"We've got to get him to a hospital," Julian told Alex.Winston ran into <strong>the</strong> dining area, pointing back in <strong>the</strong> direction of <strong>the</strong> TV. "You need to see th<strong>is</strong>," hesaid.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim shoved <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> pizza slice into h<strong>is</strong> mouth and went over to look.**"They've been caught," Winston said, as on <strong>the</strong> screen <strong>the</strong> news showed <strong>the</strong> raiding party, unconsciousand being carried into vans.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim swore."...will be taken to join <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> escapees in a specially-constructed holding facility at-"<strong>Not</strong>-Tim grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled down <strong>the</strong> address."...while it <strong>is</strong> decided what to do with <strong>the</strong>m."<strong>Not</strong>-Tim returned to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs. "Neo," he said. "Let's go bust <strong>the</strong>m out. Paul, you're in charge. Don'tlet anybody in, and don't let anybody kill anybody.""I thought Alex and Julian took <strong>the</strong> car," Neo said.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim grinned. "We're not taking <strong>the</strong> car."Neo decided that he definitely did not like motorbikes. He wondered what Trinity saw in <strong>the</strong>m."All right back <strong>the</strong>re?" not-Tim yelled as <strong>the</strong>y sped dangerously through traffic on <strong>the</strong> Norton.Neo decided that opening h<strong>is</strong> mouth to answer would mean throwing up on not-Tim, so he settled forgrabbing on tighter and w<strong>is</strong>hing that <strong>the</strong>y could slow down.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim rode <strong>the</strong>m away from <strong>the</strong> protesting crowds near <strong>the</strong> main entrance and came to a haltsomewhere around <strong>the</strong> back. Neo stumbled off and promptly threw up h<strong>is</strong> lunch."...Sorry," not-Tim said guiltily.Neo leant against <strong>the</strong> wall and looked sick and dizzy and not in <strong>the</strong> mood to do kung fu."When you're ready, just let me know."Neo sank down into <strong>the</strong> grass and buried h<strong>is</strong> head in h<strong>is</strong> hands.The supply room never failed. Alex located needle and thread and sc<strong>is</strong>sors and a forgotten bottle ofrum and ran back to Julian with <strong>the</strong>m.****"Thanks," Julian said, unspooling some thread, cutting off a length of it and sticking an end through <strong>the</strong>eye of <strong>the</strong> needle. "All right," he told Griffin. "I could tell you th<strong>is</strong> won't hurt, but that would be a lie. Justtry not to scream too much."Julian looked resignedly at <strong>the</strong> rum, <strong>the</strong>n slopped it over Griffin's wr<strong>is</strong>t. Dried blood washed off into <strong>the</strong>carpet; fresh red welled up in <strong>the</strong> cut. Julian splashed rum over h<strong>is</strong> own hand and needle and thread inquick steril<strong>is</strong>ation that probably wasn't that effective but would have to do for now. He tied a knot in <strong>the</strong>free end of <strong>the</strong> string. He held <strong>the</strong> gash on Griffin's wr<strong>is</strong>t close with one hand, tried not to think abouthow much it looked just like h<strong>is</strong>, and poked <strong>the</strong> needle through <strong>the</strong> flesh and out <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side.Griffin grit h<strong>is</strong> teeth and bit down a scream."Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> just to close it for now," Julian said, sliding <strong>the</strong> needle in again. "If I leave it like that it'll probablyget infected and <strong>the</strong> blood will pool into a clot and you may lose at least your hand and you may die."
