Ethan Hardy was stumbling though the horizontal slashes of rain that were falling around him. He squinted through his rain speckled glasses as he pulled his jacket closer around him. The wind had blown his jacket open and he was soaked wet through. His normally vibrant blonde hair was now darker and plastered to his head. He continued squelching along the pavement to the ED. He could barely see 20 metres in front of him. From what he could see, his eyes rested on a young brunette woman who was doing battle with her broken inside out umbrella. Much like the young doctor, her hair was plastered against her neck and shoulders and her thin clothing was drenched. Her wet clothes clung to her petite frame, highlighting her smooth curves and athletic physique. She discarded her ruined umbrella in the bin and pulled her jacket around herself. He watched intently as the young woman stepped into the road, she hadn't seen the black car coming towards her as she stepped off the curb. Ethan instinctively dashed out in front of the car, pulling her out of its path. It's front bumper clipped her leg as she fell against the pavement on top of the soggy doctor.
The driver screeched to a halt and several passers by stopped to gawp at the almost accident. "Hi, um, I'm Dr Ethan Hardy, I work at the Holby City ED, are you ok?" The young doctor said to the young woman. "Um, I think so?" She said questioningly. "What's your name?" Ethan prompted, trying to assess if she had a head injury. "Keira." She responded. "Any pain in your back or neck?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "No, but my leg really hurts." She admitted. Ethan sat up slowly and placed the young girl on the pavement, he grabbed his phone and called for an ambulance, amazed that ten onlookers hadn't already done so. As he lifted the phone to his ear he saw the crowd holding video phones at the pair and filming them. He shook his head as he relayed the information to the emergency services. He disconnected the call when he was satisfied that an ambulance had been dispatched. "Ok, an ambulance is on it's way, are you in any pain anywhere else at all?" He queried. "My chest is a little tight, but it's fine, I think it's just my asthma playing up again!" She spoke significantly softer than before. Ethan noticed this change in volume and watched the girl carefully. He sat her up against a wall, helped her use her inhaler and kept her talking.
