Spencer kept his cool, the key sliding into the lock and turning smoothly. He shoved the door open and turned to face the creature, one hand sweeping Emily into his apartment. "Get in, go straight down the hall."
He waited until she was clear of the door before stepping through it and closing the door behind him, he shot the bolts he'd never used before, turned the lock and then turned to follow her. Catching up with Emily, he guided her through the lounge towards the fire escape and grabbed his cellphone on the way past. "If it comes in, we go out and down ok? I would abseil it, but I wouldn't risk you right now."
