money you were talking about?”
he asked.
    “You aren't being a pain. You
told me right off that money would be important. It's only logical
that you be concerned with it. We should receive the money in about
ten days, as I said yesterday.”
    “I'm sorry, I must've missed
that. I was a little distracted.”
    “I know, I planned it that way.
But if you are concerned about money, don't you have the last
paycheck from your old job that you can pick up today? Also, Greta
said she had money, if you ask her for some, I'm sure she won't
mind,” Kelly said.
    “How do you remember all this
stuff? How do you keep track of it?”
    “The mind of a Shoggoth is
compartmentalized. In order to remember everything about the
different forms we can take our memory is both large and highly
accurate.”
    “Well, I'm kind of ashamed to
show my face at my job, since I just disappeared and everything, but
I suppose I can show up. I've got a check for two weeks work due.
That should hold us for ten days, especially without having to set
any aside for rent.”
    “You should go and pick it up
then.”
    “Want to come with me? If they
see you, they'll understand why I just disappeared.”
    Greta's voice carried out from the
bedroom.
    “Why don't we both go with him
Kelly? Give those muscular guys down at the lumberyard something to
look at. Maybe sneak a few peeks ourselves.”
    “I can see you have something
else in mind Jacob,” Kelly said. “What, exactly, are you
thinking? I can sense most of it, but not all of it.”
    Jacob chewed on his lip for a moment.
    “Well, remember I told you about
those guys hassling me?”
    Kelly nodded and he continued.
    “One of them works down at the
yard. He ought to be on shift right now. I thought I'd make sure he
got a look at you, kind of rub it in.”
    “That isn't what I saw in your
mind. At least, not all of it,” Kelly said.
    “The guy's a real dick. If he
sees you with me, he'll come over and try to get you away from me. I
figured if he was still being that much of an asshole, maybe you
could Change him and we could teach him a lesson?”
    “That fills out the parts I
wasn't seeing in your mind. Yes, I'd be glad to do that. Especially
if you intend to follow through on the ideas we were discussing about
him earlier on. I want to be present for that, it promises to be a
truly perverse experience.”
    “I want to go too,” Greta
said. “What's this about Changing the guy? And something about
it being perverse?”
    Kelly took a moment to explain to her
the previous conversation she and Jacob had about the guys that were
harassing him. Greta laughed out loud when Kelly got to her idea
about forcing him to speak his thoughts after he was changed.
    “I definitely want to be around
for that. So, can we both go?” Greta asked.
    “Perform your surface change, go
down to your apartment and ensure that nothing needs your attention.
Then come back here and we will all go together,” Kelly said.
    She turned to Jacob.
    “Assuming that's okay with you,”
she said.
    “Yeah, like I'm going to complain
about having two beautiful girls with me instead of just one. It's
fine with me. I'd love you have you along Greta, you're a lot of fun.
But I'll be stopping at the bank also since I need to cash my check.
I was going to hit the grocery store as well, but I can do that
later.”
    “That sounds good actually. I'm a
lot hungrier in this younger form and don't have a lot of food in my
apartment. Plus I'm craving foods that I haven't eaten in years, so a
stop at the store would be great,” Greta said.
    “Greta,” Kelly said, “or
should I say, Mrs. Shaw?”
    Greta sighed.
    “Fine. Jacob, if you would leave
the room? I don't want you to see me like that.”
    She turned to Kelly.
    “I need my clothes from the empty
apartment across the hall. I left them there yesterday when I
finished changing. The only things I have here are this mini-skirt
and tank-top. Somehow I don't think they'd look as good
