     I think maybe Alicia also talked  
to them about it, because they started 
giving me even more pitiful looks than 
before this whole head banging business
happened.                              
     I never asked her about it, and   
not because I didn’t care, but because 
I really didn’t want to know. But also,
because their sympathy helped my       
stories sound more believable.         
     I don’t know why it worked that   
way, but I took full advantage of it,  
and that Secret Room was my target.    
     I know it’s mean, and that I’m a  
low life scum for doing it, but I fi-  
gured that it might get someone talk-  
ing, just to shut me up.               
     That’s one of the reasons why,    
even as sick as it was, I still did it.
     And that brings us to the Secret  
Room.                                  
     The Secret Room wasn’t secret be- 
cause it was hidden. Everyone knew ex- 
actly where it was. The door to get    
into it was inside another room that   
everyone called the Outer Office. I    
called it the Oh Oh Room.              
     Very few people had access to the 
Oh Oh Room. Even our Supervisor        
couldn’t get in there, until a year    
ago.                                   
     You could see inside through a    
small window, but you really couldn’t  
see much. The door to the Secret Room  
was at an angle to it, and the blinds  
were usually closed anyway.            
     The major reason it was called the
Secret Room was because no one knew    
what went on in there.                 
     Even Sherrie was clueless, and    
that just added fire to the rumour     
mill.                                  
     I helped to fuel that fire big    
time, and that all started about a year
ago.                                   
     At the end of one of our weekly   
meetings, Sherrie asked for a volunteer
to clean Room 334, and I raised my hand
immediately.                           
     One of our duties, before we did  
anything else, was to clean six dif-   
ferent Surgical Rooms and two offices. 
They were scattered all around the     
place, and my room was one of the Sur- 
gical ones.                            
     Taking on the Oh Oh Room would    
give me two rooms to clean, but I      
didn’t care. This was my chance to     
crack the Case of the Secret Room, and 
I was gonna go for it.                 
     I knew that room 344 was the Oh Oh
Room, but for some reason, no one else 
did, and since no one else raised their
hand, I got the job.                   
     After the meeting, I also got a   
quick tour.
