This is a brief idea I had of a gunman entering the ED and kidnapping Zoe, Max and Nick and she has to make a harsh choice. What decision does she have to make and who will she pick?
It was a normal day at the ED, the usual banter, emergencies and relationships. Zoe was in a deep relationship with the porter Max, which is totally unexpected, but really loves Nick. She can't come to terms at the fact she is torn between two kind and loving men. She has fun with both. Does she really love the porter? Or does she love the wealthy surgeon?
Since Nick left, Zoe became highly attracted to Max. She didn't really expect this as she had expectations but there was something about him she just hadn't quite sussed out. However, she missed Nick. She would sit up all night calling him, leaving voicemails, worrying but she had no reply. Then one day, suddenly, out of the blue, Nick returned. That day was today. A smile travelled rapidly across her face just like a kid finding out Santa had been.
'Nick! Nick! I have missed you so much! why haven't you answered any of calls?'
'Zoe, don't get your hopes up. I don't plan to stay. I was just dropping in to see everyone and see how efficiently you're running this department. I will do one shift today and see how I like it. You never know I might stay!' Nick said winking and taking a deep breath.
'I promise you Nick, I will change your mind! Even if it's the last thing I do!'
'Zoe, we need you in rhesus, we have a man with severe abdominal pain and is refusing treatment. And welcome back Mr Jordan, glad too see you!' Ruth sharply said.
Nick just smiled. He was so overwhelmed to be back at the ED. There was something Nick had ought to know. Max. He had stood watching Zoe's reaction throughout and was concerned. Why had Zoe been ringing him? Zoe was his now, Not Nick's.
There was something else that had also caught Max's attention. A weird man had come strolling into the ED looking confused. He was wearing black baggy clothes with a hood and balaclava hiding his face. He had a medium sized bag that he was keeping tight hold of. Max warned Nick. Nick being Nick went up to this man and asked if he needed help.
'Ah. Just the man I have been expecting'
