Marriot Hotel, Pennsylvania:
Tommy stays next to the Zombie Girls as they leave the tour bus and enter the hotel. Chyna and Andrew supervised the girls' luggage since they'll be in town for a while. So far, Tommy has learned that Zane and Chyna were a couple. Raven had a boyfriend back home who owned several greenhouses that supplied flowers, herbs, and exotic plants across Pennsylvania. Like Raven, he was part of the same coven she was in.

Tommy was warned by Raven and Zane not to smoke or accept any marijuana items from Beverly. Beverly had a medical marijuana card she carried that allowed her to smoke marijuana any time she wanted. Tommy also learned that Juniper had just broken up with her boyfriend of three years after catching him screwing three other ladies. Beverly didn’t go into it, but Juniper was staying sex free while they were touring.

Olivia had a boyfriend who made custom weapons for customers. Some of his custom weapons had been used in several movies, and he had been a contestant on Forged in Fire. She carried around a custom sword he made for her to wear on stage as part of her outfit. She cautioned Tommy not to touch the blade because it was laser-edged.

Tommy turned over her dirty clothes in her backpack to Kevin to have cleaned. She had to empty the pockets of the old army jacket she wore because it held all her special items. When Kevin saw the name on the jacket, he looked at Tommy. “Who is Jenkins?”

“He’s a friend I made in my first week of living on the streets. I wasn’t prepared when I ran away, and he took me under his wing and taught me how to survive. He had built a hidden shelter under an overpass. He had electricity, and it was warm to sleep in. He built it out of scrap wood and nails he could find. When he was on death’s door, he gave me his jacket to keep me warm on the streets.” Tears were starting to form in Tommy’s eyes.

“What happened to his shelter?” Kevin was curious.

“The city found out about it and tore it down.” Tommy couldn’t believe someone had squealed to the city.

“I’ll make sure the cleaners are careful with the jacket.” Kevin turns and takes the backpack out to be cleaned along with the jacket.

“Hey, Tommy, how big is your chest?” Beverly was curious.

“Don’t know. I never learned how to measure myself, and I always felt like I was a pervert when I went into a store for women.” Tommy felt uncomfortable in stores that catered to women.

“Sweetie, I hate to say this, but you're a girl. Sure, you look like a tomboy from a distance, but your body is shaping up to look like a teenage girl’s body.” Raven could see how feminine Tommy looked and how soft her voice sounded.

“Properly because of all the drugs my stepmother gave me or injected into me.” Tommy knew her stepmother implanted three strips of something into her body.

“What do you mean by injected into you, Tommy?” Olivia was curious.

“My stepmother had the doctor who operated on me inject whatever these things are under my skin.” Tommy lifts the T-shirt Beverly gave her to wear up and shows the ladies the spot.

Raven comes over first and kneels to look at the spot. She runs her fingertips over it and feels three round things, about the length of a pen cap, under Tommy’s skin. She looks at the others in the room. “She’s right; I can feel three small strips under Tommy’s skin.”

Zane comes over, kneels beside Raven, and places her finger where Raven’s had been. She could feel three objects under Tommy’s skin, side by side to each other.

“They could be estrogen strips. Tommy, when was the last time your stepmother gave you a shot or pill?” Zane stands up from behind Tommy.

“I don’t know. The last thing I remember from my stepmother is waking up hours later after passing out.” Tommy was puzzled.

“I think your foster mother implanted estrogen strips under your skin, Tommy. Since you don’t have your testes, you needed to keep your body chemistry balanced.” Zane couldn’t believe what they had just discovered about Tommy.

“We might want to get her blood tested to see how strong those strips are.” Juniper was starting to hate Tommy’s stepmother.

“Well, since you have your t-shirt already lifted up, Tommy. Let’s see how big your breasts are.” Zane helps Tommy with her shirt.

Tommy lets Zane take her shirt off, while Beverly measures her. She giggles when Beverly wraps the tape measure around her chest. She couldn’t help it.

“Are we ticklish?’ Beverly wore a playful smile.

“Yes, ma’am.” Tommy tries to stand still and not squirm while Beverly measures her.

“You’re a C cup, Tommy.” Beverly double-checks to make sure.

“What are the rest of her measurements, goofy?” Zane looks at her cousin.

“36-27-36.” Beverly looks towards her cousin.

“If you say so.” Tommy has no idea what that means.

Zane just shakes her head. She could see the confused look on Tommy’s face.

“It means we need to teach you how to wear a bra and how to take care of yourself. Also, you might want to start looking more like a girl, so we can hide you in plain sight.” Zane figures those men who tried to kidnap Tommy will still be looking for her.

“Well, you ladies have tomorrow off and can do some sightseeing if you want to. I know someone who can get us a new identity card for Tommy.”
Thomas knew people who made convincing fake ID cards and forgeries that would pass any government scan.

“Well, before we do anything, Kevin should be back soon with some clothes for Tommy here. Afterwards, I suggest we either take Tommy to have her hair done or hire a stylist to come here and do the job.” Juniper figures it's best to hide Tommy’s identity.

“What name should we give her?” Beverly knew that when you thought or heard the name Tommy, you thought of a boy.

“Tommy, would you be okay using the name Tammy? I know it might bring up bad memories of your stepmother.”

“I think we should call her Imp.” A smile forms on Beverly’s face.

“It would fit with our stage names, but she needs a real name for now.” Olivia was smiling when she spoke.

“I don’t mind answering to Tammy. It’s easy to remember.” Tommy didn’t mind using Tammy as her name.

“Okay, I’ll make arrangement with the person I know.” Thomas didn’t mind dishing out the money to hide Tommy.

Two hours later, Kevin shows up with a bunch of clothes in Tommy/Tammy’s size. He has her try the clothes on to make sure they fit. Raven helps Tammy put the clothes on and shows her how to wear a bra. Tammy puts on a little show for the others, with a little coaching from Beverly.

After Tammy finishes dressing, Olivia and Juniper take Tammy out to get her hair styled and colored. If Tammy was going to be their assistant, she needed to fit the part.

Back at the hotel, Kevin and Thomas look at Zane. “What did you discover about the thumb drive and the cellphone?”

“I’m still cleaning up the picture on the thumb drive; as for the cellphone. You won't believe what is on it.” Zane shows Kevin and Thomas several pictures.

“What are we looking at?” Both men were curious.

“That’s Senator Andrew Columns, and the other person, I have no idea who that is. But listen to this.” Zane plays the audio on the cellphone for them.

They were talking about getting the formula off the thumb drive and making it. Once they had it made, the other person could turn it into an aerosol and disperse it.

“Okay, that doesn’t sound good. What did Tommy stumble into?” Thomas looks at Zane for an answer.

“I don’t know, but we might want to alert the authorities about this.” Zane knew whatever they were talking about could be dangerous.

“Before we turn anything over, finish clearing up that picture, so we can see what it is and don’t mention this to anyone else.” Kevin knew the other girls didn’t need to know this right now.

“Who are you planning on giving this info to, Thomas?” Kevin looks towards his husband.

“Our friend Marshal Bullock in Tennessee. I only trust him with this information.” Thomas looks back at Kevin.

“Oh, he’s going to love this, after all the crap he has been through with that crazy bounty hunter,” Kevin remembered some of the stories Bullock shared with them.
