He had no idea where he was, how he got there or what he was going to do now. Ethan felt around in his pocket. It was empty. Suddenly he remembered where his phone was- on charge in his room. It was incredibly useful there. Ethan looked around the room. It was the kitchen. He was beginning to come to his senses. His head throbbed and his leg burned. Once again he glanced around the kitchen, his eyes resting on the landline phone on the counter. The counter that was 10 feet away from him and towered 4 feet over his position on the floor. He was stuck. Well and truly stuck. He couldn't twist himself around to stand up, there wasn't anything to grab on to and there wasn't anyone to pull him up. Slowly and painfully Ethan scooted towards the phone. It took 10 minutes for him to get there and have the phone in his hands. He began punching numbers into the phone before deleting them and punching in a new sequence of numbers.

'Hello Holby City Hospital Emergency Department, how can I help?'

'Hi Zoe, it's Ethan.'

'Oh. Hello. Is everything okay?' Concern was beginning to creep into her voice.

'I've just had a bit of a fall, that's all.'

'Do you want me to get Cal?' The concern was still growing.

'No! No, thank you. He doesn't need to get involved yet.'

'Do you want an ambulance? You're going to have to tell me exactly what's wrong.'

'No! No ambulance. If I arrive on blue lights and sirens Cal is going to freak.'

'Ethan- what happened?'

'I slipped on the wet floor and fell over. I also hit my head on the way down.'

'Did you fall unconscious at all?'

There was silence on the line.

'Ethan?!'

Something wasn't right.

'Robyn?!'

'Yeah?'

'We're going to Ethan's flat. Do you have a key?'

'Yeah it's in my locker with my keys . Why are we going?'

'Ethan's had a fall.'

'Do you want me to get Cal?'

'No thanks.'

'But-'

'No- Ethan was very specific about it.'

'So what do you want me to do?'

'Can you get a car ready? I think we're going to need some equipment. I'll tell Charlie where we're going and hopefully he can keep Cal occupied.'

'On it.'

Zoe sighed and looked around for Charlie- he was talking to Cal. Great.

'Hi Caleb. Charlie can I have a word?'

Cal nodded and wandered off to reception.

'Something wrong?'

'Ethan's had a fall and it sounds kind of nasty. Robyn and I are going to check on him.'

'Okay. What about Cal?'

'Could you keep him occupied for when we come back- I'm pretty sure we'll have to bring him in.'

Robyn appeared by Zoe's side.

'All ready.' She had got changed into her normal clothes and was tightly grasping a set of keys in one hand.

'Thanks Charlie!' Zoe and Robyn rushed to the car. Originally Zoe hopped into the drivers seat, she was used to driving this car fast but there was a problem. She had no idea where she was going. Robyn on the other hand knew exactly where she was going but wasn't used to driving the car. They couldn't put the address in the sat nav because it would be monitored- Cal could easily find out. The decision was made that Robyn would drive as fast as she could. Maybe not the faster of the drivers but she definitely knew where she was going.

Zoe banged on the door.

'Ethan?!'

She tried ringing the bell again before going back to hitting the door with her fists. Robyn eventually joined her with all the kit. Zoe had grabbed the first aid bag and taken the stairs whereas Robyn took the old lift with the equipment. She fumbled around in her pocket until she found the keys. Her hand shook as she inserted then into the lock. With a click the lock slid aside and the the door pushed open.

'Ethan?!'

Silence.

'Where is he? Maybe he isn't home? What if he-'

'Shhh.'

'What is he went for help?'

'Seriously Robyn. Please be quiet. It's important.'

Robyn fell silent. They strained their ears to try and hear any sound of life. Robyn began to open her mouth but promptly closed it when met with a stern stare from Zoe. She could just hear something. A strange raspy sound. Like an old cat at the end of it's days. It was coming from the kitchen around the corner. Zoe cautiously approached the door. The sound was getting louder. She pushed open the door. No luck. She turned to leave. A loud groan. She turned back and looked around the corner. Lying, unconscious on the floor was Ethan.
