Kirsty's POV.
I refused to leave Adam's side as I waited for the Ambulance to arrive. I almost hoped that the St James' Crew came, but we were on the Holby patch, we were bound to get Jeff & Dixie. I'd have to explain about Warren...But at-least Adam would be getting the best-treatment in the Country.
"He deserved everything he got..." Warren said to me breathlessly, he was only just conscious himself.
"Urm, I don't think so Warren, Adam was just worried about Nita, he was worried that you were gonna hurt-her, just like you HURT-ME! And now you've hurt Adam too." I began, tears that I didn't think I could cry, now falling from my eyes. "I LOVE HIM WARREN. More than I Love-You, and you're just gonna have to deal with that Warren, 'cause I am NEVER going back to you. Do you hear-me?" The Paramedics had never had better timing as I heard a knock at the door. I could've sworn Warren would've attacked-me if they hadn't turned-up when they did.
I went and answered the front-door. As I suspected, it was Jeff & Dixie. They were shocked to see me at first. Only Adam, Charlie & Tess really knew where I lived out of the Staff at Holby, so it would have been a shock for the two-normally-cheery-paramedics to answer the door to Me, their friend and colleague, crying their eyes out, but they hadn't seen the state that Adam was in yet.
Dixie's POV.
"Kirsty? Are you Alright?" I asked-her as she led Myself and Jeff into the house, towards the Kitchen.
"Yeah...I'm fine...and Nita's fine, she's upstairs, it's just Warren and..."
"ADAM!" Jeff interupted Kirsty as he ran-over to his friend...OUR-Friend.
"Kirsty what's happened?" I asked-her.
"Adam...Adam can you hear-me?" Jeff asked as he bgean to check Adam over.
"There's been a bit of a...mis-understanding...between Warren and Adam..." Kirsty said, there was probably more to it, than just a simple-mis-understanding, but I would go-along with that for now.
"Okay." I said, quickly-nodding my-head twice at Kirsty before approaching Warren, whose breathing seemed to be all-over the place. I crouched-down next to the man and placed an oxygen-mask over his face.
"Alright There Sweetheart? Just try and stay calm for me Okay?" I said to the man, I had to stay Professional, despite the fact that Adam was un-conscious just a couple-of-metres-away from-me.
Kirsty crouched-down next to Adam. I was surprised that she wasn't supporting her husband, there must've been something going on between the two of them, everyone knew that they were close. And every-woman at the ED would try their luck with Adam if they could...
Jeff's POV.
Adam was in a bad-way, and I didn't have a clue what was going-on, but Kirsty was holding onto Adam's hand, and her Husband was being treated by Dixie at the other-end of the Kitchen. I placed an oxygen-mask onto Adam's face then inspected him for any wounds that he may have recieved during what appeared to be a fight-between Adam and Warren. There was a lot of blood around-him, which I assumed was his-own, but I had to see how serious his injuries-were to find-out how badly he was bleeding.
Rolling-up his t-shirt, I found a nasty-cut going across his side, and it appeared to be bleeding-badly.
"Jeff. Speak to me!" Kirsty insisted.
"Alright Kirsty, he's got a cut near his stomach, and it looks quite-deep, and there seems to be more cuts to his neck and face, and the back of his head. Do you have any-idea how any of this happened? Because I doubt Adam will remember..."
"No...I wasn't downstairs when it happened, I was upstairs with Nita...in her room. I had to make-sure that she was okay." Kirsty told-me.
"Jeff...how's Adam doing?" I heard Dixie ask as she called-across the Kitchen.
"Urm...Adam's not doing-so well Dix...we need to get-him-in pretty-damn sharpish." I told-her truthfully as I began to cover-up Adam's wounds so it was safe to move-him.
"Okay, well, Warren here has got a few cuts on his hands and arms, and a cut on his head, and he's struggling to breath-normally, but he's not critical." Dixie informed-me.
"Good. Well, I'll call another crew, and they can take Warren. Kirsty you can come-with-us and Adam if you want, or you can go with the other-crew and Warren, it's up to you. Okay?" I told Kirsty softly, before pulling-at the Walkie-Talkie, which was attached to my jacket, towards-my-mouth. "We need a second-crew at 1 Harley-Avenue. [Completely Made-Up.] It's Urgent." I finished before I ran to the Ambulance to get the stretcher.
Kirsty's POV.
It wasn't long until the Second-Ambulance had arrived, and Adam had began to show-signs of consciousness since-then. He was slipping in and out, but the occasional groan of pain was good-enough for me. Despite hating Warren, I was glad to see that he was walking to the Ambulance without-any-assistance, but that also meant that he would be watching-over Me and Adam once we got to the hospital, which was the last-thing that either of us needed right-now.
The other-crew led Warren to the Other-Ambulance as I helped Dixie and Jeff to strap-Adam onto the stretcher, then wheel him into their Ambulance. I took Adam's hand-once-again as he began to stay in consciousness for longer-periods of time. "I'm just going to get Nita sweetheart, I'll be back before you know-it, okay?" I told Adam, softly, and he squeezed my hand once as a response. I kissed the back of his hand then smiled-weakly at him.
"Wait for us okay?" I told Dixie and Jeff. "I'll barely be 5 Minutes, I promise-you." Jeff and Dixie both nodded in agreement before I then headed-out of the Ambulance, and into the house, then upstairs, and into Nita's room.
"Nita, come-with-me, we're going to the hosptial." I told-her gently, but tearfully, holding my hand-out to her, for her to take as she got-up off-of her bed then walked-towards-me, taking my hand as we ran down the stairs together, and outside.
