Chapter 101 Jigsaw
Its been about a week since Johnny Tapia was killed in Cuba and since then Miami has been Drug free along with the rest of the world.
Now however though Sean was looking for someone.
In a park A man known as Logan Nelson the solider that was captured with Sean by Rebels in Iraq was playing a game of catch with his daughter Melissa.
"Nice work sweetheart." Logan said.
"She keeps this up maybe she can join the Legions baseball team." Sean said getting him to look at him in surprise.
"Sean?" Logan said before laughing as he walked towards him and pulled him into a hug. "Wow you've changed a lot since the last time I saw you ." Logan said.
"Yeah well its been about 3 years. Hey Mellisa." Sean said making her smile.
"Hey uncle Kruger." Mellisa said.
"What brings you by?" Logan asked.
"Ah just visiting NCIS and Ducky told me you just recently joined him and Palmer." Sean said before a few Police cars arrived and coming out of one of them was someone Sean and Logan had a dislike for.
"Cellphone is off for a reason, Halloran." Logan said to Detective Halloran one of the last remaining bad cops in the universe. Halloran however looked towards Sean with a frown.
"Kruger. Shouldn't you be doing something useful for a change?" Halloran said making Logan and his daughter frown.
"I seem to recall unimportant people like you are supposed to keep their traps shut." Sean said making Logan snicker while Halloran frowned. "The hell do you want?" Sean asked.
Later
"Jesus Christ." Sean said seeing a dead man with a bucket strapped to his head. Currently they were in Ducky's lab.
"Why am I not going to like whats under that bucket?" Logan asked getting a laser tool to cut it off.
"You know I distinctly recall a case that had something similar to this a few years ago." Ducky said as he and Palmer held the body down as Logan cut parts holding the bucket on top of the head. (not sure if thats true. I haven't seen the series in a while)
"Let me guess his face was messed up?" Sean asked.
"Yup." Palmer said before Logan took the bucket off and the top half of the victim's head was missing.
"Ugh." Sean said in disgust.
"Thats new." Palmer said before Sean noticed something that made him frown.
"Someone has been studying Jigsaw." Sean said seeing a piece of flesh missing on his neck in the form of a Jigsaw piece.
"Hope not. Kramer has been dead for 12 years." Halloran said.
"Who?" Palmer asked.
"You know John Kramer the Jigsaw killer?" Logan said knowing that story.
"Never heard of him." Palmer said.
"You'll have to exuse Palmer. He was rather young when the stories started about him." Ducky said before Gibbs, Abby and a African American Man walked in. Sean and Logan recognized the later immediately.
"Keith?" Sean said recognizing an old solider buddy of his when he was a kid.
"Hey Sean, Logan been a while." Keth said shaking their hands before seeing the body. "Jesus, what happened to this guy?" Keith asked.
"You tell us. Halloran brought the body here." Sean said.
"You three know each other?" Halloran asked.
"None of you're fucking business." Sean said making him frown.
"Logan was our medic in Iraq and Sean was an advisor since Lane felt he could be helpful with dealing with rebels." Keith said.
"What do we have here?" Sean said grabbing a tool and went for the jigsaw piece in the neck before pulling out a flash drive.
"Whats that?" Gibbs asked.
"A flash drive." Sean said before reading the words on it. "And there were four? Why do I not like this?" Sean asked before taking the covering off and inserted it into the device on his wrest and played it.
"The games have Begun again. And they will not stop until the sins against the innocent are atoned for. I will take care of the next four, you take care of the rest." The voice of Jigsaw said on the recording.
"That can't be right. I recognize that voice anywhere. John Kramer." Sean said.
"Thats not possible. He's been dead for 12 years." Keith said.
"Get this to the lab and see if this is a fake or not." Sean said handing the flash drive to him and he and Halloran left.
"Kramer was on your list right?" Abby asked making him nod.
"Yeah. Guy was a fucking nut job." Sean said.
Meanwhile
In an unknown location stood the remaining four players. The first one had been unable to wake up in time before his demise at the hands of buzz saws that cut the top half of his head off. The other four were two women and two men. The first woman had white skin blonde hair and brown eyes named Carly. The second woman had white skin brown hair and brown eyes named Ann. The first man was an African American man named Mitch and the last one was a man named Ryan. Currently they had collars on around their necks with Chains on them.
However suddenly a pair of red glowing eyes was seen making them jump.
"Oh, shit." Ryan said before riding towards them on a small tricycle was a doll with white make up and red swirls on the cheeks before stopping. "No thats not creepy at all." Ryan said before the doll started to laugh and the chain pulled them in further making Carly scream.
However Mitch noticed a tape player on the doll and quickly grabbed it not seeing the wire on before it was pulled off and the device pulling the four broke apart making them sigh in relief.
"Play the tape Mitch." Ryan said before a holder dropped down in front of him making him gasp before seeing three syringes in it. Each one had numbers at the top.
Not knowing what they were for Mitch played the tape.
