When Rick reached Jason, he observed the thing they found. "Let's take it so Dustin can have a look at it, and analyze it." Rick pulled out a small ziploc bag, while Jason slowly picked up the piece of glass with blood on it.

"Well lets head back it's getting late." Snake stretched while yawning.

"Yeah." Rick looked around for Zack and Cody, they were leaning against the wall trying to stay awake.

Nick walked over to the two and set his hands on their shoulders. "Come on we're headed back." Nick stared at them.

Cody stared at Nick's eyes, taking in each piece of detail to the icy blue eyes.

Nick looked directly at him, and smiled. "Let's go." He removed his hands from their shoulders and walked toward the others.

"Zack." Cody started.

"Huh." Zack pulled a piece of candy from his pocket.

"Have you ever noticed how Nick's eyes are a white blue, almost like ice."

"No, here." Zack handed him some candy.

"Come on boys let's go." Snake called over to them from outside the store, he was holding the Caution tape up so they could easily go under.

They ran over to Snake and under the tape. Snake watched them with mocking eyes.

The group made their way back in loudness, Nick was hyper and talking a lot, he complained about not having any music to listen to, because Jason and Rick (who are in the front seats) wont put anything in. Snake would every once in awhile snap at Nick and reach over Zack and Cody's heads and slap Nick in the back of the head.

A small bang interrupted Nick's story. They continued driving.

"Did we hit something?" Cody asked.

Rick was silent for a still moment, he was observing the controls, but nothing was wrong. "No." He finally said. Smoke began to rise from the hood of the car. "Snake, Nick." Rick yelled at them.

Quickly the two unbuckled, they unbuckled Zack and Cody. Snake grabbed Zack, and Nick grabbed Cody. They opened their doors and jumped out of the moving car and onto the highway.

Zack's eyes snapped shut when the door opened, what was happening what was going on, were they going to jump or what, Snake grabbed Zack and jumped out the door. Snake pulled Zack closer to him and turned to where he was under Zack, they hit the ground and rolled into the ditch, Snake kept a hold of Zack through each smack onto the ground, when they finally stopped rolling Zack opened his eyes he had squeezed shut, Snake's grip loosened and Zack pulled himself away, he looked at Snake to see that Snake's head had hit a medium size rock and was now bleeding. Zack panicked.

"Snake?" He whispered. "Snake?" Zack gently shook Snake's shoulder.

Cody's eyes widened the moment the door opened. They were going to jump. Nick pulled Cody toward him and jumped, while they were in the air a truck was moving their way, Nick quickly put himself between Cody and the semi-truck, the truck hit. Cody kept his eyes open, for some reason he heard nothing and saw nothing, he had blacked out, was he hit. His hearing returned to him, and he heard heavy breathing that seemed to miss every other breath, the noice he heard was now coughing. Cody felt something cold behind him, he tried to move but he couldn't, something was wrong.

He heard more coughing, his sight returned and he saw red, but nothing else. He felt something move. Then heard footsteps and someone yelling. "Nick, Cody are you ok?" It was Zack's voice

"I think I'm ok." He heard a familiar voice force the words out. The coldness Cody felt on his back was no gone, like it just vanished or melted.

Nick moved away from laying on top of Cody, Cody finally got a full view of everything and saw Nick covered in blood, Nick's nose looked to be broke along with a cut on his forehead that ran to the side of his face and the side of his head. His shoulder also looked dislocated.

Cody quickly sat up he too was covered in blood, Nick's blood. Cody had no scratch or bruise on him.

Zack ran up to Cody and gave him a big hug. "I thought I'd loose you." Zack whispered.

Cody hugged him back. "Same here."

The identical twins turned to Nick who was standing up. "You shouldn't be moving." Cody said.

"It's either we move or we get hit again." Nick wheezed.

"Again?"

"Yeah we were hit by a semi, but you're alright don't worry about it." Nick helped Cody to his feet. "Zack where's Snake?" Nick was serious compared to his usual party personality.

"This way." Zack remembered his unconscious friend. Zack led the to the ditch him and Snake had rolled into.

Nick hurried to Snake when he saw him laying the motionless. He looked Snake over, only his head was bleeding but his wrist seemed broke or cracked.

"Zack do you feel dizzy or sore at all?" Nick turned to him.

"No." Zack responded.

"I want you to go up the road and try to find Jason and Thunder."

"Ok." Zack ran in the ditch the way the car was moving when they had been driving.

Cody uselessly watched his brother run for help. "Why didn't you tell me to go with him?" Cody asked.

"You look dizzy and I'm sure you are. I believe that you might have a little bit of whiplash." Nick explained moving Snake to a different position.

"What about Rick, you told Zack to just find Jason and Thunder."

Nick looked up to the sky. "Rick…well it's hard to explain he'll be ok though so try not to worry to much."

"He's your brother how can you not worry?" Cody stood up and yelled.

Nick shifted his gaze to the angry child. "I am worried…" He left it at that.

Cody looked down and walked to the grown men and sat near them not wanting to say anything.

After Snake and Nick got Zack and Cody out of the car, Rick told Thunder to get out. Thunder did so and landed in the ditch an acre away from where Snake and Zack landed, he landed fine and was unhurt.

Thunder sat on the side of the hill and waited he knew either way that someone he knew would come past him. Which some one did.

Zack ran right up to Thunder. "Thunder."

Thunder turned to the heavy breathing boy. "Yeah?"

"Snake's knocked out and Nick is really hurt, but Cody's alright. Nick wanted me to find you and Jason."

"Uh Jason is somewhere up that way I'll go with you to get him." Thunder stood up.

