There was another knock at the door.
"Miss? It's ok to open the door."
Caitlin pulled the metal bar over into the locking position and opened the door. She peered through the gap. There were two more men outside now. One was huge.
"Miss? I've been told to tell you that the Dormouse sent us as part of your security detail."
"OK..." She whimpered. She reached up to pull the little doorstop back when she noticed a tiny red dot tracking along the wall towards her. She'd seen enough movies to know what it was and dove to the floor...
The noise was quiet. Two "Pock, pock" noises, the gentle tinkle of glass from the window, and a shower of plaster dust from the wall. Then the door exploded as the huge black guy tore it off its hinges and barreled into the room.
Then all hell broke loose, as whoever was firing switched over to fully automatic. Caitlin screamed as the window to the room shattered, showering everything in tiny cubes of, sharp, safety glass. The man, on his knees, reached across with one huge arm and scooped her up as if she weighed nothing.
Then she was outside.
