> Ignore the noise and continue on with what you were doing.

You don't have time for this. You've got to find Jack. You ignore the noises coming from the front room even as they become more insistent.

It's time to deal with this mattress and get out of here. The air is becoming progressively thicker with the smell. Something is very wrong in here. You firmly grasp the mattress and shift it aside. Underneath there is a small compartment in the floor.



The rapping in the front room has stopped. The sound of splintering wood has replaced it. You're pretty sure you didn't lock the door. Clearly, someone forgot to check the knob.

There's nothing extraordinary in the compartment, a Luger, a small stash of rock, and a few papers. The paper's contain nothing interesting except for one which has an address and what you guess is a password. A little too convenient, you're suspicious but add the address to your inventory anyways. You leave the rest. Robbing Donny's clients without permission is a good way to get yourself killed.

A loud crash echoes throughout the apartment from the front room. Whoever was at the front door has gotten tired of waiting. Dammit, there's no ignoring it anymore, you're going to need to deal with this.

> See if you can get a look at them without being seen.

Whoever it is, they're not very stealthy. You can hear them slamming into walls and furniture. It's hard to stay unseen when half of the walls have holes in them, but you think you manage pretty well. You take a quick look through one of the numerous windows carved in the walls.



No wonder this guy is slamming into everything. You watch with some amusement as he runs full tilt into a wall, bounces off and immediately changes direction, running full speed into another. You'd crack a smile if you could. The guy reminds you of a confused insect, flying into walls over and over again trying to find a way out.

He's clearly out of it, hopped up on something. You're not sure what you're worried about. Anyone living out here is a nobody. No one gives a shit about break ins. Shit, you could probably burn the place to the ground and no one would mention it.

You begin walking towards the front room, careful to avoid the rampaging man. As you pass, the man slows and then stops. He stands in the center of the room, dead still.

Nope, you don't got time for this. He was kind of funny before, but now he's just standing there. As soon as you begin moving towards the front room, he begins moving again. He sprints straight at you, forcing you to jump out of the way and away from the door. He bounces off the wall, and immediately comes at you again.

Hide under the mattress!

You run back into the apartment, but as soon as you cross the doorway that smell hits you again. You stumble backwards gagging. How in god's name has that smell gotten even worse? You can almost see it now in the air. There's no way you can re-enter the room. You're not going to be able to hide in there. The man continues to sprint towards you, bouncing off of walls and stumbling over loose debris. What will you do?
