There's a bit of a delay, then from the other side of the door:

You hear clattering inside and a bit of a commotion.

By the sounds of the activity inside, you suspect he's not behind the door any more.

It takes substantially less than the horse you apply, and the door splits vertically down the middle. Inside you see the cetral corridor of a fairly grubby and very identikit Suburbia apartment. Clattering is and hysterical shouting is coming from the door at the other end of the short corridor.

I wonder if he has connections to those gangers that Grimmie spooked? I bet he thinks we're coming to arrest him.

Briony is in bed, backed to the wall and wide-eyed with terror. Mauro is half out of the window, also looking pretty scared.

Shh. It's not important, it's for cinematic effect.
Did I say that somewhere?

iirc one of the previous buildings we went to had windows that didn't open. I figured it was like some real world buildings where the higher up windows didn't open but the ground level ones did. Or, you know, it could just be that this is a different building, so has different windows

I think Roman's either gone insane, or has forgotten how to use quote tags.

I'd say most windows don't open - the weather's always shit on Mort so there's no need. However, occasionally there'll be a fire exit or something and the window will open onto that. Mort architecture is described as having lots of catwalks and fire escapes and things, as well as larger suspended walkways. Anyway, back to the point.

There's an Oyster on a table on the other side of the room, sitting on top of a few files.
