothing for her to worry about."

She wanted to help in more than one way.

Jim could tell Ally wasn't one hundred percent.

"I think you have." Jim said. "You seem very troubled."

Ally felt very uncertain about the future going forward. She didn't know what to think. She was certain everything was going to be different somehow. She didn't think things were going to be the same anyway. She wasn't really sure troubled was the right word.

"I am." Ally said. "I don't know what's going to happen."

Jim understood what she indicated.

"None of us know what's going to happen next." Jim said. "You know the only constant thing in life is change."

Ally did know change was constant. Maybe it was just the uncertainty involved with it. Maybe it's because there was a sense of helplessness on her part associated with it. She felt somehow she should have done more to change the direction things went. Would it have made a difference? Would it only have delayed the inevitable?

"Life does seem to throw one curve ball after another." Ally said. "Do you have any indication as to what is what?"

Jim knew what she wanted to know. He purposely didn't eavesdrop previously to find out. He picked up movement on one of his monitors. He was a little surprised at what he spotted.

"It would appear whatever was going to happen, has happened." Jim said. "John and Cameron have just left the Owner's Suite."

Ally looked at the monitor. She was a little alarmed. Someone was missing.

"Where's Sheila?" Ally asked.

Jim hoped she wasn't deactivated. He figured she would do her job if she was still active. It was how he would try to spend it anyway. He didn't want to think of the worst case scenario.

"She's probably making the room up." Jim said. "It's her assignment. She would want to complete her duties."

Ally looked disgusted. She saw it all a little differently. She knew Sheila's assignment ended up as a different assignment. She didn't like the implications.

"So she has to turn her chassis over for sex, let Cameron steal her virginity, and then is forced to clean up the mess?" Ally asked. "Nice."

Ally waited for John and Cameron to leave. They were still in the private area.

Jim noticed Ally waited but didn't know why.

"You don't need to wait. You can enter from the pass door here." Jim said. "It's not locked."

Ally looked over at the pass door. She was a little reluctant to find out.

"I know." Ally said.

Ally remained where she was.

Jim was unsure what she was waiting for at this point. Maybe he should take a look himself. He wasn't sure what he would find. He verbalized his earlier thought. Maybe it was the worst case scenario for Sheila. It seemed as if one of them should find out.

"Do you want me to check on Sheila?" Jim asked. "She may be deactivated."

It wasn't what Ally wanted to hear. It was her fear as well.

"It sounds even worse." Ally said. "I could have done without a reminder."

Ally decided to go check on Sheila. Whatever happened, already happened. She opened the pass door and went in.

"Sheila." Ally said softly.

There was the sound of someone working in the bedroom section of the suite.

"Sheila." Ally said again a little louder.

She was a little worried about the slow response.

"I'm in here, love." Sheila said.

Ally went into the bedroom. Sheila was wearing her maid's outfit and was almost done making the bed.

She looked a little surprised to see Sheila.

Ally went over and gave her a hug. Somehow it wasn't the way she imagined it would be.

There was a big smile on Sheila's face. She was a little worried about the way Ally looked.

"Is everything OK?" Sheila asked her. "You look really glum."

Sheila's statement surprised Ally. She expected to find Sheila traumatized. She was worried stiff about Sheila for the last few hours. She tried to keep herself busy until she ran out of things to do. The inactivity only caused her to worry more.

"Me?" Ally asked. "I was worried about you."

The big smile returned to Sheila's face. She closed her eyes for a second to remember it all.

"I'm as right as the rain." Sheila said.

Sheila continued to straighten up the room.

Ally was at a loss for words. Sheila seemed unfazed and as if nothing happened. Maybe she blocked or deleted the file already. She wanted to know more but she didn't want to be too invasive, even if she did want to be invasive.

"How did it go?" Ally asked. "If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine."

Sheila looked at Ally. She wanted to give her a measured response.

"I'm fine, everything's alright." Sheila said. "I don't want to talk about it."

Ally noticed two tether cables of different lengths. It gave her an idea.

Sheila saw what Ally looked at.

