Kathy's apartment was small and sparsely furnished. The front door opened into a small alcove, where a bare full-size mattress rested against the front door. As soon as they were all inside, Kathy fastened all the locks and then pushed the mattress over so it fell over onto the floor, its bottom edge less than an inch away from the door.
There was a living room with a couch, a TV and a DVD player, though the amount of dust over both showed they didn't get much use. The kitchen was small, barely big enough to fit a card table and a single chair in it. There was a door that led to a balcony outside, facing the Big Wall, but it was locked and the blinds shut. Someone - Kathy - had taken duct tape to the back of them, ensuring they could never be opened, even accidentally.
The bathroom was normal, if small, though there were several knives in homemade cardboard sheathes duct taped to the wall, and two more inside the shower, above the spray line.
The bedroom had a bureau next to the door where it could be easily pushed against it and an empty box spring on the floor. A lamp was plugged in next to the closet, where a small nest of blankets and several more knives could be seen, taped to the wall just at hand height for someone lying prone.
"Uhh, here it is," Kathy said, uneasily, knowing the state of her current living quarters said more about her state of mind than she probably liked. "It's gonna be a squeeze to keep all of us here, but we should fit."
