"It was rather creative," he had to admit, giving the redhaired girl a rather wry smile. He relaxed a bit because they weren't doing anything wrong as far as he could tell. Her Sean? This must be Sean's niece then. "Why didn't you just ask Sean to let you into the closet?"
She was doing something useful, after all.
He actually chuckled as the other girl seemed to be concerned with her friend having a go at him with the pipe cutter. "That'd be a new one for me," he said. "Never had anyone come at me with a pipe cutter."
Cath shrugged and shifted off the door. "And is there a reason I should be handing you over to Sean?" He didn't see one, but it never hurt to ask. They might actually be honest with him. Or tell him another amusing bit of blarney. Either would be a welcome relief from the rest of his day.
