Chapter Two

"You again" the woman muttered under her breath. "Don't be afraid, boys. I'm not here to hurt anyone."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Cody managed to say.

"Nothing. Trust me; I am not here to hurt anyone."

"Yeah, we'll trust you. After you tied up our friend chef Paolo and cut him with a knife… and bled on him… who are you? If you're not here to hurt anyone, what are you doing?" Slowly, Zack and Cody were backing away. The woman raised her arm, away from chef Paolo, and walked towards the twins. "Ah, you two are twins. Which will make this twice as nice," she held up the silver, shiny dagger.

"Ahhhh!!!!" Zack and Cody yelled in unison. Without hesitation, they turned around and started running away. They were in the hallway, when Mr. Moseby appeared on the horizon. They collided into him, as usual.

"I thought I have mentioned to you already twenty-two hundred times today, NO RUNNING OR SHOUTING IN THE HOTEL!" he said sternly.

"Mr. Moseby," Zack gasped for air, "A woman… crazy… chef Paolo… blood…" Cody continued, "Yellow eyes… chasing us… HELP!"

"What?" Mr. Moseby rolled his eyes at the nonsense they were saying, "is this another one of your jokes?"

"No! It's not a joke!" Zack assured him.

The woman, the knife no longer in her hand, came into the hallway, and waited for an elevator. "M'am, the guests are supposed to use the elevators in the lobby," Mr. Moseby told her.

Cody and Zack instantly turned around and saw her. "There! That's her!" yelled Cody and pointed at the woman.

"Oh, I see you kids told him about how that vase crashed into me," she said with an unreadable expression on her face.

"WHAT?" furiously shouted Mr. Moseby.

"I don't know what she's talking about," Zack said, "But that woman cut chef Paolo's arm and her own arm and she put her blood on chef Paolo!"

"M'am, did these children hurt you?" Mr. Moseby managed to say in between Zack and Cody's strange stories.

The woman was about to reply, but Cody shouted, "Mr. Moseby, if you don't believe us, look at her arm! There's a cut there."

The woman frowned, "I sort of made an agreement with Zack and Cody that I won't tell you what happened, but…"

"How do you know our names?" Zack interrupted.

The woman ignored him and continued, "But as I was going into the ladies room in the restaurant, a vase came flying at me and cut my arm. After the pain wasn't as bad, I found out it was these two, playing some sort of game.

"Oh my," Mr. Moseby's face turned pale, as though he was about to faint, and then grew bright red with anger, "You two are in more trouble than you could ever know! Surely, everybody here has had enough of you, so as soon as your mother comes back, you are OUT of my hotel!"

"She's lying!" Zack yelled.

Cody turned to the woman, "Can anybody prove that we threw a vase at you? Did anyone see?"

"Well, as everyone knows, the washrooms are not seen from the restaurant, or the hallway, or the kitchen, unless somebody is heading in that direction. The ladies' room was empty at the time, as I remember, so no, nobody seen it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen," the woman said coldly.

"You could say the same about our version!" Zack argued.

"Enough! No arguing with the guests! You two will go up to your suite immediately, and you will stay in there until your mother arrives tomorrow and then you will get out of my hotel, understand?!" Mr. Moseby yelled.

"But we – "

"No buts!" Mr. Moseby looked as though he was about to eat them, "And somebody will stay at your door at all times and make sure you don't leave. Now, GO!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Zack and Cody were in their suite, feeling scared and miserable. Then a knock came from the door. "Who is it?" Zack asked.

"It's Esteban! I am here to baby-sit you little blond peoples," was Esteban's reply.

Cody went over and opened the door. "Esteban, what do you know about people with yellow eyes?"

"Yellow eyes? Ooh, that's not good. In my country, if someone has yellow eyes, it is believed they are a witch."

"That makes sense!" exclaimed Cody, "that woman was a witch and she was casting a spell on chef Paolo!"

Zack replied cheerily, "Yeah! That makes perfect sense!" then his voice changed from cheery to sarcastic, "Only one thing: there's no such thing as witches!"

"Of course there is!" Esteban sounded offended. Then he remembered why he was here, "Why are you talking about witches? You should be thinking about what you did! Throwing vases at guests! That is awful!"

"We did throw a vase at her!" yelled Zack.

"Then it just happened to carefully fly out of your hands and directly at that woman?" Esteban entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"No! There was never a vase!" Cody said.

"So the woman made the whole thing up?" Esteban asked.

"Yes! That's what we've been trying to tell you and Mr. Moseby!" said Zack.

"And I am supposed to believe you, after you lie to me every day?"

"We didn't throw any vases at that woman, and that is the truth!" insisted Zack, "And if she has a cut on her arm to prove that, we can tell you what really happened."

"No. I don't buy it," Esteban answered.

"Come on Esteban, you have to…" Cody's voice trailed of as he noticed something strange, "Esteban, how did you get that cut on your arm?"

"I… tripped over glass…" it was obvious that Esteban was lying.

"Did that woman do what she did to chef Paolo to you?" Cody and Zack slowly and unintentionally backed away from Esteban.

"No. No! Of course not!" Esteban assured them. Something shiny sticking out from Esteban's pocket caught Zack's eye. Something shiny and pointy…

"A-are you s-sure?" Zack stammered as he began to realize what the shiny, pointy thing was.

"Yes. That woman didn't make blood contact with me," this time Esteban sounded positive, like he was telling the truth. After a short pause, he said, "But chef

Paolo did!" He reached into his pocket and grabbed the knife. Zack and Cody screamed and ran from Esteban. He ran after them. Esteban reached out and grabbed Cody from behind. He raised the knife and quickly slit Cody's arm.

To be continued…
