When Zoe and Linda got home Nick was more intreasted in Linda's head than Zoe. In away she understood because Linda had been injured in Nick's hospital and Nick only came in for an hour leaving Freya in his office. Nick had made dinner for everyone and as its Tuesday he had made chicken nuggets and chips. Nick sat next to Freya. He thought she was a wonderful kid and that they picked the right kid. After dinner Freya went to bed.
It was the next moring and Nick went to the corner shop to buy a chicken and bacon sandwich, packet of ready salted crisps, chocolate lolly, banana youghout and stawberries for Freya's lunch. As he walked back he sore a group of men hurting someone. Nick stopped them and went to see if the woman was ok but to his horror it was Linda and she had a black eye.
"Ok Linda your safe now", Nick said to Linda who's eyes were watering.
"Their his brothers", Linda said.
"Who's brothers", Nick asked.
Linda paused and just looked at Nick.
"Linda", Nick got louder.
"Simon Ropper's brothers", Linda replied.
Nick wasn't happy and gave Zoe the shopping.
"Make Freya's lunch I have to go", Nick said.
Before Zoe could answer Nick left. He suspected Linda had some broken ribs and a lot of bruising. He strapped Linda in and drove to work with her trying to calm her crying in pain. Once the arrived Nick helped Linda out and got a text from Zoe asking if he was with Linda, Nick replied yes and got Linda into the ED and went to Noel.
"Noel it's an emergency I went to the shop and then came back and found a group of men hurting Linda she needs to be seen now", Nick said.
"Your the boss", Noel answered.
"Oh yeah", Nick replied.
"Here", Noel said after filling out Linda's details.
"Linda Andrews", Nick called.
Linda followed Nick into cubicle seven but struggled to get on to the bed so Nick gave her a boost up. She layed on the bed looking scared and very pale. Nick done her temputure which was normal. She then had an x- ray showing two broken ribs as she complained it hurt when she breathed. Nick made Linda comfortable and left for a while. He came back and treated her before discharging her. Linda got up and sat in the staff room all day as Tess said she shouldn't work. When Zoe went to check on her Linda had fallen asleep so Zoe put a blanket over her.
"She looks so cute", Tess said quietly so she wouldn't wake Linda.
"I know", Zoe whispered back.
Zoe and Tess both smiled looking at Linda and then got back to work. Nick found Zoe and took her to his office.
"How is she", Nick asked.
"Asleep", Zoe replied.
Nick sat there taking notes about another Paitent he couldn't wait to go home.
