"Believe me now, Robert?" Samuel asked as he stood with his hands on womanly hips.

"Of course I do now!" Samuel said, still surprised at what he was seeing. "That necklace, is that where they did it?"

"No, it was right at where my head meets my neck. How they hid where what's left of me ends and her body begins I'll never quite understand, but I don't need to. The point is it works."

"And this was your choice? I didn't figure you for wanting to be a woman."

"Neither did I, but here I am. I must say I do enjoy it. I didn't hurt I got a good body."

"And, dare I ask, how did you manage that?"

Samuel looked at Robert and smiled.

"Oh, we have our ways. I must add legal ways. Do not think, no, we do nothing dark or lurid with this. It does mean, though, that it is a bit of a luck of the draw on when a body that meets a client's expectations comes around. It is not like we can seek them out."

"Good, good. I am guessing that you're not here to just show off, though I would not fault you if you were."

"Of course not." Samuel said with a smile. "Our operation is growing rapidly and we need investors. A couple of million should do nicely. If it's five million, we decided to do something interesting."

"Oh?"

"A free surgery. Can be for them or someone they know. Interested?"

"I do need to diversify my investments, and as well, i would be nice to be younger, stronger... yes, say seven million."

"I thought you may be interested. Seven is a generous sum. Why don't we discuss all the details over dinner tonight?"

"Dinner? Yes, dinner would be nice."

"Perfect. We can discuss your investment and the perks that come with it. I can't wait."
