Chapter One
The first thought anyone had when they were told his name was “How appropriate”. The fact that he habitually wore a well-fitting pin-stripe suit over a silk shirt and tie, and that his built-up shoes were always polished to a point you could see your face in them were clues that no-one could miss.
He may have been short and slim with long black hair in a pony-tail and dressed like a gay man but Phillip ‘Nancy Boy’ McGill was no queer. ‘Nancy Boy’ was a cold-hearted and successful killer with more kills than you could count, even if you used your toes; even if you added someone else’s as well. There were a lot of ladies who could attest to his manliness, most of them waitresses or dancers in the local clubs. He always made it a rule not to mix with ‘normal’ people as he had found them to be too unpredictable for his safety. You never knew when you needed to pull a gun or a knife in public and an ordinary woman would be likely to swoon at the wrong time. One never wanted to give an enemy a better than even chance.
Phil McGill worked for ‘Cravat’ Chitticello, the godfather of the Southside Slayers. The gang was strong in all sorts of illicit things, including the distribution of drugs, illicit hormones, and nubile women with no English, no paperwork and no future. Anyone who got in their way was ‘discouraged’ in no uncertain terms and some, so they say, were never seen again. They did run a tight ship and the whole gang was very well looked after by their godfather so it was shock to Phil the day that he was ordered to dispose of a small crew on the edge of their patch who, he was told, were skimming the take.
Phil never took things on face value, even if he was a good member of the inner circle. He called his wing-man, Daniel Draper, and met him to go and see these miscreants before he carried out his orders. Even though Daniel was no bigger than he was, the two of them had such a reputation that they were told the truth immediately. It was a rival gang that had invaded that section of their turf and the guys in trouble had been too scared to admit that they could not protect their business.
Daniel and Phil followed through with their orders and then went hunting for the invaders. They discovered that the new gang liked to hang out at a café that became a folk music venue in the evenings. A few days later two very short, long-haired beatniks turned up in the late afternoon to set up their gig. The gang members took no interest in them as they set their guitar cases on the counter and then took out Mac-10s and totally eliminated the gang in less than twenty seconds of sustained fire. One beatnik turned to the other and said “I think the audience here has lost interest in music, shall we go?”
Some days passed before the other shoe dropped. The invading gang had been under orders from a bigger gang in another city and their elimination was considered an affront. The out-of-town gang had no concept of reputation or honour, for them it was slash and burn. The Southside Slayers took some big hits before they started to fight back and then the gang war was big enough to pull in other gangs and then the police; who didn’t care who they shot. After three weeks of bloody warfare Phil got a call from ‘Cravat’ to get out of town – just before the sound of machine gun-fire was heard over the line and the call went dead.
Phil and Dan had a car and cash stored away in a lock-up so headed there to make their escape. They were just about to back the car out of the garage when a gang member called Ricky Rivera called out to them to take him along, having followed them to the lock-up. Neither of them trusted Ricky so they got him to sit in front while Dan drove. Nancy sat in the back with his ‘close-quarters’ gun at the ready. Ricky wanted them to take him to his own lock-up and gave Dan the directions.
Ricky had always seemed flaky as far as they were concerned and it was no surprise when they cleared the main part of the city that he went to pull his gun out. Phil simply put a twenty-two sub-sonic round into his temple and he slumped in the seat. At the end of the road they found what he was stopping them for as a line-up of guys stood there with their guns at their sides, expecting the car to stop.
Dan floored the accelerator and they went through the line, knocking guys to the left and right. Of course, as they sped away, the chatter of gunfire was joined by the sound of bullets hitting the back of the car. When preparing the car they had added a layer of steel behind the back seat but the window shattered. Both kept their heads down and Dan did a magnificent job driving for a few seconds without seeing where he was going. They only glanced off a couple of parked cars before getting to a corner where they could speed up.
