The Wigamalefis part 15:
Headquarters   
A No More Fakes Story
(Wednesday, January 15)

	The station brought back too many memories of the day after
Halloween.  The first day I was a wigamalefis.  A real wigamalefis.  Well,
I think that's the first time.  I can never remember who I am really
supposed to be:  Will or Wiggy.

	Sandy was in another room.  I could see her through the large
glass windows.  She was being asked questions by an officer.

	"Mr. Harryman, do you know why we brought you here?" the chief
asked me.  He sat down in his comfortable chair behind his desk.

	I took out my trusty pad of paper and wrote, "Something to do with
Kerry."

	The chief nodded.  "Good.  That's exactly why you are here."  He
leaned forward.  "Would you rather me call you something besides Mr.
Harryman?"

	I nodded.  I didn't like being called Mr. Harryman.  Even when it
was my name.  I glanced at the note I made for myself that Dr. Meyer told
me to do.  It said, "You are Wiggy."  I wrote "Wiggy" on my pad and showed
the chief.

	"Oh, OK, Wiggy," he looked confused he must know me by Will.  "You
can call me Jim."

	I'm going to have to get everyone straightened out about that.
Maybe if everyone called me Wiggy, I would know who I was.  Maybe Wiggy
would actually surface.    No telling where my consciousness came from or
where Wiggy's went.

	"Wiggy, what do you know about Jerry.  I mean Kerry?"

	I jotted down that he broke into my house and accidentally shot
himself with a project I was working on and turned himself partially into
a wigamalefis.  Then he came back later and turned into some strange
creature.

	Jim nodded.  "I see.  That's just what Kerry said."

	I was shocked.  Kerry was able to say something.  I guess my
confusion was obvious to Jim.

	"We found someone who was the Raucous Chicken as a wizard.  He was
able to change him back," Jim explained.

	I nodded.  That strange feeling came again.

	"Wiggy, what we really want to know is why you built the machine
that did that to Kerry."

	I wrote down on my pad about how I needed to change back into a
human so Will would have his body back.  I glanced down and saw the note I
had made for myself.  It said that I was Wiggy.  I knew it said that I was
Will just a while ago.  This must be what the Doctor was talking about.  I
made a mental note to check the paper more often.  Well, at least I knew
that I was myself.  I quickly scratched out what I had written for Jim and
put down that I had thought that until Dr. Meyer told me who I really was.

	"I see," he said doubtfully.  "But, Jerry, I mean Kerry wasn't a
human.  He was some.... thing."

	I let out a grunt as I nodded.  I wrote down, "I don't know what
happened.  Project F wasn't finished yet."

	"Well, it won't be finished in a while," Jim said.  "We
confiscated it."

	I jumped up from the chair.  "That was MY project!  You have no
right!" I growled in Wigamalefish.

	Of course, Jim couldn't understand a word I was saying.  "Calm
down, Wiggy.  You can get it back once we decide that it isn't a safety
risk."

	I sat back down in my chair still grumbling.  It was a good thing
that the chief couldn't understand what I was saying.

	Jim glanced down at some papers at his desk, "Now, where did
you--"

	A police officer burst into the office. "Chief!  There's a
situation!" he said.  Suddenly he fell to all fours.  His skin turned
orange as his body reformed.  A creature similar to what Kerry turned into
was in the officer's place.  Except that his teeth weren't sharp and he
didn't have large claws on his feet.  The creature looked around confused
and ran off with the police uniform still hanging off his body.

	Jim jumped up and closed the door.  I fell to the floor.  Jim
peered up out the large window.  Kerry was standing there with Project F.
He pointed the device threateningly at all the other people in the outer
office.

	"No one does anything!  Got it?" Kerry said.  He looked at the
orange creature that was formerly the officer.  "I just want to live my
life as one of those creature.  But, everyone just keeps ruling my life!
Just leave me alone, people!"

	"Sir, calm down," one of the officers said.

	Kerry's face twisted angrily.  "See there you go.  Telling me what
to do.  What if I don't want to calm down?"  He pointed Project F at the
man threateningly.  The man backed up against the wall.

	Kerry slowly edged his way through the room heading for the front
doors.  As he passed the window of the chief's office, he glanced in.  He
saw me.  "You!" he shouted.  He slung the door open and rushed in.  He
kept the device ready to shoot and grabbed my arm.  "I want you to zap me
with this," he said.

	I looked questioningly at him.

	He spoke slowly, "I want you to zap me.  I want to be that
creature or something.  I don't want to be human anymore."

	Jim was next to his desk, "Sir, if you would--"

	Kerry swung the device to aim at Jim.  "Shut up!  I don't want to
be a part of this miserable species any longer!  Now, zap me."  He shoved
Project F into my arms.

	I stood there with my project in my hands.  Kerry backed up.  "Zap
me!" he yelled.

	I just stood there.  Police were instantly on top of him carrying
him back to the cell.

	"ZAP ME!" he screamed as he struggled with the officers.

	He really wanted to be that creature.  But, he had attacked me the
last time.  However, the officer he zapped wasn't the same type of
creature.  He seemed gentle.

	"ZAP ME!"

	I watched Kerry get taken out of the office.  He continued to
struggle.  Police were holding him tight.

	"ZAP ME!  WIGGY!  PLEASE!"

	He stared at me with his pleading eyes.  He had stopped struggling
enough for most of the officers to break off.  He was being lead down the
hall.

	I zapped him and lowered the device.  I walked back into the
office and plopped down in my chair.

	"Why did you zap him?" Jim said running back into his office after
watching Kerry's transformation.

	I picked up my pad and wrote, "Just leave him alone.  Let him live
his life as whatever he is now."  I handed the paper to Jim.

	"Will, you're all right!" Sandy yelled running into to office and
giving me a huge hug.  "I was so scared."

	I grunted an exhausted grunt.  She hugged me tighter.  I heard a
yip/hiss.  I looked down and saw a similar creature that the officer had
become sitting on its haunches staring at me.  It had the remains of
Kerry's clothes.

	I pointed him out to Sandy.  She gasped and then walked over to
Kerry with her hand held out.  He licked her hand.

	"He's sorta cute," she said.  "In a strange creature kind of way."
