When he left, she sank to the floor. She thought of all the shows with kidnapping in it. When they said that they would let you go, it usually was a trick. Was fhis a trick? But he looked so serious. Like he really meant it, like he would help her get out. Her stomach felt like it was squirrely. As if a waterfall was churning. He had been so close to her.

James relaxed on his bed, taking a few deep breaths as he thought his plan over once again, for probably the millionth time. He wanted to make sure it was fool proof. He would wait until everyone left, they all leave to go to a bar on the seventh night, it was a ritual. Then once they'd been gone for an hour, to make sure they weren't coming back for a while, he would open the door and bring her out, going to the car and driving away. Once they had been gone he would call one of tw guys to say she escaped and he was out looking for her as a disguise so he wouldn't get in trouble. He would bring her to another state, far away.

Margo got to her feet and went to get the water bottle that James had given her along with the Advil. She just needed some water to clear her head. She would need to manage her face, keep any emotion off if anyone else came in here. If they suspected anything it would get her and James in trouble. She hadn't seen anyone else come to check on her except Steve, and her dad, to come see her. She really hoped her Dad wouldn't come make another appearance.

James continuously went over the plan in his head for what seemed like hours until he got off his bed and went to his bathroom, taking a shower. While he was in the shower he went over the plan a few more times as he washed off, then he got out and went downstairs, getting something to eat.

Not knowing what the plan was, or when James planned to get her out was driving her crazy. Adding to the insanity of being stuck in here. Would it be during the day, or would he come in while they were sleeping and wake her up? Why couldn't he tell her anything?

As he was downstairs he heard the other men talking about when they would be going out, where they were going, what they were going to do. James shook his head, "You're doing it all wrong, Seth. You have to get two girls to hookup with." He joked with him for a short while before going back upstairs.

While Margo was silently pacing the room going crazy, she heard someone coming down the hall. She calmed her face in case it wasn't James. But a thought went through her head, that she shouldn't be calm, necessarily. After all, she was in a room being held against her will. But before she could change her expression, the door opened.

James walked into her room with a grin, "Need anything?" He questioned as he locked the door behind him. He couldn't change his behavior even if he would help her.

Margo shook her head, relaxing when she saw it was just James.
"No, I don't need anything." She wondered if her crazy was showing on her face. She thought she had a calm look on her face, but she couldn't know for sure. Her nerves were a little frazzled.

"You look nervous." He noted as he took a few steps closer to her, "Calm down, relax." He said in a calm voice, "Or if someone else comes in they'll know something is up." He added.

"Well then I guess the gig is up, because this is my calm face." James took a few steps closer to her, and she took a deep breath, trying to relax her shoulders. "Are you sure that whatever your plan is will work?" She looked into his eyes, and again tried to calm her breathing.

He nodded as he looked at her, "No doubt. I've thought over all the possibilities." He gave her a warm smile as he sat on one of the chairs in the room.

He assured her that the plan would work, and then went and sat on one of the chairs.
"And you can't tell me anything about what the plan is? When it is going to happen? I know you said you couldn't give me any details, but I am going crazy, even more so than usual." Margo bit at her thumbnail,.

James thought it over for a while, his eyes drifting to the skylight as he did, "Well, I guess I can give you a few hints." He looked back down to her and bit his bottom lip for just a second, "It's going to be at night, when all the other guys leave." He affirmed and looked back up, "I don't want to tell you too much more in case someone else comes in here."

James told her it would be at night, and she often stayed up late. Mostly because she never felt like sleeping.
"I know. It would be bad, if they do though, Hopefully I will have calmed down. I did have a thought, though. Wouldn't they expect me to be not calm? Because if I was calm, they might suspect something." She felt like she was overthinking it. Her brain must felt like it was buzzing, as if she had had too much expresso.