"Do you want to sit in the front with me Nita?" Dixie Offered, and I smiled at my friend as a Thank-You.
Nita looked at me. "Are you gonna be okay with Adam?" She asked-me.
I smiled at Nita. "I'll be just fine, Nita. You don't need to worry about-me." I told-her tearfully as I placed a kiss onto the top of her head, into her hair.
"Okay." Nita agreed before getting into the front of the Ambulance. "Thank-You." She said to Dixie.
After watching Nita get into the front-of-the-Ambulance, I climbed-into the back then crouched-down next to Adam, and Jeff; who was treating-him. "I Love-You." I told Adam as I took his hand into mine once-again.
He was now in full-consciousness.
"You stay strong for me okay Darlin'." I whispered to Adam before I leaned-over-him and placed an extremely-light-kiss onto his lips. As I pulled-away, Jeff shot me a shocked-look.
"Are you two?..." He began to ask, but obviously wasn't going to finish the sentence, he must've been in shock, which wasn't surprising. I was shocked too when I first-fell for Adam.
I took a deep-breath-in and out, then replied to Jeff. "Yeah...Yeah we are...that's why the fight-started...but I'm gonna leave Warren...to be with Adam..." I revealed to Jeff...He didn't need to know anymore than-that...not for-now at least...
Zoe's POV.
The ED was fairly-quiet tonight, we had managed to clear Cubicles pretty-quickly, and there was just one-person in Resus, but he was going-up to the Wards pretty-soon. I was glad-about this because Nick was in a meeting, and Adam seemed to have disappeared into thin-air. Of-Course, there were always patients coming in and out of CDU and Cubicles, and despite it being quiet, it still would have been useful to have Adam around to lend a helping-hand. But little did I know back-then...
"ZOE." The voice of Kirsty called-me, and I immediately turned to face the entrance to the ED. I was pretty-sure that Kirsty's Shift had finished-hours ago? "We've got Adam." Jeff informed-me as him and Dixie wheeled Adam through the corridor. I immediately ran-over to the bed, as I heard the name of my best-friend being mentioned. "ADAM?" I asked in shock as I reached the bed.
"Okay, let's get-him into Resus, quickly." I took-over, and Adam was soon being wheeled through to Resus.
"Which Bed Zo?" Jeff asked-me.
"Uh, Number 3 please." I said, to give Adam some-space, away from the Other-Patient in bed Number-One.
"Was he unconscious at-all Kirsty?" I asked-her.
"Uh, Yeah, he was unconscious when I found-him, and only fully-woke-up once he was in the Ambulance." Kirsty told-me.
"And...Pain-Relief?" I asked, turning to Jeff.
"Urm, he's had 5mls of Morphine." Jeff informed-me.
"Mum. Is Adam going to be okay?" I heard Nita ask Kirsty.
"I don't know yet Sweetheart." Kirsty told-her, obviously getting stressed-out by everything as she saw Warren walk-past the doors with the other-paramedic crew just outside of Resus.
"Kirsty, I don't think this is the place for Nita do you?" I suggested.
"Uh, No...Dixie, could you take Nita to either Tess or Charlie for me please, and explain what's happened?" Kirsty asked Dizie.
"Yeah. Of-Course I will, Kirsty." Dixie replied to Kirsty with a sympathetic-smile.
Kirsty's POV.
Zoe turned her attention to Adam as he was un-strapped from the back-board, then moved-over onto the other-bed.
"Okay Adam, can you squeeze my hand if you can hear-me?" Zoe asked-him as she took his hand, and I was relieved to watch Adam squeeze her hand.
I then approached Adam's bed, the opposite-side to which Zoe was stood, and took Adam's hand into both of my own-hands. "I'm here Sweetheart." I whispered to him as Zoe checked-his eyes by shining a torch into them.
"Okay Adam, I'm gonna need to treat the wounds now, so sorry if this hurts a bit." Zoe told-him, and she began with the cut on his side. "Adam, can you remember how you got this?" Zoe asked-him as she inspected the wound.
Adam moved his free-hand then pulled his Oxygen-Mask away from his face. "Warren." He said breathlessly. "That's all I know."
"Okay Adam, well you didn't just get this kind-of cut from a punch-up alright? Did Warren have anything with him? A knife...or...something-sharp? Anything that could cause you to have this kind-of cut?" Zoe asked-him, but with no-luck.
"I don't know." Adam stated as he began to work himself-up about the whole-thing, but the pain didn't bother Adam as Zoe gently pulled the cut around slightly so she could see the damage a little-better. Adam was a strong-man.
"Come-On Sweetheart just think-about-it." I said to him softly, refusing to let go of his hand.
"Well we were in the Kitchen...it could have been anything..." Adam trailed-off, before he paused, but it wasn't just a pause, it was like he was thinking-about something. It was like he was remembering-something.
"Scissors." Adam whispered before he began to struggle to breath-again.
"Okay Ad, well-done." Zoe said as I placed the Oxygen-Mask back over his face.
"Well, there doesn't seem to be too much damage done. The cut is deep, but if the scissors had harmed anything inside, then Adam would be in un-bearable pain right-now, or he would still be un-conscious." Zoe told-me quietly before she turned to Adam. "You got a lucky-escape this time Mate." She joked with him, and Adam smiled, it was a relief to see that sweet-smile of his back on his face-again. "Obviously, we'll keep an eye on it, and we'll probably do an Endoscopy, just to check that I haven't missed-anything, but everything looks fine. I'll just bandage-it-up, and then we'll take a look at that head of yours okay?" Zoe told-us both before she began to clean-up the wound on Adam's Side.
