She was going to call Allie out on her traitorous actions. There was no avoiding it, and especially no delaying it. In fact... she could already smell the noxious, pungent odor of methane in the stale air of the bowels. That meant that Allie had succeeded enough to cause a gas leak.
Her hand closing around the cool metal of the lighter in her pocket, Jessica gulped nervously, steeling herself for the coming confrontation.
One foot in front of the other, she advanced. Slowly, silently stepping towards what might be her doom.
She wished she looked better than she did. Disheveled, stinking like she'd taken a bath in a port-o-potty, and looking like she'd lost a fight with a landfill.
But her head was held high, and her dad had always taught her to keep her chin up when the going got tough.
The smell of gas got stronger as she crept closer to the mountain of crap Allie was still scraping away at. Not enough to trigger an apocalyptic fart- if all that gas released at once from Madeline's ass, she'd probably launch herself through the roof thanks to her new internal propulsion system.
But that was if she actually got the chance to fart at all. And if Jessica had her way, Madeline would go to her deathbed with her gut swollen to bursting with gas and unreleased crud. If she had at least protested having five human beings shoved up where the sun didn't shine, Jessica would've felt better for the housewife. But by this point, she wanted Madeline to go kaboom as much as she wanted to see Debbie rotting in jail. The head nurse had killed Priya, after all. That crime was neither forgiven nor forgotten!

"God... damn... it! How much longer is this going to take!" Allie groaned, fighting the urge to slump against the dried up crap she was standing on. She had her pride, damn it! Even if she'd sold her soul to the Debbie-Devil, she wasn't going to fall asleep on a literal mountain of shit! She was going to-
"...Hey, Allie. Whatcha doing there?"
Allie froze.
Slowly, mechanically, she turned around.
No, that hadn't been her imagination.
Jessica stood down below her on the floor of the slimy tunnel, looking up at her hands clenched and arms crossed.
Gulping nervously, Allie lowered the heel in her hand she'd been using to chip away at the mountain with. She'd had some minor success; enough to let the gas through but far too little to cause even the faintest break in the massive mound.
Worst of all, she couldn't play this off as an accident or an 'I'm just looking' incident. Not when the evidence was currently smeared over her heels and across her front.
Slowly, she climbed down from the mountain, stopping only about ten feet- or the equivalent at their tiny size- above Jessica, who was glaring up at her.
"...Fine. I know what you're going to ask. Yes, I'm trying to break down the mountain. But, listen- I'm only-"
"Allie? Please, shut the fuck up."
Allie's mouth closed with a click.
"There's nothing I can say to defend myself, is there?" There was something strangely calming about that. Knowing that she'd reached the end of the road, and there was only one way forward.
Either she was going through Allie, or Allie was going through her. Her hands tightened around the heel in her hand. Even when smeared with crap, the footwear's heel was still stiletto-sharp.
It was too bad that things had come to this, but... desperate times called for desperate measures!
Just as she was about to leap down on top of Jessica, the blonde girl reached into her pocket and pulled something out.
"What the hell is that? Newsflash, Jess. We can't see SHIT in here other than this bloated bitch's shit! And I'm getting out of here, whether you like it or not!"
"About that, Allie... You're not going anywhere. Not unless you want me to send us all sky high. Jessica's phone came up in her other hand, the flashlight shining on the object in her other hand.
Allie's heart just about leapt out of her chest.
"A LIGHTER?! Are you OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!" One spark from that thing, and this whole place- that was Madeline would go up in flames!
"That's right. So-" Allie flinched as Madeline's thumb brushed the top of the lighter, ready to flip it at a moment's notice.
"One spark. That's all I need. Then we really all WILL be free from this hell."
"Y-you're bluffing!" Allie laughed, sounding more than a little hysterical.
"Am I?" In comparison, Jessica sounded far more level-headed. Or maybe it was because she was just DONE with this whole awful situation.
