"Hey Zach!" Sarah said in an eccentric and obnoxiously comforting voice.
"What you up to?"
Zach didn't talk a lot. He was often mute. Sarah picked up a plate from the coffee table with a couple of leftover crusts from Zach's lunch. Zach turned to Sarah as she walked out the room.
"No!" Zach cried.
Before Sarah could stop herself, she had thrown the crusts away.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, nooooooo!" Zach screamed. He proceeded to scream no and flail his limbs about in frustration. He was having an autistic meltdown.
"Zach, it's ok, we can get another sandwich!" Sarah tried to comfort him.
"No, no, nooooo!" Zach proceeded to shout.
As he flailed his arms about he hit a wall.
CRASH!
The wall cracked open to reveal a door.
"A fake wall, I wonder if Josh knows about this?" Sarah thought out loud.
Zach got really upset about breaking something and proceeded to soil himself and revert to the fetal position.

Ignoring Zach's obvious destress, Sarah stepped over him and to the door.
She jiggled the door handle. "Shit" It was locked. Sarah then shoved to door, breaking the weak locking mechanism and opening the entrance to what she presumed to be an old store cupboard.
Oh but she was so, so wrong.
