2022-04-27 20:17:31Acer went through her tally sheets for game three; a total of twenty-three players made it to game four; eleven were dead, while two were yet to play. The two were Texas and Louisiana.
The two women were delaying her sleep. She wanted a long rest. Staring at various screens all day was tiring and draining. What made the day-long was the fact that the game had taken more hours than the previous two. She could only hope the fourth game was not as personal as the third one.
She stared at the two women who did not seem to be taking any steps to proceed to the following games. What she did not want was for another player to have games in hand. She swore she was going to go against her bosses and get rid of the two bi**tches.

Day 4 came and Acer woke up early intending to catch up with whether the two ladies had caught up with the rest of the players. To her disappointment, only Louisiana had played and proceeded to the next level, while Taxes showed no sign of playing and was busy making an early breakfast for herself and her daughter.She grinded her teeth in frustration. Being behind on one game was not a big deal, but two was not to be tolerated. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed the organizer's line, with the intention of making them understand why Texas was to be dealt with immediately.She was sure there was a way they would put a time limit on the games, forcing everyone to play or else get eliminated.

Acer began counting backward while breathing in and out. It was a calming technique she had developed since she was a child. She was so enraged that she let Texas get on her nerves, something that only a few people managed to do. She grabbed her other phone and dialed her boss's line. "We need to kill that bi**tch, I swear she is up to something!" "Calm down, Acer. Prepare yourself for the fourth game. Texas will soon be out of the game," he stated and hung up on her. Acer couldn't believe the disrespect, her boss denied giving her the time she needed to explain her theory. She was

The pledgers were all in cheers, clapping for Washington's success and quick execution. They applauded his tactic of choosing bad people as his targets, and they were all impressed with the approach he used to smuggle the candy out of the shop. He seemed to be a pro at shoplifting. Some began to believe he was going to make it until the last game with such skills. On top of that, the contestants were not as slow as they were in Game Three, which was a recipe for a fast and good show.For unknown reasons that she could not explain, Acer smiled when Washington proceeded to the fifth game. She never pledged or gambled on any players. But it was safe to say Washington was her favorite, while Texas was her least favorite. Texas had picked up the call and listened to game four instructions but chose not to show any signs of playing. Acer's skin crawled as she watched her.

The pledgers on team Pennsylvania got up, irritated, and demanded for the organizers. They felt their player was being sabotaged by the organizers. They demanded an audience for their concerns to be addressed. One of the pledgers attempted to defuse the situation. But it only accelerated their tempers. There was a lot of money at stake and all they were asking for was a fair game. Their viewing arena consisted of a large screen TV attached from one end of the wall to the other. There was a bar with various wines and alcoholic beverages from all over the world, with a large table. While the rest of the room had a personal private lounge with portable entertainment screens for each pledger with his own controls to choose which player they wanted to watch. The room smelled of cigars, sweat, and raised testosterone as tempers were high with every person shouting at the next person. Filthy rich men who enjoyed watching violence and pain and did not mind throwing millions into the mix.

The organizers quickly called Acer to clarify to the players that they were yet to play the fourth game. It appeared the players were misinterpreting the task.She quickly dialed their lines, surprising them. She never called in the middle of the games; her phone was always off. Something was up, so they listened attentively."I am going to read through Game Four for the second time. Please pay attention," she emphasized. "Walk into the biggest shopping mall and shoplift from a customer. If you get caught, you die, but if the player gets away with it, the customer dies accidentally."There was silence, with the players waiting for any additions."Do you have any questions?" She asked, surprising them further. They were all quiet, confused."Listen, Some idiots confused armed robbery with shoplifting. That's why I'm asking if there are any more illiterates about to make the same mistake!" she blurted out and waited for a response."I have a question, but it is different," Louisiana spo

Another player was out. Tension was building with most pledgers losing all their players. What was exciting was the fact that the slower players in the first games, those that had struggled with the reality of the games, were the ones shining, while those that shone in the first games were getting eliminated.It was a gamblers' game, and no one knew who was going to survive until the last game. More players began to proceed to the fifth game. New Jersey made it by shoplifting a pencil case from a schoolgirl and stuffing it in the bin. He had to wait for the cleaners to dispose of the bin outside in the dumpster for about four hours and then spent about an hour searching through the bin until he found the pencil case. He had to scream and celebrate on top of the dumpster as a congratulatory message popped up. The icing on his cake was the fact that he did not get to witness how the girl died or if she even died. His plan was executed to perfection, and the pledgers could not help but

