Chapter 7 (NICK'S CHAPTER)

Nick saw the car swerve, he saw it now about to drop 100 feet to the rocks and water below, he had to do something, his spirit was put back on this earth for a reason, he had to save Zoe.

He tried to place his hands on the bonnet of the car but they went right through, he had to do something, but what?

"I can do this" he muttered, he had to convinced himself, he knew that if you convinced yourself you can do something there's always a good result in the end.

He tried again and this time it worked, he managed to push the car backwards and out of danger.

Zoe was safe...

Nick now stood beside the car looking through the window at Zoe, she wasn't conscious but she was breathing, Nick could see her chest moving up and down.

He took a few steps back and sighed, he wished he was still a living person, he looked up to the sky above, he knew he could cross over at any time but he wasn't ready yet, things still needed to be done.

He turned away from the car as he heard the sirens of the ambulance and police approaching, smiling he slipped his hands into his pockets and began walking.

He began laughing to himself remembering a case him and Zoe dealt with...

3 years earlier...

Nick walked into the ED late one evening ready to be greeted with his grateful staff and warm smiles..
"Are you my lover?"
An elderly lady stepped in front of him her face drawn in a serious expression, gazing at him, searching for an answer.
"Um no, excuse me" said Nick stepping around her.

The department was overflowing with people. Patients were sitting on the floor, in wheelchairs, leaning against walls.
"Always when I'm late" he muttered fighting his way through the sea of bodies to the reception desk.

"What's happening here" he called to Noel, trying to grab his attention.
"Oi, get to the back" a voice bellowed.
Nick looked behind him to see a very large man with an angry expression on his face.
"I work here" he answered.
The mans expression softened and everything became a little quieter.

"Oh sod this" Nick muttered walking behind the desk and grabbing a pile of notes, he took the first from the top "Mr Fisher" he called.

A young male stood up, along with two females, one was his girlfriend, the other, a middle aged woman, his mother.
Nick led them to a cubicle just in time to see Zoe who he pulled in with him.
"What's going on here tonight?" He questioned.

"Oh Nick its madness 3 people have called in sick and..."

"Excuse me! Can someone please sort my penis out!" Cried the patient in agony.

Zoe and Nick exchanged glances "shall we handle this one together?" suggested Nick.
Zoe smiled and nodded placing some gloves on her hands.
Nick loved that look, that look of ever lasting love.

Zoe picked up the patients notes and began reading, she looked up at Mr Fisher "so your penis" she began.
"Yes my penis look at it!" Cried the man dropping his pants.

His mother turned away in embarrassment.
Nick and Zoe couldn't help gulping back the laughter.

They both peered over and took a good look at the penis in question, they could see nothing more than a slight scratch.

"What happened? Asked Zoe "It doesn't look to serious, all I can see is a scratch"
"Not serious! She bit it!" The man said accusingly looking past Zoe and Nick at his girlfriend.

"I didn't do it on purpose!" The young woman pleaded "I said I was sorry!"

Zoe looked at Nick and smiled, the man caught them exchanging glances "this isn't funny you know! I'm in fucking pain here!"

"You will need some antibiotics" informed Nick "human bites can sometimes be quite serious"

The two of them left the man and his mother and girlfriend to fight it out in the cubicle...

Nick laughed hysterically as he reminisced, he sat down next to a tree and continued to chuckle to himself.
He took in a breath after a few minutes of laughter "I wish I was still alive" he sobbed.

Of course he had been left on this earth for a reason, his killers had not yet been brought to justice and Zoe and his son were in danger of joining him on the wrong side - the side he was on - death - the afterlife...

Bit short guys but seeing as its been a while I thought why not! Hope you liked it! Please let me know if you can.
