The window. [There's one close, smashed, a hole in the center surrounded by jagged glass spikes. Koby tugs off his jacket, wrapping it around his fist, his arm, then quickly, methodically, starting to punch at the glass so it breaks further, widening the hole enough that they could slip through without gouging themselves too much. It's slow going, the glass thick, tempered, and he's soon sweating -- both from the exertion and the approaching fire.] Let me -- know when it looks -- big enough.
