It had now been a week since Linda's game had begun. In room 7 the 6 remaining kids were discussing how much longer it would take to escape.

"How long do you think it'll be until we get out of here?" asked Brenda.

"I don't know. I hope today we break free" said Claudette.

"With every passing day it feels like our chances of escaping are disappearing" said Darcy.

"1 way or another Linda will get caught & locked up. She's not getting away with this" said Elias.

"I've almost forgotten what she looks like since we've only seen her once" said Flynn.

"I have a feeling we might see her again soon" said Henry.

The kids tried yet another escape attempt but unsurprisingly it was in vain. A set of table mazes appeared in the room as Linda was heard on the intercom.

"For this challenge each of you must navigate a ball through a table maze trying to get it from the start corner to the finish corner. There are numerous holes around each maze & if the ball falls through any of them you must start again. The 1ST person to get their ball to the finish corner wins & starts the elimination process. Good luck everyone" said Linda.

Everyone went over to the table mazes & placed their balls in the start corner. They then began trying to manoeuvre the balls through the maze. Darcy had lots of trouble & kept getting her ball dropped through 1 of the 1ST few holes. Flynn made a fair bit of progress through the maze, but he only got halfway before dropping the ball in a hole & having to start over. Brenda did a good job navigating the passages, twists & turns but 75% of the way through the maze she dropped the ball in a hole & was forced to start over. Henry made it really close to the finish, but he couldn't make the precise movements needed & ended up starting again after dropping the ball in a hole. Claudette made it to the passage closest to the finish corner, but she made a mistake by manoeuvring the maze at an angle that caused her ball to fall in a hole leaving her to start over. Elias made sure to calculate the precise movements needed & went at a steady pace. As the others continued trying to get their balls into the finish corner as quickly as possible Elias took his time & didn't panic. His approach paid off & he got his ball into the finish corner before the others.

"You never cease to amaze me Elias. You get to start the elimination process yet again" said Linda.

The balls & table mazes disappeared & were replaced with a table holding 5 keys.

"I'm going to save Brenda" said Elias as he grabbed a key.

"I'm saving Flynn" said Brenda as she grabbed a key.

"I choose to save Claudette" said Flynn as he grabbed a key.

"The last person safe is Henry" said Claudette as she grabbed a key.

"Looks like we're the final 5" said Henry as he grabbed a key. This left Darcy without a key.

"Darcy that means you've been eliminated. The rest of you may continue to the next room" said Linda.

Darcy was left behind as the others went into the next room.

"The death trap in this room is a set of power lines that'll electrocute you. I can't imagine how that would feel for a 13-year-old. Goodbye Darcy" said Linda.

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS LINDA. YOU WILL GO TO JAIL ONCE THE POLICE FIND YOU" cried Darcy as a set of power lines appeared. Darcy was thrown into them & began to jolt as the flow of electricity hit her. She screamed as she was electrocuted. Meanwhile Rocky had gone to the South Pole to see if Linda & the kids were there. He searched everywhere he could & tried to ask the local wildlife if they'd seen anything that would help. Ultimately Rocky got no closer to finding Linda & the kids than he had before. He proceeded to return to the Lookout.

"How did you go Rocky?" asked Ryder.

"The South Pole was bare. I didn't see anything unusual & the wildlife weren't of any help either. I don't think we're any closer to finding Linda & the kids" said Rocky.

"OK thanks Rocky. We'll continue tomorrow. Let's get some rest" said Ryder.

Everyone settled down for the night. As Rocky went to bed he thought about how difficult it was to find Linda & the kids.

"This is a very frustrating search & rescue effort. None of us have any idea where Linda & the kids are & everywhere we look turns up nothing. We need some type of clue or sign. If we had 1 I think we'd have an easier time rescuing the kids from Linda's "game"" thought Rocky as he drifted off to sleep.
