He put a plan together to lure Ramsey to a place no one would be able to hear him scream or come looking for him after Theon's plan was executed.    Once day, Theon finally gained the courage, he took his sweet time to get across the bridge.  When he returned, Ramsey shouted "Reek, why are you late?"  "I am sorry my lord," nervously said Theon.