Phil said “Well, that stuffs up that plan” and Dan told him not to worry as he had a plan B. Some of the bullets had hit important bits and the car was getting towards the end of its tether as they got to a small group of houses and Dan pulled into a driveway and stopped the car among a grove of small trees, out of sight of the road. They took the bags of money and Dan pulled a package out of his satchel, fiddled with it and then left it beside the body of Ricky. He then led Phil back to the roadway and along the road for twenty minutes before going into a small gateway and a path that led to a building that looked like an old service station, mostly overgrown with weeds.
The place looked ready to fall down and Dan said “It is better than it looks. You are the first person to see my other side. I have a couple of cars I have been working on here and there is a small apartment where I can relax. I suppose that it is time to reveal it to you as we will have to burn it down when we leave.” He opened up a side door and they went inside the old garage. Phil had to laugh when he looked at the two cars inside. One was an old Thunderbird but was just a shell at the moment, the motor on a stand next to the workbench. The other was complete, or so it looked. Dan said “This has been a labour of love. It was a 1958 Impala two-door and I have reworked the engine with a 427 Ford motor. I have driven it around a while and it will allow us to hide in full sight.”
Phil looked at the bright red car with the chrome and the trunk that looked like the deck of an aircraft carrier and said “How on earth will a couple of short guys hide in that thing?” Dan said “All will be revealed, just wait a while and please don’t shoot me when I tell you what my plan is.” He led Phil into the apartment and Phil stopped dead when he saw it. There was a distinct feminine look to the place and it was spick and span. Dan put his bags down, turned to his companion, took a deep breath and said “Welcome to my other side. In here I am no longer Daniel but become Danielle. Now you know why I have kept my hair long but haven’t gone with the mo like you. I have cross-dressed since I was a teenager but here is where I have perfected it. I take that car out and cruise as Dani and there are several places I go where Dani will always be given a drink and a chance to dance. There I am just another girl having fun and the killer stays behind here, in the wardrobe.”
He waited for Phil to say something and was relieved when he just started laughing. “You expect the two of us to leave here as a couple of bitches on the lam, you have to be joking. There is no way I would fool anyone, even if I agreed to it. You want to be my girl, well good for you; but it sounds crazy to me at the moment. Let’s have a rest, a drink and let me think about it for a while. In the meantime, you go and tizzy yourself up so I can have a chuckle or two. I promise I won’t shoot you because I have known you too long to let something so crazy get between us.”
Dan got him a beer from the kitchenette and then went into the bedroom and closed the door. Phil sat in the only armchair and slowly drank from the can, all the while trying to think of some other way they could get clear. They were both so easily recognised in this city so it was only by getting a long way away that they could relax. They knew that the police would have a cordon around the whole city, roadblocks on every main road, and patrols looking for the remnants of the gangs. The radio interviews had the police chief saying that it had been a wonderful chance to clean the city up with so many gang members getting killed. There was no room for them here.
After an hour he was starting to doze when the bedroom door opened and a very good looking woman stepped out. He took one look and said “No way!” She said “Yes, Nancy, there is a way. We just have to spend a few hours on you and I am sure you could look as good as me.” Phil was staggered by the look of her, her smell and her voice that sent shivers up and down his spine. He knew, at that moment, that he wanted her in bed. He had never been gay, merely acted it, but he was prepared to be gay for Dani.
They were both very tired and Dani said “We will need to stay here for a couple of days; there is plenty of food in the larder and I’m not a bad cook when I am dressed for it. There is a small office next to the bathroom which has a camp bed; you can use that tonight but first, there is something you really need to do and that is lose that moustache, it makes you so easy to spot. I am sure that without it you will be much easier to look like a woman. Think about it overnight and we can try to give you a whole new look tomorrow. I will not force you if you then think you would be spotted but I am certain that your Latino mother passed her genes on to you with that dark hair and wonderful complexion. Phil snorted and said “All I got from my father was the Irish love of a fight.”
