Chapter 13:

Cleaning, A child, And a brother

Carrey sighed. Her arms and knees were aching. She had been scrubbing down the suite since 5:30 that morning. The police had come over the night, and it was identified as real blood. Not fake. That part was the worst for Carrey. She didn't like the sight of blood on a normal basis, and her entire home was covered in it. Zack and Cody were staying in a room that Mr. Moseby had provided for them until their suite was clean. Kurt had been down at the police station all morning, trying to clear this up.

Carrey dunked the sponge in the bowl again, and began to scrub away at the floor once more. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Carrey sighed, got up, threw the sponge back in the bucket, and opened the door. It was Maddie. She had an apron and gloves on, and a ton of cleaning supplies with her.

"I thought you could use some help" said Maddie shrugging.

"Thanks" said Carrey, motioning her in.

"No problem. I just heard about what happened. Are you okay?" asked Maddie, laying a hand on her shoulder.

"A little freaked, but okay I suppose" said Carrey sighing.

"I figured. I decided to come over and help. Are you doing this by yourself?" asked Maddie, glancing around the room.

"Yeah. Kurt is down at the police station. He's been there since about 5 this morning. They boys are in another room somewhere in the hotel, so I'm here all alone. " said Carrey sighing.

"Oh my goodness" said Maddie shocked.

"Yeah"

"Well then you definitely need help. Where can I begin?" asked Maddie, eager to help.

"Um...how about the windows?" said Carrey.

"Alright" said Maddie rushing over, and beginning to work.

Carrey shrugged and got back on her knees, and continued scrubbing the floor. Suddenly, the door flung open. Carrey and Maddie looked up. It was Cody. They each let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey. I was bored, so I figured I'd help" said Cody.

"Okay, you can start in the bathroom" said Carrey, pointing to the bathroom door.

"Okay"

"Thanks, sweetie"

"No problem, Mom"

Cody walked off to the bathroom, opened the door, and his mouth went wide with shock. He left the door open, and began to clean the mirrors. It was a mess in there.

Boston Police Station 1:

Kurt leaned back in the chair, sighed, and rubbed his forehead. He had been there since 5 that morning, and he had been going crazy. He had been asked so many questions, and had to make so many decisions, regarding his and his family's lives. It was insane. He was just so stressed. He still wasn't sure who the heck that guy was. All he knew was that Carrey had something to explain. He was sure it was her. But he was afraid to confront her.

"Sir, Detective Allen would like to see you know" said an officer, pointing towards a hallway, and carrying a folder in his hand.

Kurt sighed, got up, and replied.

"Alright, show me his office" he said.

"Her office"

"Oh...sorry, her office" Kurt said, sighing, shrugging, and following the officer down the hallway. This was beginning to get irritating, and it was definitely nerve racking.

Chris's shack, West Virginia:

Chris paced the den in his cabin-like home. He was worried about his brother's condition. He had a severe heart attack, and he was in the ICU at the nearby hospital. His brother had been having heart trouble. He wasn't aloud to see him at the hospital. He was so worried. He walked over to a file cabinet, unlocked and pulled open the first drawer, and shifted through several files. Finally, he pulled one out, and laid the file down on the desk. He sat down in the chair, and opened the file. It read:

Or do what his brother did. Pretend to be a friend of the parents, and drop in every once in a while. He wasn't sure.

All of a sudden, the phone rang. He picked it up quickly. Suddenly, he dropped the phone, fell to his knees, and tears began to stream down his cheeks. His brother had just passed away.
