Another week past and Tiffany was to fly to Los Angeles to walk the red carpet at the Globe awards. Brenda and Tiffany went to lunch together to talk.

“Tiffany, I don’t know how much longer I can do this. It's destroying my life,” Brenda said.

“I know it sounds selfish, but I’m having the time of my life, imagine, I’m going to walk the red carpet with some hunk of a movie star,” Tiffany said.

“I’m excited for you, but you have no idea of how I have to degrade myself for this investigation. We have to put pressure on Melissa or I’m going to lose my mind,” Brenda said.

“Hang in there, it won’t be much longer. Do you have any ideas on how to pressure her?” Tiffany asked.

“I’ve been doing terrible things and if I say I’m going to the police it might spook her into doing something stupid,” she said.

“I’m not too keen on that idea. Remember the last girl that tried that ended up dead.”

“Tiffany, I have to do something. I can’t keep doing what I’m doing,” Brenda said.

“Wait until I get back from LA, so at least you’ll have backup. I’m sure Hank will help, too,” Tiffany said.

“Alright, I will. How’s Hank anyway?” Brenda asked.

Tiffany blushed when Brenda asked that.

“You like him, don’t you?” Brenda asked.

“Kind of, he’s so nice,” Tiffany said.

“Have you kissed him?”

“Yes.”

“Did you like it?”

“Oh Brenda, I’m so afraid, I loved it when we kissed. It made me feel so….so.”

“So much like a woman?”

“Yes, like a woman and what scared me most was that I liked feeling like one, Brenda. What am I going to do?” Tiffany asked with obvious concern in her voice.

“I’m your friend Tiffany and I know I told you to become Tiffany and have fun with it, but to be careful. Be sure this is the direction you want to go, it can lead to a lot of heartache and end up at a place you don’t want to be. You’ve become a beautiful woman and a superstar and now you’re going to Hollywood to walk the carpet and show just how pretty you are. Have you thought about what you’re going to do after this is over? You could write your own ticket to stardom. You’ll be wanted for movies and not just the B features you could be in now, but real productions and every glamour line will want you, you’re the next Christie Brinkley. Are you going to be able to give that up and if you aren’t able to, you know you will have to become Tiffany Rollins for real. You already know your family hates that you’re like this now and if it were to become permanent would they accept you? You have a lot to think about Tiffany, you can become rich and famous or you can do what you wanted to do most, be an FBI agent, only as Dirk,” Brenda said.

“What would you do?” Tiffany asked.

“Are you kidding, I would have had the operation a long time ago, but you’re asking the wrong person, because I like who I have become and there is no way I’m going to go back to being Matt. I love being a woman and after this is over I’m finishing the disguise and making it permanent. I’ll be a female FBI agent and still have the job I want. You could do the same as Tiffany, but it’s something you have to want more than life itself and I could think of worse things than being a super model. I envy you Tiffany. If you decide to become Dirk again, come by and I’ll show you the time of your life,” Brenda giggled.

“I’ll think about it Brenda. It’s becoming harder each day to remember exactly who I am, Tiffany seems to be becoming a stronger personality and Dirk seems to be growing weaker,” she said.

“I can’t give you any advice about that except to do what feels right. If you feel like being Tiffany then embrace it and if you feel fearful then try to balance your feelings with Dirk and what he would do,” Brenda said.

“What should I do about Hank?” Tiffany asked.

“Is he your friend or something else?” Brenda asked.

“He started out as a friend and now I don’t know. It scares me Brenda. When he kisses me I don’t want him to stop and I shouldn’t feel that way.”

“You shouldn’t feel that way or I should say Dirk shouldn’t, but there’s nothing wrong with a girl wanting to be kissed by a boy. Tiffany, it sounds to me that you’ve become much more of a woman than you think. Go with the kiss if you like it, there’s nothing wrong with that, you might find some pleasure if you do,” Brenda said.

“But I’m not like you Brenda, you’re full of adventure and not afraid to try anything but I’ve always been careful and think a lot about something before I do it,” Tiffany said.

“Maybe you should be a little more like me. It can be fun,” Brenda laughed.

“I’ll try, maybe I’ll let my movie star kiss me in the limo,” Tiffany giggled.

“That’ll be the day,” Brenda said.

