This time Jay wakes up in a worn down building. He doesn't remember anything since getting the flashlight from Tim's car. He looks around and notices tree tops in the windows ... maybe he's on the top floor. He looks around for Tim but there's nothing up here except him and the dust. He stands up and brushes himself off. He looks around again and sees a set of stairs starting in the corner where the light doesn't quite reach.
After going down the stairs and into the main floor, Jay observes the space. Not as much light shines through this floor so he squints and starts walking through the rooms. Maybe Tim's here and they were both dumped in this place.
"Tim?" He says just above a whisper. What if someone else were here? He doesn't want to be caught again, who knows what the hell they did to them this time.
Jay turns the corner into an empty room... well almost empty. There's someone laying in the middle of the floor all sprawled out. He approaches the body hesitantly. The closer he gets the better he can see that... its Jessica. Jay falls to her side after his realization and starts shaking her.
"Jessica. Jessica wake up. Its Jay, come on, we've got to get you out of here. Jessica?" He cups her face and turns it towards him. His hand slides around on her cheek and he sees there's blood. He looks at her and all of a sudden she's covered in it. She's been beaten and stabbed. Her clothes are stained with her blood.
Where did it all come from? He didn't see it before and now its drenching his clothes. He breaks away with shaking hands, her head slumping back to the side, and backs away only to run into the wall. He smears a puddle of her blood over the floor he moved across.
So much blood... but how did he not notice it earlier? Where did it all come from? She looked just fine until he touched her... Maybe ... maybe its the same as introducing her to Alex... was just like getting her hurt... and now she could be somewhere dead. As dead as she is right in front of him. Its his fault. He couldn't help her. He couldn't put her back together. He couldn't get to her in time. He didn't put the puzzle together fast enough to find her. All his fault.
He can't stay. He has to go looking for Tim. He has to get out of here. He wipes his tear blurred eyes and uses the wall to help him up. He finally rips his gaze away from Jessica's body. He starts walking but stops when he sees the guy in the hood in the doorway. The guy takes off back into the other room and Jay starts running after him.
He goes past the doorway and turns the corner. He's rushed at by, not the hooded guy, but Tim... or at least Tim in the mask. The masked man tackles him to the ground and the wind is knocked out of Jay. His head slams into the ground and "Tim" grabs his face only to knock it to the side with a punch. "Tim" gets off of him but Jay stays on the ground. He's still trying to catch his breath but instead he's choking on blood. There's a burning pain at the base of his rib cage and his head is throbbing.
He looks up to see "Tim" with a blood stain on his jacket but where did it come from? Sure he has a nose bleed but that's not it. Why does the hooded figure have a camera? Is that his camera?
That's when he noticed it. There's a handle sticking out from his torso. His shirt is drenched in blood and he can feel it go deeper with each breath he takes. Jay's still choking on blood and he turns his head to the side to spit it out. There's a numb tingling feeling rushing through his body and he grabs the knife's handle. Sadly he's lost the strength to pull it out.
He hears foot steps but he can't turn his head towards them. The soft thudding gets louder and stops right beside him. The camera is placed in front of him where he can see the screen play footage. Its Jessica and she's sitting against the wall of the same room she's in now. She's unconscious but not for long.
Jay comes into view and just starts kicking her in the stomach repeatedly. You can hear her gasping and looking around. She scrambles away and tries to get up. He grabs her by the arms and rams her into a wall. Her head knocks hard against it but she keeps fighting and trying to get away.
"Jay, STOP! Get off of me!" She yells at him. This isnt right, Jay doesnt remember any of this. Whats happening? Why is he doing this? Is the same thing happening to him like it is to Tim? He tries to look away but a shoe steps on the side of his face to keep him there.
Video Jay takes both her arms in one hand and punches Jessica in the stomach. Air quickly leaves her body. She's gasping and trying to talk but none of it is understandable. While she's practically doubled over, video Jay starts reaching for his back pocket and pulls out a knife. Outside the video, Jay tightens his grip on the knife in his stomach. Eventually it slides back down to the actual wound. He has even less energy now.
Video Jay brings the knife up as Jessica is straightening up and she sees it. She starts kicking at him and he blocks the kicks with his legs. He's had enough and he goes for a now. He doesn't actually hit her. Instead, the knife goes into the wall right beside her head and she goes silent.
He takes the knife out of the wall slowly and small whimpers escape her blood filled mouth. In one swift move, video Jay takes his knife and stabs her.
Her shriek pierces Jay's ears, even with the tiny speakers of the video recorder. He's bawling at this point and he slips out a whimper of his own as he feels someone grab the knife, his hand falling limp to his side. On cue, the knife twists in both Jay and Jessica. Another scream from Jessica but nothing from Jay for he's choking on even more blood.
He's slowly blacking out as he catches jessica going quiet and limp in the video. Video Jay throws her body to the middle of the floor. Her head rolls back to the camera and as Jay takes his last gasps of air, all he can see is the cold dead look in her eyes. Before he goes he feels nothing but guilt rush over him.
