Mr Finleyson replied, "Good idea Gilbert. I'll go once you get back. Ask the sergeant if they could freshen up the hen's water while you're passing the desk." Gilbert got up from his mat opened the cell door and stepped out. He could hear the hushed tones of the staff. There were still a few shouts here and there from the prisoners. All in all it was a lot calmer and quieter than it had been earlier on! He tiptoed down the hall towards the bathroom. He didn't see anyone going or returning. The desk sergeant was not at his desk. He noticed the clock on the wall behind the desk read 12:10 am. Maybe all the officers were at a meeting, including the desk sergeant. He tiptoed back to the cell and opened the door. Mr Finleyson then got up to go to the bathroom Gilbert said to him, "On you go Oliver. There is no one on duty out there. Empty. Didn't see a living soul. Even the desk sergeant is not behind his desk. No one to ask for clean water for your hens. Why don't you take the bowl with you and you can get fresh water from the bathroom sink". Mr Finleyson said, "Good idea, I'll do that" He picked up the bowl off the bench and tiptoed out of the cell so not to disturb his hens. Out he went and he headed down the long hall to the bathroom. He re-filled the hen's bowl in the sink and headed back to the cell, carefully carrying the bowl of water. He also noticed there was no one about. Where was everyone he thought? Maybe it was their shift change. He went past the desk to the cell. No desk sergeant. Oh well, he thought. He opened the cell door and went carefully over to the bench with the bowl of clean water. He managed to spill some of the water onto Martha's head as he leaned over her to put the bowl down. Her eyes flew open and she hissed at him then started blowing raspberries at him, which disturbed the other hens. Before he knew it, the other hens were clucking loudly at Martha as if to tell her to stop the loud raspberry blowing, so they could get back to sleep. Martha continued her loud hissing and raspberry blowing, ignoring her sister's pleas for her to stop. She had been in a deep sleep until Finney had spilled water on top of her head, startling her awake! Blanche had enough of Martha's belligerent attitude and noises that had woken them all up. How could she and the rest of them get back to sleep again with Martha carrying on the way she was? You would think Finney had completely drenched her in water!
