Neathery is wonderful. He creates a character who is adorable and infuriating at the same time. He sticks her in a race against life and death, and we don’t know at the end whether she will have the goodness to pull our beloved ones out of a fiery death, betray them on a whim or be attacked by a crazed monster. This is edge of seat stuff.
Speaking as someone who’s done it professionally, scrubbing toilets is one of those things that’s not all it’s cracked up to be.[Hey, Kirbee finally got Holly’s name right!]
As far as Kirbee’s complaining goes, remember that she is not used to being placed in life or death situations and isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Thus its hardly surprising that her priorities may seem skewed. Besides, compare Monday’s complaint about outsiders (“…give them an inch of compassion and they’ll take a mile.”) with the words & actions of any other lizard except Piotr and she comes out pretty good.
And here we see Kirbee under stress accidentally getting Holly’s name right.I guess our heroes will escape okay, but probably only in the proverbial nick of time.
They do need to be concerned. If that door breeches the fire will flash the room. This will raise the room temp to “well done” in a few seconds. The rush of air down the shaft could suck Kirbee back down. Even if Kirbee gets topside they will have a time climbing that rope as the air rushes down to the fire. I have experienced some of those flashes before back as a volunteer firefighter. It was a weird thing to watch your gear begin to smoke from the heat. Its all that fresh O2 coming in. As for Irving…..close to Chic’s heart I would imagine….under his uniform bib.
I had Not known that laudry shoot was so far. I was thinking maybe 2 floors. It looks a lot longer than that.
That is probbly Irving in the cloth, but it would be good if he could tuck the wrapped up Irving in his overall bib, that would free up his hand.I wear overalls whenever I can, because they are roomy and many things can be tucked into the pockets and the bib.
Kirbee must survive. She’s Holly and Chic and Irving’s alibi for the horrific egg scramble. Wally’s alibi is the entire boxing audience. The 4 will make it up the laundry chute….prolly.

Just exactly how much time DOES a door on fire not last?
