SHATTER

BREAK A SELECTED SYRINGE AND PASS YOUR TURN

Jared shatters the syringe and passes his turn.

Jared: It's too quiet.

Daniel: How so?

Daniel plays a SHIELD before playing a DOUBLE and a PASS.

He injects Jared three times knocking him down to 5 hearts. Jared gets the strangling feeling and the migraine once more. It's getting harder for him to keep his eyes open.

Jared: It's our final round and our lives are on the line. I feel like we should be more reactive.

Jared takes every ANTIDOTE and goes back to full health. He uses REVEAL and sees that a syringe is a safe. He uses TRIPLE to inject Daniel with a safe first, neutralising his SHIELD and then the rest of the two syringes which were poison as the two safes had already been found.

Daniel: Alright then, what's your story?

As there are no more syringes left, Eight syringes are dispensed. 5 poison, 3 safes. Jared and Daniel still keep their cards.

Jared: You first.

Daniel plays two REVEALS and a PASS. He shatters two syringes that weren't the ones he checked.

Daniel: I have three siblings, all younger than me. Two sisters and one brother. We have no parents. I was desperate for money as my job wasn't providing enough for me to buy food and the prices have been rising yet wages remained the same, so I followed a shady poster and now I'm here. You?

RANDOMISE

THE SYRINGES ARE RANDOMLY ARRANGED AGAIN

Jared: Civil Servant. I have an office job and it's mind numbing. Took a plane for a holiday, blacked out and then found myself here.

Jared used a BLIND and a blindfold was dispensed from the ceiling. Daniel put it on as Jared played a PASS and DOUBLE selecting the two that Alex revealed. Daniel was knocked down to three hearts. He then used a RANDOMISE and ended it by playing SHATTER breaking one of the syringes. It was a safe.

Daniel: I can't afford to lose here. There's no one else who can take care of them.

Daniel plays a DOUBLE and injects one into him with it being a safe and then injects another into Jared, making Jared lose a heart. Jared feels his vision go blurry. He knew the last syringe was a poison if his estimates were right.

ENERGISED

SUPPRESS THE EFFECTS OF THE SAMPLE

On Jared's turn, he uses an ANTIDOTE and a ENERGISED before playing a ENHANCE. He plays a SHIELD and a PASS before finally injecting the last syringe into Daniel. Daniel was now on one heart. Daniel was tough, Jared will give him that for enduring all that poison and still sitting unfazed.

Two syringes were dispensed. Two poison, one safe. It was still Jared's turn as he used a PASS.

Daniel: Please.....

Jared: Don't beg. Die with pride.

Jared revealed a syringe, it's poison. He picked up and stared into Daniel's eyes.

Jared: What's the name of your siblings?

Daniel: Amelie Soru, Jax Soru and Eliza Soru...

Jared: Close your eyes and be at peace. If I get out of this place I'll find them and provide some closure about your death.

Daniel: Tell them I died in an accident. I can't have them seeking revenge. I know Jax will ask a lot of questions and Eliza will probably try to hide her tears....

Jared: I'll see you on the other side.

Daniel: Hopefully not.

Jared injected the syringe and just like that, the round was over.

Speaker: Violence wins. Enter through the blue door with the ace of hearts symbol on your right.

A spotlight suddenly shined on a blue door to Jared's right. It was the same blue door as the one Jared walked through to get into the lab. Jared sat up and opened the door. Jared thought about how Daniel technically gave him a side quest before clearing his head as those thoughts were quite dark.

Before he could walk any further, a familiar purple smoke smothered him.

Jared: Ah shit, here we go again.
