3 updates in one night, I must be mad.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 228.
Cal was exhausted, but surprised when Ricky met him after work one night.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, taking off his stethoscope and walking to the locker room, taking his stethoscope off and putting it in his locker.
"I thought we could go for a walk," Ricky suggested, walking out of the locker room.
Cal nodded, "Sure"
"Great " Ricky replied, leaning up to kiss him, but with Zoe watching, her eyebrows, raised as she signed a patients discharge form, Cal knew he couldn't let her.
"Not here, Rick " Cal put a hand on her chest to stop her.
"OK. "
Wrapping an arm around her, the couple exited the ED.
She was a keen photographer, always looking for new things to take pictures of she almost always carried her DSLR in her handbag.
"What interested you in photography?" Cal asked.
Ricky pretended not to hear that question.
"Ricky?" Cal questioned.
"It was my brother Adam, he brought me a camera for my 18th. "
"I didn't know you had a brother. " Cal said.
"Yeah, well, I do. " She was getting irritated now; she hated talking about Adam.
"You've never mentioned him before " Cal was curious to know why she had never mentioned him.
Ricky narrowed her eyes. "Drop it Cal. "
"No, I want to know. "
Ricky rolled her eyes as Cal continued to press her.
She climbed on to his back, putting her arms around his neck. She laughed as Cal pretended to drop her, then gave her a piggy back, all the way home.
The two were now at home, Cal was in the kitchen making her a chamomile tea and himself a coffee.
"What happened?" He asked, as he walked in to the living room, handing her, her mug.
Ricky took a sip, before she answered him, she hated bringing up her past with Adam, she didn't want Cal to think any less of her.
"Adam hated the Braxton's and wanted revenge on Brax for leaving him for dead. So, he cooked up a revenge plan, involving me. He made me do jobs for him. "
"Like what?"
"I photographed Kyle getting his hands on a gun. I gave the photos to Adam, he gave me money and then I planted the gun in Kyle's flat. I stole 50K from Angelo's."
"He sounds trouble" Cal commented.
"Adam was a dangerous man to cross, " Ricky sighed, closing her eyes.
Cal pulled her closer. "We've all made mistakes Rick, no - one is perfect. " He rubbed her cheek, gently.
"What, not even the great, Cal Knight?" She laughed.
"Not even me. " He replied, using the pad of his thumbs to wipe away her tears.
Ricky leant against him, glad that he didn't think any less of her.
Cal, heading in to the kitchen with the now empty mugs, returned to find her asleep on the couch. He grabbed a blanket and lay it over her.
Thanks for reading.
