Chapter 1:
Cody Martin walked down his street. Large ominous buildings surrounded him. He was alone. Zack had detention and he was forced to walk home by himself. He felt a strange feeling that someone was following him. He glanced fearfully behind him.
"Zack?" He asked no one.
There's nothing there…nothing.
The strange feeling that someone was following him didn't leave however and he broke out into a run.
He ran down the street and burst through the Tipton doors. In his hurry to get to the elevator he rammed into the table holding the vase. The vase fell and shattered.
"CODY!" Mr. Moseby, a now very angry Moseby, shouted. Cody stopped still in his tracks. Moseby approached him.
"DID YOU JUST BREAK THE VASE?" Cody flinched. He was done for. "THE VERY EXPENSIVE VASE I MIGHT ADD!"
"Yes…" He answered meekly, trying to keep the tears from springing to his eyes.
"WHO DO YOU EXPECT IS GOING TO CLEAN THIS MESS UP?"
"Me."
"THAT'S RIGHT! AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?"
"I…I was running in the lobby."
"CORRECT! AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO RUN IN THE LOBBY?"
"A lot."
"YES! THAT'S RIGHT! AND…"
Cody didn't hear the rest. His mind wandered, but he still heard the yelling. He still heard Moseby screaming.
FLASHBACK
"Mister, I'm lost. I can't find my mom. Can you help me?"
"No."
"Please, Mister! I don't know where I am!"
"I SAID NO, KID!"
"Please, Mister!"
"I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL YOU'RE MOM IS, KID!"
"Please, Mister! I don't know where I am! I'm lost and I'm scared!"
"I DON'T CARE! JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! THIS PLACE AIN'T FOR KIDS!"
"Please Mister! I just want my mom! PLEASE!"
"I DON'T CARE BOUT YOU OR YOUR MOMMY! JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND OUT OF MY LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
END FLASHBACK
"DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE, CODY! THAT VASE…"
"STOP YELLING AT ME!" Cody suddenly screamed. Tears were running down his cheeks. He fell to the ground, rocking back and forth, crying silently.
Moseby, immersed in his shouting, didn't seem to notice. Or if he did, he didn't care. The crowd of people who had gathered were staring from one to the other, but no one was doing anything. The only person who seemed to notice was Maddie, who stood still- her mouth hanging open- horrified.
"Miss! Are you going to ring me up or not?" Maddie turned to a middle aged woman standing at the register.
"Umm yeah…hold on." She edged her way out from behind the counter and pushed her way through the crowd.
"Cody!" She asked him, bending down next to him. "Cody what's wrong?" Cody didn't answer her. Maddie pulled him into her arms.
"Moseby, STOP!" She shouted. Moseby stopped abruptly in his lecture and looked down.
"Oh my…Cody I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"
"It's okay, Moseby. You're right, didn't mean to. " Maddie answered for him. "You have guests to take care of, I'll handle it."
Moseby frowned but thanked her and headed to the front desk.
Maddie looked at the small figure, still crying, in her arms. She rocked him gently, shushing and reassuring him.
"Cody, what's wrong?" Cody didn't answer.
"Cody, what's wrong? You can tell me. I swear."
"Where's Zack?" He asked her timidly, not looking up.
"I…I don't know."
"I want Zack." Cody whispered.
"Okay…but Cody…what's wrong?"
Cody didn't answer.
