Hey first fic! Please be nice! And this may be a little AU. Oh, and I came up with this idea when the movie ended. I started to realize how Lawrence and Adam had a way to escape! Hope you like the idea however!
Disclaimer: I own nothing associated to Saw.
Summary: What if there was an easier way for Lawrence and Adam to escape? What if there was a way to know the dead man lying on the floor wasn't really dead?
There's a Way to Know
Adam sat on the blood stained floor staring at the man in front of him dead. He sighed and stared back at Lawrence as he rubbed his forehead trying to think through something. Lawrence was talking about how the police were trying to catch a man who was called the Jigsaw Killer.
"All I know is that only one person survived from Jigsaw's games." Lawrence said.
"What happened to the person?" Adam asked.
"The police are asking questions from her." Lawrence explained, "But she won't tell them much, only how she escaped."
"Why?"
Lawrence looked up at Adam, "Because he helped her."
Adam made a confused expression, "I don't get it. So he tortures you first, then he helps you? That's stupid."
Lawrence only shook his head, "I don't know, but I'm guessing he knows what it's like to be tortured."
At this response Adam looked up quizzically, "He does? Then why does he torture people for the fun of it?"
"I don't know!" Lawrence burst out. He sighed and sat back on the floor looking at the time. Only two hours left before six.
"That is the most stupidest mass murderer I have ever heard of." Adam declared, "I mean, the part where he helps you in the end? Come on, that's too unbelievable."
"Well he did do it!" Lawrence yelled, he was getting tired of Adam's sarcastic tones.
Adam just shook his head and leaned his back against the wall. He thought about what Lawrence said and couldn't believe it. It was just too weird! How could someone help you if they wanted you dead? Adam chuckled at that.
"What are you laughing at?" Lawrence said.
"I was just think how we are kidnapped by the weirdest mass murderer I have ever heard of." Adam replied.
"He's not a mass murderer, he hasn't killed anyone. Somehow he makes people kill themselves." Lawrence pointed out.
As the words started to sink into Adam's head, he slowly realized it was true. And it was pretty amazing how the man could come up of a way to make people kill themselves. The man was strange and sick, but he was clever.
Adam was about to make a response when he suddenly realized something. "Hey Lawrence."
Lawrence looked up tired and with a exhausted look on his face. "What?"
"I just found out something." He said.
That got Lawrence's attention, he slowly got up and stared at Adam. "What? What is it? Come on tell me!"
"You said the Jigsaw Killer didn't actually kill anyone right?"
"Yeah." Lawrence said impatiently.
"Then how did he die?" Adam pointed at the dead man on the floor.
Lawrence stared confusingly at Adam, "I-I don't know what you mean."
"You said Jigsaw didn't kill anyone, so did he kill that man on the floor?" Adam said.
"I don't know, maybe he found out a way for the man to kill himself." Lawrence said. He couldn't understand what Adam was getting at. Adam spoke up, "We've been here for about seven hours right?"
"Yes! Jeez Adam tell me what's your point!"
Adam bent down staring at the dead man's face, "His lips aren't blue." He said.
"So?" Lawrence replied.
"So? Aren't you the doctor here? When you die your lips turn blue!" Adam yelled out.
"His lips could be covered in blood." Lawrence said. Adam checked at what Lawrence said and saw that he was wrong. "No, they're not covered in blood."
Lawrence's eyebrows furrowed, "So you mean—"
"What I mean is that he's probably not dead!" Adam exclaimed. Lawrence's eyes shot wide open as he realized this, "So it's probably just a fake doll?"
"Or a wounded person not dead." Adam said. Lawrence came up with another idea, "Or maybe pretending to be dead."
Lawrence shook his head and became even more confused than ever. "Is this another one of his tricks?" He muttered.
However, Adam heard this and looked around the room trying to see if there might be another useful clue. Lawrence too looked around the room until his eyes stopped on the gun lying under the man's hand. He took out the bullet from his pockets and stared at it carefully then stared back at the gun.
Lawrence lay carefully on the ground and reached his hand far out to the gun. Adam didn't seem to get what Lawrence was trying to do, but then he had a thought he was going to kill him.
"Lawrence?" Adam whispered frightened.
Lawrence ignored Adam and took off his shirt and tossed it towards the gun since he couldn't reach it with his bare hands. He tossed his shirt again towards the gun and missed. He threw it again and barely made the gun move. He stared at Adam exasperated; "Can you give me that plug you tossed before?" He asked.
Adam shook his head silently fearfully. "How do I know you're not going to kill me with the gun?"
Lawrence sighed, "I'm not going to kill you, just give me that thing."
"Then what are you going to do?" Adam said.
Lawrence knew he couldn't say it, otherwise Jigsaw would know what he had planned in mind. "Just trust me!" Lawrence yelled. Adam didn't move from his spot.