"While I am certain that there is a desire to point fingers at me for the blood that has been shed, unless you turn that finger inward, I assure you, more blood will be lost and all will be judged. We will begin with one. One who is not only a liar, but a thief. A purse-snatcher. And when you had a chance to fix the harm that you'd done, you chose to do nothing. Now it is you who could die without the right medication. While unconscious, this deceiver among you, this criminal, was injected with a poison. One of the Syringes in front of you holds the antidote. One is a saline solution, the other, an acid that will cause an excruciating death. Inject the correct one and your chains will be released. Failure to make the right choice will result in death for you all. I ask you, what is a life worth to you?" Jigsaw asked before the tape ended.
Everyone was very tense know not knowing who it was.
"One of you fess up now." Ryan said.
"Check for marks. If he injected one of us there should be marks." Anna said making them all do so not finding any...Save one. Carly.
"Bingo." Ryan said pulling out the Syringes.
"What are you doing?" Carly asked in concern.
"Just pick a needle, Blondie." Ryan said.
"We get out of these things when you pick an antidote." Mitch said in urgency.
"What if it's the acid. I won't." Carly said.
"Look maybe just confess, Carly. Did you steal purses?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, years ago, but I didn't kill anyone." Carly said in denial.
"NO! NO! That is not the repentant attitude this guy is looking for stop lying!" Ryan yelled.
"NO! I was broke ok and yes someone died but it wasn't my fault!" Carly yelled.
"Ok choose! Or I'm gonna stick them all into you!" Ryan yelled making her yell.
"Just let her look! Do any of these numbers mean anything to you?" Mitch asked making her look till one made her freeze.
"Three dollars and fifty three cents." Carly said.
"Whats does that mean?" Anna asked.
"What a life is worth to me." Carly said before the chains started pulling them up and Ryan tried to get Carly to pick one but she wouldn't.
Once they were at the top and almost out of air though they suddenly dropped.
"Did she get..." Mitch tried to say but the words died in his throat seeing Carley with all three needles in her neck before she started convulsing on the ground as he neck started to melt having the acid inside of her before she died with blood coming out of her neck and mouth.
Anna immediately attacked Ryan for this.
"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Anna yelled.
"HEY! I just saved your life." Ryan said.
"Yeah but you took her's." Anna said.
"Stop! Both of you need to chill." Mitch said separating them. However Anna just realized something and went back to the Syringes.
"Look at this." Anna said showing the one that made Carly freeze from before showing a combination to the door.
Meanwhile
"Dentel IDs buckethead as Malcom Neale." Abby said showing the results in her lab.
"Malcom Neale?" Logan asked.
"Does that name mean something to you?" Sean asked.
"Yeah there was a case on the guy a few years back. His wife was murdered because he owed money to some mob guys." Logan said.
"Did they work for Eddie Kim?" Sean asked.
"I think so." Logan said.
"Oh I remember. Malcom Neale was a, degenerate gambler. Wife's murder was on him. He owed those guys some money." Halloran said.
"Did you ever get around to convicting those bad guys?" Sean asked making him frown.
"Scratch marks from finger nails. There was struggle, presumably with the killer." Ducky said.
"Decapitation was made by a circular saw. There are traces of ferric Oxide, hematite, in the wound." Logan said.
"Rust." Gibbs said.
"Bingo." Sean said.
"Anything off the voice recording?" Logan asked.
"The voice was a hundred percent match to John Kramer." Sean said.
"What? Come on no one just comes back from the dead." Logan said.
"It's happened before. My parents and Grandfather are proof enough of that." Sean said.
"True and given enough time we speak for the dead." Logan said.
"How did this start anyway?" Sean asked.
"Earlier today on the roof, Edgar Munsen was spouting off about starting a game right before we blew his hand off and took one to the chest. Now he's in a coma at the hospital." Keith said.
"Edger? That fucking asshole still isn't in a cell?" Sean asked not amused.
"I'm working on it." Halloran said.
"That recording said there are four more potential victims. Four people fighting for their lives." Gibbs said.
"I don't know if I should feel worried or grateful since lets face facts Gibbs most of the people who were in Kramer's games were usually bad of ungrateful people." Sean said.
"Maybe. But he's not the law." Gibbs said making him nod.
Meanwhile
Mitch was working on the combination on the door till it finally opened making him sigh in relief before they walked in.
Once they entered however though the door shut sealing them in making them jump before Mitch tried to open in.
"Why are we even here?" Mitch asked.
"Don't ask me. What about you Lolipop? Whats your story?" Ryan asked Anna making her sigh.
"My Husband killed our baby. He rolled over and suffocated our son. Our marriage fell apart after that." Anna said.
"I sold a kid a bike but he had an accident about ten minutes later." Mitch said.
"What about you?" Anna asked.
"Sold drugs, bad mortgages, cheated on my wife...Both of them. Nothing to bad." Ryan said before he saw on the wall next to a door not an exit before he grabbed a shovel and walked to it.
