More Drama

To think that things would mellow down since summer is over is such a mistake. So here I was, working the front desk again. This time it was the 12am to 4am shift; the dead shift and they do call it that for a reason.

I thought I might have problems staying awake so when Josiah came by, I asked him if I could borrow one of his dvd's. He lent me "The Three Musketeers" and I settled down for a quiet night with a movie by myself.

Halfway through the movie, I hear this noise by the doors and from where I'm at, I can't see what is going on outside without having to get up from my chair and poke my head out the door. Security does check on the desk workers from time to time so I decided to get up and see who it was.

There was a guy in the hallway, apparently in his pyjamas (shirt and boxers) trying unsuccessfully to open the door by pushing it outwards when clearly to open the door, you have to pull it towards you. I watched him for 10 seconds and realized that the guy was not himself. He obviously had no motor coordination. He was drunk!

I freaked out almost immediately and called Drake Security. It seemed like an eternity for them to arrive but in fact, it probably took them less than 5 minutes to come. While waiting for them, I was praying that the guy wouldn't see me (he was now sprawled across the floor) and that he wouldn't be able to run away. Man, I was so freaked because like come on, I'm just a girl...working the desk and he's a guy - probably an athlete and hell, he was bigger than me. Worst case scenario, I would just scream my head off and Josiah might come running out of his apartment to my rescue (he lives across from the front desk).

I was so relieved when security came but then, I had to wake my boss up. I felt really bad about it but security wanted me to. Security kept on questioning the kid but he was as they said, unresponsive. They didn't know if he was drunk or stoned. When questioned, he said his name was Derek Moore. Immediately I was dispatched to check the roster to see if he was one of the student athletes at GK. He wasn't! I think we spent about half an hour trying to identify him when in the end, we realized that he didn't live here.

The worse part was that he had a bruise on his head and then while security was checking the parameter, they found his clothes outside. =.=" Apparently he stripped himself down and decided to come in. I've no idea how he got in and that's what scares me because all the doors are locked and can only be opened from the inside or with a key.

The paramedics had to come and see if he was alright because he had a bruise on his head; red and blue lights flashing outside GK. Not a pleasant sight to see or experience. My boss had to call Ross' Hall Director to see if he was one of the residents at Ross. He wasn't living here at all in the summer but apparently, he was a Drake student. So we did finally identify him but what was he doing here half naked and drunk/stoned is still a mystery. They finally took him to the hospital.

The drama is finally over, it's 2.45am and I think I should resume my movie. The adrenaline is still rushing through my system and I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight once my shift is over.
