What's next?
Owen gets her "help"
"Are you okay?" Owen asked her again.
"No!" Jenn yelled, "I already told you, I'm not supposed to be in here, someone took all my stuff, and I have nothing."
Owen didn't believe the disheveled and frazzled-looking woman before him.
"I'll be back, don't worry," Owen pulled the curtain and - much to Jenn's chagrin - left it wide open as he sauntered out of the stall.
Jenn tiptoed to the curtain to pull it back, tempted to just hold it on herself but knowing that would mean her hand would still be showing and that would raise more suspicion. Jenn backed into the stall again, warm water caressing her as she hugged herself and sat down.
Eventually the curtain opened back, and there was Owen - fully clothed - surrounded by two staffers.
"This woman said she wasn't supposed to be here," Owen said, "and that someone took her stuff. She couldn't explain anything."
"Don't worry, ma'am, I know you're having an episode," one of the staffers informed her.
"What?!" Jenn jumped back up in surprise, "I'm not having a mental breakdown! I'm not crazy!" Well, both of those statements were true... mostly...
"Here," the staffer offered his hand, "we'll get you help."
"I can explain!" Jenn abandoned all attempts to cover herself as she frantically waved her arms around, "I was in the wrong locker room by accident and someone took all my stuff."
"Yeah, sure," the staffer continued, unimpressed by Jenn's explanation.
"It's true!" Jenn protested again, "check the lost and found!"
Do the staffers believe her, or is she taken to the loony bin?
