Hey all,

Had some casualty inspiration from last night. This is based around Connie and Grace falling off the cliff (scary stuff! When Connie held Grace back into the seat and grabbed her hand, I had goosebumps. She did her best to protect her daughter) I'm going to bring a couple of my favourites to the rescue. You may know who they are. Enjoy : )

(Title from Sherlock. Seemed relevant.)

Grace opened her eyes. She was in the same position as she was when the car hurled off the cliff. She looked around, it was grey and dark as she was surrounded by trees as she sat in the smashed up car. She looked to her right and saw her mum, head facing her, unresponsive. Grace removed her seat belts as she shakes in fear and shock.

"Mum?" Grace called Connie but had no answer. She placed her hand on Connie's shoulder "Mum!" Grace raised her voice. She heard Connie mumble a sound but she was still unconscious. Grace's eyes watered a little. Grace then heard vibration and a little light down by Connie's feet. She reached over as she winced in pain and grabbed what was Connie's phone. She looked at the screen to reveal a missed call from Charlie. She immediately rang him back, hoping he would pick up still. Charlie looked at his phone once he heard it ring. He smiled as he answered it.

"Connie. Where are you? Everyone's thrown a surprise party. No doubt that you were in on this too." Charlie still smiled as he stood outside the pub.

"Charlie!" Grace cried. Charlie's smile left as he heard Grace's distressed voice.

"Grace? Where's your mum?" Charlie asked.

"We've had an accident." Grace quivered. Charlie continued to listen calmly. "Mum's not waking up. I tried shaking her, she moved a little but she's not now. There was this cliff and we...we" Grace couldn't continue as she starting to sob. Charlie got the picture, he listened to Grace as she sobbed. He had a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Alright Grace. Listen to me. Do you where you are? What road you were on before...it happened?" Charlie asked. He had to know where they were.

"Gilston canyon. I think." Grace whimpered.

"Okay Grace listen to me, I may know a route that can get to you. I'm gonna bring a doctor and we are going to come check on you. Okay?" Charlie had to ease Grace's worries.

"Okay." Grace whimpered still.

"Okay, stay there and I will be with you soon. Keep trying to get your mum to come round but don't move her. Are you hurt anywhere?" Charlie asked. The fact that Grace was alive was an even bigger miracle. She was so little.

"My legs hurt." Grace answered.

"Okay. Just don't move." Charlie advised.

"I'm scared, Charlie." Grace spoke softly.

"I know, darling but just sit tight, I'm on my way." Charlie smiled as he hung up the phone. But that smile left when he finally realised what happened. He quickly walked back into the pub and turned the music, only to receive confused murmuring.

"Charlie, what's going on?" Robyn picked up on Charlie's scared expression.

"I'm sorry everyone. But there's been an accident involving Connie and Grace. I need a doctor to come with me till we can get an air ambulance and other services in.

"I'll go." Ethan volunteered. Charlie nodded then headed out the door. Ethan followed him only to get grabbed by the shoulder he turned around and saw Cal.

"Ethan. Be careful." Cal advised as he gave Ethan the car keys. Ethan gave a little nod and followed Charlie out the door.

Ethan and Charlie arrived near the scene. It was nearly dark so they had to find Connie and Grace quickly. Ethan parked at the side of the road. They got out the car. Ethan looked up at the canyon.

"Good gracious." Ethan spoke quietly. From what Charlie was explaining to him, he didn't imagine the fall to be that big. He grabbed his bag out the boot and headed into the forest where the mother and daughter are presumably placed.

"Grace." Charlie called as he held a torch. "Grace!" Charlie shouted as it echoed. Not so far away. Grace heard Charlie's voice.

"Charlie!" Grace screeched back. This made Connie jolt awake after hearing her daughter's high pitch scream. Grace looked down at Connie. "Mum!" Grace smiled greatly.

"Darling." Connie mumbled as she tried to clear her vision. "What...you okay?" She slurred her words a little. Grace nodded. "Good" Connie shut her eyes again. Grace began to panic until she saw torches in the background.

"Grace!" Charlie shouted again.

"Charlie. Over here!" Grace continued to shout. "Hold on, mum. Please." Grace cried as Charlie and Ethan ran to the car. Charlie ran round to Grace's side, hopping over branches and other types of nature. Ethan ran to Connie's door and used all his strength to pull the door open. After opening the door, it felt off its hinges. Ethan put his hands on Connie's face to stabilise her neck.

"Mrs Beauchamp. Can you hear me?" Ethan called Connie, she was unresponsive once more. Ethan grabbed a smaller torch and shined it in her eyes. "Pupils are quite responsive but we need to get her out of here now." Ethan tried to keep calm. He felt her pulse. "Pulse is quite slow as well." Ethan softly spoked as he looked at Charlie through the car. Charlie sighed as he hugged Grace for comfort. They heard a helicopter over their heads. Ethan looked up. Connie came round again and looked at Ethan.

"Ethan..." Connie whispered.

"Mrs Beauchamp." Ethan smiled as Connie moaned quietly.

"Grace." Connie still spoke quietly.

"You're both going to be fine. Just hang on." Ethan smiled still but Connie's world was leaving her again as blackness once again took her sight.

"Hang on." Was the last thing she heard.

So this is my theory. Originally it was Jacob that called Connie but I'm not keen on him as most of you know so Charlie was my next choice.

This will most likely not happen. It didn't even look like there was a road at the bottom of the canyon but I wanted to be creative.

Hoping to release the second chapter tomorrow but will see. See you soon : )