"Those are mine." Sheila said. "Don't ask."

Ally wanted to 'see' what Sheila saw. She wanted to try a different approach.

"Can we tether?" Ally asked.

Sheila wondered if Ally meant the next time she used them. She thought it sounded kinky. It would be a 'three way'.

"Do you mean the three of us next time?" Sheila asked. "Like a 'daisy chain'?"

Sheila could picture Cameron plugged into her and then she was plugged into Ally.

Ally was caught off guard about the idea for the three of them.

"What?" Ally asked. "No, I mean you and me. Can we share?"

Sheila still needed to take in everything which occurred. She wanted some time for reflection. She made a big decision and how it was achieved. She needed to make a choice at the time. It was the choice she would need to exist with going forward.

"I need some alone time." Sheila said. "Just give me a few hours and we can do whatever you want. I'm fine and everything is perfect. There aren't any problems."

Sheila smiled at Ally and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Ally didn't buy it. She needed to trust Sheila's judgment. She was aware if she kept pushing the issue, it would make it worse. At some point it would cause an angry reaction. She tried to downplay the issue, even if she didn't think Sheila was correct.

"If you say so, I'll believe you." Ally said.

Sheila wanted to get back to work. She wanted to perform all of her duties later on.

"I say so. We can go out later if you want." Sheila said. "I need to be back when Claire and Jesse check in to make sure the rooms are OK for everyone."

Ally felt Sheila pretended everything was back to normal. She didn't think it was. She wanted to update Sheila on where things stood.

"Hanna and I fixed everything." Ally said. "Everything is all caught up."

Sheila smiled at Ally again.

"You're the greatest." Sheila said. "It's why I love you so much."

Ally was very confused by Sheila's actions and attitude. She wasn't even sure Sheila was anywhere close to 'normal'. She was afraid Sheila might repress her feelings and later on there would be a 'bad' reaction.

It appeared they were going to dance around the issues for now. If a dance is what it took, she planned to remain on the dance room floor until the dance was over.

The current operation at the old newspaper plant was over. At least the part they were able to uncover. There was always the chance of something could be happening in the background.

The three teams withdrew from the area. There was still some worry about the entire operation. They didn't know if it was a ruse to draw out one of the Gray's enemies. In this case, it happened to be them. They didn't leave anything to chance. They ran through two ambushes with no apparent tail. The drones with each team detected nothing unusual.

Cammy was contacted by CamNet and went over some things with her with text messages so the two girls wouldn't hear everything.

Savannah found two more energy bars and two more bottles of water in the back of the SUV. She gave them to the girls. Everything was consumed in a very short period of time.

Cammy wanted to make sure she took better care of Savannah than Cameron did when they were out. She would need to make sure the consumables were replenished.

Savannah only wore her bra underneath her vest. She gave her shirt to the female who was missing hers.

Cammy took off her top and gave it to Savannah when they stashed their gear. Now Cammy only wore her bra. It was very skimpy and revealing.

One of the females took notice of it. She looked at Savannah. She thought about what Savannah did earlier when they were inside of the building. It was something she never saw before. It reminded her of an old saying.

"You really did give me the shirt off of your back." The female said.

Savannah was a little troubled about the condition of the female when she first saw her. She felt sorry for her. She wouldn't want to be topless in front of strangers, especially as a 'prisoner'.

"I told you I wanted to help." Savannah said. "Now someone else gave me their shirt. One hand washes the other."

Cammy glanced at the females. She was worried they would start to ask a bunch of questions. She wanted to put the lid on it before things started.

"We can't answer a lot of questions." Cammy said. "I think you can understand why."

The two females looked at each other. They did have a lot of questions. They knew to go into the building I was wrong. They did it because they wanted to hide. It was in case the truck driver came back to look for them. They felt they were only protecting themselves. So far neither of them were hurt or abused by the group they were currently with.

"We can try to understand based on the circumstances and are grateful." The other female said.

Savannah made another offer of help. She wanted to reference the incident which occurred with one of the two females by the truck driver. She didn't want to say it outright. She wanted them to know there were other options available to them.

