Chris let out a loud shriek as he collapsed from the sofa.

Immediately, Nancy seized this opportunity to crawl up and escape. She tried to open the door, only to find that it'd been locked from the outside.

“Who's outside?” Nancy pounded her fists against the door. “Open the door this instance!” she demanded.

“Ms. Nancy, Mr. Gold instructed for you and Mr. Nacht to retire early tonight.” Outside, the maid spun on her heel and left.
