"This could be bad." Jesse observed as Mitch came towards them. It was now apparent what his favourite 'toy' was: a little silver device that had a thin, but deadly sharp blade and a little hole for a finger. Obviously this was used by Mitch to cut off fingers and other small parts of the body.
"This could be very bad." Lexa agreed. Jesse began to rummage the hairpin around the lock, not really caring at this point if Mitch noticed.
"What are you doing?" Mitch screamed at Jesse. Surprised and a little disturbed by his outbreak, Jesse stopped trying to pick the lock. "That's not how it's supposed to go!" Mitch ran over to Jesse and punched him several times with screaming, maniac passion.
Lexa, unable to just sit and watch, pried her leg free and kicked Mitch in his knee with the spike of her high heels.
Screaming with pain, Mitch fell to the floor with blood spurting out of his leg. He scrambled back in an outraged almost fear and looked at Lexa as if she was the crazy one.
Lexa looked at Jesse with concern. Mitch had broken his nose and blood filled his mouth, but Jesse remained calm.
"I don't like you anymore!" Mitch spat.
"Trust me, the feeling's mutual." Jesse smiled, spitting out some blood from his mouth.
Mitch smiled. "You need some sleep. I will play with you while you're sleeping." He stood up, smiled at them with an evil, mocking grin and staggered out of the room with his blood leaving a trail behind him. The metal door scraped shut, leaving the room hollow and quiet once again.
"We should probably not fall asleep then." Jesse muttered. Before Lexa could reply, she heard a noise come from above them that sounded like water being released from a pipe. She looked up and could see no water, but she did see a few vents.
"I don't think we have a choice. He's gassing us, Jess." Lexa panicked. Jesse began to rummage frantically again at the lock. "I'm so gonna kill Shal and Bren if we die." Lexa murmured. Jesse was too worried to pay attention, he needed to concentrate.
Lexa began coughing. "Hurry Jess."
"I'm going as fast as I can." Jesse yelled, feeling the gas enter his lungs. "It's not working!"
Feeling herself moving rapidly to unconsciousness, Lexa leaned against Jesse. He looked at her, never having seen her so vulnerable.
"I never regretted it." Lexa smiled. Pulling herself up, she softly kissed him. Looking into his deep blue eyes for perhaps the last time, she fell into unconsciousness.
