Zoe could see that nick was worried for the rest of the day, so about 4 o'clock Zoe went into his office
"She will be ok" said Zoe
"Zoe" said nick "she is in a house with her abusive husband who has recently held her so hard that he broke her wrists"
Zoe looked at nick and could see that he was worrying; she also knew that nick and Miriam were very close and was best of friends most of the time.
Suddenly Charlie came through the door
"We might need you in resus, women coming in" said Charlie
"Ok" said nick and Zoe walking into reception
When they got to reception they noticed that all the doctors and noses were gathered round the E.D doors.
"What is going on" "said nick "everyone get back to work"
"Its Miriam" said Tess "she's coming in"
"What" shouted nick
Zoe and nick looked at each other only they knew the truth
The E.D doors suddenly opened
"This is Miriam turner" said Jeff
"And this is her husband" said Dixie "was found with her at the scene"
Nick watched as Miriam was wheeled thaw the door there was burses all over her, but before she was even near the resus doors, nick saw her husband, and lost it, he suddenly grabbed him but the neck and pinned him up against the wall, suddenly Jeff and Dixie stopped wheeling Miriam and everyone turned round and looked at nick
"What have you done to her" shouted nick
"Nothing, nothing" said tom, Miriam's husband "she just tripped down the stairs"
"Yea tripped" shouted nick "you probably just pushed her down the stairs after, you had had your daily beating session with her"
The whole E.D looked at nick and Miriam lying bruised and battered in the hospital bed
"What, what" said tom
"Oh yea Miriam told me all about you" said nick
Zoe looked at nick, Miriam was unconscious but Zoe knew that she would be angry at nick
"Yea I know that you batter her, yes Miriam your own wife" said nick
"What sort of man rapes his own wife, and hold her so hard that you break both his wrists" said nick
The whole E.D went silent and looked at poor Miriam in the hospital bed
"Noel call the police" shouted nick "and if he moves from this seat call me, I want to be the one to finish him off"
Nick let tom go and helped a shocked Jeff and Dixie wheel Miriam into resus
The doctors and nurses were shocked when they saw all the old and new energies
"We need a scan, there is some bruising around the neck" said Charlie
"That was there this morning" said Tess
Zoe and Charlie looked at her
"Most of these aren't from the fall" said zoe "there hand prints"
Everyone looked at each other
"Right"" said nick "every accident has to be recorded including the hand prints"
"Oh and when you get the bloods back come and get me" said nick
Tess and Zoe looked down at Miriam
"Poor Miriam, imagine being raped and abused by your own husband" said Tess
"Nick has been kicking himself all day he knew he shouldn't have let her go home" said Zoe
"It wasn't his fault" said Tess
