Working
as a secretary at an international airport, my sister had an office
adjacent to where security temporarily holds suspects.
One
day security officers were questioning a man when they were suddenly
called away on another emergency. To the horror of my sister and
her colleagues, the man was left alone in the unlocked room. After
a few minutes, the door opened, and he began to walk out. Summoning
up her courage, one of the secretaries barked, "Get back in
there, and don't come out until you're told!"
The
man scuttled back inside and slammed the door. When the security
people returned, the woman reported what had happened.
Without
a word, an officer walked into the room and released one very frightened
telephone repairman. |
