Having spent <strong>the</strong> past few days with random people who had been attempting to crawl <strong>the</strong>ir way upsidedown out of Kenselton Hotel to look for generators, Jack Traven finally returned to <strong>the</strong> fourth floor andwas greeted at <strong>the</strong> common room door by <strong>the</strong> sound of exploding rum, followed by a burst of angryyelling, ringing alarms, and running feet."Hijack," said a m<strong>is</strong>cellaneous teenager whose face was covered with exploded rum. "Welcome home.""WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?""All right," Conor said. "You kids put out that fire, clear up th<strong>is</strong> mess, and get out. NOW!""It was h<strong>is</strong> idea," Jesse said, pointing at Tommy as Matt grabbed a cup, filled it up with water and tossed<strong>the</strong> liquid at <strong>the</strong> flames."You trust a guy with a tinfoil hat?"Tommy looked sad and m<strong>is</strong>understood. He decided that it might not be <strong>the</strong> best time to remind <strong>the</strong>mthat he no longer had h<strong>is</strong> tinfoil hat with him. He got down on <strong>the</strong> floor and helped Eddie pick up <strong>the</strong>shards of broken glass."Some help with <strong>the</strong> fire?" Matt asked testily, giving <strong>the</strong>m a glare and throwing ano<strong>the</strong>r m<strong>is</strong>erable cupfulof water at <strong>the</strong> conflagration.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim handed him <strong>the</strong> fire extingu<strong>is</strong>her. Matt looked at him, muttered a brief thanks, <strong>the</strong>n took <strong>the</strong> fireextingu<strong>is</strong>her, opened a spray of white stuff on <strong>the</strong> young fire and put an end to its once-prom<strong>is</strong>ing future.The alarms shut up.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim joined in <strong>the</strong> task of getting <strong>the</strong> glass bits off <strong>the</strong> floor."Don't try to make Molotov cocktails again, okay?" he suggested.Tommy gave him a fearful glance, edged away from him and w<strong>is</strong>hed desperately that he still had h<strong>is</strong>tinfoil hat, h<strong>is</strong> trembling fingers struggling to capture a small glass shard.Ted meanwhile was just happy that <strong>the</strong> explosion had finally drawn not-Tim out of <strong>the</strong> broom cupboard,where things had been getting most heinously boring. He went off to find Neo, whom he eventuallyd<strong>is</strong>covered sitting at <strong>the</strong> computer doing what looked like important work."Why do all those smiley faces keep dying?" Ted asked."Go away," Neo said.**There were steps forming, inexplicably, in <strong>the</strong> darkness – black steps, practically inv<strong>is</strong>ible in <strong>the</strong>ir pathfrom Block F to <strong>the</strong> barest crack of light that marked <strong>the</strong> location of <strong>the</strong> door. It wasn't <strong>the</strong> only door, asJohn soon saw – <strong>the</strong> roof of each block had a similar backdoor exit, steps material<strong>is</strong>ing between eachand <strong>the</strong> roof.He got on <strong>the</strong> steps and made h<strong>is</strong> way up.The door was a little stiff (and also an interdimensional portal), but a good kick burst it open and Johnsuddenly found himself blinking in <strong>the</strong> sunlight in a dingy-looking back alley, out for <strong>the</strong> first time in <strong>the</strong>real world.
