Carla was just gathering up Donnas dishes in a bus tub when Theo burst out of the bathroom, practically running backwards “There’s something in there!” He bellowed as Carla lurched out of the way. The man’s pants were around one ankle and from this close the waitress could make out a recently wet pair of Transformers branded pull ups. She “eek”ed and dropped a plate. Thankfully Mauds was too cheep for porcelain plates so it just bounced away.
“Ted!?” Esther called order to the sudden chaos in her diner “Fudge sake! what’s got into you?” The restraint from swearing felt wrong in her mouth and she had no idea why she’d done it but she had bigger fishies to fry
“I- I saw something in there! Something I never seen before.” Theo was braced against the the edge of the table across from the bathroom door. His eyes stayed locked on the room just past the still swinging door. With every new view of the inside he winced. “It ain’t natural”
“Stay back, Theo. I’ll check it out” Officer Wrigley took charge, carefully closing in with her hand hovering over her service revolver. Everyone else kept their distance yet craned to get a look at whatever scared the trucker so bad. A glimpse at the horror Theo saw. But none of them had a good angle. None but Theo himself and Carla, both locked in fearful apprehension while Donna shoved the door open with her foot.
Theo pointed past her to the porcelain throne in the middle of the room. “Th-that thing. There!” It could use a good cleaning for sure, but what could you really expect from a restroom in a diner in the middle of nowhere.
Upon laying eyes on it, what was Officer Donnas response?
