Chapter 1:
The Accident
Carrie just rolled her eyes and sighed as she read the front-page headlines in the morning paper. The main headline read:
Tipton Sued!
Tipton Sued For Elevator Accident! Manager Fired!
She couldn't believe it. 'How could so much happen in so little time' she thought to herself. Everything was ruined just because of one accident. She looked up as Zack and Cody emerged from their bed. She gave them a motherly smile as they rubbed their eyes. They were now staying in a Comfort Inn, for the Tipton was under police investigation. They walked straight over to Carrey who was sitting at the small table in their room drinking coffee. They both glanced at the headlines. Great shock filled their faces. As they read the rest of the article, they began to see how their once fabulous life was drastically going to change. They looked at each other with awe. Carrey looked up at her two boys with the same expression. The two boys then just walked off towards the bathroom to brush their teeth. As Carrey drank her coffee, she remembered what had happened only yesterday that was going to change her life for a while.
It was almost 12:00 on Sunday, May 23. Moseby was all excited, for 12:00 was check out time, and it was Sunday, the most popular day to check out. He wouldn't have as many guests to deal with. Twelve people got in the elevator, most on their way down to check out. Carrey was one of them. Carrey was heading out to go to the grocery store. Suddenly, she realized she had forgotten her list, and at the next floor, she hopped off, and took the stairs. There were only eleven people left. At exactly 11:50, the elevator reached the 10th floor. Suddenly, there was a jerk of the elevator, and snap! The cables holding up the elevator had broken, and the elevator was now hurtling eleven people towards the basement. Mr. Moseby and other guests froze as they heard the elevator zoom past, and they heard the muffled screams of the people inside. Mr. Moseby went pale, almost a deathly white. Suddenly, there was a loud, crash, and Mr. Moseby knew that the elevator had crashed at the basement. Mr. Moseby called 911, and then he rushed to the elevator door. He pried it open and looked down. There it was, the crushed elevator. He listened for moans, but could hear none. That worried him the most. He knew he would lose his job now. He was certain of it. A few minutes later, the ambulance crews rushed in, and saw what had happened. The police moved people from the lobby and the rooms above. The employees were told to stay. Carrey was startled when she opened the door to a police officer. He said that they were evacuating the building, and that they were not to panic. He asked if they had any employees in their room, and Carrey said that she was one. Carrey called for Zack and Cody, and told them to follow the officer. She said that she would probably be a while, and that they weren't to worry. The two boys followed the police officer. Carrey grabbed her purse and worriedly headed down the stairs to the lobby.
In the lobby the other employees had gathered around. Carrey was the last to arrive. Arwin had been gone for a while on vacation. She decided to call him on his cell phone. She got his voice mail, left a message, and hung up. Carrey watched as rescue workers were lowered into the elevator shaft. She hoped that the passengers were alive. Carrey had almost been on that elevator. If she hadn't forgotten her shopping list, she would have been. 'Someone up there must really like me' she thought. An hour later, they had begun pulling out the bodies. Nine were dead. Only two survived. As they raised the corpses out of the shaft, and the all smelled grotesque. They took the bodies out, and several in the crowd screamed. Carrey sat on a couch contemplating it all. At that time, Mr. Tipton came storming in the door. The rescue workers informed him that there were two survivors. He swore under his breath. He then walked over to Moseby, and Moseby braced himself for what he knew Mr. Tipton was going to say.
He exploded at Mr. Moseby.
"Why you unprintable, expletive deleted, incompetent fool!" he yelled.
"You're fired!"
Mr. Moseby quickly walked out of the hotel, and disappeared into the lunch hour traffic.
Several hours later, Carrey was allowed to leave. Zack and Cody had been sitting out there all this time. She apologized to them, and quickly hailed a cab. She told the driver to take them to the Comfort Inn. Zack and Cody looked at her surprisingly.
She said, "We should be back in the Tipton soon boys, don't worry."
All she wanted to do was to have a relaxing shower, and get right to bed. When they reached the hotel, the boy's waited on one of the couches as Carrey checked out a room. A few minutes later, they were heading up the stairs, for Carrey was terrified of elevators now, to room 252D. It was on the second floor. As soon as they got in, Zack and Cody went to bed while Carrey took a long, hot shower. She knew it would relieve some of the stress that she had from that day. After her shower, she climbed into bed, and turned out the lights. 'How could this happen' she thought to herself as she slowly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
