"Hmm," the maintenance worker said curiously as he stepped out of the bathroom. "I don't see any issues.

Tina and I exchanged a look of confusion. "But there was white gas coming out of the vent," I said, my cyc slightly from the ordeal. "It practically choked us."

The maintenance worker gave us an amused glance, leaning closer to get a better look at us. "Are you sure you girls weren't just smoking in there?"

Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Bathroom vents? Now I'm really curious.

"Later," I promised. "Right now, I think we could all use a drink. Shots, anyone?"
