Saw 3 Chapter 12

After a few minutes without Sabrina attempting to get up, someone appeared in the room with her. Amelia and Maya watched on the screen as Samuel came in, retrieved the bone marrow, and placed it in a secret shoot.

"Can you walk?" Samuel asked Sabrina.

She shook her head slightly. One hand was firmly placed on her hip.

"Can you sit up?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"Can you speak?"

She licked her chapped lips and said, "Yes," in a quiet voice.

"Have you given up?"

"I c-can't move. It hurts t-too much." Sabrina said.

Samuel took a capsule out of his pocket. He piped off the cap and let two pills fall out. "These will help with the pain." He dropped them on the bed by her hand and back away.

Sabrina grabbed the pills and dry swallowed them.

"While the kick in, we can do level 6 here. But the final level must be done out there." Samuel said.

Back in the control room, Amelia shook her head. "He's helping her. I built that whole room for level six for nothing." She swiped some papers off the table.

"Looks like you're not the only one changing our plans." Maya said.

Amelia gave Maya an annoyed look.

A weird air sound came in the room. Amelia went over to a slot and grabbed the bone marrow extractions.

"Has that always been there?" Maya asked.

Amelia smirked at Maya. "Worry about that later. Now, we have to do surgery."

"Do you even know what you're doing?" Maya asked.

Amelia grabbed a large first aid kit from under the couch and opened it up. "We have everything we need. I've been practicing on dolls when you're not around. or sleeping. I can do this. At the very least, I can prep you while we wait for dad to come back."

"It's crazy to think that Sabrina is just about us." Maya said.

Upstairs, in level 1 of the warehouse, Samuel conducted level 6 of the game.

"Lucky for you level 6 only requires your voice," Samuel said.

Sabrina stared up the ceiling. There was a square design up there and a small air vent. What sort of building was this? Was it a hospital? An asylum? Am I on the bottom floor? There's no way I can go down any stairs. Do they have a wheelchair? How long does this medicine take to kick in? Was it a real pill or a placebo?

"What happened to Mallory Jacobs?" He asked her.

She leaned her neck upward and her eyebrows narrowed. "What?"

"Mallory Jacobs. Come on. The timer is still counting down." Samuel said. He put his hands on the end of the bed frame.

"Why do you care? It was two years ago." Sabrina said.

"Tick tock. Veronica and Nick are waiting." Samuel said.

"You took them too?" Sabrina's head fell back on the bed. "Mallory was our friend. I met her in middle school. We began having problems in high school but we worked through them."

"I don't care about your defense. Just say what happened. You have 13 minutes left."

"She was losing her friends. Us. We had a falling out and she just couldn't take not having us around. We spend so much time together. Went on trips together. We hung out almost every weekend at after school. We were a big part of each other's lives. She lost all of us. She jumped off the bridge because she was lonely." Sabrina said.

"You've just wasted 30 seconds of your time." Samuel said.

"You weren't there. You have no proof that anything else happened." Sabrina said. There was an attitude in her voice.

"Mallory had other friends. She wasn't lonely." Samuel said. "Don't waste your time. Or your friends."

"You think I pushed her off that bridge don't you?" Sabrina said. She scooted up on the bed, raising the upper half of her body. "I didn't. No amount of force will make me admit to something that didn't happen. I won't have everyone believing I murdered my friend."

"They're going to think anyway with Ava." Samuel said. He smirked at Sabrina. "12 minutes."

Sabrina turned away. She brought her hands together, fidgeting with them. There was blood on her hands from her injury. "It was a dare. To stand on the edge of the bridge. The outside of the railing." Sabrina relived that moment. "I dared her to prove her loyalty to me. It was stupid. She was turning to climb back over, and she slipped. She fell into the water..." Sabrina covered her mouth. "I looked over the railing for her. I couldn't see her. When I heard sirens, I panicked. I ran and I found Ava and used her as an alibi. I told Veronica and Nick that she was depressed and she hid it very well. She only confessed to me. I had to make it look like a suicide."

Samuel took it all in before replying. "You May move on to level 7. 10 minutes." He backed out of the room."

"We were wrong," Maya said. "She didn't kill Mallory."

Amelia gave Maya a look. "Uh, yeah she did."

"It was an accident," Maya said.

Bing.

"Samuel's back. Time for your surgery." Amelia said.

As Samuel conducted Maya's surgery, Sabrina's medicine kicked in, relieving the pain. Sabrina was able to sit up and get off the bed. Her hip still hurt an awful lot, but it was bearable. She stumbled as she walked out of the room and followed the arrows down the hallway.
