Chapter 11: London Adventure

Team Amazon were in the Loser class along with TCRRRH which was now an all guys team consisting of Alejandro, Owen, Noah and Tyler. Team Amazon had not changed since they were grouped together.

"Why are we in the Loser Class? We won last time, or didn't lose anyway." Heather asked crossing her arms and sulking.

"Chris said that he needed First Class today for a special guest." Dawn said as she sat in a meditative position on one of the benches.

Courtney sat on the bench and as she did she also accidentally sat on Gwen's hand.

"Ah! Sunburn!" the Goth shrieked as she started to blow on her sunburned flesh.

"Oops, sorry, how do you end up with on just one hand?" The CIT asked.

"I don't know I guess the umbrella had a loose handle." Gwen said holding her hand in pain.

After a few minutes Courtney returned with a bucked filled with white paste looking texture.

"Here soak your hand in this." She said holding out the bucket."It'll cool the burn. It's a special mix of green tea and bird guano." Gwen released a sigh just before she processed those words.

"Wait. Guano. Isn't that…" She trailed off and Heather finished for her.

"A nicey nice name for poo." At that the Goth retracted her hand in disgust.

"Bird poo filled with healing properties. I learned how to make at CIT First Aid weekend. It`s gross, but it helps right?"

Reluctantly Gwen placed her hand back in the bucket and sighed in relief once again.

"Bonding over poop juice. Ugh. Is there anyone sane left around here?" Heather asked only to turn to her right where Dawn and Cody sat and were conversing about dietary kinds.

A bit further away Owen was eating Jamaican scotch bonnet peppers and chugging milk to cool of his throat.

"Man no one can eat these. Hey, hey Al. I dare anyone here to eat one without drinking milk or anything." The lovable oaf said.

Ignoring the twitch in his eye Alejandro spoke.

"I suppose since there is nothing to do. But I must confess in advance even if I come from a country where spiciness and such but I have a weak stomach. So be warned if I do not hold up."

At that Cody spoke.

"Hey, if anything it only shows you`re human. We`re not all perfect man. Everyone has flaws. Some more prominent than others and some hide them well. No need to be ashamed."

Confession Cam.

Alejandro- I always thought Cody to be naïve, but with his previous comment I begin to see him as more than a pawn. Not a friend, definitely not a friend, but perhaps a challenge. But not a friend ….I think.

As he took one pepper and bit of a piece of it every contestant saw the Spaniards face turn red before he squeaked out and 'I gotta go' before running to the bathroom.

Next was Tyler who boldly stuffed a whole pepper in his mouth which caused steam to blow out of his ears and he ran to the bathroom as well.

Noah was the smart one and refused to do the dare.

This left Cody with a hot coal red pepper in his fingers. Shrugging he bit off the whole vegetable and as the rest of the competitors was scrutinizing his face a single muscle didn't twitch.

"I like spicy food." Was all he said and sat back next to Dawn.

For a second Cody thought he heard a scream but just as he was about to check out what happened when Chris intervened.

"Attention helpless competitors. We have been denied permission to land so you`re gonna have to jump." Was heard over the PA and the teens started complaining.

"And Chef may have miscounted parachutes. So you wanna light a pepper under your butt and grab one before they`re gone."

Soon all contestants were wearing parachutes well except Owen and Noah who looked like they had to share.

"Life why do you hate me so?" Noah asked.

Cody tightened straps to his shoulders automatically and jumped. As the wind whipped his hair he spread his arms and slowed down his descend. He looked to his left to see Dawn with her eyes closed and her hair in a silver halo under the full moon. He felt his breath hitch, she was like an heavenly being falling from the heavens.

As they landed they noticed that Tyler had his parachute stuck to a piece of the Tower of London and Owen had landed on a double Decker bus with Noah under him, cherished no doubt.

It was several minutes later when both teams were in the bus did they notice someone were missing. And heather expressed it.

"Wait. Where`s Alejandro?" she asked looking around.

"Yes. Where is he?" Chris said looking around. Cody deduced it he knew and was going to stall telling them.

"The answer in a second, but first gun it Chief!" he ordered which was followed by the man putting the pedal to the metal.

