The women's restroom was quite occupied; out of ten or so stalls, most were taken. Emily Berns scanned each one carefully. Several stalls soon became vacant, but there was no sign of John Brown. However, the last two stalls remained locked all this time.
Each stall had a door that could be locked from the inside, with a gap below the door allowing one to see the occupant's feet. In one of the last two stalls, there were indeed feet visible, wearing high heels, while the other had no signs of feet beneath the door.
Emily walked to the second-to-last stall. Seeing no feet inside, she knocked on the door. Hearing no response, she pushed the door open, only to find the stall empty.
Emily frowned slightly and tried the last door, but it was locked.
"What are you doing?" came a woman's voice from inside.
"Oh, just checking if someone's in here," Emily explained quickly.