"HEY! Do you not think he's trying to tell us something?" Mitch yelled.
"Back the fuck up." Ryan said before he tried to open the door but the floor beneath him collapsed and he trigged another trap where wires went around his leg extremely tightly. Ryan gasped before he started screaming.
"AHHHH! The fuck!" Ryan yelled in shock before Mitch found a tape and swiftly grabbed it.
"There some kind of leaver here." Anna said seeing one in front of him.
"Here." Mitch said handing him the tape before he played it.
"There are no shortcuts in life. Please forgive the rather crude example I will make of your decision to not follow the rules. Pull the handle and you will be set free." Jigsaw said before the tape ended.
"What does he mean set free?" Ryan asked in concern.
Meanwhile
"I got a new report on Buckethead. Particles found on the body are animal feces. They also found traces of Aujeszkey's disease." Abby said to Sean.
"Aujeszkey's disease? I thought that stuff was wiped out." Sean said.
"On most modern farms. Maybe I can trace the Virus to a location." Abby said before Gibbs walked in.
"We got another victim." Gibbs said making Sean sigh.
Soon enough Sean, Logan, Ducky and Palmer arrived at the hospital where a dead woman was laying face down.
"And identification on the victim?" Sean asked.
"No. Looks like the same killer." Halloran said before pulling out a note in a bag. "This was on the body." Halloran said showing it to Sean.
"And then there were three." Sean said.
"No links so far to any of our suspects." Halloran said.
"Think it's any coincidence that Edgar Munsen happens to be a guest here?" Sean asked.
"I checked he's still out cold from this morning." Halloran said.
"Hey Sean." Logan said showing a wound in the neck that was not ordinary.
"The fuck?" Sean said taking a closer look. "I think it's safe to say she did not die from the fall." Sean said.
Soon they headed back to Ducky's lab to examine the woman.
"Holy shit." Sean said in surprise.
"What?" Halloran asked.
"It's hydrofluoric acid. Injected through the neck and carried all the way through to the heart." Logan said.
"Poor thing. No one deserves to die like that." Ducky said.
"Depends on the person it's used on really." Sean said.
"How do you two know it's hydrofluoric acid?" Halloran asked.
"Saw it in Iraq back in the day...Though never on a person." Sean said before Ducky opened her mouth showing her tongue was missing a piece of flesh in the shape of a Jigsaw piece.
"A puzzle piece." Logan said.
"Jigsaw." Abby said.
Halloran and Keith left to talk while the others examined the body.
"What's their deal? What happened in Iraq?" Halloran asked Keith who sighed.
"Sean and Logan were captured by Rebels. Logan was fucking tortured for a week and Sean was held prisoner since they knew the kind of leverage they could hold with him. Lane found them and brought them back state side." Keith said.
"Think they snapped?" Halloran asked.
"Does that look like they snapped?" Keith asked.
"They could be hiding it." Halloran said making him scoff.
"Don't push your luck. Your already on thin ice with him." Keith said.
"What about Abby?" Halloran asked.
"She might be into stuff like this considering her personalty...Why?" Keith asked.
"Just asking since she seems to get excited by this shit." Halloran said.
Meanwhile
"AHHHHH! Mother fucker! I CONFESS THAT THIS IS FUCKED UP!" Ryan yelled as his leg was getting squeezed tightly.
While this was happening Mitch and Anna went into another room that had a small TV before it turned on and one turned on under Ryan.
"Now what?" Mitch asked before spotting a remote above them and Mitch jumped to grab it but doing so made the door shut locking them inside.
"Damnit!" Anna said trying to open it before Mitch pressed a button.
On the screen appeared the same doll from before.
"In the past, you have put your own interests above others, and then lied to yourselves, and deceived the world about your callousness, your larceny, your criminality. Now you will look in the mirror and you will face who you really are. The choices you have made may cost you your life. You cannot escape the Truth. There is, however, one person who can help you. Ryan. If he pulls the lever before you are buried alive, you will live. Ryan, free yourself to free them." Jigsaw said as the screen switched over to where he was.
Once that was over the room began to fill with Grain.
"What is that?" Ryan yelled out.
"It's Grain! Ryan get us out of here!" Mitch yelled.
Meanwhile
Abby was looking at samples just when Halloran walked in.
"Whats your story, sweetheart?" Halloran asked getting a confused expression on her face.
"What are you asking, Detective?" Abby asked.
"You one of those kinky types. Love a little pain?" Halloran asked.
"Thats none of your business really. Besides if you're asking me to punish you..." Abby tried to say but he just laughed.
"To late. I got an ex-wife that tortures me every day." Halloran said.
"Probably deserve it." Abby said.
"Maybe. Where were you the night Malcom Neale got murdered?" Halloran asked.
"At home." Abby said.
"Great...Can you prove it though?" Halloran asked making her frown.
Sean was in the labs on a computer talking to his son.
