Viktre went downstairs and opened the door.  Mr. Roberts shoved back in, only getting past Viktre as he was surprised by the action.  Inside the door, Viktre pushed Mr. Roberts to the wall.  "Chto eto?"  He nearly growls at the older gentleman.

Mr. Roberts pushed the Russian back.  "Where is the lass?  What have you done with her?"  He looked around.  He was worried about Pippa and about how Douglas would react if anything had happened to the young woman.  There was a scramble between English and Russian.  Viktre thinking this man was there to hurt Pip and Mr. Roberts thinking the same of Viktre.  The voices got louder and it began look like it would come to a brutal fight as both thought they were protecting Pip.
