Hey, MG! It's even deeper than I thought!
Roger?
Check it out. The thirteenth floor mystery. I think I'm onto something big.
Roger--
Shh. We should only whisper about this because-- hold on, let me hear what your whisper sounds like.
What?
No! Shh! Try whispering. I want to make sure you can do it quietly enough before I tell you.
For godsake.
No! Quieter.
Like this, Roger?
Sweet. Good whisper. Okay, MG. Here it is. I took the steps downstairs to see what's on thirteen, and guess what! Go on, guess!
There was no thirteenth floor?
No! There was no thirteenth floor! Oh. Yeah.
Roger, in a lot of older buildings--
But I have a theory! Just because there's no door for it in the stairwell, doesn't mean it's totally not there. I think it might be a half floor.
A half floor?
Shh! Yes. Like the floor above it and below it look normal, but they're each actually a little shorter than the rest, and with the extra space, they put in a secret half floor.
A secret half floor with no door and no elevator.
Yes. No obvious door. I only went down one stairwell. There are lots. And look! They try to keep you out by writing "No re-entry." See? That shows, they don't want us to know what's going on.
Roger, I think it's just because when they built the building, people were super--
I'm going to go into one of the other stairways on Monday and find the half floor.
You'll get stuck, Roger.
Nah, they just say that to try to keep you out. You'll see! The doors don't really lock.
