Who: OTA!
Where: The Keller house (A large Victorian House)
When: Evening
Janie wasn't surprised when Phillip asked her to do something in addition to her list of things to do regarding the campground incident, including helping in the lab, getting set up for shooting lessons, and getting supplies. He wanted to throw a dinner party for something he'd done at work. He asked that she hire a catering service and send out invitations.
After getting more information from him, she discovered that his company had discovered a way to make cheaper transitior radios. They would sell for $29.95, and the company was certain that would increase sales.
She thought the party was nice, but knew that part of it was to alleviate some of the mystery of the place. Phillip's family had once been rich and well-known, but over the years they had begun to fade into obscurity. When Phillip's pretty wife died sixteen years ago, he closed off the mansion and was rarely seen until several months ago.
Hours that could have been spent learning how to kill things, or studying so she could understand more science were spent cleaning, closing drafts, and giving out invitations. She was sure to give Mr.Chow one, since she was rather fond of the grumpy old man, almost begging that he come to the party. There was the bridge club, because they were her best friends, and all of the high society people, since Phillip insisted on it. She also invited Gloria and the people she'd seen around Rev.Templeton's church. Lynn was instructed(against Phillip's wishes) to invite as many friends as possible.
She was told not to invite anyone from the Texaco, so of course, she did. It would be a lively party, and she hoped to get her friends alone for at least a few minutes to talk about things.

Speaking of dates and escorts-- Maxine looked from Janie to Vito with a questioning look.

"Phillip isn't fond of Vito, but... he- erm. Yes, but it's not the most socially acceptable thing. I guess we don't have to worry about Vito losing any business since what happened at the Sunoco... right? Or did I just say something that I'm not supposed to?"

She liked both Vito and Janie and thought they made a fine couple anyhow. And with everything going on in the town, it was hardly a time to be worried over social niceties.

"Maybe we can start a women's civil defense class at the firing range. I bet Fred could teach us all the basics. And that'd be a good reason for all the women of the town to go down and get some practice in. Doing our civic duty and all that.
I know I want go get some practice in. I've got Joe's service pistol at home, but I'm not all that good with how to use it."

She gave a wan smile. "Anyhow, I think that's a great idea - stocking up and getting prepared and getting this women's civic club started. Because whatever is going on, being prepared is a good thing."

Like just about everyone in town, she'd heard commercials for Seth Arms on the radio. It sounded like there was an awful lot of variety there.

Janie frowned for a moment at Lynn and Nica, who were huddled together.
"Anybody else want another drink? Something to eat?"

Maxine figured while the guys were working on that it was up to her, Janie, and Katie to get the women together.
