Harry looked round the expectant faces in front of him. It turned out the whole department had stopped to know what was going on. He turned to look at Tess, she was stood forcing back the tears. What made it worse was the fact that he knew little Kathryn had died during theatre, also Sheila was dead, all due to one man. And now, one of his most valued friends.
"Ahem." he begun, not knowing how to phrase what he was about to say, "As you probably all know by now, there was an incident tonight involving tow of our colleagues here." this was getting incredibly hard to get out for Harry, "Unfortunately, I am deeply upset to tell you that tonight…one.." Harry struggled to get the words to the air, taking a deep breath he begun again, "One of our colleagues was.. murdered." tears began to leak from his eyes as an emotional gasp went round the gathered mix of patients and staff.
"Oh my god…" gasped Kelsey, she had been the only one to see Charlie in cubicles okay, and it had only taken her a second to work out what was going on. Everyone turned to look at the emotional young nurse, who was looking at Harry, "No way." she shook her head but Harry's look confirmed that what she had guessed was right.
"As Kelsey seems to know, the colleague who is no longer with us was our registrar." Harry sighed, "Maggie." there wasn't a dry eye in the department. No one could believe anything they'd just heard, least of all Maggie's dear colleagues and friends. As Harry left the department, and Tess disappeared to her office the department begun to slowly get back to work, but no one was focused on work, their thoughts were all on Maggie and the events of that night.
