“Okay,” Rio says “Ready, Cat?”

Cat runs back to the doorway, aims her rifle up in the air, squeezes off two shots

Rio stares fixedly at her watch “Cat, Jen, back to the bathroom”

“Oh, I don’t think you want to go in there,” Cat warns

“Fourteen seconds,” Rio says

“Co, saying, “It’s okay, Cat, we know your shit stinks”

“Not yours, though,” Cat says

“Of course not,” Jenou says “Mine couldn’t”
