Synopsis:
Webster, a Geotroniks security operative, is ordered to find the Russian Sergei Antonov. He uses one of Doctor Fulton's psychics to locate the man aboard a train headed to London Paddington. John Constantine is also aboard the train. By channeling the psychic's power through a mystical fear machine, the Geotroniks agents are able to scare passengers on the train to death from a distance. The train crashes. Constantine and a few others survive. John pulls the Russian off the train to safety before the Geotroniks field teams can arrive on the scene and confirm their kill.
