Fear arose in Max's body. Zoe was gone. He ran down to reception and took the phone out of Louise's hand.

"Police please.

My girlfriends been kidnapped.

Max walker

Holby City Emergency department"

Max could hear voices all around him and yet he couldn't comprehend the words. His mine was racing. His heart rate was rocketing.

A hand touched his shoulder. He jolted. He turned around and lofty stood in front of him.

"Max. Max what's wrong. What's happened."

"I..t..s Zoe."

"What's Zoe. What's happened to Zoe."

"S..h..es gone."

"Gone where?"

"She been taken. My Zoe's been taken."

Max dropped to the floor. His body felt weak. Tears began to flow down his checks. At that moment the police entered the ED. The DCI spotted Max on the floor. She bent down and spoke to him.

"I take it your Max." She helped him to his feet and they followed Connie to her office.

Max sat down and the officers sat opposite.

"So Max tell us exactly what's happened."

"It's Zoe she gone. He's taken her."

"Okay calm down. Who's Zoe and who's taken her."

"Zoe's a doctor here and she's my girlfriend. And he's taken her. It's all my fault I should have told her. I should have warned her. It's all my fault. Zoe I'm sorry. Zoe my baby I'm so sorry."

"Max who's taken Zoe and do you know where."

"Do you think I'd be here right now if I knew where he'd taken her."

"Who's he"

"Tim."

"Tim ?"

"Timothy Cavalon."

"So you know Timothy?"

"Yeah we used to be friends at high school."

"And what happened."

"We fell out and now he wants to hurt me like i hurt him."

"What do you mean hurt him."

"He was in love with this girl and I ruined it for him or so he thinks. And now he wants to experience what he did. He's not sane and now he's got Zoe. What if he hurts her? There's blood in her office. What if she's dead? My Zoe my darling Zoe."

Max broke down.

The DCI was on the phone.

"Hello can we have a forensic team at Holby City hospital asap."

She put the phone down. And walked over to Max. He lifted his head slightly.

"Max we are going to do everything we can to find Zoe. Don't lose faith."

Max didn't know how to feel. But what he did know was that he now had to live fearing for Zoe's life. He knew what Tim was capable of and that's what terrified him the most. He would go to extreme lengths to get his revenge and if that meant hurting Zoe Max wouldn't put it past him.
