Out at the Wholefish Café, Bronwyn was cooking a soup for Ellie when she heard Charlie walk in. He was out fishing while the twins were out at the park with Norman and Hannah. Charlie could smell the soup simmering on the cooker, he wanted to find out why Bronwyn was cooking it. So, he set the keys to his boat down on the counter and went to ask her. "Er, Bronwyn. Why are you cooking some soup, it's only lunch time? I mean, who is it for?" He asked as Bronwyn was chopping some vegetables.
"Well, Charlie. Penny phoned and told me about Ellie. She's feeling very ill, and I thought I could make her some of your special soup your mum left for you in her cookbook. So, once I finish cooking it, it will be in a flask on its way to Sam's house."
Charlie was surprised, he didn't even know that Ellie was ill when Lion was out on the cliffs. But then he remembered Bronwyn noticing it as Lion was safely rescued from the cliffs. "So, do we know how she was taken ill?" Charlie asked.
"No, but I think this will help make her feel better. Sam had this when he was very sick."
Soon, the soup was made, and Bronwyn poured it into a flask and grabbed her bag. She was heading over to Sam's house to drop off the soup to Penny where she can give it to Ellie. "Ok, I'm off to Sam's for a moment. Can you stay here until Sarah and James come back?" She asked as she walked to the door.
"Ok, Bronwyn. I'll be here."
Bronwyn was soon heading to Sam's house to meet with Penny and Sam. She was wondering what Ellie might've caught to make her ill. So, she decided to ask Sam while she was there.
Meanwhile at Sam's house,
Helen had just finished checking on Ellie while Sam was right beside her. Ellie was worried that she might've needed to go to hospital. So, she decided to ask her leading firefighter. "Sam, I'm beginning to worry that I might need to go to the hospital. Will that happen if I need it?"
Sam paused for a moment, then thought for a moment. He soon knew that it wasn't too bad, although it may need to be taken care of for 1-3 days. So, he turned back to her and answered the question. "Ellie, I can say that this may need to be taken care of here. I think you're safe from going to the hospital. If we need to take you there, I'll tell you. Ok?"
"Ok, Sam."
Helen soon gathered her medical supplies and soon walked to where Sam was. She soon found out that Ellie had a very bad stomach ache. "Sam, I can confirm what Penny told me. She was right that Ellie had a stomach ache. I think this one was worse than the one you had; at this rate I think you need to take care of her. I'll come by tomorrow to check on her, or maybe Penny can take over. What do you think, Sam?"
Sam paused for a moment, then he looked at Ellie who was resting in the bed he made for her. He soon had an idea. "I think Penny can take over for you. I'll make sure to tell her to send you any, and all updates."
"Great, I think I better go and find Mandy. She was brought to the Fire Station with Elvis after she fell into the mud at the park."
"Ok. Thanks, Helen. I'll show you the way back to the Station."
Sam soon showed Helen the back door to the Fire Station as it was the way she came in. They were passing by Penny as she came by with a cup of tea for Sam. Just as she finished setting up some tea for them, Bronwyn knocked at the door. Penny walked over to the door to find her with a flask which had the soup for Ellie. "Hello, Bronwyn. I see you came with the soup. Sam's just making sure Helen is back at the station." She said as she opened the door.
"Thanks for letting me help, Penny. What do you think caused Ellie to be ill?"
"Oh, I think it's just a stomach ache, she just came down with a cold this morning and now she feels like she is really ill. I think she'll be fine in 1-3 days."
"Oh, poor Ellie. I hope she gets better soon; Charlie was beginning to worry about her."
"Well, tell Charlie that Sam is taking care of her, and she'll be back soon. Ok?"
"Ok, Penny. See you soon."
"See you later, Bronwyn."
Penny soon walked back to the kitchen where Sam was with his cup of tea. He just got back from the garden after he made sure Helen was safely on her way to the fire station. "Was that Bronwyn, Penny?" he asked as he picked up his tea.
"Yes, Sam. She brought me some soup that she made for Ellie to enjoy while she is resting."
"Ok, I think we can see if she needs it. I hope this works, Penny."
"Me too, Sam."
Just as they were enjoying some tea, they heard a crash from outside the door. They rushed to the door to see what had happened, they soon noticed that Sarah had lost control of her go-kart and the tires were bent. Sarah had looked like she was in pain, she had some bruises on her arm. Sam had decided to find out how she got there. So, he walked over and knelt beside her. "Sarah, what happened? How did you get here so fast?" he asked, looking confused at how she got there.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Sam. Norman, James and I were having a race and I lost control. I couldn't hold on, and now I hurt myself as I crashed."
Sarah had tears in her eyes as she felt like she was in trouble, but Sam had found that it wasn't her fault. So, he looked around for Norman Price as he is a troublemaker, but he couldn't see him anywhere. He then turned back to Sarah. "I know it wasn't your fault, Sarah. I think Norman might've cheated in your race and loosened the pieces." He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Do you really think so, Uncle Sam?"
"Of course, Sarah. Why don't you come inside for a moment, I'll get you some water, and Penny can take a look at your arm, ok?"
"Ok, Uncle Sam."
Sam had later picked up Sarah and walked back into the house with Penny following behind. Sarah was soon on the sofa that Sam had cleaned, and Penny moved the first aid bag from the kitchen to where she was. "Are you comfortable here, Sarah?" Penny asked.
"Yes, Penny. I feel very comfortable here." Sarah replied.
"Ok, Sarah. Let's see what happened to you. I think it's just badly bruised as you came by." Penny said as she opened the bag.
"Really, Penny?"
"Yes, Sarah. I just need to look at it and then you'll be right as rain in no time."
While Penny was checking over Sarah, Sam reached for his phone to call his brother, he didn't want her to find out that Sarah was missing. Bronwyn was out at the Flood's house, so Charlie picked up the phone as he knew that Sam was calling him. "Hello, Sam. Any news on Ellie?" he asked.
"No, Charlie. I haven't heard anything yet, but I thought I would call to let you know that Sarah's taken a tumble from her go-kart and crashed outside my door. I brought her inside so that Penny can take a quick look at her. It might just be some bruises she's coming home with tonight."
"Oh, dear. Thanks for letting us know, Sam. I'll come by to pick her up."
"Not a problem, Charlie."
Sam later hung up the phone and returned to where Sarah was and sat down beside her with a glass of water in his hand. Just as he set down the water glass on the table, he heard a fright from the guest room. So, he went to see if Ellie was alright. Penny and Sarah were confused at what just happened. Ellie had woken up from encountering a bad dream, she was shaken like a ghost. Sam had later rushed in to comfort his new recruit. "Ellie, what happened? Are you ok?" he asked as he sat on the bed.
"No, Sam. I just had a terrible dream."
"Oh no. What was it about?"
"I wish I would tell you, but I can't remember. It just happened so fast."
"I know, Ellie. I know."
"Can you send Penny in here when she's ready, please?"
"Ok, Ellie. I'll tell her. Oh, and I just thought you know that Sarah crashed her go-kart right outside the door. I brought her in here until Charlie can come and pick her up, Ok?"
"Ok, Sam. Thanks for telling me."
"You're welcome, Ellie."
Sam later walked back out to where Penny and Sarah were, he was just about to tell her about Ellie. It was going to be a long day for him and Penny as they had been busy taking care of Ellie and Sarah.
