Door Quote by Dirk Patton
““To either side of the immediate area were two exit doors, both with alarmed crash bars on them to prevent someone from opening them without setting off a siren unless they had a key. Using my Ka-Bar, I popped the cover off the one to my right and cut the wires leading from the battery, then slapped the housing back in place.””
