A Clever Switch
Caption #575
Neil Hitcham had started his day looking forward to the formal announcement of his promotion to partner in the law firm he worked at. By day's end he was in the body of secretary Suzy Wilson, he was drunk, he was married to Peter Wilson and he was on the way home to Suzy's life!
Suzy had watched her old body be guided from the function in a state of confusion. Neil had been the perfect target she mused. First off he about to be made partner which meant a big salary and lots of perks. Second he was single and therefore Suzy wouldn't have to be saddled with a family straight away. Third he was already pretty well off financially and lived an oppulent lifestyle. Stealing his body had gone so smoothly she was almost disbeleiving. That afternoon as she handed him the specially enhanced coffee. She knew he'd down it before wondering why Suzy Wilson had taken the time to even get him a hot drink, it wasn't like she was his secretary or that they had any close friendship. Five minutes later and the potion did its trick and Suzy began to feel feint, she quickly made her way back to Neil's office and locked the door behind her. Neil was looking a little ill but still had time to ask what Suzy was doing here. Suzy knowing the same feeling because she had taken her drink of the potion had time to say "wait and see" to Neil as they both passed out.
Neil had woken first but he was on the other side of the room. And he could see himself stirring behind his desk, which was weird. Of course as his head cleared the situation became obvious and he ran and shook his old body awake. A quick glance around was followed by a broad smile on the body of Neil Hitcham. Suzy had been successful. There was her old body staring down at her with a look of panic and amazement on its face.
With sudden confidence and sharp mind Suzy began telling the new Suzy that she had waited patiently for this moment and now it had come. Neil tried to fire question after question at his old body but couldn't quite find the words. He was totally at a loss as to how things had happened when Suzy rose from the desk, walked to the door, unlocked it and opened it.
"Thankyou Suzy" Neil's body said. "I hope you'll come to the celebration in the meeting room after work."
"I'm Neil!" Neil hissed in Suzy's female voice.
"Well Suzy maybe you should go try telling someone that, I'm sure you'll be able to convince someone." Suzy used Neil's voice with authority.
"I'll get you Suzy Wilson, this isn't the end of this!" Neil said.
"Well good luck, now if you'll excuse me I have some memo's to get done thanking everyone for their assistance." Suzy added as she motioned the woman before her to exit the office.
Neil reluctanly exited the office and wandered almost in a daze down the corridors to the workstation Suzy normally sat at. Another girl was talking to him as he sat at Suzy's desk but Neil was in a fog. How could this be happening? In fact he barely acknowledged anyone for the next hour till it was knock off time. The only person he responded to was Ms. Fulton who asked if Suzy had completed typing up her reports. Neil's blank look and response of no sent her off in a huff. As everyone packed up they almost had to drag Neil to the after work party to celebrate his old bodies promotion.
