Charles sat, his hand in his head. What was he meant to do? He was no leader in the end. Sebastian was a far more experienced man than him. More mature too. A shaky breath escaped his lips. He plastered a smile on his face, he wondered if this is what Daniel always felt like. He always wondered if the guy had a tendency to fake a smile. Sometimes it just didn't look real. The corner of his mouth twitched as the smile faded away. He felt someone's gaze rest upon him and he flickered his gaze up to see Carlos worriedly staring at him. He felt his face go red with embarrassment.

"Are you OK, Charles?" The Spaniard asked, his eyebrows furrowed. The Monegasque held back tears, everything was too stressful right now. He shook his head and took a deep breath.

"I'm fine, thanks Carlos." He murmured under his breath, the corners of his mouth twitching uncomfortably. Carlos didn't say anything but raised his eyebrows and nodded, placing his helmet firmly on his head. They couldn't sleep with them on so it seemed like Sainz wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. Charles checked the vintage clock and it said that it was around 5:21am. He didn't even know what day it was. It felt like it had only been hours since the incidents occurred but it had in fact been days. They needed to leave this place but they had no clue what carnage was happening outside of the basement. He was hungry, they had been living off of old rations. The silence felt so loud, it made his ears hurt and forced him to cover them. A few panicked breaths escaped him and Carlos walked over to calm him down.

"Charles, what are you doing? Breathe." He spoke calmly though his voice was shaky and nervous. Charles let out an anxious sigh.

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking. Is Seb awake?" Charles apologised and moved on, he didn't mean to worry his friend. Carlos nodded and the German stood up and walked over, hugging Charles as the younger man took a few deep breaths.

"Danke for helping me, Charles."

"No worries, mate... you scared me. We tied Daniel up. I don't know why he attacked you." Charles blurted out all of his words in a quick rush. Sebastian gave a half-smile but frowned as he glanced to where Daniel sat moving to and fro with his hands firmly held behind his back and ankles stuck together. The German walked over and searched for any visible traumatic injuries to the head. There was a large bump on the Aussie's head that looked swollen and sore but he didn't know what damage it had done to him. He furrowed his brows in a confused manner, grabbing a pack of cold peas they had used for Mick and seeing how cold it was. Sebastian pressed the cold pack of peas to the bump (or lump? I don't actually know...) and paid attention to the guy's movements. Daniel twitched slightly and let out a groan as he struggled against the German who held him down.

"Stay down you stupid Australian!" Sebastian grumbled as the man groaned continuously. Charles watched awkwardly, it looked and sounded pretty weird... Carlos had an extremely confused look on his face. If Checo were here then he would look just as confused.
