Zack looked at Carrie, "Can you bring him to me so I can see him?"
Carrie nodded and went back out into the waiting room. "Cody," she said, "Zack wants to see you." Tears filled Cody's eyes.
"Mom, I don't want to. He won't be the same. Let Maddie go, he will want to see her," Cody answered.
"Okay Cody, but you have to go in sometime," Carrie sighed. She nodded towards Maddie. Maddie nodded solemnly back and walked into the white room. Again, Zack's face was white and it matched the bed.
"Whoa," Zack said. "Hey babe."
"You remember me!" Maddie jumped up and down in joy.
"You're Cody right?" Zack asked.
"No, I'm Maddie."
"Phew, I like that name better."
"Zack, you're in love with me practically. But, I don't like you because I am 3 years older than you. So I always push you away and you keep getting at me. It is fun after a while, and I kind of miss it. Zack, come back, let your memory go into that empty head of yours," Maddie said, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I can see why I liked you. Maddie, you are my kind of girl!" Zack answered.
"Zack, this is serious. You were in a coma, you woke up, and now you don't remember anything. Please, tell me you remember something from before the accident, please!" Maddie begged.
"Hmm, let me think."
Flashback from Zack's point of view: There was a headrest, where some old lady's red hair stuck out from the top. Then there was a noise. It was singing. The tune was old and very unpleasing, but yet I could hear one of the persons in the car singing along. It seemed to be a country song. "There's no place like hommmmmmmmmmmme…" the voice half-sang/half-yodeled. I remembered putting my hands over my ears and closing my eyes. There was a scream. Two screams, girl screams. Then there was an old woman scream, and a yet another girl scream. I opened my eyes and saw a light, a bright light, and then I heard the voices scream even higher. Someone fell on top of me, and, and, it all went black.
"Wow, Zack, I'm sorry," Maddie said. "I didn't think you knew so much. Wait a minute, if there was two girl screams, that was me and London, then the old lady scream was Merrial, and then who was the last scream? Oh my goodness, it had to be…"
"My mom?" Zack asked, interrupting.
"Your mom wasn't with us, darling."
"Wait, as soon as the first two screams started, the singing stopped. Then came the old lady scream, and then the girl scream," Zack added.
"Cody was singing! It had to be Cody!" Maddie exclaimed.
"Wait, my twin BROTHER yodels and screams like a GIRL?" Zack was surprised.
"'Fraid so. Wait, who fell on top of you then?" Maddie replied.
"Um, I don't know, I blacked out, remember?"
"Well, it sure wasn't me. Was it a girl?" Maddie asked.
"Uh, I think so, but not one I've seen so far. She was a bigger girl, like 20 or sumthin'."
"Well, that certainly isn't Merrial, London, or Cody. It had to be the person who hit us!" Maddie exclaimed.
"Who hit us?" Zack asked.
"A woman, she was about 20, had blonde hair, lots of make-up on, and was as skinny as a twig, literally, I have her ID number," Maddie explained.
"Yeah, it was her!" Zack shouted.
"I wonder why she was impacted so much, as to fly out of her car and land on you," Maddie wondered.
"Maybe she didn't have her seatbelt on?" Zack asked.
"No, well, that could've happened, but she had to be way like, lifeless to fly that far."
"Maybe she died of a heart-attack seconds before the accident?"
"She was 20! Hmm or maybe…"
"She was stung by a killer bee's nest just before the collision!" Zack shouted.
"She was drunk!" Maddie exclaimed, finishing her sentence.
"That's a good guess too, but…" Zack started.
"Zack don't you see? It is not London's fault that you're here right now! It's the other woman's!" Maddie exclaimed again.
"So that means we can SUE HER!" Zack exclaimed as he laughed maniacally.
"Zack, she can be put in jail if we can prove it. The only way I will prove it, is if you get better to help me, so get well soon!" Maddie replied, and she kissed him on the forehead and left the room.
The others were so happy to see that she didn't come out of the room crying. She explained to them what she had figured out, and they all agreed. When Zack was well enough, they would take down that woman. Cody would do anything like that in order to not see his brother in a hospital bed. So he agreed too. The night was over, and the company left Zack to sleep in his bed, and they would be back the next morning.
Cody stayed up all night figuring out how they would bust that evil doer. He clicked away at his computer, in the lonely room, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zack's empty bed. He turned around fully to face the bed, and he saw Zack lying there. Cody's eyes opened wide, for he knew that Zack was in the hospital. So he looked over the Zack that sat on the bed.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Well, everyone told me I'm your twin, so I believe it. Now, Cody, you have to help me get better first before we can crack the case. The doctors say that I won't go home for a week unless I get better sooner. Help me Cody!" the Zack explained.
"If you're Zack, how are you here?" Cody asked.
"I'm in your mind Cody, we have twintelepathy, remember?" Zack said.
"Right, now you said I have to get you better?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, I don't trust the rich girl, Maddie doesn't know as much as you, and Mom… let's not even go there. Cody, there is a formula, I'm not allowed to tell you, but in those long minutes I was in the coma, God told me. God told me you have to figure it out, and you have to give it to me, so I can get out of here."
"Zack, did you really see God?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, I did. He's pretty cool. But Cody, there is no time to waste; I won't let you sleep until you find that formula. Oh, and you might want to think about using Mom's cookies…" Zack clamped his hand over his mouth.
"Thanks, but I better get started. Bye Zack," Cody replied.
"Bye Cody," Zack murmured with his hand still over his mouth. Zack disappeared in a blink, and Cody went back to thinking.
Seeing as it was 3'o'clock in the morning, Cody realized that his mom was asleep and he needed supplies to test with. He took Zack's advice and took a few cookies to test on. He also took with him milk, eggs, paint, flour, food coloring, and peanut butter. First he took some of his mother's cookies and put them on his desk. He crumbled them up and filled the cracks with milk. He mixed the flour with food coloring, and sprinkled that over the top. Then he cracked an egg on top of it and painted the whole mixture, and then frosted it with peanut butter. Then he went into the kitchen and put it in the microwave. A blue light flashed in the microwave when the cooking was done, and Cody's eyes went really big. The thing looked delicious, it was a blue, fluffy, puff and Cody stared at it in awe.
"How do I know it works?" he asked aloud. He looked at his project again, and decided he would try it. He would see if he remembered more. He took a bite. "This is really good!" Cody exclaimed after finishing his bite. He zoned out while looking at the puff and suddenly there was a flash. He could remember things! He remembered that when he was one years old he flushed his mother's earring down the toilet, and he remembered that Zack had had amnesia before when they were two. Cody let out a shout. He jumped up and down. His sleepy mother entered the room.
"Cody Martin, it is 4'o'clock in the morning!" Carrie exclaimed.
"I know Mom, but try this!" Cody shouted.
Carrie took a bite and her eyes lit up. She, too, zoned out and came back again. "Cody, I still remember you flushed my earring down the toilet," she said as she gave him an evil look.
Cody shouted again. "Mom, I can cure Zack!" He ran into his room and out again with his clothes on and yelled, "Mom, we have to go now!" Carrie's eyes lit up, and without changing, she jumped in her car and they drove down to the hospital.
They rushed into Zack's room. Cody gasped. Zack wasn't in the bed, but Maddie was.
Good chapter, do you think? I like it, and I had nothing to think of for the cure part, so I made something up of course! Hope you like it; I am done with this chapter finally!
