I was just eating the last chocolate bar in the house when I received a phone call from Jabond. Apparantly Zega had gone missing after a plane crash, remembering the last time she went missing... around the same time my box of chocolates also disappeared, I wasn't too worried. I still hadn't completely forgiven her for eating all of the chocolates with strawberry filling.
However, Jabond was insistant that I go look for her so, I reluctantly pulled on my coat and set about finding my car keys.

Finally, the darn keys were under the sofa.
Getting in my car I decided that I would need a little extra help if I was to find the energy to go searching for Zega. I drove to the little 24 hour garage and stocked up on my old favourites, a couple of twix's and a kitkat. I also stopped off at The Amazing Race HQ, and picked up a map of Zega's flight plan.

I had the map upside down, quickly realising my mistake I turned around and headed towards the spot where Zega's plane had last been spotted. There was nothing to be seen apart from a huge forest and a pile of what looked to be aeroplane rubble. A quick search of the rubble turned up a couple of rescue packs and a rubix cube. I took the rubix cube, that may come in handy, or at least I would have something to do incase I got bored.

I now remember why I don't own a rubix cube, the darn red ones will never match up...

Enough rest, I had to find Zega before something awful happened to her. I set off into the forest, it was pretty dark in there but I was unafraid... really! I stumbled across a clearing and the moon gave me some light. I probably should have brought one of those rescue packs with me, a torch would have been handy. But meh I can't think of everything.

After circling a tree that looked remarkably like Elvis for a while I heard a cry coming from my left. I hurried over there and spotted Zega looking very uncomfortable. She mumbled something about not coming any closer, and thats when I saw it.

There was a snake as big as...a...well a snake, and it was making its way steadily towards Zega. I tried throwing sticks at it, but it didn't even slow down, I eventually ran out of sticks and in desperation I threw the rubix cube at it. That scared it off, I knew that cube would come in handy!
I hurried over to Zega and she was badly bruised but nothing was broken, we shared the twix's but I kept quiet about the kitkat, I was still remembering those strawberry chocolates.
Eventually the colour returned to her face and she felt able to stand, we began to make our way back to my car when we stumbled upon the rest of the crew. They were busy making a makeshift hut, convinced they had landed on a desert island. We informed them of their mistake and rather bashfully they followed us to my car.

After taking the 'Scenic Route' back to The Amazing Race HQ, I dropped an exhausted Zega and crew back into the safe hands of Jabond. I bid farewell to Zega and she wished me luck with the rest of the race, she also mentioned that she was planning to drive home instead of risking another flight. I told her I thought that was for the best.
I made my way home with only a quick detour by that wonderful cafe across the road from HQ. With a bacon and egg muffin safely inside my stomach, I headed for home and bed.
