Chapter 10:

Arthur woke up the to blinding light and the sound of machines beeping, he looked to his right and groaned when he saw Fletch sitting there. "Wakey wakey", Fletch said in a jokey voice except Arthur didn't find it funny. "What are you doing here?", Arthur croaked out. "Well after the little scare you gave us earlier, I'm here to make sure nothing bad happens", Fletch said.

Arthur was trying to work out what Fletch meant, but then it clicked and Arthur remembered everything. He mentally cursed himself at what had happened, how could he of been caught? However Arthur knew that now, no one would leave him alone. They would watch him, make him feel claustrophobic and constantly ask him questions. Arthur didn't know how he was doing to cope.

"Where's Dom and Zosia?", Arthur asked. "Oh they got called away had to go back and treat some patients", Fletch replied hoping Arthur would believe him. In actual fact, Dom and Zosia were in Mr. Hanssen's office telling him and Serena everything that had happened. "You try and get some rest mate", Fletch said and Arthur moaned. "How can I get some rest when I've got you watching me." Fletch sighed and carried on reading his newspaper.

"So we've heard Mr. Fletcher's version of events, now we need yours", Mr Hanssen said looking at Dom and Zosia. "Dr. Copeland you go first." Dom coughed and began. "Fletch came into Keller and asked me if I'd seen Arthur. I said no and then Fletch told me that Arthur had gone missing. We then left the ward and went to check Darwin to ask Zosia if he was there. She said no so we left and went to look for him, Zosia checked reception and I checked one of the spare rooms. That's where I found Arthur. I called in Fletch, then Zosia returned and she got a trolley, then the rest you all know", Dom said trying to keep himself composed.

"Thank you Dr. Copeland, you can go", Serena said as Dominic stood up and left, leaving Zosia to tell her story. "Miss March, would you like to tell us your account." Zosia nodded and began to speak.

"Dom and Fletch came into Darwin asking me if I knew where Arthur was. I said no because I hadn't seen him, so we all left and searched for him. As Dom said I checked reception while him ans Fletch checked the spare rooms. When I came back I found Arthur on the floor unconscious with a lot of blood coming from his arm, as Fletch and Dom tried to treat him. I got the trolley and then the rest you know", she said pretty pleased with her account of the event.

"Thank you Miss March, we will be sure to get back to you shortly", Serena said as Zosia left the room. She sighed and rubbed her head in her hands. "What do you think?", Mr. Hanssen asked her. "I know at heart he's a good doctor and at the minute he's a good doctor going through a tough time", she said. "What about you?", she asked Mr. Hanssen. "I agree, I don't want o sack him because then it looks like we have given up on him but at the same he's in a vulnerable state", he pointed out and Serena couldn't deny that.

"When is his next session with the psychologist?", Mr Hanssen asked. "In two days time", Serena said, "and at the minute we've got somebody watching him all the time." Hanssen nodded processing the information. "I want to move his session to this afternoon and can we stick to someone watching him, I don't care whether that's someone sitting in with him or keeping an eye on him through the window", he said and Serena nodded before walking out the door.

Raf walked past Arthur's room and stopped at the window signalling for Fletch to come out. Fletch put his newspaper down and walked out to talk to Raf. "How is he?", Raf asked and Fletch sighed. "Not good. He hates the idea of someone sitting in with him and I haven't even told him that Hanssen and Serena know because I don't know how he would react." Raf understood where Fletch was coming from.

"Look why don't you take a break and I'll sit in with him", Raf suggested, "maybe I could tell him about Serena Hanssen." Fletch nodded, "cheers mate", he said before walking off to get a coffee. Raf sighed pushing open the door, knowing that breaking the news to Arthur wasn't going to be easy.

Arthur woke up around 30 minutes later and was surprised to see Raf sitting to his right and not Fletch. He sat up and his stomach groaned. Raf smiled, "looks like you need some food." Arthur just nodded and lay back down, then before he knew it Raf had placed a sandwich and a drink in front of him.

20 minutes later and Arthur still hadn't touched the sandwich or the drink. "You've got to eat that, otherwise you're going to make yourself ill", Raf said and he thought he should break the news to Arthur be for Serena or Hanssen came to speak to him. "Look Arthur, I think you should know something", Raf said and Arthur sighed, "what?"

"Serena and Hanssen know exactly what's happened", Raf said and at these words Arthur began to panic. He would of almost certainly of lost his job and of been written off as someone who couldn't cope. Someone who was vulnerable, who was weak and someone who was so stupid that he self harmed.

Raf could see that Arthur was starting to panic so he decided to intervene. Arthur I need you to breath for me yeah, just breath, nice deep breaths", Raf said and he looked Arthur in the eyes and held Arthur's hand close to his chest. "Just breath like I am, deep breaths. No Arthur look at me, look at me, Arthur."

Arthur's body was shaking, he was scared, anxious, nervous, terrified, angry, annoyed upset, lots of different emotions that he didn't know how to deal with. The room was getting smaller, his thoughts were getting louder, his chest was getting tighter and all Arthur wanted to do was scream. He wanted to scream so loud that the windows cracked. Except he couldn't, all he could do was panic.

His vision was starting to blur and Raf was just a figure. Arthur had had enough. He ripped out his IV still breathing heavily and stumbling all over, his legs felt like they were going to give way. "Arthur no!", Raf shouted as he tried to stop Arthur. "Fletch!", he shouted and Fletch burst in, immediately rushing over to Arthur as tried to atop him was doing as more damage.

Fletch managed to get a hold of a struggling Arthur as Raf got his right arm, and Fletch had his left arm. Then Arthur did something totally unexpected, he broke down. He broke in Fletch's arms and cried. All Fletch could was hold him as Raf keeled down to comfort Arthur. Little did they know that Serena was watching the whole thing.
