Hey guys, this is chapter seven and I would like to take a moment and dedicate this chapter to xCole-and-Dylan-rockx for being a great reader and reviewer and staying with me since the beginning of this story. Many people who started reading this forgot about this story and no longer read it because they thought I had given up on it. But when I finally updated, she was there and read and reviewed. Thanx again.
Now off to chapter seven
Enjoy
PS. Thanks to all my readers
Chapter Seven
Can I trust you a secret?
Zack's POV
"Maddie!" I screamed as I knocked on the door to the apartment next to the baseball field. "C'mon Maddie, open up!"
After a few minutes of knocking, I heard footsteps and then a twitching noise at the other side of the door.
A few rattles and twitches later, Maddie-dressed in sky blue pajama top and matching pants with bunny slippers-came out. She was a mess. Her hair was tangled in odd angles. Her eyes seemed tired and sunken. And without make-up on, she seemed a monster.
"Hey Maddie," I said as I raised my hand to say hello.
"Hello Zack," she said. "Wanna come in?"
I nodded and she let me through the door.
She led me through another door and I was inside a small but cozy living room. Brown walls, a yellowish carpet and a small television set and a pair of dusty sofas were the only things in the room.
"Please sit down," Maddie instructed and I evidently did. "Would you like some orange juice or milk, Zack?" she asked.
"No thanks, Maddie. But what I am going to tell you, it is really important. But I need you to promise something," I said.
Maddie nodded as the sleepy expression left her face.
"Okay Zack, what is it?" Maddie asked me.
"Well….um…Maddie, can I trust you a secret?" I asked Maddie.
Maddie merely nodded.
"Well, Maddie, you know how in movies, sometimes people, especially twins, can talk to each other?" I asked.
Maddie looked at me in a weird way. "Zack, everybody can talk to each other, not just twins." She laughed.
"Duh! I know that, but I mean speak to each other. Through the mind," I blurted.
Maddie stared at me dumbfounded.
"Are you telling me that you and Cody have telepathy?" Maddie asked.
"If that means we can speak to each other through the mind, yes." I said as I stretched my finger and pulled them down into fists and stretched them again to relieve my self from stress.
Maddie stared at me with her mouth open. Her eyes were fixed on me, her ears ready to hear anything else I had to say.
"Maddie? Are you all right?" I asked Maddie as I flashed my hand over her dazed face.
Maddie then moved her eyebrows and motion returned to her face. I let out a sigh of relief as she moved her head to look at me.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, so are you sure about what you are telling me Zack?" Maddie asked me.
"One hundred percent Maddie. And that is not the most surprising part of it." I said leaving Maddie hanging.
"There is more?" She asked me as she bit her lip nervously.
"Yes. Cody told me who his kidnapper is," I said.
"Who is it?"
"It's London."
Cody's POV
"So I see you are desperate for food, I see. I will give you food, after you are done with your torture." London said as she smiled an evil smile.
"My what?" I said but London had already called one of her guards.
Then as I expected a big strong guy with a black suit and shiny shoes to come in, a young man about three years older than me walked in. He was wearing a football uniform with a big red 14 over it. He had straight black hair and with a smile over his face. That was when I knew who it was. It was Jake.
"Untie him and take him to the torture session," she said. She made a motion with her finger and then the guard leaned down and London whispered something to his ear. I could not hear what she said but I did manage to hear one word. "Intense."
London gave Jake they key and he unlocked the chains holding my hands behind my back. He then made sure to untie my ankles. Jake pulled me to a standing position, holding my left arm behind my back, threatening to break it in case I tried something unexpected.
"Tell Burke to take care of him, he knows what to do," London said. She then laid her eyes on me. "You will pay for causing me a reputation."
I stared at her with all the fury in the world in his eyes. "Fucking bitch," I said blowing some of my blonde hair off my eyes.
London frowned and slapped me hard across the right cheek, leaving a huge red mark on my cheek.
"What did you say?" she asked me, with a smile that reminded me of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's Professor Umbridge's.
"Nothing," I said and looked down.
"I thought so," London said. She then looked at Jake and said, "Tell Burke this is a double ration for him today."
Jake smiled as he dragged me across a small door.
There, a huge man with a devil's smile and infernal eyes greeted me. He wore no shoes or socks but he did wear baggy pants and a black leather jacket.
"Lay him over the table," he said.
After Jake tied me to a table that was standing up, he told Burke that London had ordered a double ration for me today.
"Okay then," He said as Jake left the room, "He does not know what you are going through."
I gulped.
So here is chapter seven to all of you. I know this was a sucky chapter but I feel more confident about this one than the previous one. Tell me what you think please (no flames!
