Detente for the Thief

Benny sat in the cheap hotel room waiting for a knock at the door.

The knock came, hammering at his heart. Louder and more forceful. The door threatened to give, as he pushed the cheap old bureau against it, hearing the shouting on the other side become more violent. He remembered the guy at the desk ask him if he needed "something to get you through the night." Turns out he did. Benny waited for the knocking to stop.
