IC: Andrei's Apartment

[Raiko]

The fire escape isn't too difficult to climb, the ladder is only between the second story and the ground, above that is a traditional 'zig-zag' metal staircase. The snow does make it a little slippery though.

As Thomas approaches the door into the fifth floor, he can see that somebody has used a crowbar to force it open.

"Lights up, Andreï!" whispers Thomas, as he quickly moves beside the door and stands as close to the wall as possible, so that anyone leaving through the door will not notice him at first... making it possible to take the first person to go out by surprise if needed. Thomas keeps his pistol ready in his pocket but does not take it out for now.
