In this scene from "The Angel Experiment" by James Patterson, Gazzy is confused about the warning sign on the third rail. Fang explains that it carries 700 volts of direct current, and touching it would instantly be fatal, likening it to "human popcorn" for the danger it poses. Gazzy acknowledges the warning and instructs everyone to stay away from the third rail, understanding the serious risk involved.
The exchange highlights the characters' interactions and the sense of caution needed when dealing with hazardous situations. Fang’s vivid description emphasizes the lethal voltage, while the moment also reflects the camaraderie and quick understanding among the characters. Fang almost smiling at Gazzy’s response adds a touch of humor amidst the tension, illustrating their dynamic.
