Ok so here I go again. Here is Chapter 2. Now I don't know if it is any good, remember first time with this fandom so I am flying in the dark here so to speak.

Please do enjoy and thank you all very much for the reviews.

Chapter 2

It was two days after Troy had been kidnapped when a strange letter arrived at Zac Efron's manager's office. Zac was in the office having a meeting with Todd, his manager when Stacy, Todd's secretary brought the letter in. "This just arrived for you Mr Anderson" she said, giving the letter to Todd. Todd gave Zac a strange look before opening the letter and an even more confused look appeared on his face. "What's up with that look Todd?" Zac asks and his manager just hands Zac the letter and a photo. The photo is of a guy who looks like he could be Zac's twin brother with longer hair. He puts the photo down and looks at the letter:

To Whom It May Concern:

We have your mega star Zac Efron hostage, if you want to see him

Alive again you will do as we say and follow these instructions:

Leave 10 million Dollars in a trash can in the park of the city we took your star from,

Just down the road from the local high school East High. If it is not there in 5 days

We will kill Mr Efron.

You will hear from us in 5 days.

Zac looks at Todd. "Um well I guess they grabbed the wrong guy" he says to Todd who rolls his eyes. "What gave you that idea Sherlock, of course they got the wrong guy, which is good, we don't have to do anything, now about your next role" Todd says when Zac holds up a hand. "Whoa, what do you mean we do nothing!?, common man, think about it, the kidnappers may not have gotten me but they DID get someone, I know my parents would be going out of their minds with worry if it were me, and I do feel sort of responsible, I mean he was taken cause he looks scarily like me" Zac says, once again looking at his doppelgangers photo. He could not get over just how this guy looks like him. "I am going to this East High to find out who exactly this is" Zac says and leaves a stuttering Todd alone.

A day later in East High School………..

Zac walks into the high school, mindful of all the stares that are pointed in his direction. "Yo Troy man, where have you been for the last 5 days and what did you do to your hair?" Zac hears from behind but figures that the guy was talking to someone else and keeps looking for the office. He takes a few steps when he feels a hand on his shoulder and is spun around to face a coloured guy with WILD hair staring at him. Behind him is what looks like a basketball team and a pretty girl with black hair and a worried look in her eyes. "Troy, why didn't you answer me when I spoke to you?" wild guy says with a mix between anger and worry on his face. "Huh, oh, I'm not Troy" Zac says figuring that the missing guys name was Troy. "Funny man, why haven't you been at school these last few days? You ruined our surprise birthday party for you" Wild guy says and the girl steps forward. "Troy is everything ok?" she asks softly and Zac feels bad for not being their friend, seeing how they cared for him. "Look people, I hate to burst your bubble, but I am not your friend Troy, here, look at this" Zac says and pulls out his wallet and shows the people his drivers licence. "Zac Efron, yo, you're that actor for Disney!" another black guy suddenly says and the hallway goes silent with all eyes suddenly on Zac. "Um, can we take this somewhere more private, please" Zac says as a blonde girl and guy start to make their way over. "Zac, ZAC, I just HAVE to talk to you" She was saying as she was rushing over. Zac prepares to meet the crazy girl when someone pulls him into a room and closes the door. He turns to see it was the people he had just been talking to and a few extra. "Sorry about that, didn't know my voice would carry, I'm Zeke" says the guy who'd accidentally spilled who he was. "Who was that blonde girl running towards us?" Zac asks and wild guy laughs. "That was Sharpay Evans and her twin brother Ryan. Sharpay is MAD over Troy and has ambitions to be famous, I'm Chad, Troy is my best friend" Wild man, now known as Chad says. "I'm Gabriella, Troy's girlfriend. I can't believe how much you look like him" she says softly and touches his cheek gently before pulling away. After that everyone introduces themselves and he finds out that his doubles name is Troy Bolton. "What are you doing here?" a pretty black girl he now knows is Taylor asks. "My manager got a letter yesterday telling him I had been kidnapped and it had a photo. He knew it wasn't me as I was in front of him in a meeting when he got the letter. He didn't want to do anything, but I feel like it's my fault your friend was kidnapped because he looks like me and want to help by paying the ransom to get your friend back," Zac says. Troy's friends look at him in shock, not being able to believe that someone famous actually cared. "Thank you so much" Gabriella says, giving Zac a hug. "Man, I think that there is someone you need to meet, but first" Chad says and suddenly messes up Zac's hair and with the help of two other guys get Zac out of his top and into something that Gabriella says was Troy's. "So people don't think your Zac Efron again, even though you are" Chad says nodding with approval. Now Zac looked like Troy did two years ago when he had his hair cut. "Ok follow us" Zeke says and with some help he is lead to the gym changing room. There, in an office is a man looking at a picture of Troy. 'This must be his father' Zac thinks as the man looks up and his eyes go wide when he sees Zac. "I'm sorry coach, this isn't Troy" Chad suddenly says and the man's eyes go dim again. "Look Mr Bolton, my name is Zac Efron and I am here to help you get your son back" Zac says, taking a step forward. "Do you know what happened to my son? To Troy?" Mr Bolton asks and Zac nods his head, re-telling the story to Troy's father. "Thank you very much for the help, I doubt my wife and I could get 10million dollars at anytime, let alone in 4 days" Mr Bolton said. "It's the least I can do Mr Bolton. When did you realise Troy was missing?" Zac dares to ask and everyone looks at Mr Bolton, not expecting him to answer. "It was two days, it took my wife and I two days to realise our only child was missing" Mr Bolton says in a soft voice. Zac feels even worse now. At least he has his brother, now he finds out Troy is an only child, must be hard on his parents. "We discovered the day before his birthday…….."

