Mr Porter had his hands clamped firmly on the bed rails . "Sir ? I have the results of your x-rays. Your leg has been severely crushed . There is a chance you will lose your leg sir." Charolotte watched his face . She could see the pain and also a hint of fear. "How high are my chances of keeping it ? " she could see the effect all this was having on him. His heart moniter beeping slightly faster. "Sir the orthopaedic surgeon will be down the see you soon . " He persisted. "Your opinion is what though ? Will I keep it ?" she thought carefully before answering . "Sir I have seen worse limbs saved. I'm sure the surgeon will try his best . Is there anything else I can get for you ? "he looked up at Charlotte . "Can you ring my brother ? Don't tell him what happened. Could you prentend that I'm staying with some women and I'm busy? He's listed as my next of kin" Charlotte nodded and left. She thought about the state shed be in if she was in Mr Declan Porter's shoes. She would be screaming the house down for her half sister Amanda and she certainly wouldn't be so calm about the whole thing. She lifted the phone and dialed Jack Porter's number. "Stowaway. Jack speaking. " she was a little nervous. Charlotte couldn't place why but she was . "Hi . My names Charlotte Grayson . Declan asked me to ring you and tell you we are going to be away for a while and not to worry about him. " She glanced over at Declan as he eased into a comfier position. "And why exactly can't my lazy little brother ring himself Charlotte. " Shit. She hadn't thought it through aswel as she thought she had . "He is a little busy. He's trying to find a way to ... Recover the necklace which I dropped down the side of his car seat. " She wasn't sure he'd buy it . She wasn't sure she bought it . " Ok. Well tell him to call asap. And tell him I'm glad he's found a woman who'll take his crap" and he hung up before I could explain I wasn't his girlfriend .
