Chad looked over at Chel, his face creased in confusion, "ther- there was somebody here man, I swear to God, I grabbed him and he just..." he stopped talking. This was crazy. He saw something, but not what he thought. Just the shadows playing tricks on him, he must've grabbed an old electrical cable or something. The banging? Coulda been anything, though what Chad wasn't exactly sure. Either way, people just didn't disappear. He cleared his throat, shook his head, and smiled. "I must've erm, seen something that weren't there. I dunno. Sorry for the upset guys, guess I'm a little paranoid that this party ain't gonna fly, is all." 

Beer. He needed beer. "I'm going back to the lobby, gonna go fetch my crate of bud. Don't go anywhere now, I'll be back in a beat." 

With that, he climbed back over the counter and started walking - not running, for once - back towards the lobby. He was creeped out, but he weren't about to show it. What was it his brother had said about the place? Grasping at the far recesses of his memory, he tried to dig out a story he paid no attention to at the time.
