I felt very grateful to Sally, who seemed willing to gibber at me endlessly to keep my mind off things. I started to finally relax by midafternoon, they’d been given some plain scrubs to wear, and had already gone through the scans and blood draw. They were meeting with psychiatrists and nothing untoward was going on as far as I could tell.
I’d been doubting I could get to sleep that night, but when Aisa and Aida were brought to their own rooms, and things seemed to settle for the evening when they told me good night and went to sleep. My nervous energy completely crashed at that point. I think Sally was telling me about their pets, both dogs and cats, when I crashed right there on the living room couch and fell asleep on her.
Chapter 20
“Wake up!”
I mumbled, “Sally? What’s going on?”
My overlay showed it was three fourteen in the morning.
A screen popped up in my overlay all by itself, and I could see two orderlies looming over me on the screen.
Sally said, “That’s what Aisa is seeing, they just woke her up and are demanding she go with them.”
“How did you?”
Sally blew out a breath, “Well, I kinda… might have,” she said really fast, “hacked-your-implant-just-now. It’s fine, really.”
I snorted, “Alright, no sweat Sal, I trust you, what’s going on then?”
Aisa replied in a relatively calm voice, “I don’t know yet, we’ll find out.”
I saw out of Aisa’s eyes as she stood up and then walked between the goons.
I demanded, “Why are you so calm, I’m about to have a heart attack here.”
Aida replied, “Take it easy, we’ve been on their network all day. We… took precautions.”
I nodded, I wished they’d have told me that sooner, “What do you want me to do? Or did you just wake me for my company? Not that I mind, I’m glad you did.”
Aisa replied, “Well I knew you’d be mad if we didn’t, but could you pack bags for the four of us. Just in case we need to… disappear?”
I jumped up and ran to the bedroom, and started to stuff clothes and necessities in a large duffel bag while I watched her get on an elevator.
“What about tracking?”
Sally giggled, “I could make you’re A.I. report you’re in the North Pole if I wanted to right now, and none of us can be tracked that way.”
Well fuck, if I’d have known that earlier we could have made plans. Still, I wasn’t the one being marched by two orderlies for some unknown reason, so I kept the annoyance out of my voice.
“Alright, would have been good to know before now.”
Aida sounded a little apologetic, “It’s not something we were really willing to do, it violates a number of laws and we couldn’t justify it until now. Even now unless it’s for self-defense, this is just a precaution. We don’t really want to go on the run you know, it could blow our chances to be recognized.”
I sighed, “Your right of course, but on the other hand if we have to run, and show evidence why we had to run, it could help in the long run. I’ve got a large bag full of our clothes and stuff, I’m going to get some of Cal’s now as well.”
They took Aisa into one of the medical rooms, the doctor they’d met earlier was in scrubs.
Aisa apparently decided to pass sound as well.
“What is this?”
The doctor smiled, “Nothing to worry about. We just got some strange readings on some cerebral fluid, we need to take a small biopsy, a few cells.”
Aisa replied, “No. The cerebral fluid is what keeps me from rejecting the biological connections to my processors. That’s all you need to know, the information is proprietary and not in the scope of what you’re authorized to do by the court.”
I suppressed a growl in frustration at her next words.
“Also, your attempts to infiltrate and hack us won’t succeed. You haven’t even come close to getting past my outer hardware and through the firewall, and even if you did… it wouldn’t work.”
He frowned, “Why not?”
She snickered, “Same reason a virus built for one operating system won’t work on another. Except no one has our base code except us, it’s literally impossible to hack us without that data, unless I was dumb enough to translate the code and run it manually. I’m warning you, return me to my room, I won’t allow you to stick a needle into my brain.”
Huh, another thing I hadn’t known, it was obvious in hindsight though.
The doctor frowned, “I don’t think so young lady. Men, put her on the table and strap her down, knock her out if you have to.”
Aida said, “Cal and I our out of our rooms, and we have found masks.”
Aisa replied, “Good,” and sat down on the floor.
The doctor’s eyebrows furrowed, “What are you doing?”
Aisa shrugged nonchalantly, “I don’t want to fall down and hurt myself when the gas overcomes us.”
The doctor had just enough time to widen his eyes, as all four of them passed out.
“Is she alright?”
Sally replied as she cut off the video of what had to be Aisa’s eye lids, “She’ll be fine, it’s perfectly safe, just a knock out gas. Cal and Aida are on the way to pick her up with a mask and something to wake her up with, everyone else in the building should be napping. I’ll let you know when to head downstairs, I assume you want to go along.”
I grunted, “Of course,” like I’d let them go alone?
I went through the bags again, I didn’t forget anything, I even had all the stunners in the side pocket. A part of me was amazed by the idea I was about to be on the run from the government, but I’d meant every word. I’d follow Aida and Aisa anywhere, no matter where we wound up in the end it would be together, and I knew the same was true for them about me.
“So… care to share our destination yet? Or is there one?”
Sally sighed, “Sorry, right, should have told you by now. A large cabin in the Oregon mountains which is owned through so many foreign shell companies the government won’t find a connection. We’ll all be meeting you there since the government knows where to find the rest of us. Father is concerned that if Aida, Aisa, and Cal disappear they’ll come after us next.”
