Chapter 14:
Kurt lazily hopped in a taxi, and told the driver where he wished to go. He was
headed home. After two long days of working with the police, he was finally heading home. He leaned back into the seat and sighed. His eyes were droopy, and he could barely move. He needed some energy desperately. Energy and sleep.
He wondered how Carrey was doing at home with cleaning the suite. He hoped the boys were helping her. If not both, at least one of them. He figured Zack wouldn't. Just Cody.
Suddenly, the taxi pulled up the Tipton, and Kurt payed the driver and got out. He walked in the hotel, and without stopping to say hello to anyone, headed straight for the elevator. Just as someone was about to walk in, he hit the "close door" button, and leaned back against the wall as the doors automatically shut. He wanted to be alone. And besides. There were two elevators. He hit the button for their floor, and sighed. He was just too tired. As he reached the floor where they lived, he pulled out a key ring from his pocket. He selected a golden key, and jammed it into the suite door. He heard the click, and he turned the knob and went in. He was amazed to see 4 people hard at work in the suite. Carrey, Estebon, Maddie and Cody. He figured it would just be Carrey and Cody. Carrey got up from where she was, and wrapped her arm around Kurt. Maddie waved, Estebon did too. Cody just nodded to his dad, and went back to work. Maddie and Estebon began working again as Carrey began to ask her husband questions about just what was going on. She figured she would tell him her real name tonight. She wasn't going to tell him about Bonnie. That would be just too much.
Kurt explained that the family was to be on watch now. Extra security cameras would be installed in the hotel hall in front of their door. Kurt wasn't to leave the house. Carrey, Zack, and Cody were allowed to leave, but only when necessary. The Tipton would be under constant watch. Kurt pulled out four little button like gadgets out of his pocket. If they were ever in danger, they were to press the button. That would warn the policeman outside and they could come rushing in. There were a few policeman who were also staying on the same floor. They were to keep the "beepers" with them at all times. Their mail was disconnected, and had to be picked up at the post office. The police would pick it up, just to make sure there was nothing from the mysterious man in their mail. This was all to go on until further notice. They had explained to Kurt that it was necessary for his and his family's protection. They said that if it happened again, that the family would be put in the witness protection program.
Carrey just sat back in the chair, her mouth wide open with shock and terror. Life was going to be very different from now on.
