Chapter Two: Calling Card

Detective Alison Kerry stepped through the dark halls of the underground taverns. It was three in the morning. She had been woken up out of bed by her commanding officer to come down to the darkest trench in town to investigate another murder.

Alison looked to the agent already snapping pictures of the carnage.

Alison: What do we have here?

The woman lowered her camera and looked at the detective with a wreary expression. Kerry recognized the woman from her previous analysis of other murder scenes. F.B.I. profiler Lindsey Perez.

Lindsey: Another Jigsaw victim apparently. Poor woman had to cut her ears off to escape some loud music. Whoever this new Jigsaw is definately is thinking outside the box.

Kerry: No tape this time?

Perez nodded.

Perez: Just a message written in blood. The word trendkill mean anything to you?

Kerry: Maybe the victim was following some annoying fad that pissed off our little friend. Hard to tell these days.

Both women were surprised at this calling card. Usually Jigsaw left a video message.

Detective Kerry walked away from the crime scene that night with that word planted in her head. She laughed the term out of her mind before she laid down to sleep.
