The Great Gatsby, Chapter 7, Part 1

Here's what happens in the first part of this chapter: -Gatsby is becoming more private...he says it's because Daisy comes over in the afternoons, but we can infer that he is being watched by the police for his involvement in organized crime -He invites Nick over to Daisy's house, which is odd. Apparently, there is going to be a social get together with Daisy and Tom, Jordan and Nick...and Gatsby. -Notice how the weather is contributing to the tension in this chapter -Unlike the first time Nick visited Daisy's and she and Jordan seemed light and fluttering, now they seem weighed down by the heat -Again, Tom gets a call from Myrtle or George Wilson while Nick is there...so that's still going on -Tom seems to legitimately be on the phone with George Wilson discussing a car that George wants to buy (which is odd...he has no money...but my guess his he thinks he can fix it up and sell it for a profit) -Tom comes back in the room and greets Gatsby, but leaves the room again, at which time Daisy boldly kisses Gatsby -Then Daisy's daughter Pam comes in. Seeing her is a shock to Gatsby---a "real life" consequence he will have to deal with if he breaks up Daisy's marriage. Is he ready to be a stepdad? Daisy introduces her to the group, and Pammy asks only where her daddy is...good question -As they all struggle to decide what to do in such heat, Daisy and Gatsby openly flirt, and Tom finally notices -They decide to go into town, meaning NYC, and they gather alcohol to take with them and then, oddly, they each take the wrong car---Tom presumptuously drives Nick and Jordan in Gatsby's car, and Daisy and Gatsby follow in Tom's car. -As they drive to NYC, Tom tells Jordan and Nick that he has done some digging and found out that Gatsby is for sure a mobster, using drug stores to sell liquor among other deals he is in on -As they get near to George Wilson's garage, they pull in for some gas. George comes out, looking ill. He apologizes to Tom for calling at lunch but says he needs money pretty badly because he and his wife are going to go out west. This news also sends Tom into a panic. He might lose Myrtle because George is planning on moving away?
