The Virginity Test

[Suggested song for this chapter – Uprising, by Muse]

"Hi Delphi, I'm Rachel," said the woman who was ushering her through to the examination room, "and over there is Doctor Granofsky".

Delphi looked into the room where a woman was sterilising her hands and putting on gloves.

"Call me Rivka," called the woman cheerfully.

"Hi. Nice to meet you both," said Delphi, feeling slightly regretful at what she would have to do to them.

She hoped they wouldn't be punished for her escape.

"I remember there's a lovely view from here from last time I had surgery," Delphi said.

"Yes, you had your wisdom teeth removed in pavilion three next door," said Rachel. "And these medical pavilions do have a beautiful outlook."

The women appeared to know her medical history. That meant that they knew she had been secretly operated on and had been told to keep it from her. She felt a little less sorry for them after that.
