Once we arrived at the hospital Dixie asked us to wait outside for a couple of minutes while she sorted out whatever is that she had to do, Jamie went with her. Jeff and I stood outside the ambulance in silence, Jeff looked like he wanted to say something, but he obviously changed his mind about it.
We waited there for God knows how long. Everything was just a blur to me and I couldn't think straight, it took a while for me to realise that Dixie was back and was discussing something with Jeff.
"That's the new guy arrived," she told him, "he seems a bit odd to me."
"C'mon Dix, you can't seriously be calling someone odd, I mean, have you seen yourself? You're about as odd as it gets!"
"Shut it you cheeky sod," she laughed in response to Jeff's comment, "seriously though I told him that I'd take him round Holby so that he knows exactly where to go like I do with all newbies, but he told me he already knew Holby like the back of his hand, even though he just moved here," she then glanced at me, and thinking that I wasn't listening, she whispered, "He asked if I knew of anyone working here called Leah Warren, he seemed kind of shifty to me."
I snapped to attention, only a few people would ever ask around to try and find me, and if they seemed shifty, well, lets just say, that did not bode well at all.
"Shifty in what way?" Jeff asked, both of them were completely oblivious to the fact that I was even there any more.
"I can't put my finger on it," she replied, "he almost seemed too polite, too comfortable in a new place"
I felt way to worried to listen to them going on like this, I was far too impatient, I needed to know who it was.
"What's his name?" I interrupted, I could here the shaking in my voice but I didn't care, this was far more important than me feeling a bit silly.
They both turned around, it looked like I had startled them, then Dixie said "Erm, I think he said his name was Luke, I don't know his surname off hand," my eyes widened, "you okay pet?"
Had I heard her right? I can't of. It sounded like she said Luke. That would mean he was here. There was only one way to find out.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"At the reception, I think he..." I didn't stay to hear her finish.
I sprinted to the reception, I heard them behind me, but that didn't matter, all I could think was, "He's here!" but when I got to the entrance I stopped, what if it wasn't him? I could feel my heart thumping and I could here Jeff and Dixie behind me, but I knew that I wouldn't find out until I went inside. I took a deep breath and went inside.