The two walked further up the road.

Thunder had did as told and jumped, when he left Rick told Jason to get out. Jason refused, Rick and him argued for a couple seconds. Then Rick opened Jason's door and unbuckled him kicking him out of the car.

Jason landed just as Thunder and was fine. He laid on the ground motionless just thinking, around him was burned weeds and grass that came to look as a black circle that was new and surrounding Jason.

Hearing footsteps Jason turned his head to the side and saw Zack and Thunder running up to him. "What happened?" Zack asked looking at the black circle.

Jason sat up. "It was here before I just landed in it."

"Uh ok." Zack believed him.

"So how is everyone?"

"Snake's unconscious, Nick's hurt, but these two are fine." Thunder answered.

"Well let's go." Jason stood up with Thunder's help.

The two started walking expecting Zack to follow. "Wait what about Rick?" Zack didn't move, he only turned around to face them.

Jason sighed, he hesitated on what to say. "He'll be fine." Jason walked back to Zack and put a hand on his shoulder "Let's just concentrate on the others."

"But-"

"He'll be fine come on." Thunder urged.

"Fine." Zack unhappily gave in and began walking with them.

Rick was alone in the car after he kicked Jason out he turned off onto a dirt road, at the moment the car was smoking making things harder to see. Rick drove it a little further to a dirt clearing that looked as though it had been used for racing and doing donuts. The car started on fire, Rick quickly unbuckled himself and jumped out of the car, he rolled to a ditch going into it the car drove straight toward the same ditch, if blew up just seven feet away from Rick.

Debris, car parts, and flames hit Rick, he stayed on the ground waiting a few moments until he though everything was done spreading out, when he stood up one of the car doors flew toward him, hitting him pieces of glass cut him everywhere. He fell to the ground and started breathing heavy. "Crap." He breathed. He slowly worked his way to his feet again.

He heard sirens coming quickly. 'Fire truck.' He noted. Another siren rang through his hears. 'Ambulance.' He had a choice walk to the hotel and not bother with the ambulance or let the ambulance take him to the hospital. His choice was made, walk to the hotel, he knew it'd be smarter to go to the hospital, but he didn't want to, he didn't want to bother, if he went then he'd have to deal with all of the paper work and doctor bill. And plus he could get better care and help from his friends.

Thunder carried Snake on his back, for someone tall he was fairly light but he wasn't under weight. Jason carried Cody so if the boy had whiplash or was dizzy it wouldn't get worse, Zack helped Nick walk correctly, Nick was somewhat light headed, but didn't want to be carried.

The group found two taxi's and took them to the hotel. When they entered Mosbey wasn't here only the night manager, Skippy(I think it is). When they came in side Skippy was busy talking to some of the bell hops so the group decided to take this advantage to sneak to the elevators, it worked but when they were to their floor the door opened and there stood Mosbey, Carrie(Mrs. Marten), Emma, Stephanie, and Samantha(or Sammy).

Mosbey looked angry at first then his face softened to surprise when he saw Snake and Nick. Carrie was in shock and panic when she saw Cody covered in blood.

"Cody?" She ran over and took him from Jason. Looking over him she saw he was not hurt. "Thank goodness." She hugged him, reaching over she grabbed Zack and hugged him too.

Emma ran up to Jason and put her hands on his cheeks. "Are you ok?" She asked looking him over. He nodded. Emma hugged him.

Sammy walked up to Thunder and offered to take Snake. Thunder looked at her. "No I'll take him to his room and get Dustin, but you could get Dustin for me." Thunder continued walking, he stopped next to Mosbey. "Don't worry they'll be ok."

Mosbey looked at him, Thunder gave him a reassuring smile. He continued walking toward Snake and Nick's room. Sammy following.

Stephanie walked up to Nick. "Where's Rick?"

Nick looked down and away.

"Nick…" She paused waiting for an answer only to receive none. "Nick tell me where he is." She shouted.

Nick still looked away. "I…I-I don't know." He choked.

Stephanie looked shocked she stepped back a step. 'Usually when the boy's come back hurt they're still together.' She began panicking. Nick looked up at her in shock he stepped toward her but she stepped back again. He reached his hand out for her to take so he could comfort her but she swiped it away. Mosbey still stood there in shock, he didn't expect any of this, what had happened.

Nick stepped toward Stephanie again, again she stepped back. Emma put a hand on his chest. He looked at her, she shook her head. Nick looked to the ground then walked to his room.

Carrie released her boys. "Go to the room I'll be there in a minute." She whipped away a tear that had let it's self out. Standing up she walked toward Mosbey. "Mr. Mosbey are you alright?" She set a hand on his shoulder.

He nodded slightly.

"Why don't you go home and we'll tell you how they are in the morning when you come, and if we here anything from Rick.

Jason and Emma moved out of the way to the elevator.

Mosbey nodded again and walked into the elevator. "I'd like to hear what happened in the morning please."

Jason nodded at him. The elevator door shut and Carrie turned to Jason.

"What did happen?"

"There was just an accident, I'll explain in the morning."

Jason gave Emma a kiss on the cheek and left to their room.

Emma and Carrie walked up to Stephanie. "Hey Steph, he gonna be alright, he's not going to give up so soon." Emma reassured her. Stephanie nodded and leaned into Emma. Carrie rubbed her back. "Why don't we head to bed, Rick will be here in the morning." The three all left to their rooms

Rick was blocks away from the hotel, he didn't have enough strength to continue walking so he sat on a bench in a park, he laid down on it and stared at the starry sky. Slowly he drifted into sleep.