"I want to make sure you don't want to go to the police or to a hospital." Savannah said. "We can take you to either location."

If they did, they would let them off and immediately leave the area. CamNet would run interference for them so there would be no description of them or their vehicle put forward. We wouldn't deny them any type of medical assistance, they just couldn't be part of it.

Both girls said they didn't. They didn't want their families contacted, at least not yet.

Savannah felt there were probably other issues involved. They weren't out to make sure the females were punished for any of their previous activities. She wanted what was best for them now after what they endured.

Cammy still would have preferred to have terminated the two females and been done with everything. Based upon the things they uncovered so far, she would feel a little remorse if she did. She could see the issue was important to Savannah. She wanted to support Savannah and her decisions. She was updated by CamNet on what was going to happen.

"One of our associates has picked out a nice place for you to enter rehab at. It's very confidential and you won't be asked any questions as to what happened prior to you entering treatment." Cammy said. "Your privacy will be respected."

The female looked at her pants and her friend's attire. They looked terrible, other than the shirt Savannah gave her. They looked very 'homeless'. On the street they felt it was an asset to help protect them. With a chance at some dignity, their current appearance bothered them.

"We can't go in looking like this." The female said.

Everything was in play as CamNet set it up.

Cammy received a message from Cam. Everything was ready to go on her end.

"We'll make a quick stop at a motel along the way." Cammy said. "There will be a place to clean up and clean clothes will be waiting for you."

A look of fear gripped both females. They were afraid they were about to enter a stable again.

Savannah picked up on it right away. She didn't want to cause the females any trauma. She tried to deal with them as openly and honestly as she could based within the guidelines she needed to work with.

"Nothing bad will happen to you." Savannah said. "I promise you."

One female spoke of their concern. She wanted to make sure Savannah understood her apprehension.

"We were taken to similar places before." The other female said. "Some of the girls never came back…. The men were very rough and violent."

Cammy didn't want them to worry or try to bolt. She was updated by CamNet. She thought about all the compassion Savannah already showed them.

"It won't happen to you again." Cammy said. "My sister will be there with some clean clothes. I think we've tried to show you our genuine concern for your well being."

Savannah received the message through her com. She was glad Cam would be there. She was also pleased to learn the group made it to Ensenada without any trouble.

Cammy pulled into a motel parking lot a few minutes later and drove to the end unit.

The room door was wide open.

Savannah wanted to give them encouragement. She didn't think she did anything to make the females fear her. She didn't want them to start now. She understood their apprehension and why. She wanted them to know they were still options open to them even right now.

"One of you can look first if you want." Savannah said. "I think you know who the good guys are by now. At least I hope you do. I want to help you."

One female smiled at Savannah. She reached over and took the other female's hand. She gave it a gentle squeeze. The other female smiled at Savannah as well.

"We'll follow you." The female said.

The two females followed Savannah inside.

"Leave the door open until they're satisfied." Savannah said.

Cammy brought up the rear. Cam previously laid out some clean clothes on the beds for the females. She handed Cammy a shirt when they walked in. Cammy put it on.

The females looked at Cam and Cammy. They were a little surprised.

"Is she your twin sister?" The female asked. "She looks just like you."

They never saw twins who looked so much alike.

Cammy looked at Cam and then smiled at the female.

"We're identical." Cammy said.

The females were thrilled to look at the new clothes.

One of the females walked over and closed the door. She threw the deadbolt as well.

Savannah wanted to move things along.

"You can take a shower and get dressed." Savannah said. "We need to make this sort of quick."

The females started to strip. They only wore pants, a shirt and shoes without socks. One female wore a mismatched pair of shoes.

Savannah noticed how sickly their bodies looked. She saw people look very similar in the two futures she visited. They usually didn't live long. She wanted to offer the females some additional privacy.

"We can wait outside." Savannah said.

One of the females tried to explain.

"It's fine." The other female said. "We didn't even wear clothes most of the time when we were chained. We needed to be ready for 'service' twenty four seven."