"Sorry buddy but I've got some unfinished business here." Sean said before Ben 10's ex girlfriend Julie appeared on the screen. (Ben 10 alien force version) "Wheres his mother?" Sean asked.
"I think she mentioned wanting to spend some alone time with her mother and sister for a day. Don't worry we got him." Julie said holding Junior close who smiled.
"Ok love you guys. Bye." Sean said before ending the transmission just as Halloran and Keith walked in.
"What do you know about Abby?" Halloran asked making him frown.
"I don't see what business it is to you asshole." Sean said.
"Easy Sean we're just asking questions. You know a website called Jigsaw rules?" Keith asked.
"Nope. Why?" Sean asked.
"Buried deep online. Took some digging, but it's a site devoted to Jigsaw. And your girlfriend is a regular there. Downloaded some shit you cannot imagine." Halloran said making Sean scoff.
"So let me get this straight...You think Abby who has helped catch criminals for 15 fucking years is our copy cat?" Sean asked in amusement. "Why don't you do the world a favor and do some real detective work like Joe and Lance do in their cities? Unlike you they ain't fucking stupid." Sean said making him frown.
"Easy Sean." Keith said trying to prevent a fight.
"Abby is into shit like that. Its who she is we all know her likes. Her appearance should tell you that." Sean said.
"Maybe but I don't believe her story about being home alone." Halloran said.
"Well, no one asked you dip shit. Unless you have proof I suggest you buzz off." Sean said before walked past him.
"Wow he really does not like you." Keith said there was only a small few Sean hated that bad.
Meanwhile
Mitch and Anna were screaming as they were buried up to their shoulders in Grain before it finally stopped.
"Oh thank god." Mitch said before a pitchfork landed right next to him. "AHHHH!" Mitch yelled in shock before more sharp objects landed right next to them before Mitch got stabbed in the shoulder making him cry out in pain.
"RYAN! IF WE DIE YOU DIE!" Anna yelled as a few nails landed on her arm making her cry in pain.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryan yelled as he reached for the Lever and pulled it and in doing so made the wires cut off his leg making him scream in pain before the doors opened freeing Mitch and Anna.
Meanwhile
Abby was at a goth bar before Sean sat down next to her.
"Turned your cellphone off?" Sean asked making her smile.
"And yet here you are, You found me." Abby said.
"After having the Universe's greatest Detective on your side you tend to learn a few things." Sean said making her smile.
"Or maybe you just know me too well." Abby said kissing him making him chuckle.
"Maybe. Halloran is passing the blame around the lab." Sean said.
"What exactly is your deal with him anyway?" Abby asked.
"Fucking asshole is responsible for the deaths of a lot of good innocent people. Logan told me he screwed up a slam dunk case a year before the League was created. Becuase of that a predator got off free and killed an 8 year old little girl the next day. We had a huge fight after that nearly wrecked the whole lab had Lane and Ross not pulled me off. So yeah I've got a lot of issues with him." Sean said taking a drink. "So why are you really here?" Sean asked making her sigh.
"He's got people watching my place. Don't feel safe there right now." Abby said.
"You gonna tell me about this Jigsaw website?" Sean asked.
"Just something I found...When Bucket head was strung up I wasn't at home...I was...At my studio." Abby said.
"What studio?" Sean asked.
Soon enough they arrived at an abandoned facility.
"What is this place?" Sean asked before Sean bumped into something sharp. "OW!" Sean cried out in surprise.
"Uh..." Abby tried to say before she flipped on the light-switch showing something that surprised Sean.
"Wow." Sean said seeing near perfect replicas of Jigsaw's traps and inventions. "What the hell?" Sean said in surprise.
Unknown to both of them was that Keith was spying on them.
"A girl needs a hobby." Abby said making him snort in amusement.
"Erza collects swords as a Hobby. Diana buys Greek Relics. And Ivy finds rare plants. This is just strange." Sean said before his eyes landed on blender like trap. "This is new." Sean said.
"Like it? I built them all myself. Supposedly John Kramer built this for a game that took place before all the others." Abby said.
"I don't think so. None of Kramer's victims match this description." Sean said.
Later
The cop outside Edger Munsen's door was fast asleep before someone pulled the Curtains to stop anyone from seeing before something was injected into his IV bag making him wake up with a gasp before his eyes landed on the person responsible making him gasp about to yell before his mouth was covered up.
Next morning
Sean woke up with a gasp before looking at his surroundings and sighed in relief.
"Another nightmare?" Julie asked sitting up revealing her bare breasts to him.
"Something like that." Sean said before sitting up to get his pants on while she went back to sleep.
Checking his kids room he found Junior was wide awake looking out the window making him smile.
"Come on son lets get you something to eat." Sean said making Junior smile.
Meanwhile
Halloran was looking at the photo's Keith took.
"Perfect now we got probable cause." Halloran said.
"That hardly proves anything. Besides we got another issue. General Lane wants the remains of Kramer dug up to prove he's really dead. To calm the public." Keith said.
