I own nothing from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody
"Zack, It's time to go" Carey said to her son. Since seeing Cody's dead body the previous evening Zack had fallen into a state which did nothing short of scare Kurt and Carey. Zack had completely withdrawn into himself, he just existed, he had been like that for the last 18 or so hours, he was basically just a shell of himself, seeing Cody had affected him deeply.
"Please Zack, please say something, talk to me" Carey pleaded when Zack didn't reply, Zack didn't reply to that either. Carey was about to say something else and hug Zack when her phone rang and interrupted her moment.
"Hello?" Carey said answering the phone
"Hello Carey" It was Mr. Moesby on the other end of the line
"Oh Marion, where are you?" Carey asked
"I'm at the hotel, but Madeline's funeral is this afternoon back in Boston and I've been asked to speak, so I think I will head up there, is there anything you need from me?" He asked
"No, please, go up there; Zack is being released today anyway so we will head up to Boston later today. What arrangements have you made for Cody's funeral?" Carey asked, she had asked Marion to organise Cody's funeral and he had dutifully obliged.
"I've reserved the Cathedral of the Holy Cross for Tuesday, and I've made arrangements for his Body to be brought to Boston on the Private Jet this afternoon, So It will come back and get you after dropping Cody off. I will talk to you and Zack when you get back to Boston and we will work out the actual details and you can make decisions about what cemetery to send Cody to.
"Thank you Marion so much for all of this. Me and Zack will go back to the hotel and rest for a few hours until the jet is ready then" Carey replied
"Alright, call me when you get to Boston and I'll come and see you" Marion replied and the phone call ended.
"Alright, Kurt, Zack, the doctors have brought the paperwork, sign here Zack" Carey said as she handed Zack a piece of paper and a clipboard, Zack silently signed the paper and he was then discharged.
A nurse fetched a wheelchair for Zack and Kurt wheeled the still silent Zack out of the hospital to a waiting limousine. Carey walked beside them, Zack was glad to leave that place of most horrible pain for him, the place where he had lost his brother, his best friend.
Twenty minutes after leaving the hospital with a clean bill of health Zack arrived at the New York Tipton hotel, he didn't want to be there. Kurt helped him out of the car and together they walked with Carey toward the elevators of the hotel.
"Can i have another room" Zack finally spoke, he didn't want his regular suite, the one he shared with Cody whenever they had been in New York.
"Sure Zack, I'll go speak to the manager" Carey replied.
Carey retuned a few minutes with the key card to the hotels third best suite which would be Zacks as she had the hotel's best suite after Zack and Cody's private penthouse and Kurt had his own room on a lower floor.
"Ok Zack, we've gotten you another room, have a rest in there and we'll head up to Boston later this afternoon" Carey said upon her return, Zack looked at her and his eyes acknowledged her but he still remained silent, his depression as all encompassing as it was.
Zack tried to sleep in his room but was unable to get to sleep, whenever he closed his eyes, he saw Cody's lifeless body lying on the table as Zack hugged him and begged him to wake up. Zack couldn't bare the image so he just lay with his eyes open staring out the full size window out into the Manhattan skyline. Zack didn't want to come to terms with life without Cody.
Zack had been in his room for three or so sleepless hours when a knock on his door startled him. He initially ignored it, not wanting to speak to any ones or have his room key and figuring his parents had a key if they really needed to come in. But the knockings continued.
"Zack, its Max, please, can I come in"
"How did she know I was in this room" Zack thought, but he decided nonetheless to let her in.
"Hi Zack" Zack spoke some of the first words he had since seeing Cody's body.
"I'm sorry I left the other day Zack, but I know you'll be going back to Boston today, and I'm going home to tell my parents what's happened. So I wanted to see you before I went back" Max said
"Come in, Sit down" Zack said, motioning toward the Suites lavishly appointed lounge area.
"Thanks" Max said "How are you doing? You Mom said you saw Cody's body last night, I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling right now" Max tried to comfort Zack
"I can't believe he's gone, I just want to wake up and have Cody with me" Zack began to tear up
"I'm so sorry Zack, I can't believe he's gone either" Max replied
"Do you know what you're going to do with the baby?" Zack asked
"No...Not yet...I'm going to talk to my parents about it...I'll be in Boston for Cody's funeral next week hopefully I'll have decided by then." Max replied sadly.
Meanwhile Cody's body was making its way to Boston on board their Private plane, Jerry the pilot flying alone while Cody's coffin stayed bolted down in the cabin. Upon arrival at Logan Airport the coffin was greeted by an unplanned and impromptu gathering of Cody's friends and Tipton employees, the news having crushed them all. Arwin, Esteban, Barbara, Bob, Mr. Moesby, Norman, Chef Paulo and various others stood at attention as the jet taxied along the tarmac and stopped in front of them. Tears were visible in many eyes as the door was opened and a scissor lift brought along by a team of removalists, the coffin was then solemnly removed from the cabin and marched past the line of mourners and into the back of a hearse. It was the most emotional moment many of them had ever experienced, seeing their friend arrive back in Boston, dead, and now they were to go and attend Maddie's funeral, It was trying times for everyone.
"Thank you Jerry" Mr. Moesby said to the visibly emotional pilot.
"No problem" he replied weakly smiling.
"Fuel her up and return to New York when you can and pick up Carey, Kurt and Zack please" Mr. Moesby reminded him
"No problem, I can be in the air in an hour" Jerry replied, Moesby thanked him and departed for Maddie's funeral.
Back in New York Max and Zack had finished their conversation and had made the preparations for Max to return home. She had initially planned to use whatever savings she had left to buy a coach ticket home and get a taxi but Zack wouldn't have a bar of it, he was sure to repay her for the original flight and pay for a business class flight home and for a limousine to the airport. Zack was such a gentlemen Max though, she liked it about him, alot.
Hey guys, hope you liked that Chapter. I'm going away on a holiday on Sunday so it will probably be a while before I can update again, though I'll have some time on the plane so maybe I'll write a new chapter- not sure on what amount of internet I'll have to upload with at my hotel. Hopefully, So enjoy it and please review!
