Lawrence Gordon was sitting inside of his office. Bad memories flashed through his head, through the past. All the mistakes he made. Behind Lawrence, Carla entered inside.
Carla- "Lawrence, can I talk to you?"
Surprised, Larry turned around to her.
Lawrence- "Yes, yes sit down."
Carla, embarrassed, sat down. Lawrence hadn't talked to Carla much since after his incident in the bathroom where that madman had put him. He regretted sleeping with Carla, and he found out weeks before today that she was going to get engaged. He couldn't be more happy for her, and himself.
Carla- "Well…I just wanted to talk to you on what happened three years ago. I was young, and foolish back then. I'm getting married now, and I just want to tell you this so we have a understanding on what happened. And I would want no one else most of all but you to come to my wedding."
She handed him an invitation in an envelope. Lawrence smiled. He was happy she came to him with this, because he truly missed talking to her. Relationship or not, she was a very nice girl, and very smart.
Lawrence- "I wouldn't miss it for anything."
*Que flashback*
Lawrence had climbed out of Jigsaws lair, and he was limping to the police station. It was raining very hard. He was weak, and he needed to get help. Cars passed by him on the street.
Lawrence- "Someone, help!"
His voice was hoarse. He tripped on a rock and staggered forward. He stood to the side of the road, and tried to wave down a car. Suddenly, in front of him, a car stopped. The car motioned for him to get in.
Lawrence- "Thank god."
He was about to go for the door of the car, when the car sped up, and knocked Lawrence over the windshield. He landed on the ground with a *THUD*. 2 of his teeth fell out, and he started to hyperventilate as the rain poured in on him. His wanted to see Allison and Diana again, not be here. He wanted to apologize for everything, Carla, the job. The car door opened up and none other than Detective Hoffman got out.
Hoffman- "Oh no you don't."
He grabbed Lawrence and shoved him into the backseat of the car, Lawrence was passed out. Hoffman got into the car, and drove off.
An hour later, Lawrence woke up. He was shackled down, and his mouth was being held open by two metal hooks.
Lawrence- "AAAHH!"
He struggled to get out of the metal shackles that were on him. He was in a chair, and around him, it was a normal apartment. Lawrence was confused, very confused. A door opened next to him, and Hoffman came out.
Lawrence- "Who the hell are you, who the hell are you!"
Hoffman- "Shut the fuck up."
He punched Lawrence in the stomach. Lawrence flinched. Hoffman circled around Lawrence.
Hoffman- "You fight, when you know what it is you have done."
Lawrence- "What do you want from me…"
A tear slipped down Lawrence's face. Hoffman continued to circle Lawrence.
Hoffman- "What do I want? Vengeance for my parents. They both got shot, 10 years ago. You were their doctor, and you were supposed to help them. Who did you take first? A famous movie star that happened to be in town at the same time."
Lawrence- "Wha…"
He suddenly remembered. Two people had been rushed to the emergency room, gun shots in both of them. A movie star that was in the city had also been injured on the set of a movie, so Lawrence had to take the movie star first. He saved their life, but when he came to help the two people who had been shot it was too late.
Lawrence- "I'm sorry, I tried all I can…"
Hoffman- "It was your choice! YOU'RE CHOICE!"
Lawrence- "I'm so sorry…please don't kill me."
Hoffman laughed, and then turned to Lawrence. He stopped circling Lawrence and looked him in the eyes. All Lawrence saw in his eyes was the eyes of the devil, of a monster.
Hoffman- "I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to give you the same choice you gave my parents, none. Help John with his work, or I kill your family. I know where they live, and I'll slaughter them to pieces. If you refuse, I press this button below my foot, and your mouth will be ripped open from both sides."
Lawrence had to think of a way out. He couldn't help John.
Lawrence- "Why do you want me to help John…"
Hoffman- "Because, the old man has an old saying that is 'Good doesn't lead to bad nor bad to good' but I disagree. If I have to help out John by some blackmail scam, and the opportunity comes along for the man who killed my parents to help, then he's going to fucking suffer too."
Lawrence paused. Hoffman's parents were the last thing on his mind, he was thinking about what to say. If he said yes, his life would change. He would be a murderer. Or wasn't he a murderer already? He left Adam in that bathroom.
Lawrence- "I need something first…"
Hoffman- "I'm listening."
Lawrence- "Let Adam out of that bathroom. Let him live, and I won't go to the police about this once I get out. You have my word."
Hoffman- "Fine."
He hit a red button. The metal straps on the trap unstrapped, and Lawrence was let free.
Hoffman- "From now on, you work for me. You will obey to John too, but if I have anything I need, you help me. You never leave my sight."
He opened the door to his apartment, and motioned for Lawrence to leave.
Hoffman- "You first."
*End flashback*
Carla got up, and so did Lawrence. There was an awkward pause between them, where no words were spoken. She hugged him, and they embraced each other for those few seconds. Carla started to cry.
Carla- "I missed you so much."
Lawrence- "I missed you too."
She smiled at his words. Suddenly outside, Lawrence heard a police siren, and the sound of cars.
Lawrence- "The hell is that."
Outside, Jason and Fisk got out of their car and went behind the line of police cars.
Jason- "Fisk, if we catch this man, then I'll let everything between us go."
Fisk- "That would be great Jason."
Jason took a megaphone from his car, and put it to his lips.
Jason- "Dr Gordon, come out of the building, we have the place surrounded. You're under arrest for aiding in the murders of the Jigsaw killer. Come out with your hands up, if you do not, we will shoot you on sight."
Lawrence heard these words, and so did Carla.
Carla- "What the…"
Lawrence- "Shit…"
Lawrence grabbed his brown leather jacket off the counter, and took out a magnum from it. He checked inside, and made sure there was six bullets.
Carla- "Dr Gordon, what's going on."
Lawrence- "Carla you need to listen to me, I had nothing to do with this. This is all a big mix up, you have my word. But I need you to distract them for me, or I will go to prison for life for something I never did. Can you do that Carla?"
Carla- "No, get the hell off of me!"
Lawrence- "Carla wait…I didn't do any of this!"
Carla ran out of his room, and slammed the door. Outside, Jason took out his M9. He climbed on top of a police car, and turned to the rest of the police officers and detectives.
Jason- "Everyone listen up! What we're dealing with in there is a deadly individual, the one who has helped to kill over 50 civilians and cops. If you see him, shoot on sight, or he will kill you. His name is Lawrence Gordon. I want SWAT covering every exit of this building, no one gets out or enters in."
(Writers note: Tell me what you think of this chapter! So yes, Lawrence is on the run, and there will be flashbacks with him and John to explain more things. Next chapter will be a flashback with Jason, Fisk, and Hoffman, to tell how they know Lawrence was helping Jigsaw. After that, the first trap will begin with Matt...)
