Chapter 2: Somebody will believe

Everyone was devastated when they heard of Arwin's disappearance, even the strange new hotel guest that just checked into room 456 on the 14th floor. So that morning Zack and Cody went to the park. Cody had planned to tell him what the man had said the night Arwin went missing.

"Hey you know the guy that gave us 5 bucks?" Cody asked causally.

"Yah." Zack replied.

"Well I think he kidnapped Arwin." Cody said trying to act serious.

"What makes you think that?" Zack asked

"Well last night he said that he was the guy watching the security cameras." Cody said hoping that Zack would believe him.

"Well maybe he was taking Arwin's place he is the janitor you know." Zack said

"Why don't we go ask him?" Cody requested.

"Because it's insane." Zack replied

"Why" Cody inquired.

"Because you can't just go up to someone and ask if they're a kidnapper." Zack said as if Cody was a moron.

"Watch me" Cody said running to the hotel

When they got there Cody quickly spotted the man and ran up to him.

"So how are you doing?" Cody said casually.

"Good." He replied dryly

"Well it sure is a tragedy that Arwin's missing." Cody said still as casually as he could.

"Yah if he was here I wouldn't have to work a full shift." He said then walked away.

Cody returned to Zack and told him what happened.

"See why would he want to work a full shift?" Zack asked Cody.

"To earn more money?" Cody asked even though he knew he was wrong.

"Is that worth kidnapping somebody?" Zack asked with a grin.

"No." Cody said now totally defeated.

Then they went to their suite for dinner.

" I have an announcement." Carry announced.

"What is it mommy" Cody said in a baby like voice.

"Well I have a date tomorrow with a really sweet guy." She said twirling her hair.

"Who is it?" Zack asked with a mouthful of spaghetti in his mouth.

"Well he watches over the security cameras and his name is John Roberts." Carry said with a lovesick gaze on her face.

"No!" Cody screamed running out of the suite.

He also ran out of the hotel, staying out there for a couple hours and when he came in it was about midnight. He went into the elevator pressed the button labeled…14. He couldn't resist he wanted to prove that Mr. Roberts was a bad man. When he got there he went to room 456 but all he could hear were screams lots of dreadful high-pitched screams. His head was racing with thoughts but the main one in his mind was that nobody would believe him. Why would anyone believe him?

That morning he was thinking of who could possibly believe him hhhhmmmmm Mr. Moseby would never believe me in my dreams, mom is too much in love, Zack already doesn't believe me, London won't even care, and Maddie will just want proof. But I have proof. So after eating breakfast he ran down to the candy counter to talk to Maddie.

"Hey." She said when Cody came into the lobby.

"Hey." Cody said

"So what's up?" Maddie asked. She sounded depressed.

"Do you know that new guy that just checked in?" Cody asked anxiously.

"Yah." Maddie said

"Well I think he's a kidnapper." Cody said gravely.

"How so?" Maddie questioned

"Because last night I heard multiple screams from his room." Cody said hoping she would believe him.

"Well my mom works for the company that makes the security cameras." Maddie said breathing deeply.

"So." Cody said not getting why Maddie was being so dramatic.

"Well she went into his suite last night to talk about the cameras and was reported missing this morning." Maddie said grimly. They stared at each other for a few seconds then Cody sprinted out of the hotel.

So, Cody went to a store and got a bunch of equipment. After that he ran to his suite to tell Zack what he heard. When he got there he put his equipment on the table and jumped on the couch where Zack was sitting. After he told him he crossed his fingers hoping Zack would believe him. Then zack said: "Well I say we check out the basement and find out if this guy is truly 'bad'." Just then the doorbell rang and Carry ran to the door and said, "That must be John."

"So why do you now believe me?" Cody asked with suspicion.

"Oh I still don't, I just want to spend time with Maddie." Zack said putting on heaps of cologne.

Just then Carry opened the door.
