Chapter 13:

Cody gradually gets better and nearly returns to normal. Rebecca and Zack get back "in-synch." Zack is doing so much better and the doctor says that if all goes well he could be out within the upcoming week.

However, Raine has a sickening feeling that things are going a little "too" well. She expresses this to Cody who tells her she's just being silly and to forget about it. She tries, but can't. It tells her something bad's about to happen.

About a week after Cody's recovery Carey decides to take the little group to an amusement park, "just for a little fun."

"OOO! Let's go on that next!" Rebecca says, pointing to a ride a little ways ahead of them. Raine and Cody agree and they head towards it. Raine and Rebecca start talking about some girl thing and don't notice Cody stop, still and unmoving.

"G-guys?" He stammers. The two girls don't notice and continue walking.

"G-guys!" He repeats. His head suddenly aches and he holds it. His legs give way and he feels his body hit the rock hard asphalt.

Raine turns to where Cody was walking, "Right, Cody?" She asks the air, "Cody?" She looks around.

Rebecca turns to look also, "Cody?" Raine's the one who notices Cody lying on the ground.

"CODY!" She shrieks and the two rush over, just as Cody comes to. They help him over to a nearby bench and sit on either side.

"Cody, what happened?" Rebecca asks. Cody's staring out at the park, trying to gather his jumbled thoughts.

"S-something's wrong with Zack." He finally says, his voice shaking.

"What?" Rebecca asks, worried.

"I-I don't know." He says snapping out of his gaze and turning to look at her.

"How do you know this?" Raine asks and he snaps his head around to look at her, making himself dizzy. He grips the edge of the bench to steady himself.

"Feeling…"

"What kind of feeling?" Rebecca asks. Cody doesn't bother to look over again, he speaks directly to Raine.

"Telepathic."

"But…I thought, you guys didn't do twin telepathy?" Raine says giving him a strange look.

"We don't…not usually." They give him even more confused looks, "Only when we're in REAL trouble." Rebecca looks at him with tear filled eyes.

"Let's go find your mom." Raine tells them and helps Cody up. He gets light-headed and dizzy though and needs to sit back down on the bench again.

"Call Carey…" She tells Rebecca who whips out her cell phone and quickly makes the call.

5 minutes later they see her running across the walkway.

"Cody, what happened?" Carey asks, crouching down in front of them and checking him over. He winces as she touches his head.

"Owww." He complains. She turns away from him to the girls.

"What happened?"

"Cody thinks something's wrong with Zack." Raine tells her.

"What!" She asks turning back to Cody. Cody nods his aching head slowly.

"I dunno what….he's hurt or something. I just know it's bad and…it's hurting him." He begins to cry, of the pain in his head and the fear in his heart. "Something's wrong Mom!" Carey pulls him into her arms.

"Let's go home." She says, standing and helping Cody up. The group walks slowly to the car.

When they arrive Maddie sees them and rushes over.

"Did you guys…" She begins, but sees their worried faces and frowns, "What's going on?"

"Cody had…a, a little scare." Carey informs her.

"What happened?" Maddie asks, now just as worried as they are.

"We're not sure…" Raine says with a bite of her lip.

Maddie nods, "Oh." They walk past her and into the elevator. They enter the suite and Rebecca and Raine help Cody to the couch. Carey checks the answering machine. The first message hits them harder than words alone can describe.