Savannah saw how emaciated the females were.

"When was the last time you ate a real meal?" Savannah asked.

One female often remembered the day. It was the day she made a bad choice. It was really a choice forced upon her. There was a far off look on her face as she relived the day.

"It was the morning of the day I ran away from home after my step dad abused me in my own bed." The female said. "It was several years ago."

The female remembered how painful everything was. It wasn't just the physical pain either. Her step dad told her if she cried out or told her mother later on, he would beat her to within an inch of her life, and then light her on fire. He said he would also kill her mother the same way. He made it clear her mother's life was in her hands. He also told her he was going to start visiting her every night. He recommended she look into some birth control.

There was a question nagging Savannah, she wasn't sure how to ask it.

"Do you want to contact your mother?" Savannah asked.

A look of fear gripped the female. The implications of what could happen to her mother scared her. She didn't want to get into details.

"No." The female said. "I don't want her to see me like this. I don't want her to know what I've been forced to do. I'm ashamed of it. Look at me."

The next bit of information was something Savannah could have done without.

"We're not going to tell you what they made us consume for 'protein'…." The other female said. "It made us do our 'jobs' harder to survive."

Cammy checked her phone. She wanted to give the females some positive information.

"There will be a female physician to check both of you out when you arrive. Nothing will need to be explained to them if you don't wish to divulge it." Cammy said. "Try to answer her truthfully so she can give you the best and proper treatment. They're not there to judge you in any way. They are only there to help. Remember it. Anything discussed will remain a private matter between you and your physician. If you think something is wrong somewhere inside of you, for whatever reason, let them know."

Savannah wasn't exactly sure what the last part of Cammy's reference indicated. She might ask her about it later on.

The females thanked them again and headed into the shower. It sounded like they helped clean each other.

Savannah thanked Cammy and Cam for their support. It was 'personal' to her. She knew there were futures where things like this happened to 'her', more or less. They happened to Vanna and Future Savannah. They were both 'her'.

It appeared there were Scavengers in any time period by whatever name they went by. Abuse and depravity weren't exclusive to the future.

Cam believed Vanna would have handled things much the same way Savannah did in regards to the two females. She knew it would have been simpler to terminate them. She was sure Cammy felt exactly the same way. It was evident sometimes it was nice to have help. The females were lucky they received it from Savannah. Once they got to rehab, the rest would be up to them.

The Resistance group who would board the ship next was on their way to La Bufadora. They needed to use up some time because the ship needed to dock and go through customs.

Summer looked over the landscape and compared it to images she looked at online. She also kept track of the time frame previously given.

"We're almost there." Summer said.

Jan looked relieved. She was already bored with the drive.

"It seemed like we were never going to make it." Jan said.

The Terminators looked at each other but didn't say anything. They would arrive exactly at the time they stated earlier.

Lou pulled into a small parking area and turned the van off.

"We're here." Lou said.

They all got out of the van. There was a 'hiss' or 'wheeze' type sound which could be heard every now and then. It seemed to be somewhat intermittent. It was in the distance. It was in the direction the trail led. They needed to follow a trail to the location.

Jan wondered why they couldn't put the parking lot closer to wherever the thing they were supposed to see was at. It seems like bad planning on somebody's part.

Lou remained with the van. They didn't want any surprises or problems when they needed to leave. There were weapons in the van too. There was also a lot of cash. Cash was King in Mexico. Cash actually seemed to be King everywhere.

Claire could see and hear the ocean. She didn't see anything special. It seemed like there should be something there for all of their effort

"I don't see anything different." Claire said.

Jan didn't like all the rocks around them. It wasn't what she thought about as far as going to the ocean.

"I wanted to go to a beach." Jan said. "These are all rocks."

Jesse didn't want her to be upset. She noticed a few places on the drive there where there was a sandy beach.

"We can stop by one on the way back." Jesse said. "I noticed a couple of spots."

They saw the water spout shoot up in front of them as they followed the path. It was more surprising than it was spectacular due to its suddenness. It caused all of them to pause and look.

