Ethan slumps down in the staff room in the ED. This is his first break in his very-long-shift, and, well, it is over now. Ethan fits away the sleep and grumpy ness that want to overthrow him. But no. He had been summoned by the Queen of the ED herself, Miss Connie Beachamp. What does she want Ethan thinks. He has done nothing wrong, in fact he has been pulling doubles. He doesn't mind it, he likes his job. But, just, he hasn't felt just right recently, like, he just hasn't had the same 'spark'. Ethan heaves himself up at makes his way to the Queen Bee. As soon as he looks through the window She waves him in.

"Right sit down" Miss Beachamp commands

"Is everything ok?" Ethan asks, trying not to sound like he is living off caffeine.

" You haven't had a break in months, can you explain why?"

Ethan shruggs

Miss Beachamp glares at Ethan, foreign out an answer

"I just haven't had a reason to - not - be - in work" Ethan answers ending on a high pitch sounding like he isn't quite sure himself.

"I can't have my staff over tired and not up to full power, so you are on leave, starting now!"

"But, but do I have a say in this?" Ethan asks surprised.

" No. Considering in the past week every shift you have worked has been a double"

"Well not everyone" Ethan interrupts.

Connie glares at Ethan again "Every shift, every shaft has been a double, at least!. Go , go home. I will see you again in 3 weeks."

"3 weeks!" Ethan shouts

"Don't make it 4!" Miss Beachamp growled. Collect your things, get changed and go home. I will see you in 3 weeks.

Ethan looks down as he walks out. Looking down he walks to the staff room. A major RTC comes crashing in. Every part of him wants to run into resus and be in the middle of it, but the glare in the Beachamp backs him away. Giving him, the collects his things and gets changed. Walking out of the ED, he had not relieved that it was night time again. Hearing the bleep of his car unlocking, he gets in, throws his bag on the passenger chair and takes a deep breath. Turning the engine on he drives home, still in shock at the next 3 weeks.

The next morning Ethan wakes up in his bed at the sound of his 6:30 alarm. After getting up, washed and dressed Ethan decided to be productive with his time. There are some medical books and journals that he hasn't had the time to read yet. But, as he sits down to start to read, he just cannot seem to focus. His will power has just seemed to vanish. After 1 hour, and not even the first page being read, Ethan throws the book across the room in frustration. He yells in frustration. Ethan, filled with frustration, marches to his room, finds a backpack, fills it with some clothes and leaves.

Ethan only realises what he has done as he sits on the seat in the train. He looks down at his ticket. Corr. Ethan Hardy is heading to Corr. Where the hell is Corr? Ethan asks himself. He has never heard of the place. Maybe he can get of at the next stop and go back home?

*Next Stop - Corr- Estimated arrival - 2000hrs*

Ethan sinks into disbelief. What was he doing to do for the next 10 hours on the train. He didn't bring any books with him. With nothing else to do, Ethan gazes out of the window, watching as the city slowly turns into the countryside.

"Ticket please"

Ethan jumps. He looks around and sees the train conductor, waiting impatiently.

"Oh yes, hold on." Ethan fumbles around for his ticket. The conductor rolls his eyes, tapping his foot as he waits. Ethan finds his ticket and pulls it out, handing it the the conductor.

"Corr? What are you going there for, the place is a total dump!" The conductor says as he looks at the ticket. "Your the first posh boy who I've seen gog their!" Ethan doesn't know what to say, he has no reason of going. Only the fact that he somehow ended up on the train without knowing what he was doing. Impatiently the conductor walks off, not bothered to hear the answer.

Is Corr really a dump. What did the conductor mean by 'posh boy'. What on earth was he going to do?
