1Zack wiped off any trace of tears and looked over to Cody. He was frightened and looked like he survived a tornado. He looked back with watery eyes, and it made Zack's eyes hurt until another tear ran down his cheek.

Carey walked back to her sons after making sure no one else was in the suite. She looked at the twins for a second before sitting down and felt the need to explain.

"Uh-oh," Cody said and ran towards the bathroom covering his mouth. Zack looked as the door closed and turned to his mother.

"Did you really not believe me when I told you someone was in our home?"

"No, I just didn't want to believe there was a man inside of our suite myself. Honey, are you okay? Did he talk to you or say anything while he held you hostage?"

"No, he held me until the front door opened. He then let go of me and I scurried to the corner. He sat there on the toilet and looked towards his feet." Zack said, really not wanting to talk about it, "he looked at me and half-heartedly smiled. I looked into his eyes and recognized them so much. I knew them as though I looked at them every day of my life, but from where?"

Carey understood why. She smiled towards him and Cody came back from the bathroom. He sat down next to them and they were all silent for around thirty seconds. The lights flickered in the hallway, and turned on. Then the suite's main light came on as well as the bathroom's. cody was relieved and let his shoulders fall back down. Zack smiled towards his brother.

Carey sighed and told Cody what happened while he was sleeping. Cody took it all in and sat silently for a while. Carey asked why they were awake in the middle of thte night and Zack told her they were watching a movie. Carey said she wanted to see it so Zack and Cody cheered up as they explained the plot and scary parts of the movie.

It was past three in the morning and Zack looked questioningly to his mother. Carey nodded no, meaning not to bring up any occurrences from earlier that night. Cody had gone to bed feeling drowsy and nauseous.

Maddie popped through the door and rushed over to Carey. Carey and Zack got up to greet her, but she hugged Carey. Zack felt left out so sat back down. Maddie and Zack's mother sat down as well and Maddie began to talk, "I had a horrible dream that," she stopped.

Carey was nodding to her and Maddie felt so sorry. All of this was her fault. All of this was because she wasn't in time to help her dear friends through this horrible period they were going through. He was after them now and somehow had made it out. A tear ran down he cheek.

Why? Maddie was sitting there barely able to take it all in. Her friends are in danger. Including her friend going after the Martin's. something had to be done. Something.

Only one solution came to mind but that was too drastic. Way too drastic. There must be another solution.

"I know how to lure him in for the police if you'll be willing to tell them the authorities your story and keep me anonymous." she felt bad not telling them the whole truth of the matter.

"If I can think of a way, or if you can, I will." Carey responded sullenly.

"Aaagghhh! This is terrible. Zack, Cody!" she had decided to tell the truth for all to hear. Maybe they can some up with a solution. Zack and Cody had sat down, "Alright, this is the truth of the matter. I am in control of the man that was in your suite during this night. Carey, I'm sorry but I lied to you before because I didn't want to explain this is all my fault. I have so many troubles during my life with so many things, nothing is fair. I keep my composure around everyone in my life but I fall asleep in tears and have nightmares. Nightmares that come true. The intruder's name in Jim Fitzpatrick, my father."

Carey was at a loss of words, and the twins were shocked.

A/N: Another one of my delightfully short chapters to keep the story moving. I haven't updated in a while because I was too caught up traveling to Europe and Japan and California and Boston and back halfway across the globe from where I was. Things are going terribly wrong in my life and if things go wrong the stakes are high. If something goes wrong, I might as well kill myself just to avoid what would happen next, that is how terrible it is. Anyway, I'll try to keep some more info comin' on this story. Bet ya didn't see that coming didja? Jim Fitzpatrick, a surprise indeed.