They had a quick meal, during which there was a muffled explosion from a little way away. Phil asked what it was and Dani simply said “A kilo of C4 with a timer that I left in Rickys’ lap. It is far enough away the cops wouldn’t even think of coming here. If they do I will be able to send them on their way. Their chief is one of the guys I have danced with in a bar he would not want too many people to know he goes in to.” That night Phil shaved his top lip and looked in the mirror at the effeminate face that it had been hiding. The more he looked the more he thought that tomorrow may be more than interesting.

Chapter Two
They were woken early the next morning by a banging on the door. Phil was immediately in fight mode, crouched by the door with his gun in his hand. Dani walked past the door pulling a robe over her nightie and whispered “Settle down, I can deal with this.” As she got to the door she called out “Who’s there?”
A gruff mans’ voice said “Chief Jackson, are you all right Danielle?” She opened the door and stood there speaking to him for some minutes. He told her about a destroyed car with a body in it that would need DNA to identify. He asked if she had heard anything and she said “Only a bang last night. I thought it may have been an accident further up the road.” As Phil peered through the gap in the door he was amazed at her total control of her character. As he said goodbye the chief put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her towards him and they kissed. “I would love to stay and ravish you, sweetheart, but duty calls” he said with a smile as he left. Dani closed the door saying “In your dreams, you randy old sod” as she walked towards the kitchen.
“Come on out Phil” she commanded “It is time to start your transformation. Don’t bother getting dressed; you have nothing I haven’t seen in a mirror.” Phil put his gun on the bed and he followed her into the kitchen; feeling a bit underdressed in his boxers. She turned the kettle on and pulled out some bread, saying “Nothing heavy this morning; we will snack as we go through the day and, if everything works out, we will order in some pizza.”
That morning Phil was bathed and shaved with great care. He submitted to Danis’ ministrations with just a little bit of arousal until she got to his genitals. She said “Phil, this is the last time today I will use that name. We need to flatten you here but that will be impossible while you are aroused. After all the time I have known you have only known you as a totally heterosexual male. I am flattered that you have feelings towards me as a woman but, as far as I am concerned, this is just a step towards your new look.”
So saying, she took hold of his growing cock and then proceeded to give him a hand job like no other he had experienced, catching his cum in a wad of tissues. When his erection subsided he was shocked when she put a bag of frozen peas on his groin and felt everything retract. She got him to stand and step into a pair of panties that she called a gaff. She helped him to tuck his tackle away and when he looked down, all he saw was a flattish area which usually contained his manhood. She told him that these were special panties that he could keep on while he sat to pee or shit as they had the hole and slit in the right place. “You can even keep them on while you get your arse reamed” she said with a smile.
And so it went on. She glued a pair of false breasts to his chest, telling him that they came off easily with the removal cream. He was then fitted with his first bra. She commented that it was a good job they were close to each other in size. Next was a second pair of panties to match the bra; the panty-hose, a slip and a skirt and top combination from her wardrobe. Phil stayed quiet and obedient as all this happened. He was finding it fascinating how different the feel of the clothes on his smooth skin felt. They stopped for a mid-morning snack and Dani instructed him on how he should move, sit and even eat. As someone who had been good at disguises in the course of his work he made the effort to follow her direction and understand the different reasons for those directions.
After the snack she found a pair of shoes that she could adjust to fit him. They had a two inch heel which was no problem for him as he had been wearing built up shoes for years. Late morning saw him sat at the kitchen table while Dani worked on his face. She said “You are very lucky; your mother passed on some amazing genes when she had you. That skin of yours is great to work with and the slight Latino look will double you chance at getting away with this. I am jealous; it took me years to get as good as you look after just one morning.” He flinched a few times while she used tweezers on bits of hair he had missed and then went to work on his brows.”
The last part was quite soothing as she brushed his hair and styled it into a female look, keeping it in place with some spray. Finally she used make-up on him and then stepped back, saying “It is time for you to meet the true Nancy. Come and see” and pulled him into her bedroom and stood next to him as he looked at himself in her big mirror. “Who is that gorgeous girl?” whispered Nancy as she looked at herself “That’s not me, is it?”
