OFFICE ON ALERT! SICK MAN LURKING AROUND!

Last Sunday:
At 10pm, a MAN was walking down the flight of stairs that can lead nowhere else but to my office only. My friend was on his way up and out and threw him a curious stare. THE MAN turned and trailed my friend all the way out. My friend thought he was saved when they bumped into security, and reported that he did not know this guy who was following him. But THE MAN acted like he was with my friend and they are good buddies fooling around, so the security guard did not take my friend seriously.

Previous week:
My colleague's undergraduate brother and friends were approached by THE MAN in the common computer lab. THE MAN claimed that he was a postgrad. THE SICK MAN asked if they will like to get together sometime for some sick pleasure. Of course my friend's brother declined.

Last night:
At around half past 8pm, THE SICK MAN appeared again. He walked into the office and was stopped by the same friend who was followed on Sunday. When asked what he was doing there, THE SICK MAN said he was a final year undergraduate on exchange program and as a student he can access any room in the college he likes. He couldn't produce a student ID. He did comply by stepping out of the office, but did not leave immediately. He then asked my friend privately if he can let him "**** his ****". Other than my offended friend, only W and I (both ladies) were still working in the office, so we decided to lock ourselves in and also left college together after that.

Because I've been working in the lab, and also sitting at the far end of the office, I've not seen THE DISGUSTING AND SICK MAN personally and only know that he is about 1.65m tall and looks oriental.

It is quite usual to find spare/odd rooms being turned into offices for postgrads here. In my department for instance, PG offices can be found in rooms hidden behind the laboratories, the reprographic room or on the roof level abut the boilers. Hence, like most postgrad offices, mine is also quite a well hidden secret. No one else other than the 20 people working here, the cleaners, and an occasional student on appointment would come in here. Usually we keep an eye out for strangers because things have been stolen from this office before and there are also digital equipments and micro-processors sitting around.

We think it is quite unlikely that THE MAN was just prowling around for like-minded homo-friends. His lewd suggestions may just be a diversion so that he can check places out. It'll not be difficult to break into my office now as building contractors have torn down the wall on the south-end and there are paved scaffoldings outside the north-end windows. In any case, the stairs leading to my office is also a fire escape route that leads two more floors down to a dead end unless one breaks the fire alarm. And no one ventures there - normally. If someone hides there, nobody knows. That's the real danger and that's what I worry about. Since he had unabashedly expressed his preferences, the masculine population in my office have to be really careful as well.
