@ RavenArtist93 (Now you're really going to have to explain Eve's backstory down the line at some point because she's just too badass. XD)
Ali
When Ali heard her door open after Tuck had already said goodbye, she was confused. When she saw Eve's face, however, she was thrilled. She listened to her explanation about the need to escape, quickly getting dressed and following her up into the main house. She agreed to help Eve find the code to unlocking the external doors, looking for an office or some other place where they might keep that kind of information. "It is a good idea to get far away. I remember early on Tuck said something about being very friendly with the cops and everyone else here," Ali said. She thought vaguely about the fact that she might miss him a little, but reminded herself that it was probably just Stockholm syndrome, not something real.
They found the office and immediately started digging through drawers and files. It took them the better part of an hour, but eventually Ali held up their prize with a grin. "Jackpot!" It was a printout with all of the door and alarm codes clearly labeled. Wasting no more time, both girls bolted back down to the ground floor with the sheet of paper in hand. "Okay, let's get the hell out of here." Even with the code, it took them a minute to get the door open but then they were outside for the first time in weeks. It was colder than it had been when they'd arrived and it was obvious that they were in a very isolated place indeed, but Eve and Ali shared a triumphant smile. They didn't see any neighbors to speak of, though Tuck had mentioned them on more than one occasion. Maybe the other houses were similarly recessed into the trees, impossible to discern in the waning daylight. "Let's follow the beach so we don't get lost out here." They could be miles away from town, but that didn't discourage them. Ali was ecstatic to be out of that house and in the sunlight once again.

Matt
Matt and Mattie had only been at their friends' party for an hour when Matt noticed his phone vibrating. When he checked the screen, it felt like his heart fall into his stomach. The microchip he'd secretly injected into Eve was going off, indicating that the she had somehow gotten off the property. That little bitch, he thought, and after I told her I loved her. He should've known better. Quickly moving up behind Mattie he kissed his cheek and then whispered in his ear. "We need to go now. They got out." Mattie immediately understood and spun to face him. "Are you fucking kidding? We have to get them before they can talk to anyone." He said it in a whisper but it may as well have been a shout because of the obvious urgency. Looking at one another, they hurriedly excused themselves from the party and got into Matt's car. This was exactly why Matt didn't trust anyone except Mattie. Matt sped all the way home, reminding himself that they couldn't get far on foot, and that he could track Eve's movements anywhere thanks to the implant she didn't know she had. He let Mattie hold onto his phone so he could watch her progress. Mattie tried to reassure him. "We'll find them, and then they'll find out what happens."
By the time they were getting close to the house, it was obvious that the girls were following the coastline, moving north away from the property. Matt knew a back road that would allow him to cut them off, and he didn't hesitate to take it. He would have preferred it if they had both cars, but he'd shut Eve and Ali in the trunk if he had to. Letting them escape was not an option unless he and Mattie felt like relocating to a non extradition country. "You know I love you, right? You never disappoint me." He didn't mean to get sentimental on Mattie at a time like this, but all he could think about was how foolish it was to kidnap two intelligent women and leave them alone in the house. He wished they hadn't done it, remaining content with each other. "Of course," Mattie replied, "we're for life, Matt." It sent a pang of guilt through him to hear Mattie say it that way, since he had been emotionally withdrawing from him as he became more attached to Eve, but he wouldn't be so stupid again, even if it meant he had to make Eve disappear in the end. He was very against the idea of killing her, and he knew Mattie wasn't a murderer either, so he hoped that they would be able to catch the girls and get them back into the house without any further problems. "How the fuck did they escape in the first place?"
