'That has to be the single most terrifying thing I have ever done' Tom announced once his feet touched the carriage.
'Says the man that arrived in the helicopter, what? You think I've forgotten?' Sam said, the fact that Tom was scared of heights highly amused her. She couldn't help but smile to herself.
'Well at least I don't have a childish fear. I'm not scared of the dark!' Tom retorted.
'Tom that was a bit uncalled for. You know my reasons behind it' Sam told him in a cold tone.
'No it wasn't uncalled for. You were making fun of my fear of heights so I made fun of yours. If you can't take. Don't give' he told her.
'Sorry to interfere with your lovers tiff, but the pain in my legs is getting worse' Mikey cried out. This brought Sam and Tom back to the attention that they had patients to attend to.
'I'm going to give you some ketamine, it may make you seem out of it, but it's a very good painkiller' Tom announced.
'I don't care what it's called. Just give me the damn thing' Mikey said. As the pain in his legs got worse.
'They always arrive when the hard works nearly done!' Sam sighed when she noticed the fire crews arriving, before she winced. Tom noticed.
'You okay?' he asked in a concern tone. Noticing her wince.
'Fine. It's just my knee' Sam replied. Not wanting to tell him, she took a tumble. But he probably heard her yelp anyway.
'So are you two an item?' Mikey asked looking at the pair.
'No' both Sam and Tom said at the same time
'Aw that's a shame, you'd be great together' Mike said he had noticed these two doctors, they were bickering like a married couple.
'You think so?' Tom asked him.
'Yeah I do' Mike replied.
'I've been there, done that. Worn the t-shirt' Sam replied interfering with the gentleman's conversation just as a fire officer approached
'What part of waiting for us. Do you doctors not get?' he asked as he looked at the pair.
'If we had waited for you to arrive we may have had a carriage of dead bodies to deal with.' Sam replied in a sarcastic tone.
'Less of the sarcasm lady' the fire officer said.
'Whatever. So you going to get Mikey out here or are you going to stand there all day doing nothing?' Sam asked in the same cocky tone.
'We need to secure this first' the fireman replied looking at the track.
'I'm sorry but mate if I and my colleague can abseil down the track. I'm pretty sure it can handle a bunch of fire crew' Tom said. Hearing this fireman had to agree.
'So who's first?' he asked looking at the carriage
'Mikey. He's stabilised. But is complaining of loss of sensation in his legs so when you remove this bar. You're going to have to be very carefully. The same goes for Milo here' Sam explained pointing to the lad next to Mikey.
'And what about the rest of the kids?' the fire man said.
'Most of them are minor injuries, Mikey and Milo are our priority' Tom explained.
'Ok, well you two can abseil back up the track. And you can leave the rest to us' the fire officer replied.
'Are you kidding?' Sam said. Not really sure she had the strength to climb up the track. With her knee.
'Do I look like I'm joking?' the fire officer said, his tone thick with sarcasm
'Fine' Sam rolled her eyes. Before she reconnected herself to the abseil, and off she and Tom went. It took them less then half an hour to reach the top. And once more Sam winced.
'What happened to you?' Tom asked as he noticed her pain.
'I told you. It's nothing' Sam replied not wanting the fuss.
'It's clearly not nothing. Come on Sam this is me your talking to' Tom replied.
'Fine. I misplaced my footing on the abseil down, and smacked my knee on the track. There you happy now?' she asked not looking at him.
'Want me to take a look?' he asked.
'No. but I could do with some pain relief though' she replied.
Tom rolled his eyes before reaching for a needle that contained morphine.
'You may feel a sharp scratch' he announced.
'Yeah, Yeah' Sam replied sarcastically
'Five of morphine. Going in' he said and he injected the needle.
'That cuts going to need stitching when we get back' came Jeff's voice as he saw Sam and Tom. And the now dried blood on Sam's forehead.
'I've had far worse' Sam replied. Before the pain in her knee was wearing off. It meant the morphine had kicked in. she hoped it wouldn't wear off until she got to the E.D. as she got back to her feet, she could see Mikey and Milo on a stretcher each.
'I'll go with Mikey, you go with Milo' Sam told Tom who nodded. Sam climbed into the back of the ambulance. Jeff closing the doors behind her. And they set off
'You're an idiot you know' Mikey told Sam.
'Excuse me?' Sam said.
'You and that doctor. You're an idiot, he didn't take his eyes off you' Mikey told her. He had noticed that.
'I think that's the ketamine talking' Sam replied.
'nah. I'm serious. When a man is in love, you see it in his eyes. He loves you' Mikey told her.
'I think you're mistaken' Sam replied.
'If you say so, but I know I'm right' Mikey replied. Before they arrived at the E.D
Jeff opened the doors and it revealed Zoe, Fletch, Ash and Tess waiting at the doors.
'So what have we got?' Ash asked.
'This is Mikey, involved with a rollercoaster accident, he's had ten of ketamine and five of morphine. Loss of sensation in both legs. Unconscious but briefly. Tom is on his way in with another lad Milo.' Sam informed the guys,
'Right thanks Sam. Let's get him straight into rhesus' Ash explained. As Sam limped behind. Once she saw Mikey being taken into rhesus. She headed to find herself a vacant cubicle to see the extend of the injuries to her knee. She found it, before pulling the curtain around her before slipping onto the bed and undid her boots before doing up the green overall to see the extend of her knee. It was swollen, and the bruising was already fast appearing when the curtains opened and it revealed Fletch.
'Ouch that looks nasty, looks like somebody's been in the wars this afternoon' he said. As he saw it.
'I've had worse' Sam replied.
'Well Zoe sent me to check on you, and to stitch that head wound' Fletch informed her.
Sam sighed, before remembering what Zoe had said before she and Tom had left. The argument.
'Everything okay between you and your wife? Zoe mentioned you guys have had an argument' Sam asked.
'It was over nothing' Fletch replied, clearly not wanting to talk about it. So Sam left it before he got what he would need to stitch Sam's wound.
Before the cubicle opened once more and this time it revealed Scarlett. She looked at them both. 'Well isn't this cosy' she said.
'Scarlett I'm treating a colleague here, can it wait?' Fletch asked.
'Fine. Ten minutes Adrian' Scarlett said before she left, leaving Fletch and Sam to it.
Just as Tom arrived with Milo and he too was taken to rhesus. Tom decided to fetch himself a drink. Without looking where he was going he knocked into Scarlett.
'I do apologise' Tom said
'Its fine' Scarlett replied before Tom looked at her again.
'Scarlett? Is that you?' Tom asked
'Tom? Tom Kent, my god it's been a while!' Scarlett said.
'You're telling me! How have you been?' he asked.
I've been good, how about you? Made it as a doctor I see?' she asked looking at him.
'Yeah, I have, listen fancy grabbing a coffee. I think we both need to catch up' Tom said.
'Maybe another time yeah? I'm waiting for Adrian' Scarlett informed him.
'Adrian, as in Fletch?' Tom asked
'Yeah. He's my husband' Scarlett informed Tom
'You're kidding! Wow!' Tom muttered.
'You know what actually getting a coffee seems a good enough idea' she said looking at Tom.
'Alright I'll show you the way to the canteen' Tom informed her and they both headed in the direction
A/N: so what connection do you think Tom and Scarlett have? :))
