1. Chapter 1

Alicia Monroe walked into the ED, with the usual spring in her step. She smiled as she greeted Noel who looked exasperated as he dealt with a drunk patient. "Morning Alicia!" He smiled back before turning back to the drunkard. "If you are going to puke on this desk, you've got another thing coming!" Louise said standing next to Noel."Morning Alicia!" She smiled at the young F2 as she hastily made her retreat to the staffroom to get changed. "Morning gorgeous!" A voice said as a slender arm wrapped around her waist. "Morning handsome." She giggled before firmly kissing the registrar stood in front of her. "Stop, we'll get in trouble!" She hissed. "Pfft. Who cares?" He scoffed. "Ethan?!" She scolded as he kissed her again. The staffroom door opened. "Ugh, can't you do that somewhere else?" Caleb Knight stormed into the room. "Aww! Jealous are we?" Alicia said winking. "Hilarious!" He rolled his eyes. "What's with the tie?" Ethan asked noticing the strip of cloth held in his brothers hand. "Conference at another hospital. Tess, Ash, Lily and I are going to represent Holby. With Connie of course." He added quickly. "It's Mrs Beauchamp to you!" She scowled handing him a map. "It's quite alright Mrs B, I've got sat-nav on my phone!" He grinned slyly.

Alicia and Ethan stood outside the ED as their colleagues piled into the minivan. "Really, you're gonna let Cal drive? Hope you're insured." Ethan joked. "Wow, hilarious little bro!" Cal said smiling as he hugged his brother. "To be honest, I'm praying now. I fear for my life!" Ash joked. "Just get in the van!" Connie grumbled. Alicia waved to Lily as she got in. Tess, upon seeing Lily's lack of response, waved to the young pink haired doctor. "Have fun without us!" She smiled warmly. "See you later Tess!" Alicia and Ethan called out. The doors all shut and Cal hit the accelerator, without hesitation and the van lurched out of the car park. Alicia and Ethan walked hand in hand back into the ED.

A few moments later, Ethan was sat at the nurses station. "Can I have everyone's attention!" Charlie shouted above the noise. The steady hum of noise grew instantly silent. "There's been an accident! Involving our Doctors and Tess!" He announced, grim faced.
