"Max do you want a cup of tea?" Robyn called through the door as Zoe glared daggers at him.
"I could murder one" he said. 'Typical', thought Zoe letting her head fall forwards onto his shoulder to hide her face. 'Why did he have to push everything to the limit?'
"One mug or two?" Max looked down at Zoe grinning. Knowing the answer but enjoying teasing her. Zoe shook her head at Max, eyes widening, there was no way she was going to admit to being in the room, even if Robyn didn't know who she was.
"Just the one mug I think" Max replied. Zoe could have murdered him, she didn't think it was possible that he could be any more obvious.
"Ok I'm coming in" Robyn said as Zoe quickly dived under the covers.
'A little more warning would have been nice' Zoe thought trying to steady her breahing and praying there was nothing that could give her away 'Nosy.'
"Lofty!" Robyn suddenly exclaimed as Zoe heard a clutter.
'Oh God, what's happened now? Why can't they just leave the room. Trust Robyn to be so interfering.' Zoe thought, wondering how Max managed to keep anything at all from her.
" Is he ok?" asked Max concerned.
"Does he look ok? Call an ambulance" Robyn ordered
Zoe froze, she couldn't just lie there hiding when Lofty was... well whatever was happening to him.
"Ok stay with him" Max told his sister, jumping out of bed and running out of the room to get a phone. Anything to make Max get out of bed must be serious and Zoe knew it. She was about the get up but hesitated when she heard Robyn's voice.
"Lofty come on" she whispered trying to revive him
'Ok here goes' braced Zoe throwing the covers off of her and kneeling down next to Lofty. "Alright Lofty, it's Zoe. You're going to be ok" she told him. He was lying on the floor flickering in and out of consciousness. "What happened to him?" She asked
Robyn stared at her in shock.
"Robyn" Zoe prompted, bringing Robyn out of her comatose state.
"Right sorry" she shook her head trying to clear it "He just started fitting then went unconcious."
"Ok alright, his pulse is steady and he's stable but we do need an ambulance."
At that point Max returned to the room "One's on its way" he told them.
"Good" Zoe said "Max my kit is in my bag can you pass it to me please"
"On it"
It wasn't long before the ambulance arrived. Zoe, knowing Lofty was ok, left the room trying to avoid being seen by anyone else.
"You've done a good job here Robyn" said Dixie after sje had assessed him.
"There was a doctor here" she explained a grin cheekily growing across her face.
"Who?" Dixie frowned
Robyn welcomed the encouragement and opened her mouth the answer but Max quickly jumped in to stop her revealing anything. "Nobody you know" he said
"Just Max's latest fling" Robyn said and Max bowed his head sheepishly as Dixie laughed at him.
"Are you sure we don't know her?" Tamsin asked as they carried Lofty downstairs on the stretcher.
"I'm sure" he replied forcefully causing Robyn to press her lips tightly together to prevent herself from laughing.
"Ok whatever you say" Dixie said eyesbrows raised as she saw Robyn's expression.
At the point Lofty eyelids fluttered open
"Lofty!" Robyn cried "You're ok, you're going to be ok" she told him.
"What happened" he asked looking around at the paramedics.
"Well you sort of collapsed and went unconscious"
"Right" he said then added "Why was Zoe here, she's not a paramedic?"
Robyn couldn't refrain from bursting out laughing any longer and Dixie and Tamsin stared at Max.
"No way" Dixie exclaimed, a smile breaking out over her face.
"She wan't here mate" Max said carefully "You must have been imagining things"
"He wasn't completely unconcious though" Robyn pointed out. Max glared at her, daring her to say anything more.
"Well I never" said Dixie as they lifted the stretcher into the ambulance.
"Why what's going on?" asked Lofty
"Nothing" Max replied
"Looks like it" said Tamsin
"Yeah, yeah" said Max "I'll see you later" he turned away leaving Robyn to go in the ambulance with Lofty. He was not looking forward to his shift this afternoon.
