"It doesn't look good," Julian said.Then <strong>the</strong> sound of helicopter gunfire raked through <strong>the</strong> air."Get back in!" Conor yelled, but no one save <strong>the</strong> suicidal needed to be told, pushing into <strong>the</strong> corridor, allKeanu-spawn at first until <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> earlier-out crowd caught up, shoving to get into what looked like<strong>the</strong> only escape-Orders yelled through megaphones; something about ceasing fire because <strong>the</strong>re were civilians about, tojust focus on King Kong because he was big and trying to eat everyone dressed in yellow, and waseveryone l<strong>is</strong>tening oh crap no one was l<strong>is</strong>tening to him man h<strong>is</strong> job sucked and no one cared anymoreand he might just as well sit in a corner and wear guyliner and cut himself-And <strong>the</strong>n a switch was flipped somewhere at Kenselton HQ, and <strong>the</strong> corridor changed.They were in <strong>the</strong> void again, only th<strong>is</strong> time with no rooftops in sight, just a strange, shifting black massbeneath <strong>the</strong>ir feet that suddenly started to crack, separating <strong>the</strong>m and drifting apart; people at <strong>the</strong>doorways coming to a sudden stop as <strong>the</strong>y saw no more reliable floor to step on, <strong>the</strong> momentum of <strong>the</strong>shoving crowd none<strong>the</strong>less causing several to fall over and into <strong>the</strong> void-Tommy doing a running jump away from strangers towards one of <strong>the</strong> three groups of h<strong>is</strong> floormates,grabbing Shane for support as he landed, pulling both of <strong>the</strong>m down, but still safe; Eddie Talbot too farfrom any of <strong>the</strong>m on an <strong>is</strong>land of h<strong>is</strong> own, people yelling at him to jump; h<strong>is</strong> attempted starts, <strong>the</strong>npanicked stops as <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>tance grew from two metres to three, <strong>the</strong>n four, and it was too far to jump and<strong>the</strong> teen could only just stand <strong>the</strong>re looking desperately towards <strong>the</strong>m as he drifted away into <strong>the</strong>darkness-An unexpected bright green anti-Shakespeare robot appearing out of nowhere, accompanied byscreams that <strong>the</strong>y wondered about until Hamlet and Don John were sucked up into <strong>the</strong> belly of <strong>the</strong> botand taken away goodness knows where, but th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> kind of thing that happens when <strong>the</strong> InfiniteImprobability Drive <strong>is</strong> turned on, and I can't write Shakespeare anyway so I'm not complaining-And <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> black <strong>is</strong>lands started d<strong>is</strong>appearing with <strong>the</strong> people on <strong>the</strong>m, winking out of sight secondsapart from each o<strong>the</strong>r, as <strong>the</strong> previous residents of Kenselton Hotel were hit by <strong>the</strong> sensation ofinterdimensional travel, felt only once before and hoped to only feel again with home as <strong>the</strong> destination.Somewhere in Kenselton HQ, someone cursed. "WHO OPENED UP ALL THE PORTALS AND THENLEFT FOR THE BATHROOM?"Somewhere in Kenselton HQ, someone hit a hurried selection of computer keys and buttons.The winking out stopped. But <strong>the</strong>re were only <strong>the</strong> dregs left, <strong>the</strong> majority of people all gone, and Eddiereal<strong>is</strong>ing that he was <strong>the</strong> only one of h<strong>is</strong> floor still around in <strong>the</strong> void- And <strong>the</strong>n he saw <strong>the</strong> rooftop ofKenselton Hotel, Block C, material<strong>is</strong>e just below him and jumped down in relief at finding steady groundagain.Some o<strong>the</strong>rs were less lucky.But we don't care about <strong>the</strong>m.
