Chapter 5 - A Familiar Car

"I think I'm all good to go." I had finished getting ready for my first day at work along with equipping my Enforcer Uniform. The outfit is completely black with only a dark red outline around the collar going halfway down to the chest area. The leggings were a special fabric made from a new material called Fiterian, they aren't super tight thankfully and they were very flexible and also a durable material. Finally, my dark blue bar rested above the right side of my chest displaying my status and rank as an Enforcer. I'm an Enforcer P-1, meaning that I had the highest standard level for an Enforcer. The rank system for the Enforcers is mixed between military terms and police terms back when the Earth hadn't been united under one empire.

The rank system goes like this:

Cadet-the lowest level and people who are still in training

Recruit-Level 3

Recruit-Level 2

Recruit-Level 1

Enforcer-P3

Enforcer-P2

Enforcer-P1

Supervisor-(optional rank-can go to Sergeant)

Sergeant-Grade 2

Sergeant-Grade 1

Lieutenant-Grade 2

Lieutenant-Grade 1

Imperial Captain-Grade 3

Imperial Captain-Grade 2

Imperial Capt-Officer-Grade 1

Sector Commander

Assistant Chief

Chief of Enforcer's

Overlord-Assumed to be Emperor's title

The emperor had made it so the highest position someone could get besides Assistant Chief and above was Sector Commander, so nobody could gain major power. He designed it so the two people he put in place at the top were under his direct control and forced the Sector's Commanders in a position where they had no other authority over each other's Sector's. It was a genius tactic that both helped his political authority and stabilized the powers of Sector Commanders.

There is also the detective branch that is optional after becoming an Enforcer P1, but the highest position for detectives: Detective-Grade 1 had the equivalent power to a Lieutenant-Grade 2. This meant that you were unable to advance any further and not to mention that 4 grade's to go through, meaning it would take you longer to advance through the ranks if you were trying to. My goal is to reach Lieutenant-Grade 2, where I would be content with my goals. However, for whatever reason I didn't want just that, I wanted to rise further, I want to be at least a Sector Commander.

"..."

What am I thinking? I always wanted to be just a Lieutenant-Grade 2, but now I want more, I guess a screw went loose in my head because I decided that I'm going to follow this thinking even though I don't know why. It just felt right.

I left my room and headed down the hall which led to an elevator that took me to the parking garage. I ran into a couple of neighbors who wished me a good morning while rushing or walking to work. I had to say that the apartment complex I lived in was a great place and it seemed that the majority of people who lived here were nice people. Since I had no idea what vehicle belonged to me I activated my tracker, which lit up in my mind and guided me to my car. As soon as I almost couldn't believe my eyes.

The car presented in front of me is my dream car, the Celeste-A5 made by Star Technologies. The company took after Lamborghini, an old pre-empire company, and incorporated its designs into modern cars. The car was dark blue, with black rims and slightly tinted windows. It wasn't tinted enough at the front to be pulled over either making it perfect. I just stood there blankly admiring the beautiful car for a couple minutes before I excitedly unlocked the car and the driver side door pulled up allowing me to enter.

I jumped in and my eyes wandered all over the vehicle trying to admire its beauty. I rubbed my hand along the steering wheel, there was going to be no auto-piloting today. After my initial excitement wore down I began to think how I got my hands on this car. The Enforcers paid well, but not enough to purchase a car like this. I had a strong feeling that my aunts must have bought this car for me as a gift or something. That also meant they probably spoiled me more than I already had when I was a male. I shivered at the thought of how they would act towards me being a girl, I brushed that thought away though as I needed to head to work. I turned on the vehicle and drove out of the parking garage onto the busy street and I was soon off to work.

I soon spotted the giant Enforcer building for sector 15 when I got onto the expressway. There was a giant dome-shaped building in the center and it branched off to 4 different 60 story tall buildings. It's certainly an interesting sight to see every day amidst the numerous skyscrapers in Terminia.

I arrived at work 10 minutes earlier and parked my car in the Enforcer Parking area. After scanning myself in with my dark blue bar above my uniform I headed towards the dome building where my station was located. Thankfully, everything except the apartment I lived in was the same so I didn't have any problems at finding my work station. When I was about to enter the room I heard a familiar voice coming up on my right, "Morning Macy, are you doing well today?"

I whipped around to face Frank who's features had matured a couple years coming out of high school, I wasn't exactly sure how I acted before, judging from the things this body was interested in I could only hope we had similar personalities. "Good morning Frank, I'm doing well, how about you?"

Ba-dump

"Eh, I'm doing alright, had some trouble sleeping last night, but I'm fine."

"Oh, sorry to hear that hopefully, you'll feel better."

Ba-dump

Frank's eyes widened at me, which made me grow a bit nervous, "thanks Macy, you seem really positive today, something good happened today or last night?"

"No, I guess I'm just in a good mood today." I flashed him a smile to quell his reaction.

"Well, that's nice that you're in a good mood for our patrol today."

"Oh, yeah I'm going to check in real quick and we can head out," I replied.

"Great, see ya in a bit, Macy." He followed me into the room and went to his station likely checking the system for any new criminals to watch out for.

Ba-dump. What am I feeling right now? I had been ignoring it during our conversation so it didn't get in my way, but I could feel my heartbeat rising when I was talking to Frank. I mean he was pretty handsome back even in high school, and he's only gotten better looking now that he's more mature and that will only continue as we work here.

Wait… oh god. I'm attracted to Frank because of me becoming a girl. Man, I feel weird, I was hoping that due to me still thinking like a male that somehow I'd be attracted to women, however, I should have known that life doesn't work like that. I'm still not exactly sure whether I wanted to get involved with relationships especially when I just became a girl. Not to mention I still want to try and become a male again, meaning that getting involved with relationships now would put me in an awful spot in the future when the time comes.

Would I even get to become the real me again or will I be trapped in this body forever?" I shivered at the thought and brushed that negative thinking away before I made it worse.

After sorting out everything at the station Frank and I made our way to the Vehicle bay where we got in the patrol car and drove away from the Enforcer building. The whole time my heart rate had been rising, but after talking with Frank for a while it seemed to cool a little and I was able to relax. "I don't know what to feel," I internally repeated to myself for probably the 1000th time.

It's odd because my body feels sexually attracted to him, and it seems to be affecting my thoughts as well. I'm sure if these lingering thoughts and feelings from the other person who occupied this body or if it was just this body influencing my thoughts. I knew that I'd have to be careful though as my body along with its emotions could heavily influence my thought process and I wouldn't even recognize it because it would feel 'normal.'

I shut my stupid monologue down again, what happened to not thinking about negative things?

"Hey, Macy it looks like we got ourselves a speeder," Frank called out to me as I was staring out the window. I turned towards the speed tracker that clocked some guy going way over the speed limit.

"Man it's like these guys think they own the roads," I grumbled irritably. Frank laughed and his voice made my stupid body react again. He flipped on the lights and followed behind the guy, signaling him to pull over.

I was lazily looking at the car when I realized it looked familiar. I blinked and studied the car again in surprise, it was undoubtedly the same car that I chased that man down in, the same car that led me to this new reality.
