The attackers are indeed too shocked to notice the woman making her way inside the apartment. Ghost Rider stalks down the hall, his boots thumping slowly but surely toward the criminals.

Two of the men push a third outside the door and slam it, leaving the man at the mercy of the Spirit of Vengeance.

"Hey, I don't even know these assholes, man! Don't hurt me!" the man screams.

This one did not seem guilty and so Ghost Rider ignores him.

Inside the apartment, the men are scrambling around for weapons, anything they can find to keep themselves from whatever that /thing/ outside is.

CRUNCH!

The door is kicked off its hinges and the Rider stands in the doorway, looking for the others.

"Surrender now and face judgement. Fight and the pain your pain will be unending." he said into the apartment as he stepped inside, looking about.

Two of the men swing at Ghost Rider with pipes, hoping to slow him down.

They are both summarily tossed across the room and /through/ the window leading into the alley. They do not move once they hit the floor.
