I'm really enjoying writing this fic, and I'm happy to know you all enjoy reading it. On with chapter 3. I've got some time tonight and everyone is waiting so patiently.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except the characters I make up.

Zack and Cody were staring at each other fearfully when Felix walked into the Lobby.

"Thank you for cutting the power, Felix," the boss said. He still had his gun aimed at London's head, who looked at Moseby, whimpering slightly. Felix glanced around at the few fearful guests that were in the lobby; the guests who were hovering near the front doors. He walked over and placed a chain around the doors, which he then latched closed with a large lock.

"Did you get the others, Felix?" the boss asked, his eyes never leaving Moseby's face.

"Yeah, boss, all except the one by the old furnace. We'll get out that way. Besides, you know that no one knows about that one," Felix said, spitting into a nearby potted plant.

"What do you want, sir?" Moseby asked with a shaky voice. The boss pressed the gun harder against London's head.

"Sir?" the boss asked, laughing loudly. "Never thought I'd hear you call me 'Sir'." He pulled London closer. She let out a small cry.

"Leave her alone!" yelled a voice from behind. The boss let go of London for a second and turned around, aiming his gun at Cody. London ran behind Moseby, who grabbed hold of her. She buried her face in his back, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"I'd keep quiet if I were you, little boy," the boss said, snickering. Cody looked into the barrel of the gun with wide eyes, but held his ground. "She didn't do anything to you! Just take what you want, and leave," Cody said, shaking slightly.

Felix walked up to Cody and put a hand on his gun, which was latched at his side. "The boss told you to SHUT IT!" Felix yelled, bringing back his other hand, as if to slap Cody. Cody flinched, but Zack spoke up, gaining Felix's attention. "He didn't mean it! He's a little slow sometimes!" Zack said, running over to his brothers' side, pinching Cody on the arm and giving him a "shut-the-hell-up look".

"Great, there's two of them. Just my luck," the boss mumbled.

In the elevator...

Carey and Maddie were still pressing the buttons on the elevator and trying the emergency phone, but nothing seemed to be working.

"If I had a crowbar, I could get these doors open," Carey said, pushing on one of the doors.

"I think I can hear voices in the Lobby.." Maddie said, pressing her ear against the door. Carey did the same.

"Leave her alone!

"I'd keep quiet if I were you, little boy,"

She didn't do anything to you! Just take what you want, and leave."

"The boss told you to SHUT IT!"

"He didn't mean it! He's a little slow sometimes!"

Carey gasped. "That's Zack and Cody..BOYS! BOYS, ARE YOU OK!" She yelled as she was banging on the doors. "I need to get to my boys!" She said frantically, beating harder. Maddie stared at her and said "Carey, if they're in any kind of danger, I don't think beating on the doors is going to help..."

Carey looked at Maddie, tears rapidly filling her eyes.

Back in the Lobby...

Moseby looked at the twins. He had to get the boss's attention back on himself and away from the boys. "Excuse me, but why is it strange that I called you 'Sir'?" he said, hoping that would regain the boss's attention. The boss looked at Moseby and smiled, aiming his gun in Moseby's face, as Felix sat down on the chair opposite the boys, his gun trained on them. "Great, that didn't work," Moseby thought to himself.

"You really don't recognize me, do you?" the boss asked, tilting his head to the side. "Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. I know it's here, Moseby, and I want it. You and that wretched girl know where it is, and I want it NOW! We need to do this quickly, dammit!" He yelled as he bloodshot eyes grew wider.

"Sir, I don't know what.." Moseby said, fear filling his voice, as the boss slapped him across the face. The hotel guests, crouched on the floor by the door, let out small whimpers.

"Don't play dumb with me, Moseby! You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!" the boss spat. "Either you get it for me, or I shoot these two sweet boys in the head!" He screamed, pointing his gun at Cody, while Felix pointed his at Zack. The twins breathing began to quicken as they grabbed onto each other.

In the elevator...

"Please don't hurt my boys! Please!" Carey pleaded, tears streaming down her face as she barely beat on the doors. She was too exhausted from crying to beat any harder. Maddie knelt down and wrapped her arms around Carey, holding back her own tears. "It will be ok," she said, as Carey cried onto her shoulder.

Back in the Lobby...

"I'll show you where it is!"

The boss turned back to where Moseby was standing. London had walked out from behind Moseby and wiped the tears from her face. "Just don't shoot the twins," She said weakly. Moseby hung his head and put his hand on London's shoulder.

"Now, see? That's what I call cooperation." the boss said as he smiled wide.

I know it's not exactly long, but I like to leave cliffhangers. And I read and reread, and I think I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I know there is a lot of back and forth between the elevator and the lobby, but I want it to be that way. So you know what everyone is going through. I wanted Carey and Maddie to be able to hear what was going on in the Lobby, I thought it would add a little extra drama. And I know how we all love drama ;) Hope you all enjoyed chapter 3, and review..like it? Don't like it? Can I improve anything? Anyone confused? Let me know!
