Title: The Game Is A Foot...
Pairing: Adam/Lawrence
Rating: Up to R for later chapters
Summary: What happens when the key doesn't go down the drain? Will Adam, not only save himself, but try and save the man that has to kill him?
Author’s Notes: This is an AU that I have written about what would happen if Amanda had actually played by the rules and done what John had asked her to do with the key. Multi-chapter...
It takes you three attempts to hook the recorder with the plug hole and pull it towards you. When you get it, your hands shake as you push the tape into the recorder. You press play and the cackle, a sinister voice plays from the device.
'Rise and shine, Adam. You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room that you die in. Up until now you've simply sat in the shadows, watching others live out their lives. But what do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror? Now, I see you as a strange mix of someone angry, yet apathetic, but mostly just pathetic. So are you going to watch yourself die today, Adam, or do something about it?' Your body goes numb when you hear this, you're confused as to what this means. You voice your confusion. Lawrence looks at you, he asks you to throw him the recorder, you tell him to throw you the tape, you dispute about it, telling him how stupid it would be for him to break the recorder if you throw it to him. He throws you his tape and you play it, sliding down against the wall, your hand playing with the key as you listen to his tape.
'Dr. Gordon, this is your wake up call. Every day of your working life you have given people the news that they're going to die soon. Now you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam. You have until 6 on the clock to do it. There's a man in the room with you. When there's that much poison in your blood, the only thing left to do is shoot yourself. There are ways to win this, hidden all around you. Just remember: "X" marks the spot for the treasure. If you do not kill Adam by 6, then Allison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon, and I'll leave you in this room to rot. Let the game begin.'
At that moment, you panic; you look across at the man you have been watching, now the man that is going to attempt to kill you. You look between him, the dead body and the door; you prise the key in your hand tightly, watching Lawrence's every move. You need to get away from him.
You don't want to die.
