It was early morning and Sam was just heading into work for her shift. Tom had the morning off. She left a note on the bedside cabinet saying she'll see him later, as she was about to place her jacket into her locker she heard a ringing, she quickly took out her phone and answered the call 'Doctor Nicholls speaking' she said.
'Hi there Doctor Nicholls it's Mark Townsend, the barrister for your brothers court case' he spoke. 'Yeah I remember, what's the problem?' Sam asks 'Three of the lads responsible have entered they're pleads of guilty, but two have pleaded not guilty' he explained.
'Will that have an affect on the case?' Sam asks. 'it maybe a bit harder then we first thought to secure a conviction but I can promise you Miss Nicholls we will do what we can to make that happen' he explained. 'Thanks for letting me know' Sam says.
'There's just one more thing. How is Adam coping with all of this? Is he still wanting to give evidence in court? He can always appear via video link should he change his mind, he will not have to face the defendants in court' he asked.
'I'm not sure. I'll speak to him this afternoon, I've got to go now but I'll call you back once I've spoken to Adam' Sam says and she hangs up closing her locker with a bit too much force than expected. It slammed shut causing the rest of the other lockers to shake.
Before she got on with her day, before she even knew it, it was almost lunch. The ED had been rather quiet nothing too serious to take her mind of the court case, it was times like these when she wished a major accident would come through anything to keep her busy. Her wish may have been granted as the red phone began to ring and Sam was quick to answer it
'So how many casualties?' she asked writing it down.
'Okay thanks' and she hung up, she looked at the time, her shift was almost over but she couldn't turn her back on this call. After all she had asked for something to happen and she did, she quickly changed into her doctor overalls before meeting Jeff and Iain at the ambulance bay
'You with us kiddo' Jeff says looking at Sam
'Looks that way' Sam says
'It's good to see you Sam' Iain tells her
'Yeah you to, can't sit and chat. Got to go save some lives' Sam says as the ambulance pulls out of the bay
The drive to the accident was a silent and uncomfortable one between Sam and Iain. But they soon arrived at the scene.
'Bloody hell, this is bad…'
