"Adam Stanheight lost the game," Amanda Young said, speaking for John. "We can't just simply break the rules because you want to play hero."

"Papa, you teach one should be appreciative of one's life once they have seen death." Tabby said, trying to ignore Amanda (she hated how Amanda thought she was Jigsaw..).

"Adam Stanheight has nothing to live for." Mark said from his desk. "He's unneeded in this world.."

"He can help us." Tabby argued. "He's a photographer." she turned back to her father. "Papa, you're doing enough as it is, you shouldn't have to take photos, design and build games."

"We can hire someone to take the rest of the photos." Mark pointed out.

"Why waste the money when we have someone who will do it for free rotting away in the bathroom? Besides, what will happen if this person suddenly becomes curious, finds out about us and reports us?"

"Simple," said Amanda with her know-it-all voice. "we'll just put them in a trap."

"Why? Because of curiosity? You shouldn't punish a person for being human."

"Tabitha, you think it's wise to let a man like Adam be set free? Have you learned nothing I've taught you?" John asked.

The room was quiet for a moment. Tabby looked at her father and then quickly looked away, staring at the floor. She remembered the apple she had in her hand and found the courage to speak once again. She met her father's eyes once more and spoke..

"Everyone deserves a chance. You, Papa said so once yourself.. Adam screwed up, he didn't take the chance given to him.. he deserves a chance to prove he's worth of the life he'll be given."

The room was filled with an eerie, uncomfortable silence. Tabby glanced at Amanda who did not looked pleased with her, Tabby didn't care. She looked over at Mark who looked away immediately, Tabby felt a bit betrayed.

"The human body can withstand about a week without any source of food or water depending on the human being. Adam has been in the bathroom for about three days," John said, standing. He began to walk toward the door leading out of his workshop, Amanda quickly following him. "If Adam is alive tomorrow, we will see what he is willing to lose.. He must not be touched until then."

John walked passed Tabby who turned around and watched him as he and Amanda were heading out.

"Where are you going, Papa?" she asked.

"To get a few things for our next game." John said. He turned his head over to Hoffman. "Take care of things while I'm gone, Mark."

Amanda made sure she gave a glare to Tabby before she closed the door behind her. Tabby shook her head and turned back around only to jump when she saw Mark was standing right behind her.

"What?" Tabby asked. The fact Mark was standing right behind her and looking at her with an intense, furious look scared her.

Suddenly, Mark grabbed Tabby by her arms and squeezed her a little. She let out a cry, dropped her apple and looked up at him.

"What are you doing..?" Tabby said. She forgot how strong Mark was.

"What are you doing? Huh, Tabitha? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Mark asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think just because you're Jigsaw's daughter it gives you some kind of free pass? He will test you, do you not understand? You aren't safe." Mark explained to her.

"I know.." Tabby said, unable to meet Mark's eyes.

"You're willing everything for a nobody?" Mark asked.

Tabby finally met his eyes and he took this as a yes and then threw her to the side. He stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Tabby sniffled and saw Billy sitting on a table. She walked over to him, held him in her hands and looked at him.

"You're the only one out of the others who isn't pissed off or disappointed in me.." Tabby said to her puppet friend. She cried and hugged Billy tightly.

She knew she was gambling everything, she knew Mark was absolutely right.. she was anything but safe from the games of Jigsaw.

(A/N: Yay! Another chapter~ Review with constructive criticism are welcome! Also, I like Adam's last name to be Stainheight because it's so in the film even if it was rumored (or said to be) Faulker.. so if I offended or caused hatred in some for using Stanheight.. my apologizes~)
