There was a muffled sound, like a womans voice.
"I think I found something..." Lawrence said, feeling around the wall, and flicking a light switch.
The ceiling lights quickly flickered on, they made a small but noticable difference.
There was somebody else in the room.
"EMILY?!" David gasped. He rushed over to her, she was gagged.
"Hang on a sec..." He began to loosen the gag around her mouth.
"My goodness..." Lawrence stammered at the sight.
Emily was chained to a table, her body in the shape of an X, shackles around her hands and ankles. Hanging from the ceiling above Emily was a net, in the net, a giant cinder block.
"Oh David... What is this.." She trembled.
"Holy shit, Emily! Okay.. okay... dont worry, Im gonna get you out of this..." David stammered. Lawrence placed a hand on his shoulder, in his other hand, the tape.
"Play it." David said, closing his eyes.
"Hello David. The woman before you is possibly the first person you've ever truly trusted, but she has been lying to you"
David looked at Emily in despair.
"The story of the loss of her womb was a lie, the real reason she is overly attached to you, is because she had a son herself once. Only, because of a severe case of post natal depression, she was unable to bond with her baby and as a desperate cry for help and attention, she smothered her baby son. A murderer"
Emily closed her eyes and silently cried.
"So now David, you have the chance to repay Emily. After this tape as finished, 4 small but powerful blow torches, will begin to burn each corner of the net, if the net is loosened, the woman before you will be crushed to death"
"You sick bastard!" Lawrence screeched.
"On the other end of the room is a metal box, inside is the switch to de-activate the blow torches, and the shackle key. To obtain the key, you must cut through and search through a series of your mother's possesions, behind the black door. Better hurry up, David"
The tape ended. There was a small sparking sound, and then the smell of something burning.
"David! Please help me!!" Emily cried.
"Oh god Oh god Oh GOD!" David turned quickly, looking for the door.
"There!" Lawrence pointed.
David looked to see a large door, he ran towards it and swung it open.
"Shit.." There was a pile of Evelyn's possesions on the floor. Teddies, her pillow, some of David's baby clothes (Jigsaw has stitched up the sleeves and neck hole) and her favourite pair of black boots, the leg holes stapled together.
There was a knife hanging on a string in front of David. With closed eyes, he grabbed the knife and pulled it from the string.
Lawrence watched on from the door, watching David sink to his knees, holding the knife close.
"HELP ME!" Emily's screams suddenly made them both jump.
David gritted his teeth and grabbed a large brown teddy bear, clasping a heart cushion with 'Mom' written on it. "You sick fuck!" David screeched as he plunged the knife into the bear and tore it open. No key.
Lawrence knelt next to him and quickly began to tear at the pillow.
"NO! DON'T TOUCH HER THINGS!" David screamed. Lawrence dropped the pillow as if it were hot.
"Sorry, I didnt want to just watch you do this." He said quietly.
Minute's passed, David screaming his way through his task, Lawrence with his head buried in his hands and Emily whimpering loudly.
David eventually got to Evelyn's beloved black boots with the large buckles. He held them close.
"I .. I can't.. She loved them.." He whimpered, sobbing into them.
There was suddenly a ripping sound, a piercing scream, then a sickening crunch from the other room.
David threw back his head and screamed with grief.
"I'M SORRY EMILY!" He howled. ".. Close the door, I'm not going in there, I couldnt bear it"
Lawrence obidiently closed the door, then knelt down next to David.
"This is too much pressue for someone so young." Lawrence said, putting his arm around David. He paused. "I was 38 when I playing one of his games"
David looked up at him, tearry eyed.
"You'v been through this." He said.
"Not exactly." He said, then lifted his pant leg, to reveal an artificial foot.
"I was locked in a bathroom, chained to a pipe, with a young man called Adam for 8 hours. I had to kill him by 6 o'clock or my wife and daughter would be killed. We learnt so much about each other, but in the end I lost it. I cut my foot off." David stared.
"I promised Adam I would get help, but as soon as I got to the street, I got slammed up in an ambulance. They thought I was crazy, muttering things about being locked in a bathroom. When I eventually mananged to give the location, it had been years. They never found Adam." Lawrence said, lowering his head. "I never found Adam"
David collapsed on Lawrence and began to cry wildly, clinging to Lawrence's shirt like a small child. "Its alright." He soothed, stroking his hair like a protective father. Then he said quietly. "There's another door., over there"
Indeed there was.
"I can't" David said. "Its too much. What if Laurie is behind the door? What if I kill her too"
"You NEVER kill Emily, it wasn't your fault." Lawrence said, helping David up. "Come on"
They both walked slowly towards the door, and opened it with caution.


This next room was poorly lit.
".. NO!!" David ran to a body lay on the floor. A large hole in her chest.
"MOM!" He knelt down and held her close. "Speak to me, please! I'm sorry I was such a bad son, I love so much, Mom"
Lawrence felt her pulse.
"She's dead." He said quietly. "I'm sorry"
".. I knew that as soon as I saw her, I was just clinging to false hope." He said, sniffing. David removed his leather jacket, folded it and carefully placed it below Evelyn's head.
A sharp spark like noise, made them turn sharply. There was a TV, flickering on. A puppet suddenly appeared on the screen, pale faced, messy black hair, red swirls on his cheeks, slowly turning his head. "Hello David, and welcome to your final test. You, by now have obviously seen the dead body of your mother"
"YOU KILLED HER!!" David shrieked. The puppet continued.
"There is another man in the room with you, his situation grave. You must determine whether he will live or die, think about this David, he is all you have left. The secret to saving him, is in the stomach of your dead mother. Make your choice, David"
The TV fizzled out to black.
".. What man?" Lawrence said.
A light suddenly lit a shadow on the far side of the room, revealing a third person.
It was Adam.
He was wearing the reverse bear trap.
