Rodger heard the cursing and the doors slamming, as there was only one guard who could sound that way, and Rodger knew that it was Pete. Rodger figured that he was not just going to take a simple explanation that they just had to wait for Beth to come back and make do with that.
Rodger hid the chair behind the door out of sight before he could even get there. Rodger stepped back and stood against the far wall, knowing that he was going to come in and would be mad looking to take it out on him.
Rodger started to tremble as the sounds came closer, and he heard Pete at his door. Rodger started trying to reason with Pete, letting him know that he had nothing. If they needed something they needed to go out and go get her and bring her back. Or they were just going to have to wait till she recovered enough to come back.
