he was pretty sure was a broken nose. He used h<strong>is</strong> right forearm to wipe blood and tears somewhatunsuccessfully off h<strong>is</strong> face. Down <strong>the</strong> corridor, Alex smeared popcorn grease off on h<strong>is</strong> jeans andrushed over."Hey, you okay?"Jesse thought of saying, "Do I look okay?" but didn't, because if he opened h<strong>is</strong> mouth blood would go in,and he was nei<strong>the</strong>r hungry nor a vampire."You shouldn't have gone in <strong>the</strong>re," Alex said a little too late, indicating <strong>the</strong> closed door. "We keep 'embolted in <strong>the</strong>re for a reason... Ted?""Yeah?""Get a piece of paper, write 'No Entry' on it, and stick it on th<strong>is</strong> door. I'm taking him up to <strong>the</strong> hospital.""Sure, dude," Ted said. "Why don't you ask Dr. Mercer for help?""I think he's asleep."Ted ambled out of <strong>the</strong> supply room minutes later with a piece of paper with 'No Entry' written on it. Helooked around, trying to figure out which door it was that he was supposed to stick <strong>the</strong> sign on. There'sonly one way to find out, he decided with a shrug, unbolting <strong>the</strong> nearest door and peeking in.Neo's reflexes kicked in just in time to yank Ted away to safety and slam <strong>the</strong> door shut. Grimacing, hestruggled with <strong>the</strong> wiggling door handle and shot <strong>the</strong> bolt back home. Someone on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side kicked<strong>the</strong> door. Neo heard swearing and mutterings of, "so much for lunch.""Give me <strong>the</strong> sign."Ted passed it over along with <strong>the</strong> scotchtape, and Neo taped it firmly to <strong>the</strong> door. No entry."What happened in <strong>the</strong>re?" Alex asked as <strong>the</strong>y entered <strong>the</strong> stairwell.Hand still clamped over what he hoped was still sufficiently h<strong>is</strong> nose, Jesse Walker made severalincoherent no<strong>is</strong>es and gave up trying to talk.He remembered hands grabbing hold of him and yanking him into <strong>the</strong> room <strong>the</strong> moment he'd opened<strong>the</strong> door; camera dropping from h<strong>is</strong> hands and hitting <strong>the</strong> ground, someone slamming <strong>the</strong> door shutagain, and a sharp box to h<strong>is</strong> face as he'd tried to struggle out of h<strong>is</strong> captor's grip..."Don't kill him, Donnie. <strong>Not</strong> yet."The voice had come from <strong>the</strong> upper bunk bed in <strong>the</strong> room, where David Allen Griffin lay smiling at <strong>the</strong>ceiling."Let me go!"**Griffin laughed. "What did you expect would happen when you opened that door? Mr. Jack Traven andh<strong>is</strong> friends keep us locked in here for a reason.""You killed <strong>the</strong>m!" Jesse yelled. "Jonathan, and Eddie...""Yeah," Griffin admitted. "I was bored. What did <strong>the</strong>y do with <strong>the</strong> bodies, anyway? I never got <strong>the</strong>chance to ask."Jesse vaguely remembered a group named Soylent Green assuring <strong>the</strong>m that <strong>the</strong>y would take care ofeverything."What do you want with me?" Jesse asked instead.Griffin rolled over on <strong>the</strong> bunk to face <strong>the</strong> teen down below. "<strong>Not</strong>hing. You're <strong>the</strong> one who came inhere, after all. Of course, it would be great if you could ask your friend Jack to let us out of here. It'sgetting a little... claustrophobic."
