This chapter is short due to the fact that the next chapter is a turning point in the story. I've noticed a lot of people have liked Cody taking care of Zack so a lot of that to come soon.
Chapter 6 A Discovery
Zack was rushed to the OR. Dr. Jack Morris, one of the best surgeons at the hospital, was washing up. His team prepped Zack as Jack got ready.
"You guys almost ready?" asked Jack, walking into the operating room.
"Just about," said Dr. Frank Roberts. Zack was already asleep with a tube in his mouth. Jack put a hand on Zack's stomach.
"There is definitely some fluid moving around in there. We're going to need more then one hose for this one," said Jack. Jack and Frank started to cut Zack's stomach open. Blood and stomach fluid poured from the wound.
"Jesus," said Jack. He and his team went to work, desperately trying to stop the flood that was slowly killing Zack.
Cody was doing much better then his brother. The bleeding had been a false alarm. Just some loose fluid moving around inside of him. Cody was closed up after only an hour in surgery. He woke up as he was being wheeled to recovery.
"You're all done, Cody. There was nothing wrong with you. False alarm," said a nurse.
"I want to see my brother," said Cody.
"Your brother went back into surgery. Seems he's taken a turn for the worse," said the nurse.
"What?" asked Cody.
"Zack's in good hands. We called in the best surgical team in the hospital." Said the nurse. Cody sighed as they reached the recovery room. He felt so bad for his brother. He was in so much pain and the doctors didn't know really how to help him.
In the operating room, Zack's bleeding had been brought under control. The surgery was now four hours in. Allison kept a careful eye on everything. As Jack and his team were looking for problems in Zack's lower intestines, something caught Allison's eye.
"Wait. What was that?" asked Allison. Jack moved part of Zack's intestines aside.
"Oh my God. It's urine," said Jack. "Shit his bladder is leaking into his stomach." Allison backed away as the team got to work. She knew what this meant. Zack didn't have chemicals in him. Zack's organs weren't dying. Zack was infected with one of the rarest and most deadly viruses known to man.
The virus I'm going to make up in the next chapter does not exist. It is my own sick creation. Be prepared for a very weak Zack, Cody trying to be strong for him, and some heartbreaking news. Please review!
