Murder scene
At the scene where the murder slash kidnapping took place where lots of law enforcement officials as well as ambulance department officials too, who were all wanting answers to many questions, everyone at the scene have un answered questions such as doctor Gallagher.
When Zoe arrives to the address she is met by Lorraine an ambulance officer who many of all saints staff have met and had run ins with her, so Zoe was shocked to see her but she knew Lorraine could answer her questions.
"Hey Lorraine, what have we got and where do you want me" asks Zoe walking up to the crime scene tape.
"hey doc follow me and mind your step, call came in 9:50 am by distressed neighbours saying they heard gunshots, they came to have a look and seen a lady on the floor bleeding, ambos arrived, then at 10:30 am they heard another gunshot, and they seen the ambulance officers come out with the trolley and load up and they sped off and that's all they seen" says Lorraine talking her through the timeline of events.
"Okay so who is this then" asks Zoe putting her things next to the deceased lady.
"Valerie Reilly gunshot wound to arm why we were called first time and then soon after the fatal shot came, she died instantly but we need the death certificate signed before the forensics guys take her" says Lorraine.
"Okay I don't see why you asked for a doctor" asks Zoe looking worried.
"When I arrived we found this lady dead but her wounds were patched up and she has a cannula in her right hand, meaning she had medical attention before she died, and then we spotted this" says Lorraine talking and pointing out the obvious evidence on the floor.
"Is that hers" asks Zoe.
"Not that we or they think, and this blood pool is separate from the women's and far away from her body, we think someone else was injured here as well" says Lorraine.
"So where is the other victim and who are they" asks Zoe.
"Look we asked for one of your lot down here because we need you to speak to Frank or your num" asks Lorraine
"Why" asks Zoe.
"Cate and heath responded to the first call, but ambulance operations lost contact with them at 10:15 am, and these are there radio's, we believe that they have been kidnapped and one of them is hurt" explains Lorraine.
"what and you think the blood belongs to one of them" asks Zoe in a shocked voice.
"yep and that's what the witnesses are saying, they say hat they seen two men wheeling out the trolley with an unconscious women lay on it with a collar on" says Lorraine.
"cate, you think cate was injured and you ask me here so I could get a DNA sample off her old file" answers Zoe figuring out the problem.
"if you could that will be great and ask them to send it to the crime lab for analysis please" asks Lorraine.
"yeah sure, here is the death certificate and I have to get back and tell everyone else but can you keep all saints informed of your outcomes please" asks Zoe preparing to leave the crime scene and head back to the hospital.

Frank campion walked round the ED busy trying to treat patients that are not his since he authorized one of his doctors to go out to a crime scene so it was only him and charlotte treating patients, since Sean was treating a patient in rescus, after wandering from one place to another he puffs a sigh of relief when Zoe walks through the door, but he senses something is wrong.
"Gallagher my office now" shouts frank ordering her to his office.
"Err wait a minute frank I need to speak to Gabrielle" says Zoe.
"Well tell her to come and join us then" says Frank.
"Ok, Gabrielle franks office now" answers Zoe and shouts Gabrielle to the office.
They all enter the office and both frank and Gabrielle sit at there desks waiting for the blonde doctor to start talking.
"so how did it go and why the long face" asks Frank.
"I signed the death certificate and I found out why we were requested" answers Zoe.
"okay so what is it" asks Frank.
"and why do you want me here" asks Gabrielle
"the lady who died she was shot first then killed awhile later, but the police are treating this as a kidnapping and murder" explains Zoe.
"What" asks Gabrielle?
"And who was kidnapped" asks Frank.
"The police believe the husband shot her first time for some unknown reason then he killed her in the presence of two ambulance officers, and know the ambulance officers, the ambulance and her husband are all missing" says Zoe
"Who attended the call" asks Frank getting de ja vu.
"Cate and heath" answers Zoe.
"Great and the past repeat itself" mutters frank earning a look from Zoe and Gabrielle.
"err there was a pool of blood that does not belong to the wife, and going from the witnesses statements we believe that cate was injured, ambulance operations asked me to ask you could you get a sample of cate DNA and send it to the lab to test and rule out cate's blood" asks Zoe.
"Err yeah sure I'll get onto it" says Gabrielle.
"So frank getting back to what you said, you just said the past repeats itself, what did you mean" asks Zoe probing for answers.
"A few years ago Cate and her partner at the time attended a call and ended up being held hostage by a meth crazed man, they found them in the end, and no one got seriously hurt" explains frank.
"Oh so some of you lot have experience" says Gabrielle.
"Oh I asked the ambos, to keep us updated, and maybe we should inform the staff, they might be worried" says Zoe.
"Yeah sure, I will do it meet me out there and gather everyone.
Zoe and Gabrielle gather all the doctors and nursing staff to the nurse's station, and soon their fearless leader was there to tell them what was going on.
"can I have your attention, I need to tell you something but please save your questions, but I will tell you that I received information that a few hours ago a mad man shot and killed his wife and now he has taken to ambulance officers hostage, now the people are cate McMaster and heath valega, I know we are concerned but we can't do anything yet so get back to work and I will keep you all informed of any progress" explains frank and then leaves to get on with work lie everyone else.
