Studio Apartment

Olivia and Norm reached the top of the fire escape to find a studio apartment waiting for them. The window was ajar so they took it upon themselves to crawl in. The inside was a mess. Books were scattered on the floor. The bed, which was in the center of the room, had slid off the boxspring, and the sheets were pulled into the kitchen. "You think anybody's here?" Norm asks. "I don't think anybody is anywhere. But I'd feel better if we checked." Olivia says. "I agree. You check the kitchen. I'll check the bathroom." They both walked off to their respective areas. After a moment, they both came back to the center of the room. "Anyone in the bathroom?" Olivia asks. "No, how about the kitchen?" "Not a soul." "Good." Olivia glances at the open window. "We should really close that." Norm strolls over to the window. He attempts to close it with no luck. "It's stuck." Olivia signs. "I was afraid of that, but it's not like we don't have any resources." Olivia picks up the mattress. She walks over to the wall, and places the mattress flat against the window. "Well, it's something." She says, trying to catch her breath. Norm whistles in admiration. " I love it. You think we'll be able to keep them away though?" "With any luck, yes."