Before nightfall came, another elimination was registered from Missouri. The player had walked into a convenience store and tried to shoplift from a lady, but the sales assistant caught him in the act. His downfall proved why the organizers chose a large mall for the players. It was chosen not to disadvantage the players, but to provide them with an advantage from other prying eyes and space to hide from the cameras. As was the case for South Carolina, whose shoplifting was picked up by the cameras in the store. She also chose a small convenience store. She shoplifted from an elderly woman and was almost at the door when the store manager ran out to stop her from escaping. The two players were instantly eliminated, making a total of five dead in game four. With all the players done with the task and an exemption of Texas, Game Four proved to be filled with a lot of exciting memories for the pledgers. They were all excited in anticipation of what they were going to see in Game Five.

After hours of trying to get her boss on the phone without success, Acer gave up. It was almost noon, and she needed to prepare for the fifth game. She spent entire hours of the morning watching and studying Texas, looking for anything she could use to force her bosses to activate the chip on her neck. However, there was nothing she could find. The woman was good at painting the picture that she wanted everyone to see. There was nothing out of the ordinary. She spent the morning teaching her daughter like she always did. The ugly duckling was home-schooled. After that, they played hide and seek, and later on, went back to bed to watch her daughter's favorite cartoon on her laptop. It was just like any other normal day, except for going outside. There was a big possibility she was being paranoid and there was nothing wrong with a southerner having a trapdoor in her bedroom, but her instincts were telling her something was wrong with the picture. First of all, the woman was not a lo

Texas walked outside and found her boss pissed, waiting for her outside the helicopter."Sparing their lives was never an option," she said as she walked past him."Are you insane? They were the only people that would lead to the filthy man in charge of those stupid games!" He yelled at her."No one in that room knows who the idiot is," she spat out, annoyed, and entered the helicopter. Sebastian closed his eyes in irritation and followed suit. The helicopter was in the air in seconds, heading back to Washington. A message popped up on Sebastian's phone, forcing him to frown."What? Who was that?" Texas asked."Since you have forgotten how to play as a team member, it is none of your business," he replied, putting his phone away."The stupid leader was probably watching. With all the investors gone, he will need to recruit new ones," she explained.Sebastian glanced at her with interest.She explained "He is probably going to recruit every person that will take over from each of thos

Two hours elapsed with the organizers playing hide and seek with their computer mice. Their lives depended on finding their boss, but they couldn't find him. They kept asking for more time just to stall the wrath that was going to descend on them. Their eyes darted around crazily, looking for a way out, which was impossible given that the entire building was under lockdown. Tired of waiting, one of the pledgers walked to where they were seated and shot one of them straight in the head, splashing some blood and brains all over the other organizers before dropping to the ground. The entire arena let out a terrifying wail. "Maybe this will motivate the others to work faster!" he yelled. The organizers froze in terror for split seconds. Their entire bodies became impossibly still, with their hands twitching spastically, making it impossible for them to type on their computers. Their colleague lay a few centimeters from their legs, brains, and blood everywhere. What started as a pe

Hanging from a rope with her hands bonded together and her legs barely touching the ground, Acer finally opened her eyes. She could feel painful cuts on her face that felt like her flesh was bare.She looked around, trying to make sense of where she was. She vividly remembered being at Washington's house and having a needle stuck in her. She began panicking, "Hello, is... anyone... in here?" She spoke in a suffocated whisper. Her voice was trembling.She looked down, and that's when she noticed the blood all over her and the pieces that appeared to be skin. She knew it was hers but could not tell which part of her body it was from. A sickening wave of terror welled up from her belly as a voice from behind her finally spoke."Sleeping ugly has finally woken up," Texas said and began pushing on a high mirror. "You are going to love what I have done with your face," she said as she brought the mirror in front of her hostage.Acer stared at the mirror and let out a loud scream, forcing T

