Shattered Pieces of The Tipton

Chapter six

Zack was lying on the couch. Maddie had fallen asleep in his bed so he slept on the couch. It was 2:00 in the afternoon but Zack hadn't slept a wink the night before so he was catching up on the sleep that afternoon. Suddenly, he was awoken by a frantic knock on the door. Zack stood up and opened the door.

"Hi, Mr. Moseby. What's wrong?" Zack asked when he saw the worried look on the man's face.

"Zack, I need you to come with me right now. Cody's in trouble!" Mr. Moseby exclaimed. Zack's face was lined with worry and he hurried to get Maddie. She followed him out of the suite and the three of them headed out of the hotel.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Where exactly is my brother?" Zack asked Moseby as they rode in a taxi.

"I just received a call from the hospital." Mr. Moseby replied, expressionless. Zack was really worried now. First Maddie, now Cody? What could happen next?

When they arrived at the hospital, Zack jumped out of the car and Maddie followed him. "Zack, slow down!" She called. Zack didn't pay attention. He had to find his brother.

Zack rushed up to the information desk. "I'm looking for my brother, Cody Martin." He said very hurriedly. The receptionist nodded and pointed to a doctor.

"He'll help you." She said. Zack ran over to the doctor.

"I'm looking for my brother. His name is Cody Martin." Zack said again. Maddie was now rushing into the hospital but she was looking around wearily. She really didn't want to be in a hospital.

"Of course. Do you have an adult with you?" The doctor said. Maddie walked up to them and Moseby came in right after her. The doctor looked at Mr. Moseby and nodded. He then motioned for the trio to follow him and they did.

"What exactly is wrong with Cody?" Maddie asked, her voice was quiet and shaky.

"Well, nothing really. He came to us saying his head hurt and when we asked for his number, he told us to call the Tipton and talk to the manager. He can leave with you now." The doctor explained. Zack sighed with relief but suddenly felt very guilty. Cody had been missing for a few days now and Zack just hadn't paid attention to it. He had been too worried about Maddie to even care about his brother.

"He's in here." The doctor said, shaking Zack away from his thoughts. But, when the doctor opened the door to the room, Cody wasn't there.

"Um, where is he?" Maddie asked.

"He was right here a minute ago!" The doctor exclaimed. He asked a nurse and she said that she had seen him leave shortly before the doctor had arrived. Zack was shocked. They had just let Cody walk out of there! Suddenly, Zack noticed something. There was a note lying on the bed. He picked it up and read it:

Zack, I am sorry if I scared you. I'm fine, really. I just had to leave. Don't worry I'll come back soon, I promise. Take care and I'll see you later.

Love, your brother Cody.

Zack stared at the note that Cody had left. What did he mean?

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

There's chapter six. I know it's really short but it's one o'clock in the morning and that was all that I could come up with right now. Everyone was wondering about Cody so there you go, Cody has been added to the story! Anyway, let me know what you thought. It was short and probably stunk but I will make up for it in the next chapter. Well, time for you to click that little button in the corner and make me smile!
