I’d rather die than step into a bath that had been used by others. And I was pretty sure Nigel knew that.
“Au revoir!” he yelled.
“What the hell did you just say to me?!”That son of a bitch!
Chastity laughed. “He just said bye in French.”
“You know I don’t speak French!”
“Take a deep breath. There will surely be a homeless person that needs to pee soon. And the manager will open the door. We’ll be in here for a couple of minutes tops.”
I never thought I’d need Homeless Rutherford to save me. “I don’t have a couple of minutes. I can’t breathe!” I tried to take a deep breath, but there was no air. How were we already out of air?
“Ash, snap out of it,” Chastity said and shook my shoulders. “Everything is going to be fine.”
“How? We’re locked in a bathroom and Tanner’s been kidnapped!”
“Possibly kidnapped. But probably just taken to an emergency sex auction.”
But she hadn’t seen what had happened. He’d definitely been taken by DODO. I hip-checked the door.Ow.Why did that always work in movies? I grabbed my hip. “I think I broke it.”
“The door seems fine to me.”
“Not the door! My hip!”
“Here, sit down. No, wait. Don’t.”
We both stared at the puddle on the ground. I had no idea if it was pee of some sort of beverage. I really hoped it was the latter. Who the hell would pop a squat and piss in the middle of the floor when there was a toilet right there?
I started slamming my fists against the door. “Homeless Rutherford! Save us!”

“Ash, I seriously doubt Homeless Rutherford will be the homeless person that saves us. I mean…what are the chances he’d be using this bathroom out of all the bathrooms in the city? Besides, he’d probably just lick the door and walk away.”
I gagged and looked down at my hands that had been banging on the door. “Helicksdoors?!” I ran to the sink and turned on the water. “They’re out of soap!” I screamed. “How are they out of soap? I’m going to die in here!”
“Someone will let us out soon.”
But the seconds turned to minutes. And the minutes turned to hours. “Chastity!” I screamed. “We’ve been in here for five hours!”
Chastity checked her phone. “It’s literally been one minute.”
That didn’t sound right. “Are you sure?” The germs were killing me.
A second later there was a knock on the door.
“Occupied!” I yelled out of habit as I dried my hands on way too many paper towels. As if paper towels could help with the germs all over my skin. “No, wait! We’re stuck! Help us!” I started banging on the door, keeping the paper towels over my hands for protection.
“Unlock the door,” the man said from the other side.
Why is a man trying to get into the woman’s restroom?
“It is unlocked on our side,” Chastity said. “Unlock it from your side.”
“There’s no lock on this side,” he said.
