He distinctly heard the sound of heavy rubber-soled boots, which was unusual as all staff were issued with sneakers. Initially, he thought his colleagues were playing a prank on him, but when he checked on them, they were engrossed in a game of cards. A couple of hours later, the officer heard a voice call out 'numbers C3', but again, he couldn't find anyone responsible.
