Connie's heels echoed through the car park as she got out the car and slammed the door shut the girls following behind her. She took her daughter's hands and walked towards the ED, keeping her head high and eyes forward as everybody stared. Her heels clicked as she walked into the emergency department, she kept walking ignoring all the whispering around her. As she walked towards her office she saw Honey with her tea trolley.
"Morning Mrs Beauchump here a macchiato no sugar for you" Honey said as she passed the coffee to the lady."And a orange each for the two little girlies over her" she said smiling as the girls each took an orange both looking very unimpressed.
"Morning" a voice called behind them.
Connie and the girls turned around to see Zoe walking towards them as Honey wheeled her trolley away.
"Morning" Connie replied as Zoe approached them.
"So you two must be Savannah and Grace" Zoe said cheerfully.
"Girls this is Zoe say hello" Connie told them.
"Hi" Grace said but Savannah stayed quiet giving Zoe a cold look.
"Here Guy left you a note" Zoe said passing the price of paper she had over to Connie.
Connie looked at the note and rolled her eyes.
"Everything okay?" Zoe asked.
"Nothing I can't handle" Connie answered unlocking the office door and going inside the two girls following her.
"Right" Connie said as she removed her coat "You have the iPad, Savannah you have your iPhone that should keep you two entertained for a bit I'll try not to be long" Connie told them but the girls were to busy on their gadgets. So Connie left the office shutting the door behind her.
It was about half an hour later and Grace was getting really bored. She turned round to her sister who was sat glued to her phone. She sighed and got up from the sofa and left the office to go and explore but grabbing Connie's stethoscope as she left.
Grace was walking around when she saw her mum heading outside so decides to follow her.
"Thanks for the heads up Dixie so what happened" Connie said to the women as she approached the ambulance.
"Caught trying to escape with stolen jewellery" Dixie replied to Connie.
"Great, just what I need today" Connie said.
Grace came over and stood beside her mum
"Who's that man?" She asked
Connie jumped at her daughters voice and turned around
"Oh no baby stay in the office" Connie said.
"What did he do?, did he shoot someone?" Grace questioned her mum.
"No he's a bad man promise me you won't go near him, anyway what are you doing out here?, where's you sister?" Connie asked.
"She's in the office, but I was bored so I decides to go and explore" the nine year old answered here mum.
"Right well stay her and don't move" Connie told her and she began to walk. She felt her neck and walked back to Grace
"And I'll have that back thank you" she said removing the stethoscope from Grace.
Connie walked towards the ambulance but before she had even got there grace had found something more exciting to do than wait where she was.
