Rion Turner transfers from her fifth school this year to Kent High only to be sent to detention on her first day. Although, I'd say that's probably the least of her worries ..
"Always wanted to do that." Grover says as Violet knocks everything off the desk of principal Mitchell's desk so I can set down the blueprint I found.

I roll my eyes as they both start laughing together. "I found these in the basement next to the boiler room." I say. "Maybe there's something about the plumbing we can fix."
"I already checked for clogs and leaks everywhere." Diesel says.
"It's easier than an engine schematic." Diesel walks over to me. "Okay, wait, first let's clear the air here. What's up with you two?" He looks at me and Grover. "You've been giving each other funny looks ever since we went looking for Lashaen's insulin." Neither of us says anything. "Talk."
"Nothing, we're all good here." Grover says as I look down at my nails.
"Rion." Diesel presses.
I look up at him, "No, yeah yeah, we're good."
Diesel sighs, "Alright, whatever. Okay, um. This is the pipe into the building right here." He shows me on the blueprint.
"And you're sure there's no place else?" I ask.
"Positive." He nods. "See, the problem's outside. It's probably like a broken water main somewhere, or a pumping station that's been messed up."
"So we can't fix the water from in here." Violet says.
"Hey." Grover says. "We have another option."
"Yeah?" Diesel asks.
"When they built the fallout shelter, they stocked it with gas masks." Grover explains.
"And that's good why?" I ask.
"Because it means we can get the masks and the tanks and get out of here." He says.
"If they're still there." I say. ++
"50 years later." Natalie says.
We had informed everybody about the gas masks.
" How are we gonna get the masks and the tanks if the shelter's filled with freaks?" Lashaen asks.
"Just need to figure out a way to get past them." I say.
"We know they're afraid of fire." Barrett says. "We can rig flamethrowers somehow and scare the freaks back."
"Flamethrowers?" Grover says. "That could work."
"Come on, we can't use a flamethrower." Diesel says. "It's gonna set off the entire school."
