Chapter 48 by neoas

What's next?

Grubman believes Tommy.

Selina knelt down on Tommy's blue carpet, her ear on the wooden door that separated her from Tommy Sargent Grubman. There was silence for a few seconds after Tommy explained anything. Selina could mentally imagine the scene outside. Grubman, the old and fat cop, was probably looking into Tommy's eyes with a look of unspoken accusation. That was a common strategy that Selina herself used on more than one occasion to convince younger witnesses to tell her the truth. She also imagined Tommy staring defiantly up at Grubman, not telling him anything. Atleast, she hoped that was what he was doing. Selina could afford to be hopeful about this since there was no sound of a conversation going on out there.

In the silence, Selina looked down at herself, seeing the fine dress hugging the curves of her body. She wished that she could have met Tommy in clothing that was more of her style. even though she always knew that she had a good figure, Selina had always been careful to dress modestly and never flaunt herself around, feeling that such behavior was incredibly unbecoming for someone in her position. Despite the fact that she admittedly loved the way she looked in this dress, it just wasn't her. But then again, she hadn't exactly been herself in a very long time, had she? Memories flashed through her mind, hurting her head a bit. This had been happening regularly since she woke up in the Warehouse. At first, Selina chalked it up to a bad dream from being knocked out, but then they just kept coming. Flashes of things here and there. First she remembered meeting Jonny. She recalled his eyes glowing and then her thoughts changing...did he do something to her, put her under a spell of some kind? As time went on, she remembered more. She remembered a strange man talking to her, and then black smoke leaving him and forcing its way into her. That should have been all Selina could remember, but when Jonny was made to devour Lisa's soul, the emotional stress he was under, caused some sort of psychic bleed over. Selina remembered things that Jonny had done in his body and knew that the black formless smoke was actually Jonny. She also got a little bit of Jonny;s thoughts from when he was in her body, telling her that Jonny was never actually just a kid. He was a powerful demon who enslaved her best friend and then wore her own body like the dress that she was now wearing. Selina clenched her fists. She wanted **** on this monster for taking away her life and for potentially killing her best friend, but she didn't know how she could do that. Jonny could be anyone right now and she had no clues. All she knew was that she had to get out of this dress and that she had to find a place that she could hide out for awhile and wait things out.

Suddenly, Selina's thoughts were interrupted by Grubman's laughing. "Thanks for the milk kid! Be careful in here. There's a dangerous fugitive on the loose and we're going to need your help to catch her, so stay inside and stay safe. If anything happens, let me know!" he said as Selina heard the sound of an empty milk glass hitting the table and then the door closes. Selina had been so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even hear the conversation. What had Grubman said to Tommy? Selina opened the door slowly to see Tommy looking up at her.

"Selina? Are you a bad lady?" Tommy asked innocently.

Selina just knelt down on one knee again so that she could be at Tommy's height. She knew that she wasn't a bad person, but there was no doubt that she had done bad things while her body was under Jonny's control and she certainly didn't currently look like a good police officer. She didn't know how to answer the question right now so she just responded with, "do you think I'm a bad lady, Tommy?"

Tommy shook his small head. "I don't think you're a bad lady, but the big man said you were. He said you made that place go boom" he said, clearly distraught,

Selina sighed, now wanting **** on Jonny even more. "Tommy, I promise you that I did not do anything like that. I'm a good guy, and the bag guy is making me look like the bad guy right now. I'm being framed, like that time when everyone thought Superman had turned evil but he really hadn't. You remember that right?" She asked, making a reference that she knew the boy would understand.

Tommy smiled a little, feeling reassured. "Yeah, I remember. Can I help you be good again?" he asked eagerly.

Selina smiled warmly at the seven year old. "Right now, all I need is a place to hide and some new clothing. Can you help me with that?"

Tommy nodded. "My mommy has spare clothes in her room" he said sweetly.

"You're the best, Tommy" Selina said, hugging the boy tightly. As Tommy hugged back, something strange started to happen. Selina started to feel dizzy. Her vision was going black. What was happening? Had Jonny found her? Was her body about to be taken over again? Her entire body felt like it was burning apart. Tommy started to get scared and cry. Selina's whole body felt like it was on fire as her skin became replaced by black smoke and flames. Her dress, undergarments and heels fell to the floor in a pile as Selina's entire body was replaced with the smoke which by natural reflex lunged into Tommy's open mouth. The boy's small body shook and choked as the smoke **** it's way all the way down his throat. He fell to the floor ****, his body still jerking as the smoke **** itself into control of his body.

After a few moments, Tommy's eyes opened and the boy sat up. "What happened?" He asked and then jumped, noticing his voice. He jumped up and then nearly fell back down. something was wrong. His weight distribution wasn't right. He looked down and instead of seeing two large mounds protruding from his dress covered chest, he saw nothing but the small fully clothed body of a seven year old boy. The dress was on the floor in front of him. "Oh my gosh...I...I possessed him? Am...am I like Jonny?" he wondered aloud, getting used to his new voice as he began pacing around the room, just as hyper as a normal seven year old. He had to figure things out.

Tommy picked up the bundle of clothing from the floor, which was very heavy for his small body, and carried it into his room, hiding it under his bed. With that out of sight, he jumped onto Tommy's bed and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Memories of Tommy's life filled his head, but he also got more flashes of Jonny's thoughts from when the demon had possessed Selina. Suddenly, he knew all about the possession power somehow. Jonny's rage from killing Lisa must have triggered more than just memories to bleed over, but powers as well. Selina could willingly turn her body into demonic smoke and do to others what Jonny had did to her. The last thing she wanted was to steal the life of an innocent child, especially one who had helped her to hide, but this would definitely help her to hide from Jonny and figure out where the demon was. Still, this felt bad...

What's next?
