Note: This story was requested by Penelope hanna. Prompt: Cal is involved in the car crash. But, what made him crash in the first place.

His mind was in a mess. Not only had he found his birth mum but, he had also found out some devastating news. His birth mum had Huntington's and there was a likely chance he or his brother could have inherited the gene. Cal couldn't deal with the recent news, so he did what he normally did when things got tough. He went to the nearest pub and got drunk. The drink would clear his mind. He wouldn't have to deal with it. After drowning away his problems, Cal got in his car and sped off. He wasn't paying attention when he felt the car get rammed from the side. The car skidded and Cal tried to keep the car straight. IT was no use. The car slammed into the barrier. Cal was knocked unconscious and everything went black. Sirens were heard in the distance as police cars and ambulances pulled up. Dixie and Iain jumped out of the ambulance and ran towards the wreckage. Running both paramedics suddenly froze to the spot. They recognised the car.

"Dix, it's Cal. It's Cal!" Iain shouted as he ran over.

"How's he doing?" Dixie asked as she came up behind him.

"He doesn't look good. We need to get him out ASAP."

"Right, get a collar on and put a line in. I'll radio it through."

While Dixie ran off, Iain made sure Cal was stable. This was the one thing he hated about his job. It was seeing someone he knew hurt and he knew he had to remain professional if he wanted to save him.

Noel was busy behind reception when the phone rang.

"Holby ED."

"Noel, it's Dixie. We've got a RTC."

There was silence.

"Dixie?"

"I'm afraid it's Cal."

Noel nearly dropped the phone. But, he didn't.

"ETA?"

"5 minutes."

Zoe walked up and noticed Noel's pale complexion.

"Noel, everything okay?"

"Uh, that was Dixie on the phone. There's been a RTC and um, they're bringing Cal in."

Zoe was shocked but, she remained her composure.

"Noel, if you see Ethan, don't tell him anything. Not yet. Not until we know how serious his injuries are."

Noel nodded as Zoe left to inform the others.

"Robyn, Lily and Rita I need you with me in RESUS. We've have an incoming RTC. ETA 5 minutes. And I should warn you it's Cal."

"What?" Rita asked. "Does Ethan know?"

Zoe shook her head.

"He won't know until we know how serious his injuries are."
