milk, and o<strong>the</strong>r necessities...And <strong>the</strong>n something had taken him away from all that and put him in some strange place, and <strong>the</strong> onlythings familiar were <strong>the</strong> boxes of cornflakes sitting on a shelf.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim offered him some rum, and he cautiously took a swig. H<strong>is</strong> eyes lit up. He smiled, got off h<strong>is</strong>chair, and did a happy dance just as <strong>the</strong> door opened and John walked in looking for a weapon.John Constantine does not like happy dances.He likes <strong>the</strong>m even less when <strong>the</strong>y are danced by people who look like him.John glared at <strong>the</strong> cornflakes guy, took h<strong>is</strong> cigarette out of h<strong>is</strong> mouth, and flicked ash into <strong>the</strong> cornflakesbowl.The cornflakes guy broke out of <strong>the</strong> happy dance and stared in stupefaction at <strong>the</strong> bits of black ashfloating in <strong>the</strong> milk. Tears once again started making <strong>the</strong>ir way down h<strong>is</strong> face. <strong>Not</strong>-Tim mentally swore.John couldn't find a gun. He settled instead for a lightsaber which someone had stolen from ano<strong>the</strong>rfloor, and activated it and waved it around a little."Look after him," <strong>Not</strong>-Tim told <strong>the</strong> recently-entered Ted, pointing at <strong>the</strong> cornflakes guy and taking <strong>the</strong>contaminated cornflakes bowl to <strong>the</strong> sink. He emptied its contents into <strong>the</strong> trash, glared at John,washed <strong>the</strong> bowl, poured some cornflakes in, glared at John, added milk, glared at John, nearly gotsliced up by <strong>the</strong> lightsaber, and returned <strong>the</strong> new bowl to <strong>the</strong> cornflakes guy.Sat<strong>is</strong>fied with h<strong>is</strong> new weapon, John left <strong>the</strong> room, ignoring everyone. Neo followed after.Luke Skywalker searched frantically around for h<strong>is</strong> most prized possession. "Have you seen mylightsaber?" he asked, meeting Han Solo in <strong>the</strong> corridor."The Keanu-spawn took it," Han informed him."And nobody stopped <strong>the</strong>m?" Luke asked incredulously."Apparently <strong>the</strong>y know kung-fu.""<strong>Not</strong> all of <strong>the</strong>m!"**"Why take <strong>the</strong> r<strong>is</strong>k?" Han asked, <strong>the</strong>n bolted off as Indiana Jones came running down <strong>the</strong> corridor loudlydemanding h<strong>is</strong> hat back."Where are you going?" Neo asked."Finding a way out.""Jack and h<strong>is</strong> friends already tried that."**John Constantine headed for <strong>the</strong> lifts without a word. Neo followed him in as he entered one and hit <strong>the</strong>button for <strong>the</strong> top floor.Exiting <strong>the</strong> lift car, John activated <strong>the</strong> lightsaber and plunged it into a random wall, carving out a roughsquare which he kicked in.He was met with <strong>the</strong> bewildered gazes of <strong>the</strong> Brit<strong>is</strong>h Holdout group, sitting in <strong>the</strong> next room having teafor <strong>the</strong> umpteenth time that day.The Brit<strong>is</strong>h Holdout group cons<strong>is</strong>ted of Brit<strong>is</strong>h folks who had d<strong>is</strong>covered, to <strong>the</strong>ir chagrin, that <strong>the</strong> actorswho had played <strong>the</strong>m were not Brit<strong>is</strong>h, but American or Australian or Canadian or Eskimo or of someo<strong>the</strong>r barbarian nationality. Few outsiders knew just what kind of activities <strong>the</strong> Brit<strong>is</strong>h Holdout engagedin, o<strong>the</strong>r than that it involved a lot of talking in Brit<strong>is</strong>h accents, remin<strong>is</strong>cing about England, d<strong>is</strong>cussingEngl<strong>is</strong>h culture, laughing at Americans, and mostly drinking tea.
