Chapter Fifteen: Fade Away
Zack watched as Maddie hung the phone up.
"Who was that?" He asked interested.
"The hospital. Cody's at the hospital. Zack, I must warn you, he's hurt."
"What happened?" Zack cut Maddie off.
"Zack he's been shot. But the nurse said he should make a full recovery in three or so days." Maddie added quickly.
Zack happier than he had been in a while jumped from the couch.
"Your were right Maddie." Zack said hugging Maddie. Her baby bump showed slightly.
Zack ran to Cody and hugged him.
"I missed you so much, and I missed you." Zack sighed. He was so relieved.
"I missed you too." Cody replied.
"Who did this?" Zack asked.
"Kurt." Cody replied dryly.
"We have to tell the cops." Zack suggested.
"No, Zack. We can't." Cody said.
"Kurt said that if I didn't die, he'd be back to try again. We can't tell the police, we have to run. Disappear, fade away." Cody whispered.
"Oh my god." Zack muttered, hugging his brother again.
Maddie came in smiling.
"How are you doing?" She asked.
"A lot better." Cody sighed.
"How's the baby?" Cody asked.
"Fine." Maddie grinned.
Maddie had been raped two months ago, and now she was pregnant.
"So, you two will be going back to school soon?" Maddie asked.
"No." Cody said firmly.
"Why?" Maddie asked
"Kurt told Cody that if he didn't die, he'd come back and try again. We have to go. Fade away." Zack told Maddie.
Maddie hugged Cody as fear washed over her face.
Five days passed with no sign of Kurt, and Cody was going home now. He knew of Zack and Maddie dating, and had caught up with everything that had been happening. The trio went home and begin packing.
"My son is in here for a bullet wound." Kurt said to the women at the front desk of the hospital.
"Who's your son?" The women asked sweetly.
"Cody Martin." Kurt said dryly.
"Oh, he checked out two hours ago, I'm sorry." The women looked up from her computer.
"Thanks." Kurt said running out the door. he called a Taxi and got in.
"Next stop, The Tipton Hotel." Kurt smiled an evil grin. You could barely see the outline of a gun in his pocket...
