(POV) Hercules:

I knock on the large door, scared.
"Come in!" Calls Eliza from within.
I open the door and peek in.
I get distracted by her room, a lot like Peggy's, only duck egg blue, and a bit bigger with a different style. I see the doors that must lead to a wardrobe and a bathroom.
She glares at me then asks, "Who the fuck are you?"
"Hi, I'm Hercules Mulligan!" I offer her my hand but when she doesn't take it, I shrug.
"Oh my God! It's you!"
"Umm, yeah!" I say, pleased someone important like Eliza Schuyler knows me.
"You're the one who Jefferson humiliated today!" She laughs before turning back to her laptop.
"Umm, we need to talk..." I say, awkwardly.
"About?" She asks looking up at me.
"What happened."
"Okay, what is it?"
"I want to show Jefferson up. And I think Madison's diary is the perfect place for it! You've read it right? What sort of shit does it say about Jefferson?" I ask, excited.
She shakes her head. "I've never read it. It felt like an invasion of his privacy."
I stare at her.
"I've gone too, but I just couldn't!" She confides.
"Can I...?" I nod at the battered diary that sits on her desk.
"Hmmm, if this helps upturn Jefferson then yes! But I need to be kept updated!"
"Of course!"
"And also... how did you get in?" She asks, puzzled.
"My friend John is friends with your sister." I explain.
"Angelica?"
"No, Peggy. We're all in her room."
"Oh, okay."
"I should get back..." I start but then she wraps me in a hug.
"Bring justice to Madison. Promise me." She whispers into my ear.
"I promise." I tell her, meaning ever word. "He deserved more."
"Damn right he does."
Then I leave, feeling victorious, with the battered book cradled in my arms. Today will get better!
