I ignore his first plea thinking that this is not that serious . However Phil persists politely suggesting I consider sitting against the desk on the floor , I finally succumb to his pleas and do this . Brian behind me asks Phil if he can do anything and I remember just saying , talk to me ! I put my keys and wallet in the draw behind me .

Answer: There could be a storm on the way .They are looking more closely for keys .They need to search through some drawers .None of the above choices .
