I pay attention to everything. Suddenly remembering that suspicious looking button he saw on the wall coming down the stairs, Kent realizes proudly what it must be for. With a swift kick to the button on his right, Kent enables automatic lock to the basement door. Now the goons will be locked out. This is between
