Silver sees no living creatures, and while he doesn't exactly know what any "device" looks like, nothing stands out as suspicious. Some folders of papers, a t-square and compass, and a wooden table that is clear underneath. The lights are, however, on in both offices.

Wooden staircase, smaller than the central stairwell and evidently only going up a single level. The walls are white, with a similar maroon colored carpet as in the exterior hallway. The stairs double back with a small landing midway. The one light is on.

The simple wooden door at the top of the stairs is closed.

It's a little hard to tell, as the door was cracked open when it was shot, and the force of the bullets hitting the door has opened it further. Silver can however see that with the exception of four small holes on the far left, presumably from Spectral Streak, the holes are concentrated on the right side of the door near the door handle and where the door opens. A trio of holes have met together, which creates one hole that is large enough to look through.

Looking at the wall behind him, Silver can see that the holes and damage on the wall are concentrated on the far right side (to the right of the door when Silver faces the door. When Silver turns around to look behind him, it is on his left).

Silver ducks halfway through the reign of bullets, which is very much a good thing, because as Silver falls. a bullet tears into Silver’s flak jacket at an angle and is stopped, which would have penetrated had it hit squarely.

One is against the wall, and seems to be looking Silver's direction, holding a Changeling style submachine gun from the last war, and the other is looking to his right, holding a Changeling-style assault rifle, and clearly limping.

Maybe 50 feet. Not very far, considering the house can act as cover. However, as the vegetation consists of a few bushes and oak trees, it may be possible to be spotted in it unless they advance far and deep.

They are very large, but all the same able to be moved.

But then Silver finds... a green pegasus, hiding among the
shelves. He bumps into a shelf, and knocks over a tripod as Silver approaches.

He turns to the can, and looks down to it.

Silver holds a hoof out to try to calm the pegasus.

"Hey, hey, hey, do not worry."

Amber now makes a break for the front door, hoping not to be seen.

The front door, or the rear door?

Is the way to the front door clear?

That one is presumably clear, as no officer has yet entered that way.

Amber goes to the back entrance and looks around before darting out around the house.

Amber can tell that officers are approaching to close the exit at the rear of the house. But waiting won't change that fact.

Amber proceeds with the plan anyway. Is there a part of the first floor that juts out farther than the second?

Sort of - a couple windows, and a small porch on the rear

Amber circles around to the porch–assuming the police don't see her–and flies to the roof, lying down so as not to be seen.
