Outside.
More and more people gathered.
A small Police Station had suddenly been packed with so many County Leaders and county officials. Many who did not know what was going on found it baffling, especially the officers at the Police Station. None of them realized what had happened, and their hearts skipped several beats. Some of the more imaginative officers even turned pale as they wondered whether someone had planted a bomb at their Police Station, which was why all the leaders had come. And was that why they were all standing in or outside the courtyard without a single one entering the Office Building?

Everyone was left in an impossible position!
