The News

The younger members of the team arrived at the hospital, their minds on what they would find when they got in the hospital. Walking up to the reception, their hearts were thumping against their chest waiting to jump out. Spence was the one to ask the receptionist where Grace was being treated.

"I'm sorry but I can't give that infomation unless you're a relative." he said.

Spence sighed. "We're with the police and she is a collegue. This visit is very important."

"Are you three with a Detective Superintendent Boyd by any chance?"

"Yeah we are. Why?" Eve asked.

"Oh he did mention to me that he was expecting you. He's in the relative's room waiting for a doctor to come. You can go ahead and wait with him in there if you like."

Spence nodded his thanks and the three of them headed towards the relative's room. Noel was behind reception when Tess came up and handed him a file.

"Tess have you seen Maggie by any chance?" Noel asked her.

Tess shrugged her shoulders. "No why?"

"I have the relatives of Grace Foley in the relative's room and they are wondering if she will recover?"

Tess looked towards the room and saw them looking very worried indeed.

"Don't worry Noel, I will go and inform them but if you do see Maggie could you tell her that I will be there." she replied as she headed towards the relative's room.

Back in the room, Boyd heard a knock. "Come in." his voice sounding very quiet.

Tess entered and closed the door behind her. To the team that did not look like a good sign and fear began to dawn on them. Noel was behind reception when Maggie came up.

"Ah Maggie, uh Tess wanted me to tell you that she....." But he was soon cut off when Maggie's pager went off. She looked at it and switched it off.

"Yeah Noel you were saying?" she asked as she looked back at him.

"I was just saying that Tess is in the relative's room talking to a Detective Superintendent Boyd about Grace Foley. The woman who came in with the abdominal stab wound and telling him what the progress is but I think she would like you to explain to them just a bit more."
