She introduces herself

"Hi, I'm Peggy Carter," Peggy said. "I'm here to get you out."

The two women just laughed. "No, seriously," they said. "Who are you?"

"I work for the er -- government."

"The government," the older one said with a snort. "I've been here three days and the government hasn't done nothing. In fact, my friend here has been here far longer and the government hasn't done anything to help her either."

"And yet you two aren't like the other women," Peggy said. "How do you do it?"

"It ain't easy," said the older woman. "It helps if you avoid the tea. They put something in it. Plus she and I used to do some acting back in college. That helps. But it's not enough, you know. I still miss my dress. I still miss my bra. Heck, I still miss my underpants and I wasn't particularly fond of them before I joined this thing."

"Then why did you join?"

"****. All the women in our sorority were joining. My stepmom insisted that I join too. If I didn't join, she was going to cut off my trust fund. At first I did not know why she was pushing me so hard to join. In fact, I remember actually welcoming the opportunity to get away from her. I know better now. You would think a governor's daughter would at least get some special privileges around here but the only special treatment I usually get is when they take my picture every so often. Usually when I'm taking a bath."

Peggy flushed. Had they taken her picture too when she was in the tub? If so, how many photos did they take? And who had them? And what were they doing to do with them? An--

"Wait," said Peggy. "You're the daughter of a governor?"

The two women grinned.

"Nothing gets by you, sister," said the younger woman. "Yes, she's a governor's daughter and I'm a senator's niece. You'd be surprised how many women around here are related by blood or marriage to VIPs."

She glanced at Peggy's torso. "I can tell by your face and your tan lines that you haven't been here too long yourself. Which is a good thing -- Wait. They're coming back."

The redhead and the other women had returned. "Glad to see you're still here, newest sister," said the redhead.

(Where else would I be? thought Peggy.)

The redhead continued. "The founder wants to see you. In fact, he wants to talk to you personally. "

"Me?" asked Peggy.

"Yes," said the redhead. "Apparently he wants to ask you something really important."
