after his little adventure. He barricaded the doorwall in his room as best he could with the couch and bed and desk and armchair and tried to call the gal at the front desk, who said she'd help him with his motorcycle.

Just do it. Lock the doors, bar the windows, and batten down the hatches." He slammed down the phone, checked his weapons, and pried the brass curtain rod off the wall, testing it for heft and swing. That'll do. He opened the door, checking the hallway before looking for something else to barricade his room with.