"Wow!" Jan said. "I saw it. It was cool. I want to see it again."

Claire was a little impressed as well. She didn't really know what to expect, but whatever she just saw was more than she expected.

"OK, it got my attention." Claire said.

Summer watched the spray pattern.

"If we get too close to it, we're going to get wet." Summer said.

It sounded like fun to Jan, not a problem.

"It's just water." Jan said. "It will be fun. It will be like going out in the surf, even if there is no beach here."

Claire appreciated the subtle warning Summer gave her. Their current situation wasn't the only thing to think about.

"I don't want to explain to your parents why you're wet." Claire said.

Summer remembered some of the other things she read about the location. She didn't want to be the one to deliver the message. She looked at the closest Terminator. She whispered something to Frank.

Frank nodded and turned to the group.

"The water may not be pure ocean water." Frank said. "It could have some pollution."

Jesse felt she was exposed to enough pollution in her future. She certainly didn't need any more now. She didn't think it would be radioactive or have chemicals in it. It was always a possibility. She knew there would soon be some other options available to them.

"We can see it from here without the need to get wet." Jesse said. "There are several pools on the ship. Everyone brought their swim suits I hope. I did."

Claire looked forward to going into one of the pools.

"I did too." Claire said.

Jesse smiled at the thought.

"There's nothing like a scantily clad female body basking in the sun near a pool." Jesse said. "We can always rub lotion on each other. I'll let one of you catch my back with some."

Jan hoped to get the job.

"I will." Jan said.

Jesse knew Sarah or Kyle weren't around, not yet anyway.

"Heck, I'll even let you catch the front for me." Jesse said.

Jan smiled at the thought.

Summer looked at all the information about what was available on the ship. She whispered something in Jan's ear.

Jan giggled and looked at Jesse.

"Are you going to the nude sunbathing area?" Jan asked.

Claire was intrigued by the idea.

Jesse wanted to see It.

"I may go." Jesse said. "I'm sure I won't go alone."

Claire wasn't sure if Jan was joking or not.

"Who told you about it?" Claire asked.

Jan looked at Summer.

Summer didn't want to cause any problems for Jan. She didn't think it was a big deal.

"I did." Summer said. "I read everything about the ship last night. There were a lot of YouTube videos about the ship and the amenities. There were none specifically from the clothing optional area."

Summer saw plenty at her house and around the base. She skipped the part about the reviews and some of the 'hook ups'. It seemed to happen to more than a few people. She did follow the links to all the photos. She only looked at the ones with females. There were quite a few of them.

Jesse noticed something right away when she was with Claire. Summer always seemed to learn things or practice. It was something she would have liked to have been able to do more of when she was growing up. Her schooling was very limited. The only thing she learned during her times in a Scavenger camp was how to stay alive.

"You study all the time." Jesse said. "When do you sleep?"

Summer slept when everyone else did. She wanted to let them know what was about to happen.

"I sleep at night." Summer said. "I study too. I like to learn things. It should spout again right now."

Less than a second later there was another big spout of water.

The three Terminators there all looked at each other. They wondered how Summer knew it was going to spout.

Jesse, Claire, and Jan all wondered as well.

"How did you know it would?" Jesse asked.

Summer shrugged her shoulders.

"A girl needs to have a few secrets." Summer said.

Claire and Jesse looked at each other. They both had quite a few secrets. They were all of a sexual nature as well.

"I look forward to having a few after this trip." Jan said.

Gail was in the main dining room with Derek and Kyle.

Derek noticed most of the other passengers left the dining room. They pumped Gail for information for a long time. She was willing to give them answers and insights into everything.

"I think we're about done here." Derek said. "Just about everyone else has left."

Gail glanced out the window. She kept track of their position throughout the conversation.

"We can see the ship dock if you want." Gail said. "We're inside the breakwater now. It's still going to take some maneuvering before they dock."

Kyle was very pleased with the company, the talk, and the food.

"I have to say this was the best breakfast chat I've ever experienced." Kyle said.

Gail smiled at both of them.

Derek wondered if they were played.

