"MAAAXXXX!" Came the scream from Robyn, she'd been outside and witnessed Max being run over. She ran over to him as Dixie and Iain had rushed over to tend to him.

Inside the staff had rushed into reception to see what the commotion was all about. Connie couldn't believe her eyes.

"We need to close this hospital, NOW!" She ordered. "I need all non emergency cases diverting to St James, Tess can you arrange that?" She asked.

"Right away." Tess replied.

"Charlie, call the police and the fire brigade, we need that driver out." Connie pointed to the car smashed against the wall. "Was anybody injured?"

"Not in here." Louise told her.

"Ok, I need to call Hanssen and let him know. Where's Dr Hanna?" Connie asked.

"I saw her going upstairs about ten minutes ago." Ethan offered. "Shall I go get her?"

"We need help out here!" Iain had put his head through the door as much as he could past the crashed car. "Max has been injured! We need help now!"

"Oh god." Came the murmurings.

"Ok, can you get him into a trolley and bring him through the side entrance? We have no chance through here? What are his injuries?" Connie asked.

"We've got him stabilised, his legs are in a bad way, potential pelvic fracture, he's unconscious so won't feel a thing." Iain told them.

"Ok, get him into resus as fast as you can, someone call the surgeons, sounds like he'll need it, I'll take charge of this. I know he's one of us but I'm going to need you all to remain professional, understand?"

Connie told the team who nodded subduedly.

"Charlie, please call Henrik for me and explain?" Charlie had got back from his earlier phone calls and left again immediately.

"What about Dr Hanna?" Ethan asked.

Connie took a deep breath. "Dr Hardy, I need you to find her and let her know what's happened, take her to the relatives room, under no circumstance let her into Resus, we don't know the full extent of what we are dealing with, ok?"

"Yes Mrs Beauchamp." Ethan ran up the stairs as Max was arriving into Resus.

He knocked on the door to Zoe's office.

"Come in." Zoe shouted without looking up, engrossed in her paperwork.

"Ethan? What are you doing here? And what was that noise?" Zoe asked.

"Erm... A car crashed through the ED. Drunk we think." Ethan began.

"Oh no, is everyone ok?" Zoe asked.

"Well..." Ethan stumbled.

"Ethan what is it? Is it Max?" Zoe was panicking.

"Yes. Dr Hanna, he was hit by the driver and run over, he's in Resus now." Ethan told her.

Zoe stood up and rushed to the door and down the stairs.

"Zoe! You're to stay in the relatives room!" Ethan called after her. "Great!" He sighed. Despite those five inch heels, she was fast.

Zoe crashed through the doors of Resus. "Max?" She cried.

"Zoe! Where's Dr Hardy? He was meant to be keeping you out of here!" Connie asked as Ethan came through the door.

"Oh my god." Zoe said as she saw Max lying on the trolley, hooked up to machines, machines she used everyday, she never thought it'd be Max on them.

"Zoe, you can't be here, you know that." Connie advised.

"What's the damage?" Zoe ignored the comment.

Connie sighed. "He's going up to theatre now, they will need to assess the extent of the damage in there, his pelvis is also broken."

"His legs?" Zoe asked.

Connie didn't say anything.

"Connie?" Zoe pushed.

"His left leg is shattered. That took the brunt of the car, he's got a number of fractures. We have the best surgeons though Zoe. Remember that."

"He could lose his leg." Zoe said quietly.

"I'm sure it won't come to that. The surgeons are here now." Connie said.

"I'm going with him." Zoe demanded.

"No, Zoe. Robyn is in the relatives room. Go see her. You'll be no use sat outside theatre will you?" Connie told her.

Zoe hesitated, and left the room.

Robyn was sat in the relatives room with Lofty. She stood up as she saw Zoe.

"Have you seen him?" She asked.

Zoe nodded.

"How is he?" Robyn asked.

Zoe couldn't hold back her tears.

"Hey, come on." Robyn hugged her.

"Sorry," Zoe wiped her eyes. "Erm, he's gone to theatre. His fractured his pelvis and shattered his leg, they need to assess the damage properly."

"Oh god, will he be able to walk again? That's some damage." Lofty asked.

"We don't know, he's been unconcious so they don't know if there's any paralysis." Zoe explained.

Robyn was crying silent tears, this was her only sibling, how could it have happened.

"This is all my fault." Zoe said. "If I'd have just met him when I was supposed to none of this would have happened."

"That's not true." Lofty told her. "Nobody was expecting a car to crash into the department, it's his fault not yours, you can't think like that."

"I can't be in here. I need to do something." Zoe said.

"Like what?" Robyn asked.

"I don't know. He'll need clothes and stuff won't he? He doesn't even own pyjamas, I should go buy some." Zoe was talking constantly as she walked into reception.

"I need to get Max some pyjamas." She stated to Connie.

"Absolutely, he's going to be in surgery a while, do what you need to do."

Zoe walked into town in a daze, she didn't want to be anywhere near a car right now. She approached a shop selling menswear. What would he like? What size is he? He hated pyjamas, he always slept in his boxers. How many pairs would he need? The questions buzzed through her mind as she was questioned by a sales assistant.

She bought the pyjamas absentmindedly and left the shop. She bought toiletries for him and towels. She couldn't stop buying. He would need all of this, she only wanted the best stuff for him, her Max, the love of her life. A single tear rolled down her face. She couldn't lose him, after everything that had happened. This time last week she was sat on a beach in paradise, now, well it was unthinkable. Max was strong. He'd be ok. He had to be.

Zoe returned to the hospital and went to the relatives room, Robyn was asleep in the chair.

The surgeon knocked on the door.

"What? What is it?" Robyn awoke with a start.

"Ssh, it's ok Robyn, Mr Campbell has just got here." Zoe told her. "How is he?"

"He sustained a lot of damage to his leg as you know, fortunately we managed to pin it and save the leg. Unfortunately until Max is awake we don't know the full extent of any back injuries." Mr Campbell told them.

"You mean if he's paralysed?" Robyn asked.

"Yes." Mr Campbell replied simply.

"So what now?" Zoe asked.

"We wait."
