Once again, the pale guy shooked his head. "I wonder what would happen if you opened the back door a little so the deadly gases would sneak out slowly instead, and allow you to survive, while you fill your friend's oxygen tank with carbon monoxide instead? You'd get the pleasure to watch her die instead."
The laughed together, both thinking about how dangerously right he really was. Their suicidal thoughts had been swept away for a moment.
