Working
as a secretary in an international airport, my sister had an office adjacent to
the room 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 you
come out until you're told!"
The man scuttled back inside and slammed the door.
When the security people
returned, the women reported what had happened.
Without a word, an officer
walked into the room and released the very frightened telephone repairman.