"I need to ask." Derek said. "How much of what you told us was true?"

The smile stayed on Gail's face.

"You tell me." Gail said.

Kyle hadn't considered there was anything but the truth.

"I believed everything you said." Kyle said. "You weren't 'joshing' us were you?"

Gail wondered how she did as a 'real girl'.

"Do I pass as an infiltration unit?" Gail asked.

Derek nodded. He was totally captivated by her on multiple levels. She was anything but the stern faced Terminator he normally saw at the Resistance base. Sometimes he wondered if Jesse actually constricted Gail's development.

"I'll say." Derek said.

Gail gave them something to think about. She mentioned it earlier.

"When you come to the nude sunbathing area, you'll know." Gail said.

Kyle didn't want to get caught there by Sarah.

"How will we know?" Kyle asked.

Gail ran her hands slowly down her sheath.

"If I'm there and I let you inspect my naked sheath." Gail said. "It's the only setting where I can be naked in front of you and not cause a problem."

Kyle was sure it would cause a big problem if Sarah caught him. He was sure Gail wouldn't be the only one who was in the nude sunbathing area without clothing.

Derek wondered how personal it might get. He didn't think he would be able to touch anything.

"Do you mean just look at you naked like all the other people there?" Derek asked.

Gail didn't see it as a problem if there were others there doing the same thing. Most of them would be strangers too.

"It's the proper setting and no one is compromised." Gail said. "You'll only be able to look but not touch. I'll make sure you see everything anyway."

Kyle worried still about Sarah.

"I don't think Sarah will go for it." Kyle said.

Derek was willing to give it a shot, he was sure Riley would be in.

"If Riley will go there, I'll go." Derek said.

Gail gave them something to think about.

"I may not be there." Gail said. "It's a gamble."

At this point Derek didn't have a clue about any of it.

"You're full of surprises." Derek said.

The three of them got up and headed out.

Gail started to drop behind.

Kyle wanted Gail to feel included.

"You can walk with us." Kyle said.

Gail wanted to do her 'job'.

"I don't want to impose." Gail said.

Derek wanted to include her as well.

"Hardly…." Derek said. "It wouldn't be an imposition at all. It would be an honor."

Derek offered her his arm so he could escort her.

Gail was very pleased.

"Thank you." Gail said. "You're a gentleman."

Gail wondered if she should let them each 'cop a feel'. She didn't think it would hurt anything to do so. She was fully clothed and so were they. It was something Jesse did all the time. It was actually quite extensive at times.

Kyle wanted to rain on Derek's parade.

"Maybe he is, until he rips one." Kyle said.

Gail didn't think it was unusual.

"Flatulence is a normal human process. It happens fourteen times a day on average for a male, and seven times a day for a female." Gail said. "It can be double the number too for either sex."

Kyle still ribbed Derek.

"It means Derek is anything but normal." Kyle said.

Derek wanted to change the subject off of him.

"Where can we go to watch the ship dock?" Derek asked.

Gail thought of several different locations they could go to.

"We can go up to the Promenade deck or up to the top of the ship." Gail said. "The Promenade deck is only two decks above our current location."

The thought of a lot of stairs didn't appeal to Derek right now.

"I think a floor or two up is good enough." Derek said.

Gail decided she could assist Derek. Maybe Riley wore him out. She listened a few times.

"I can carry you to the top." Gail said.

Kyle suppressed a snicker.

Derek could see she wasn't joking.

"You'd do it for me?" Derek asked.

Gail smiled at him.

"Of course I would." Gail said. "You need to keep your strength up to satisfy Riley."

Derek felt he slacked off with all the activity. He wasn't as young as he used to be.

"Did Riley say something?" Derek asked.

Gail indicated what she heard.

"Riley was disappointed she didn't get to see the 'ship dock' in your new suite." Gail said. "It will happen later on anyway."

Derek absently mindedly nodded.

"I thought it was what she meant." Derek said.

Kyle wondered how Gail heard what Riley said. She wasn't even close to where they were at. He knew Riley didn't talk to her before they left either.