Dani said “Sure is, Nancy. I must say that you do make a good looking woman. No-one would recognise you now. Come on, you go into the kitchen and practise walking and talking as a girl while I finally get a shower and put some clothes on. Then, instead of ordering pizza we will go and have a meal in a bistro not far away. It will not be easy for you but you are going to have to mix with normal people as Nancy as we get through the cordon.”
It was still within lunch serving when they arrived at the bistro. Nancy was worried but the only looks she got were appreciative, in fact, a couple of guys got interested in them and Dani took the lead in the chat with Nancy pretending to be shy. As they ate she relaxed as the guy who sat next to her had no idea that she was anything other than a woman and they did not have to pay for their meal. The two guys were sales representatives and had to get back to work and Nancy almost gagged when he saw Dani kiss the guy she had sat with. As her partner came towards her she closed her eyes in case she threw up and he took that as an invitation. Instead of a peck on the lips he gave her a full, red-blooded smooch that made her get butterflies in her stomach and she reciprocated by kissing him right back.
She was very quiet as they walked back to the garage, arm in arm. Dani let her be herself until they were sitting at the kitchen table with hot drinks in front of them. She put her hand on Nancys’ arm and said, quietly “It was a shock, wasn’t it? I didn’t know what I thought when a man kissed my cheek for the first time. That kiss you had today was worthy of a romantic movie. That guy will remember that kiss tonight when he goes home to his wife and she will wonder just what he had been doing all day but she won’t question anything, she will just hope he does it again as she feels him inside her.”
Nancy looked at her and whispered “I have never felt anything like it. I was prepared to hate it, I even considered the consequences should I pull my gun out of my purse and plug him on the spot. I just never had any idea that I would like it to the point that I actually felt that I was sorry he had to go. How did it come to this, am I a freak or have I always been queer and just did not know it?”
Dani squeezed Nancys’ arm and said, gently “Nancy, you always did have a strong feminine streak under that gruff attitude and the mo’. You know that you always liked the feel of silk and you always looked neat and tidy. It was one of the things that made you such a success in the killing trade; no-one could believe that you were anything but meek and mild and, dare I say it, defenceless. What you feel now is that side of you taking over for a while. We are now both defenceless women on our way to freedom, just like that movie.”
“What movie?” asked Nancy and she was given the quick precis of ‘Thelma and Louise’, a woman who bucked the control of her man and went on a road trip with her friend. “The main difference with us is that I doubt that we would drive our car off a cliff to avoid capture. We would end up in a gunfight and take a few with us” Dani said with a laugh. That afternoon they continued to make preparations, loading the Impala with the money bags and adding a suitcase each, stuffed with clothes that fitted them after a fashion show lasting some hours. Nancy had been introduced to almost every way a woman could look and Dani told her that she was one lucky girl to look good in just about everything she tried on.
They made a light meal and Nancy said “It’s a pity I can’t go and get my other stuff I had hidden away; it would give us a nice little nest-egg.” Dani nodded and said “Yeah, I have a bit at Jackies Storage which would be nice.” Nancy looked at Dani and laughed “No shit” she said “Mine is there as well. Look, it’s a twenty-four hour place, why don’t we just go and get our stuff?” So, as night fell, they dressed in dark clothes and took the Impala out, firstly parking it under the bright lights of a supermarket and then hot-wiring a car that was parked in the employee area.
They drove the stolen car to Jackies Storage and walked inside, their heels clicking on the concrete floor. They first opened Danis’ locker and she took out a small case and also a larger one with wheels. “I had this with a complete set of womens’ stuff already to go so it will add to our wardrobe” she said as they pulled down the roller door and locked it. At Nancys’ locker there was another bag with money she didn’t bother with the one that had Phils’ stuff in it. Nancy patted the guitar case she had used to carry the Mac10 and said that it was a pity they couldn’t take it for a bit of fire-power. Dani agreed that it would not look good if they were stopped.
