In Hope?

Chapter 25

Adam was sat in his office doing paperwork. Personally he found it boring. But it was Admin so it had to be done. He was itching for a case to come in so he could get his hands dirty. He was missing her not sitting there perched at the end of his desk legs crossed and a smile that would light up the room.

Zoe Hanna was sitting at the nuses station having a staring competion with Noel as she was bored. She decided to go and see Adam. She got two coffees from the canteen and walked up to his office. She knocked on the door. "Hey Adam. I thought you could do with this?" She held up the plastic cup taking a sip from her own cup as she sat down in the arm chair.

"Thanks Zoe" He replied lifting the lid off the cup then cursing as it spilled over a picture of Harry. He immediately picked up the silver frame and tried to wipe the coffee stains off. Zoe put her hand on her shoulder as Adam took the photo out of the frame and looked at it. Harry was dressed in a blue babysuit smiling cheeckily at the camera.

"With a grin like that he would have been a charmer like you Adam" Zoe commented. She knew he missed his little boy.

"I should have looked harder!" Adam said.

"Adam stop it. You saved her because you could see her. You couldn't see him" Zoe stated gently putting a hand on his arm. Adam swallowed and Zoe could see a lump forming in his throat. He was determined not to cry. He wouldn't. He opened the door and left the office taking the staIrs two steps at a time. He was a keen runner. He spotted Tom with a patient and walked over to help.

"This is Emily. 14. She was riding her horse Anya when she fell off her. She's fractured her arm and has concussion. " Tom explained.

"Ow" Emily moaned as she was taken in to RESUS.

Dixie, Jeff and Adam moved Emily from the trolley and on to the bed.

Emily had blonde hair and brown eyes. Adam walked over to her. "Emily I'm going to look at your arm. Is that OK?" He asked removing the straps from the bright orange split her arm was in.

"Is my horse OK?" She asked Adam who was shouting at Scarlett to sort entnox out.

Adam smiled. "Let's not worry about your horse right now?" He looked over at Scarlett who was biting her lips. Adam glared at Scarlett who mumbled.

"Sorry Doctor Trueman"

Adam administered the injection to Emily and pulled her arm back in place. "Scarlett a splint please?" She hurried out of RESUS and bumped in to Tom.

"Hey Scarlett" He smiled at her as she looked for a spilnt.

"Hey" She replied with a small smile finding the splint and walking back in to RESUS to hand Adam the splint. He thanked her and put Emily's arm in the splint taking care not to hurt her.

"We'll send you up for a C.T now Emily " Tom said walking over to her and Adam nodded in agreement. Emily had been for her C.T scan and Tom was keeping her in for observation for the night. Emily twisted a strand of her blonde hair putting it behind her ear as Tom walked out of RESUS and walked in to the staff room to change out of his green put his stethoscope in to his locker and slung his bag over his shoulder walking out of the staff room not before going in to RESUS and saying goodnight to Emily. "Goodnight Emily."

She smiled shyly. "Goodnight Doctor Kent" He would discharge Emily in the morning when a parent or guardian came to collect her. He continued walking out of the E.D and got in to his car, driving away in to the night.
