Deep within his mind, which is a jumble of unexpected panic at what he saw and anger laced vulgarity, but Josh quickly recovers, scrambling to his feet and securing himself like the combat veteran he is, opening the door and rushing to meet his ascending companions.
"No worries, ladies, I just tripped over my own self," shouts Josh before he lowers his voice to a level that only the two male associates will hear. "You're not gonna believe what I saw across the way."
"I hope I am wrong," says Josh to Jack and Fouad. "But, I have seen some terrible things in my life and I think I just saw something as bad, or worse."
With a short pause, Josh steadies himself and relates the events that he just saw, including the potentially grizzly detail of what caused his fall. But, he will only relate this, for the moment, to the two male companions who just rushed upstairs. If any of the ladies come up, he will hold relating the details.
