Death Trap: Life Or Death?

Chapter 8

(Gracie) Video Tape-

The room was filled in darkness. The sounds of low whimpering could be heard in the back ground from some where in the room. The screen was snowy at first then it cleared up, the same cold chilling voice boomed out from the television. "Hello, detective i seen that you have tooken the time to sit down and watch this tape. That you actually brought yourself from work and took attention that your daughter needs your help. Like i promised you, you will get to see her. And you will see that she is unharmed for now, look around detective and see that i am not lying." The voice was rusty and very thorough. The camers moved slowly to cast over the small child bounded down in a wooden chair. Her black hair laid strung around her face, tears staining her face. Her mouth was intact with a rusty metal jaw brace. It was attached in and out of her mouth, site of some small spots of blood encrusted from the corners of her mouth.

It reach around her head and just below her neck. It seemed to keep her jaw wired shut, or that would be how it seemed. Strong male hands gripped the sobbing girls shoulders, just below the waist was all you could see of him. He wasn't like the others, he was smart and he wasn't going to show himself to just anyone, and especially to a cop. "Now detective i showed you her. Now you must listen to me, if you wish for this little girl to keep alive you will do as i say. But if you so much as be ungrateful enough to ignore this, you will see of what this device can do. You see the jaw brace that is attached to her right now. This is like a jaw brace keeping her from talking at all. But if you run out of time the timer on this will go off, and it will permanetly ripp her pretty little head right off.

Let's say this is like a bomb planted inside both sides of these plates and even inside her mouth. So if i was you

i would listen up carefully, to safe the live of your daughter, will you scarifice yourself for her and if so will you trade places with her? And if i know you well boy, you will. What i want is you,but since i got your attention,

to keep her alive is to find her. All you have to do is trade yourself for her. Can you do it? Can you die in her place? But first thing is first, find of where i am, better hurry times running out." The tape cuts off and it turns to static.

Marc sat there in utter disbelief at what he just saw, but he will do what he has to get his daughter back. Spencer sat by him stiff. He had gone quiet when the tape started, and he seemed to be in deep thought as he looked at the static screen. He finally tore his eyes from the screen as he lokked over to his partner not believing what he had to do. And he was damned if he was going to let him do this, there had to be another way, right? Marc felt the stare of Spencer and knew what he was aboutt o say was going to really piss him off, but that was his daughter and he would do what is necessary. Spencer opened his mouth and started to say something.

"Marc... You can't obviously be thinking..." He was rudely cut off by Marc.

"I've thought about it, and i will do what he wants anything to get Garcie out of harms way." Spencer shot up shaking his head. He couldn't believe this, he wouldn't... He wouldn't allow Marc to do that.

"No! Thats what he wants Marc, don't you see? He's doing this to lure you in, do you think once you find him he's going to let Gracie go? Theres no fucking way he's going to let her go once he gets what he wants. I say we find another way.." Marc stood to face his partner. He knew he would act this way, but if he stopped and thought about it. There was no other way he had to do this. Angery enough, he balled his fists by hi sides as he looked straight at his partner.

"I have to goddamn it, there is no other way! If i don't do this he will kill her. But if trade placed with her then she will be okay." Spencer shook his head. He wasn't listening to him, he was so caught up in this he wasn't thinking clearly.

"You don't think i don't care about that little girl to Marc? Do you not think that i don't care about you? Thats why i don't want you doing this... I don't want to lose you along with Gracie.." Marc froze as he looked at him.

Not sure of where this was going, was he trying to say something? But that didn't matter, Gracie mattered right now. Spencer gave a deep breath knowing he had to let this out sometime, and know was better then any.

"What are you getting at Spencer?" Marc said, frustrated and fearing the worst as precious time was ticking away. He quickly pushed it off and turned from his friend, knowing he didn't have time for this. But he felt as Spencer moved cloe to him and jerked him back around, his eyes were serious, along with fear.

"Marc... I... I have feelings for you and i don't mean friendship wise either. And if you do this i will lose something more then just Gracie." Marc went still as she heard his words. Spencer wasn't sure of what he was going to do but was going to make him understand he wasn't going to do this alone. Marc didn't move as he just stared at his friend and finally began to speak.

"Spence... We...I...How long have you held this in? And beside the point i have Gracie to worry about right now." He started to to turn, but Spencer made it where he couldn't. He he placed his face between his plams forcing him to look at him. Marc didn't fight as he looked the other straight in the eye.

"Marc goddamn it your not going alone. If you go, i go. I will take your spot, no little girl can go without her father, and i wont let it happen." Marc started to speak but was cut off by Spencer again. " No, your not going to talk your way out of this one. I'm coming i don't give a damnw hat this sick fuck says, i'm not letting you die, you don't want your little girl to see her daddy kille dinfront of her do you? That would scar her for life, and i wont stand for it. I love you damn it, and i know you love me to." He was cut off by a low sob, he dropped his hands to his side . Marc quickly grabbed his hand in his own. He didn't know he felt so strongly toward him, he always acted strong around him but not this strong. He felt as his heart dropped, he wasn't just about to let him do this. But the look in his eyes told him differently.

" I do love you too, and i don't want you doing this for me, not like this." He pulled Spencer to him, into his ermbrace. He knew Spencer's words were true he couldn't do this, but he had to do something to get his daughter out of there. Spencer pulled back enough to look at the other.

" I will do what i have to, to keep you both alive." Marc didn't get to say much more as he felt the soft lips of the other come in contact with his own...

The machine kicked on and was already doing it brutal job. The half dead Eric didn't feel much as the whell begin to turn slowly pulling the intestines from him. Gurgled screams came as his body violently jerked and bucked. Sarah had found the key and was trying to stop the machine. She had turned the key but nothing was happening, she cried out as she turned away from the gruesome scene and doubled over as she finally threw up a chunky fluid onto the ground, her back heaving. Her body trembling some as she fell to her knees and began to sob once more. This time the voice didn't taunt her or order her to her next sick game. Maybe he was giving her time to recooperate? She doubted as she stayed doubled over, rocking silently back and forward.

She heard as she machine cut off once more. She was loosing all her friends and nothing was left, but her other friends. She had to find them before he did something to them. She didn't want to move at first, but then she pushed her tired unwilling body from the floor as she stumbled out into the filty hallways. It was like a maze and nothing was easyas it seemed. She had to find the others before shewas ordered into another sick ordeal.
