In Session 11 of "The Falcon's Malteser," Nick finds himself kidnapped and taken to Bayly Street SE1. The phrase 'making a break for it' is used to describe an attempt to escape or get away quickly, which is precisely what Nick considers as he lies to his captors, Gott and Himmel, about the location of the Maltesers. He fabricates this story to distract them and buy time, knowing that his life is in danger if they retrieve the Maltesers. Meanwhile, Lauren manages to free herself from her bonds by wriggling out, a skill she picked up from working with an escapologist. Nick's shouts for help go unheard by the construction workers nearby due to the distance and the noise at the site. His teeth are chattering at a metaphorical speed of 150 miles per hour, a vivid description of his fear and adrenaline after swinging between rooms five stories high.

A summary of Session 11 in less than 50 words: Nick is kidnapped by Gott and Himmel and taken to Bayly Street. He lies about the Maltesers' location to survive, while Lauren escapes her ropes. Despite his attempts, distant construction workers can't hear Nick's cries for help, leaving him terrified after a perilous swing between buildings.
