This is something I wrote on the boys. It's the fight between Cal and Scott, but instead of, Cal Scott is fighting with, it's Ethan. Set before Cal dies and Ethan doesn't have the gene.

I wrote this last Friday, only got round to updating it now.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 320.

"You killed my father!" Scott Ellison roars in to Ethan's face, spitting the words out.

"there was nothing we could do for him" Ethan replied, but Scott didn't care, he wanted revenge for the fact his father was lying old on a slab.

It pains Cal to watch his brother fight Scott, to see Scott drag his brother around like a rag doll, theres a wheeze from Ethan as Scott throws him against the wall, he smacks the back of his head.

Cal gets ready to jump in between them both. It's him who first noticed the blade In Scott's back pocket. The thing is, he knows exactly what the blade is. It's a knife, which he slowly draws out.

Ethan please move. He thinks desperately. But it seems his senses to reach his brother aren't working today as Ethan fails to understand what Cal is thinking.

Scott sticks the knife in to Ethan and then runs off. Cal knows he should run after Scott, but as he watches Ethan slump to the floor, clutching his chest, he knows where his priorities lie. He gets to his knees and tries to soothe his brother.

"Cal, hurts" Ethan whispers.

"I know, mate" Cal says, running his hand through Ethan's hair in a bid to comfort him.

"Cal" Charlie appears outside in the car park, no doubt to tell Cal off for running off in the middle of his shift.

"Not now Charlie" Cal days, moving a little to allow Charlie to see his brother. Ethan is growing weaker by the minute. His skin is cold, and his breathing is shallow, a pool of blood around him.

"I'll get a trolley " Charlie mutters, shocked at seeing one of their best doctors lying in a pool of his own blood.

He grabs a trolley and Cal picks Ethan up, laying him down on to it. Cal hears a few words before Ethan goes silent, Cal knows this isn't a good sign.

"Don't leave me" Ethan cries.

"I won't" Cal promises and then the trolley is wheeled away from him.

connie is awaiting the next RESUS patient and is shocked when Charlie informs her it is Ethan. They get him on to the bed and start examing him.

"He's lost output " Charlie calls as Connie does CPR, stops to do a pulse check and shakes her head, sadly. Charlie swallows the lump in his throat. He's lost too much blood, and his head wound is stitched up.

"Time of death " He announces, looking at the clock. "1:30"

Cal is in the staff room, well Charlie walked in, a sombe look on his face.

"Cal.."

"Charlie, don't " Cal says, he knows. But that doesn't stop him from heading down the stairs, in to RESUS where his brother was. There was an incision in his chest, he looked batteed and brised which he was.

"Cal, there's nothing more we can do for him," Charlie says quietly.

Cal looks up at the monitor, there is no signs of life in his brother.

As a distraught Cal leaves resus, breathes deeply and heads back in.

"Ethan" he begs, unable to believe his little brother is dead. "Ethan" He cries louder.

colleagues are gossiping. The normally composed Cal Knight so composed, sobbing in the middle of the workplace where he worked in a distraught manner. Charlie puts

Cal grabs a drink from the shop on his break but it's the newspaper that really catches his attention, because on the front page is a picture of Ethan, in his scrubs. The headline reads: "Miracle Doctor "

Doctor breathing after being declared dead.

"Ethan Hardy, a doctor at Holby City Hospital, is dead after being stabbed by the relative of a patient, who Doctor Hardy was treating. He had abandoned the care of his patient, in a bid to save the life of fellow Doctor, Lilly Chow, who had been run over. "

"Scott Ellison, the son of the patient, was angry and went after the doctor who had left his father to die. He tracked him down and fought with him, before pulling a knife out on him. He fled the scene, leaving his distraught brother and fellow doctor, Caleb Knight to find him"

"Despite attempts to revive him, he died. "

"A nurse went to clean him up, but when she pulled back the covers, she was shocked to discover he was breathing. He was rushed back to RESUS where he was hooked up to monitors. "

As Cal finishes reading, he feels like he's going to faint. Or be sick. Or maybe both. Ethan's dead. Charlie told him so. Was his mind playing tricks on him? But before he has the chance to think about it anymore, Robyn comes out of the staff room, holding what is looking like his phone.

"It was ringing, " She offered.

He takes it off her and pulls the bar across.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Is that Caleb Knighits ?" A voice, sounds male, asks.

"Yep," He answers, his voice sounds dry as he awaits the officers next question

"Was there a vendetta between Scott Elison and your brother?"

Cal thought back to the day Lily was admitted. Ethan had abandoned his care of Scott's father in a bid to help treat Lilly, who had been run over.

"Yep, " He eventually says.

He's informed there will be a trial and Ethan may have to give evidence. Cal sighs. The last thing Ethan needs is toB

As Cal's phone call come to an end, he was aware of Connie glaring at him, he'd forgotten about her "no phones on shift" rule when he comes off the phone.

"it was important " Cal defended himself.

"Fine, I'll let you off with a warning, but just this once" Connie says.

Cal nods, "Thank you, Mrs Beachaump "

He's on a break, so he goes to visit Ethan who has now been moved to a side room. As he approaches, he sees a nurse, it's Robyn, she's doing his vital signs.

"How is he?" He asks, quietly closing the door.

Robyn removes the pulse oximeter from Ethan's finger. "He's stable"

"Good" Cal wipes the bead of sweat off his forehead.

A week or two later, Ethan's discharged and Cal promises to lo ok after him. He's relieved. He borrows a wheelchair and a blanket and wheels him to the car. He unlocks it and helps Ethan on with his belt as he shuts the door and goes around to the drivers seat.

It doesn't take the brothers long to reach their block and Cal turns off the engine, looking at Ethan who had fallen asleep.

Cal unlocks the door which leads to the staircase where Cal swallows, how is he supposed to get his brother up the stairs? He could carry him. He lifts Ethan in to his arms and starts to walk up them. He struggles with the weight of Ethan in his arms and eventually managed to get in. Ethan stares.

Making sure that Ethan was comfortable and had, had his pain relief. He takes him through to his bedroom and gets a pair of joggers out of the draw as well as a tee shirt and puts them on him. Just as he's about to head to his own room, Ethan mumbles.

"I love you, Cal "

"I love you too mate "

Cal tucked the covers around his brother and sat on the edge of the bed as Ethan looked up at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Ethan looked vunerable, like a child. Cal strokes his hair before leaving for his own room. He gets on the bed and puts his earphones in, but not too loud in case Ethan needs him and sure enough Ethan woke screaming. Cal goes t his room and strokes his hair, whispering soothing words.

Cal's solicitors calls and informs him, a ddate has been set for the trial. Cal asks when. He's informed the 12th of Feb. That's his birthday.

The day of the trial comes around and Cal realises it's his birthday. "Happy birthday, " He whispers to himself. He walks in to Ethan's room and helps him shower.

Scott is found guilty much to the relief of both brothers and he offers to buy his brother a drink.

"Shouldn't I be buying you one?" Ethan jokes quietly.

"Go on then, " Cal jokes as they sit in the pub.
