Adam

He was stood over her, his eyes menacing. He was speaking in an angry whisper but I couldn't catch what he was saying. She looked petrified. She was visibly shaking and she was trying to move out of his reach. From that second onwards I was convinced that it had been him. Her reaction had said it all. I stood shocked staring at the scene in front of me.

"Excuse me what do you think you are doing?" Tess's strong voice broke into the moment. He looked like he had been caught trying to kill her and he took a couple of seconds to recover. He reached out yanking Kirsty up of the bed and into his arms. She didn't even try to get away or break free of his grip this time, she had already given up. He stood daring us to advance on him while he held one arm around Kirsty's neck and the other around her waist, letting us know how easily he could hurt her and he was. He had removed her oxygen mask and had ripped the drip out of her hand. Her blood ran down the back of her hand weaving between her fingers before collecting at the tip to finally fall to the floor in big droplets.

Kirsty breathing was uneven, she was in pain. She moved her hands up to his arm smearing it in blood as she tried to pull it away from her neck but had trouble because one arm was in a plaster cast and the other was supporting an infected second degree burn. Her breathing was becoming small gasps and it looked like her legs weren't supporting her any longer.

"Ok ok calm down. Let Kirsty go, she has very serious injuries which you are making worst. This isn't going to solve anything." He just sneered and shook her like a rag doll.

"I will do whatever I want and there nothing you or anybody else can do to stop me." I was desperate, Kirsty looked about to collapse, Jay had gone for security, Tess was trying to tell Kirsty it was going to be ok and I stood there over whelmed. I didn't know how to hoax him down, Kirsty was best at that. Kirsty would have known what to do. She was amazing with Simone I don't know how she did it. Maybe if I knew I could help Kirsty in the same way. Her reaction to Simone's mother makes more sense now. She went to hit her to lash out like the way he was always lashing out at her. She was appalled at herself; I'd seen it in her reaction. She desperately didn't want to become him or anything like him.

I looked at her she was looking at me for reassurance and help but all I did was stand there unable to move.

"Security's on its way." Jay came back into the room, "She can't breathe. You're holding her too tight." But he was cut short.

"I'm holding her exactly the way I want to." And with that he rubbed his hand suggestively slowly cross her stomach. It made me feel sick; he hadn't just been laying into her. Wasn't he supposed to be her brother; I didn't want to think about it. Kirsty had been through much more than we had first thought.

Kirsty passed out and David loosened his grip around her. She hung limply in his arms.

"Right then were off," he said casually as he scooped Kirsty up into his arms and headed for the door in between us. We were all stunned. Not one of us attempted to move into his path until he got to the door and then I realised there was a possibility of us loosing her, again and only a couple of hours apart from last time. She wasn't stable enough to last with out treatment for long. I had to stop him.

"Stop." I shouted catching the unwanted attention of the whole ED.

"David, what are you doing?" Warren appeared in front of David. He seemed confused not mad. Did he really have no idea? When David didn't respond he turned to me with a questioning look.

"Bring Kirsty back inside she is seriously ill and needs treatment." I say in a voice that is much calmer than I'm feeling.

"Me and your wife are just going to go for a little drive." He gloated to Warren.

"You bastard, it's you. How could you, I trusted you, she trusted you. You're my brother; she's your sister in law." He was ready to lunge but was very aware that David was clutching Kirsty to him, who was still lifeless in his arms. The whole ED was in silent, gawping at what was taking place.

Emily

I'd been so sure it was her husband I never stopped to consider it being anyone else and now that person stood gloating in front of everyone and putting Kirsty's life at risk. She was still limp in his arms her head lulled against his chest with her burnt arm hanging loosely from her body. Her hand, which once supported her drip, now leaving a bread crumb trail of blood over the floor.

"David you're seriously endangering Kirsty's life if you take her out of the hospital." I say desperately trying to get him to give up and return her to get the help she urgently needed. He paid no attention and continued his staring match with Warren which was getting nobody anywhere.

Security arrived blocking the exit and abruptly stopped the staring. David started to panic, his eyes darting around the ED frantically looking for a way out. I saw the open lift behind him and prayed that it shut before he noticed. My prayers were left unanswered as he backed into the lift grinning evilly as the doors closed in front of him. Adam, Jay and security made a dash for the stairs trying to cut him off before he got out.

We stood staring at the closed lift door no one knowing what to do or say about what just happened. Warren was in tears and was being comforted by a nurse I didn't know.

"Everyone back to work." Tess instructed. Wow just another day at holby city ED. I thought it was impossible there was no way that an ED could be as bad as this. I never thought it could be as bad as all the papers made out but from what I'd just seen it was. Nobody around me seemed that shocked about what had just taken place. Tess ferried everyone back to work and within a couple of minuets it was like nothing had happened.

I stood still not quiet believing what just happened when Adam and Jay rushed back down the stairs. Not good they haven't found her yet.

"Has he come back this way?" Adam directed his question at me because I was the only one still stood in the same spot. I shook my head and his face fell a little.

"We've lost them," he stated event though he didn't need to, whilst he brought both hands up to his head brushing them thought his short hair. I look into his eyes they were hurting so much and that's when I realise, he loves her.

"Oh Adam," I say empathetically reaching out a putting my hand on his arm. He shrugged away from my touch scared that he'd been so transparent. "I won't tell anyone." I try to reassure him.

"Thanks," he looked up from the floor, "I've got to go and check with security."

"Go, go." I say bringing I a more light hearted atmosphere and with that he was off, racing down the hall with Jay hot on his heels.

Zoe

My mobile rang seconds after David had disappeared into the lift with Kirsty. I didn't even bother to check who was calling I just answered. I was too shocked to take in much of anything. I didn't even know who I had spoken to on the phone. It was a woman but that was about all I got. I hung up the phone when I heard the dialling tone ring out meaning that they had hung up. Tess had instructed everybody to get back to work but Emily stood in front of me in the same spot enable to move.

Warren had been moved to the relative's room but didn't know what to do with himself. He paced awkwardly backwards and forwards limping slightly on one leg. I'd heard that he had M.E. but it didn't strike me until now that that he wouldn't be able to do everything for himself and the person who's shoulders it would fall onto would be Kirsty's. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her she was so young yet had so much responsibility. I at her age I would be out getting hammered almost every night and she, she already had a teenage daughter was a career for her husband whilst his brother took advantage of her.

I thought back to when Kirsty knew about me not being pregnant. She had tried to help me, to warn me that if I didn't straighten out my lies then I would loss Nick. I didn't listen to her and instead lied to her. She had kept that secret for me. I had added to her already enormous burden and never once thanked her.

I looked out of the relative's room window to see Emily still stood in the same place. I opened the door and went to talk to her. She saw me approaching her and spoke first.

"They lost them. They don't know whether they are still in the hospital or not." She looked on the verge of tears.

"Hey, come here." I brought her into a hug, "its ok they will find her. She's strong she will get through this."

"I'm not so sure she looked so broken this morning." I sighed she was right she really did look broken with out the twinkle in her eye.

"We will all be around to help her get through this and she will because we all love her." I was being sentimental, scary! My phone rang again interrupting our conversation. I looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see who was calling me.

"Hi Jess what's up."
