Sorry for not updating for so Long it's just my Friend wasn't getting many ideas on how to get the chapter to work. Properly. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

It was 10 PM. The two protectors and the clone were sitting in Miss Silvers' hotel room as they were discussing Leo's disappearance.

They had finished telling her about Zoe's father and how he was a protector, and the whole Wesson problem, not to mention the one where they tried giving away magic but it was unsuccessful.

Gina told them that the magic can't be given away, it's only meant to be shared between three protectors, as long as they do good with it.

"So he just went missing and you don't have a lead?" Miss Silvers asked.

"Not a clue. We cooked the Miso soup, but it only told us about a hotel." Ish said.

"And what makes you think this is the one?" Miss Silvers said with a frown.

"I found this note fly and land onto my face when I was on my way to her house." Zoe said, opening her pocket and handing it to Miss Silvers.

Clone Leo laughed when Zoe said that.
"Not funny, Clone." Zoe said, causing the clone to make one of his innocent, sad faces. After all, he was Leo's clone.

Miss Silvers examined the note.
"But this note could be written by anyone. Why would you-" Gina said but Zoe cut her off.

"I think it's my father's handwriting. Sorry if I was rude." Zoe said, hesitating.

"No, it's okay. I see." Miss Silvers said.
She had been wondering about the fact that magic followed her everywhere. All she really wanted was a peaceful vacation at least once, but at the same time she was happy to help.

"You don't—think that someone from this hotel—could have—kidnaped me, do you?"
Clone Leo asked Miss Silvers.

"From this hotel? No way. Everyone here is too kind to have done such a thing." She replied, frowning.

"Some people might butter you up in order to get closer to you and...you know..." Zoe said.

"You know what?"

"Brainwash you?"

"I've been there, Zoe. But I have a good feeling about these people." Miss Silvers replied.

"Who ARE THESE people, anyways?" Ish asked.

"There's the hotel manager, his name is Edward. Then there's the room service man, Jordan, and my friend Suzan who stays in room 113." She replied.

"And there's nothing fishy about any of them?" Clone Leo asked.

"Not a thing."

"But what if it's someone you don't know? There are a lot of rooms in this hotel." Zoe asked.

"I'm sorry kids, I've been staying here for days and I haven't seen any suspicious activity going on." Miss Silvers replied.

"But then, who could have kidnaped Leo?" Ish asked.

"We don't even know if it's a kidnap, for that matter." Clone Leo said.

"There's someone out there, and they are dangerous." Zoe said.

All of them looked at each other in confusion.

"We need to walk faster, my costume is pinching me." Zoe said as the protectors headed home.

"That is WHY we aren't able to walk." Ish said.
"You guys are a bunch of cry babies. My costume is fine." Clone Leo said.

"That's because you're wearing the knight costume. Plastic metal can't hurt." Ish said.

"Yeah, we're wearing nets, cause we're witches." Zoe said.

"Whatever. We need to get her early tomorrow." He said.

"Just before 8:20, though. We need to get to school by 8:30 and it's at least 10 minutes away." Zoe said.

Leo and Ish nodded in agreement.
