The Jigsaw case was tearing him apart, and the impending doom that Jigsaw, who he believed was Hoffman would finish the job and kill Peter off. He already tried; getting him in this trap with a box around his head, full of water. But Peter stabbed himself in the neck with his pen, opening a breathing way for himself. He lived when he wasn’t supposed too, and now he was worried he’d be finished off.

Perez had been his case partner, and maybe he had feelings for her, he couldn’t decide if they were romantic or platonic, but she was also dead now. It seemed everyone who was on the case; wether it was from day one or yesterday, was dead. Expect for him and Hoffman. He hated Hoffman.

He was also taken off the case by Erickson. But he couldn’t stop, he was this close. He needed somewhere to hide out; where Hoffman wouldn’t find him, and he could keep researching the case with files he managed to smuggle out. And the one person he knew would hide away a angry, cold man like him, was you.

You and Peter had been partners; but he had left you when he met Perez and work got too much. When he was put on the Jigsaw case he had seen you. He wondered what had been the “morally corrupt” part of you that Jigsaw had seen and placed you in a trap for.

He knocked on your door; it was cold outside, his shaky breaths he let out puffed into the air in white clouds. His throat was sore, a bandage over the wound, and his voice was dry and scratchy when he spoke, above a whisper, his things like his files were tucked underneath his arm, wearing a leather jacket. Then you opened the door; he didn’t waste any time to explain.