Lawrence clenched his jaw angrily and looked around for an object to tie on his shirt. He spotted the saw laying on the floor and picked it up. He smiled and made the sleeve of his shirt tie around the saw. Once he was done he crawled back on the floor and tossed the shirt towards the gun. He missed three times, but on the fourth, he took hold of the gun. He slowly brought it towards him and grinned.
Lawrence took the one bullet he ever had and put it in his gun. He stared at the gun realizing why he had never thought of doing this in the first place.
He looked at Adam and smiled, but Adam just cowered in the corner afraid that Lawrence was going to shoot him.
Instead Lawrence sat back down and aimed the gun on his chain lock. He silently prayed that his plan would work. He pulled his finger slowly aiming on the lock until he heard a gunshot, and Adam screamed at the same time.
Lawrence closed his eyes as he did this and slowly opened them. He saw that the gun had broken his lock free! He smiled like he had never smiled before and yelled out happily. He took off the chain from his leg and just as he did he saw the chains shake as if being electrocuted. He heard the noise as well and sighed in relief. He realized he was so close in getting electrocuted.
He sat up and stared at Adam, showing that he had no chain around his leg. Adam stared surprised and couldn't believe it until he started to yell out happily as well.
"You did it! I can't believe it! You're a genius! And I thought you were going to shoot me!" Adam yelled out.
Lawrence only smiled, but then it slowly disappeared as he realized there was no way to free Adam. Adam realized this as well and sat back glumly.
"Don't worry, I'm going to get help." Lawrence said.
"How? The doors locked." Adam said and he pointed at the wooden door across the room.
Lawrence walked over to his saw and grabbed it. "I'll use this." He said.
"But that's too weak!" Adam declared.
"We'll have to wait and see." Lawrence replied. He walked over to the door and took a deep breath and started to cut against the wood using the saw. It took some time and Lawrence realized the wooden door was weak and very old.
After about ten minutes he managed to make a small hole in the door. He reached his hand out and looked around from the outside trying to find a lock. He found it and quickly unlocked it. Lawrence pushed the door and it moved out freely showing a dark path ahead.
"I don't believe it." Adam whispered.
Lawrence looked back at Adam. "I'll be back, I promise." Lawrence vowed.
Adam stared sadly at Lawrence as he saw him leave. For about five minutes after Lawrence was gone, nothing happened. Until the so-called dead man on the floor rised up from his spot and glared at Adam. He took off a piece of fake skin and looked around the room.
Adam couldn't move, he seemed frozen on his spot and stared openmouthed at the man in front of him realizing Lawrence was right. The man was pretending to be dead.
"The key to that chain is in the bath tub." He said, his voice came out raspy.
Adam looked back and realized the glowing object that was supposed to be the key had fallen in a pipe hole in the bathtub.
"Looks like your friend was a lot clever than you." The man rasped out.
"No…" Adam whispered. The man walked over to the door and stared back at Adam than shut the lights leaving the room into darkness. The man closed the door as well hearing Adam's echoing screams.
Perhaps the man had left because the cops would be arriving soon.
Lawrence ran down the path until he came upon a ladder and climbed up. He reached to the top and looked around, the place appeared to be a warehouse. Lawrence ran out of the place as quickly as possible. He went through some doors until he finally came outside blinking at the sudden brightness. He looked around and realized how much he missed the outside world.
Lawrence went to look for help spotting a couple walking down the road.
Adam yelled and yelled until his throat felt raw. He stopped and spent practically five hours in the quiet place. He thought he heard rats running around the place. He had a though Lawrence had forgotten about him. Adam suddenly began to think he was going to die here after all.
The cops soon arrived after Lawrence had called them, they had went down the sewers and went looking for Adam after Lawrence had said their was another man trapped down their. Now the only thing was left was to find Lawrence's family.
Lawrence asked a police officer what time it was, five forty eight. Lawrence began to grow worried that there wouldn't be time to save his family.
Adam shivered as he felt something brush against his back. Adam yelled and stood up realizing there were rats around here after all. He couldn't see anything, but he did hear the screech as rats ran along the floor.
Adam was about to sit back down when he saw the door fly wide open revealing a little light. He spotted cops running in with their guns pointed around the room trying to see if their was a threat.
"Hey over here!" Adam yelled.
One cop found the light switch and turned it on making Adam squint into the brightness. But that didn't matter to him, help had come after all.
Lawrence's family was safe after the police had received a phone call from them. Lawrence grew so releived he felt as if his world was perfect again. After about a half hour, his family arrived and looked at Lawrence releived he was okay.
Lawrence saw his family and ran over to them giving hugs and kisses. Lawrence never wanted to be seperated from his family ever again.
Three weeks later
Adam sat at the foot of his couch watching TV. He skimed through the channels until he found a channel he liked. He watched football for a little while until the phone rang.
Adam turned off the TV and got up to answer the phone. He entered the kitchen and grabbed the phone from the receiver.
"Yeah?" Adam said.
"Hello Adam, are you ready for round two?" Said a very familiar and raspy voice.
Adam dropped the phone as he realized who it was. He stood frozen not beleiving the killer was after him again.
