When you got home, you were floating on air. You couldn't believe your luck. By this time tomorrow, you would be a different person. You would be younger and prettier.
Even your first ex-husband, who married some little tart in her twenties, would be impressed. He would be even more than impressed, he would be hot for you. Not that he would know who you were. You mused about seeking your ex-husband with your new body just to screw with his head. You could get him all hot and bothered and then publicly humiliate him. He deserved it.
Your ex-husband reminded you of your children. They wouldn't know you either. After the swap, could you see them? It would be great to be young again, but that didn't mean you wanted to give up your family. This was on your mind when you returned to the office.
In the lobby, Hayden greeted you. "Miss Cable, I'm glad to see you."
"Ummm, I have some questions," you replied.
" I was about to take you to orientation. Hold all your questions until then. They'll be answered there."
" Just one thing.". You didn't want to take the job if you couldn't be a mother and grandmother.
" Don't worry about it. Whatever it is. They'll deal with it."
You followed Hayden through several corridors to a small conference room. When you entered, you saw a pretty middle-aged woman standing in front. She looked a little familiar but you couldn't place her. She was wearing a dark women's business suit with a white blouse and red scarf.
The feeling that you had seen this woman before made you lose your train of thought. Then it occurred to you.
" Aren't you..."
" Yes, well sort of."
" You mean," you said as understanding hit you. Standing before you was the special agent who was supposed to investigate this company. You knew this is a body swap company. You put two and two together and realized what must have happened. The person front of you wasn't the real agent, she is someone who stole the agents body. You became immediately scared.
" Yes, it's what you think," the woman said. She had had this conversation many times before. Continuing she said, " and before you ask, the woman, or should I say man, who used to be me, is now serving five to fifteen years in prison for embezzlement and a host of other crimes."
It was worse then you thought. You didn't know what to do.
Before you could say anything, the woman said, " I hear you have some questions."
