Carey broke away from Zack and stood up. "Hi. Nice to meet you." Carey stuck her hand out for Sarah to shake, and she did.
"I think we should sit down somewhere." Sarah said walking over to a small group of chairs in the waiting room. Carey and Zack followed. "I know you are probably wondering what happened to your son. I will tell you everything I know but I don't know much myself. What is your son's name?"
"Cody."
After that, Sarah retold the story of how she came across Cody. Carey and Zack just sat there in disbelief. The three people were still sitting in silence when Linda came over holding some paper and a pen in her hands. "Carey, you are going to need to sign these papers."
"What are they?"
"Well, it lets us know who our patients are and what we are dealing with, like if Cody has any allergies and things like that."
Carey took the paper and pen from Linda and began filling out the papers. Just then a doctor came over to where the three were sitting. Thinking it might be Cody's doctor they all stood up. "Hello. I am doctor Beil, and you must be Zack." Said doctor Beil looking at Zack. "Are you ready for your blood tests?"
"Uh. Sure. I guess." And with that, Zack and the doctor were walking down the hall until they were out of sight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a couple of hours since Zack had left. Carey had finished filling out Cody's papers ages ago. Sarah had left and Carey was getting restless. She needed to know if Cody was going to be alright. What if Zack's blood type wasn't the same. Where would they get the blood needed for Cody to survive. Carey was trying to think up some answers when Zack came down the hallway. "Mom! My blood type was the same so they gave some to Cody. The doctor said that Cody's surgery is almost done. We will be able to see him soon!" Zack was so excited. He couldn't wait to see his brother again. Carey was also overjoyed.
Just as Zack had said, Cody's doctor came out and said that Cody's surgery was done and had gone fairly well. "You can go see him but only for ten minutes. Cody is in critical condition so only one of you can go at a time." Zack was really disappointed. He had been really excited, but he knew that his mom needed to see Cody first. "Mom. You can go first. I will wait."
"Thank you Zack." With that Carey ran off with the doctor. As they were going down the hall to Cody's room, doctor Beil explained what was happening with Cody.
"Well, as you know Cody was shot. The actual wound was not bad and we were able to get the bullet out quite easily."
"Then why did he lose so much blood?"
"Well, with any wound, the body bleeds out quite quickly, and we don't know how long Cody was in that alley before he came out.
Just then, they came to Cody's room and Carey stepped inside. "The anestesia from the suregery won't wear off for a couple of hours, so if Cody doesn't wake up, don't be alarmed. I'll leave you two alone now. I will have a nurse come in to tell you when you need to leave." Said doctor Beil.
The sight of Cody was actually quite frightening. Carey had never seen her son so pale before. Not knowing what else to do, she sat down next to the bed and grabbed Cody's hand. "Come on Cody, you can do it. You can make it through this. Be strong."

Author's Note: I am sorry if any doctor stuff I said was untrue but I am not a doctor and I have no idea what I am talking about. I am also sorry that this chapter was so short , but I am kind of at a writer's block. And don't worry about Cody. He will be waking up next chapter! Maddie, London, and Mr. Moesby might also turn up.
Thank you to my reviewers. You are the only thing that keeps me writing. How is my story? Is there anything that you think might make my story better. I am open to suggestions. Please Review!