Carrying their cases they loaded up the stolen car and took it back to the carpark where they parked it back into its original place and transferred their luggage to the trunk of the Impala. Back at the garage they undressed in the bedroom and Dani gave Nancy a nightie to wear. That night they snuggled together in the same bed but the only time Nancy felt aroused was when she thought about the kiss earlier in the day so forced herself to thing about all the nice clothes she had worn that afternoon. She drifted off to sleep imagining herself putting on a glittering evening dress and looking at her reflection in a mirror with her jewellery sparkling in the light.

Chapter Three
The next morning Dani went around the garage and the living quarters, placing small bundles of explosives and running all the wires to a timer. This was set for twenty hours later, when they would be a long way away. They had come to the conclusion that the police would think that they would make the break either directly north, over the border; or directly south to loop east and head for the big smoke.
“Go west, young ladies” sang Dani as they looked around to see that there was nothing left to identify them. All of Nancys’ old clothes and ID had been piled over a thermite pack with the wire going to the timer, along with all of Danis’ Dan papers. “I will be sorry when it’s time for that to blow” said Dani as she drove them west; “That place has been a real haven for me and a place I could be a woman. However, being a woman full-time with another one by my side will really be good, I think we may have a bit of fun on the way.”
When they did arrive at a road-block, she drove up to it and whispered “Smile, Nancy, we can do this.” She gave the officers a big smile and asked what the problem was. Being told that the police were looking for escaping gang members she said “Ooh, I hope we don’t meet any of them. I have heard that none of them wash more than once a week.” The police got her to open the trunk and only seeing cases one of them said “Well, there is nothing here big enough to hide a gang member. Of course, they could be there but chopped into little pieces” as he smiled.
Driving away from the road-block they put their arms out of the window and waved. Dani looked in the mirror as the bored policemen waved back. “That went well” she said. They carried on westward, stopping for lunch at a roadside diner and then for gas at a petrol station. Nancy was slowly getting used to acting womanly and using the correct toilet. That evening they were some hundreds of miles away from their old home and then stopped at a small town motel for the night. They had an evening meal in an Italian place and went back to their twin room for a good night sleep. Nancy thought about the day as she undressed and cleaned off her make-up. It had been interesting, she had been in full view the whole day and yet had been invisible, a strange feeling.
The next few days were similar, drive, eat, refuel, drive some more. They took their time and angled towards the south-west, aiming to end up in a sunnier place where their skills could be utilised by the casino owners, but only when they had made a place to be safe in. Eventually they came to an area where there were very few towns but a lot of trees and that was where the things took a turn. They were cruising along with Nancy driving when there was a siren sound behind them and the flashing lights of a Highway Patrol car. Nancy pulled over and felt under her seat for the gun she kept there.
Letting the window down, she saw a very fit officer who asked her where she was going and wanted to see her ID. She showed him the licence they had printed off back in the garage and said “Is there anything we can help you with, officer?” and he said “Yes, there is. Just follow us and stop for a while; and then we will let you carry on.” As they followed the cruiser Dani said “This is where we decide. We can shoot them both when they get to where they are going or we can do what they want and just put it down to experience. If we do the second, tell your guy that you are on the rag and let him give you one in the arse. You may enjoy it, seeing how much you like being Nancy.”
They followed the patrol car off the highway and into a clearing where they parked. When the patrolmen got out Dani looked at them and said “I think we will go down the sex route, they do look dishy.” So they got out of the car and smiled at the two guys and Nancy took one while the other went off to one side with Dani. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but it’s that time for me so I will just have to relieve you some other way” whispered Nancy into his ear after he had kissed her. He didn’t say much, just took her behind the patrol car and bent her over the trunk while putting his hand up her dress and pulling her panties down a bit.
