Cody was starting to feel suspicious; Zack and Maddie had been gone a little too long. He checked out the hallway and then out the window. He saw what looked like Zack and Maddie with four other guys in suits. He wasn't sure but they looked like them. He decided to run downstairs and check it out.

He ran outside the Tipton and saw Zack and Maddie inside a car being driven away. He almost thought it wasn't anything he needed to worry about, but then he saw Zack turn to some big dude and say something and chuckle, and then get slapped over the back of the head.

He decided to follow them. He got in his car and drove towards where they were heading. He called London and told her he was going out to the Public Library to see if it had anything new there. He then proceeded to drive after the car.

Zack and Maddie got out of the car with the rest of the people not noticing the car trailing about half a mile away.

"Alright, so guys, really what is this about?" Zack asked seriously.

"Well, last time I saw you, you were quite amusing, but that sounded quite serious." The Prince stepped out of a door to a warehouse.

"DAD! I didn't know you were here." Zack then looked at him a little sad like. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Oh there he is. Well son, you see I don't quite approve of you dating this nice girl, she just doesn't quite seem like the person, that's all."

"But dad, what do you mean?" Zack sort of chuckled while still being serious at the same time. He wasn't planning on losing Maddie again.

"Well, I guess if all you're going to do is argue, then I am going to give you two choices. She can come with me, or you can come with me. Or then again I could just kill you both." The prince laughed at that. Zack and Maddie both had looks of terror on their faces.

"Wait I think we come to some sort of an agreement. But first, dadio, I think you're going a bit too far with this. You see, I love this woman and I would give everything in the world if I had to, for her. There is no way I will let her leave me. Now if there is something else I could give you that could make up for one of us, then maybe I can try to get it to you. I just don't want to take any chances with anything." Zack was boiling with anger by now.

"Well there is something I could use." The prince looked at Zack with the, I wonder if he could get this for me kind of look. "Could you get me a diamond, not just any ordinary diamond, but one named Sheryl."

"Sheryl? What are you talking about?"

"I will keep Maddie here until you bring me Sheryl. I believe you have a friend who is rather rich. She has a diamond I want. Get it."

"How am I going to do that, she didn't give it up when her dad was held for ransom, how am I going to get for you."

"If you really love this woman, then you will get it."

Off in a distance, Cody was watching the whole thing. He then saw them grab Maddie and her try to resist, Zack was trying to stop them himself but he was punched in the face and fell on the ground and pinned down.

Cody got out of his car running after these people. He was rather quiet in doing it to, no one heard him. He reached them punching the first one in the face enough to make him fall down unconscious. Another one took a swing at him but he blocked it and swung right under the arm he blocked and got the guy in the gut. Then did a roundhouse kick to his face making him fall to the ground to.

Zack looked up at him doing this. "Where did you learn to fight?"

"I watched Chuck Norris." Then the other two guards came over to him at the same time. The Prince was just standing there holding Maddie's arm.

"So which one goes first?" there was a Chinese guy and the really big one who he saw hit Zack. They both ran after him at the same time and tried to swing at him from both sides. Zack by now was standing up and tripped the big guy without him noticing he was even there. The big guy fell into a puddle on the ground and Zack burst with laughter being silenced from the Chinese guy who went karate on him. Zack was on the ground again within seconds. Cody however put his fists up and walked slowly over to him. They both looked at each other before Cody made the first move.

Cody swung at the guy in the chest but he easily deflected it. He took another shot but this time after it was deflected again the Chinese guy started punching Cody in the stomach over and over again and then two quick blows to the head. Cody didn't even see this coming.

When he realized that his original plan of action wasn't going to work he then stood up straight put his hands together and bowed at the Chinese guy, who then looked at him weird. Cody then started doing some strange looking Chinese dance. He was all over the place with his arms and jumping up and down and looking all foolish. The Chinese guy looked at him and laughed.

"You funny, ha ha ha, you good but you don't do it right. Here is how you do it." Cody was only about three feet from the guy. He bowed at Cody, looking at the ground and just stood there like that for about five seconds. Cody then jumped up into the air kicking the guy in the head. He landed on the ground and watched the Chinese guy fly backwards. Cody smiled but then saw the Prince holding Maddie.

"Alright, now please, I don't want any more trouble. Can we have Maddie back?"

The Prince clapped his hands. "Bravo, bravo. That was quite the show. You must be Zack's twin. You to must be funny then I would guess from that dance you just did."

"Listen I just want my brothers girlfriend back." Cody was staring at him worryingly and out of breath.

"You see, that's just it. I don't want to give her back. I like her, she is very beautiful, and I want her. So if you want her, then bring me back Sheryl."

"I can't, so you are just going to give me back my brothers GIRLFRIEND!" Cody was yelling at him now.

"Ok, if we have to do this the hard way, then ok." The Prince clapped his hands three times and then whistled. Just then, about ten or twelve people came out of the warehouse. All of them could easily take Cody on so he decided to back down.

"Alright, alright. I'll try to get you the diamond but it wont be easy."

Cody picked his brother up and took him to the car. Zack looked back at Maddie with a terribly worried face. Maddie mouthed the words "I love you" and Zack mouthed them back. They both were crying a lot. Cody took Zack who started to walk back over to Maddie who was being dragged in.

"Listen man, you go in there, you both will probably die. I will not let that happen. I am going to make London give the diamond, I don't care what she says, we will get Maddie back." Cody was angry, he too wanted to go back there and handle everything.

"Alright, I will be alright. But you will promise me, we will get her back right." Zack was still crying.

"Yes, we will get her back. And don't worry, besides, with my Chuck Norris fighting skills, we can do it. I just cant wait to get a hold of that Prince idiot."

Cody drove back to the Tipton with Zack, who was still crying, and Maddie was stuck in the warehouse.

Alright, I am sorry it took long for me to get this out, I have big tests to study for and one of my classes I am already working on the final exam. Anyway Maddie is stuck with the Prince, Cody is going to try to get the diamond, Zack is going into a nervous breakdown, and none is sure about what will happen next. This is getting intense, but it is going to be a great story.
