Connected {Saw II}

the oven trap

Xavier was trying to break the door apart. He managed to get some of the wood off, but it was to no avail as there was metal on the other side. "Fuck!" He screamed in frustration.

Addison rolled her eyes. "Well, we've established that the macho bullshit approach isn't opening the door. Any other suggestions?"

Xavier talked back to her. "Look who's talking. The only door you know how to open is between your legs"

"Why don't you shut the hell up?!"

"Why don't you shut the hell up?!"

"I'm sick of your bullshit!"

Vivian couldn't take this back and forth any more. Addison looked about ready to pounce on Xavier. Vivian stepped in between them, facing Addison with a hand on her shoulder. "That's enough!"

Addison glared at Vivian, shoving her hand off her. "He started it!" She pointed at Xavier.

"Well I'm ending it!" If glares could kill, Addison would have dropped dead to the ground. She got the message to back away so that's what she did. Xavier scoffed from behind Vivian. She turned to face him. "And what the fuck is your problem?"

"You don't scare me, bitch" Xavier said with a smug grin. "I remember you. Don't think just because you went changing your hair that I wouldn't recognize you. Did you know Warren is looking for you? When I get out of here, I'll tell him that I saw you, then you'll be sorry"

Vivian growled. "Oh yeah? Let him try! If he finds me, he'll regret it"

Xavier glared at her. "You better watch your back, you bitch" Vivian thought nothing of the threat. She just took it as Xavier trying to be tough and scare her a bit. But Amanda heard it, and she was not happy about it.

Jonas stepped in between Vivian and Xavier. "Hey, hey, hey! Back the fuck up! Back up! Okay, man. All right. Nobody takes shit from nobody, we've established that"

Amanda found a light switch and turned on the lights. She walked further into the room, making sure to grab Vivian's hand as she walked by her. Laura followed behind them. "Did you find anything?" Daniel asked as they approached.

"Nothing" Laura answered.

Jonas took notice of the tattoo that was on Xavier's arm. "So, that ink on your arm... that's Joliet, right?"

"Yeah" Xavier said. "So?"

"I did a stretch there myself"

"Proud of you"

Jonas addressed Addison. "And you, what is your correctional facility of choice?"

Addison stared. "What's your point?"

"My point is, you didn't get that way by teaching grade school, right? That makes three of us that's done time. I think we should be concentrating on that tape, 'cause that tape said we have more in common than we know. I say, the three of us doing stretches..."

No one had been paying attention to the fact that Laura had been searching along the stairwell. She pressed down on a wooden panel which revealed a doorway. "Hey! I found a door over here!" Laura announced.

Xavier peeked into the doorway, only to see nothing but stairs leading into darkness. "I need the flashlight" He took the flashlight out of Addison's hands. He walked down the stairs first, grasping the baseball bat in one hand, and the flashlight in the other. The others followed after him.

Jonas noticed something. "Over there" There was something in a robe laying over the desk. Xavier and Jonas approached it.

"What the fuck?" Xavier whispered. He stood ready with the spiked bat. Jonas pulled the robe away. It was nothing more than a mannequin. An envelope with OBI written on it was pinned to the doll's chest with a knife.
