"Cal?" Ethan said as he saw Dixie and Iain pushing his older brother on a trolley.

Dixie and Iain gave each other a nervous glance before explaining to Ethan what had happened.

"Okay, Cal was involved in RTC. KOd at the scene. Has a suspected neck fracture so we've put on a collar to stablise him. He's has a suspected head wound. He's had a line in, 1L of saline and 5 mg of morphine." Iain announced.

Bursting through RESUS they were met by Zoe, Rita, Robyn and Lily. Zoe saw Ethan come in beside the trolley. This wasn't how she wanted him to find out. Zoe heard him give instructions, but, he couldn't treat him. Not with him being a family member and all. By this time Connie had entered and saw the scene in front of her.

"Dr. Hardy." Came her stern voice. "You can't treat this patient."

"Please, I want to help." Ethan said as he tried to push pass Zoe.

"Ethan, you know the rules." Connie said.

"You let him treat me when I was involved in the crash."

"That was different."

"How was it different?"

"No other doctors were available at the time."

Ethan still wasn't listening. His brother needed help and he wanted to help him. Lofty had now taken over from Zoe while she and the others treated Cal.

"Come on, mate." Lofty said steering a worried Ethan away.

Ethan kept shaking his head. In the staffroom Lofty handed him a cup of tea. Ethan nervously fiddled with his glasses. This was one thing Ethan never imagined he'd see. Cal had always been the strongest out of the two of them. If anyone was clumsy it was Ethan, not Cal.

"Ethan?" Zoe said as she entered. "You can go in and see him."

Ethan nodded his thanks and left. Inside RESUS he saw Cal hooked up to machines, but at least he was stable and awake. Cal heard the doors opening and saw Ethan standing there.

"Nibbles!" He said as he tried to smile. "Sorry for worrying you like that. I don't know what happened."

"Was this you getting back at me for the car crash?"

"I wish." Cal chuckled.

"So you have no idea what happened?" Ethan asked.

"No. One minute I was driving and the next I wake up here at work." Cal replied.

"Why were you driving so early in the morning?"

"Um, I was late for work." Cal said trying to sound convincing.

"But, you're not in til later." Ethan told him not quite believing him.

"I thought I came in a bit early."

Ethan looked at him. He knew his brother was lying.

"Cal, that's not like you. Tell me what's really going on."

Cal knew Ethan knew he wasn't telling the truth, but how could he tell his brother they were both adopted? How could he tell him he had found their birth mum? Most of all, how could he tell Ethan they both could have inherited Huntington's?

"Nothing's going on." Cal soon answered. "I just wanted to come in early for a change."

"Cal," Ethan said. " I know you miss Matilda, so do I. But, drinking and then driving is not the answer. You could have seriously injured yourself or worse, someone else."

"Well, I'm glad you're so worried about me." Cal responded sarcastically. "How do you know I've been drinking?"

"I know you. That's what you do when you can't face your problems."

"Look, Ethan." Cal said starting to raise his voice. "It's not about Matilda. I've moved on, maybe you should too."

"If it's not about Matilda, then what is it about?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"I just can't!"

Ethan was getting annoyed with his brother. He knew Cal wasn't telling him something, but he just didn't know what. Quickly turning around, Ethan walked through the doors slamming them open as he did. Why did Cal have to be so infuriating?

"Ethan!" Cal said as he watched his brother walk out.
