The Next Morning
"Zack!Get up, you're gonna be late for school"!Carey called from the kitchen putting a stack of pancakes in front of Cody.
"Don't even bother mom, whatever you do or say he's not leaving that room"Cody said.
"Nonsense, I'm a mom and moms have their own little tricks"Carey said walking over to Zack's bedroom door.
"Zachary!You better open this door on the count of three young man"!Carey called."One...".
"TWo...three"Carey said tapping her foot anxiously. Zack never opened the door.
"Way da put your foot down mom"Cody exclaimed sarcastically. CArey shot him a disgusted look.
"I still have one more trick up my sleeve"mom said. She went over to the drawer and started looking for something. She took out a key and walked bac ovewr to Zack's bedroom.
"You have a key!?Why didn't you tell me?!"Cody said.
"I don't know, I guess I thought I didn't need to"CArey said and unlocked the door. She walked in and closed the door. After a couple of minutes CArey came back out, by herself.
"So where's Zack"?Cody asked with a grin on his face.
"He's not feeling well today"CArey said. Cody laughed in his head.
LAter that DAy
Cody walked into the lobby, back from school and walkd over to the candy counter. Mr.Moseby had gotten someone to replace MAddie until she return or if she returned. Her name was SArah, she was the same age as ZAck and COdy.
"Hey Sarah"COdy greeted, approaching the counter.
"Hi"SArah said.
"Give one chocolate bar, please"Cody said. SArah gave him the candy bar and Cody handed her the money.
"There you are COdy, I need to speak to you...it's about MAddie"MR.Moseby said walking up to him.
"Okay"COdy said. He nodded goodbye to SArah and followed Mr.Moseby over to the front desk.
"So what is it about Maddie"?Cody asked.
"They found a teenage girl's body in the woods outside of Boston, it's pretty slashed up, they think it's Maddie"Mr.Moseby said. Cody turned a sickly pale.
"Maddie's family is over there to see if it's her"Mr.Moseby said. Cody nodded and walked over to the elevator. He walked in and press the button tothe 23rd floor. He reached his suite and opened it with his cardkey. He walked in and found his mom sitting on the couch.
"Hey Cody, how was scho-, honey what's wrong"?Carey said when she saw how pale COdy was.
"They found a body in the woods today"COdy muttered.
"Oh my gosh! Do they think it's Maddie"?Carey said getting up. COdy nodded.
"Her parents are over there right now to see if it's Maddie"Cody said.
"SHould we tell ZAck"?Carey ased.
"Tell ZAck what"?ZAck asked from behind them. They looked over and saw that ZAck was standing in the doorway of his bedroom.
"Uh honey"Carey said looking over at COdy nervously.
"Is there something wrong"?ZAck asked.
"Zack, they found a slashed up teenage girl in the woods, they think it's Maddie"Cody explained. CArey shot him a look. ZAck just looked at them for a moment and then went back inside and slammed the door.
"See what you did"?Carey said.
LAter that Day
COdy was in the lobby talking to Estabon when MR.Moseby and London came over. Estabon and Cody exchanged worried looks.
"I just got off the phone with MAddie's parents"Mr.Moseby started.
"Is it her"?Cody asked.
"WEll the body matches MAddie's description..but MAddie's parents couldn't tell, that's why they're doing a DNA test to find out"Mr.Moseby said.
"Where's ZAck?I haven't seen him all day today"?London asked.
"He's up in his room, he's taking this hard, I mean he wouldn't even go to school today"COdy said.
"WEll you better go tell him the news, I think he would want to be filled in on the news too"Mr.Moseby said. Cody nodded and walked over to the elevator.