"London home to loads of wicked stuff. Big Ben, the London Eye, the sandwich stuffed with French fries known as chip buddy." He said through a tour microphone.

"Yes please." Owen said raising his hand.

"It's also home to Scotland yard. The world's biggest crime busting outfit. But there was one case even Scotland Yard couldn't crack…Jack the Ripper!" he said at which Heather, Gwen and Courtney gasped.

"The wacko serial killer who terrorized Victorian London. Today you will be tracking this bad boy down. But be careful. Jacks also hunting you. That's why TCRRRH is now shorthanded." The host finished.

"What?! The Ripper got Al?! Not Al!?" Owen despaired.

"Next stop, Tower of London." Chris announced as Heather started to worry over. Gwen said about how she did a speech about the Ripper in grade six. Courtney's six grade speech was the Tower of London.

A little later Chris told them they had to followed a series of clues through the tower complex all the way to the ripper's secret lair.

They literally had to change the guards. On would have to strip them down till they found the clue.

"Your challenge is to follow a series of clues to the Tower complex. All the way to the Rippers secret lair. Bag the criminal mastermind before he gets you and you win. Your first clue will be found during the Changing of the Guard and when I say change I mean 'change the guards'. Your clue is hidden in his uniform so one of you has to strip him down to his gitch and find it. "The host said smirking at them making the contestants gasp.

"Whoa. Strip a dude? I'm out."Tyler said crossing his arms.

"Up to you bro. million bucks`s all I'm saying. And while you`re at it." And a bell rang making the teenagers groan.

Owen:It's creepy how they stand there,and don't even blink!
I don't wanna see his bum,naked and pink

Noah:Hey buddy,
can we bribe you,
to strip yourself down?

Owen:Yum-Yum Happy Go Time Fish?

Noah:Don't kill him, you Clown!

Courtney:No way,I can't strip him,Duncan will Freak!

Heather:And I'm allergic to uniform

Gwen:Okay,that just weak

Dawn:I don`t think I can do that. I go against all I've vowed.

Gwen:Okay,so then I have to do it,uh,Hello?Injury!? Ow!

Courtney:If we're gonna find the clue...

Heather:There's only thing to do!

Dawn: Force someone to strip him down!

Courtney,Heather,Sierra:And,sorry, Gwen it's you

Gwen:Ow! oh,Wait!

Noah:If we gonna fine that clue...

Owen:There's only one thing to do!

Noah:Force someone to strip him down!

Owen and Noah:And Tyler,Dude! It's you

Gwen:I can't believe I'm doing this. It`s so gross I almost barfed.

Dawn: Quick just shut your eyes and it`ll pass, I bet.

Gwen:Yeah,we're gonna fine that clue

Heather:We're doing what Chris proposed!

Courtney:Force someone to strip him down!

Courtney,Gwen,Heather:Cause' if we don't,we hosed!

Courtney:Totally ho-oh-Oh-oh-Oh-oh-osed

As Gwen pulled of the guard`s left shoe an envelope fell out of it. Courtney opened it and read the clue.

"Pull taut a top a southern spire." As it dawned to her she shouted.

"Quick follow me!" and ran off the rest following them.

They ran to a room where Courtney, Heather and Gwen entered while Dawn was uncomfortable with being near so many death machines so Cody opted to stay with her in the halls.

As they stood there Dawn looked at the halls that were decorated with armors and paintings.

"It looks quite authentic." She said.

"It is some of the decorations here were directly used. Did you know one woman had a dress made of the finest silk and had pearls and diamonds stitched into it just so she could wear it once." Cody told Dawn who gaped at him.

"No that can't be true, can it?" she looked at Cody who only nodded to confirm her question.

Looking around herself Dawn hugged herself.

"it`s just the aura of this particular building is quite sinister and morbid, since it was used so sinisterly." And she pointed at one torturing chamber.

Cody suddenly felt a person behind him and just before the said person lunged at him, he side stepped and pushed the person to the wall and grabbed them by the collar of the shirt they wore under the cloak.

"Wait, eh. It`s me yo." A familiar homeschooled voice sounded off and Cody paused as his grip relaxed.

"Ezekiel?" he asked as the figure nodded under the mask.

