Chapter 4

Cal hadn't really processed the information and went chasing after his brother. Ethan was in the staff room having a quick drink of water.

"Ethan, what happened with Zoe?" Cal asked, he didn't really want to know but he knew that he needed possession of the facts so he knew what to tell Max.

"She caught some flying debris in the neck so she is having trouble with her air way and needs to be checked on quite regularly," Ethan told Cal, he wore a frown and spoke in a sad tone, "she's going to be unwell for sometime but she will get better."

"Thanks Eth, I need to go and sort out an X-ray but I'll see you later," and with that Cal left his little brother and went to get Max booked for an X-ray.

After a few minutes Cal strutted forward towards Max's cubicle. He was dreading telling Max the news but knew it needed to be done. Cal swiftly pulled back to curtain that revealed a bored looking Max.

"So, I've booked you for an X-ray and a porter will be along soon to take you," Cal said reading through the notes. He just couldn't bring him self to look Max in the eye, he knew how much Zoe meant to Max.

"What about Zoe?" Max asked. Cal sighed internally, he knew that Max would ask that he just couldn't tell Max, not his friend, not now, but he had to.

She is in ITU but don't panic, ok? She caught some debris in her throat but she will make a full recovery, she WILL be ok Max," Cal told his friend, Cal himself was close to tears. It was not usually this bad, be he was talking about his friends not strangers.

"Thanks for telling me Cal," Max said in as steady a voice as he could manage but Cal could tell that this hit him hard. Max's world had just crumbled, broken into a million different pieces, he was lost. Cal gently rubbed his shoulder and left the cubicle.

"Lily! Who else is there?" Cal asked as he walked out of Max's cubicle and spotted sight of Lily.

"You can have Charlie who's in RESUS 2, he has an open fracture on his arm and partial thickness burns on his chest from protecting Tess from one of the explosion," Lily said and handed Cal some just nodded and made his way towards RESUS 2. Charlie the hero, Cal never would have thought. Well he did always think of Charlie are the caring and father like figure in the ED. When Cal entered RESUS Charlie's injuries were as clear as Lily as has told him.

"Can we cling film his chest and get five of morphine for the pain," Cal said returning to full doctor mode. Charlie would have to go to surgery to get his arm fixed.

Cling filming Charlie's chest proved a challenge but after ten minutes and a lot of frustration Charlie was good to go up to surgery.

"Can we get the surgeons down her ASAP okay?" Cal asked but everyone knew it was a statement. "You know what's going to happen so I'm not going to bore you but you are going to be ok," Cal told Charlie.

"I thought you said you weren't going to bore me?" Charlie joked. Sometimes Cal was envious of how Charlie seem to lighten a mood just by saying a few words.

"With that thought, Cal patted Charlie on the shoulder and walked out of RESUS. Cal spotted his brother and just smiled. Ethan was in his elect looking after people had always been Ethan's strong point, Cal was never very good at it. Ethan had just finished with his patients and walked off towards a secluded corridor.

Then all of a sudden a explosion rocked to whole ED. You could here people scream and panicked cries. But Cals eyes stayed fixed on the corridor Ethan had just walked down.
