Connie and Rita -Impossible?
A/N
So this is an eventual Freechamp fic which will probably end up being about 3-5 chapters long. It has a sprinkle of Zax too! :D
Reviews welcome,

"Where's Rita?" Zoe Hanna asked one evening at the pub. The ED staff had had a long and gruelling night shift, so she had treated them all to breakfast.
"No idea. She usually doesn't miss the chance of free food" Max answered.
"I thought that was you?" Robyn teased.
"Connie didn't look too happy either." Said Lofty.
"She's never happy!" Max laughed.
"Oh be quiet." Zoe scolded, but couldn't help smiling.
"I saw Rita leaving the ED, she didn't look very happy." Tess said, sitting next to Zoe.
"I hope she's okay" Zoe said as her phone buzzed.
Max looked over his partner's shoulder. "Speaking of which."
"She's contacted you?" Tess asked the consultant.
"Yeah," Zoe answered. "She's said: 'Hello everyone, sorry I didn't come for breakfast with you, I'm not in a good place atm and I just wanted some alone time. Rita x"
"We should make sure she's okay." Robyn stated.
"Well, we're all exhausted, but I'm quite happy to go up to her house to make sure she's alright." Said Zoe.
"I'll come too" Max said.
"You don't have to, Rita won't exactly attack me, will she?" enquired the consultant.
"Captain Redbeard still hasn't given me the key to his boat." Max answered.
"Max, as much as I love you and everything, I'm quite good friends with Rita, and if she wants to talk to me about anything I don't believe she'd appreciate you being there." Zoe said gently.
"Let me borrow your keys then!"
"Okay" Zoe rooted around in her handbag for the keys and passed them to her partner. "There you go."
"Thank you." The porter answered, and downed his drink, placed a sloppy kiss on Zoe's lips. "Bye gorgeous" he grinned, picked up the keys, and left.
"You two are so soppy." Robyn teased. Zoe blushed.
"I am, I suppose." She admitted. "I think I'd better go now too"
"Good luck" Said Tess.
"Why would I need luck?"
"Just be careful" the nurse warned.
"I will be" Zoe said, and with that, she got up and left the pub.
She got into her Audi and typed Rita's address into her GPS.
The consultant managed to get to Rita's without any mishaps, Max had persuaded her to get the satnav, and as it was quite new, she didn't trust it yet.
Zoe knocked on Rita's front door and shivered. The early morning breeze was quite chilly.
She was just about to go, as she'd waited a few minutes and was desperate for a cuppa and a cigarette (she'd left her pack in her car, and couldn't be bothered to go back and get it), when the door slowly opened, to reveal Rita.
The nurse's makeup was smudged, she'd been crying. A lot.
"Zo-Zoe? What are you doing here?" Rita asked.
"I've come to see what's up with you, young lady" The consultant answered gently "I knew by your text that you weren't your usual self."
"Okay."
"Can I come in?" The brunette asked, she was freezing, the blue dress she was wearing wasn't meant to protect her against the cold.
The blonde opened her door further in order to let Zoe in.
Rita led Zoe into what the consultant assumed was the living room. They both sat down on the sofa.
"So, what's all this about?" Enquired Zoe.
"It's Connie. I'm falling for her and I don't know what to do."
