Round-2 [Part-2]

Crash: [Wiping sweat from his brow] This is ridiculous. I feel like I'm in a sauna.

Dek: [Rolling his eyes] You'd also complain about a cool breeze, redhead.

Crash: [Grinning] If it messed up my hair, mophead.

Dek: [Laughs] I doubt it could get any worse with hair like yours.

Crash: [Pretending to be offended] Watch it, older man.

Dek: [Smirking] I might be old, but at least I don't look like a burnt matchstick.

Crash: [Looking around] We need to determine where this heat comes from. Any ideas, Einstein?

Dek: [Nods] Let's start investigating. There's got to be a source.

Crash: [Pointing] How about that corner over there?

Dek: [Walking over] Worth a shot. Are you coming, or are you going to melt?

Crash: [Follows] You wish. Let's get this over with.

Dek: [Kneeling] Feel anythinAnythingl here?

Crash: [Feeling the wall] Nope, nothing. There is no hot air.

Dek: [Standing up] Let's keep looking. Check under the tables.

Crash: [Bending down] Sure thing, burnt man.

Dek: [Looking around] What about that broken table in the back?

Crash: [Sarcastically] Oh great, Sherlock's on the case.

Dek: [Ignoring the jab] check it, redhead.

Crash: [Moves to the broken table] Fine, mophead. Let's see what we have here.

Dek: [Standing next to him] AnythinAnything: [Feeling the side of the table] Wait, there's something here. It's hotter than the rest of the room.

Dek: [Kneeling] Let me see. [Touches the side] You're right. It's warmer.

Crash: [Grinning] See? I told you I'm good for something.

Dek: [Laughs] Even a broken clock is right twice daily, redhead.

Crash: [Pretending to be offended] You wound me, older man.

Dek: [Serious] This heat is coming from here. It's almost like...

Crash: [Interrupting] Like a heater's hidden inside or something.

Dek: [Nods] Exactly. We need to figure out how to shut it off.

Crash: [Looking around] Any switches or panels nearby?

Dek: [Scanning the area] That is not what I can see. Maybe it's inside the table.

Crash: [Grinning] Guess it's time to play handyman.

Dek: [Smirking] Try not to break anythinAnything man.

Crash: [Pretending to be hurt] You wound me, mophead.

Dek: [Focused] Let's see if we can pry this open.

Crash: [Searching for a tool] Here, use this pen.

Dek: [Takes the pen] Worth a try. [Starts prying the side of the table]

Crash: [Watching closely] Be careful; you don't want to break it anymore.

Dek: [Prying harder] Almost got it... There! [The side panel comes off]

Crash: [Peering inside] What's that? Some heating unit?

Dek: [Nodding] Looks like it—no wonder it's so hot.

Crash: [Reaching in] Let's see if we can switch it off.

Dek: [Grabbing his arm] Wait, let me. You'll probably fry yourself.

Crash: [Grinning] Always so concerned for me.

Dek: [Dryly] don't want to deal with the smell of burnt hair.

Crash: [Laughs] Fair enough. Go ahead.

Dek: [Reaching in carefully] There's a switch here. Got it. [Clicks the switch]

Crash: [Feeling the air] Is it getting cooler?

Dek: [Nods] Yeah, I think it worked.

Crash: [Sighs in relief] Finally. Good job, mophead.

Dek: [Smirking] Thanks, redhead. Now, let's figure out what's next.

Crash: [As the lights flicker] Looks like we triggered something.

Dek: [Watching the lights] Just great. What now?

Crash: [Points to the wall] Look, a notification.

Dek: [Reading it] "20 minutes left ."

Crash: [Grinning] Did you make it worse, older man?

Dek: [Smirking] Bring it on, P.A.I.R

Crash: [Seeing the notification] Twenty minutes left. The real test is to escape.

Dek: [Sarcastically] Great. It's just what we needed.

Crash: [Walking to the door] And it's locked. Of course.

Dek: [Feeling a draft] is it getting colder here?

Crash: [Shivering slightly] You noticed that too?

Dek: [Rolling his eyes] Captain Obvious strikes again.

Crash: [Ignoring him] We need to find the source. Any ideas, mophead?

Dek: [Looking around] Let's split up. Check the corners.

Crash: [Searching the room] Fine. I'll take the left side.

Dek: [Heading right] I'll check the right.

Crash: [Noticing something] Hold up. I think I found something.

Dek: [Walking over] What is it?

Crash: [Pointing] There's a draft behind this whiteboard.

Dek: [Feeling the air] You're right. It's coming from here.

Crash: [Grinning] Told you I'm good for something.

Dek: [Ignoring the comment] Let's move it and see what's behind it.

Crash: [Helping Dek move the whiteboard] On three. One, two, three.

Dek: [Revealing a vent] There it is—a vent blowing cold air.

Crash: [Shivering] No wonder it's freezing in here.

Dek: [Looking at the other cadgets] Why aren't they doing anythinAnything: [Shrugs] Maybe they're too scared. Or too cold to move.

Dek: [Walking over to another cadget] Hey, why aren't you doing anything 1: [Bl? nkly] We're waiting for instructions.

Crash: [Joining Dek] Instructions? The test is to escape, genius.

Cadget 1: [Nervously] We weren't told to move.

Dek: [Frustrated] Unbelievable. You guys are just sitting here?

Cadget 2: [Shivering] We thought it was part of the test.

Crash: [Sarcastically] freezing to death is definitely part of the test.

Dek: [Turning back to Crash] We need to find another way.

Crash: [Looking around] There has to be a control panel or something.

Dek: [Nods] Let's keep looking. Maybe we missed something.

Crash: [Spotting something] What's that in the corner?

Dek: [Walking over] Looks like a panel. It could be the controls.

Crash: [Opening the panel] Bingo. Temperature controls.

Dek: [Adjusting the settings] Let's see if this works.

Crash: [Feeling the air] Is it getting warmer?

Dek: [Nods] Slowly. But we're running out of time.

Crash: [Checking the clock] Fifteen minutes left.

Dek: [Turning to the cadgets] Listen up, everyone. We need to work together.

Cadget 3: [Confused] What are we supposed to do?

Crash: [Frustrated] Help us find a way out!

Cadget 4: [Nervously] We don't know how.

Dek: [Determined] Then follow our lead. We'll figure it out.

Crash: [Pointing to the door] There's got to be an override switch.

Dek: [Checking the door] NothingNothingIt's completely locked down.

Crash: [Thinking] Maybe there's a hidden mechanism.

Dek: [Nods] Check the walls. Look for anythinAnythingl.

Crash: [Searching the walls] Come on, there has to be something.

Dek: [Noticing a pattern] Wait. Look at these tiles. They're different.

Crash: [Examining the tiles] You're right. They're slightly raised.

Dek: [Pressing the tiles] Let's see if they do anythinAnything: [Hears a click] Did you hear that?

Dek: [Nods] Something moved. Try another one.

Crash: [Pressing another tile] Another click.

Dek: [Watching the door] The door's is shaking!

Crash: [Pressing the last tile] Come on, open up!

Dek: [As the door opens] We did it!

Crash: [Grinning] Told you we'd make it.

Dek: [Smirking] Nice work, redhead.

Crash: [Mockingly] Thanks, mophead.

Instructor 3: [Over the intercom] Congratulations. You've passed the second round.

[Ground starts to tremble]

Dek: [To Crash] What the...?

Crash: [Grinning] This keeps getting better
