Chapter One-Us Cody's POV
Hi. My name is Cody Martin. I am 29 years and 13 months old. After 4 years of college (B.S.), 3 years of Med. School, 2 years of internship and finally, 2 years of residency, I am now a board certified Pediatrician licensed to practice medicine in the state of Massachuesetts.
I have a twin brother, Zack, who is 30 years and one month old. As he was born 15 minutes before me, he is my older brother, and he doesn't hesitate to remind me of this at every opportunity. What is my brother doing? Three to five as a guest of the state, but he's due to be released on parole this week.
Just kidding.
When we were little, I was always saying that I would need a lot of money so that I could bail him out of jail. Don't get me wrong. Zack never did have an evil bone in his body, but boy could he get into trouble with his harebrained schemes and practical jokes (which I was usually the butt of.) But he's always been a great guy, a good older brother and my best friend. As my "older" brother, he felt that he had to protect me, and, well, he did.
As a child, I was what you could call "sensitive." Which means that I was afraid of my own shadow. If we watched a scary movie, I would be subject to nightmares and would wake up diapheretic and screaming in a state of hysteria.
Wow, did I say that? It makes me sound like a doctor. :-)
Anyway, Zack would come to me, get into bed with me and hold me in his arms until I was asleep. I knew that as long as I had Zack's arms around me, I would always be safe.
Zack studied pre-law in college, and went to Harvard Law School. Full scholarship. More than that, he was on the Dean's List both in college and Law school. We were amazed that he was accepted, given his record in school. We couldn't explain this, but were grateful for the opportunity he got.
After law school, Zack accepted a position as a deputy district attorney with the City of Boston and quickly distinguished himself in that position.
So now you know who we are and a little of our background...
