The Story of Becky Chapter 2
Max, Zoe and the young girl were in cubicles,
"Hello can you tell me your name? Is there anyone you would like us to call for you?", Zoe was pulling gloves on, and preparing dressings for the girls cuts,
The young girl shook her head, Zoe and Max exchanged a look,
"Mum perhaps?", Zoe thought this might help her find out more information out about this mystery girl,
She shakes her head again,
"There is no one", the girl replied, she turned her head to look at Zoe in the eye, this was the first thing the young girl had said since entering the ED,
"Shall I call social services?", enquired max, looking at Zoe who looked back,
Zoe was about to speak,
"NO, no please don't, they will take me away", the young girl sat up looking scared between Zoe and Max,
"It's ok, we won't call them yet, but it would really help if we had a name", Zoe replaced the swobs which she was cleaning the yiung girls face,
"no", the young girl lent back into the pillows again,
"Shall I fetch your Dad?", Max looked at the girl, but was secretly watching Zoe work,
"No, please don't no, he will go mad if he sees me like this", the young girl was looking nervous again,
"Ok, well, the cuts on your face are all clean, and we'll check on you in a bit, back in a sec. Max", Zoe smiled the young girl and signalled with her one finger for Max to follow her. they went over to the nurse's station,
"Something doesn't add up", Zoe was frowning at Max,
"I'll go and check on the Dad", Max walked off after kissing Zoe on the cheek.
While this little romantic scene was happening, the young girl had left the cubicle and was making her way out towards to entrance of the ED. She had managed to make her way past the doors of the staff room when she noticed though the double doors, Max was talking to her Dad, when he spotted her.
"Do you mind, I need a word with the Doctor about my daughter, where is she?", the Dad was questioning,
"It's just though those doors and turn left", Max smiled at the Dad and the 2 men departed,
"What have you been saying?", the Dad went through the doors, grabbed the young girl and pinned her against the wall, shouting,
"Nothing, honest", the young girl was frightened,
"There will be concequences if you have", the Dad was really shouting now, and kicked the young girl in the stomach,
"Excuse me, what's going on?", Zoe rushed over, along with Connie, Max had also her the comosion and came though the doors, just in time, the Dad went for the girl again, but….
"Oh NO you don't, come with me NOW", Max restrained the Dad and took him away with security,
"It's ok, I's Dr Zoe Hanna remember me", Zoe stood and placed a hand on the girl's right shoulder, the girl holding her right side,
Max came back and the girl was scared. She became breathless and wobbly,
"Z…O…..E..", the girl was trying to speak, but her breathing was getting faster,
"It's ok, Max can I have a trolley please", Zoe looked at Max and he ran to find a trolley, then the girl grabbed Zoe's other arm,
"oowww, ok take it easy, lean on me", Zoe held an arm round the girls back, the girl leaning into Zoe,
"Help…me", the girl's legs nearly fell over,
"Ow, Don't worry I will, but it would really help me if I had a name, just for me, not to call anyone I promise", Zoe was looking at the girl who looked back, then Max arrived with the trolley,
"Sit down, behind you", Zoe helped the young girl on to the trolley, she was still breathless,
The girls exchanged a look,
"You can tell me, I won't call anyone, not unless I really have to", Zoe was covering the girl with the blanket and Max pushed the trolley to resus,
Zoe and Max entred reception which lead to resus, but her Dad was not far away,
"Becky, wait, where are you taking her, I wanna know", the Dad was trying to stop the team from treating the girl,
"Are you Becky? Keep going Max", Zoe let Max go into resus with Becky.
"Sir, I know your worried about your daughter", Zoe had to stop him by putting out her arm,
"But she is having trouble breathing at the moment and we need to assess her injuries which you could have made WORSE, so I suggest you go and wait in reception", Zoe was shouting towards the end of her sentence and didn't realise Max was stood behind her,
"Dr Hanna, patient", Max popped his head outside resus,
"Yeah, I'm coming", Zoe looked at the Dad who was walking back to reception.
