You really need to read part I to get the setting here. This story is going to have a bit more involved setting and plot than some you'll see her-to some it may seem slow moving.
=============
Work in the re-education camp was, well hard. The camp has some basic industries that supported "The City". There were "Education" Sessions both morning and night-that dealt largely with explaination of the evils of the old regime-and how the New Order, had brought justice to the racist society that had previously run new York. Now, the fact that what luxuries existed at the camp were served immediate after re-education sessions assured good attendence.
It took Sheryl a while to figure out how to volenteer for expatriation. The Expatriation Attendent was, reminded Sheryl of Betsie, but was rather more articulate.
"So, you want to volenteer for expatriation. I see no history of religious affiliation in your chart--that will somewhat limit who you might be paired with.. Now, do you understand that all communications leading to your expatriation will be monitored? Do you understand that you are to refrain from any and all political discussions? "
Sheryl nodded timidly.
"Okay, you are granted 1 hour time in the relocation center, 3 days per week. This privilege will be revoked if there is any report of problems from your supervising matron goodbye."
Well, that as easy Sheryl thought. Now, what?
Sheryl had her rather little about the Free Republic of Alaska. Since she was in the re-location camp, there wasn't any access to radio or TV except from "Official Sources"-which meant religious programming in large part.
God Sheryl missed her old job, the resturants, talking with her friends. Here? Well, the days were long and opportunities for talk were limited. Matrons were, well everywhere--and even where they weren't, well, it was a little scary to Sheryl how many women much like those she had known had come to really identify with the Matrons.
Flashback Sheryl thought back to the first time she had sex with Gerald. She was fresh out of Smith College and had been offered a job at a brokerage in New York. She'd had a steady boyfriend in high school-and another in college. Both had been accomplished and athletic. Gerald, well, he was different. Swarthy, polished, smooth, suave-a partner in his New York brokerage. This was everything she had dreamed of. Her first weeks in New York struck her has much like college-lots of socializing with other women--except there were a lot more gay men around, and well, they were _just about_ like women.
Gerald, well, _he_ seemed different. those piercing black eyes, the wavey black hair. She'd been at the office for a couple months and didn't think he'd notice her. She'd _tried_ to get him to notice her-doing things she was surprised at. She even went to work one day with no panties and flashed him.
