The glass coffin slides into another room and stops. Manic gets out, opens a fuse box and pushes a button which opens the door where Silver is crushed. The walls open wide and the crushed corpse drops to the ground. Manic looks up and sees a hand grabbing on the metal caging. He knew he can use it to his advantage. He goes and gets pliers and uses it to remove every finger and places the hand in a plastic bag which he put in a freezer.


A cockroach crawls onto an Echidna's hand, which belongs to Tikal. She opens her eyes and feels a device strapped to her head. She got out of her chair and felt a small tug, the lights turn on showing a table with a chain, injection hose and two knives. She screams for helps which causes Erazor Djinn to wake who's on the other side of the room. She walks over to the caging. "Erazor!"

"What?" asked Erazor wearily.

"Erazor wake up! Don't move. Whatever you do, don't lean forward."

Erazor tries to remove the device from his head. "What is this?"

"No!"

Erazor moves forward, feels a tug and the lights turn on showing a table with the same instruments as Tikal's. Then a TV switches on and Billy the puppet appears on screen.

"Hello, I want to play a game. The devices on your heads are symbolic of the shackles that you place upon others. You recklessly loan people money, knowing their financial limitations, counting on repossessing more than they could ever pay back. You are predators, but today you become the prey and it is your own pound of flesh that I demand." Erazor looks at Tikal furiously. "This is all your fault!" "The scale before you is your only path to freedom, however, only one of you may pass and the toll is the ultimate sacrifice of flesh. Before you are the instruments to exact this flesh." They went to the table on to find that the knives are chained. Tikal tries to cut the chain with the knife but no luck. "Move with haste though, for when the sixty second timer hits zero, whoever has given the most flesh will release their bindings while the gears on your opponent's head will engage, piercing their skull. Who will offer the most flesh in order to save their life? The choice is yours."

The timer starts and the screws start to drill in their skulls.

"I'm not dying for you bitch!" angered Erazor.

Erazor takes a knife and Tikal takes the hose and ties it on her arm. She hears Erazor's cry in pain as he digs the knife into his stomach. Tikal takes the knife and places it on her fingers but decides to put it on her arm. Erazor takes out his flesh while she cuts her arm. Erazor places the flesh into a tube leading to the scale. 30 seconds past, Tikal still cuts her arm while Erazor goes deeper in his abdomen. He takes the flesh and places it in the tube. The screws resume screwing into their skulls. Tikal decides to cut from her elbow. But after seeing that time's running low, she takes the butcher knife and hammers it on her elbow. Each hit gets harder and harder until finally it's sliced off. Erazor also got another piece of flesh off and the two race for the tube, both exhausted and in pain. They place their flesh and arm in the tube and landed on the scale. Tikal's arm was heavy enough for the scale to go off balance. The timer hits zero and the bell rings. The screws drill further into Erazor's head fatally killing him while Tikal screams in victory, but with a price.

Manic takes the severed hand out of the freezer and heads into the room where the late Erazor Djinn is. He places the hand on the corpse's face and scale dial just to leave finger prints. Afterwards, he puts the hand back into the freezer.


At the Umbrella Insurance Company, Monkey Kahn, Vector, Vanilla, Cosmo, Drago and Lien-Da are Scourge's junior associates. Scourge is in his office on the phone talking to his Scarlet Garcia who's his sister and it's her birthday. She asks him if he'd going to stand her up on her special day and he's all she have for a family. He's with Hope Kintobor, he hands her a glass of whiskey. After he hangs up he asked Hope what are they are talking about; Hope said it's about his deposition.

"Not to worry Hope, some small town lawyer who we're trying to squeeze us isn't going to get me to say a word."

"I haven't doubt but as lead counsel for this company, if you screw up it comes down on my ass. So what do you say we prep your deposition?"

"Ah Christ."

"Do remember Mr. Jack Rabbit?"

Rosie's voice is heard on Scourge's speaker. "Scourge I have a Mrs. Casey Patterson on line 1."

"Take another message Rosie I'll get back to her this week."

He walks over to his desk and sits down. "Go on."

"When an opposing counsel asks you about him, how will you respond?"

"I'm going to say as Senior Vice President of membership and claims, it's my job to review every terminated policy. And Mr. Rabbit was sitting where you are when we discussed his appeal."

"I have a family too," said Scourge. "But the guy lied on his application."

"Watch it Scourge," interrupted Hope. "Do you think he lied on purpose?"

Scourge gets comfortable in his seat. "It wasn't my job to assess what his intentions were."

A knock is heard on the door, it's Lightning Lynx carrying a folder. Scourge lets him in and he heads to Rosie's office.

"It's my job to check the accuracy of his claim. Look, many people think we're the bad guys. Nobody mentions the millions of people we help or millions of dollars we give to charity and clinics we support."

Lynx is discussing about the file he has in his hand. Scourge walks over to the TV where Scarlet Garcia is giving a report on the late John Kramer; everything from victims to where their bodies are found. Hope asks him on who found the error on his application. He points to the six working near him. "The dog pit, the work as a team. If there's a discrepancy to be found in an application, the six of them will find it."

Rosie steps into the room. "Sir, they're waiting for you in the conference room."

"Very good," smiled Scourge.

"He meets the six and they said hello. Vector got up and showed him a file. "I found two errors for a chronically ill client. This guy lives at his doctor's office. This could save us 200K over his lifetime."

"I'll be back in a few hours," said Scourge.

He walks over to Dimitri who's working as the janitor. Scourge tells him he's looking good.
