We came through the empty hallway from where the gun and door was. I was beginning to wonder if there would be any light of where we are heading to. Then
suddenly, a red light appeared as Sherlock and I got on the entrance of the interior. There was a two shapes that formed in the unsuspecting light. A shape
of a woman and a chair. Sherlock stepped forward closer, but realized what was in front of us. Another tape player!
It was on a table close to us, but not close to where the woman was. I tried desperately to see who it was. The woman didn't squirm nor mutter a word at our presence. I was wondering if she had been drugged the same way we had been in that first room. Sherlock places his left hand on the tape player. He closes his eyes to think about what to do next in the situation we were both placed in. It was starting to get on my nerves of being somewhere that may kill you at any moment. I stared at the unconscious woman who seemed tied up in the chair. Then looking for any signs of traps, I tilted my head from down to up to see if there was any. I could see from looking down to where the chair was that there was four bear traps placed all around her. As I look up, there is an even bigger bear trap chained from above next to the red lit lamp. I breathe in some air and breathe out to not look scared. Sherlock had his eyes open when I turned to him. He had been thinking carefully. Then he said in an solemn voice.
"Of what is based on what I am reading, it says 'Landlady'."
For the first time, Sherlock looked worried about this and it made me wonder if these games the gameplayer is having us do is actually getting to Sherlock now. All things end once Sherlock picks up the tone of his voice and says, "Very well, the game is on!"
Sherlock pressed the play button and the same voice came through on the recording. Both of us became silent as we were going to listen to this maniac's instructions. I close my eyes to just let the smell of decay out of my senses, so that I wouldn't feel nauseous on what will be the third game. So as one minute went by as the recording was silent, the voice came on with no hint of remorse.
"Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson. You are probably wondering why there is someone tied up in front of you." says the voice darkly, "This is a person who knows both of you quite well. Figure out a way to save her. As the timer starts, the bear traps will clatter towards the victim. You have sixty seconds."
"That's no time!" I exclaimed. Sherlock laid the tape player down and went straight to where the lady was held. Running to help out, I take the chains holding one bear trap from the front out. The bear trap set off as I moved it away and I heard a clank. The bear trap from above the lady's head went down. I thought quickly that the chains were triggers on bringing the bear trap down. I looked at Sherlock for help, but I could see he was busy doing something else. He went straight in to where the tied up lady in the front and began to pull.
The pulling wouldn't budge and we had 20 seconds to save her. Sherlock said immediately as he was pulling the ropes off, "John, don't pull anymore traps away. Unfortunately, the chair is nailed to the floor. Come help me take her away from this chair!"
I obeyed the order and rushed over to get her off with Sherlock's help. The poor woman had her mouth tied up so she couldn't speak. We had her over each of our shoulders to lift her off. It was 10 seconds in and we went as careful as possible to not injure this woman. Finally as the ten seconds ended, bear trap from above came down and broke the chair into big splinters. We made it out alive!
Then the lamp suddenly turned from red to a yellow color which made the room brighter. I blinked repeatedly as my eyes were already getting used to the darkness. Is it going to keep going like this? From being into the dark and then suddenly getting blinded by the light afterwards? Sherlock and I sat down on the floor covered in hay and let go of the woman's arms that had been across our shoulders. I shook my head to get the stress out to relieve it. Then I looked to see who the woman was. And I almost let out a yell.
