(Game POV)
Before they could fully catch their breaths, they were once again hit by lights that woke the entire room, Cindy wasn't in the mood for it though as she closed her eyes just trying to get herself back in order. She couldn't get that image out of her mind, and she had done plenty of things herself that would cause people to shiver.
She didn't do anything that creepy though, she usually didn't have to hear the screams that went along with the death.
"What the hell?" Jasper gasped out as he looked around the room.
Cindy didn't want to look but she opened her eyes, the moment she did she closed them the next second as she saw exactly what room they were in. The room was red, a good description would be like the red room from Fifty Shades of Grey, but she knew that it was more than that.
It was a complete replica of the room that she used when she was having her fun and games, it shook her to her core as she thought about what was going to happen here. She released a breath as she heard the now familiar static of a TV before that creepy voice spoke out.
"Cindy, as you have no doubt figured out, this room is a replica of the one you use when you like to pick up men from clubs, what those men don't expect is to never be seen again," On the screen it flashed a mass grave site where she had been burning bodies,
"As you can see, I found it quite easily, despite how hard you tried to hide it. You task is simple; can you trust the others to give you some 'fun' or will you fall under the pressure. All you need to do is take ten hits from a bamboo whipping stick.
Let the game begin."
Cindy blinked as she saw in the middle of a room a rack, next to it was the poles which were used to hold the people in place that she 'played' with, wrist and legs restraints also there. "Go on." Jasper wheezed out as blood was flowing down his chest, he had not been able to make it stop and was slowly losing consciousness.
Cindy growled but she stood slowly and walked over to the rack while throwing a glare at Jasper who was slowly stumbling as he followed her, she knew he couldn't wait for this. Going to the poles she was able to put her left wrist on there before looking back at him, "Well come on then, I need help if we are going to do this."
Jasper blinked for a moment before he strapped the rest of her in, looking at the rack he saw three different whips, but he chose the meanest looking one on it. It was about three feet long made of bamboo, it also had razors attached to it, he grinned as he picked it up.
Going behind her he smirked as he pulled back and a crack was released as he hit her on the back, she let out a blood curled scream as her shirt tore and blood flowed out. Jasper had a wide grin as he pulled back to release another hit, he didn't even realize that his chest had ripped some more with blood flowing.

(Love and Joe POV)
"They won't survive this." Joe said while shaking his head as he saw Jasper hit Cindy again for the third time.
"Why do you say that?" Love asked bringing them drinks and sitting down next to him.
Taking his he took a drink before he answered her, "Because Jasper isn't paying attention to his injures, he is bleeding too fast and is instead enjoying the pain he inflicts on her. As for Cindy she will bleed out thanks to that."
Love looked back at the screen and nodded seeing what he saw.
++++++
(Game POV)
Jasper chuckled as he counted the last two, Cindy had stopped screaming as her head hung down loosely, he knew that she was in serious pain as he saw the marks on her back. His vision was blurry as he looked at her though, looking down he just noticed his injuries.
He sighed as another door opened, he stepped towards it, but he didn't even get to take a second as he fell face first on to the floor, his body twitched but he didn't move again.

(Love and Joe POV)
They watched as the screen went black, Love shook her head as she saw the ending, she was actually hoping that maybe something would change but it appears Joe was right. She looked over to Joe who was also watching the screen, "What is it?" She asked seeing a look in his eye.
He smiled at her shaking his head, "Nothing, just thought that it was tragic. Not that it mattered if they survived though, they were all outed as killers, they couldn't go back to a normal life after this anyway. Unless the police count this as redemption for them."
She nodded, "Maybe. So, are you staying the night?"
He smiled but shook his head as he leaned over and kissed her, "No, that is too soon. We just established everything between us, let's figure the rest out first."
She pouted, which was extremely cut on her, but he didn't relent, finally sighing she rolled her eyes at him, "Fine, you should probably head out then since it is getting late. I will see you tomorrow at work though."
Joe clutched his heart as he stood up, "Wow, I see cut me loose just because I won't stay the night, that is sad."
She laughed as she took a hold of his shirt pushing him backwards as she did so, "Whatever, you know I want you here. You are right though, let's take this slowly for now."
Nodding her grabbed her into a deep kiss making them both breathless before she backed up lightly with a dazed look, kissing her cheek again he smiled as he walked out the door. Going to his jeep he hoped inside of it and took off.

Joe walked through the last room ignoring the set-ups he had, instead he went into the red room, walking inside he went over to Jasper and felt there was no pulse on him. He watched him for a moment before he walked over to Cindy who had her head down.
"Are you going to keep pretending to be passed out?" He asked lightly as he watched her.
Cindy's eyes opened as she looked him right in the eye, her intense blue eyes looking into his brown ones, "So, are you the clown?" she asked not bothered by the state she was currently in.
He smirked, "Of course I am. I knew there would be one, I just wasn't expecting there to be one so soon though."
"One what?" She asked breathless as she tried her hardest to keep her head held high looking at him.
"Survivor.....and future apprentice." Joe smirked as he thought about how John Kramer had Amanda and Mark, though he didn't teach them correctly which sent them into doing their own things.
He wouldn't make the same mistake though, he planned to teach them right when it came to making someone who could be his second, there might be a day he was discovered after all.
"Apprentice?" Cindy asked her eyes going wide.
"Yes, but only under one condition though." Joe said coming back to himself.
Cindy herself paused and didn't answer him, she watched him closely, Joe could see the look in her eyes, it was the same look he was giving her, one that was evaluating her. She looked him over gulping.
"What is the condition?" She asked.
"You live for me and me alone, no one else." He said seriously.
There was no hesitation as she nodded, "Yes."
Joe had a wide smile stretch across his face, but it was because there was a notification from his system about the completion of this mission.
[Mission #3.1 Completed!

[Bonus Reward for Mission #3.1

'System what is the Loyalty ring?' Joe asked he didn't move to help Cindy just yet as she had accepted a little too quickly for his liking.
[Item: Loyalty Ring

This ring automatically causes someone to see Joe Goldberg as their god automatically making them 100% loyal to anything he says.
Class: SSS]
'Give it to me.' Joe said in his head and felt something fill his pocket.
He reached into it and saw that the ring was midnight black, he was sure it would be lost if someone dropped it onto something dark, but there was a pattern also engraved. The pattern was of the letter 'J' all around it.
Joe took the ring and walked over to Cindy, he reached up and slipped it onto her ring finger, "What is this?" She asked frowning slightly.
"A ring to show you belong to me." Joe said with a smile.
Something flashed in Cindy's eyes before a serene smile graced her dry cracked lips, she looked at him as if someone had just named him a god, it was a little frightening, "I love it!" She moaned in pleasure.
