Executing the plan

Hailey was banking on William having forgotten her entirely. After all, why would he remember her? He did the same thing to a different girl each week; she wasn’t special to him. Nevertheless, she felt nervous as she sat next to him at the dive bar he frequented, ordering a drink. She’d used part of her savings for a temporary anti-inebriation mod. Without the Alpha discount, Pearson’s was pretty expensive. They only subsidized mods on the Alpha Approval list, which was limited to the kinds of mods Alphas in general approved of. Like bigger tits.

Hailey put on her best smile and directed it at William before ordering a glass of wine. He looked confused for a moment, women didn’t usually approach him. Then his grin came back. Hailey almost puked when she saw that grin again. “Hey there, sugartits.” He looked her up and down. “Cancel that wine, bartender. She’s doing shots with me.”

The bartender looked at her for a moment, almost as if to ask her before he noticed her bracelet designating her as Local. He poured two shots, setting them in front of the pair. Hailey looked William straight in the eyes, not saying a word before downing her shot in one go.

“Just wanted to show you I swallow,” she winked at him. William’s grin became wider before he downed his own shot as well.

“Oh you’ll be swallowing a lot more before the night is through.”

“Promise?”

“Barkeep, leave the bottle.”

As the evening progressed William seemed to be trying to get Hailey drunk out of her mind before subjecting her to his affections. Perhaps because he was impressed with her mysterious ability to chug an entire bottle of tequila without blacking out. Perhaps because he was waiting for her to pass out before starting on the really nasty stuff. Whatever the reason, at the end of the evening it was him being supported by Hailey rather than the other way around. After Hailey whispered a number of filthy promises in his ear he told the bartender not to bother calling them a cab as Hailey said she lived close by.

“Hurry up slut,” he slurred his words “I’m going to wreck you like the liquor should have.”

Hailey rolled her eyes. “If you can’t wait, we can have a quickie in the alley?”

William leered at her. “I like a cunt with initiative.” He lumbered into the alley, stopping in surprise at the car that was parked there. “What’s this…?”

“My car, babe. Why don’t you get in and get comfortable?”

“Came prepared huh?…” William grinned as Hailey opened the car, helping him in when he suddenly felt a pinch in his neck.

As he fell forward, **** into the back seat Hailey said: “Oh you have no idea.”

“You look woozy.”

“You would be too, Ag, if you’d drank three bottles of tequila.”

“Three… no wonder prince charming is snoring in the backseat over there.”

“Him? He barely finished a single bottle, the lightweight. So much for Alpha superiority…”

“Well… you are modded…”

“So is he; you can’t tell me that freakshow between his legs is normal… In any case, the SleepTight is doing it’s job. How long until we’re in Antigone?”

“Three hours.”

“Then I’m getting some sleep. Wake me when we’re there.”

“This is like that movie, where they lug around the dead guy.”

Hailey rolled her eyes. For all her complaints, Agatha had been grinning the entire time, making jokes. “Take it seriously!” Hailey hissed as they were wheeling a still **** William Thorne through the streets.

“I am taking it seriously, Hailey. I think you’re the one who isn’t. You know how many things can go wrong here? And not just that, how many know something is going on… Tristan who forged the passports and adoption papers, Atia who’s going to be performing the procedure, the bartender who saw you leave with him…. his roommate might miss him too. I’m just enjoying myself while it lasts. If I’m going to spend the rest of my life drenched in cum, I’m going to have fun with this little caper.”

“Oh ye of little faith…”

Hailey had been right about one thing, nobody looked twice at the two girls pushing around a clearly **** man in a wheelchair. Antigone Falls was a pretty standard OZ in a lot of aspects except for one, there was an almost perpetual party going on. Unlike Salt Bay, it wasn’t a theme park per se. But every week there was a different theme, different parades, contests, specialty drinks only available in that week and so on.

Its founders, two Alphas from Queen’s River named Josh and Elliot had put forward a question during their college years. At some point Alphas in Queen’s River were expected to become relatively serious, stop the constant partying and in some identifiable way contribute to the town. The question they posed was simple: “Why?”

They moved their families to an abandoned tourist trap a couple of hours away and started working. Ironically, their desire to avoid work instead meant they worked harder then they ever would have had they just gotten a lazy Alpha job somewhere.

