The incident with the person that Mitchell had insisted was a phony cop on Sunday had left her with a creepy feeling. She knew she had the natural gifts to pass as a boy or a girl. Maddie was undeniably more comfortable in what she considered her true nature, that of a girl with "something" extra. She was convinced that the cop was dangerous and wouldn't hesitate to harm her. An arrest for being dressed in the clothing of the opposite sex as a distinct and unpleasant possibility. Most cops aroudn the district wouldn't harass a femme boy even if he was in full girl gear.
