Question
How did the three men react to the knocking at the door?
Solution
Fowler jumped at the sudden knocking at the door. Ausable smiled and said it must be the police who he had asked to check on him to ensure a little extra protection. Max bit his lip nervously. He rushed to the window so that he could hide in the balcony and come back after some time.
