Jim was led by the thugs into an underground hideout, where the thugs resided and devised their devious plans. As Jim went into the hideout, he noticed that there was another door that opened into a prisoner's room, which actually looked more like a high-tech mad scientist's laboratory. A old, feebled man was feverishly working on some experiment.
"Sit down, kid, and let me introduce ya to the old man." said Vinnie, and gestured the thugs to force Jim onto the hard chair in the room.
Two of the thugs brought the old man to Vinnie. The old man looked at Vinnie and said, "What do you want now, you despicable scum!"
"Please, Alfie, after all we've been through togetha?" said Vinnie. He then turned to Jim and said, "Kid, dis here is Alfred Woerner, but I call him Alfie. Me and da boys picked him up because he's one of them mad scientists."
"I'm not a mad scientist; I'm a genius compared to you!" snorted the old man.
"Shaddup, Alfie!" yelled Vinnie. "Anyways, Alfie had been working on a top-secret project involving body-switching; you know, trading places with someone? Anyways, dis is my idea....them dames who you read in the newspaper....they can go anywhere they want to with them gems cause they owns them, right?"
Jim nodded, "Yeah, that's true."
Vinnie said, "And you know that since these beauties are worth somethin', a lot of cops and security bigshots will be guarding the diamonds, and da chicks, very closely, right?
Vinnie then made a twisted grin, "So, how does mobsters like us get our fingers on these gems? Easy; we become da dames; we take their bodies, have fun with them, take the gems and split!"
Jim was shocked at what Vinnie has just said. "Mr. Cabello, you've got to be joking...body-switching is still not even perfected yet."
"It hasn't until now...when I got Alfie here to help me with this little assignment," said Vinnie as he took Alfie by the cheeks and shook them with his hands.
"It's da perfect plan, kid! I mean, we would be replacing six babes, right? And there are six of us boys, not including you, kid," said Vinnie. "Me, Bernie, Butch, Rocko, Shorty, and Louie are the only ones."
"Duh, boss," blurted out the low voice of one of the thugs, a huge man that looked like a wrestler, "you never said anythin' about being a chick to me."
"Well, Butch," said Vinnie, "that's because you're too stupid that you would rat the plan out to the cops!"
"Oh," said Butch.
"But I still don't understand," said Jim. "What does this plan have to do with me?"
"Kid, I'm glad you asked that. You see, in the article, they said that a personal bodyguard will protect both the babes and the gems from people like us. The only catch is that no one knows who the bodyguard will be. The bigshots down at this show hired someone but they never met him. You will be that bodyguard," replied Vinnie.
"Ok, enough with this crap! Alfie, I hope you got dat teleportation machine fixed."
"Yes, Mr. Cabello, sir. I got it to work."
"Good boy, Alfie. Boys, let's go and make ourselfs the bitchiest and meanest babes we can be!"
With that, Vinnie, Jim, Alfie, and and the other thugs went into the door into the science lab.
