Chapter 4: Revival

The beeping in the room slowed down a bit, yet it was the only sound. Dead silence, with the doctors and troops all frozen in movement, mouths wide open, shocked stiff. Then, Cody's eyes opened, he looked around the room, noticing the men all completely stunned, then looking at his heart rate. He then started summing up his fears.

"Was I…Dead?" He asked. One of the doctors slowly nodded his head. His fears were correct. "How long?" The doctor then broke the silence.

"5 hours." He spoke softly. Cody pulled his back up, sitting down in the bed.

"Oh..." He spoke with a semi-silent tone, then suddenly, his platoon then started to celebrate; their leader had looked death in the eye and spat in its face.

"I'll notify the Colonel." One of the doctors spoke and headed out with the remaining doctors.

"So how is death like?" Henry asked his superior.

"Well Private, it's a lot like…" So then Cody explained what he felt on being dead.

Back in Canada.

Gwen put on a pair of pants and a t-shirt after she dried off from her shower. She kind of knew that no one would want her there, but she had to pay every-little-thing of respect. She always knew that she was kind of an ass back on TDWT, and how pretty much everyone was going to hate her, except Bridgette and LeShawna. She put a jacket on, grabbed her car keys and headed out the door.

Returning to Afghanistan.

"Holy hell, Sarge. That's some deep manure!" Henry spoke after hearing Cody's death experience. It had been thirty minutes of explaining, with everyone looking on in total awe.

"Yeah… I…" Cody was interrupted by banging on the door, the doctor brought in Cody's superior officer, Col. Trautman.

"The Colonel wants to see you Sergeant." The doctor spoke. The troops and doctor headed out. Cody stood up and shook his friend's hand.

"How's it been, Sam?" Cody asked his ally.

"Good, Anderson. Good. Anything hurt?" Col. Trautman asked back.

"No, I was just dead tired." Both guys laughed.

"You were always the funny one, Anderson." Trautman complimented. "Let's go to my office, we need to talk."

"Ok."

Back in Canada

Gwen drove through Montreal, heading straight for Cody's apartment. When she got there, the street was blocked off, allowing for a tribute to be held. She noticed everybody there, all of her TD acqaintences, and a boatload of Cody's fan girls, along with family and friends, all filing in to his big apartment room. She followed everyone in. Once inside, there were already decorations, a video tape playing on a loop of pictures of him, with the song "Last Train Home" by Lostprophets playing, as she watched the tape, at the end, it showed Cody singing "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. Then it started playing "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. She started to cry, Gwen could not believe the voice that he had, and all of the things that he did for her that went unnoticed. Then a hand touched her shoulder, she looked up to see LeShawna with Bridgette in tow, who found seats and sat down next to her.

"Let it all out, girl." LeShawna tried to calm Gwen a bit, and soon, she had quit crying, but still looked like an emotional wreck. The three hugged and started to walk around and talk to the others. Gwen started to hear things in the background.

"Word is that they can't send him across yet." This one man said.

"Why not?" Another spoke.

"Because of… somethin'" The first man spoke again.

"There you go again, telling us nothing about something!" The second man grew angry with him.

Gwen stood in Cody's bedroom, which no one had been yet. Suddenly, the door opened, and to Gwen's shock, it was Courtney.

"What do you want?" Gwen spoke angrily, remembering everything that happened.

"I just wanted to…apologize." Courtney said in a calm voice. "I should have known that backstabber was just trying to get his kicks, and because, I was the one that tried to get Cody to forget about you, and honestly, that guy would have died for you." Gwen stood up and hugged Courtney, the 7-year rivalry had been over. Gwen spent some time talking to everyone, from Alejandro to Tyler, even Heather. Soon it was time to head out; by then, she had finally cleared the air with everyone.

Back in Afghanstan.

Cody and Trautman arrived at the base in roughly 30 minutes. They jumped out of the military jeep, and headed inside.

"So why exactly are we here?" Cody asked.

"You'll know." Col. Trautman exclaimed. The two men climbed up the steps and went into the building, they headed left into Col Trautman's office. Inside, they entered a room with a desk and three chairs, with Trautman's chair facing the window. Trautman headed for his chair, and Cody headed for his chair. He then picked up a file, and opened it, he then said out loud"Sergeant Cody E. Anderson, leader of the CAF9 Regiment." He looked at Cody and then said "You gained some good credentials here since I trained you myself." He said proudly

"Thank you, sir."

"So, Anderson, do you know why you're here?"

"No, sir I was hoping you could tell me."

"Well, let's just say, you're getting out of here with honors."

What does Trautman mean? How will Gwen know that Cody is alive and well? Tune in next time! Catch the Rambo reference, and I will give you a cookie! (Not really.)
