"You Won't Get Into Any Trouble !"

"It's like an office outing isn't it ?" said Debbi to break the rather awkward silence. They were driving to the production plant for the safety demonstration. Debbi didn't understand why it needed Diane, Carol and herself to all be present and she might have used that argument to try and get out of the engagement if it wasn't for the fact that she would be able to spend some time with Andy the fireman ! Diane, of course, had her own plan for the afternoon and Carol had decided to ask to tag along in the hope of possibly thwarting it, whatever it was.

Some of the staff at the plant had been rounded up to watch the demonstration and there was also a party of students from the local college. It all started routinely enough, with Debbi's boyfriend Andy and another colleague from the station setting up controlled fires in the car park and demonstrating the various types of fire extinguisher. They then proceeded inside the plant where Andy gave advice for safe evacuation in the event of alarms and any real fire. It was all rather tame and Carol began to think that she had been wrong about this being one of Diane's schemes to embarrass Debbi. But her antennae began to twitch again when they came to the concluding part of the tour at the decontamination chamber, where Andy was stressing the need for prompt and decisive action should a person ever come into contact with any of the hazardous chemicals used in the production process.

By this time, Debbi seemed distracted and pretty bored despite Andy's presence. But Carol was now on her guard. Diane meanwhile had sidled up to one of the Asian girls in the student party. "A bit boring isn't it ?" she whispered. "Tell me about it" the girl replied. "What's your name ?" asked Diane. "Aditty" the girl replied. "Well Aditty, how about we liven things up ? You won't get into any trouble but see that lever over there beside the woman Debbi ?"
