Hey guys, it's been while, so here is my take on the episode hope you like.
Le Femme Fatale
Ethan woke up cold, colder than he had ever been he was shivering his entire body shaking, his bones ached his head ached and he was dizzy, his vision was blurred but he figured that was more to do with the fact that his glasses had been removed he fumbled around trying to sit up he had just one thought.
Cal awoke from slumber and fumbled in the dark hitting his hand against the cupboard next to his bed as he tried to stop the annoying ringing disturbing his sleep he felt his hand hit against his vibrating phone and he brought it to him frowning but waking up instantly when he saw Ethan's name appear on the screen
"Eth?"
Ethan could feel his head swimming and he hated that at the first sound of his brother's voice his eyes filled with tears and as sob left his mouth
Cal could recognize that sound in a crowd of crying people and he sat up instantly "Ethan what's wrong are you ok"
Ethan knew he needed medical attention and knew Cal could help him but he needed to let Cal know where he was and what was wrong
"Cccal iii need you, hospital bbench please hurry"
Cal was out of bed and dressed before the call had disconnected it took him a further two minutes to lock up and be in the car he was at the hospital in under 4 minutes breaking every speed limit and didn't even bother parking in a designated space he did have enough sense to not block the ambulance bay. He spotted Ethan and run to him it took less than 7 minutes from the phone call to Cal being by Ethan's side to Cal it was a panicked rushed seven minutes to Ethan it was the longest and most painful 7 minutes of his short existence
The moment Cal placed a hand on Ethan the shivering slowed and warmth swept through his body Cal spoke slowly so that in his confused state Ethan could understand him
"Can you tell me what happened?"
With Cal's help Ethan sat up leaning against him and Cal put his jacket around him and waited for Ethan to speak, he wanted to just pick Ethan up and rush him through to recus but he knew Ethan would hate that and he needed to know what had happened
Ethan tried to soak up some strength from Cal and tried to gather his senses before he begun to speak
"It's all my fault, she's what those women used to be in those films mum watch do you remember"
Cal nodded answering Ethan's silent question "femme fatale"
Ethan nodded before continuing "she spiked my drink I don't know what with and now I can't think straight, I can't go in there Hansen is there and he pretty much told me to get out, and I need to go tell the police that Bonnie killed Clyde and I just why can I think straight, I everything is spinning"
Cal put an arm around Ethan as he finished his rant with a small sob "your confused and disorientated because of the drug she gave you Ethan, that's why everything is a little out of control right now so here's what we are going to do, I am going to drive you home and you are going to sleep off whatever it is she gave you where I can keep an eye on you unless you want to go back in there"
Ethan shook his head about to speak when Cal interrupted him
"Ethan if you go to the police station now and state that Bonnie killed Clyde who the hell is going to believe you"
Ethan could see his point and knew what Cal was saying was correct and the best option but he decided to try one more thing
"Then phone Iain and Robyn they can tell the police and then I'll come hhhooome "
The stutter had Cal agreeing knowing the quicker he could get Ethan home and in bed and settled the better, Cal had never been a fan of drugs but had seen enough on the scene to know this would get a lot worse before his little brother would feel any better
After he had filled Iain in he looked at Ethan who had fallen into a light sleep against his shoulder and Cal smiled instantly being taken back to the time when it was normal for his little brother to curl up and fall asleep on him, Cal shook his head and gently woke Ethan
"Come on kiddo, time for you to get home"
Ethan nodded slowly and Cal sighed knowing this was going to be difficult Cal stood up and waited for Ethan to steady himself enough to offer some assistance when Cal pulled him to his feet
Cal managed to get him into the car and Ethan fell asleep something Cal was glad about.
When he pulled up at the flat he noticed that Ethan was awake and looking at him through tear filled eyes. Cal got out of the car and opened the back door he didn't expect to have an armful of a sobbing Ethan in seconds
Cal cursed "Damn it guess we can tick age regression on the list of symptoms then huh"
He wasn't expecting an answer and after a little struggle he managed to get them up to the flat he sat Ethan down on the couch and started peeling off Ethan's wet clothes all the while Ethan sat there sobbing and clinging tightly to Cal's hand.
Cal had never been so glad to be at home and not at the hospital Ethan nor himself would never have lived this down
Cal had put the throw from the back of the sofa around Ethan after he had taken off his tops and was now taking his shoes and socks off Ethan was sobbing and whimpering and Cal wanted to get this done as soon as possible he could sense his brother was feeling vulnerable and so he spoke to him while he undressed him letting him know it was him and that he was safe he could see by Ethan's eyes that he had no idea where he was
He took a deep breath before trying to get Ethan's attention "are you going to be able to get your trousers off Eth, or do you want me to help you?"
Ethan looked at Cal and through tears said one word "Cal" Cal nodded and took the answer for what it was a cry for help.
10 minutes later Cal had Ethan in dry warm clothes and was sat on the sofa with Ethan sobbing into his side and not letting go of him
Cal had received a text message from Robyn who explained what had happened in full to Cal and offered to come over and help look after Ethan Cal agreed knowing it would be a long night
Robyn who was exhausted after working with Hansen all night trudged up the stairs to Cal and Ethan's flat
Cal had told he the door would be open for her and just walk in which is what she had did
She turned from closing the door and got no further as a piercing scream filled there air
"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH"
