Joshua could sense that Allison felt a bit out of place in the room, so he casually said, "Take a look around and let me know if there's anything you need. I'm gonna head upstairs for a quick shower."

Joshua stopped and turned back, curious. "What's up?"

Allison rummaged through her backpack and handed him a bottle of milk. "Joshua, could you help me get in touch with a testing agency? I've got a feeling there might be something off with this milk."

Allison nodded seriously. "Seems like it, but I'm not exactly sure. Better to play it safe."

"Got it, leave it to me."

Joshua pulled out his phone to make a call. "Hey, can you swing by? I need you to handle something important." He walked off, disappearing around the corner.

Allison let out a deep breath, feeling her tension ease up a bit.
