Chapter 11 – Judgement day (Part 1)

Friday

5am: Zoe woke up early. Not being able to sleep at the thought of the day ahead of her. She prayed that nothing would go wrong and that Guy would just leave the department as it was. She decided to get up and sort herself out as she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore.

In the hospital Connie had just finished treating a patient. She went into the office and noticed Sam had cleared away all the food and rubbish from earlier. He was upstairs in the on call room getting some sleep after she told him to as they both needed to be ready to support Zoe today. Connie knew about everything, but she was the only one besides Max who did. Looking at the time she knew she needed some sleep.

Tess was arriving and noticed Connie leaning against the desk. "Heya, go and get some rest for a couple hours. I'll come and wake you when we need you back down here." She smiled before leaving the nurse standing in the ED and heading upstairs. Connie quietly opened the door to the on call room and saw Sam fast asleep still. She smiled remembering how he looked when he slept. She walked further into the room, closing the door behind her and slipped off her heels.

"What time is it?" Connie turned around and saw him leaning up looking at her "5:30, sorry I didn't want to wake you." He smiled "It's fine, you need to sleep though. Come here." At first she stopped herself, but then walked over to the bed. After all she came up here knowing he was in here so part of her wanted to just lie down and sleep next to him.

6am: Rita and Dylan were getting ready to go into work as they were heading in before Zoe to help sort the department out for the rest of the day. "What do you think this is all really about? Guy coming into the department. Zoe's been working her arse off for the past few weeks, and for what Guy to stick his nose in again." Dylan shrugged as he sat down next to Rita "I don't know. All I know is Zoe's going to need all of us today and that's what she'll get."

7am: Maggie, Charlie, Ethan and Cal arrived in the department and straight away began treating the few minor injury patient's waiting in reception.

"Hey Charlie, is everything alright out here?" Tess walked over to the other nurses' and checked how cubicles were looking. "Everything is running smoothly so far. I hope it doesn't get too busy today." Tess nodded as she noticed Rita, Dylan, Robyn and Lofty wander in. "Morning Tess!" Rita chirped as she wandered by into the staffroom.

Once Rita sorted herself, her and Tess called all the nurses into the staffroom. "Okay guys, until Dr Hanna arrives this morning let's just keep the cubicles as free as possible. Make sure you're always acting professionally today, I know sometimes we all have a joke but with Guy walking round today let's not give him any reason to complain!" Tess finished speaking as Rita began. "Okay guys look, if anything major comes in then Robyn, Lofty and Jay I need you guys to keep on top of everything in cubicles. Let's make this as easy for Zoe as possible."

8am: Zoe was sitting in bedroom finishing her hair and make-up when Max sat up in the bed behind her. "You okay this morning?" Zoe finished her make-up and looked at Max in the mirror "Yeah, I'll be alright." She looked at herself in the mirror again as she felt Max standing behind her. "I'm here for you Zoe, and so is everybody else. Just don't panic today, it's a normal day." She turned around and stood up kissing Max before they both finished getting ready to leave.

Maggie was finishing with a patient when she bumped into Tess. "Have you seen Connie this morning?" Tess had forgotten to wake her up when people began arriving this morning, but they hadn't been too busy. "She's asleep in the on call room, I'll go and wake her in a minute." Maggie nodded "It's okay I'll go up and get her." She smiled and turned from Tess heading upstairs. She knocked on the door lightly and noticed Connie asleep in Sam's arms still. She woke Sam up carefully "Sorry, we'll need you downstairs soon." She smiled apologetically towards Sam. "It's alright, we'll be down in a bit."

After a few minutes Sam carefully moved his arms from around Connie and stood up. He had a clean shirt in his bag so decided to change while she was still sleeping. He locked the door so that nobody walked in and began to change. He heard Connie moving behind him and turned to see her awake "Morning sleeping beauty… We need to head down in a bit." She sat up for a minute before walking towards Sam who opened his arms up to her. "Thanks for last night Sam." He didn't answer but just kissed the top of her head instead. "I better finished getting dressed in case anyone comes up to wake you."

She smiled and moved backwards letting him do up his shirt. "Do you need anything?" Connie shook her head "I bought my things up here before I told you to get some rest last night. She quickly stepped out of her clothes and put on the dress she'd bought with her. Putting her heels back on and brushing her hair quickly she looked at Sam who had picked up the few bags and opened the door for them.

8:45am: Zoe and Max wandered in to her office and dumped their bags before quickly turning back out into the ED. She looked over and realised everything was already sorted for the day. Rita and Dylan were waiting by the computer smiling at the relief they saw on her face. Connie and Sam wandered down the stairs together after having gotten changed. "I'll stick these in my locker and get it out at the end of the day for you." Connie smiled as she walked towards Zoe. "You ready?" Zoe nodded "As I'll ever be…"

10am: Guy Self walked into a busy ED which was incredibly well organised for Holby. Rita was talking to a few nurses, while others were taking their patients from reception through to cubicles. It looked like they had a good order to everything that was happening.

Dylan and Rita were working together in resus with a young boy who had been involved in a minor car accident. Maggie was clearing the board of the patients who had been moved to other wards upstairs by Max and the other new porters.

Connie was completing some patient notes as she noticed Guy from the corner of her eye. "Morning Mrs Beauchamp. I see things are ordered this morning, part of your doing?" Connie couldn't stand this man but turned towards him anyway. "Actually no this wasn't. Funnily enough it was down to the team that work here together." Connie turned back to her paperwork and finished signing the forms for discharge.

Zoe came out of the office and saw Guy was in cubicles with Tess and Charlie. "Guy." Zoe walked towards him and he turned to see her. "Dr Hanna, nice to see you this morning. Everything seems to be running well this morning." She nodded and turned to Jay who had just walked up to her. "5 patient's on their way in. 2 children who are quite distressed. The roof caved in at a dance hall where there were a few classes happening. Majority out fine, we're getting the serious cases while minors are being sent to St James." Great.

11:30am: "Okay Dylan can you take the first with Charlie please." The two men left to meet Iain at the ambulance. "Connie and Cal can you take the first child that arrives please, Rita and Maggie can you get the second. Sam and Ethan take the next patient, Tess with me please." Guy watched as Zoe made the arrangements for various doctors to deal with the incoming casualties. "Resus bay 2 please Iain. Connie can you take bay 3, Sam 4. Maggie can you take the side room next to resus, Tess we'll have to go next door to that."

1pm: The department was in organised chaos with the new arrivals. Guy had been breathing over Zoe's shoulder all morning and wouldn't give her any space to work. "Okay let's get him moved upstairs to ICU please." One of the new porters moved him upstairs and Zoe went into resus to check how everyone was doing.

"Connie, how's she doing?" The little girl appeared calmer than when she had arrived. "Good, we're ready to move into cubicles now." She smiled at the clinical lead reassuring her that everything was fine. Max sauntered into resus with a wheelchair for the young girl. "So who's the special girl that gets a ride in this crazy thing." The little girl sat grinning from the bed and was helped down by Connie before sitting in the wheelchair. "You ok?" Max looked at Zoe and moved slightly closer to her. "I'll be alright, yeah." He moved forward and kissed her quickly before holding onto the wheelchair again "Right let's take you for a spin."
