Linda's game was now on its 10TH day. Brenda, Elias & Flynn were all desperate to escape & return home.

"I want to get out of here already. I don't want to wait any longer to see my family & friends again" said Brenda.

"We all feel like that. Ever since we were all brought here all we wanted was to go home. It won't be long before we're back where we belong" said Elias.

"Our families must be worried sick about us. It's been 1.5 weeks since they last had contact with us & they don't know where we are. I hope today's our last day here" said Flynn.

Brenda, Elias & Flynn attempted to escape yet again but none of them were surprised when their attempt failed. A set of multi-section platforms then appeared as Linda was heard on the intercom.

"For today's challenge you have to stand on the platforms for as long as possible. It's split into 7 sections & every 10 minutes the outermost section will be removed leaving less room to stand on. If you fall off or if any part of your body other than your feet touches the platform you're out of the challenge. Whoever remains on their platform the longest wins & gets to decide who'll join them in the next room. Happy balancing" said Linda.

Brenda, Elias & Flynn each stood on a platform. At 1ST none of them had any trouble balancing. At the 10-minute mark the 1ST section was removed. Nobody was affected by this. The 2ND section was removed at the 20-minute mark with all 3 kids maintaining their balance. Section 3 was removed after 30 minutes which caused Flynn to wobble a bit but not enough to make him fall. After 40 minutes had passed the 4TH section was removed. Flynn wobbled again but kept his balance. When the 5TH section was removed after 50 minutes both Brenda & Flynn wobbled while Elias remained perfectly still. The 6TH & final removable section was taken away after 60 minutes had passed. Brenda & Flynn struggled to keep their balance & ultimately Flynn fell off his platform eliminating him from the challenge. With only 1 section left on the platform Brenda & Elias did their best to maintain their balance. Brenda kept wobbling while Elias remained as still as a statue. The challenge continued for another hour before Brenda fell off her platform making Elias the winner.

"Congratulations Elias. You've made it to the final 2. You also get to decide which of the other 2 shall join you" said Linda.

The platforms disappeared & were replaced with a table that had 2 keys on it.

"I choose to save Brenda" said Elias as he grabbed a key.

"Yay I'm in the top 2" said Brenda as she grabbed a key. This left Flynn without a key.

"You've been eliminated Flynn. Brenda & Elias you may enter the next room" said Linda.

Brenda & Elias proceeded to enter the next room leaving Flynn all alone.

"The death trap in this room is a giant fan that'll dice you to pieces. That's a gory demise for an 8-year-old. Goodbye Flynn" said Linda.

"WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? LET ME GO HOME. I WANT TO SEE MY FAMILY & FRIENDS AGAIN" cried Flynn as a giant fan appeared. Flynn tried to resist being pulled into it, but it was no use. He screamed in horror as the fan diced him to pieces. Meanwhile Carlos & Tracker were searching through the jungle looking for Linda & the kids.

"There's a chance that Linda & the kids are probably hidden away somewhere around here. This is 1 of the last places I can think of that anybody would expect to find them" said Carlos.

"Si amigo. The jungle is a perfect place to hide because of how dense it is. Maybe we'll find something around here somewhere" said Tracker.

Carlos & Tracker searched everywhere they could. They checked through the bushland, ruins, temples & other open spaces. Despite their best efforts they found nothing. They proceeded to call Ryder to let him know.

"Hey guys. Was there anything in the jungle you found?" asked Ryder.

"Unfortunately, no. We searched everywhere we could think of, but we didn't come across anything that'd be of help" said Carlos.

"We have no idea where Linda & the kids could be. Their whereabouts are a mystery to us" said Tracker.

"Thanks anyways. Tomorrow we'll continue looking. Maybe we'll find something then" said Ryder.

Carlos & Tracker hung up & proceeded to settle down for the night. As Tracker went to bed he thought about how confusing it was not having any way of knowing where else to search.

"Aye, aye, aye I feel dizzy from all this searching. This must be the most complex mission I've ever been on. I'm not sure where else to look. Everywhere we can search we've more than likely already done so. I hope tomorrow is the last day of the search so that we can get the kids back to their homes" thought Tracker as he went to sleep.