Nancy felt totally helpless as he opened his fly and pulled out his dick, spat on his hands and wiped the end of it before probing for her butt-hole. It hurt her as he pushed into her but then she felt a wonderful feeling of being wanted and needed. He grunted as he reamed her and she straightened up so that he could caress her breasts, even though she really couldn’t feel anything. She let out a cry as he came in her and then he nuzzled her neck as he slowly softened. When he pulled out she felt as if something had been lost to her and she turned around to face him, put her hand behind his head and kissed him hard, When the parted she said “Thank you for that, officer, you can say that you have certainly done your duty today. I may look you up if I need to come this way again.”
He tidied himself and took her back to the Impala where Dani was also giving her guy a kiss as he zipped up. They stood and waved as the cruiser left the clearing and Dani said “So, how was it? You look as ravished as I feel.” Nancy smiled and said “Dani, dear friend, I have just had my first female orgasm and I liked it.” They spent a while changing panties and generally cleaning up before getting back into the Impala to get back on the highway. As they continued the journey they tuned into a country radio station and sang along with the tunes about love lost and love gained. That night they could only get a room with a double bed so snuggled up together and slept like a couple of babies.
Two days later they reached the coast and went due south; the sea on one side and rolling hills on the other. At a seaside village they stopped and sat on the beach with ice creams and soft drinks and took in the sun. They chatted about the future and Dani told Nancy about all the things she would need to do if she wanted to become a real woman. It did make Nancy flinch but they did have enough money to do it. While they sat a couple of guys came over and offered to take them for lunch. The girls looked at each other and then at the well-endowed guys in skimpy bathers and joined them for two meals, one in the café and the other in the guys’ room where Nancy gave her first blow-job and swallowed the lot.
Back on the road it was becoming clear that Nancy had become a convert to sex in the many ways she had never experienced it in her earlier life and Dani told her about some of the funny situations she had been in. The road followed the seaside for a while and then started to rise as they came up to some hills. Nancy, being a city girl, was fascinated by the giant waves and the guys surfing and was fast becoming a lover of the sea with all its glory.
The hills got higher and then followed along a cliff edge at a safe distance. There were signs that warned of dangerous cliffs but Dani saw a place they could pull over and look out to the sea for a while. She stopped the Impala near the edge and they both got out, gazing at the sight. Ahead of them it was just the rolling waves and either side they could see the cliffs with the breakers pounding at the base of them. “Must be near high tide” said Dani as she looked down. As the gulls circled near them Nancy moved near her and said it was wonderful and a sight she had never seen in the big city. “Thank you for bringing me here and stopping “she said “it is a perfect place.”
“Perfect for what” asked Dani as she looked out over the ocean. “Perfect for learning to fly” said Nancy as she gave Dani a strong push in the back, sending her out and over the edge. When the scream of profanities faded Nancy went and sat on the wing of the Impala, looking out over the ocean and thinking about her future. She had the car, several cases of clothes and some stuffed with money. She was certain that she would eventually become a proper woman and would call herself the ‘Black Widow’ or something else that fitted a female killer. She had no remorse of pushing Dani off the cliff, just a sadness that she would miss the chatter they had enjoyed.
She sat for a while and just enjoyed the feel of the wind making her skirt flutter and thinking back on the guys she had been with recently. They were very much on her mind and it gave her a slight pain in the groin as her penis got a little aroused. As she looked out she saw that there were a group of quite larger waves coming towards the coast. They had heard on the radio about an earthquake some way away and it had not made any impact on their chatter.
As she watched the first one became a proper surfing wave and it crashed against the cliff with a huge bang. The spray came up over the cliff edge and she was instantly damp as well as instantly filled with life. With the second and third wave crashing against the cliff she put her arms up and shouted to the world. “I am Nancy” she shouted. “I am woman and I am rich!” Every wave seemed to empower her. She was intoxicated by the raw power of nature that she felt was filling her with strength and purpose.
As the last big wave crashed against the cliff and soaked her she shouted “For the first time in my life, I am truly alive!” as she heard a cracking sound and her world, along with 150 yards of cliff edge, fell away, taking her, the Impala and all of the money with it. The gulls came back after the commotion and drifted about along a new stretch of coastline that had just a flash of red poking out from the rocks at the base of the new cliff.
