Getting to his ambulance car wasn't such a problem. No that had been the easy part. He opened the door of the passenger side and seated Chloe into it. Then he gently shoved her more to the side, so he could sit next to her.

Chloe had stopped crying and sobbing by the time they he had opened the door of the ambulance car. Her breathing was still eradic and she hick-uped ramdomly. Her face was flushed, her eyes puffy red and her nose was rosy and slightly running now. But Davis thought he had never seen a woman more beautiful than her. Even now.

She sat there silently and then turned her head toward him. He was watching her and wondered if she would have another fit, but to his surprise she looked up at him only with a pitiful face. She bit her lips so they wouldn't tremble, her eyes were glazing over and he knew that she was trying hard not to cry again, and her brows furrowed while her face held an agonized expression.

Without hersitation Davis extended his arm to her, and rested his hand on her shoulder. It seemed that this was all the invitation she had needed, because she flung herself at him and barried her face in his chest, wheping noiselessly. All the while he stroked her hair affectionately and tried to ignore the creeping guilt that he had caused her to hurt like this.

Eddy, his partner, hadn't been there when he had entered the ambulance car. So when his co-worker entered the car and sat at the driversseat, to announce that he got them the best pie there was out here, he had made a surprised face when he spotted a girl cling to his partner. He had no idea of the drama that had taken place just minutes, moments before, so he snorted at the sight of a girl in his car and said jokingly.

"So where is the coffee you wanted to buy, eh? What exactly do I do wrong, if I only get coffee and you a girl…"

Davis gave him a silencing glare, and Eddy heard a sniff coming from the girl. His playfulness was reduced to a serious silence, and he turned back to the road and drove they vehicle out of the parking area.

They continued on in silence, until Eddy gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white. They had originally planned to drive the car back to headquarters because their shift was finally finished. Davis had convinced him that he wanted the world's best coffee before that which happened to be in a small coffee shop called the 'Talon'.

Eddy realised that that had probably only been an excuse for Davis to check on this girl, who was now with them in the car. His mind whirled around at the reasons of why she was crying, and being the old paramedic he was, his imagination conjured up possible scenarios ranging from a violent abusive boyfriend, fight between peers, to trivial things in life like a lost job.

He cleared his throat and said. "So where to now, Davis? Should we head to headquarters or do you want me to let you out somewhere along?"

Davis shook his head gently, as to not disturb Chloe. He had noticed that her sobbing had once again ceased. He knew she was awake. Her hands clutched his shoulders when he tried to pull her back once, so he left her were she was. Her face was still nestled in his shirt at his chest.

"Could you drive us to my flat?"

"Sure kid" was all Eddy said as continued to stare out onto the road.
