Chp 25 Will The Real Ed Please Stand Up?
Zack had tried running as fast as he could back to the music room but his ankle was hurting and Moseby and Woody had caught up to him as he took a break, leaning against a wall.
"Wait here, we will go." Moseby said.
"No. I have to go." Zack said.
"That ankle is getting worse, you will be no good to us or Cody." Moseby replied.
"No! I am going to get my brother back. These ghosts have outstayed their welcome and Adam needs a good beat down." Zack said.
"Remember, Adam isn't in control of what he is doing, just like Bailey isn't when Chance is inside her." Addison said.
"Is Chance with you now Bailey?" Zack asked looking at her.
"No, she has gone somewhere." Bailey replied.
"Probably off to go back on her word to us." Zack said.
"She is a ghost, you really think you can trust her?" Woody said.
"No, but she is our only hope." Bailey said. "She is the only one who can get through to David and get him to leave Adam's body."
"Doesn't mean we can't try as well." Zack said. He hobbled down the hallway and found the door to the music room. He reached for the handle but Moseby put his hand on Zack's outstretched hand. "What?"
"We need to be sure he is in there and then figure out how we are going to get him back without hurting him."
"He is in there." Said a voice as a figure floated through the air beside them.
"Geez, couldn't you warn us when you appear." Woody said.
"How do you know?" Zack asked. "You could be tricking us."
"I am not tricking you. I have been in this place for too long. Its time for me to leave. I want to help you get your brother back, I want to go. I followed David and your brother. David is ready to kill him."
"Then why haven't you stopped him rather then sit and watch." Zack said.
"Your brother nearly got through to him but he freaked." Chance said.
"Get in there, talk to him." Bailey said.
"Please Chance." Zack pleaded. Chance nodded and glided through the door.
"Okay, now how to WE get through the door." London wondered.
"Maybe we can help." A voice said from behind them.
The group whirled around and were shocked to see Miss Tuttweiler and an old gentleman.
"Emma." Moseby said.
"Thank god we found you. Is everyone okay?" Emma asked.
"No, Zack needs medical attention and Cody is being held in there by a ghost." Moseby said.
"A ghost?" Emma asked.
"Long story." Moseby said.
"Oh, this is Arthur the gardener and handyman. I managed to get hold of him when I couldn't get any answer from the phones here." Emma said.
"Now everyone has been greeted, can we get in there and save Cody please." Zack asked.
"Oh then you will need these." Arthur said. He pulled some keys from his pocket and went to the lock. Inside the room Adam was stood over Cody who was coughing away the pain from the kick. Adam had the gun pointed at Cody who was trying to cover his face. No one saw the spirit of Chance enter the room.
"David, stop it." She said. Adam looked up.
"Chance, you came back." He said.
"I had to. We need to finish this." She said. Adam looked back to Cody.
"I am, for both of us." He said.
"That's not the way. I have been angry for so long, and so have you. Its time to forget it all and move on." She said. Adam looked around as he heard a key in the lock of the door. The door opened and the others rushed in. Adam panicked and pulled Cody up off the floor. He brought his arm around the young mans neck and put the gun against his head.
"Wait!" Zack yelled.
"Let Chance handle this." Bailey said.
"It's time to forgive and forget. I was angry at Ed for killing me, but now I know it was you, I am not angry anymore. I know you didn't mean it." She said.
"But he..........he killed me. He was horrible to you that night. He made me do it. I wanted to kill him but it was you............he made me do it and I hate him for it."
"Hate Ed, not Cody." Chance said.
"But he............." Adam said.
"He isn't Ed. Let him go." Chance said. Cody was looking at Zack, fear in his eyes. Zack was trying to reassure him with his eyes but both boys were afraid. Cody winced as Adam pushed the gun a bit closer.
"He needs to pay........I have waited so long for Ed to return."
"That's not Ed. I am." The old man said.
