arrator: Appleberry's night at the Pauma Hotel started off calm and peaceful until he made a simple call to the front desk about getting a wakeup call at first light. Minutes later, Appleberry started to hear heavy foot traffic outside of his room door. He got up off the bed to check on what all of the commotion was about. When he looked through the peep hole he saw a lot of agents stacking alongside the walls preparing for a breach. Appleberry ran to the dresser beside the bed to retrieve The Rolly from his holster then shuffled quietly back to the door. He peeked out again and saw agents lined up on both sides of his door and across the hallway.

AB: "Time for action Rolly. Are you ready? I don't know what these agents want, but they're about to get all kinds of problem if they come into here."

Narrator: Appleberry connected a detonator cord to the door and started the barricade himself from inside the room. He heard the agents outside as they began to knock on doors telling everyone that they need to evacuate because they was a dangerous murderer in the hall. Suddenly there was a knock at Appleberry's room. Appleberry crouched behind his barricade and aimed The Rolly at the door, ready to fire upon whoever was to come through the door. Once again, the agents knocked on Appleberry's room door. One of the agents spoke out and said that the room was empty. Captain Krost looked down at the manifest to see if the room was unoccupied.

Captain Krost: "No, that room is occupied. It says it right here on the manifest. Now get that person out of there."

Narrator: Appleberry heard their conversation in the hallway and decided that the threat they're looking for isn't him. He eased to the door to unhook the detonator cord from it. Then he cracked the door to see what the agents have to say. Captain Krost approached the door to get a good look at Appleberry.

Captain Krost: "It's not him. What's your name? Did you not here us knocking at your door?"

Appleberry: "The name is Appleberry. What can I do for you?"

Captain Krost: "You need to evacuate sir. There's a dangerous man in this hall that we're pursuing. He's an explosive expert. We think that he may even have this floor wired with them. So we need you to evacuate now sir."

AB: "Dangerous, that sounds scary. I wonder who he is. Let me gather my personal items. Which one of these rooms is he occupying? "

Captain Krost: "His name is Rapizo. He's a dangerous explosive expert from Caulderland. He's in the room at the far end of this hall. Now sir, you need to evacuate your room now."

Narrator: Appleberry closed the door, turned and gathered his belongings. All while doing this, he contemplated on how saving Rapizo might be beneficial for him.

AB: "What do you think we should do Rolly? We could use a guy like this to get into Clifre Uberi mansion. Damn fool, he probably doesn't even realize that they're coming for him either. We could save him Rolly, before they bust in and kill him."

Narrator: Appleberry walked over to the window and climbed out to the ledge. He jumped on top of the fire rails and shimmied himself along the side until he reached Rapizo's room. He quietly climbed over the fire rails and peeked into the window. Rapizo was sound asleep with the television on, unaware of the agents outside of his door. Appleberry tried to open the window but it was locked. He peeked in and saw that someone was trying to enter into Rapizo's room by turning the knob. Appleberry knew that he needed to do something drastic if he wanted to save Rapizo from sudden capture. The agents on the other side of the room door were preparing to breach the door with full force. Appleberry grabbed a flash bang from his side and decided to burst through the window just as the agents were making their entrance. As the agents stormed through the door Appleberry burst through the window. He threw the flash band at the door and knocked the agents backwards. Rapizo jumped up and grabbed for his weapon.
