Thefinal picture is then revealed to be the main protagonist Martin Hallwood sat at the desk in his high rise office when he discovers a mysterious letter in his desk. He opens the letter to find a picture of his sister kirtsy tied to a chair and gagged. The sight of this makes him start to breathe erratically so he takes some pills to calm him down. Also inside the letter is a piece of a map and some words telling him what time he has to be there bye. Seeing he has little time left he rushes out of his office to the surprise of his subordinates. He matches the piece of map from the letter with one on the office wall. He then enters the lift and exits the building. Outside martins Personal car is waiting for him. He enters the car and tells the driver to take him to the location marked on the map. The driver cannot be seen due to tinted glass and his voice is muffled also.

Middle. Part1

Martins car arrives at the location marked on the map. He cautiously leaves his vehicle and makes his way towards the building. Checking his watch he realises there isn’t much time left so runs towards the door. The building is an abandoned house in the middle of a council estate. He enters and sees a bare room full of dust. He turns on the light but it doesn’t come on. He makes his way to a door on the other side of the room. As he approaches the door he can hear a strange scratching sound coming from behind it. He picks up a plank of wood left on the floor. He reaches the door and the scratching sound grows louder. He finally builds up the courage to open the door whilst raising the wood ready for anything. The door swings open and a tide of rats swarms around his feet past him and disappears into the room behind. Martin finds himself in a long corridor. He can’t see through the haze of dust left behind and he has to trudge through a floor laced in rat droppings. He takes out a handkerchief and places it over his mouth. He gets to the end of the room and finds an old chair covered in a white cloth those trials across the floor. Martin rips away the cloth expecting to find Kristy beneath it. In stead he finds the body of a man nailed to the chair and devoured by the rats. The corpse wares a plain white mask and a pair of glasses. Martin starts having a panic attack at the sight of this and falls to his knees then whites out (faints)

After he faints martin has a flashback that depicts a series of white rooms that are hazed although they were within a storm. In this flashback martin becomes an uncontrollable character which he perceives in 1^st person.. A figure lies on the floor in front of him she has no features is completely white and has no face only dark eyes. By her hair and figure you can tell that the figure is female. The figure on the floor weeps into her hands then looks up her face streaming with black tears she cries “no more!” in an otherworldly voice. Martin’s character then looks at his own hand which is completely black and featureless and swings at the girl on the floor. Just before the blow makes contact the image flashes white and martin regains consciousness.

Martin continues to panic and breathe heavily until he takes another pill from the bottle in his pocket. His breathing returns to normal and he rises to his feet. He inspects the body and finds the glasses which he immediate recognises to belong to his old friend Lewis. Some words have been painted onto the lenses of the glasses and they read “Orion Hardware 6:00pm” martin turns to levee the abandoned house when he gets a phone call. The voice of a little girl is on the phone she says “ringer ringer roses. Get it?” martin shouts down the phone asking who it is and ware his sister is. The girl on the phone simply replies “your fired” then hangs up. As she hangs up the door behind the dead man starts to beep. Martin opens the door to find a stash of gas bottles and a timer counting down. Martin runs out of the house and stands outside as it sets on fire. Martin then returns to his car and orders the driver to take him to Orion hardware.

Middle part2

Martin’s car arrives at Orion’s hardware in the centre of town and looks at his watch the time is 5:42. Martin goes to the front entrance but the shop is closed. He walks around the back and sees a strange flickering light coming from the upstairs window. He climbs the fire escape and enters through the fire door that had been left partially open. The room he enters is full of computers and wires. He checks his watch again 5:50. He stumbles into a computer lying on the floor which attracts a faint cry for help from the next room. Martin enters the next room to find a man suspended from the sealing by his hands. Several wires come from machines all around the room and have been inserted into he mans body. The man is warring a mask and has a timer attached to his chest. The man mumbles “help me” martin walks over and is about to start pulling out the wires when the man shouts “no! It’ll go off” Martin takes the mask off of the mans face and immediately recognises him to be Marcus his old business partner. Martin takes a step back and checks his watch noticing that it is in synch with the timer attached to the Marcus’ chest. He only has 2 minuets left until the timer counts to 0. Martin asks the hanging man what he should do and Marcus replies “The blue wire” then passes out. Martin starts to search the man being careful not to disturb any wires but he can’t see any blue wires. He shouts in frustration and panics as he watched the countdown. 3.2.1. The man jerks into life as the wires pass electricity through his body. The computers around the room start to spark and buzz loudly and explode as. Martin notices something in his periphery. A thin length of blue wire hanging from the roof. Written on it are the words LIZZIE 7:30. Martin pulls the blue wire from the ceiling and as he takes it he hears a thud from above. Water suddenly starts pouring out of the ceiling and into the machines making them buzz and set aflame. Water slowly creeps towards martin’s feet crackling with electricity. Martin runs for the fire escape pushing computer parts out of his way. He clambers down the stairs of the fire escape but falls at the bottom. He rises with the phone ringing in his pocket. He answers it and the same voice from before answers “pop goes the weasel hahahah” the phone rings dead. He notices a lick of flame on his shoulder and throws his jacket to the ground. He runs back into his car and the driver speeds away.