"Are you fucking kidding me? We're chasing a Ghost and I bet Kruger ordered it to throw suspicion off his girlfriend." Halloran said.
"No Sean didn't even know about it." Keith said as he left while Halloran went to his office reading on the report when Sean and Logan were captured before he got a phone call about Munsen. "He's in a fucking Coma how does he just disappear?" Halloran asked in disbelief.
Meanwhile
Anna was using a shirt to help Ryan Recover from the blood lose.
"This guy is seriously fucked up." Mitch said before the tractor in the room turned on making him raise an eyebrow before he walked over to it and opened the hood revealing another tape before playing it.
Doing so triggered a trap of rope around his feet.
"WHOA!" Mitch yelled as he was hung upside down.
"Hello, Mitch. You admitted to selling a boy a motorcycle. But you have not told the entire story, have you. Six hundred dollars for a bike you listed in excellent condition. Even though you knew the brakes were faulty. You took his six hundred dollars and delivered him to his end. He was my nephew, and he never harmed a soul." Jigsaw said as Mitch was held above a blender like trap.
"Oh shit!" Mitch yelled in shock.
"The device you see here has a unique power source. It's the same engine that graced the bike you sold my nephew. However, I assure you, the brakes for this engine works perfectly. Avoid the dangers around you, hit the motorcycle brake handle and the motor will stop. Live or die Mitch. The choice is yours." Jigsaw said as the tape ended and the engine started.
"NO!" Mitch yelled as he was lowered down. Anna quickly grabbed a metal bar and rushed up to stop the engine.
"Look I'm sorry about your nephew. Please I don't wanna die!" Mitch yelled before he tried to reach for the brakes but got his arm cut making him scream before Anna jammed the bar into the wheel making the engine stop. "Oh thank god. Anna get me outta here." Mitch yelled before the wheel destroyed the bar and resumed the engine.
"NO! NO! NO! AHHHHHHH!" Mitch screamed as he was shredded to pieces before being thrown out.
Meanwhile
"Edger Munsen was in a coma. You had one job you useless mother..." Halloran tried to say to the cop who was guarding Edger before his phone rang. "Yeah?" Halloran said.
"About to open the casket." Keith said as Lane and Ross were here along with the Press.
"Good end this nonsense once and for all." Halloran said before the casket was opened. However inside was Munsen dead with his throat slashed and piece of flesh in the form of a jigsaw piece as well.
"Uh...You may want to rethink that." Keith said.
"Why?" Halloran asked.
"Lets just say you can call off the hunt for Munsen." Keith said.
"Oh come on!" Halloran said in disbelief.
Soon enough an entire SWAT team arrived at Abby's studio and rushed in.
"Jesus Christ. Where does she get the parts for all this?" Halloran asked before he looked at the wall seeing something off before he walked towards it and pushed it revealing a secret door with news papers and magazines about Kramer.
As he pulled the light a body fell down that was completely shredded.
"JESUS!" Halloran yelled in shock before spotting a note in it. And then there were two.
"Two more." Halloran said to Keith as they walked out.
"So Abby just leaves the body in her studio?" Keith asked skeptical.
"Find her and Kruger. And Logan to. I'm sure they're all connected to this." Halloran said getting in his car and drove off making him sigh.
"He's bitting off more than he can chew." Keith said.
Sean and Logan were leaving the later's house when they saw Keith with a pair of Cuffs in hand.
"Need you two to show me those wrests." Keith said.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Sean asked in disbelief.
"Listen I have photos of you and Abby in that studio of hers full of Kramer's old inventions." Keith said.
"Wait you saw us?" Sean asked.
"Yeah I saw you. Just saw a third body in there that looks like it's been through a meat grinder." Keith said.
"Oh for gods sakes. Someone is trying to frame us." Sean said.
"Do you know where Abby is?" Keith asked.
"Look We'll tell you everything we know." Sean said as they went inside. "We know who's behind this and so do you. Who found the fucking body at her studio?" Sean asked.
"Halloran." Keith said.
"He had motive. He wanted Edger dead. Who ordered the targeting of the Remote. Everybody targeted the trigger, but did anyone see what Halloran was aiming at? He had not intention to let Edger walk. A fucking lose end." Sean said before getting serious. "Do you think he knows your still with IA?" Sean said making him scoff.
"How do you know that? And don't give me the I know you line." Keith said.
"But I do. I looked through your file after you came in." Sean said making him nod.
"You know, I've been onto Halloran since even before all this shit started. IA and the Legion have him connected to multiple homicides going back years. Now these latest Jigsaw murders the three bodies we brought you, we found out they're mixed up in Halloran's cases." Keith said.
"Bring him in. He's trying to frame us. I don't even know what he's got against me." Logan said making him scoff.
"Really? You called Sean down here when he screwed up the first slam dunk case you worked on. Started a huge fist fight. Said he was a moron in the press. Twice." Keith said.
"No, he said he was an impulsive asshole. Which is true all things considered." Sean said.
"You both blame him for what happened to Christine, don't you?" Keith said making Sean frown.
