Note: This is my first fanfic. I wrote it right after I saw Saw 3. You don't have to have seen any of the Saw movies to get the story, but it's not like it can hurt.

Disclaimer: Yeah, I don't own any of the characters or anything like that. But I can't imagine anyone thinking I did.

(1979: Eric came back from Africa to be w/ Donna. Sam is gone. Bob already left for Florida. The Jackie and Fez thing is non-existent along w/ the character Randy.)

"High Stakes"

Jackie Burkhardt never knew she could run so fast. She was running so fast she could hardly see where she was going, and of course the constant flow of tears blurring her vision was not helping.

Hyde had wanted to start a circle. She came to confront him about unresolved feelings and he suggested a circle. They had been alone in the basement at the time, but one Hyde lit up, everyone followed the scent and joined in. Jackie starred at her former-lover, the man who she still loved, in awe as Eric, Donna, Kelso, and Fez joined Hyde, oblivious the current situation between the troubled pair. They tripped without hesitation, as Red and Kitty were not yet back from their night out, despite the late hour.

Jackie had no desire to join her stoned friends and rushed out of the basement before she released her tears. She was not a block away from the apartment she shared with Fez when she felt her mouth being covered with a hand holding a chlorophyll soaked cloth.

Jackie woke up thirteen hours later in a daze with a splitting headache. She didn't know anything at that point, except that she was cold. Very cold. In fact, the farther out of unconsciousness she came, the more she realized just how cold she was. It took ten minutes for her to completely come out of the fog. In that time she learned that she was in a large room, completely bare and covered in white tiles on every surface. It must be nearly freezing since she could see her breath. She was hung from the ceiling by chains that held her wrists above her and the rest of her body swung free. She was naked.

Realizing her dangerous predicament she began to cry, like any normal human would. It was then that she heard familiar voices to her left.

"She's awake!"

"Jackie! Jackie, over here!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Please!"

Jackie looked to the left wall and saw a wide opening about five feet up the wall blocked off by prison bars and a mechanically operated door which led to the area opposite the wall. Through the opening a separate room was revealed containing Red, Kitty, Eric, Donna, Kelso, and Fez. They were the familiar voices.

"Oh my God! Help! What's going on! Help me!" Jackie yelled to the people she knew as her family. It was apparent that everyone had been crying, minus Red (but it was clear he was scared and holding back), due to the situation.

Everyone began yelling back to her all at once until Red shut them all up and explained. "We have all been captured. I don't know why or by whom, but whoever it is is not messing around. We were all knocked out with chlorophyll and woke up here. We've been here for hours, but you were only brought in and chained about an hour ago. Some girl was doing it, but she was taking orders from a man I couldn't see." By the time Red finished he was flustered and Kitty hugged him to calm him down.

"Why am I here and you're there? Why am I naked? Why is it so cold? Why-?" While Jackie's tears had never really stopped, they strengthened again and she was unable to speak comprehensively.

"I don't know. I-. I just don't know." Red stuttered, clearly just as scared as everyone else.

"Jackie, oh God! Are you okay?" Donna spoke up now. Jackie just stared at her best friend and cried as her only possible response.

"Fuck!" Kelso screamed while punching the wall, creating a dent but severely damaging his hand. Kitty tended to his hand while everyone stared at him. He just looked at Jackie and shook his head. "This can't be happening."

It was then that a thought struck Jackie. "Where's Steven?"

"We don't know," Eric responded, shamefully. He wished he could give Jackie more answers. He did not know what kind of trouble Hyde was in, and at this point, she was clearly in the worse situation. "He was taken also, but we don't know where." He looked into Jackie's oddly unsymmetrical eyes and felt shame and regret for all the horrible things he had ever said about her, despite that he thought of her as one of his best friends, just as he did with the rest of the tight-nit group.

Same Time

Steven Hyde woke up alone on the floor of dark, dank, and dirty room. It was even too dark and dank for his liking. He began to sit up, and feeling himself against a wall, rested back as he tried to think of how he got here. The last thing he remembered was being in a circle. He grinned at the memory of him and his friends tweaking, but the smile quickly fell off of his face when he remembered some person with a pig mask on walking into the basement and covering Eric's face with a cloth, knocking his friend out. They were all too high and stoned to react quickly, but when Donna got up and started to run she was quickly hit over the head with bat. Hyde did not remember much after that except the smell of chlorophyll.

He did however, remember being stunned when Jackie wanted to talk about unresolved feelings. Feelings? I thought she didn't love me anymore. Oh God, what if she's giving me another chance? He was so shocked that all he could think to say was to suggest a circle. He hadn't meant to say it. It just slipped out. That is what he normally would do when he needed to figure things out. I still love her, but what if she just wants closure or something. I don't want closure. I want another chance. He was afraid to say what he was feeling, so out came the circle suggestion. The second he opened his mouth he wanted to close it knowing nothing good would come out, but he didn't. He felt horrible. Damn, Jackie. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

He felt ashamed of himself, but his attention was quickly altered to a television high in the opposite corner of the room turning on and giving him a better look at his surroundings. As he watched the fuzzy images of the screen, his mind was racing. What the fuck? Where is that? "Jackie?"
