This turn of events caused Jimmy, the communicative one, to be happy. “What are we going to ask for outside? Who am I able to get a hold of quickly?”, Jimmy questioned.
Charley’s light bulb went off in his head. “Let’s use the phone to text your friends to get them to come to the room.”, he thought. Jimmy thought that this was okay but, he found a paper outside of the door that read, “Watch what you say to others?” Both of them talked about the paper.
