Alex Pov

I enter the library. I enter the room the meeting was being held at. "Hey guys. Is this the neighborhood watch meeting?" I ask them. "Oh hiya Alex. Didn't expect to see you here. This is sort of a member only type deal." How was I supposed to know.

"Sorry didn't know. I'll just be quiet. Until I can talk about new business." I said to norm. "Well in truth we were getting to new business." Oh. I pull out a chair to sit in it.

"Oh good! Could you tell me how often you tell me how often you guys rotate patrols? Do you interface directly with law enforcement? What are your protocols for threats such as burglary, Graffiti, and reckless driving." Did I talk to fast? "No Alex." Wow they don't. "I know these are indeed grave matters."

"New business actually means another round of danish." Oh how I suppose to know. Sorry. "Raspberry or Cheese-Filled?" Mmm that raspberry sounds good. "Raspberry please." They pass the box to me. "Thanks."

"Hey fellas. Alex here has got a point.  Now listen up. I got some too secret intelligence for you." Sound cool. "Oh that good." I went back to eating my Danish. "Now you know Johnson's been bragging about that treehouse he built for his kids?"

"I heard him talking about it yesterday. He came up to me after  coming home from work." It was irritating." Yeah." Jones said. "It's a prefab job." Wow. "That blockhead can't swing a hammer. Alex here can. I seen her fix something at her and her wife house." I laughed. "Well I know how to fix a lot of things."

"I can do you one better. You know those Dowling trophies Arthur's always Polishing?" I nodded my head yes. "He bought 'em all at a yard sale in Hackensack." Really. "They don't belong to him." Norm nodded his head yes. "Wow you learn something new everyday."

"I knew it. I've never once seen him down at the lanes." Arthur probably doesn't know how to bowl. " I too have some top secret gossip to share." I said to the guys. Norm here s a Communist." Fuck kill me now.

I don't belong on this earth. I'm so fucking stupid.  Everyone but me look at norm. They all started to laugh. "Alex you're a real cut-up." Nope I'm not. Wanda come save me. "You know I always Thought you were a kind of a square." Me a square. I have you seen me.

"I'm not norm." I ran my hand through my hair. "Hey care for a drink " he pass me a beer. "I'll have one."  I was about to take a sip. "Well when in Westview... cheers." I took a big old sip." All right so back to the barbeque." I started to feel weird.

Wanda Pov

I'm so done with Dottie. I'm trying to be nice. "That is why you never do a seating chart on an empty stomach." I'm going to strangle you then let Alex handle you. She on my last nerve.

"Golly you're a whiz at this committee stuff Dottie. Thanks you for choosing me to help you clean up. I feel so lucky."I was helping clean. I'm trying to be nice. The only people I need to clean up for is my wife and daughter and not for Dottie. "You are." I'm so done with her.

"I can't help but wonder if you and I haven't gotten off on the wrong foot Dottie." I walk over to her. "And I would like to correct that if I can." Really she try to steal my wife. "And how would you do that?" I know a lot of ways.

"I've heard things about you." How did she hear thing about me. I only talk to my wife, our daughter, and Agnes. "You and your wife." Don't bring Alex in this. I walk close to her. Not to kill her. "Well I don't know what you've been told but I assure you I don't mean anyone any harm." But you.

"I don't Believe you." You don't need to believe me. Some weird voice was coming through the radio. "Wanda. Wand, can you hear me, over?" I look over to the radio. I was worried. "Wanda?" Huh. "Who is that?"  You think I know. "Wanda?"
