Disclaimer: I don't own Casualty and it's probably a good job I don't, the show would be a complete and utter mess solely focusing on approximately 4 characters. I do own one aspect of this story; Henry, he is completely made up, by me, so he is mine! Back off!

Today Rita was upstairs, pediatrics intensive care had called down at the beginning of her shift asking for staff as they were seriously understaffed and just so conveniently no one else was available. Her time upstairs had gone relatively well until some teen with a vengeance for the ED had decided to turn the waiting room into his own firework practice arena, luckily no one was hurt and the department had been evacuated but fire soon broke out calling for a full hospital evacuation. Unluckily for Rita though, her patient, a 6 year old boy named Henry was too sick to move and her morals wouldn't let her leave him, so she was stuck, on the top floor, alone with Henry.

A/N: So this is just an idea of mine that was slightly inspired by watching The Day After Tomorrow earlier today, please let me know if anyone would like this to be written as a one-shot/story etc. Obviously, the main character is Rita but I would like to make this into a pairing story in the future, so which pairing would you like to see, I was thinking FreeChamp but part of me still wants to cling to the hope of Riain. Let me know by leaving a review...

Sorry for the long AN, leave a review, let me know what you would like to see or else I am left to my own devices and that can be disastrous.