"Don't push it." Sean said. Christine was Logan's wife and Sean's old College teacher. Seeing Logan was still a little depressed after being tortured by the rebels during Iraw he set them up on a blind date with each other and a couple years later they ended up married to each other and had Mellisa. Of course a couple years ago she was killed in a home invasion.
"Look, I don't know how to prove Halloran's the Copycat." Keith said.
"I do. Let Logan open Edger up. We match that bullet to his gun we got our proof." Sean said getting him to nod.
Soon enough they were back in the lab and Logan was removing the Bullet from Edger.
"What kind of fire arm do you use these days?" Logan asked setting the bullet in water to remove the blood.
"Glock 22. Most cops these days do. Except for Halloran. He's got a 17." Keith said before Logan showed the bullet.
"9x19 Parabellum. That's a Glock 17." Logan said.
"Bingo." Sean said making Keith sigh.
"Ok." Keith said bagging it. "You two go home for now." Keith said.
Sean soon arrived at his house seeing it was empty before he pulled out his phone.
"Abby. Where the hell are you? Call me, it's urgent." Sean said before hanging up and turned around and saw Abby in front of him. "JESUS CHRIST!" Sean yelled jumping back. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Sean asked in annoyance.
"I don't know how that body got..." Abby tried to say.
"It's okay. They have their sights set on Halloran." Sean said calming her down.
"I think I know where the game is being played. I found the farm." Abby said.
"Great let me call Keith." Sean said pulling out his phone.
"No. Halloran's behind this. We can't trust the cops." Abby said.
"What? You to see this game for yourself. Abby you have no idea the shit I've seen from the remains." Sean said.
"We have a chance to help the last two players." Abby said making him sigh before pulling out a pistol.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Sean said as they went to his car and drove off. Unknown to them however though was that Halloran was following them.
"I got you now you son of a bitch." Halloran said.
Meanwhile
Anna and Ryan were in chains in another room after falling asleep due to exhaustion and blood loss. However they were not in the room alone. In the room was a hooded man before he took off his hood and Ann recognized him right away.
"John? John Kramer?" Anna asked in shock.
"Hello, Anna." Jigsaw said.
"Whats going on?" Ryan asked in confusion.
"Your about to play a game. Your final test." Jigsaw said.
"I already passed your test. Look at my fucking Leg!" Ryan yelled.
"That wasn't your test, Ryan. And that wouldn't have happened if you had simply played by the rules. But you don't like rules. You want me to show mercy. You who hasn't even taken a single step to confess his sins for not one death but three?" Jigsaw asked making him widen his eyes. "Your life of recklessness started in high school. And only grew worse. You lied to the authorities multiple times pinning the blame on the Driver...Your deceased best friend. Do you know what you did to his family? And you've only gotten far worse over the years." Jigsaw said.
"I did it. I fucking did it but it was so long ago." Ryan said.
"And you Anna." Jigsaw said.
"John you know me. I didn't do anything. You know me." Anna said making him smirk.
"Do I? You constantly claimed that your husband rolled over and suffocated your son...But we both know thats not true. I was awake when it happened." Jigsaw said making her eyes widen in horror. "You killed your son with a pillow to silence him...One of the worlds greatest gifts and you killed him and instead of taking responsibility for your actions you pinned the blame on your Husband who did nothing wrong. Your lie made him go mad and killed himself out of grief for a crime he did not commit and you moved on. Killing two innocent lives." Jigsaw said making her tremble.
"What are you gonna do to us?" Ryan asked making him chuckle.
"Me. I'm not gonna do anything. You have to simply assume responsibility. For who you are." Jigsaw said finishing a device.
Meanwhile
Sean continued to drive to the farm where the game was being held.
"This is it." Abby said as they parked by a deserted farm.
"How do you know this is it?" Sean asked.
"Tuck's pig farm. It was shut down due to an outbreak of the disease. The farm was in Jill Tuck's family. Jigsaw's wife. Place has been abandoned ever since." Abby said but they saw the lights were on.
"Well, someone is here." Sean said as they got out.
From a distance Halloran watched them before he got a call from Keith but ignored it.
With Keith
"Damnit." Keith said as he got ignored.
Currently he and a few officers were in Halloran's house before one of them found something in the freezer.
"Sir." A female officer said pulling out a bag with four Jigsaw pieces of flesh making him narrow his eyes.
"Son of a bitch. We need to bring him in now!" Keith said.
Back with Sean and Abby
"This place gives me the creeps." Sean said with a flashlight before they saw a few chains hanging above them with collars. Going to the back they saw five metal doors and walked in seeing some blood on the wall before they walked to the last one seeing more blood then the others. "Bet this is where Buckethead was sliced and diced." Sean said.
"It's Jigsaw." Abby said.
"Stop. Jigsaw is dead. Has been for 12 years." Sean said.
"Is he?" Abby asked before they heard noises.
Back with the survivors
Jigsaw picked up his invention before setting it down.
