Well look at me, I'm back again! Another 30th Anniversary inspired story - so there be spoilers!
Thank you to all who read and reviewed my last fic - Lucky. I hadn't written anything for a while and was a little worried that I would be a bit rusty but, as before, you were all so generous.
I want to give a shout out to casualtythe facts who gave me the idea for this story. It basically follows the path the episode took with notable differences. The main one being that it's Cal who's trapped under the scaffolding.
No Ethan/Alicia in this one either - not sure if I will ever write that.
Hope you enjoy.
As usual I don't own anyone who you recognise.
What a Day!
Ethan sucked in a deep, hopefully calming breath as he stepped out of the tense ED. The heat from the early summer sun seeped through his shirt, making him wish that he'd worn a short sleeved shirt. He leaned against the wall breathing deeply, finding it difficult to comprehend that his boss - the iron lady herself - was being treated in the ED by his friends after her car went over a cliff and that her daughter was presently on her way to the hospital in a helicopter, fighting for her life.
He glanced at his watch. Had it only been fifteen minutes since they had all been in the pub, celebrating Charlie's 30th anniversary?
He was broken out of his musings by the unmistakable sound of a helicopter. Ethan's stomach churned. What if Grace hadn't survived the journey? From what he could discern from the whispered conversations when Connie was brought in, it was a distinct possibility. The young doctor shivered at the thought.
He glanced up, following it's path. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, an object came into view - heading towards the chopper. Before he had time to process this, the object got caught up with the rear rotar blades, causing the machine to begin spinning out of control. In that split second, Ethan realised what was about to happen - and worse, he knew he was powerless to stop it!
Very short first chapter - wanted to test the water, see what you all thought.
I have another couple of chapters already written which completes the story which I will post anyway.
Until next time...
