"Name?""Jack Traven."Fhille hit a bunch of keys and scanned through the results on the computer screen. "Yeah, you're listedhere. Oh, you killed someone today. That's bad, that is.""It was an accident!""Mmm. I doubt that mattered to Alexander Wyler. He came in a while ago. Nice chap. ...Okay, it sayshere that you apparently saved two lives when you died, names Keanu Charles Reeves and Thomas A.*Anderson-"(Fhille squinted at the footnote: "* no one knows what the 'A' stands for.")"Yeah," she continued, "looks like that act saved you from your initial fate of being boiled in a pot ofbolognaise sauce for eternity. And... er, yeah, that's it. Looks like they accidentally deleted the rest ofyour life's history prior to this week. It's been happening a lot lately since IBHA decided to move all ourcomputers onto Windows Vista...""IBHA?" Jack asked."Isolated Bubble of Hyperspace Afterlife," Fhille explained. "We don't normally get much business, atleast not until recently when that hotel thing opened up. So the administration's kind of shoddy. That'swhy that floor there is always wet, see-""What's going to happen to me?" Jack interrupted."Sheesh. Relax, dude. There's no hurry. Er... yeah; says here that you're getting spared from the potof sauce, and instead you're gonna get... uh, reincarnated as Alex's dog. Yep. 'Cause you killed himand all, see..."Jack spluttered. "What?"Fhille sighed. "Don't worry, I'm sure he's a good master. Just go to that room over there and wait.Unless of course you prefer the eternal bolognaise..."Jack didn't prefer the eternal bolognaise. He went along like a good boy.Neo knew that there were times when it was best not to speak."Thanks," not-Tim said quietly when they were both safely back on the roof and sitting on its edge, Neostudiously avoiding the other's gaze and acknowledging the gratitude with a simple nod.More awkward silence followed as they looked out into the void, the steps to freedom no longer there."What do we do now?" not-Tim asked.Neo finally looked at him, then looked away again.Eventually, not-Tim got to his feet and went over to the opening that led back down to Block F. Hemade his way down the steps of boxes. Neo followed after him some distance back; speeding upslightly towards the lift as not-Tim held the door open for him.The descended towards the fourth floor."What do I tell them?" Neo asked after several seconds of silence.Not-Tim hesitated. "If you tell them that I'm still in here, they'll try to get me out. But they might leaveyou behind." A pause. "Just see if you can find out what the situation's like out there."Neo nodded.**
