As Janet and Bruce lay in bed after consummating their marriage, Bruce declared "We are going to Barracuda Beach in the morning. I need to hunt down that medallion. Much as being a nubile young female has been a thrilling experience, I need to be a man again"
Janet who had no desire to become female again declared in his deep voice "Let the police chase the thief down. We should stay here as those twins will likely turn up here looking for clothes to change with. I need to change all the locks, that will take me all day"
"We know where they are staying at. They would have hired that thief to steal the medallion for them. I'm going to go to the Milton resort and get it back. If you don't want to come that's up to you, but Barracuda beach is where I am headed first thing in the morning"
.....
Bella and Bambi were waiting exactly where Skeesy had said they would be. Like Sam and Jordan they were wearing long coats which covered whatever they were wearing. "Did you get your outfits?" Bella asked the twins. "Do they fit?"
"Marcia dropped them off" Jordan replied. "They fit. They are rather suggestive"
"All the better for tips" replied Bambi. "I don't know the rates where you come from, but around here it's a minimum of $20 for a lap dance. $50 for a feel and minimum $150 if you wish to use one of the bedrooms. I don't want you undercutting us"
"Aren't we just meant to do waitressing?" asked Sam, or 'Samantha' as the other girls knew her. She was fidgeting from nervousness.
"Yeah, Serve the guys drinks and nibbles as they request" replied Bambi. "The fellow organising the party is called Andrew. He will show you where the food and drinks are. It's totally up to you what extra services you provide but I understood you two were working for tips. Is the other new girl not coming?"
"Marcia?" Jordan asked
"Yeah, that's her name. She claims to be Skeesy's cousin" Bella replied. "Thinks she's above the rest of us but I reckon she is just a working girl desperate for a job. I was expecting her to be here as well"
"Where is Skeesy?" asked Bambi. "He's not returning any of my phone calls"
"Who knows" replied Bella. "Don't need him tonight" she produced a zip lock bag with pills in it. Opened it up, gave a pill to Bambi and popped one in her own mouth. She then offered a pill each to the twins she knew as 'Emma' and 'Samantha'. "Want one? It a special blend made locally. It will help you relax"
Jordan, who was trying to pretend she was an old hand at whoring, nonchalantly put her pill into her mouth and swallowed. Sam didn't know what else to do and followed suit. She certainly needed to relax.
"Let get started then" said Bella. The other three girls followed her across the road where she knocked on a door of what looked to be an office building. The door opened and the girls went inside.
......
Not far away Skeesy heard knocking on her front door. When she heard "Police! Let us in" she went to the door and leaving the chain on opened it a crack. There were two officers in uniform.
"Can I help you officers?" Skeesy asked as innocently as possible.
"We are looking for the owner of a blue Ford that is registered to this address. A certain Jacob Skeese"
"He's not here. I'm his cousin staying here for a few days. Can I give him a message?"
"We saw the car parked outside. May we come in and check" The police officer said this in a voice that demanded admittance
Skeesy knew they would not find anyone else in the house. They would no doubt be following up on the alleged burglary yesterday. She decided to play innocent. "Certainly officer. I hope you do not mind the mess. I wasn't expecting visitors"
The officers came in and confirmed that no one else was present in the unit. Fortunately, Skeesy had the medallion in her dressing gown pocket. One of the officers found her car keys on the kitchen bench. "Are these the keys to the car outside?"
"I believe so" replied Skeesy innocently. "Jacob has flown to New York for a couple of days and asked me to mind his place"
"Do you mind if we have a look in the vehicle? The car was reported to have been seen at the site of a burglary"
"By all means. I hope you don't mind me staying inside" She gestured at the dressing gown she was clad in. "As far as I know that car has been parked outside for days. Are you sure that is the car you are looking for?"
The policeman didn't reply but took the keys outside. 10 minutes later they returned and gave the keys back to Skeesy.
"Did you find what you were looking for?' Skeesy asked as she accepted the keys back.
"No. May I ask for how long has Jacob been in New York?"
"He drove off with a colleague yesterday morning. He is away for a week" Skeesy lied.
"Very well. It is probably a case of a misread number plate. Thank you for your co-operation. May I ask your name?"
"Marcia. Marcia Skeese"
"Thank you Marcia. Stay safe. This is a tough neighbourhood. Plenty of unsavoury characters around here. Keep your doors locked"
"Thank you officer"
