"It's locked?" The baffled Doctor Kingsley walked over. He tried the door handle, but alas, it was indeed locked.

"That is strange. This room isn't usually locked since no one would want to steal the worthless junk inside. Who in the right mind would lock it?" he muttered.

Sophia became convinced she definitely saw two people running to hide inside. 'Someone must've been spying on us. And they ran away to hide inside this utility room when they heard us coming out!' "Doctor Kingsley, I'll stand guard here while you go find the key for this utility room. I won't feel assured until I know for sure that no one is hiding inside," said Sophia.

Even though Doctor Kingsley thought it was weird the utility room would be locked, he did not think anyone was hiding inside. After all, it was totally possible some nurse accidentally locked it after putting something inside. However, he did not dare to defy Sophia's order, so he went back to his consultation to take the key.