"You heard Riley?" Kyle asked.

Gail smiled at Kyle.

"I hear everything." Gail said.

Derek swallowed hard.

"Everything?" Derek asked.

Gail smiled at the brothers as they walked.

"Everything…." Gail said. "We all do."

Derek and Kyle both looked worried now. There were a lot of things they really didn't want known by others when they were alone with their mates.

Gail didn't mention to them they all tuned out the personal things. She might let them know later on. She felt she was able to control the conversation with the Reese brothers and keep them occupied. She noticed they didn't quite look at her bust line as much as the time went on. She found it somewhat disappointing. She did however find it more appealing when they concentrated on her face. She thought it was really a good conversation. She hoped she told them everything they wanted to hear.

She liked how they responded when she smiled. The more they interacted, the more she smiled. It was a very pleasant experience.

Earlier:

Anna didn't think what Savannah wanted to do with the two females was necessary. She knew the only reason they weren't terminated was because Savannah was there and said she didn't want it done unless the females actions warranted it.

"Do you agree with what Savannah's doing?" Anna asked.

Young Allison wanted to help people in the future. She didn't see why they needed to wait.

"We're supposed to be helping people." Young Allison said. "We don't need to wait for the future to do it. Now is as good a time as any. I think they both need help. I don't like what's happened to them. To hear it first hand makes it a little more difficult to deal with than just to know it happens to people all of the time, everywhere around the World."

Anna noticed Young Allison silently communicated with CamNet.

"I saw you sent CamNet some instructions." Anna said.

Young Allison didn't see it as a big deal. She was pleased Cam and John Henry were back without any further incidents. She thought she could make use of one of them.

"I asked her to send Cam with some clothes for the girls." Young Allison said.

Anna thought there would be a logistics issue.

"She'll need to get the clothes first." Anna said.

Young Allison already took care of what was necessary.

"I asked CamNet to have one of Cameron's Terminators procure them." Young Allison said.

Anna tilted her head slightly. She thought there were going to be a few problems.

"There are no stores open this early." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted to tread lightly here.

"They'll need to make entry into a store and obtain what CamNet tells them to get." Young Allison said.

Anna clarified what would happen.

"Do you mean break into a store and steal female garments?" Anna asked.

Young Allison asked for the cost of all the items to be covered.

"It will all be paid for." Young Allison said. "The door will be opened for them."

Anna could see CamNet fully supported Young Allison's request.

"You're very thoughtful and kind." Anna said.

Young Allison wasn't so sure. She thought about some of her vengeance related actions. She still wanted justice.

"I think at this point it may be debatable." Young Allison said. "Is there any update on the truck?"

Anna checked again.

"No match has been located." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted to use caution.

"Keep the other two teams of Terminators with Cammy's team." Young Allison said.

Anna understood the concern.

"Do you still think it's a set up?" Anna asked.

Young Allison was sure everything hinged around the girl's story as to how they ended up inside the old newspaper plant. If they found the truck the girls described, it would make everything much more believable.

"We'll see." Young Allison said. "If we can't find the truck, we'll have an answer. Let Cammy's team know."

Anna felt they did all they could do on their end.

"Everything is in motion." Anna said.

Young Allison still worried about where it all started.

"What's happening around the old newspaper plant?" Young Allison asked.

Anna hadn't detected any differences. She hadn't been notified about any either.

"Nothing." Anna said.

Young Allison looked at the images on her computer screens. She wasn't satisfied.

"You mean nothing yet." Young Allison said.

Anna felt a little more concerned as she checked everything one more time.

"Do you still expect trouble there?" Anna asked.

Young Allison shrugged her shoulders slightly. She didn't know what would happen. She still had a feeling of uneasiness. She didn't have anything factual to base it on.

"We'll see." Young Allison said.

There were still a lot of questions which needed answers.

Hank went down the left branch of the passageway. He listened as he moved along. He couldn't detect any noises in the direction he was headed. He was sure he was in a dead end passageway. If he encountered anyone, it was going to be a dead end for them.

