Hello!

I had another bit written and ready to go, so I thought I'd post now :D Updates will be whenever I get the chance to write as I have some exams next week and I really need to revise for them (*cries*).

Just a couple of replies-

Connie- You lucky thing! It's a lovely name :)

Isbella- Awh, thankyou so much! And I have bit of an obsession too, can you tell? xD I did see the bit where she was arrested- that's going to be an emotional one :'(

Hope you all enjoy and please review if possible! -Sophie x

(P.S- I am really bad at writing Cal and Ethan together so I apologise in advance!)


"Nibbles!" Cal grinned as he approached his brother in the staffroom. It was almost time for their shift to end and the day staff were busy getting their things together.

"Cal stop calling me that." He hissed, the tips of his ears going slightly red. "What do you want?"

"Can I have some more of mum's money?"

"More?!" his brother looked at him incredulously, "where are you putting it all!?"

"Most of its going to your bank account to pay the rent, remember? Anyway, I really need it so will you transfer about £50 to my account please?" he asked, opening the door to his locker and grabbing his stuff.

"Cal, you've used it all!" Ethan said despairingly, "and most of it wasn't even yours, it was mine!"

His brother slammed the locker door shut and locked it again. "If it was yours then why did you give me it?" Ethan looked at him and sighed.

"You were looking after me, I thought you sort of deserved it." He looked away, messing about with some papers on the desk. Cal came and leant against the surface. "So does this mean I can't have any?"

"Yes Caleb it does. I'm sorry but there just isn't any left. You'll have to wait for the next payday."

"But I need it tonight!" he groaned. "Do you not gave any I could borrow? It's important."

"You still owe me £200, I'm not lending you anymore." Ethan said firmly, just as Lily walked in. She stopped and looked from one brother to another.

"I'm not interrupting am I?"

"No no," Ethan said quickly, smiling at her. "We were just finished."

"Good. You ready to go? We can look over the paper Dr Ashford gave me, I think I still have it in my study somewhere."

"Wait, you're going home together?" Cal asked, a wide grin spreading across his face. He looked from Lily to Ethan who glanced at each other.

"Um yes, though I don't remember it being any of your business." Lily said expressionlessly. It was amazing how much she reminded Cal of their boss- steely and emotionless.

Or so he thought…

"Alright, sorry." The elder brother put his hands up in apology before slinging his bag over his shoulder and picking up his coat. "You're big children now, I forgot. Laters Ethan."

He left the staffroom and closed the door behind him. He then headed to Connie's office, only to find it empty and her stuff gone.

"Typical." He sighed before walking quickly to reception.

"Hey Noel, you seen Connie?" he asked the man behind reception. He nodded his head.

"Yeah, went by a few seconds ago-" He didn't get the chance to finish as Cal sprinted away, through the doors and out into the car park. He scanned the staff parking area quickly before spotting her sleek black machine, and herself putting her bags into the boot.

"Mrs Beauchamp!" he called. She turned quickly to see him running towards her and sighed quietly.

"Damn," she whispered, "so close."

He approached her out of breath. "Hey, were you going to leave without me?"

"That was my intention, yes." She replied shortly before climbing into the passenger's side to put some papers into her glove box. Mirroring her, Cal went round and got in the driver's side, much to her annoyance.

"Dr Knight, please get out of my car."

"No."

"Dr Knight." She said warningly, her eyes becoming piercing. "Please get out of my car."

"No." he replied before turning to look at her. "You can't run from your problems you know, I learnt that the hard way. You're not coping with them on your own, so you need help. There's no need to be ashamed of that."

"I'm not ashamed." She said tiredly. "So again, please leave."

"So again, no." He studied her for a few seconds, watching how she fiddled with her ring nervously, or messed with the button at the bottom of her sleeve.

"What are you so afraid of Connie?" he asked quietly.

This threw her. She sat for a few minutes, staring intently out of her window, watching as her team left the building laughing and smiling, as if they didn't have a care in the world. The woman let out the breath she didn't realise she had been holding, and looked at the man sat next to her.

"I'm scared of what will happen next." She whispered, blinking rapidly in order to hold back the tears that were threatening to make an appearance. She looked up at Cal's face as it went from thoughtful, to concerned.

"Where are your car keys?"

"Pardon?"

"I said, where are your car keys?"

She paused before nodding to her handbag on the dashboard. Cal pulled it down and found the keys, before placing it gently on Connie's knee and starting up the engine.

They drove in silence. Connie staring out the window in another world entirely, and Cal focusing intently on the road; he knew if he crashed this car then he was a dead man for sure.

After 15 minutes, Cal smoothly pulled the car into the driveway. Connie was jolted from her thoughts as the car came to a stop and Call came round to open her door.

"You live here?" She asked, faintly surprised. It was a nice area, no too far from her own turf.

"Me and nibbles share one of the flats." Cal replied, shutting her door and delving into his pocket to find his key. Connie was slightly alarmed, and it showed in her face.

"It's alright, he's gone to Lily's place, and something tells me he won't be returning tonight either." A small smile passed Connie's lips.

"So are they together?" She asked, sounding faintly interested as she followed him up the steps that led to his door.

"Not too sure to be quite honest." Cal admitted, "Here we go."

With a click of the lock, the door opened and the doctor led his boss inside.
