silence fell upon the crowd that had now gathered below the hospital no one knowing what to say as they all witnessed this scene. Raf and ric were now among those stood watching both of them worried for their two friends. From below all you could see was two figures holding hands while stood on the edge worry was in everyone minds hoping the unthinkable wouldn't happen. All major heads of departments were on stand by just in case they were called to help the situation.
Fletch soon ran over to where Raf stood shocked when he looked up and saw how it had changed since he had been up there.
"I left them god I should of stayed and tried to help somehow look at them now what's Bernie doing she said she was going to help I thought she would be the one to get Serena down not be standing next to her ready to jump." His emotions were all over the place two of his friends were in so much danger yet he couldn't do anything to help. He wished he had stayed.
"fletch you couldn't do anything more then raise the alarm." Raf tried to reassure him
"where are they anyway the fire crew should be here someone should be here to help how is standing here going to be any use what we all hoping to catch a glimpse of the action not wanting to miss out in case something does happen."
"There's a major fire just 5 miles away most crews are busy tackling that look we all know that the only person that can help Serena is stood right next to her. We all know Bernie wouldn't let any harm come to Serena she'd never forgive herself if it did and we are here in case something happens I'm not moving as if and I mean if then it's better there's a doctor out here who can get to them rather then be inside and have to run that would mean losing precious time." Ric spoke he was trying to keep his doctor head on rather then the concerned friend.
"I cant just stand here and watch like all these people I need to do something." Fletch knew there was nothing he could do to help he need to trust that Bernie would get them down safely.
"RIGHT LISTEN UP ANYONE WHO DOES NOT NEED TO USE THE HOSPITAL OR THAT ISN'T STAFF PLEASE VACATE THE AREA WE AREN'T WAITING FOR A CELEBRITY THERE ISN'T SOME BIG SHOW WE ARE HERE TO SEE SO MOVE IT NOW." Fletch shouted the crowd that had formed started to disappear until there was just a few nurses left waiting around.
"right now you can all see what we are dealing with however we need to be prepared for the worst case scenario so I want to trolleys out here waiting full neck and spinal boards and medical bags go and get someone from the ed as well our best people are the ones who need the help. Be as quick as you can and can someone page Mr Hansen again and get him to come out here." With that the nurses ran to get what they needed. No one knew what the outcome would be but fletch was right they needed to be prepared.
"Fletch look come stand here." Raf shouted to where he was stood a mere 40 yards away.
Fletch ran to where raf stood worry running through his whole body.
"look where they are stood on the roof."
"yeah what about it there what 6 stories up." As the spoke the words he realized what raf was saying he saw the building that was directly underneath them which was at least 3-4 stories high.
"the maternity ward is right in front of them if they did fall it would only be a 1-2 story fall at the max I know that in itself can still cause serious harm but its better then 6 Bernie must of seen that if not she wouldn't be stood on the edge would she."
Hope had now become to come into fletch and the rest of their heads.
"we need to get a ladder or find away to get access to that roof we need to be there or at least have a plan if something does happen fletch can you go and find security or someone and find away to get to that roof me and raf will stay here incase anything happens." Ric spoke urgently
Fetch didn't need telling twice as he went sprinting off towards the entrance.
Meanwhileinside AAU
Jasmine and Morven were inside the consultant office with Jason sat with them asking about 100 questions per second. Neither of them knew what was going on outside all that jasmine knew was the last time she saw Serena she was stood on the edge of the roof. She hoped that she was safe as much as these last few months had been hard she knew it was the real Serena she knew it was the grief that is why she had let it go on for so long.
"where is auntie Serena and Bernie there shift finished 15 minutes ago and all there stuff is still here why aren't they here."
"er well I..." looking to jasmine for help Morven was stuck from word she didn't know what to tell him.
"They have just been in theatre for a really long time and when they came out, and needed some air so they went for a walk as Serena hasn't been feeling well." Jasmine said trying to convince herself as she said it.
Jason sat there for a while trying to process what had just been said.
"so when are coming back as its fish and chips tonight and auntie Serena normally goes and gets them and they shut in exactly 1 hour 12 minutes."
"well Bernie did say that if they weren't back that she had some money in her bag that you could use and if you like mine and morvens shift is over I could go and get them and bring them here so we can all have some."
"but you don't know where it is and what I get what if you get it wrong." Jason started to get all worked up.
Jasmine reached over to the desk and grabbed a pen and a bit of paper. "here why don't you right down the address and what you normally order that way you can be sure that I know where I'm going and that I'm getting the right food." She said patiently hoping this would work.
Jason again thought about what had just been said before he accepted the pen and paper being offered to him and went in to great detail in explaining where the chippy was and exactly what they normally got.
"Do you think Auntie Serena and Bernie would like something or not?" He asked
"I'm sure they would like some for when they get back."
Again he set off writing when he was done he handed the paper to jasmine and the exact price it would all come to at the end he really was one of a kind.
"right I shall go and get that are you alright to wait here with Morven while I go and get it." She asked not wanting to upset him.
"yes don't worry jasmine I will be fine. Morven do you fancy playing a game of cards while we wait." He asked looking to Morven who was sat quietly in the corner.
"yes sure id love to play." Morven answered with a smile.
Jasmine was just about to leave when she realized she didn't have any money to pay for it and she didn't want to go rooting through Ms Wolfe's bag but she'd already told Jason Bernie was paying for them and she didn't want him suspecting something was wrong. Turning around she went back in the office only to get confused looks off both of them.
"I forgot to get the money that wouldn't of been a very good idea. Oh and Morven I didn't ask do you want anything I can pay for me and you."
Before Morven could answer Jason jumped in.
"I thought you said Bernie was paying why do you need to pay."
"well Ms Wolfe only said that there was money for you and Ms Campbell so I don't want to be going and spending her money on and Morven without her consent." She said before he got to suspicious.
"oh right well I guess that makes sense." With that he got back to shuffling the cards.
"I'll just have some chips I'm not really that hungry and ill give you some money but its in my locker ill pay you back later though"
"don't worry about it I'm sure I can afford some chips it will be my treat." With that she went over to Bernie side of the desk hoping she at least had some money otherwise Jason really would start to wonder. At first she tried looking in the draws incase she had put her purse in there but she had no look. Then she spotted a bag on the floor so she picked it up hoping there was some money in there.
She spotted a black purse lying at the bottom of her bag relieved that there was at least a purse she opened it but she stopped when she saw the picture that was in there it took all her willpower not to start crying not in front of Jason she thought. She quickly looked to see that there was a £20 note in there so she took it out making a mental note to make sure she put the change in. She said her goodbyes and made an exit hearing Jason Call out that she only had 50 minutes before they closed she looked down at the instructions on how to get there only to find out she knew exactly where it was she made her way to the car.
When she got outside she couldn't look up please she thought please say they weren't there anymore and that they were just talking but a safe distance away from the roof. She did the worst thing she could imagine she looked up only to see not just one person standing fairly close to edge she saw two but this time they were even closer and they were holding hands. What were they doing she thought why hadn't Bernie got them down. Before she got to worked out about she remembered the best thing she could do now was to keep Jason away from this and that meant not being too long with getting his food.
As she took one more look as she got in her car. One thing was going around
in her head please be okay please nothing happen while she was gone. With that she drove away.
