It had now been 8 days since the beginning of Linda's game. The 5 remaining kids were in another room wondering if they were close to escaping.
"I'm sure that we'll be out of here pretty soon. I doubt we'll be stuck here much longer" said Brenda.
"I hope you're right. The sooner we can get home the better" said Claudette.
"Even if we do get out of here we don't know exactly where we are. That might make getting home that much more difficult" said Elias.
"Maybe we're not that far away from our family & friends. They could be nearby & we don't know it" said Flynn.
"Hopefully today we'll be out of here & Linda will go to jail" said Henry.
Everyone tried to find an escape route, but it didn't work. A basketball hoop & a pair of basketballs then appeared as Linda's voice was heard on the intercom.
"Today's challenge will be played round robin style. 2 at a time you'll face off in a basketball shootout. You'll each have 10 shots to make as many baskets as you can. Whoever gets the most baskets in each match wins. Whoever wins the most matches wins the challenge & gets to start the elimination process" said Linda.
Brenda & Claudette were the 1ST 2 to face off. They both grabbed the balls & took it in turns shooting hoops from an equal distance away. Brenda sank 6 baskets while Claudette sank 7 making her the winner of the 1ST match. Brenda then faced off against Elias. Elias carefully aimed at the basket with precision & easily beat Brenda 10 to 8. Brenda's next opponent was Flynn. She won the match by sinking 9 baskets to his 5. Brenda's final match was against Henry which she won after sinking 5 baskets to his 3. Claudette & Elias went next. Elias' aim & precision allowed him to win the match 10 to 9. Claudette & Flynn then faced off with Claudette winning 4 to 1. Claudette's final match against Henry ended with her winning 2 to 0. Elias & Flynn went next with Elias using his aim & precision to win 10 to 6. Elias' last match against Henry was close as they both got all 10 baskets. Elias won the tiebreaker to win the match. Flynn & Henry then faced off in the final match. Flynn took the victory after sinking 1 basket whereas Henry didn't sink any. Elias had won yet another challenge.
"Congratulations on winning again Elias. You get to start the elimination process again" said Linda.
The basketballs & basketball hoop disappeared & were replaced with a table holding 4 keys.
"I shall save Brenda" said Elias as he grabbed a key.
"I'm saving Flynn" said Brenda as she grabbed a key.
"The last person safe is Claudette" said Flynn as he grabbed a key.
"Final 4 here we come" said Claudette as she grabbed a key. This left Henry without a key.
"Henry you've been eliminated. The rest of you may enter the next room" said Linda.
Brenda, Claudette, Elias & Flynn entered the next room leaving Henry by himself.
"The death trap in this room is a giant hammer that'll knock you around & beat you to death. For a 6-year-old that's a pretty brutal way to die. Goodbye Henry" said Linda.
"HELP ME. I WANT MY PARENTS. DON'T LET ME DIE" cried Henry as a hammer swung out from the wall & struck him. Henry screamed in agony as the hammer knocked him around & beat him to death. Meanwhile Rubble had gone out to the desert in search of Linda & the kids. He searched everywhere he could & even asked Mr & Mrs Wingnut if they'd seen anything. Unfortunately, they hadn't. After searching every inch of the desert land & finding nothing Rubble returned to the Lookout.
"Did you find anything Rubble?" asked Ryder.
"No. There was nothing in the desert that was of any help & Mr & Mrs Wingnut hadn't seen anything either. I think it's safe to say that Linda & the kids are in another location" said Rubble.
"Thanks Rubble. We need to get some rest before we continue the search tomorrow" said Ryder.
Everyone proceeded to turn in for the night. As Rubble went to bed he thought about how bizarre it was that Linda & the kids weren't anywhere to be seen.
"This is so weird. I don't understand how Linda & the kids can be so well hidden. We've almost run out of places to look for them. It's strange how nobody knows where they even went or the location of the rooms this game is being held at. Hopefully soon we'll find the answer to all this" thought Rubble as he went to sleep.