"Sorry bout this but you`re out, eh. At least I don`t have to pull you to the plane." Ezekiel said as Cody and Dawn simply looked at each other and nodded. They headed in the direction of the plane, since Dawn didn`t want to spend any more time in the Tower than it was necessary.

As they exited the tower they heard Chris speak to the camera.

"And then there were six. Will anybody survive the Ripper, and this show?"

He dramatically waved his hands.

After the cameras stopped filming Cody approached the host.

"Hey Chris, do you mind if we take a walk instead of sitting in the plane?"

The host looked thoughtful for a second before shrugging.

"Meh, as long as you are not caught on camera."

Looking at each other Cody offered his forearm to Dawn in a gentlemanly way.

"Shall we?" he asked making the petite blonde giggle.

"We shall." She said and snaked her arm around his.

They did not know when the search was going to end but they didn`t drift away far from the plane. And they were right, not even an hour later both TCRRRH and Team Amazon were with filled sacks, both claiming they had the said person.

So as the now two rejoined teams waited to see who won and who lost.

"Sweet everyone`s okay!" Owen said as he and Noah entered last.

"Yup. Everyone's fine, you guys were so stupid to be worried." Heather spoke making almost all who were disqualified glare at her.

"But it was reassuring to see some were concerned." Alejandro cast a glare at that to a certain bookworm.

"You were watching everything?" Noah nervously asked.

"Wow that`s awkward." He said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, like and eel dipped in grease." Alejandro hissed out the last word.

"Where I`m from, that`s a compliment! Tough neighborhood." Noah said trying to appease the situation, though it was clearly not working.

"But hey, we caught the Ripper guy." He spoke as the lovable oaf removed the sack and reveal the person who was hunting them.

"Old man Jenkins?!" all the contestants except for a certain blonde girl and brunette boy gasped out.

Chris approached the Ripper and grabbed the 'old man' by the face and pulled off the second mask revealing the Ripper to be?

"Ezekiel?!" The same contestants gasped out.

"I was just trying to get back in the show,eh.' He said before Chef explained.

"Found him living in the cargo hold. Home schooling with the rats." The boy who was already pale was paper white now due to lack of sun beams.

"I was going to let him back in the game if he could avoid getting captured, but since he could not…" the host snapped his finger and Chef threw the homeschooled boy out of the plane.

Conf. Cam.

Cody- Ok, so I knew Ezekiel was still in the plane, and I may have sneaked him a sleeping bag and some food, here and there. But I couldn`t rat him out to Chris. So I guess he got caught, but knowing him he would find a way to stay in the plane. So I'll leave an MRE and Water for him, he needs it after today.

"So who did Courtney and Gwen catch?" Heather asked.

"Well Chris wanted a criminal, so okay we didn't catch the right one but…" Gwen spoke, then removed the bag revealing…..

"Duncan!?" even Cody was surprised at that but not Dawn.

Conf. Cam.

Dawn- I sensed his aura from the first episode. So I was not much surprised.

"You brought me back here? Ugh." The punk groaned.

"Where`s the stupid exit again?" He said heading towards the door, only to be stopped by the host.

"Not so fast Quitter. Thought you could skip out on the game ,eh? Thought I wouldn't find you?" he spoke only for Gwen to interrupt him.

"Um, you didn't. We did." She said smiling at Courtney.

"And that`s why Team Amazon wins today`s competish." He said with a smirk.

"Yes!" The girls shouted.

"What?!" Noah and Owen exclaimed.

"Head on back to Loser Class duded, first class goes to the ladies."

"Ahem."

"And Cody. For consolation prize, the D man `s now on your team." Chris said pointing towards the Mohawk punk.

"But someone else is going to have to go." Chris said.

Noah was the one to leave and Cody was able to hear the 'beware of eels' warning the bookworm gave, as he hid behind the totem pole.

When he left the voting room, and returned to First class he noticed Dawn was sending glances at Gwen who had fallen asleep on her chair.

"What`s wrong?" He asked as he sat next to the petite moonchild.

"Gwen`s aura just got tainted, it`s only a little but if its left it will grow quite a bit."

Cody glanced at the Goth who was quietly snoring.

As h looked at the now quiet plane he remembered the saying, 'the calm before the storm'.

He just hoped the storm would not be too bad.``