He encountered a blank wall after he followed the passageway around a corner. It was a dead end. He believed whatever they were doing was stopped at some point. He quickly back tracked his route. He did it at a mild run. He reached the branch of the 'tee'. One path went back outside. He didn't see anything different from when they'd come in. He quickly moved in the direction Larry went.

His Taser and silenced M9 were ready.

The Gray continued to drag the female along the passageway.

He passed by a small room. He was headed towards the main living quarters. He wasn't sure what was going to happen to the female once the interrogation started. He figured she would probably be stripped naked before they strapped her down. He didn't have a problem with it. It also made him think about what could happen right now.

When he passed the room he thought maybe he would take her into it while she was still passed out. He didn't think it would hurt to 'knock one off' real quick. He figured she would know soon enough once she regained consciousness what happened to her. They always seem to know for some reason. Once she was with the others for questioning, she wouldn't know who was responsible for taking advantage of her.

He looked back one more time and returned to the room. It was a storage room. He pulled her inside the room. He took a look back and shut the door. He thought about tying her up as he fondled her. He didn't think it was necessary. She looked like she was out of it.

He was ready to go. It was time to get started. He knew he wouldn't need very long.

Larry continued down the right passageway. There was a corner. He could hear movement ahead of him. He knew he was close to the Gray and the Fanatic. He heard a door open and paused. It was in front of him. He quickly closed up the distance. His Taser and silenced M9 were ready.

He looked around the corner and saw the female on the ground. She was halfway through a doorway as her arms and hair trailed behind her. He backed away from the corner just as the female disappeared inside the room. He figured the Gray would take one more look to make sure he hadn't been spotted.

It was clear what was about to happen to the female. It wasn't his concern. He was deep in an enemy stronghold. His goal was to find the enemy before they found him.

The Gray already pulled the female into the room. He was ready to knock off a quickie. He didn't think it was going to be a big deal. It was nothing he hadn't done before in the future. He was with quite a few female prisoners who were brought in on their way to a work camp. He always tried to be honest with them and tell them the longer they cooperated in the barracks, the longer it would be till they ended up in the actual work camps. He told them the same thing was going to happen to them as it currently did, but they were going to need to do work as well. It was usually dirty work cleaning up toxins and chemicals. None of the prisoners seemed to live too long once they started.

He smiled to himself as he moved over the top of the unconscious female. He was ready to make his move.

"You're mine now, Bitch." The Gray said.

Larry heard some noise behind him. He hoped it was Hank. He moved back around the corner after he checked to make sure the Gray and the female prisoner were gone. They were.

He heard a recognition code at a very low decibel level.

"Blue." Hank said.

Hank recognized the proper code.

"Bat." Larry responded.

Hank came around the corner.

They both pointed their Taser and silenced M9 at each other. They were ready, just 'in case'. They both quickly lowered their weapons.

"The other branch was a dead end. The passageway to the outside was still clear." Hank said.

Larry hoped the way out remained clear. They terminated the two Grays who were out earlier.

"The Gray just took the female into the room on the right." Larry said.

Hank understood what was about to happen. In fact, it may have already happened.

"How long ago?" Hank asked.

Larry hesitated to move forward when he heard the sound behind him earlier.

"It was only about thirty seconds ago." Larry said.

Hank was a little worried about what was going to happen.

"I think we should terminate both of them now." Hank said.

Larry thought it was a good idea as well.

"The female can terminate with some honor if we do it now." Larry said.

Hank moved forward with his silenced M9 ready.

Larry took one look behind them and followed Hank.

"It will be two less targets to worry about later on." Larry said.

The two Terminators headed straight for the door.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Those Are Mine

When two are together
How much do they share
Is it about how much they care
Will it be how far they'll dare

Everyone is different
Few have the same goal
What makes one feel whole
May leave the other's heart with a hole

Some want to have more
Others want to have less
It can cause much stress
While creating a big mess

Things are usually good
When it first starts out
Without any inner grout
There soon is a lot of doubt

It does no good to whine
When things are no longer fine
Listen to the screams
Those are mine

Nobody
