It had taken four men to stop Lance from opening the floor door in the ship container after he had realized that he couldn't reach Paige anymore.

Who would have thought it would only take four fucking days for the worst case to happen? Lance immediately knew it had something to do with James, but he clung to the hope he was mistaken, as well as to the rule of creators not being able to kill anyone if the storyline wasn't requesting it.
