"I don't have time."
Charlie headed into the Math building at a clip with his brother easily keeping pace behind him.
"Just blow off your office hours," Don scoffed as Charlie fumbled with his office keys.
"I can't keep doing that!" Charlie complained. "You guys conveniently seem to forget that this is my job! I can't just blow off my responsibilities. Hell, I've rescheduled Randall so many times now I have no clue where he's at on his thesis. I'm late again and he's probably given up on me."
Charlie went to unlock his office door but found it already open. He headed in then stopped in his tracks, staring at the opposite corner of the room.
Don pushed past his stunned brother and saw what had captured his attention.
A body hung from a noose above a tipped over chair.
"Wow, that's a pretty realistic dummy," he said appreciatively.
"Someone is seriously going to pay for this," Charlie said darkly.
"Dr. Eppes! You made it!" Randall walked in carrying a large pumpkin, which he placed on one of the guest chairs. "There are a few more pumpkins and a cool glow in the dark skeleton to bring in then I'll be ready to go over my thesis."
"Whose stupid idea was it to hang a body in my office for Halloween?" Charlie demanded, fuming.
"That would be me."
Amita stood in the doorway with a small pumpkin under each arm and an indignant look on her face.
Don edged past Amita as she entered the room, glaring at Charlie who glowered back in return.
"Come on, Randall," Don said, beckoning. "Something tells me your professor has something to discuss that's more pressing than your thesis."
"Yeah," Randall agreed as he joined Don in the hallway. "And scarier than Halloween..."
