The mood shifted to dangerous quickly. Vashti felt she was insulted and he couldn't blame her. Madison was not the worst drunk he's ever seen, but it definitely brought out the worst in her. He tried to think of was ways to deescalate the situation, but Claudette did it instead. He felt like he hadn't seen her use her power in awhile. The darkness disappeared just as soon as it appeared, but the elevator also stopped working. He didn't know the details for Claudette's power, but he can't recall it ever stopping power before. That's not good. It's over 100 degrees outside, no air conditioning, and no circulating air.

They were on the in between floors, the manual ticker on stop of the door was stuck between 8th and 9th floors. There were two ways out of an elevator, the emergency hatch at the top and prying the door open. He couldn't fit through either, but the girls could get. Maybe get some help. There's also the call button. Yes. Emergency button. He pressed it, but nothing happened. Needs to power to work, that's right. Back to hatch or door.

"Let's not panic. I can open the hatch and if you can fit you can get out that way and get some help, or I can pry the door open and you can climb out that way." Maybe Madison will sober up in the mean time.