At Washington's house, Acer, still strapped in the chair, began panicking. She was sure it had been hours, yet Washington was not dropping to the ground and neither was anyone coming to save her or making a call on her phone.It appeared they were just watching and enjoying the show at her expense. There was no doubt her boss had abandoned her. She needed to start using her head fast if she was going to leave the house alive."Listen to me, Washington. I can help you get your wife's organs.""Shut up, do not think I am that stupid!" He yelled back at her."What's your fuckin' plan here exactly?" "None of your business," he replied, leaning on the wall. He had no idea what he was doing, but he knew he had a death wish. He looked at his watch. It was exactly two hours since he told Louisiana about his hostage situation. He got his phone out of his pocket and turned it back on. A lot of messages from Louisiana popped up, but none from Texas. Louisiana acknowledged passing off the messa

"Before you say a single word, please be sure what comes out of your mouth is correct because you have only five minutes to convince me why you made the call," Sebastian warned."I want back on the team, and I have a mission in mind," she replied.The man chuckled, his eyes fixed on the little girl.Texas signaled for a waitress and ordered the little girl's favorite ice cream. She then got out headphones and placed them on the girl's ears as the ice cream was brought to her."Is it not too cold for ice cream?" Sebastian asked."For the past three days, I had locked her underground in a safe room. I promised her ice cream once we went out, " she explained and told him about the organ-organized games and how she found herself in it.He stared at her with raised eyebrows. He was a man of few words and was good at hiding his emotions and reactions. She could not tell whether he believed her or not."I want to take them down, and you have the resources to help me," she added.He chuckled,

The pledgers watched, and as much as they wanted to feel sorry for the players, they couldn't. Killing or getting killed by Texas was the only solution to their misery. They already knew what they signed up for the second they were threatened with playing the game. They needed to finish up what they started or commit suicide. Those were the only two ways out of the contract. The pledgers were tired of waiting for some action. Acer was still in the air, the players were showing no signs of playing and Texas had disappeared into her safe room for hours while five corpses were rotting in her yard.It appeared the boss was not going through with the plans of calling the authorities on her, and it appeared they were not going to pick up the bodies either.They were left staring at a lot of empty screens with no action or any sign of action. A total of five hours had elapsed with nothing and total quiescence.Unknown to them, in Texas, in a small pub, Texas pushed a little trap door. She

The boss breathed in and out, staring at the screen and bursting into laughter like a mad man. Hiding one dysfunctional chip was one thing, but all the players having a dysfunctional chip was the end of his game.To make matters worse, the man who was equipped to fix the chips was still in the hospital. There was nothing he could do but laugh at himself. He kept laughing and pressing the buttons until his eyes were watery red and he was out of breath.She outsmarted him. He was nothing but a joke, both to his family and his employees. After fifty years of his family running successful games, he was the first one that broke the chain and failed, and his downfall was a tiny mysterious woman who appeared to have popped out of nowhere.He grabbed his vodka and began drinking it straight from the bottle as he loosened his tie. "Berth Rosewood, I think we should meet in person," he said, as he took a sip.He focused his attention on the screen. The players finished up with their goodbyes li

"How... how did she know my name?" Washington whispered.The other players looked at each other, blank. They remembered telling her their names in the safe room but not Washington's. They had no idea what his name was prior to Texas saying it out. They were also sure Washington had not been down there."I didn't tell anyone what my name was. Then where did she get my name?"Alabama pointed out, "You should be more interested about how she stitched your torn artery than how she got to know your name."Washington could only stare at him without altering a single word.The organizers were also confused as to how she knew his name. If he had not told anyone, then they were in trouble.Her phone rang as she walked into her bedroom, searching for her car keys. She looked at the number and recognized it immediately. It was their leader."Hello, love," she replied."Stop with the stupid games," the man said from the other side of the line. He was calling to pump some sense into her. "I think

Acer kept calling her boss, who to her disappointment was not picking up. She gave up, frustrated. He was clearly blaming her for the blunder when no one had the right to do so.They were all convinced that the players' failure to kill the insane woman was due to competition. Granting them a deal together had a high chance of success, but the players were simply too stupid to use their heads.To top it off, the players had cornered her with the time debate. It was not her fault that they requested a contract that stipulated they had to carry out a task within 24 hrs. No one had supported her when she was backed into a corner, not the organizers and certainly not her ungrateful boss.She got up and poured herself a glass of scotch, pissed at all of them for trying to flip the disaster on her.At the house, Louisiana had already begun cleaning up the kitchen. First, she dragged Washington to the spare bedroom and placed more bandages on his wound before returning to the kitchen. He was
