The sound of sirens wailed in the distance, pain shot through her body, her heart quickened. Then darkness overwhelmed her, the sharp pain fading into the background.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hm, why's Gary Martin still here?" Selena spoke to herself, fiddling with the monitor. Her patient had been discharged over half an hour ago with a mild case of Sinusitis, yet he was apparently still there. Looking up from the re-flashing screen, she saw Charlie come bounding out of Resus. The biggest grin on his face Selena had ever seen since the Christmas party, Abs and his mistletoe. "So, win the lottery then?" she asked grinning at her own memories as Charlie walked or rather, skipped over.
"No, sadly, but something better." he went on to explain his happiness to Selena, his smile getting bigger and bigger.
"Well, now I can see why you look slightly drunk! Hey, you don't know where Gary's went do you? Patient with Sinusitis?" Charlie shook his head. "Great."
"Sounds like your in for a fun night!" Charlie joked, still grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Yeah, great. Hold on!" she had spotted Gary just beyond the cubicles, "Hey, Gary! Wait!" she called after him whilst running to catch up. Taking him by the arm, she showed him the way out.
Charlie chuckled, nothing was going to spoil his current mood.
Selena jogged back over, smiling and shaking her head. "I maybe should of got his eyes tested aswell!"
Tess spoke up from behind them, "Um, Selena, Charlie. Em, we've just had a call. Eh, my office please." her tone was flat, she was finding it very difficult to explain.
Both Selena and Charlie exchanged worried looks before following Tess to her office, something was wrong, very wrong.
--------------------------------------------
"What's going on?" Charlie almost demanded.
"Nothing serious, I hope?" although she knew that that wasn't going to be true, Selena wanted to add a comment.
"As I said before. We just got a call from Control. There's been an RTA. Head on collision, three Casualties." Tess was trying to deliver the news in the mot subtlest way she could, her friends faces were still clueless looking. "Two male drivers, oneā¦.female passenger."
The penny had begun to drop in Charlie's head. Selena however, not knowing the full story, was still in the dark.
"You mean?" he stuttered.
"I'm afraid so." tears had begun to well in Tess's eyes, she hated being the one to break the news, but this time it was worse. She knew everyone personally.
"Wh..What happened?" Charlie wasn't sure if he wanted to find out.
"We don't know the full story but two have been requested to go out there, to the scene. I wouldn't of chosen you two but no one else is free. Luke and Josh are outside waiting. I'm so sorry."
Selena looked at her two friends faces, Charlie looked like he was going to collapse and Tess looked as if she's was going to burst into tears. "Can someone explain please?"
Charlie turned to her, his eyes fixing hers. "It's Maggie." those two words were the worst words Selena could've wanted to hear.
