Christmas in the Heir (A Locktime Holiday Original)

Christmas in the Heir (A Locktime Holiday Original) by bennygrimm

It's only 9:30, so you suppose you can make it out to "Christmas, Oregon" today, and maybe not hit as much holiday traffic.

You get in the car, and pull up a USB drive filled with audio information from Kenzie, including clips from different podcasts, that could give you some insight into why you'd been so heavily invested in Christmas-Air.

It's quite a drive, and you manage to listen to and internalize much of the information, with an unfortunate amount of time to spare.

You make a call to try to schedule a late afternoon meeting with this heiress, and her secretary confirms you for the meeting and a tour of the facilities.

You eventually pull into Christmas, Oregon, and it's a surprisingly quaint town, all things considered.

The sign as you enter features a huge picture of Santa Claus and says "Welcome to Christmas, home of Christmas-Air Candles! Pop: 2034."

2,034 is less than the people you went to high school with. This place really is a hick town in the middle of nowhere.

You remember from the podcasts that more than 950 people work at the Fragrance Factory, which means almost certainly they are the biggest employer in town.
