So I don't know when I'm going to be able to update next (hopefully tomorrow night!) so here's another chapter. Im also away on business this weekend so it looks like I'll be waiting a little longer for the next Casualty episode (which SUCKS!) I guess that's when BBC iPlayer becomes my saviour. Anyway thanks again for the amazing reviews and enjoy!


If the murmuring next to Tess didn't grab her attention the squeeze of her hand certainly did. Connie was starting to regain consciousness. Slowly she began to open her eyes only to shut them again due to the sunlight reflecting of the broken glass pieces that were scattered everywhere.

"Connie!" she heard. "Connie!" she heard again.

"Gracie is that you?" Connie replied with confusion. Where was she? Why couldn't she move and why was she in so much pain?

"No Connie. It's Tess. We've been involved in a car accident, don't you remember?" Tess asked. Tess didn't receive a reply, Connie's condition was worrying her. "Ash!" Tess called through to the back.

"Yeah?" he replied poking his head through from the back. "She's awake?" he asked.

"She is but she seems very confused which i guess is understandable. Should we try to move her?" Tess asked unsure as to what to do for the best.

"No. If we move her she could lose her hand or at least a mass amount of function. We don't know what sort of damage there is from it being crushed." The mention of the possibility of losing her hand grabbed Connie's attention.

"Your not having my hand!" she shouted nervously, eyes fully open and trying to move from the laying position she was in "I wont let you!" An intense shooting pain shot itself up through her arm from her moving "Ahhhh!..." She screamed. Ash placed his hands on Connie's shoulders and pushed her gently back down to the position she was in before, she hadn't sat up far. "You need to keep still your wrist is pinned under the car if you move you'll just aggravate the wound and make it worse." stated Ash. She was now lying on her back looking up at both Ash and Tess who both looked scared and worried. A tear trickled down her cheek.

"Your going to be ok." said Tess with a half-hearted smile "Hows the pain?" she asked.

"Honestly?" Connie replied. Trying to sit up had really weakened her. "I can't feel my wrist, which isn't a good thing right? But my head is pounding, feels like i got hit by a truck pardon the pun." Not being able to feel the pain in her wrist was a really bad thing Connie knew that.

"I'm sorry about the comment about losing your hand, it was extremely insensitive of me." Ash said feeling regretful about his earlier comment. Connie wiped the stray tear with her good hand off of her face and gave a small smile as if to say don't worry about it.

"Lets face it its a possibility." she stated. Her thoughts suddenly swept to thinking about the other occupants of the car. "Hows Lilly and Ethan?" Connie asked.

"Well Lilly has a leg break which was pinned but now free and Ethan..." Tess paused as she looked at the young male doctor.

Ash continued for her. "Ethan has a major head injury that I've tried my best to deal with and has other possible internal injuries from the discolouration of his chest. Theres nothing we can do until the rescue arrives."

"Mrs Beauchamp, glad to hear your conscious!" shouted Lilly from the back. "How are you feeling?"

"Its not one of my better day, hows the leg Dr Chao?" Connie replied thankful for the concern. Lilly was a very promising pupil she reminded her of herself, stoic on the outside but soft on the inside.

"Its not one of my better days." Chao replied with a smile mirroring the answer her boss had previously given.

Connie smiled back at the reply, that smile was quickly wiped off of her face when she again felt the shooting pain through her arm. She took in some deep breathes that were noticed by the two in front of her.

"I'm going to try and climb out of here and flag down the ambulance when it arrives. Tess can you keep an eye on everyone?" said Ash as he started to look for a way out of the wreckage.

"Of course. Be careful though I cant deal with another injury." Tess replied concerned for his safety.

Ash could hear the sirens in the distance and swiftly climbed on top of the side of the car. As he reached the top he could see the ambulances.

"They're here!" he shouted back down to those still trapped inside the vehicle. He started waving his arms in the air grabbing the attention of the drivers.

He saw Dixie point to him for Jeff to drive in their direction. Dixie was the first to get out of the ambulance and reach the car with medical bags in hand.

"Any change?" Dixie asked Ash as he hopped down from the top of the car.

"Connie is now conscious but still unable to move. She also has no feeling of the hand that is pinned. Ethan is still unconscious and i think Lilly's leg is still losing blood, she's going to need a transfusion." After Ash had informed Dixie of everything, he started to sway as if to faint but managed to regain his composure with a little help from Tamzin that had just arrived at his side.

"Right were going to check you out in the ambulance and dress that head wound." Ash was about to speak but Tamzin gave the no nonsense look that persuaded him against arguing. Tamzin led Ash away from the vehicle as Jeff and Mac arrived at Dixie's side.

"Hows it look?" asked Mac.

"Were going to need the fire-crew to cut the top half of the car off so we can reach them better." Dixie replied.

"Can't we go through the lower part of the windshield? That way we can administer the drugs and then let the fire-crew in to sort out getting them out. I'll also be able to get a better idea of the situation." stated Jeff.

"Ok. You get on with that and ill inform the fire-crew what were doing." with that Dixie left to speak to the firemen and Jeff went into a prone position and crawled through the narrow gap that was previously missed by Ash.

"Jeff!" Tess shouted with relief clear on her face.

"Nice to see you too Tess. How are you Mrs B?" Jeff said looking down at the Doctor that was growing weaker and paler by the minute.

"Not so good I'm afraid Jeff. You've got your work cut out for you here." She'd stopped pretending to be fine the minute Ash left the car, Tess had been asking about Connie's daughter to distract her from the pain she was enduring but it didn't seem to help all that much.

"Well I'm gonna pump some morphine through you to ease that pain." with that Jeff got out his syringe and injected her with a dose of morphine. "You know the drill it'll take a few moments for it to take effect." Connie nodded showing she understood. Jeff did the same for Lilly and then moved over to the motionless Ethan.

"Ethan mate, can you hear me?" no answer. Jeff reached for his pen torch and shone the light in Ethan eyes. "No response to light and pulse is weak. Mac?!"

"Jeff?"

"Mac, tell Dixie that we need to get Ethan out now. He hasn't got much time."

"Righto. I'll tell her now." Off Mac went to hurry up the rescue team. As he reached Dixie and the team another car arrived at the scene. The door flung open and out stepped Dr Hannah.

"What have we got?" Dr Hannah asked his haste.


Im kinda already missed Dr Hannah in the show. Miss that tension between Zoe and Connie So I decided to write her back in early. anyway guys thanks for reading and I'll try and update soon. Don't forget to review :)
