Talk About You and Me, and The Games People Play
In bizarre fashion, students were forced off their workstations and to abandon their work and personal belongings in haste to evacuate the Learning Grid within the university grounds. Students, most not speaking English left in a haze of confusion as security personnel dispatched to usher them out.
As people working within the building were evacuated in a stream and as people spoke, it seemed like a new threat has arose in the building that is the University House. Two suspect bags tied to a table were to blame for this chaos, as 2 students suspicious of its origins behaved strangely and alerted the officials within the building. Within minutes, the area was sealed off and evacuated. A potential bomb was identified and cordoned off...
Squeals of panic and disbelief surrounded the building as people and bystanders were evacuated across the road and beyond the carpark. Confused drivers slowed down and wondered what was going on.
“Oh, I wasn’t sure… it could have been anything”
“Could it have been my bag, will they blow it up?!”
“Hey, I know the bag… it belongs to xxxxx”
"My sandwich is still in there!!!"
Like a brigade, each and every student armed with a cell phone started making calls alerting their loved ones, and friends. As emergency services (3 police vehicles) rushed to the scene, a confused South Asian student came forward uttering “It’s mine, I know… I left it there this morning”
To cut the story short, our suspect left the suspected baggage filled with books locked to a table for security. A duffel bag with books and a laptop were suspected though students tried convincing security that it belonged to Mr. xxxx. What’s ironic were the contents of the bag. Upon opening, an academic paper only with the title visible entitled “Selling Suicide” was found. On top of it was a return ticket from Coventry to Leeds (the city where the first 4 suicide bombers lived). The coincidence is uncanny, but the location left much to be desired… a deserted campus in the middle of nowhere, Coventry, city of peace and reconciliation (yeah, right!)