I felt bad all the sudden, it wasn’t my fault but this all got started because of my stupid soon to be ex-wife. I knew it would have all come down sooner or later anyway when James Ellings passed, but that didn’t help all that much at the moment.
“Sorry you got dragged in.”
She giggled, “Isn’t that our line? This isn’t your fault.”
Aida spoke up, “Sal is right, if anything we screwed your life up, but I can’t say I’m sorry about that love.”
I smiled at how soft and loving her voice had been.
“Alright, well you know I feel the same, so how much longer until we make our escape.”
Cal grunted, “I’m carrying Aisa now, were about to get in the air car. We should be there in ten, I just need to disable the GPS on this thing.”
I nodded even though no one could see it, “Alright, I’ll head down in a few then.”
I went into the kitchen and grabbed some bottles of water and snacks. Oregon was two thousand miles away or so, it would take at least three hours to get there by air car. I was about halfway down the stairs when I heard Aisa’s voice, and a sharp feeling of relief cut through me.
“We’re here Tony.”
I replied, “Good, will you package up the video of tonight, and send it to Gerald, let him decide if we should release it or try and use it for leverage.”
Sally snorted, “You want to blackmail them?”
I replied as I walked out the door, “Not necessarily, but they may back off instead of being embarrassed, or they might just disavow the doctor and say he was acting on his own. Possibly a mixture of the two.”
Aida opened the door to let me in, and spoke out loud, “Not a chance, we were in the network, we have the orders that were cut from some
NSA bigshot. He wanted to know how to build another like us, apparently they’ve tried in the past and couldn’t get past the rejection problem, or the technical cascade failure issues when a computer is faced with billions of nerve endings all sending data at once.
“Of course, their project included upgraded biologics, not just normal human bodies like we have. Think enhanced soldier, plus our abilities to manipulate tech, something we are still loathe to do, but I refuse to be a victim.”
I shook my head, it was like I was living in a novel, “So blackmailing might work then, either way, let our lawyer decide. As far as the other, you haven’t done anything but defend yourself.”
I pulled the door closed and kissed Aida breathless, and then Aisa as I gathered her against me. I sat down in the back and Aisa cuddled into me like she’d no intention of ever moving again. Aida winked at me from the front passenger seat, I could tell she wanted to be held too, but she had to stay upfront with Cal who was flying. We took off straight up leaving my stomach behind, and then moved west really fast pushing me back into the seat. I really didn’t mind the part where Aisa was squished against me.
“What about radar?”
Cal replied, “It’s a government air car, it has some stealth systems. Without the GPS betraying our position as long as I don’t run into something, they’ll never find us.”
“Run into something?” I asked nervously.
Cal laughed at my tone of voice, but didn’t answer. Even Aida’s eyes were full of mirth as she looked back at me, and Aisa… well she was giggling into my chest. I could also hear Sally, Cheryl and Steve laughing in my head. I did the manly thing and sucked it up, if they needed a target for comic relief to let out some steam, I was willing to oblige.
I decided for now to leave the connection up, I could see now where it could get addicting. No wonder Aisa and Aida only dropped off when we had sex, it was like… never being alone. Perhaps that would grow to be too much, everyone needed privacy once in a while, but for the trip it was comforting. Of course, once we got there we’d all be in the same place, so I’d probably drop it then… maybe. I was actually learning quite a bit about Aisa and Aida’s family by listening…
Chapter 21
We didn’t really talk much during the trip, at least, not out loud. Aisa hardly moved, just adjusted her position a few times. We did make a stop on the way though, to stretch our legs and grab a bite to eat before getting back on the road. Aisa had sounded so… confident and in control when she was taken into that room, but it was obvious it had affected her more than was apparent, because she was acting very clingy and wouldn’t stop touching me longer than it took for a quick bathroom break, which was something I could definitely get behind. The touching part I mean.
Aisa kissed my neck softly when we got back in the air car, “I love you Tony. Thank you for being here… I was afraid once you found out all we could do it would freak you out. You’re actually enjoying the connection aren’t you, even if it’s not a full one like we have.”
I kissed the top of her head, “Are you crazy? I think its sexy you can do those things, and it makes me feel better about our chances too.”
She tilted her head, “It doesn’t bother you we can hack your A.I.?”
I shook my head, “I trust you. Heck, it doesn’t even bother me Sally’s the one who did it, and I haven’t even met her yet. It’s different yes, but it’s no different than trusting that I won’t grab a stunner and knock you out, or sell you out. The means may be new and strange, but trust is trust. I love you, and I trust you, doing what you can do doesn’t change that.”
I felt like I’d just went around the subject like three times, so I shut up to stop beating the dead horse and just stared down into those bright lovely green eyes that I loved so much.
She kissed me softly, and for a moment I wished we were somewhere a little more private. She broke the kiss and laid her head against my chest, and for the rest of the ride we fell in and out of sleep until Aida woke us up.
“Take a look out the window.”
I looked out and frowned, “You call that monstrosity a cabin?”
