TOO TOONEY

CHAPTER 14 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Long Tunnel. Under The Emperor's Palace. Empire City. Friday, August 27th, 3127. 12:05AM.

In the meantime, back at Empire City, Abe who was still trying to find a way out after having barely survived his test by Jigsaw, was now walking slowly down a long and dimly-lit tunnel that seemed to keep going on and on. Abe had already been walking down the tunnel for over 35 minutes, only having stopped once to take a short break before continuing on his search to find a way out. To be honest, Abe was starting to get very frustrated with walking down this tunnel that seemed to never end.

Abe had found a first-aid kit a short while ago which Jigsaw had intentionally left for him. Inside it was a pair of tweezers, disinfectants and antiseptics and gauze, which he immediately used to remove any remaining needles and pieces of glasses that were still stuck in his still-bleeding and badly-injured feet before he carefully cleaned his injured feet of any possible germs or bacteria before he bandaged up his feet with the gauze to prevent him from losing anymore blood and so his feet injuries didn't become infected.

Abe knew why Jigsaw had left that first-aid kit with the tweezers, disinfectant, antiseptics and gauze for him. He knew that while Jigsaw was still very dangerous, it was a well-known fact from the Saw movies and franchise that Jigsaw always was fair to his victims and gave them all a chance to survive his tests. Jigsaw was one of a few horror villians that actually showed any of his victims any mercy as Jigsaw only intended to reform all his victims instead of brutally slaughtering them all like any other psycho, monster or madman would! If his victims managed to pass and survive his tests, they were free to go and live to see another day! And those who didn't pass his tests, we're all doomed to suffer and die brutal deaths! This was the way Jigsaw worked and as such, Jigsaw had deliberately left that first-aid kit back there as he and Abe both knew that without it and the tools inside, Abe would've still died after awhile from blood loss or at the very least, his feet would've been badly infected, which would mean that there would've been a chance he would've had to have gotten them amputated and Abe didn't want that!

Abe was grateful for this, despite the fact that he still could've died back there like Rob did, but right now, all Abe cared about was just trying to find out where he was going and how he was going to escape. After 10 more minutes, a faint smile flashed on Abe's face as he finally saw the end of the tunnel up ahead with a tall, red ladder that led up into complete darkness.

At this point, Abe didn't care where the ladder led him to as long as it took him back up to the surface and out into fresh air! Abe wasn't claustrophobic, but being alone in this underground tunnel with little to no light was starting to give him the creeps.

Abe began to slowly climb up the long, red ladder as he disappeared into the pitch-black darkness above. Unlike the long tunnel, however, Abe only had to climb for about 5 minutes before he was greeted to bright light.

Abe got off the top of the ladder and forced himself up onto hard, metal floor. Taking a minute to stop and catch his breath, Abe took in his new surroundings and realized he was in a big room that was mostly made out of metal with a couple big machines on both sides of him that were so very advanced, but he didn't know what they were exactly or what they did.

Abe then heard voices behind him shouting out for help and after turning around, he gasped in shock to see 3 more Russian people strapped down to metal chairs with many chains attached to their arms and legs! Not only were they also wearing old-fashioned prison clothing like Abe (and Rob, who was dead now), but they were also wearing metal helmets with red and green wires attached to them, too!
