Author's Note: A personal take of mine on the storyline continuing after Saw VI, SPOILERS abound!
As she and Hoffman battle over Jigsaw's legacy, Jill seeks help from a new apprentice. My second guest appearance in a Saw fanfic!
Shape Shifting Smile
Chapter One: New Blood
"Game over," Jill Tuck told Hoffman, whom she had fitted with the bear trap mask as part of her husband's final request. She slammed the door and stood there, waiting to hear Hoffman's mouth split apart, instead, right before the device triggered, she heard glass breaking followed by Hoffman growling. The episode concluded with the sound of the metal contraption hitting the floor.
Inside the room Hoffman approached the door and kicked at it furious, "Jill I know you're still out there. You listen to me, this isn't over!" Mark heard Jill chuckle, "Oh I know this isn't over, you'll get out of there eventually but by then I'll be long gone." Jill's calm tone made anger course through Hoffman's veins, "FUCK YOU JILL, YOU BITCH!" he heard objects clattering followed by footsteps.
"No Hoffman fuck you, good luck finding me!" Jill slammed the next few doors before she stepped into the streetlights of the weary midnight city streets. I know the perfect person to select as my new apprentice; someone who'll look after me and keep the game in order. Jill dialed her cell phone and after two rings, a nasally voice answered, "Hello, you've reached the offices of FEARLESS MASTER Productions, how may I help you?"
Jill chuckled once more, "Yes hi, this is Jill Tuck calling, could you connect me to FEARLESS MASTER please?" after another ring another voice spoke, "Jill what's wrong, you never call this late?" "Listen Fearless, I have an important matter to discuss with you. What do you say to a nightcap at Alter Bridge?" We were silent for a moment, "Okay Jill, I seem to be free. I'll meet you there in say ten minutes?"
After twenty minutes I arrived at Alter Bridge, a quiet little dance club not too far from my production office. "Oh Jill it's been so long, what's up?" I noticed her sexy blue cocktail dress and stared longingly into her eyes. "I need a favor, as you know since John died Hoffman and I have been controlling the game." I nodded, "Yeah. What's the problem?"
"Hoffman isn't working out. Tears started to fall from her face. Jill held my hand and pressed it firmly against her eyes, her tears felt like shards of broken glass. "He's controlling and manipulating me. From day one he has said, "I'm in charge". He knows damn well that's not what John wanted but it's clear to me that he could care less." Jill took in a ragged breath and wiped her tears with my hand.
"What does Hoffman have to do with what you're asking me?" I knew the answer already but feared I was right, "I need you to be my apprentice. Something tells me once Hoffman escapes he'll be out for blood. What I'm asking of you, to be honest, is to protect me."
