"What the hell are you doing here?" Martha demanded as she shut the door behind her. Nurses and patients that were walking on the corridor turned around at the sound of Martha's loud, angry voice. Callum smiled at them all, assuring them that everything was okay.
"Erm, why don't we go in here?" He said, leading her to the staff room. She was still in a state of shock from seeing him, so she followed without arguments. She sat down on one of the red sofas looking up at Callum.
"Why are you here Callum?" Martha repeated her question. Callum sat down beside her.
"Well, a couple of weeks ago I got a phone call and I was offered this job. I knew that there would be problems with me moving to Summer Bay, I just didn't expect them to occur this soon." Callum said.
"If you knew there were going to be problems then why didn't you refuse the offer?" asked Martha.
"It was too good to refuse Martha. The pay is so much better than it was, because I've been promoted, I've got my own office now!" Callum bragged. Martha didn't congratulate him though, she was still angry at him for lying to her. "I'm sorry Martha, I well and truly am. I was being stupid, and I really am pleased to see that you and Jack are still going strong." He said, holding his hand out. Martha looked at it, open wide, eager to be filled with her hand. She thought about what options she had. She could be stubborn and unforgiving, or she could get over it and become friends with the new doctor of the bay. After all, he did save Jack's life, she owed him everything for that. She planted her hand on his with a smile. He smiled back.
"Thank you." He said. "We were good friends before I started acting like a complete jerk, weren't we? I hope we can get back to that." He said.
"I'm sure we can." She said.
"Jack?" Tony repeated angrily. Jack hadn't been talking ever since Martha left the room, therefore not responding to Tony and Lucas' questions. He wasn't being rude and ignoring them, he was just simply lost in his own thoughts. Jack's returned feelings about Callum took over his brain. He was remembering every reason why he didn't like Callum, ending in Callum and Martha's kiss. He couldn't take it anymore, they'd been out of the room for about 10 minutes now, and Jack was starting to feel worried. It's not that he didn't trust Martha, because he did, he'd understood that it wasn't her fault for the kiss last time, it was Callum's, which was why he wasn't happy about leaving her alone with him. He sat, thinking about what could be going on. 'Could he be spinning her more lies?' Jack thought. 'Maybe planning a new way on how to get her from me.' He had no idea what was going on, he knew that he was just being paranoid, but realising it didn't help, he just had to have her back next to him, so he could ensure she wasn't being sucked in by his lies.
"Lucas, can you go get Martha please?" Jack asked, waking from his daydream. Lucas looked confused.
"Sure..." he agreed, leaving the room to search for her. Jack's head was just about to fall back to the pillow when Lucas came back in. "She's not in the corridor…" Lucas said. "Neither of them are." Jack thought for a moment. 'Why would they move away from the corridor?', but he was interrupted by Nurse Julie's arrival.
"Hi Jack, feeling better?" She asked.
"Yea thanks. Do you know where Callum and Martha are?" Jack asked. She thought for a moment.
"They must still be in the staff room, I saw him lead her in there about 10 minutes ago." She said, looking at her watch. Jack nodded. He looked up at Lucas and smiled.
"You don't think you could-" Jack began, but Lucas just gave out a huge sigh and walked out of the door, understanding what he wanted.
Lucas walked up to the staff room door and raised his hand to knock on the glass window sunken into the door, when he saw a situation that he wished he hadn't. Martha and Callum were holding hands on the sofa, smiling at each other and looking into one another's eyes. They looked in a happy deep conversation; one that Lucas felt he had to interrupt. 'Maybe this is why Jack wants to see Martha.' Lucas thought. 'He might have not wanted him alone with her, in case something like this happened.' Lucas decided to stop thinking about it and go in, he was just being stupid, Martha wouldn't have feelings for anyone else but Jack, he knew how much she loved him. He walked into the room, where Martha spun around and threw herself to the opposite end of the sofa from Callum. She didn't know why she did it, she just felt a bit jumpy when Lucas entered. She knew she wasn't doing anything wrong, it was just mere stupidity. However, Lucas didn't see it this way. The automatic reaction from Martha just made him more curious, and also increased his belief that something had actually been going on before he entered the room. He looked over at Callum, who was staring at Martha on the edge of the sofa with a friendly smile on his face. Lucas analysed him. He looked about 27 years old, and had an athletic physique barely hidden by his sensible shirt and trousers. His stethoscope was casually draped across his shoulder, and his tie was hanging loosely around the opened collar of his shirt. Callum soon realised that Lucas had been staring at him for the last few minutes, just as he had been doing to Martha, and stood up, putting his hands on his hips and letting out a long yawn.
"Wow I'm tired." He smiled, trying to make friendly conversation, which was ignored by Lucas.
"Martha, Jack told me to get you." Lucas informed her, Martha nodded gently.
"Jack, right. Okay." She said, standing up and walking out of the room. She hadn't noticed Lucas' strange behaviour, neither had she noticed Lucas walking behind her muttering to himself as he contemplated the idea of telling Jack his suspicions. Martha walked in the room, smiling at Jack.
"Hey!" She said. "How are you?" She came round the side of the bed and kissed Jack's forehead.
"I'm great, now you're here." Jack smiled. He held her hand as she sat down, looking into her eyes. Jack assumed that Martha had told Callum to clear off, as she now had a smile on her face and there was no sight of Callum. That is, until he walked through the door and smiled at Martha, who nodded friendlily in reply. Jack looked up at Callum, then down at Martha. "What's going on?" Jack asked, concerned and angry at what he was starting to unravel. 'Surely she hadn't forgiven him?' He thought. Martha looked towards Tony and Lucas, who were still both eager for information on the whole business with Jack's doctor.
"Can you give us a minute please?" Martha asked Tony and Lucas, both to their disappointment. They agreed and silently sloped outside, leaving Callum, Martha and Jack in the private hospital room.
