[Arthur doesn't really trust the kid, since her last innocent act landed him with a hit to the balls. So he waits for Paddy to be in position, then he moves to the other side of the door, back pressed against the wall. No way was he going to stand in the immediate line of fire. He reached out and jerked the doorknob with his hand, opening the door just slightly, before swapping to use the pool cue to push it the rest of the way open. Bonus? He could use it to keep some distance between the kid and himself.]
