Pajamas required

I can safely say, after 15 years innkeeping, this has only happened once.

We were retiring to bed one evening. We had two rooms of guests that night, an older couple in one room, and a young one in another. Shortly after turning off the lights, The cellphone rang, and Tom answered it. On the the other end of the line, was the panicked sounding elder gentleman. "This is Bob from the Inverness room!!" He spluttered "There was a naked man in my room!!" "WHAT???" gasped Tom, inwardly wishing he did just about anything else for a living at that moment. "I'll be right there!!"

He turned on the lights and checked each area on the way toward the older couple's room. As he passed the younger couple's room, he noticed the door was slightly open, but the lights were out. He detected a slight movement in the bed, but did not disturb the couple. He reached the Inverness room and knocked.

The man did not want to open the door at first. Eventually, he cracked it open to explain what had happened.. He had been in the shower, when he heard his wife, who was in bed, scream "what are you doing in here!?"  He ran out of the bath to find a fully naked man, cowering behind  a wicker chair, looking as shocked and horrified as his wife did. He asked the man "Who are you? What are you doing in my room?"  And the man blurted out "Security!" And ran from the room.

At this point, he locked the door, and had called my husband. He had been hesitant to open the door, because they had not met Tom earlier, it was I who had shown them to their room. He thought the naked man might indeed be the innkeeper, checking on the "security" of his establishment.

The younger couple were gone by daybreak, and did not join us for breakfast in the morning. As we discussed it again over breakfast, I regretfully noticed the lady still seemed shaken. We all concluded, based on the equal surprise of the young man, that he must have been a sleepwalker. The husband declared he would never again forget to lock the door, no matter how safe and comfortable he felt. And we hoped that wherever he was, the sleepwalker had become fully committed to pajama pants!
