There will be blood.

Lawrence was decked out entirely in his scrubs. He didn't want to admit it, but he was thrilled to have them back on, and be doing something proactive even if that "something" was stitching a key under a man's eye.

"That's actually disgusting." Adam stated as he entered the room.

"You've seen worse." Lawrence replied, as he finished up the stitch. "Whilst you're here, help me put this thing on him won't ya."

Adam stepped up and approached the body from the other side, assisting with the placement of his trap.


"Out of all the men to cheat, you pick John Kramer?"

Hoffman had finished setting up the trap on Henry Kessler, who had awoken in a blue-tinted bathroom. Behind him were two rotting corpses and before him was the old man he had lied to.

"I mean, I call that epic bad luck." Hoffman chuckled before John stepped forward and lifted Henry's shirt, where they saw no scar or mark at all. John looked hurt, but silently left the room as Hoffman activated the trap.

As Henry screamed, the two men left the bathroom.

John slammed the door shut with a "GAME OVER."

Hoffman and John walked down the hall, before Hoffman stopped.

"Did... Did Adam's body look off to you?"

Kramer stopped and turned to face him.

"What do you mean, detective?"

"I know it's been weeks, and he died but... I don't know, it looks like he's been moved."

"Amanda came down here a few weeks back. Strangled Adam to death and leant him against the wall. I believe she unshackled him to remove his body entirely but decided against it and reshackled his foot."

Hoffman tsked at the mention of Amanda. "Her. You need to test her again, she's clearly learnt nothing."

"Don't say that detective, just be lucky I haven't tested you yet."

And with that, Kramer walked past Hoffman, leaving him alone in the dark tunnels.


"Amanda, I need your help with my next big game. The test subjects will be those wrongfully imprisoned by Eric Matthews." He put a ventilator to his mouth before breathing in carefully and looking back at Amanda. "You should remember Detective Matthews fondly."

Amanda tensed up, her eyes widening and her shoulders slightly shaking.

"He's the one who got me arrested on false charges."

"I know, Amanda. I know."

He took another deep breath before grabbing Amanda's hand.

"I want you to go through this test as well. It's not because I don't trust you, or because I want you to get hurt, I just need somebody to help them from the inside and you are the only logical person to do it."

Amanda lowered her head and began to shiver.

"If you can't do it Amanda, it's alright, but I need somebody to watch this kid." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo of a young teen boy, clearly emo.

"Who is he?" Amanda asked, becoming slightly panicked that John was asking this of her.

"You'll find out in due time. I can't have anything happen to him though, and I need you to help him in the trap. You know I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't have to."
