a week after that, it was Bill Gilbert!" I recognized the names. Both had been major figures in the Kinky Porn business. And both were mentioned as Missing in the clippings I'd copied. "I didn't kill them," Janna hissed, "Although they may wish I had! I certainly hope they do, anyway. But at least they taught me that I can't trust anyone I used to work for!"

"Yes you can, I persisted, "Hiring me may have cost you some bucks, but believe me, I'm a gi-a man of my word; Your secret is safe now."

"Sure," she sneered, rising, "See you around, Pig!"

And she stalked out.

I didn't waste time worrying about her. Instead, I took a cab to the finest hotel in the City, where I spent the night in comfort I hadn't known in almost a year. How delightful to be showering all by myself! Without anyone ogling my curves! And how comforting to think that soon now, I'd be rid of those curves!

MISTER JO'S ILLUSION BOUTIQUE?"

"It certainly is," came the reply, "What can we do for you?"

"I'm a pre-operative transsexual who wants to go back to Butch," I lied, "I'm going to need some chemicals and hormones to shrink my breasts and hips, something to start hair growing on my body again, and -ahI'm going to need some solvent to help remove an artificial -ervagina. Can you handle it?"

"We can indeed, "The voice on the other end replied, "We here at MISTER JO's like to think of ourselves as more than just a kinky clothing store: WE're a Friend to the Sexual Minorities of this City, and we pride ourselves on providing any service they might want. Why just this evening I sold a complete kit for feminization to--"

"That's really nice," I interrupted, "But can you help me? I've worn these things an awfully long time, and I'm going to need a lot of help getting rid of all this."

"No problem," He assured me, "We're closed now, of course, but if you just stop by a Noon tomorrow, I can provide you with a whole array of hormones, solvents, astringents, and anything else you might need to start looking manly again!"

Noon! That fit in perfectly with my plans for the next day.
