For this, I have basically swapped Zoe and Yvonne around. Nick had a history with Yvonne, but he is now with Zoe... Just so you know :)
"That has gotten out of hand." Nick shook his head as he watched the monitor showing the news broadcast. It was showing the scene that was once a peaceful vigil for a man named Wesley.
"Just a bit." Zoe replied. "That poor man. Wouldn't want people fighting."
"No." Nick said and looked away from the monitor. "Look, lets get back to work, yeah? We have a lot of casualties coming in."
Everyone parted from the monitor and Zoe's phone began to ring.
"Hello?...Where are you?...Yeah sure. Be there in a few minutes." She hung up the phone.
"Who was that and where are you going?" Nick asked.
"Dixie. They need a doctor on scene and I am going." She sighed.
"I can go if you want." Nick offered. "Im not doing anything at the minute."
"No I can go, but can you take over me?" Zoe asked.
"Are you sure you want to go out there?" He asked, worried about her.
"Yeah i'll be fine." Zoe said, and grabbed her coat. "See you later."
"Love you." He said, and she blew him a kiss as she left.
"Where's Zoe off to?" Tess asking him.
"Paramedics need another doctor." Nick sighed, and Tess could see his worry.
"She will be fine Nick. Don't worry." Tess said, and smiled at him before she returned to cubicles.
Zoe was walking to her requested destination. She was near where Dixie asked her to be, and she rounded a corner. There was a tall teenage boy walking, and limping.
"Hello?" She called, and he turned around. He began to walk faster. "Please stop! I can just see that you are injured! Im a doctor." She said, but he carried on walking and went around the corner. She had to jog to catch up with him, but by the time she rounded the corner, he was no where to be seen.
She carried on walking down the road and looked into each house. She heard banging coming from one of them, and saw the boy trying to bash in the back door to a shop.
"Please stop! I only want to help you!"
"Leave me alone!"
"You need treatment!" Zoe shouted, and the boy bashed the door in and ran inside. Zoe followed him in.
She heard a thump upstairs and she walked towards the stairs.
"Hello?" She said, and started climbing the stairs. Something was wrong. It was too silent. "I know you are up here."
As she neared the top step, she saw the boy slumped across the wall with a headwound that wasn't there before. She paused on the step, and a man came round the corner, flinging a knife into her chest. She gasped as she fell backwards and then everything went black. She fell down the stairs and layed there, and then the man saw her uniform. He panicked, he got the knife and gave it to the boy upstairs who was unconscious, and then he began to phone for paramedics.
"Um, ambulance please." He said shakily. "Theres been a stabbing."
The paramedics ran through the door just as police had arrived outside. Dixie and Jeff waltzed in.
"Where is Zoe when you need her?" Jeff tutted.
"Jeff..."
"Yeah?"
"I think I found her." Dixie said, and knelt down beside her.
"No." Jeff said, looking at her. "Not our Zoe."
"It is Jeff." She said. "Zoe, can you hear me?" She got no reply. "Do you know if she fell down the stairs?"
"She did, from the top." The man said shakily. "I haven't moved her as I know what happens."
"Good." Dixie praised him. "Did you see who did this?"
"Yes.. He came after me so I hit him with a baseball bat. He is upstairs." The man said. "Im sorry. I didn't know what else to do."
"You did fine. You did what anyone else would have done." Jeff said, and turned to Dixie. "How is she?"
"She has a pulse but its there. We need to get some pressure on this wound." She said. "We are going to need back up. Ill ring, you stay with her."
"Hello?" Nick answered the phone and Dixie sighed. "Dixie?"
"Nick, we are going to need more backup. There has been a stabbing at a corner shop."
"Hasn't Zoe gotten there yet? She should be there." Nick asked.
"Oh.. she got here." Dixie said.
"Then why do you need more people? Is there too many people to deal with?" He asked, heart pounding in his chest.
"Because Zoe was the victim." Dixie sighed. She was hoping that he wouldn't ask. She didn't want him to make himself go and help.
"Where are you?" You could hear the worried tone in his voice.
"Corner shop on the edge of Summer road." Dixie said. "Who are you sending?" She didn't want him to go as she knew what the relationship was between them. She was afraid that his emotions would get in the way.
"I will see you in two minutes." Nick said and Dixie sighed.
"Wait don't you think someone else should-" He had hung up. "Great."
"What?" Jeff asked, confused.
"Nick is coming." Dixie said.
"Nick? They are together though, aren't they?" He said.
"Yes but I can't stop him now." She said. "How is she doing?"
"Not too good Dix." He shook his head. "Her pulse is weaker and she is in danger of arresting. She has lost a lot of blood too."
"We need to get her to holby, now. We can't wait for much longer."
"Nick must be bringing more kit so we can help her in the ambulance. We need him here before we move her anywhere." Jeff explained, and Dixie nodded.
Nick pulled up outside the shop on a paramedic motorbike and he ran in next to her. Zoe seemed to feel his presence as she was pulled out of unconsiousness.
"Suspected injuries?" He asked, seeing the obvious ones.
"Damage to chest, possible spinal or neck fracture, broken left wrist." Dixie explained.
"Spinal board." Nick said. "Zoe?"
"Ow." She whispered as tears streamed down her face. She tried to move her head.
"Don't move." Nick said. "Im here."
"Why can't I move?" She began to panic.
"You may have damaged your spine." Nick whispered to her and Zoe sobbed.
"No." She said to Nick. "No."
"Im sorry Zoe." Nick said, trying to stay in doctor mode.
"Spinal board." Dixie said, walking over to them and laying it down on the floor. Nick took hold of Zoe's head to keep her still. Nick heard her breath heavier as he did so.
"Don't worry." Nick said. "We will get you sorted in no time!" He tried to say happily to stop her from worrying.
"Okay, roll on one, two, three." Dixie said and Nick and her rolled her andslid the spinal board under. Zoe cried out in pain and Nick winced at the sound of it. He looked at the puddle of blood beneath her, and he knew they had to act fast.
"We need to go, quickly." Nick said, as he put a neck brace on her. "She has lost a lot of blood."
"Lets get her into the ambulance." Jeff said, and they all lifted the spinal board onto the trolley that Jeff wheeled in.
They were in the back of the ambulance and Zoe was being given pain relief. She didn't wince at the needle and this scared Nick.
"Zoe?"
"What." She said, tears still streaming down her face. She sounded tired.
"What were you doing in the shop?" Nick wanted to keep her alert so he was going to ask her questions.
"There was... a boy. He looked, injured." She managed to get out before her eyes drooped a little. This didn't go unoticed by Nick.
"Zoe." He said, and her eyes flickered open again. "How was he injured?"
"He was...he was..." Her eyes began to shut again.
"Zoe how was he injured." He raised his voice. She gasped at it and her eyes were wide.
"He was limping." She whispered, and her eyes drooped again.
"She has lost too much blood Dixie." Nick said, looked at Zoe's sweaty face. "Zoe?"
"Hmm." She said, extremely tired.
"Stay awake for me, okay?" He asked, and she opened her eyes a little and looked deep into his eyes.
"I'll try." She whispered. Tears began to prick at Nicks eyes.
"You'll be fine, I promise."
"You don't know that." Zoe said, closing her eyes again Nick saw her eyes rolled back and his heart began to pound in his chest.
They were interrupted by the dredded lasting beep.
"Zoe." Nick said, turning his attention back to her. Dixie began CPR. "Don't leave me Zoe. Don't leave me!"
