Chapter7 what next

Something from behind Leonard caught his eye, he turned to face several screen monitors and what he saw surprised him. he saw his friends in Sheldon's room at the hospital, he sighed a sigh of relief to know that they are all together and safe, but Leonard also knew this was "jigsaw" we were dealing with.

Leonard was brought out of his train of thought by a sound of a TV. he didnt know was there, at the side of the room. The sight he saw was enough to make a grown man cry. it was a puppet, it stared as if looking straight into Leonards soul and started to speak.

"hello Leonard". "You dont know me but i know you. "I want to play a game" right now there is a slow acting poison running through your veins,you have been breathing it since you arrived. the rules are simple, three hours from now the doors to this warehouse will open, along the way i have set three challenges, complete them and find me at the finish line to claim your prize of an antidote to counteract the poison live or die make your choice". then the TV went blank.

Leonard found himself looking back at the screens wishing his friends were here to help him and the other side of Leonard was happy that they werent there to, so they were safe, he jumped at the sound of a door opening. "Let the games begin" Leonard mumbled to himself.

Hospital

Sheldon had been checked over by the doctor and said that he was going to be fine. Sheldon insisted on going home that night because he didn't like the idea of staying overnight in a hospital. everyone eventually gave in to his pleads and got him some clothes and shoes and helped him up, he still was a little dizzy but nothing major and found it difficult to walk for his twisted ankle. "Tahnkyou for helping me" Sheldon said clinging onto Penny for support. "no problem sweetie" penny said. Howard walked back into the room from going to get the release papers signed. "need a hand" Howard said putting Sheldons other arm over his shoulders. "thanks" Penny said. "no problem" Howard said.

Rajj went to get the car to park up front so Sheldon didn't have to walk further than he needed to. Howard and Penny Helped ease Sheldon into the car so he didnt hurt himself. Howard jumped in the back with Sheldon while Penny jumped in the front with Rajj. "You sure you don't mind driving" she asked. "it's not a problem penny, you look tired enough as it is anyway, so it's the least i can do". she smiled at this. "thankyou".

Flashback

Sheldon didn't know what Krammer wanted, but he started asking weird questions things that werent related to his work, he started to get that weird feeling again, it felt stronger this time. something caught his attention when he heard Leonards name and tried to ask him to leave. Krammer started getting impatient. he sighed when he managed to get rid of him.

two minutes later there was another knock at the door he went to answer it this time. there was nobody there "very clever" he shouted angrily. when he turned he noticed his window was open. he started to panic. Sheldon started to walk cautiously towards the window and he was startled by a noise behind him. someone wearing a mask of a pig came out of nowhere charging at him armed with a knife, he reacted quickly but it was hard to fight off and he got hit a few times, the next thing he knew he felt a sting in his neck and he dropped to the floor heavily and fell unconcious.

end of flashback

Sheldon was brought out of his thoughts by a firm hand on his shoulder "sorry" Sheldon said "just thinking about the events of tonight". "understandable" Howard said. "just thought i'd let you know where home"

Howard and Penny got out first to help Sheldon while Rajj parked the car. "lets get inside it's freezing" Penny said shivering. "okay" Howard said. Sheldon put his arms over there shoulders so they could help him walk so he didnt put weight on his ankle. They waited for rajj in the lobby so he could help Howard get Sheldon up the stairs. Rajj walked in and took Penny's place and helped Sheldon get up the stairs.

It was 2AM everyone was tired especially Sheldon, they were on the last flight of stairs so Penny went on ahead to open the door. "ill go open the door" the guys nodded in agreement. "ok thankyou, Penny" Sheldon said Penny smiled and nodded and made her way up the last few steps and stopped as she saw what was on the door, her smile dropped into a frown. everyone reached the top and stared at her "whats wrong penny?" Howard asked genuinly concerned and she pulled off the note and held it in the air for all of them to see. they gasped as they recognised the symbol on the envelope. "a jigsaw piece"

"just to let you know we have your dear friend, play by the rules and he will return safe and sound".

"jigsaw"

Penny read aloud

Howard was the first to speak "Rajj was Leonards car back when you parked up"Howard asked. "No I dont think so". "okay that settles it i need to know if hes telling the truth hes, really pissing me off" he gasped "first Sheldon now Leonard". he turned to Rajj."Rajj do you mind driving me to the university?". "why?" Rajj asked "if Leonard isnt there then we know he is at the mercy of "jigsaw", and well be able to try and find some help. Howard stated. "Penny?" howard asked her. "yeah?" "do you mind staying with Sheldon till we get back?". "of course i will" Howard smiled slightly "well be half an hour, hour tops" he assured her Rajj and Howard hugged Penny and she whispered "do whatever you need to do" with that they were gone
