To my understanding, most office buildings only allow you to enter every 2-3 floors or so from the stairs. It has something to do with fire codes. Maybe the door on the third floor is labeled "No Entry" and therefore locked, preventing the girls from taking the stairs.
Wasn't the parade last Sunday?
