Mitch had left again, claiming he had forgotten one very important 'toy'. There was a crazy look in his eye, which made him more dangerous and more deadly than Lexa or Jesse had previously thought.

"How do you think he got a Subdermal Governor?" Jesse asked.

"Well, he worked for the GSA, so he could've taken it from there." Lexa said. She and Jesse were still chained and couldn't think of any way to get out.

"I guess. I would have loved to see Eckhart's face when Mitch left with the Governor." Jesse smiled.

"Yeah. I wonder how many people have tried to leave Genomex and succeeded." Lexa thought.

"Not many I reckon." Jesse guessed.

"How are we gonna get out of here, Jess?" Lexa sighed, resting her head against the wall supporting her.

"It might help if we knew where we are." Jesse said.

"Well, let's think about it. We were in the alley, Mitch was talking to us about being his friends and the next thing we know, we're here." Lexa recalled.

"Yes, but how does that help us get out of here?"

"Well, actually, since we were unconscious at the time, it doesn't." Lexa said.

Jesse looked at the lock keeping the chains on him. It wasn't anything super high-tech, just a simple lock you could buy from any old shop. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. "Lexa, can you see anything like a paperclip or a wire perhaps?"

Lexa tried to look through the darkness on the floor. There was a lot of filth – pieces of dry mud, dust and broken beer bottles covered the floor, but nothing remotely close to what Jesse asked for. Except… Reaching her hair, she pulled her hairpin out. "Will this work?"

Jesse took it in his hand and looked at it. "Yeah, that should do it."

He put the pin in the lock and began to fiddle around. "I've always wanted to try this." He smiled.

Lexa rolled her eyes in disbelief. "Jess, that will never work."

"Give it a chance." They waited quietly for a few moments and nothing happened.

"Ok, my turn." Lexa shuffled closer to Jesse in order to get to the hairpin. As she shuffled, she lost her balance and toppled over onto Jesse so that she was lying in his arms facing him.

"Are you ok?" Jesse smiled. "I didn't know you could loose your balance sitting down."

Temporarily mesmerised by Jesse's blue eyes, all she could manage to say was, "Uh-huh."

Jesse helped her sit upright again. "Maybe I should keep going with that lock for a bit longer."

"Jess," Lexa took his arm. "There's something I wanted to tell you earlier, but then this whole thing started and timing wasn't great–"

"Lex, slow down, you're rambling." Jesse smiled. He'd never seen that before.

"Right. Jess, this morning when you asked me if I regretted what happened–"

Cutting her off, the large metal door swung open to reveal Mitch's unwelcome silhouette.

"I'm ready to play now." He whined, glinting his teeth in the light coming from the window above his two victims.
