"What?"A sudden telepathic message broke into all <strong>the</strong>ir minds, courtesy of a helpful resident of KenseltonHotel: "We don't leave until he leaves," Perry continued, gesturing at <strong>the</strong> room in which not-Tim sat."Well," not-Tim was saying into <strong>the</strong> communicator, "several people died, for starters, thanks to you. Oh;and I think some furniture got broken..."The KH rep struggled to regain some semblance of h<strong>is</strong> dignity. "Is <strong>the</strong> hostage still alive?" he asked."...Yeah, uh, we're not too sure about that," not-Tim said, randomly checking h<strong>is</strong> pulse just for fun. "Lotsof bodies lying around, and apparently some of <strong>the</strong>m aren't even dead. What's <strong>the</strong> hostage look like?""Er. Six foot one, black hair, br- DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME! THIS IS SERI-" The voice broke offas it was interrupted by a fainter one in <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tance. "What? ...WHAT D'YOU MEAN, THEY'REBREAKING OUT? ...Well, if it's just <strong>the</strong> Hulk, that's not really- wait, THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BEABLE TO GET OUT OF THERE"Rants about some moronic architect filled <strong>the</strong> speakers. <strong>Not</strong>-Tim put down <strong>the</strong> communicator andlooked up as a handful of Keanu-spawn wandered in to see what was happening."Why're you all still here?" he asked quietly."Moral support," said Johnny in a way that suggested he would ra<strong>the</strong>r be escaping with everyone else."All of you?"Johnny shrugged. "Most. Some blond kid dragged Ted away before anyone could stop <strong>the</strong>m."The KH rep hadn't turned off <strong>the</strong> connection in h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tress, and as he made a private phone call to <strong>the</strong>moronic architect he had been ranting about, everyone in Kenselton Hotel got to hear <strong>the</strong> conversation:"I SAID THAT THERE WASN'T TO BE ANY WAY OUT, YOU SON OF A-""Yeah, I know," came a lazy drawl from <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side. "But, well, fire regulations, you know. Apparentlyyou need quite a few of those for a facility that size, and <strong>the</strong>re must have been some fire somewhere in<strong>the</strong> hotel that activated <strong>the</strong> escape system-"Loud swearing filled <strong>the</strong> speakers. Several kids in Kenselton Hotel learnt some interesting new wordsthat day."Also," <strong>the</strong> architect calmly continued, "<strong>the</strong>re's also <strong>the</strong> matter of that little affair you had with my wife-""YOU TWO WERE ON A BREAK!"<strong>Not</strong>-Tim got up from <strong>the</strong> desk and went out into <strong>the</strong> corridor. Several in <strong>the</strong> room followed him out, with<strong>the</strong> notable exception of Neo, who headed straight for <strong>the</strong> computer and sat <strong>the</strong>re, just looking at <strong>the</strong>screen.He placed h<strong>is</strong> hand on <strong>the</strong> keyboard and hit several keys. A final 'Enter' shut down <strong>the</strong> computer for <strong>the</strong>last time; and The One continued sitting <strong>the</strong>re, hand gently gripping <strong>the</strong> mouse, looking somehow asthough he were fighting back tears.Kate Forster was still <strong>the</strong>re outside, quiet now as she sat by dead!Alex. <strong>Not</strong>-Tim crouched down next toher."I'm sorry.""It's not your fault."Several seconds of silence."We've got to get out of th<strong>is</strong> place," not-Tim said. "They might find a way to cut off-""Okay."