"Did you know that pigs are highly compassionate animals? They show distress if they see any other animal, including humans, suffering." Jigsaw said.
"What about you? John. Where is your compassion?" Anna asked.
"We all have a thumb on the scale, Anna. For good or for evil. You've been weighing in on the wrong side of the scale. Both of you. Now, if you want to achieve your freedom, you have to learn. You have to realize that you've been doing it backwards. So i'm gonna give you an opportunity to turn it all around." Jigsaw said pulling out a shotgun making them tense up before he put in a shell. "Here's your key to freedom." Jigsaw said placing it down. "It's all up to you. Now the game's simple. the best ones are. You have one shotgun and one shell." Jigsaw said before taking his stuff out of the room. "Like I said, it's up to you." Jigsaw said before leaving and closed the door.
Back with Sean and Abby
Sean and Abby entered the next room looking for the survivors.
"How can you say Jigsaw isn't dead? He's dead. Autopsy and everything was performed on his body." Sean said.
"His will lives through his followers." Abby said.
"Yeah no nut job would be crazy enough to start up the games again. Anyone that did I made sure were put into the smallest cell possible." Sean said before they found the Blender trap. This made Sean frown since it looked Identical to the one Abby made. "Abby?" Sean asked getting her attention. "How exactly did you get the designs for this again?" Sean asked.
"I found it off the web? Why?" Abby asked.
Suddenly Halloran jumped Sean from behind putting his gun to his head.
"I knew it! I knew you were a big fat lie you cocksucker!" Halloran yelled before Sean punched him in the face.
"RUN!" Sean yelled getting Abby to do that before Halloran hit Sean in the head with his gun knocking him out before he chased her down.
Back with the survivors
"He wants us to kill each other." Ryan said looking at the Shotgun.
"He wants me to kill you." Anna said standing up.
"No! No don't!" Ryan yelled trying to crawl to it but couldn't before she reached it. "This is exactly what he wants." Ryan said.
"Thumb on the scale." Anna repeated his words from before.
"No please don't." Ryan said.
"Good or evil. That's what he said. We have to play by the rules. My only key to freedom is to kill you." Anna said picking it up.
"NO!" Ryan yelled before he covered his face but then remembered something else he said. "Backwards. He said we had it backwards!" Ryan yelled before she pulled the trigger.
BANG!
However the blast fired backwards instead of forward blasting half her face off making him gasp in shock as she fell down dead.
"Oh my god!" Ryan yelled in shock before he noticed something. He saw two broken keys inside the shell one green and one yellow. Looking at his feet he noticed he had the yellow one and that key was messed up beyond repair making him start crying seeing thier chance for freedom was lost.
"Anna. We could have been free." Ryan cried out.
Meanwhile
Halloran was looking for Anna but suddenly someone stabbed a needle into his neck making him pass out.
Minutes later
Sean suddenly woke up with a groan before he saw Halloran and noticed both of them had some kind of collars on them.
"Halloran wake up!" Sean yelled making him do so.
"What the fuck are these things?" Halloran asked.
"Careful these are powerful laser cutters." Sean said before the loudspeaker turned on.
"Hello, gentelmen. You came looking for the game. Congratulations, you found it. You are the final two players." Jigsaw said.
"That can't be." Halloran said not believing the voice he was hearing.
"You may recognize the device around your collar, Kruger. These laser cutters slice through tissue, and bone, like butter. The most powerful blade on the planet. You both have an opportunity to live. All you need to do is confess. It's that easy." Jigsaw said.
"Confess what?" Sean asked.
"If you admit to the reason that you deserve to die, You can escape death. I will be listening. Make your choice." Jigsaw said.
"How are you alive? How are you still alive!" Halloran yelled.
"The game will select one of you to begin in 60 seconds. Unless, of course, someone chooses to go first." Jigsaw said.
"Ok." Halloran said pressing Sean's button pulling him back into the wall.
"You fucking asshole!" Sean yelled before the lasers turned on. "Ok I admit it I fucked up 12 years ago. I let my anger control me and brutalized Russo. I was just so angry back then before I realized my mistake." Sean said before the Lasers got closer making him yell out before they reached his neck and Sean gasped as blood started pouring out of his neck before he was released and died making Halloran smirk.
"So long Kruger." Halloran said before.
"Your turn, detective." Jigsaw said pulling him into the wall.
"NO! I WON! I WON!" Halloran yelled before the Lasers activated making him look up and saw the lasers destroying the ceiling. "Oh, Shit!" Halloran yelled.
"Confess." Jigsaw said.
"Okay. I did some shitty things. But the system was broken back then I tried to fix it." Halloran said only for the lasers to get closer. "Okay! I tampered with evidence. I took bribes. I put innocent people away!" Halloran yelled and again the lasers got closer. "Murderers and Rapists walked!" Halloran yelled and again they got closer. "PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! I DID IT!" Halloran yelled and finally they shut off.
