Ray stands near the front door peering out the window, obviously searching for the police. At the top of the stairs, Randy moves quickly towards the back. Most likely a panic room would be in the bedroom, perhaps concealed in the closet. Alan and Julia's bedroom is large and luxurious, with a wide selection of art and antiques from periods and cultures far beyond Randy's meager knowledge.
