Chapter 3:

Stealing

Zack's Point of View:

It's great that Mom and Dad are getting remarried. I only wish that Dad was still close to me. He and I used to do everything together. Well, that was until Cody stole him. Since Dad's been dating Mom, Cody is always doing stuff with him. It's like he stole him. He did steal him. He's out to get me for all the horrible things I've done to him. It's for revenge. I bet you he doesn't love Dad as much as he says. I bet you it's just a ploy to make me jealous. Arg! How dare he do such a thing. Look, there's Cody now.

End of Zack's Point of View

Cody walked in through the front door. He had just come from the rental shop with some new video games.

"Hey, wanna play?" Cody asked Zack as he held up the games he had just rented.

"No!" replied Zack who ran out in a furry.

Cody just shrugged.

Cody's Point of View:

Wonder what got into him. He's been kinda rude lately. Well, ever since Dad started dating Mom. Maybe he doesn't like them being together again. No, it couldn't be that. He was too happy last night. I don't know. I wonder when Mom and Dad will have the wedding. I hope soon. I like weddings. Carrey and Kurt. They sound so nice together. I can't believe they ever split up. Oh well. All that matters is that they are back together now, in happiness. Oh, I'm so excited! Man, what about Zack. What's with him. I can't get it off of my mind. What has him so angry that he's flipping out on me. I hope I didn't do anything. What could I have done? Oh why is he so mad? Oh, I bet you this may have something to do with Max. I saw how she looked at him yesterday. Kind of like a look of madness. Perhaps he thinks that she hates him. Oh dear. I better go and talk to him.

End of Cody's Point of View:

Cody ran out the door and to the elevator. And pressed lobby. Once at the lobby, he spotted Zack, and ran over to him.

"Hey, why are you so upset?" asked Cody.

He had found Zack outside the doors, throwing rocks at the wall.

"No reason" Zack snapped.

"Come on. You can tell me. I'm your brother" pleaded Cody.

"No alright. Just leave me alone" Zack yelled so loud that everyone near stopped and stared at him.

Cody started to put a hand on his shoulder and Zack slapped it off. Then, Zack ran inside and into the elevator. He pressed basement. He needed to be alone. Once he reached the basement, he found an empty walk in closet, went inside, slunk in the corner and began to cry. He tried to hold the tears back, but simply couldn't.

Cody ran inside after him, went to the other elevator, and pressed 23, assuming he had gone up to the suite. But when Cody got to the suite, Zack was no where to be found. He looked everywhere. He then dashed out to the elevator again, this time pressing 22. He would have to search every level. He didn't think the he'd be on any of the upper levels. Once he reached floor 22, he searched everywhere, but still couldn't find him. He dashed to the elevator, and pressed 21. He carried out the same process on every floor until he reached the lobby. He dashed out of the elevator, across the lobby, almost knocking over the very expensive vase, and over to Mr. Moseby's desk.

"Mr. Moseby, you have to help me" said Cody, out of breath.

"What, what is it. What do you need?" asked Mr. Moseby, rather concerned for Cody.

"Have you seen Zack" said Cody worriedly.

"Why no. I'm sorry Cody. I haven't seen him at all." said Moseby.

Cody just sighed. He then ran over to Maddie.

"Maddie, have you seen Zack?" asked Cody in a panic.

"No. Why what happened?" asked Maddie concerned

"No time to explain" said Cody as he dashed for the elevator. Once inside he pressed 23. He had to call Carrey. She had been out shopping. He had to find Zack.
