Lawrence approached the payphone.

Lawrence- "Bad move Lawrence, bad move…"

He put a quarter into the payphone and dialed his wife's number.

Allison- "Larry…"

Lawrence- "I need to see you."

Allison- "No, Larry that is the last thing you will do!"

Lawrence- "I need to explain what's going on, I had to help that madman or he was going to kill me, you, and Diana."

Allison- "You don't leave our family like that…you just don't."

She was sitting at her kitchen table, anger in her face. She was furious. Lawrence had left them for three years, and then just reapers and thinks it's perfectly fine.

Lawrence- "Something's going to happen soon. Something that is going to change me forever, and I don't know if I'm going to make it out ok."

Allison- "I'm hanging up the phone…"

Lawrence- "I'm sorry Allie."

She didn't hang up the phone.

Lawrence- "I'm sorry for leaving you and Diana when you guys needed me the most, I'm sorry I had resented you in our marriage, I'm sorry for everything. I love you more then anything, and nothings going to change that."

Allison paused, and she tried to hold back her tears. She put the phone down, her hands shaking. She picked the phone back up.

Allison- "When…when can I see you."

Lawrence sighed.

Lawrence- "When this is all over. Good bye Allison."

He hung up the phone on the receiver. He sat in the phone booth, and tears pored down his eyes as he cried hysterically.

Lawrence- "I'm so sorry…"

Matt meanwhile was walking around the carnival. He sat down on a bench, rubbing his head from the huge headache he had. He could only save so few, and then the rest would die. Why was Matt even thinking this over? He would save those closest to him.

Matt- "Got to survive."

He looked two large building. One of them had a picture of a woman who was recently on his hit list, Allie, and the other had a picture of his mother. Women were mainly the ones that he had to kill, since they couldn't control themselves when they saw what happened behind closed doors in the mafia.

Matt- "Here I come mom."

He went through the building with a picture of his mother on it. Inside, a bunch of lights flashed on him. Inside, he saw a whole obstacle course. He was on a platform when he entered, and in the center of the large building was a hoop of fire, sharp stakes sticking out from the sides, and the floor had a heated surface. Matt almost fell on the surface. Across from him he saw a woman, and she had a large glass mirror suspended in front of her.

Matt- "Mom!"

He suddenly noticed that it wasn't his mom. It was Allie.

Matt- "What the fuck are you doing here!"

He looked toward Allie, then at the exit nervously. What was going on? Above him, a puppet swung down on a bar, it's hands grabbing onto the bar.

"Hello Matthew. If you have entered this door, then you wanted to save your mother. You need to learn that human life, no matter who it is, is sacred. One person, who you may think nothing of, may have a large lovely family, such as Allie here. She had threatened to rat you out to the police, so you had her on your hit list. Now I ask you, when placed in a situation, will you help a stranger in whom you were only going to kill hours ago? You must make your way across the obstacle course before the 60-second timer is up, and unlock her with the key in your right pocket. For if you do not, the mirror in front of her will shatter, piercing her body, killing her. Live or die Matthew, you make the choice."

The 60-second timer began. Matt paced back and forth.

Allie- "HELP ME PLEASE MATT!"

Matt- "This was supposed to be my fucking mom! Not you!"

He started to cry, and tears wept down his face.

Allie- "I won't tell the cops anything, I won't do any of that…"

Matt- "THAT DOESN'T MATTER!"

He took a deep breath, and then looked at the obstacle course that awaited him.

Matt- "I'm going to get you out, just hold on."

He was calm now. Well, not really. Matt jumped onto a large piece of wood sticking out from the side of the building. He hung on it, careful not to fall into the hot floor. He saw a platform ahead.

Matt- "I'm going to jump to this platform to get balanced, then I'll be closer!"

Allie- "Go!"

Matt jumped onto the platform and landed with a THUD. He saw a ring of fire ahead of him. Matt sighed.

Matt- "I can't do that…"

Allie- "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Allie started to hyperventilate. Matt saw this, and then dived through the ring of fire. He landed on platform high on top of the building. He then saw a zip line heading over to Allies spot. He grabbed onto the zip line, balanced himself, getting ready.

Matt- "Alright Allie, I'm going to Zip line over to there, and then I'll give you the key. You need to be ready though!"

Allie- "I can't do this, I can't do this, get me out of here!"

Matt- "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! IF I CAN TAKE AWAY A LIFE, I CAN SAVE ONE."

He zip lined across to Allie. He landed next to her, but a bear trap latched onto his leg.

Matt- "AHHH!"

He handed Allie the key. She hastily unlocked her collar, and flew forward, as the glass mirror exploded. She landed in Matt's arms.

Matt- "It's ok, it's ok."

His arms held her as she laid with him.

Allie- "Thank you, thank you."

She continued to weep, and Matt held her. He needed to continue on with his tests, and had no time, but somehow he knew he had time to hold her and comfort her with the fact that everything was going to be alright.

There was just two things wrong with this situation. The first, that in front of Matt and Allie at a doorway, only about 10 feet away, there was an eye in the peephole looking back at both of them, and second, a timer had never started on the trap, it was rigged to go off when he put the key inside.

(Tell me what you think of that ending ;). Next chapter is going to have Gordon, Jason, Fisk, Hoffman, and The Pendulum Killer all in one. Story is almost over soon guys, I hope you continue to read until the very end, which is approaching)
