Weneed a meeting.""Three of <strong>the</strong>m are at <strong>the</strong> bar," Conor said. "They won't be happy."**"Or sober," Alex added, but no one heard him except not-Tim, who was <strong>the</strong> only one paying attention toeveryone else."I don't care. Go get <strong>the</strong>m." Jack snapped h<strong>is</strong> fingers at Eddie and Tommy. "You two. Go getwhoever's in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r rooms.""What about <strong>the</strong> ones behind <strong>the</strong> 'No Entry' sign?""Uh... okay, not those. Just <strong>the</strong> rest."The two teens left. Seconds later, cries of, "OI, JULIAN!" filled <strong>the</strong> air.I bet th<strong>is</strong> has something to do with that explosion, Julian thought sagely. "What <strong>is</strong> it?" he asked through<strong>the</strong> locked door."Officer Traven says to get out of <strong>the</strong>re. He says <strong>the</strong>re's a meeting in fifteen minutes.""And what happens if I stay here?""Then Mr. Reeves says he'll make movie sequels in which we all die."<strong>Not</strong>-Tim blinked.

Ted never knew that that was how you spelt'd<strong>is</strong>integrate'.

"You're not taking me hostage, okay? You can't do that-""We can do whatever we want," Jack pointed out. "There are twenty-two of us in th<strong>is</strong> room and only oneof you."<strong>Not</strong>-Tim was d<strong>is</strong>appointed. "That sucks," he said.From <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side of <strong>the</strong> room, Eddie pulled out a rope from a box. "Is th<strong>is</strong> long enough?" he asked,walking over.<strong>Not</strong>-Tim looked at <strong>the</strong> rope warily and wondered just how things had come to th<strong>is</strong>, because th<strong>is</strong> wasdefinitely not a situation he had ever imagined he would be in.He shook h<strong>is</strong> head. "There has to be ano<strong>the</strong>r way.""We're sorry," Conor said. "But <strong>the</strong> best chance we have of getting back home depends on how muchyour fans want you to stay alive."
