AN: Sorry for the long wait! I have been really busy with school, then I was sick, then I had writers block... and so on. I have got quite a bit written, so I will have a couple more after this chapter, then I don't know for a bit. I might have more, but I might be stuck again. It might be getting a bit out of character, and I'm sorry about that, but it was the only way I could get done what I wanted.

Tawni watched Sonny as she struggles to climb the walls of the pit. She wondered how much food and drink she had actually been given since they last saw her. She certainly looked skinnier and paler than she remembered. As she continued to watch Sonny, not that she cared or anything, Sonny crumpled. After that, Tawni didn't know what happened. She just found herself with Chad in the pit by Sonny.

'To the heck with it,' Tawni muttered, 'I care.'

Tawni checked her pockets to see if she had any food. Halfway through checking, she stopped herself. Tawni Hart never carried around food, since she could always get it and the studio cafeteria when she wanted to. Except now. She turned around as the policeman started to stir, and start to demand what was going on. Glancing up, Tawni noticed that luckily Zora had the sense to watch Marta, unlike Nico and Grady, who were watching what was going on in the pit.

Chad started to size up Nico and Grady. One of them had to get help, and food. He knew that he didn't want to leave Sonny, and that by the looks of things, neither did Tawni. Sending Zora would be a stupid idea, since she had been the only one with the sense to watch what Marta was doing rather than what was going on in the pit, and let Marta get away. Chad also had the impression that the policeman didn't have the strength or sense to get out by himself.

'Grady,' he called up having made his decision, 'go get some help, and some food!'

'You're right,' Grady replied, 'You must be getting hungry down there, I know I am!' Zora rolled her eyes, for what felt like the millionth time since Sonny had been kidnapped.

'Not for me, for Sonny!' Chad replied in an annoyed voice.

'Oh, OK!' Grady ran off.

'Don't forget the help!' Tawni called after him.

Son now, they would just have to wait. For how long, no one knew, but they all knew that at some point, Marta would try and escape. As much as he knew that it might not be the best idea, and it might make their situation worse, Chad knew that he had to try something to help. He auickly got out his phone, and texted all but one of his cast mates.

'We need help! Come to Marta's house NOW!'

Chad didn't know who's side they would take, his or Marta's, but he did know that he had some power over them. He could fire any one of them. Now might not be the best time to use that though, but it was the only way he could see to make them switch to his side if they chose Marta's. But then again, it may not work. If they valued a friendship with Marta over their job, then they would quite anyway. Marta was obviously fired. Once he got out of this mess. Firing her when she had height advantage and who knows what else over him, probably wasn't the smartest idea in the world.