Halloran sighed in relief before looking up seeing the damage before looking at Sean's dead body and the ceiling above him. But he noticed something that shouldn't be there...There was no damage.
(Insert Saw theme)
Impossibly Sean started to move as if he was never injured making him widen his eyes.
"No. Thats not possible." Halloran said before Sean took the collar off showing some blood Viles in it. "Kruger? Your working with him?" Halloran asked before Sean looked at him with cold eyes that sent a chill down his spine.
"I. AM. HIM." Sean said shocking him. "And thanks to you. No one will ever suspect it." Sean said pulling out a voice recorder playing his last words from before.
"I don't understand." Halloran said before Sean walked over to a corner pulling something with a rag over it.
"12 years ago in this very barn." Sean said pulling off the rag showing two heavily decayed bodies. "A game was played here." Sean said looking at him. "I know this becuase I was one of the players after my first Mortal Kombat Tournament." Sean said.
Flash back 12 years ago
"You need to cut yourself!" Anna yelled to the fifth player who woke up to late before the others were pulled out. However just as his back hit the saw blades the the chains stopped and Jigsaw walked out and pulled the bucket and Chain off revealing a 14 year old Sean who was completely confused just as he healed.
End Flash back
"John decided I shouldn't be punished for an honest mistake that was beyond my control at the time. I brutalized Russo because the Rider Spirt controlled me because of my anger. He gave me a second chance. So now, 12 years later, I recreated Jigsaw's game with the scum from your failed cases." Sean said.
"What?" Halloran said.
"I wanted my game to have some meaning so I recreated his very original game. Being the leader of the Legion I have access to everything in the Universe. Including cases like yours. Players with similar backgrounds just like the first players. John put five people in his game. I put in three. You and I are the last two players. I wanted to see if I was just as talented as Kramer was before his death because of his cancer." Sean said reactivating the lasers around Halloran's neck.
"Oh shit!" Halloran yelled in shock. "Come on. Have Mercy." Halloran said making him snort.
"You mean like you did trying to get me killed. Saving yourself." Sean said smashing Anna's head out of hatred for the woman who murdered her baby.
"Come on thats not fair." Halloran said.
"FAIR!" Sean yelled startling him. "Why the fuck was Edger Munsen free? He was a murderer and you let him walk. Because he was your criminal informant, years ago. And you let him walk free. Edger Munsen killed Logan's wife and several of my friends from College and high school." Sean said in anger.
"You don't know that. It's never been proven." Halloran said.
"Actually I do since several witnesses came forward but you brushed them off to protect him." Sean said.
"Sean...This won't bring your friends back. Kramer gave people a chance to win the game. A choice." Halloran said before trying to slug him but was to far away. "You fucker." Halloran said.
"You have a choice...Scream or don't" Sean said walking away.
"Kruger. Look, I can help you. I can do things for you." Halloran said before Sean walked back to him and punched the wall hard enough to leave a dent. Even without super powers he was still physically strong enough for it.
"Can you bring my friends back?" Sean asked.
"Doesn't matter what I say does it?" Halloran asked making him shake his head.
"I created a game that appeared to be run by Jigsaw. Wanted to put the fear back into criminals again like before." Sean said
Flash back before the game started
"I got to choose who dies them or Me!" Edger yelled.
From a distance Sean pointed a pistol that matched Halloran's including the bullets.
"I'm not fucking dying!" Edger yelled pulling the trigger as did the cops before Sean fired and with perfect accuracy hit him in the chest in a non fatal spot making him smirk in satisfaction.
End flashback
"Some will think it's Jigsaw. Others will suspect you. But no one will ever even dare to suspect me for obvious reasons. And Abby will provide my alibi." Sean said before walking away.
"12 years ago I came out of the Mortal Kombat Tournament a broken man since I killed a friend without knowing it. It broke my will all over again. John was able to put the pieces of my life back together again and gave me a purpose." Sean said.
Flash back 12 years ago
Sean and John were working on something before Sean pushed the tools away and placed his hands on the table breathing hard before John placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"We can never come from Anger or from vengeance. Your father taught everyone that." John said.
"But then there will be no justice." Sean said.
"No. But there will be. We'll speak for the dead." John said holding a torch.
Minutes later both had constructed the original Reverse bear trap.
End Flash back
"Together we created a Legacy and he made me what I am today. Now I speak for the lives that you've taken away or ruined for being what you are. An uncaring bastard who's only interest is to himself. Murderers, Rapists! They're victims appeared on Logan's table...Because of you." Sean said as the lasers got closer making him whimper before screaming as his head was cut up before the collar let him go letting him fall to his knees before his head split up in eight different ways before falling down dead.
"I speak for the dead." Sean said before slamming the door close never to be opened again.
Later
After everything was cleared up and Halloran now a wanted Fugitive Sean stood in front of the tombstone of John Kramer before he placed a small metal toy solider on the grave same as the one John placed on His unborn Son Gideon's tombstone.
"Rest in peace old man." Sean said.