It meant switching their degrees to engineering and construction, no easy path in and out of itself, it meant putting their entire family fortune at risk and it meant years of long hard work. One wonders, if they truly wanted to slack off there are any number of ways an Alpha can achieve an easy lifestyle.

But Josh and Elliot weren’t ordinary slackers. They had a vision in which no Alpha would ever have to apply himself to anything other than partying ever again. 7 years after their shared vision during a **** induced dream they had realized it. And they named it Antigone Falls.

A series of concentric rings with in the middle what amounted to a palace. Canals running through every street, connecting all the roads. Even with the canals the streets were wide enough to accommodate a mass of people, the canals used for the various parades and floats. And a veritable legion of Betas and Locals to make everything run smoothly.

Every single person in any position of responsibility was a Local. From the mayor to bartenders to the diving squads ready to pick up **** people that accidentally took a dive. From the cops to the repairmen and women. It had taken years of their life, but Josh and Elliot had created their version of Nirvana.

The first five rings were dedicated to what was called the Eternal Party. The rest was residential and various service buildings. Outside the city was farmland. The founder’s vision included full self sustainability. Given its proximity, it was a popular holiday destination for Queen’s River. Normally Alphas from Queen’s River acted responsibly and with restraint. Going to Antigone to ‘let go’ was therefore a popular option.

And with that atmosphere came a certain… laxness when it came to the rule of law. While there was a significant police ****, their main mandate was ‘Nothing stops the party’. Anything that had influence on the running of the city was dealt with ruthlessly. If you interfered with a Local on duty or with a Beta belonging to someone else, it would be awhile before you saw daylight again.

But if you didn’t disturb the peace, or do anyone harm, the police had other priorities. Which meant Antigone was a haven for companies like Wyatt’s who were competing with Pearson’s but couldn’t comply with regulations elsewhere for whatever reason. **** dealers on every corner were tolerated as long as they weren’t harassing anyone. And no bar had ever needed a liquor license.

Hailey and Agatha rolled William through the throngs to the back entrance of Wyatt’s Designer Bodies where they were awaited by an agitated looking doctor Atia.

“You’re late!” She hissed.

“You try moving through that crowd” Hailey snapped back.

“You have the papers?”

“Yup, here they are, all signed and correct. As discussed.”

“Come in then… let’s get this over with.”

“Your Alpha not with you?”

“No,” Hailey said as she pushed the wheelchair forward. “But you know how they are; if a Beta can do it, then why should they?”

Doctor Atia nodded. “It’s a weird request, I don’t mind saying. But then, that’s why your Alpha approached us. That and our reputation for confidentiality.” Atia gestured them forwards into the operating theater. Hailey had been in a Pearson’s before, with an Alpha that wanted her blonde for the weekend and this… was not that. Oh sure, it looked clean and professional. But Pearson’s radiated money and status. Wyatt’s radiated a quiet desperation. There was no one waiting in any of the waiting rooms. Besides one nurse, there was no other staff.

“So, let’s go over your Alpha’s request one more time, Ms. Hyde. He wants you and Mr. Jekyll to change bodies, as it were.”

“To be more precise, he wants you to sculpt my body to be indistinguishable from his and his body to be indistinguishable from mine. On top of that, his new body should be installed with obedience mods and he should not be able to communicate to anyone his previous name or situation. For him it is a…. punishment of sorts.”

Doctor Atia nodded. “We see feminization used as punishment quite often. It’s a weird notion if you ask me, what’s punishing about being a woman? No mods for you?”

“No, apparently being put in a male body was punishment enough.”

Doctor Atia grinned. “Now that, I can see.” If she found it strange that Hailey was submitting to procedures without an Alpha there to compel her she didn’t say. After all, that was the point of a Beta right, that they obeyed? Even if they didn’t want to or liked it?

“And what has happened to Mr. Jekyll to make him this relaxed?”

“Our… Alpha allowed him one last party. I’m afraid when the party was coming to an end he tried to make a run for it and we had to administer a dose of SleepTight. I believe you mentioned to our Alpha that that would not be a problem?”

“Oh, Pearson’s will tell you it is. And that other **** or **** in the system can produce all sorts of issues and side effects. But it’s nothing an accomplished doctor such as myself at Wyatt’s cannot counteract. Don’t worry, Ms. Hyde. The procedure will be a success.”

“Then let’s proceed.”
