This second story about Club Pericol is longer than the first. It will be published in two parts, chapters 2 and 3. This chapter is just the set up for the story, and may not meet some reader's expected level of "activity." It does set up the next installment, which will be available very soon. Just didn't want anyone to be disappointed by the lack of action without being warned.

Anton was very interested. Business was booming and he needed girls for his resort in the Carpathians. Carly had been immensely popular since she started a month ago, and he was looking for more American slaves. His source at the University told him about three girls, all just 19 years old, from the state of Utah, which was located in the western part of the US. They had played soccer for the University in the fall, recruited through the foreign exchange student program. They were talented athletes and fine physical specimens, and had helped the University's team to great success in the fall league.
But what got Anton's attention was the submissive tendencies that the girls themselves probably didn't recognize. They had been convinced to come to Bucharest by their US club soccer coach, who had been paid a small sum to convince them that playing in Romania was better than playing for a college team in the US. They had been excellent team players, taking direction and reprimand from the coach without question. Finally, they had a sheltered upbringing in a conservative part of the US, and had recently been revolting by attending campus parties together since soccer season had ended. Early reports pointed toward the type of girl Anton targeted in his business plan.
The girls would be returning home in a little over two months, once their second semester of school ended, so time was of the essence. Convincing one girl to attend the club and sign an indentured servitude contract was a challenge. Pulling off the feat with three friends would be a real coup. Anton would have to rely on his best recruiter to pull this one off.

Petra got word that business was booming and more girls were needed. She was given the names of three American friends. "Are they crazy?" Petra said to herself, as she read the anonymous email. She didn't know exactly who she worked for, but she always got paid. That was all she cared about. She hadn't even been to the club, and didn't know exactly how the girls were acquired there. But she knew enough to entrap her prey. She read for the details on her assigned targets...
Brittin Danner, 5-foot 9-inches, 142 pounds, long blonde hair, C cup breasts, studying European culture and languages, 2.6 GPA, the self imposed leader of the three friends, outgoing, strong, athletic, has one younger sister
Paige Hunter, 5-foot 7-inches, 134 pounds, long light brown hair, B cup breasts, studying sociology, 4.0 GPA, introvert, smartest girl of the three friends, not as athletic but uses her intelligence to make up for it, very religious, tends to follow the lead of her friends, middle child with two brothers
Cami Blake, 5-foot 5-inches, 119 pounds, short dark hair, C cup breasts, studying political science, 2.6 GPA, petite body, tomboy personality, very adventurous, risk taker, has been instrumental in the trio attending recent campus parties, one older sister
Petra, read the limited details, and noted that she had less than two months before the Club Pericol open house to gain the confidence of her soon to be best friends. She would do some checking on her own, but it appeared that her best option was to use a friendship with Brittin to get to Cami. She would try to manipulate Cami to steer the group as needed. The wild card was Paige. Paige was obviously intelligent, but it was not clear whether that included common sense. She would have to figure that out to prevent her smarts from throwing up a road block to the plan.

A week later, Petra walked into an off campus party being thrown by, and for, University underclassmen. There were a lot of people and plenty of alcohol. Petra wasn't into the party scene, so she appeared truthful when she sauntered up to a big blonde girl at the party and said, "Quite a party. I thought I was going to know some people here, but it looks like they haven't shown up yet."
"Well my name is Brittin," the outgoing blonde responded. "So now you know someone here."
"Oh, thank you," Petra responded, with a big smile. "You sound American."
"Yep," Brittin answered, explaining that she was just in Bucharest to study abroad for two semesters.
Over the next hour and a half, Petra managed to keep Brittin engaged in conversation. She proceeded to tell Petra about herself, her family, life in Utah, everything she knew about soccer, and assorted details about the Church of Latter Day Saints. Petra reacted with fascination at every detail, despite the fact that she had already researched most of the information, and her research had provided many of the questions that had been guaranteed to keep the blonde focused on her favorite subjects. Just as planned, Petra had a new best buddy.
Petra had already spotted Cami and Paige in the crowd, talking to various people while drinking a bit too much. When the two finally came over to where she and Brittin talked, Petra easily feigned ignorance of who they were until Brittin made the introductions. The four girls continued their discussion for quite a while, enabled by Petra's knowledge of the girls' likes and dislikes that allowed her to ask all the right questions to keep the Americans talking. The three girls were drawn into a friendship, oblivious to the fact that the evening had been carefully choreographed by Petra.
As the party drew down, Petra thanked the girls for their company. "It was so nice of you to keep me company all night when my friends didn't show up," she gushed, to her new friends. "It was so much fun. Maybe some time, I will be lucky enough to get invited to another party like this."
"There's another party next Friday," Brittin interrupted. "Why don't you come with us?"
"Are you sure, you wouldn't mind me tagging along?" asked Petra, shyly. "I would love that," she added, not waiting for an answer to her question.
"We would love to have you join us," Cami piped in.
"Well, great," Petra stated, elation in her voice. "It's a date."
The girls exchanged information, and made plans to meet the following Friday before Petra made her way from the party.
As the three American's left the party, they discussed how friendly Petra had been, and how she was the nicest person they had met in their time in Romania. They were looking forward to getting to know her better the following week, without any clue that they had just placed one foot into a very devious trap.
