Dixie and Iain were called out to an RTC minutes later. Jumping out of the ambulance they were met with a scene of horror. Two cars had smashed into with each. One of them had the bumper completely destroyed. That car was their main priority. Running over with their equipment the two paramedics began their assessment.

"Hiya, mate…." Dixie suddenly stopped. "Ethan? Ethan, can you hear me? It's Dixie."

"What's going on?" Iain asked climbing into the back.

"It's Ethan."

Iain still stabilising his neck peered round.

"Is he conscious?"

Dixie felt for a pulse. It was faint.

"Right, we need to get him out of here. If we don't then he's going to arrest."

Dixie called for the fire crew to help remove Ethan from the damaged car.

"On my count. 1,2,3 and lift." Dixie ordered.

Having managed to place Ethan on a trolley, Iain suddenly could feel a pulse.

"He's got no output." Iain shouted.

Iain began chest compressions as he and Dixie ran to the ambulance. Iain jumped into the back while Dixie wasted no time in racing off to the hospital. Pushing the ambulance doors open the two paramedics were met with Connie, Lily and Lofty. Connie didn't need to ask them who was on the trolley. They saw the minute the trolley was rolled out of the back with Iain frantically doing chest compressions.

"Let's get him into RESUS immediately." Connie instructed.

"Ethan was trapped at the scene. KO'd and went into cardiac arrest as soon as we got him out. He's been unresponsive for the past 30 minutes" Iain explained as he continued to press of Ethan's chest and they rolled into RESUS.

"Right, I need full chest x-ray, CT scan. 2 litres of saline, 2 units of blood and 4 units crossed matched. And can someone find Cal" Connie ordered as everyone raced around trying to save Ethan.

Back out in cubicles Cal was busy treating a patient. He was unaware of what was happening in RESUS. He had finished stitching up the head wound when the curtains were draw back rather roughly.

"Cal…. Need you in RESUS." Lofty managed to say.

"You alright?"

Lofty shook his head. He was still panting trying to catch his breath.

"Lofty, what is it?" Cal said impatiently.

"It's Ethan." Lofty spluttered out.

Cal didn't even excuse himself from his patient. He just rushed out of cubicles and ran towards RESUS. He wasn't watching where he was going and accidently bumped into Charlie on the way.

"What's the hurry?" Charlie asked putting his hands out in front of him to stop Cal from tripping over.

"Can't talk now, Charlie. I need to get to RESUS. It's Ethan."

"Cal, okay, you need to calm down. And you know the rules. No family members allowed."

"Please, Charlie. I need to see him. I need to know how he is."

"Why don't we just wait to hear news in the staffroom."

Cal wasn't going to stand around waiting. He pushed past Charlie and straight to RESUS. Bursting through the doors it was chaos. Lily was busy doing chest compressions while Connie was looking at an iPad. Presumably, with Ethan's CT scan results.

"Connie, what happened?" Cal asked .

"Cal, you can't be here. Go to the staffroom." Connie instructed.

"No. I want to stay."

"Dr. Knight, staffroom now." Connie demanded.

"No. I'm staying. Please let me stay. Just tell me, how bad are his injuries."

Before Connie could respond the machines went erratic.

"Right, he's in asystole. I need 5 mg of atropine." Connie ordered as Lily began CPR.

The atropine was injected. Lily continued pressing on Ethan's chest. Cal watched on in dread as he ran his hands through his hair. He couldn't believe he was watching his brother die in front of his eyes. He knew he shouldn't have let Ethan drive earlier on. He could see he was in no fit state and he should have insisted he'd take him home. But, he hadn't. He just let Ethan drive home by himself. Now looked what had happened. Ethan could die and it would be his fault.

"No, no, no." He shook his head. "Come on, Ethan. Don't you do this. Don't you dare die on me. Not now. Not when I have something to tell you." He whispered.

By now Lily had stopped CPR and Connie was feeling for a pulse.

"Anything?" Lily inquired.

"Not output." Connie said sadly.

Lily carried on with the CPR.

By now Lofty and Max were by Cal's side looking on but, at the same time trying to get Cal to come with them to the staffroom. Cal wouldn't budge. He wouldn't go until he knew Ethan was alright.

"Come on, mate." Lofty said quietly. "There's nothing you can do."

Cal continued to shake his head and shrugged their hands off him. Seeing Cal wouldn't leave until Ethan regained an output, Lofty and Max remained at his side. Another hour later and the machines showed no signs of a pulse. Connie placed her hand on top of Lily's. Cal came away from standing between Max and Lofty.

"Connie, what are you doing? You can't give up on him. Please you've got to keep trying." Cal urged tears forming in his eyes.

"Cal, I'm very sorry. But, he's had no output for the last 2 hours. His injuries were severe." Connie told him sympathetically.

"No, you've got to carry on." Cal said desperately. "Please, you've got to save him. You've got to save my brother."

Cal looked at Connie then at Lily pleading with them to carry on with the CPR. Lily looked at Connie.

"Connie, we've got to at least try." Lily said.

"Lily, we've done everything we can. There's nothing else we can do." Connie repeated.

Cal wasn't having any of this. Ethan was his little brother. He was all the family he had left. He was not about to lose him. Seeing how desperate and distraught Cal was about losing him, Connie reluctantly gave in.

"Right, can I have 5 mg of adrenaline. Lily continue with the CPR." Connie said as the drug was administered.

Lily carried on with the CPR for another 30 minutes. 30 minutes later and Connie replaced two fingers against