“I might surprise you. Let’s go, we have to get back to work.”

Tiffany left for Hollywood the next day. She was to wear a new Margaret Voss creation that was sure to stop traffic.

Brenda was becoming more at odds with herself. She knew she had to continue with the deception she had so carefully crafted, but the life of a whore isn’t one she could condone much longer. She felt that she was a proper young woman and the things the FBI were asking her to do was against all she felt was right, deception or not. She decided to apply some pressure on Melissa.

“Melissa, we need to talk,” Brenda said when Melissa came to work at her customary hour of arrival.

“About what dear?” she asked.

“About what I’m doing after working here all day, that’s what,” Brenda said.

“Let’s go into my office, we shouldn’t discuss that out here,” Melissa said.

The girls entered Melissa’s office and Brenda close the door.

“Okay Brenda, what’s bothering you?” Melissa asked.

“The escort thing, I don’t want to do it anymore,” Brenda said.

“You don’t want to do it anymore? My, my, aren’t we the ungrateful one. I’ve been here for you through all your problems and I ask you to do a little favor for me and now you don’t want to do it?” Melissa asked.

“You’ve been very kind to me Melissa, but whoring for you isn’t what I had in mind when I took this job. I’m losing all self respect,” Brenda said.

“Well Brenda, I don’t give a damn about your self respect, and you owe me and I expect payment and that payment is you going out with the clients I ask you to go with,” Melissa practically shouted.

“I won’t do it Melissa, I’m finished,” Brenda said.

“I’m afraid you’re not finished by a long shot cupcake, I own you. You’ve become my most popular escort and if you think I’m going to give you up you can forget it. You need your cocaine and if you don’t do as I say, I’ll cut you off. It is as simple as that,” Melissa said.

“I don’t need your damn stuff, I can get it somewhere else,” Brenda said.

“Fine, get it somewhere else, I don’t really care, but you are still going to work for me, my partners will see to that. Let me make one thing clear Brenda, it’s better to be a live whore than a dead receptionist. Do I make myself clear?” Melissa said.

“I thought you only had one partner?” Brenda said.

“You stupid cunt, how do you think I keep the girls in line and get what ever drugs I need? From the police, that’s how. One other thing, don’t even think of telling anyone about this conversation because no one would believe the police would be involved and the very police you would be telling are the ones that are my partners and you would end up like that stupid Natalia bitch. She thought about going to the police and she ended up telling one of my partners about this operation and you know what happened to her, so don’t make the same mistake. You had better get used to having some guy’s thing in your mouth and other places Brenda, because this is just the beginning for you,” Melissa spat out in fury.

Brenda’s statements to Melissa had had the desired results. Melissa had lost her cool and let her mouth run off before she had a chance to think of what she was saying. She had pretty much blown the whole operation in the few minutes it took her to take Brenda to task. Brenda would call Bill Cline and tell him of the conversation and this thing would finally be over.

“I’m sorry Melissa, I thought you would be more understanding, but I guess I was wrong. I’ll do as you ask, but I won’t screw anyone and if the customer doesn’t like it too bad. I have to draw the line somewhere,” Brenda said.

“Listen here miss high and mighty. If you think you’re only going to give head for the rest of the time you work for me, you have another thing coming. My customers won’t put up with that kind of nonsense, so you can either give it to them or wait to be raped it’s your choice. Now get your miserable face out of my office.”

Brenda returned to her desk, her face was red with rage, she would get even with the bitch, maybe not today, but her day would come.

Melissa picked up the phone and called her boyfriend.

“Arnold, we have a problem,” she said.

“What’s that?” he asked.

“Brenda’s having second thoughts about her job and she knows too much about our operation. What do you think we should do?” she asked.

“We could take care of her like we did with Natalia, or we could just scare her enough that she won’t question you again,” he said.

“I’d hate to kill her because she’s making a lot of money for us, on the other hand if she’s gone it will be one less thing to worry about,” Melissa said.

“Let’s think about it for a few days, right now you’re angry with her and that might influence your decision. Lets talk about it next Monday and if you still feel the same I’ll have one of the guys take care of it,” Arnold said.

“Okay, I’ll wait, but until then I’m going to work that bitch’s ass off, she’ll be sorry she ever crossed me,’ Melissa said.
