Clean bill of health.

Erica lost track of how long she had been sitting there, but it felt like hours. At some point, somebody finally came and gave her a robe, which she gratefully accepted and covered herself with. Finally, a member of the hazmat team came to speak with her. "Thank you for your patience," he began saying, ignoring the look on Erica's face. "My name is Edgar and I am giving you a clean bill of health. Our initial findings have not discovered anything concerning. You are free to leave the hangar and reintegrate with society."

"Oh my gosh, thank you," Erica exclaimed.

"Of course. The robe that you are wearing will need to be properly disposed by our hazmat teams," Edgar continued.

"What?" Erica demanded. Edgar held out his hand expectantly. "I've only got this robe on. You can't make me go out there naked, can you?" He gestured with his hand, as if to say "hand it over."

"I didn't see the flight attendant or the passenger who developed the chemicals leave the hangar naked," Erica continued pleading.

"The flight attendant kept her luggage on the plane and was able to dress before leaving. As for the scientist passenger, his luggage was retrieved due to the sensitive nature of his work and its value to the federal government.

"Please hand over the robe."