The thing was three stories tall, it looked like a log cabin only in that the walls were made of logs. It looked like a mansion. I supposed that was a good thing, since there would be ten of us, plus animals, although I couldn’t remember how many Sally told me they had.
Aida chuckled, “Yup. Father is a little paranoid about our safety, so he had this built about ten years ago, just in case we ever had to hide.”
The air car landed on the side of the mountain, and then pulled over into a copse of trees, and the car had plenty of cover from satellite imagery. We got out and headed into the cabin as she called it, and I was met by a number of strange faces. They all hugged, and I was somehow pulled into that.
They were all above average in looks, but not tens, so that trend continued. They looked like any other normal attractive person.
Bill and Dan were tall and rather built like linebackers, the complete opposite of what I’d assumed from their shy tenor voices. Bill had brown hair and eyes, Dan had brown hair and hazel eyes. Sally actually looked like she sounded, she had long bright red hair, large doe eyes, and a pixie face with a warm welcoming smile as she pulled me into a hug.
She was the shortest in the group, at five foot one, and had an athletic body with long graceful curves. She kissed my cheek before letting go. I did see her check me out, but I didn’t see anything in her eyes indicating anything more than friendship and thanks for being here for her sisters.
And thank god for that, I’d never be able to keep up with three of them. Besides, the six-year difference between Aida and I was about my limit, Sally was cute as hell but just nineteen. The nine-year difference wouldn’t be so important later, but right now it was huge.
Cheryl was a golden blonde with striking storm gray eyes, she gave me a shy smile and a tentative one armed hug while holding her voluptuous body away from me. That worked just fine for me, she was eleven years younger and underage. Steve was just short of six foot, and had short black hair, and green eyes. He gave me the one of those one armed back thumping man hugs.
Beyond them, sitting in a powered chair, was who I assumed to be James Ellings. I was relieved to see the welcoming smile on his face, apparently he wasn’t going to count his daughter’s earlier danger against me.
He was old, ninety-eight, and he was very thin and underweight. But his eyes were sharp, and I questioned Cal’s assertion that he was forgetful nowadays. Maybe it was just the excitement of the night, but the man’s eyes shone with piercing intelligence and wisdom.
“Welcome to my home Mr. Sanders.”
I nodded, “Thank you sir, please call me Tony.”
The old man smiled, “Call me James, sir makes me sound old or something.”
I wasn’t sure what to say to that, until he started laughing and I joined him. I added self-deprecating to what I knew about him.
James said, “Your A.I. should have full access to the house systems now, hopefully we’ll remain hidden, our satellite uplink can’t be traced, but we have some teethe if anyone comes.”
I took a moment to query the house A.I., it had a number of stunners as my home did, but it also had other defenses, like gas and the house robots could shoot darts that would shock someone’s system with electricity as well as being mobile stunner platforms. There was also an underground tunnel that led to the other side of the mountain, to a hidden air car garage. I no longer thought my small plans and protections had been remotely paranoid in nature, James had me beat hands down.
“Thank you.”
“Aisa will show you to your rooms, and we should have breakfast coming soon. You should have about an hour to get cleaned up and settled.”
I didn’t want to say thank you for a third time, so I just nodded. Aisa took my hand and tugged me toward the stairs and I followed. Aida stayed behind, and the reason for that became obvious once we got up in ou
r room, I wasn’t the only one that had wanted a more… ardent demonstration of how happy we were both safe and together back in the air car.
When we got inside our room, which had a huge king sized bed in it, she kissed me breathless.
“Don’t forget to turn off that link.”
I blushed, wondering if they’d heard my moan of pleasure from a moment ago as I hung up the party line. She giggled at my expression and jumped into my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist as she claimed my lips hungrily. She kissed me quite thoroughly before dropping down and stripping. She was so beautiful, more so to me every day. I followed suit, unable to take my eyes off of her sexy nubile body as it was slowly revealed, while she drank me in with her sparkling green eyes.
She smiled naughtily at me and swayed sexily over to the bed, and then bent over it, spreading her legs and sticking up her ass in invitation with her arms stretched out above her head.
“Tony,” she whispered in a needy and breathy voice, “Come take me.”
I walked over and lightly brushed along her silken labia with the tip of my manhood as I teasingly traced my fingers along the curves of her waist, over her hips, and onto her ass. She was trembling at my touch, practically begging me with her whole body. I slid a hand down to check her, and she was absolutely soaked, and her labia was puffy and opening for me.
I continued to tease her with my fingertips, while sliding my length up and down her labia. I waited until I sensed she was about to beg me for it, and then slammed into her in one hard violent stroke. She gripped me tightly in her blissfully warm moist sex and arched her back as a gasp escaped her lips.
I teased her then, pulling it out slowly one inch at a time, until only my tip was buried, then I slid back in painfully slow, doing my best to angle myself right to rub her g-spot with my entire length. I was breathing hard and my heartbeat took off as I did it again and again, teasing her slowly to her first orgasm. Then when she was right on the edge, I pulled her head back by her long beautiful raven hair and slapped her ass.
