Disappearing Act Chapter 9
"Gabriella?" Chad asked. She shook her head and looked at them.
"Did you guys see him?" she asked still starring at the place where he disappeared.
"Who?" Taylor asked.
"There was that man standing there." Gabriella explained. "I saw him when he first arrived and right when Sharpay disappeared."
"What did he look like?" Ryan asked.
"Um, he had a suit on, and a top hat kind of like a magician, but It wasn't Hernandez." said Gabriella. "He almost seems like a ghost."
"Do you think he had something to do with all of this?" Chad asked not sure about this strange man.
"I guess he could have." said Gabriella. "He first showed up when we arrived, but he was out in the court yard right when Sharpay disappeared."
"This is all really confusing." said Chad.
"You would think we wouldn't be the only ones to realize that people are disappearing." said Taylor.
"Nobody els pays that much attention." said Ryan. "This is supposed to be a fun vacation."
"What are we going to do?" Kelsi asked. "We can't just sit around here and do nothing as one by one we all disappear."
"We have an idea." said Gabriella. She explained the strange figure they had been seeing and Hernandez's old bedroom.
"You guys stole the key from his bedroom?" Taylor asked. "And you got caught?"
"Yeah, but he really isn't the smartest man in the world." said Chad. "He's kind of high on himself."
"So how are you going to find the bedroom again?" Kelsi asked.
"Well, the shadow kept leading us in the right direction." said Ryan. "I would imagine it would show up again to lead us right back where we need to go."
"When exactly do you intend to do that?" Taylor.
"In the morning." said Chad.
"What if one of us is missing in the morning?" Kelsi asked. "People can disappear in front of your eyes."
"Thats true." said Chad.
"We could go right now." said Ryan. "But I think Hernandez is a little suspicious about what we have been doing around here."
"Why don't the three of you go, and we will try to keep Hernandez distracted down here." said Taylor.
"How do you intend to do that?" Chad asked.
"Its really not that hard." said Kelsi. "Just telling him you want to see a magic trick can keep him distracted for an hour."
"So I guess we better be on our way then." said Gabriella standing up.
"We will see you guys when we get back." said Ryan.
"As long as Hernandez doesn't make us disappear." said Taylor they all looked at her. "Kidding!"