Middle part3

Martin asks his driver if he knows what Lizzie means but the driver doesn’t know. He looks at his phone the time reads 6:20 he searches for the name Lizzie but nothing comes up. He then phones his office and asks for a list of employees under the name Lizzie. The report comes back with 1 person working in his office building called Lizzie Dupree. Looking at her file martin instantly recognises her as his old girlfriend under a new name. Knowing that long ago Lizzie had cheated on him and the relationship ended violently martin decides that she must be the killer. He orders his driver to take him to the address marked on Lizzie’s file. The clock reads 7:10 as the car screeches to a halt outside the apartment. Martin slams through the door and runs up the stairs tripping slightly in his rush. He reaches her apartment. He knocks on the front door hard and as he does so he knocks it open. He can here a muffled voice coming from the other room. He picks up a lamp to use as a weapon then cautiously enters the bedroom. As he stands in the doorway he can see 2 people tied to the bed with there hands bent behind there backs. There both gagged and have a mask placed upon there groin. One is female and martin instantly recognises her as Lizzie and the other is Phil one of martins closest friends. In shock at what he sees he drops the lamp onto the floor. As the lamp hits the floor it breaks a string that was stretched across the room. A beeping noise comes from below the bed and the 2 gagged people try to scream. The beeping stops and a metal spike fires from beneath the bed and impale Phil from below. The room is covered in trip wires all crossing over and intertwined across the room. Martin shouts to the girl “don’t worry il get u out of here” he checks his watch it reads 7:25. He starts to manoeuvre himself between the trip wires towards the girl. He manages to get most of the way across the room and is almost within reach of the girl when his phone rings in his pocket making martin jump. He knocks one of the strings and the beeping begins. Martin throws his phone to the floor and runs over to the side of the bed to untie the girl’s hands but before he could undo the rope the beeping stops and Lizzie is impaled from below. Martin starts to cry and collapses on the bed next to Lizzie’s body. He has another flashback this one shows a black door within the white world martins character approaches the door and it swings open to find the bedroom and a woman writhing on top of a man. The woman stops as she notices martins character. Martin’s character then launches himself towards the couple but he wakes up before he reaches them. As he wakes he sees a sheet of paper between the 2 bodies.  He flips the paper over, it reads “YOUR WELCOME”. Martin leaves the apartment taking the piece of paper with him and runs for his car. He repeatedly scans the piece of paper for clues but he can find nothing other than those words “YOUR WELCOME” Confused that the murderer left him no clue martin sits back and thinks. Then he realises that usually by now his driver would have asked him ware he wanted to be taken next but the driver hasn’t said a word. Martin calls out to the driver but there is no reply, martin knocks on the tinted window but still none answers. “What the hells going on?!” the doors of his own car lock around him. The screen that is set into the roof of the car switches on. It shows a masked character on a black background. The character speaks with a distorted voice “its time for the final Challenge Martin are you up to it?” the screen goes blank and the car drives away.

End.

Martin bashes at the locks and tries to smash the darkened windows but he knows that his car can’t be broken in to or out off. He takes a handful off his pills and calms down. The car comes to a halt in an unknown location. The door opens into a dark room. Martin exits the car cautiously. The room is dark and has bare concrete walls with pillars standing around it. Martin stumbles forward in the darkness then a bright spotlight shines down in front of him. The circle of light illuminates his driver chained to a chained and bolted to the floor with iron shackles. A television set is on the floor above his head. It comes on and shows the same masked figure as before. The character speaks. “One final challenge, before you is a choice. Kill him or I kill her? The character turns the camera to show Martins sister beaten and tied to a chair. “if you look on top of this screen you will find a knife. Use it. When your done I’ll show you Ware your precious sister is” Martin picks up the surgical knife nervously.  He leans over his unconscious driver and puts the knife to his neck. He is just about to cut it when he losses his nerve and pulls away. He begins to panic and takes another handful of pills. “Ok here we go” he says to assure himself. He leans down again and is about to cut the helpless driver when the television crackles on again. “What’s wrong Martin? The voice wasn’t distorted anymore. Now it was distinctly female. “To hard? I put a little something in his pocket to help you” the Character laughs and the screen goes blank. Martin looks in the pocket of his drivers jacket and pulls out a bottle of Whisky. He has a flash back of him drinking multiple times and pouring drinks out then the sound of glass smashing. He stares down at his driver then drinks the entire bottle. Martin takes some deep breaths then cuts the mans throat
