Playing the hero

Chantelle still had her gun pointed at the director, who smugly smiled and showed no fear. Barbie put her hand on Chantelle and said, “We need to rethink this. He clearly can’t be intimidated by normal and he must have something that we don’t know about.”

The director smiled and said, “Barbara, you really were the brains of your little operation. You played the dumb blonde very well.”

Chantelle regrettably put her gun down and sighed saying, “Shit…what do we do now?”

The director mocked her and said, “What indeed, Agent Lewis? You had to have guessed this wasn’t some normal operation. The power to **** people naked? The power to **** them into sex slaves? Then those sex slaves can transform into anything? Cmon, you’re from heart of where are of the mystical bullshit happens.”

Sophie spoke up next: “Mystical? You mean this isn’t technological?”

The director smiled and said, “Ah! The pet project of my rogue agent. The little tadpole Sophie! Did you really think an app could make all of this happen? That we just transported your clothes to another location any time you put something on? C’mon! Even that is more far fetched than the truth.”

Melanie grimaced and said, “You are making it sound like our clothes are lost forever…”

The director smiled and said, “The key cog herself, Melanie, had graced us with her presence. If Charlie had done his job, none of this would be happening. Water under the bridge at this point since these two are the best girls I’ve ever had. To be honest with you, Mel. The best thing I can say is you are all cursed. The contracts you sign whether it be for Naked Ambition or Naked Forever cannot be reversed. Cursed to never wear clothes again as well as cursed to be a sex ****.”

Jenny looked sad and asked, “So I’m like this forever?”

The director smiled and said, “Don’t be sad, Jennifer. You have a superpower now and honestly you probably haven’t ever been happier than when you were on Naked Forever. Honestly, I wish all of you could see the benefit, but I can’t convince you to change your minds. Likewise, you can’t convince me to change mine. Sooooo…it’s seems we are at a stalemate.”

Mel put on a brave face as she stepped forward and said, “What if I turned myself in and you freed my friends? I’m the one who caused all of these problems and the main source of this problem.”

The director smiled evilly, “Very interesting proposition…”

“Goddamnit, Mel! I said no heroes today! Lexie would kill me if anything happened to you,” Chantelle said.

Barbie said, “Mel, this doesn’t fix anything by you sacrificing yourself. If anyone should be sacrificing themselves, it will be me. I’m the leader of the glitches so I have to be a bigger bargaining chip.”

The director giggling a little kid and said: “I love where this is going. Oh the drama! I love it! I love it! I love it!

Chantelle turned to Barbie: “Oh for fuck’s sake! I literally just told Mel no heroes and you still try it. We aren't losing ANYONE today, you hear me?”

Sophie was quietly thinking the whole time as the three of them bickered while Jenny looked distressed and concerned. The director really did have all the cards but wasn’t making any moves…Sophie had a light bulb moment. She quickly pulled aside Chantelle and said, “He wants to negotiate.”

Chantelle still clearly frustrated with everything said: “What!? How do you know that, Sophie? What if this is all just an elaborate trap?”

Sophie brought the clear facts and said, “He clearly let us up here first and foremost without any problems. He also seems to have no fear so he must be in charge of the contracts. He is clearly testing us to see if we can get ourselves out of the situation. He seems willing to play as long as we follow the rules.”

Chantelle could finally think straight thanks to Sophie’s intervention. She took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, “I have a proposal for you, Mr. Director!”

The director smiled and said, “I’ll allow it…please continue.”
