"Where is Joy?" Fabian huffed loud enough for Patricia and Eddie to hear, after checking his watch for the time.

"I will have to bite through this rope if she isn't here soon," Patricia spoke, sounding scarily genuine.

"Not if I have anything to do with it," Eddie rested his hand on Patricia's shoulder and turned her away, so that she was facing him instead of the rope.

"And how are you gonna stop me?" Patricia smirked, raising her eyebrows.

Eddie laughed and gazed down to Patricia's lips, "Oh... I don't know..."

"Can you guys stop being cute, or be quieter when you're being cute?" Fabian called over.

"Can you stop being jealous, or be quieter when you're being jealous?" Patricia mocked, laughing. Eddie laughed too. Fabian just scoffed.

"I'll call Joy," Fabian changed the subject, before pulling his phone out of his pocket. He then, butter fingers, dropped his phone. Not only did it fall out of his hands, but it fell through the holes in the net and onto the floor; out of reach.

"Genius, Fabian," Patricia sarcastically clapped.

"I haven't got my phone on me," Mara informed them.

"I have my phone, but it's out of battery," Patricia told them.

"Mine's at the house..." Eddie muttered, not wanting to add to this disappointment of no-one being able to contact Joy. "Wait! I have an idea!" He then added enthusiastically.

"And that idea is...?" Fabian impatiently asked, even though Eddie had literally just said it.

"Patricia, give me your phone," Eddie demanded. Fabian, for some reason, just rolled his eyes at Eddie's comment.

Patricia reached inside her pocket and pulled out her phone. She hesitated before handing it over to Eddie, "What are you going to do? My phones out of charge, we can't call Joy."

"We're not calling Joy, we're getting out of this net," Eddie told her.

A puzzled and slightly scared expression covered Patricia's face, before she hesitantly handed her phone to Eddie, "Okay... Now I'm confused."

"Well..." Eddie began, not taking his eyes off Patricia's phone that lay in his hand, "The screen of the phone is sharp, so can act as a knife. So, all we need to do is smash you're phone, peel the screen off, then we're as good as out," He then half looked up at Patricia, wanting to see her expression.

"Eddie, there's no way you're smashing my phone!" Patricia told him, urgency in her voice. She then reached out, trying to grab her phone off Eddie. Eddie teased her by snatching the phone out of her reach. "Eddie!" Patricia yelled, as she stumbled, having to grab hold of the net to stop her from falling.

"Steady there, Yacker," Eddie chuckled.

"Seriously, Eddie," Patricia tried to grab her phone again, "Give me my phone, or I'll break up with you."

"Fine," Eddie spoke, flimsily handing Patricia's phone back to her. Patricia snatched it out of his hand and shoved it in her pocket.

Vincent held the phone towards his ear, "And you are sure that the watch will bleed Ra's blood?" He asked.

"I'm positive," The voice came from the other end. It was Mrs. Miller.

"And Miss Chase doesn't know that we're using it as an ingredient for the elixir?" He confirmed.
