Clara's P.O.V.

"What are you doing here?" He asks, standing up from the black leather couch that's placed in the middle of the room

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I ask, walking up to him

He groans, running his hands through his hair as he starts pacing around the room.

The room has a TV on one wall in front of the couch, a plastic table in a corner, and an air-conditioning system (which is already turned on, THANK GOD. It may be November but it's pretty hot in here.)

"Fuck. They knew we were coming." He says "Can you get us out of here?"

I walk back to the door and check out the lock.

"It's an electronic system. How did I not notice this?" I ask "They really were expecting us. Only Max can get through this, if we're lucky."

He nods "Okay. It's okay. We're okay." He says, more to himself than me

"Relax, Alex. Sit down."

He reluctantly sits back down on the couch, his head in his hands. I take a seat next to him.

"If I were you, I'd wonder why they kept us in here instead of kicking us out." I say

He looks up "Good point."

"LET GO OF ME!" The door opens and Kat is pushed inside before it's locked again

"Welcome to the club." I say plainly "We call this 'Club Screw Up'. Population- three."

She turns to face us, eyes wide "NO." She says in disbelief "Did they-"

"They were expecting us." Alex says "We're just praying Max will know how to get us out of here."

"Max?" Kat asks

"The locking system's electronic." I explain "Anyway, is there any information you got on the way here?"

"Not really, just a guy saying 'keep them in there 'til the end of the show'. So, yeah, we're stuck here." She sighs, and starts filming herself "You know how in movies there's that evil guy who spins around in his big black chair with a cat and goes 'I've been expecting you'" She says, doing her best 'male villain' voice "Well, yeah, that's us right now. But instead of evil guys in big black chairs with cats, we have random security dudes throwing us into this room which is now apparently the home base for Club Screw Up." She points the camera at us

"If any of you wanna get on your magical unicorns and kidnap us- more like rescue us- that'd be great." I say

"If we get in jail, can someone water my plants?" Alex asks

Kat stops recording "So now we wait for Max." She sits next to me
Soon enough, we hear Max's voice on the other side of the door.

"COME ON, MAN, DON'T TAKE MY STUFF!" He says, and we watch as he's pushed into the room

Unlike the rest of us, he doesn't have his backpack

"You guys are here?" He asks "No way, this is not happening, holy shit." He says

"You can't get us out of here, can you?" Alex asks

"They took my bag! I don't have the tools." His eyes widen "WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH MY LAPTOP?!" He starts pacing around the room

I stand and walk over to him, holding him still by his shoulders "Relax." I push him towards the couch and he sits down where I was "Listen, there's nothing we can do now because they all know we're here. This room's too deep into the stadium for us to escape." I sigh
