The 11TH day of Linda's game had arrived. Brenda & Elias both hoped that they were in the last room & that they'd be free once they got through the challenge.
"Once we get through whatever challenge Linda has for us we'll be free. She'll be behind bars by the end of the day" said Brenda.
"I can't wait to get her put where she belongs. Our families & friends will be so happy to see us once we escape. We can do this" said Elias.
Brenda & Elias once again attempted to escape but it proved futile. Everything involved in all the previous challenges then appeared in the room as Linda was heard on the intercom.
"This challenge combines everything you've done to get to this point. You'll start by eating a bowl of food before using a bow & arrow set to hit the target & score 100 points. Then you'll answer a series of trivia questions & once you get them all right you'll then have to score 1000 points on pinball, solve a slide puzzle & hang from a bar for 10 minutes. The next part of the challenge involves crossing a grid of tiles without picking any X tiles along the way before knocking down at least 5 bowling pins. Then you must navigate a ball through a table maze after which you'll have to make 5 baskets in a row. After that you must find all the letter tiles to spell out your name before balancing on the sectioned platforms for 15 minutes with each section being removed every 2 minutes. Once that's done you must cross the finish line. The 1ST person to finish wins the challenge & the entire game. May the best person win" said Linda.
Brenda & Elias both began eating the bowl of food. It was the same mixture as before. Elias used the same tactic to get it down before moving on. Brenda copied him to avoid falling behind. They both proceeded to the targets & began using precise aim & measurements to get the required score to advance. Elias got all 3 arrows on the bullseye while Brenda got 1 on the bullseye, 1 on the inner section & 1 on the outer section. The trivia quiz involved 10 questions of different topics from things like sports, politics, movies, music & TV amongst other things & every question had to be answered correctly to continue. Brenda & Elias easily breezed through the quiz & moved on. Once they arrived at the pinball machines they made sure to send the ball in every direction to get as many points as they could. After they got the required score they had to solve the sliding puzzles. It was tricky trying to get all the pieces in the right place but eventually they both finished almost simultaneously. Brenda & Elias then grabbed onto the bars & hung on. They both took deep breaths & put intense focus into hanging on that allowed them to stay on the bars long enough to continue. When they arrived at the grid of tiles they both tried to carefully plan out their route. As they crossed the grid they uncovered a few X tiles that sent them back to the start of the grid, but it didn't take long for them to figure out the correct path. Once they arrived at the bowling lane they both made sure to accurately aim the ball to knock down the required number of pins. Brenda & Elias successfully knocked over 5 pins each allowing them to continue. Once they reached the table maze they made sure to go at a steady pace to avoid having to restart. Their careful approach paid off & allowed their balls to reach the end of the maze without letting it fall into any holes along the way. Brenda & Elias then headed to the basketball hoop & began sinking baskets. It took a few attempts to get 5 consecutive baskets, but they succeeded after aiming the ball precisely. They then went over to the grid of letter tiles & began searching for the letters that spelt their name. Both the A & E tiles were quickly found as were the B, I, L, N & S tiles. The D & R tiles were found last allowing both Brenda & Elias to spell out their names & begin the final part of the challenge. As they stood on the sectioned platforms they made sure to remain as still as possible & not get thrown off balance. Every 2 minutes 1 of the 6 removable sections was taken away leaving less space to stand on. Once the platforms were down to the final permanent sections Brenda & Elias put as much focus into keeping their balance. Unfortunately for Brenda she fell off before she could last 15 minutes. Elias stayed on until the 15-minute goal had been reached allowing him to cross the finish line & win.
"Congratulations Elias. You're the winner. My condolences Brenda" said Linda.
The entire challenge setup disappeared & was replaced with a table that had 1 key resting on it.
"Once I get out of here I'll get the assistance of the authorities to take Linda to jail & get you & the others back home. I highly doubt that Linda killed them all. You'll be fine" said Elias as he entered the final room leaving Brenda by herself.
"The death trap in this room is a motion triggered firearm that'll shoot you full of bullets. How sad it is for a 9-year-old to die like that. Goodbye Brenda" said Linda.
"THIS ISN'T OVER. ELIAS WILL SAVE ME & THE OTHERS & HAVE YOU ARRESTED. YOU'RE TOAST LINDA" cried Brenda as a firearm appeared from the wall & locked onto Brenda before shooting her. Brenda screamed as she was shot to death. Meanwhile Zuma was out on the bay looking for Linda & the kids. He searched through the water & on Seal Island as well as asking Captain Turbot, Francois, Nikita, Wally & Walinda if they had seen anything that would lead in the right direction. Unfortunately, none of them had any useful info & Zuma couldn't find anything in the bay that was of help either. After failing to find a lead Zuma returned to the Lookout.
"Was there anything in the bay that was of help Zuma?" asked Ryder.
"No. I searched everywhere & asked everyone I could for any info, but I got nothing. I just don't know where else to search" said Zuma.
"Thanks anyways Zuma. We'll try again tomorrow. Let's get some rest" said Ryder.
Everyone proceeded to head off to bed. As Zuma lay in his pup house he thought about how strange it was that Linda & the kids could still be missing after 1.5 weeks.
"I don't understand. How is it taking this long to find Linda & the kids? We've searched literally almost everywhere for them & yet despite our best efforts we've gotten no closer to finding them than when the search began. I hope that tomorrow we finally find them & get the kids home safely while Linda goes to jail for what she's done" thought Zuma as he went to sleep.
