Chp24 Cody Martin aka James Bond.

Woody helped Mr Moseby to stand while London and Addison rushed to Zack. Bailey looked to the group as she felt the spirit of Chance once again leave her.

"Guys?" She asked.

"No time, we got to follow." Zack said grabbing her hand and running after Adam and Cody. In front of them Cody was trying to pry Adam's hand from his wrist as he was being dragged along.

"Let go of me." Cody said. He pulled on Adam's fingers but Adam held on tight.

"You are not going to get away with this Ed. Not anymore." Adam said.

"Please don't! I am Cody." Cody pleaded. But Adam carried on dragging him through the halls. He could here the calls of Zack and the others behind them but Adam was ignoring them. Cody recognised the halls they were passing through and the door Adam had arrived at. He pushed Cody through the door and into the music room. He threw Cody to the floor. The events of the night had taken its toll and Cody and he was aching all over. He laid on the floor trying to muster the energy to get up. Adam locked the door and listened to the sounds in the corridor. He could hear the footsteps of the others as they ran through the halls on their desperate search for the boy. He knew they would hear the boy if he called out. Adam could hear the voices as they got closer. He looked over to Cody who was getting up. Adam ran to him and dragged him over to the corner of the room. Adam placed his hand over Cody's mouth again and held onto his arm.

"Not a word." He whispered. Cody tried to prise the hand off his mouth but Adam was strong. Cody could hear the voices in the distance. It was Zack. He tried to scream but the sound was muffled. The two stood in silence as the voices past them by. The got quieter and Adam listened to them fade into the distance. When he was sure they were gone, he let go of Cody. Cody took that as his chance. He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Zack!!" He yelled. Adam swiped his hand across Cody's cheek and he fell to the floor.

"I said not a word."

The gang were beginning to get worried. They had lost the trail of Adam and Cody. The group were tired and out of breathe. Zack rested against a wall and rubbed his ankle. The others stopped to take a break.

"Does it hurt?" Moseby asked.

"Like hell." Zack replied. "But nothing compared to this pain in my heart."

"We will find him, we found him once, we will do it again." Moseby said.

"Where? If you haven't noticed, this castle is huge and Adam knows it better then us." Zack said.

"Addison, you still got that diary?" Moseby asked. Addison had held onto the diary they had got from the display case. The group gathered around her.

"If we had gotten this earlier, we would have learnt so much. She writes about the affair, all the times she was with David. Probably why it is locked up in that cabinet at an innocent page. No one wanted to show the truth."

"But surely if she wrote it in there, her family would have known about the affair and might have figured someone killed her and David." Woody asked.

"Adam said this was recently given to them. Someone must have taken this when the family moved out. No one would have really known." Addison said.

"Maybe Ed took it with him to stop people learning about Chance and David." London said.

"Who cares? That doesn't help us find Cody." Zack said.

"Maybe it will. Adam, I mean David, took Cody to the basement. Where he died and they hid Chance's body. What if he has taken Cody to another place that is important to him and Chance." Addison suggested.

"Like where?" Zack said.

"She writes about a lot. A meeting at a bench outside, a time in the outhouse, a dance at a party. Wait......." Addison said.

"Waiting." London replied.

"What?" Zack asked.

"This section is about how she first discovered feelings for David. She was practising her flute in the music room and David heard her and came in and complimented her. She said he was sweet and kind. And for the first time she was seeing a different side to him. And then I remember reading a page...........here. The second from last page. She writes that she arranged to meet David in the music room to tell him of the baby. Its dated the night of the murder." Addison said.

"So she had told David of the baby before her murder." Moseby said.

"We don't know if she actually did, she might not have gotten the chance." Bailey said. The group looked at Bailey.

"Bailey, you back with us?" London asked.

"I think.

"Okay, once again who cares. The music room is back there, let's head there." Zack said.

"Wait. David is obviously really mad at Ed for everything, we need to find a way of convincing him to let it go." Bailey said.

"We have been trying, what else do you expect us to do?" Zack asked.

"They both need to move on." Bailey said.

"You would have thought they might have moved on after learning that it was David that killed Chance and Ed that killed David. What more could they be holding on for?" Zack asked.

Cody had stayed on the floor looking at Adam who had sat near him, leant against a wall, his head buried in his hands. Cody put a hand to his stinging cheek making sure he wasn't bleeding. But he noticed cuts over his hands and arm and had no idea where they had come from.

"Why did you do it?" Adam spoke. Cody looked at him and Adam raised his head. "Why?"

"David, listen to me............this is not what you think." Cody said. "You are dead, Chance is dead. You are ghosts. You need to move on. Leave Adam's body."

"You always had an active imagination."

"I am not Ed!!" Cody yelled getting angry. "Look at me and look at yourself. If we are meant to be brothers.....twins, we should look alike." Cody pointed to a mirror in the corner. "Look." To Cody's surprise Adam got up and walked over to the mirror. He glared at the reflection and then back to Cody. He looked back at his own reflection and began touching his face, trying to figure out what was going on.

"What is this? I don't understand." Adam said. Cody got up and walked up beside him.

"If I am Ed, we should be identical. I am not. That blond boy downstairs is my brother. I am not your brother." He said. Adam turned and looked at him. Cody knew he was getting through to him, he just needed to work harder. "This is 2009. What happened to you and Chance happened many years ago. Me and my friends were staying here to hide from the weather. We have nothing to do with this." Adam brought his hand up to Cody's face. Cody flinched as he thought Adam would strike him again. But Adam felt Cody's cheek and features. He was getting through to him.

"Ed?" Adam asked.

"No, I am Cody."

"No, no no NO!!!!" Adam started to yell. He pushed Cody down and threw his gun at the mirror. It shattered and Cody covered himself as the shards flew above him.

"Why are you doing this to me? Isn't ruining our lives enough for you?" He yelled at Cody.

"I didn't ruin your life. It was all Ed. You are mad at him and if I knew where he was I would get him here and make him answer to what he has done."

"You don't deserve to live. Chance is dead, I am dead yet you live." Adam looked to the gun that had landed on the floor amongst the broken mirror pieces. Cody was close to it. He noticed that Adam was looking at it. Adam rushed for it at the same time as Cody who had channelled his inner James Bond and had rolled over hoping to get to it. But Adam had gotten there first. He picked up the gun and kicked Cody in the chest. Cody doubled over in pain as he laid wriggling on the floor.
