Peggy Sue Pegged Out

A peg she had not seen before lay on the back doorstep. At first she supposed she must have dropped it the day before. But no. It bore a number. None of the others had a number. So: the codeword was '11'. But she had lost the secret code book. For years she had felt safer without it. Suppose Secret Service agents searched her house and found it? And now she was an ordinary housewife living in an ordinary town and enjoying an ordinary marriage. Although something Marjorie had once said made her wonder if her marriage might actually be a little extraordinary, but she couldn't do much about that aspect now. Anyway, very inconveniently the call to activate had come, when she thought (?hoped) they had forgotten all about her. And she had to do number 11. Oh dear. What was number 11? If only they'd asked her to do number 3. She could remember that well enough.
