Is it correct the question and answer

Hello teachers,
Eva Hine put the phone down and looked at Felix angrily. ‘Forget Dinon’s escape from prison. Get out there and find him. And bring him back dead or alive!’
At the door Felix turned and looked at her. ‘Dead?’ he asked slowly.
‘Dead men can’t talk. Now go!’
My question:
What did Felix do at the door and what did he ask?
At the door, Felix turned and looked at Eva Hine (her) and asked 'dead?'

Thanks in advance.

Tenacious Learner What did Felix do at the door This sounds wrong. The writer can write "at the door" at the beginning of that sentence as, let's say, a "special effect", to place Felix somewhere in the room, but you can't throw that into your question like that. In the given context, "do at the door" might sound like a mistake for "do to the door".

sorry I couldn't get the point. Are Eva Hine and Felix responsible for the protection of the prison?
