tracy's dream: Thank you for the review.

sweet - as - honey: Thank you for the review. I'm sorry you found it sad, but really happy you found it sweet, I love writing chapters where Cal is there for Ethan and this chapter is no exception.

The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 147.

Ben stood in his office looking at his list of people he had to council through their problems, their personal and professional ones.

One name stood out for him: Ethan Hardy. Zoe had filed him in on Emile's death, she was one of the handful of people who knew about Ethan's diagnose, the other being Charlie and of course, Cal.

"Hey bro " Cal caught up with Ethan on their lunch break. "How did it go with Ben?"

Ethan nodded slowly at his brother. "He's booked me with session. "

"I'll come with you, if you want " Cal offered.

"I'd like that, Cal " Ethan smiled a bit as he opened his locker and got out his lunch.

"Consider it done " Cal replied as he sat down and opened his lunch as the two ate in comfortable silence,
