The air horn blasted again, and Dimitri pushed himself up to the window. The opaque covering over the porthole only let light in and completely obstructed his view to the outside. Dimitri needed to figure out how to remove the covering, but it was thick and secured with a strong adhesive. He began to scratch at an edge with his fingernail, trying to pry an area off, but wasn’t making any progress. Dimitri got off the bed and searched the room for anything sharp that he could use as a tool. The room was completely empty of any objects, and the desk containing his belongings had been emptied. He sank heavily into the edge of the bed as an idea sprang into his head. Dimitri shifted onto the floor with a wince of pain and lay down on his back. He used his strong leg to push himself under the bed until he spotted what he was after. The bed had a flimsy mattress, but the frame itself was made up of springs that ran across the metal bed frame. He shoved himself farther under the bed until he could get his foot on the opposite side. He flexed at his hip with as much force as he could muster to loosen one of the springs tension. The bed creaked as he kept his leg flexed, and Dimitri used his hand to release one of the springs from its hole. It sprung violently as it came loose. He carefully released his leg and coerced the spring from its hole on the other end.
