Why the fuck would two dudes sit while taking a piss? Even if they wanted privacy, they could have gone into the stall and closed the door, but they’d be standing. Their feet were outward, and there was no doubt they were seated in the stalls.
Bull tried to make his own visit last a bit, washing his hands several times before finally seeing the faces of the two men in the stalls.
What struck him most were the soft features of their faces. They weren’t angular, or jutting, like most male athletes. Instead, their faces had a definitive feminine appearance, their lips full, lashes long and cheeks soft.
“Having a good workout fellas?” asked Bull.
“Oh, yeah,” said one of the men staring at him. His voice was soft, quiet as if whispering. “How about you? You’re one of the new trainers, right?”
“That’s right. Did you need some help with something?” he asked.
“Uh, I…”
“Ken? Butch said we only ask him questions. Come on,” said the other man. The two left the bathroom and Bull followed, standing next to Rory.
“What’s up?”
“I’m not sure but there is definitely something fucked up here. Those two guys over there were just in the bathroom with me. They both took stalls. Both sitting. To piss.”
“Some guys do that,” said Rory shrugging.
“No, dude. It’s more than that,” said Bull.
“He’s right,”said AJ.“Suzette and Riley think the injections they’re giving are transforming genders. They don’t know how it’s happening but they believe some of the men, and some of the women, are changing into the opposite gender. Not all. But some.”
“How do we know?” whispered Rory.
“I can help,” said Tony. “Remember, I can be a ghost when I need to be.”
“Alright,” nodded Bull. “Just be careful.”
“Dude,” he laughed, “how many times do we have to say this. We’re already dead. They can’t harm us.”
Tony walked away, disappearing into the men’s room. A few moments later, one of the men who had been in there with Bull headed back toward the door.
“I can’t find my phone,” he said excitedly. “I just had it!”
“Relax. It’s probably in the stall you were in,” said his partner.
“We need to talk to Butch. I’m having to piss every twenty minutes. I can’t keep up with this.” He stepped inside the bathroom and was inside for several minutes before emerging. Rory and Bull waited patiently for Tony to appear, then jumped a mile.
“You guys waiting for me?” he smirked.
“Fuck!” muttered Rory. “You can’t just pop out at us like that. We’re fucking old. You’ll give us a heart attack.”
“No, I won’t,” he grinned. “I’m no expert but either that is a man turning into a woman, or woman turning into a man. He was massaging his breasts in the stall and when he finished his business, he stood and wiped like a woman. I couldn’t even see a penis and grosses me out that I was looking for one.”
“Had to be done brother and we appreciate it. Have you seen Carter today?” asked Bull.
“No, in fact I haven’t,” said Rory looking around. “We need to find him and his mother.”
“Tell me you adore me,” said Archie smiling at the two men.
“Dude, I like you and all but adore is a bit much,” frowned Rory.
“Well, you’re going to adore me. I put a tracking device in his backpack the other day. The guys should be able to give you a location for him.”
“Finish up here. We’re going to find that kid,” said Rory.
