I own nothing sourced from the suite life of Zack and Cody

Where could Cody be? This question just kept eating away at Zack Martin who was sitting in his Boston penthouse hoping Cody would come home, suspecting what he suspected had happened last night Zack had no idea what Cody's mindset would be or where he would have gone.

Carey had gone downstairs to see Arwin and Mr. Moesby who she hadn't seen since she had come back from her trip, Arwin's crush on her persisted despite her obviously reciprocating his feelings, she politely humoured him but would never lead him on, Arwin remained a good and loyal, if not clumsy friend. As for Moesby he had been Carey's rock through all the hard times, particularly in the last year, with all the problems Cody had been having about getting over London Moesby had been there for Carey to talk to, she didn't know how to help her son, and Moesby was having similar problems himself. Carey and Moesby had never revealed to anyone that they had shared a kiss at the hospital one year ago, when the doctors had let them know that Zack would be alright, it had been a fleeting moment of bliss for each of them, with Carey filled with relief and happiness, and Moesby filled with overwhelming sadness, it had made them both feel good, and forget what had happened. Carey and Moesby rarely ever mentioned to each other the kiss, they both remembered it fondly and had grown closer over the past year, but Carey moved on to find other men, the potential for a relationship still existed and they both knew it, but they were adult about it, Moesby wasn't like Arwin.

After having greeted and chatted with Moesby and Arwin Carey returned to the suite

"Is Cody back yet?" Carey asked when she saw Zack sitting at the table

"No, not yet, I'm starting to get worried" Zack replied, he after all, knew more than Carey did.

"I'm sure he's alright, he's probably gone off for a drive or something" Carey wanted to believe it, but she knew something was a little off; it wasn't like Cody to forget his cell phone or to leave without writing a note.

"I'm going to go check some places where he might be, I'll take my cell phone" Zack replied, Max had been rather dismissing on the phone, maybe he would be able to work something out if he saw her.

"Alright honey, let me know if you find him" Carey replied and Zack left.

Max had told Zack she was staying in room 2512 at the Boston Holiday inn when he had spoken to her the day before so he made his way quickly to her room in the hotel. Zack knocked on the door, Max was sitting in the room in silence, thinking about what had happened, and sick that there was no one she could speak to. Max sat with Cody's cell phone number dialled into her phone, it had been like that for over and hour, she couldn't bring herself to call him and talk, even though she wanted to, truth be told, Max would have spoken to anyone about what had happened, she just wanted someone to spill her guts to, anyone except maybe the one at her door.

Max answered the door, she had hoped it would be Cody, but she got his Twin, Zack looked worried, she thought it was better than angry at least.

"Oh...Hi Zack" She said nervously, not knowing just what Zack was there for.

"Hi Max, can I come inside" Zack said seriously

"Sure"

Max and Zack walked inside her room, it was smaller than the Martin's old suite, Max not being as fabulously wealthy as Zack and Cody, the two sat down on the couch by the TV in the room.

"What's up Zack" Max asked, worried about what the answer might be.

"Max, I don't quite know how to talk about this so I'll be straight up" Zack began, obviously serious, Max knew what was coming, she didn't want to talk about it with Zack, it was an awkward subject to bring up with her drunken lovers brother.

"Cody's gone off somewhere Max, we don't know where he's gone and I'm worried about him, but I saw how you left the suite, so, Max, did anything happen between you and Cody last night…something that might have sent him off in a panic or something" Zack continued seriously.

"Look, Zack, what happened between me and Cody is private, you already seem to know enough, you're his brother and I don't think he'd want me sharing what happened in detail with you" Max replied, getting defensive now, she wanted to talk about it with someone, but definitely not Zack.

"Fine" Zack replied slightly angrily, but he understood where she was coming from. "Do you have any idea where he might have gone though?" Zack continued.

"No, like I said before, I don't know where he's gone" Max replied quickly.

"Alright, thanks, by the way Max, I think you left something at the suite last night" Zack said as he produced the garment he had found in the bed when he had returned to the suite. Max went red as she silently took it, angry at Zack's malicious attempt to embarrass her.

Zack was still completely stumped for ideas as to where Cody could be, surely he wouldn't have gone to see their father, Kurt, who was currently living in Los Angeles, in a Beverley Hills mansion Zack and Cody had bought for him. It was a circumstance where a fatherly chat could have been warranted, but there was no use in calling Kurt to see if Cody was there as he had not been gone long enough to get to Los Angeles yet, But Zack did think perhaps he could call the airport and see if their jet had been taken out that day. Other than Kurt the options were only Maddie, possibly Moesby, but he would have said something to Carey, and Cody would have most likely been around the hotel, and failing that he could have gone to their Hotel in New York. Zack didn't want to call Maddie, he still had feelings for her, which he didn't admit to anyone, they hadn't gotten along, and it was painful for him to accept that his object of his love for so long hadn't been for him, and talking to her after having broken up all those months ago would just be painful. Zack decided he would go and speak to Mr. Moesby, he didn't want to tell him what he suspected had happened last night, it would be a violation of Cody's privacy, but maybe if he remained sketchy on the details Moesby would be able to impart some wisdom and calm Zack's worried mind. Over the past year Zack and Cody had spent a lot of time with Moesby, he had become much fonder of them, and they had been much less frequent at their destructive schemes as they strove to learn about the hotel business from Mr. Moesby who had become a mentor to them.

Meanwhile, at Maddie's apartment Cody and Maddie had been drinking and talking for several hours, their conversation had moved from the serious to more friendly chat and fun, they had been dancing to music and watching TV and talking about what they had been up to, reminiscing about the past year, Cody was very interested in the College Life.

"Heyyy Maddie, I'm hungry, want to get something to eat, where's good?" Cody slurred out after hours of talk, it was early for dinner but Cody hadn't eaten all day.

"Yeah, there's this great place a few blocks away, but are you alright to drive" Maddie slurred back

"Yeah, I'm fine" Cody replied, he was obviously not perfectly fine to drive, but neither of them were in a fit state to recognise that. The two of them drunkenly made their way down to Maddie's car, a black luxury Volvo sedan; it was a very comfortable ride.

"I don't want to drive Cody, I've had too much I think, here you drive" Maddie said as she tossed Cody the keys, he wasn't in much of a better state to drive than she was.

Cody set off out of the driveway and set off toward the restaurant on the water Maddie had suggested, the late afternoon traffic was light which worked for Cody in his state of reduced capacity but his lack of concentration and low reaction time were obvious, he was having trouble keeping the car in a straight line and keeping to the speed limit. Cody and Maddie made it most of the way and were almost at the restaurant where Maddie always had a table available

"Cody! Watch out!" Maddie screamed before there was an almighty bang followed by the sound of screeching metal and it all went black for Cody and Maddie…

And here we go with the drama people! I really couldn't bear to have the Aston Martin in the crash lol, it's too much of a beautiful car and I just couldn't bear to have Cody and the Aston in a crash at the same time! Anyway, hope you liked it and I hope your all enjoying the story as a whole.