FLASHBACK

"Honey, have you seen Troy?" Jack asks his wife when he gets home from school. "I haven't seen him in two days honey, works been really hectic and today is my first day getting home early" Brenda, Troy's mother says. "I admit I haven't seen him at school the last two days either. You don't think something bad has happened do you?" Jack asks, feeling guilty for not paying more attention to his son. "I'm sure he is fine, has there been basketball practice?" Brenda asks, taking a sip of her coffee. "Well no, and since getting that other job I haven't been home in time for dinner and I know you haven't so maybe he's been spending the last two days with Chad at his place" Jack explains, trying to assuage his feelings of guilt, thinking his son was perfectly safe. "Ok honey, well you talk to him and Chad at school today, tell him I'm going to be home early for a change and actually want my son to be here to see me" Brenda says with a smile and puts her half empty cup in the sink before kissing Jack goodbye on the cheek and leaving for work. Jack takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. 'Troy is fine, he is with Chad, will ground him for worrying his mother and me like that' Jack thinks to himself as he also leaves and locks up before heading for work.

At the school Jack Bolton purposely searches out Chad in the hallway. "Chad, come see me in my office in ten minutes, I'll give you a pass for Mrs Darbus" Coach Bolton says to Chad who nods and watches the coach walk away. 'Wonder what he wants to see me about. Must have something to do with Troy's party tonight' Chad thinks before heading to the coach's office.

When he gets there he knocks and hears "Enter" and goes into the office and sits in a chair opposite coach Bolton. "What did you want to see me about coach?" Chad asks, putting his school books on the desk. "Could you please tell Troy to come home tonight, his mom is home early and we know he's been spending the last two nights at your place, we think it is time he came home" coach Bolton says and Chad suddenly frowns. "Coach, I don't know what you're talking about. Troy hasn't been at my place in a week. The gang and I have been planning his party tonight so I've been giving him excuses not to come over. Also now you mention it, I haven't seen him at school since he left two days ago to walk home" Chad says, nodding at his memory. "What do you mean you haven't seen him at school, surely I would have noticed if my only son wasn't showing up, wouldn't I?" coach Bolton says, suddenly realising that no, he hadn't seen Troy in two days. "Chad, this is important. When Troy left to walk home, did anyone go with him?" coach Bolton asks and Chad shakes his head. "Nope coach, we all gave excuses and left him there actually, now that I think of it" Chad says remembering how Troy had just stood there while everyone left. "I think though if anyone would know if Troy walked alone it would be Sharpay Evans, she knows freakily everything Troy does, I swear sometimes I think she is a stalker" Chad says and the coach absentmindedly nods his head. "Thanks Chad, see you at practice later" Coach Bolton says without looking at Chad who stands, gets his things together and leaves. 'No one's seen Troy in two days, he hasn't been at school or at home, I need to call Brenda' he thinks to himself and picks up the phone and dials his wife's work number.

After 3 rings he hears "Brenda Bolton how I may help you" and sighs. "Honey, I think we have a problem" he says to his wife.

"What sort of a problem Jack?" Brenda asks

"Troy hasn't been to school in two days and no one has seen him. I think our son has gone missing" Jack says and hears a gasp.

"Two days! Jack, how could we not notice our only child was missing for two days?" he hears her start to cry on her side of the phone.

"I feel just as bad as you do honey, but we need to call the cops, we will find him, and we owe him the biggest apology ever" Jack says and hears his wife agree.

"Jack we mustn't let his friends know yet, we have to find our son first" Brenda says and Jack nods before remembering Brenda can't see him.

"I agree just us and the cops for now" Jack says before saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.

END FLASHBACK

"And so that is that story" Coach Bolton tells the gang and Zac. "I am sure your son is alive and well Mr Bolton, or else the kidnappers would not have sent the ransom demand to my manager" Zac says to make Mr Bolton feel better.

Ok so there we have it. Chapter 2 all done and ready to be read. Any comments good and bad are accepted. I will try update at least once a week, but NO promises there.
