This is the next chapter of the book that was started here:
Chapter Seven
Jackie was shocked at the suggestion that she pose bottomless.
“That’s impossible,” she said. “My husband would kill me if he found out I posed bottomless, even if it was for a good cause like to get to another dimension to find my baby.”
“But your husband doesn’t need to know,” said Dan, the photographer. “Show her the hippopotamus head, Jill.”
An assistant brought out an enormous mask of a hippopotamus head, with a big snout sticking out.
Jackie still looked hesitant.
“It’s the only way, Jackie,” said Dan. “I know you were able to get here posing topless. But to get back, you need to profile the interdimensional flux with more of a stimulus.”
“The interdimensional flux, huh,” said Jackie.
