Mila let out a breath of relief. "Thank God it's only you Blake. Can you please hurry untieing us, before he comes back!"
Blake hurries over to Nick first.
Mila smiles over to Peter, but he is scowling.
"Why aren't you happy? Blake is saving us."
Peter looks at Mila, "He isn't going to save us."
"What?" She gives him a dumbfounded look.
Mila looks over at Nick and Blake, just before a pair of hands claps around Nick's throat from behind.
"Oh, how I have been waiting for this moment," Blake says in a surprisingly calm voice.
He looks down at Nick, who is starting to turn red, "Unfortunately I will have to wait to kill your all. We are still missing a few people before things turn interesting."
Mila's mouth is hanging open from utter shock.
Blake laughs and removes his hands from Nick's throat. "Why so shocked Mila? Is there something you don't understand?"
She merely nods her head in response.
"Well," Blake says and straightens his suit, "storytime will have to wait until I come back with the others."
And with that, he turns around and walks out of the door.
Leaving the three prisoners in complete darkness, leaving them to think.

"Hey, where did Blake go?" Irina asks, noticing that he is gone.
Robert merely shrugs his shoulders and continues looking through his phone, as a distraction.
Nobody cares that he isn't here.
He isn't a part of the family or a good friend.
Blake is just a man who stole another man's woman.
And that woman is dead now.
She took her own life.
Or, maybe not.
Nobody knows.
"We can't just sit here and do nothing!" Jace says as he jumps up from his chair, and begins pacing the room.
Ryan rolls his eyes, "You have been saying that ever since we got here. You do know that nobody is keeping you here, right? You can leave whenever you want."
"The police did say that it would be best if we stayed here." Sam answers.
"I don't care," Jace says "I am out of here." He then walks out, without saying anything else.
As he leaves, the air becomes thick. Thick with tension.
Not only have they all just been to a funeral, but now two people they all care about are missing.
And they have no idea who took them.
Or, one person does, but it isn't ready to share it just yet.
It is not time.
A phone rings, bringing all of them out of the awkward silence there is, aside from the radio in the background.
"Sorry," Irina says "it's my mom."
She leaves the room, leaving Kyle, Ryan, Sam and Robert.
Kyle scratches the back of his neck awkwardly like he always does.
