"Hey, I just tried to alleviate the stiuaiton." Alex replied defensively. "And for a second, I thought it worked."
"Yes, we thought it worked." Alina replied as she shook her head. "But…"
"But instead of letting us roam around freely, those guys put us in house arrest." Alex said as he looked around him.
"At least it was just a house arrest." Alina muttered as she let out a sigh. "If they decided to kill us earlier, bloodshed will surely occur."

Right now, Alex and Alina were back at their house, as they were 'judged' by the TimeMasters to be unfit to help them out.
Instead of letting Alex and Alina join them, the TImeMasters had elected to just keep Alex and Alina trapped inside their house.
Of course, Alex can try to resist against this decision, but he did not do it, as he just allowed it to happen.
