Road didn't care about Tyki letting her go in ahead of him. Tyki was supposed to be her minder, but he wasn't the one in charge, or the more dangerous. Not unless you really upset him, anyway. When Tyki pulled out the stops he could be nasty.

She all but skipped inside, entering with a cheery, carefree air about her. There was a small vestibule, like a chokepoint, that once upon a time would have throttled incoming forces and allowed anyone inside time to move. Now, she thought, it probably kept some of the bigger monsters from breaking in.
It would also bottleneck anyone rushing out to defend.
Beyond that was an entrance hall. The feel of a dozen different kinds of monster lingered in the air within, and all of them were people shaped.
