Griffin made sure that the bedroom was secure. Dr Kemp assured him that he would not turn him in. Griffin then went off to sleep in his house. Dr Kemp was still in doubt, but the Invisible Man was an undeniable fact. He tried to reason if such a thing was even possible. He had earlier thought that the story was a mere fabrication and nothing else. He could not sleep. Griffin had taken over his bedroom. He searched the newspapers to find more facts than Griffin had given. The top story was about the dangerous Invisible Man. He also found about his little accomplice, Marvel. He understood that Griffin was murderous. The servants woke up and Dr Kemp asked for breakfast to be laid for two and asked them to stay away from his room. He was going through a dilemma. He wanted to inform someone about his presence, but then he had also given Griffin his word. He wrote a note for Colonel Adye. Just then Griffin woke up and Dr Kemp heard a tumbler being smashed. He rushed upstairs to check on Griffin.
