"I'm afraid there's been an RTC." Charlie informed the team. "There are several minor casualties coming in, but there's one major one."

Cal was about to ask Charlie if he could take the major one but, Charlie handed it over to Elle. Instead, Cal was instructed to treat the minor casualties in cubicles. Wanting to know why he was in cubicles rather than in Resus, Cal walked over to where Charlie and Elle were in a conversation. As he walked over to them he noticed how hushed their conversation was. The minute the two of them saw Cal come over their talking immediately stopped. While Cal could feel his heart was starting to beat a little bit faster than usual he ignored it.

"What is it?" Cal inquired, trying to act normal.

"Why don't we go into the staff room?" Elle offered.

"No. Whatever you have to say, say it to me here." Cal replied.

When Elle answered him, he noticed her voice was much quieter than it was before.

"Ethan's being brought in. He was involved in the RTC this morning and is the one with serious injuries."

Before Cal had time to register what Elle had told him, the double doors to the ED burst open and in came Iain and Jez, rolling a trolley.

"Right, this is Ethan. He was trapped for about an hour. Pulse is weak and his resps are low. He's had 2 litres of saline. He's unresponsive with suspected neck, back and pelvis injuries as well as a suspected head trauma. He lost output in the ambulance for about 20 minutes, but we managed to bring him back." Iain informed Elle, Charlie and Robyn as they ran into Resus.

Cal hurriedly walked behind his friends as he heard Iain roll off the extent of Ethan's injuries. He was about to enter Resus when he was stopped by Elle.

"Cal, you know the rules. You can't be in here. I'll inform you if anything happens." Elle told him.

With that, she goes over to the bed and starts ordering various of tests to be done. Cal stands outside the doors looking in as his friends tried to save his brother. He was lost in his thoughts that he hadn't heard Alicia come up behind.

"He's going to be okay, you know." Alicia said.

"Of course, he is." Cal agreed nervously. "It's just that I've already almost lost him in a car crash, I can't do the same again."

Alicia stands beside him for a few minutes longer before leaving him and heading back to treat her patients. Not long after she had gone, Cal heard a sound that he didn't want to hear. And then he heard Elle shout out that they've lost an output. Not being able to stand outside and do nothing, Cal pushed the doors open and entered the room. Inside he saw his friends rushing around the trolley.

"Please, don't let him die." Cal said as he watched Robyn pressing on his brother's chest.

"Cal, you shouldn't be here." Elle told him.

"I know, but you've got to say him."

"We will. Now leave."

Cal wouldn't listen. He was determined to stay. Determined to not leave Ethan's side. Elle saw how determined Cal was to remain by his brother's side so reluctantly she let him stay. A good hour went by and unfortunately there was still no output.

"I think it's time." Elle announced. "Does everyone agree?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"No." Cal raised his voice. "You can't give up on him. You've got to keep trying. You've got to save him."

"He's been asystolic for at least 30 minutes." Charlie told him. "We've done everything we can."

"Well, I'm not going to give up on him."

Cal strolled over to where Robyn stood and took over chest compressions.

"Cal," Elle whispered. "Stop. You have to let him go."

Cal ignored what she said and carried on with the CPR. It was heartbreaking to see him try and resuscitate his brother when they all knew it was useless, but they had to call it.

"Time of death: 11.45." Elle declared.

Cal began to slow down the chest compressions when Elle announced the time. His breathing was heavy and he felt his heart tighten. Cal stepped back as Elle switched off the machine. The atmosphere was sombre and soon it was deadly silent or so they thought.
