Pete's Auto Body

## Layout and Structure

Pete's Auto Body was a junkyard at 58th Street. Numerous auto parts and car wrecks were stacked all around the big area. The owner's office was located in a building in this area. This building had a big garage for the repair and assessment of cars. Next to it was a small toilet room and a hidden door leading to a long hallway with several shelves with tools and repair parts. At the end of the hallway was the office, which was later turned into a surveillance room by Detective Mark Hoffman, successor of the late John Kramer, better known as the Jigsaw Killer. From this room, he could observe the garage as well the police station on several monitors.

## History

### Cat-And-Mouse Game

Minutes later, the Metropolitan Police Department was informed about a car accident at the junkyard. However, when Officer Rogers, Matt Gibson's partner, arrived at the scene, he quickly realized that the supposed accident was actually another Jigsaw trap. Therefore, he called Gibson, who ordered him not to let anyone to the crime scene, including the homicide division. When he arrived at the scene, he immediately listened to the audio tape, which had contained the instructions for Evan. The tape however was severely damaged. Therefore, Gibson gave it to one of the forensics for further examination. After that, he discussed the new situation with Rogers as it was suspicious that the new game had been played in such a rather public place. While Rogers assumed that Hoffman just wanted to put on a show, Gibson was convinced that there was more behind it. Afterwards, he took a look at the severely humiliated corpses of the other three victims and ordered a coroner to send them to the morgue as they had to be abducted immediately. Suddenly, he was called to an adjacent toilet room by Rogers. Upon entering, he saw the words "Gibson, See For Yourself" written on a mirror in red letters. Furthermore, he found a blood-smeared beartrap left there by Hoffman and ordered Rogers to send it to the lab, hoping that fingerprints might be found on it.

While Gibson took Jill Tuck to a safe house for key witnesses, Rogers stayed at the junkyard. Meanwhile, Hoffman, who observed the junkyard from the secret surveillance room, detonated the bomb placed in one of the car wrecks and therefore lured all the cops to the outside of the garage. Rogers called Gibson to inform him about the explosion, when seconds later, another bomb detonated. Therefore, Gibson told him to let the bomb squad search the junkyard before they went on with their investigation. Meanwhile, Hoffman embraced his opportunity, left the secret room and took the mutilated corpse of Dan from his body bag. He dragged the dead body into the room, put a black cloak on him and placed him on a chair in front of the surveillance monitors. Afterwards, he left the room again and hid himself in the body bag. Shortly afterwards, he and the three remaining corpses of Dan's friends were taken to the morgue for their obduction by Dr. Adam Heffner.

### Matt Gibson's Death

Later that evening, Officer Palmer managed to trace the second video sent by Hoffman to the junkyard and immediately informed Gibson. Only minutes later, he arrived at the junkyard and immediately went to the toilet room where Hoffman had written the message for him on the mirror, accompanied by two officers armed with shotguns. After securing the room, he quickly realized that the wall with the mirror was actually a hidden door. Therefore, he took the shotgun from one of his colleagues and smashed the mirror. After that, he broke through the door and entered the hidden hallway along with the officers. Thereby, they finally reached a surveillance room where they saw a hooded figure sitting in front of the monitors. Thinking it was Hoffman, Gibson aimed his gun at him and ordered him to show his hands. The person however didn't react. While holding him at gunpoint, Gibson carefully approached and ultimately kicked him off the chair. Upon doing so, he realized that the figure wasn't Hoffman, but Dan, one of the four victims of the car trap. Initially confused, Gibson noticed the angel statue from Hoffman's video standing on a pedestal.

He then took a look at the monitors, which showed the police station. When he saw that Hoffman had hacked their camera security system, he realized that Hoffman had hidden himself in Dan's body bag in order to infiltrate the station through the morgue. Therefore, he called Palmer and ordered her to call all officers back to the station immediately. However, before he could tell her the reason for his panic, the sentry gun previously set up by Hoffman emerged behind him and started to fire before he could react, thereby killing Gibson and the other officers while Palmer listened to the shots on the phone.
