Chapter 5: Trapped in the Toilet

As our investigators entered the bathroom, Adam had already ran inside one of the toilets and locked it from the inside. The investigators came in, finding only one toilet closed and stuck from inside.

"The rest of the bathrooms and toilets are all open. Only this one is locked!"
"I think he's inside this toilet."
"What a nerve! Hiding inside this toilet! Let's break this door down and see who the hell this guy is."
Siva retorted,"Maybe it's a dog." Everyone looked at him, and at that moment he realized that if they were not chasing a thief, he would have been laughed at.

The problem now was, whether anyone was inside or not.

Siva said," I know. Let's take a stick and sweep it below the door around the floor. If indeed there's anyone inside, it'll get stuck."

They found a stick and swept it across the floor. But they didn't hit anything. Adam had climbed the water pipes.

"You know what? We'll go and call the security and fix this case once and for all!"

"Yeah. Let's do it."

"But one of us has to stand guard here while the others get the security. Who is it gonna be?"

None of them said anything. If the thief came out after they had left and if the guy standing guard was 'assaulted' upon by this thief, he could be dead before they returned.

"I have a better plan. Lets lock the bathroom from outside. Then the sucker will never leave."

Everyone agreed and they locked the bathroom from outside, using an old lock as a hook around the latch.

They went and shook the security awake. There were two of them. They had heard about the thieves at night. This was exciting.

They came back and opened the bathroom. They went inside and broke into the toilet.

There was no one inside.

No one was in the mood to talk after that.
