Chapter Four.

Jeff pulled up outside a nice looking house in a smarter area of Holby, Hannah was relieved that there weren't any yobs hanging around this place, she'd had enough of them for one day. Dixie grabbed the medical pack and followed Hannah up the garden path, she rang the bell and an elderly woman answered the door. 'Thank goodness you're here, it's my husband, he's not feeling very well.'

'Okay, where is he?'

'In the lounge.' Hannah followed the woman into the lounge, her husband was sat in a chair.

'Hello, I'm Hannah and that's Dixie, what's your name?'

'Derek, and my wife is Lilly.'

'Nice to meet you Derek, Lilly is a lovely name, your wife tells me that you're not feeling very well.'

'My chest hurts and so does my arm. You're a pretty one.'

'My husband is a terrible flirt, please do ignore him.'

'That's all right, it is not often I get a compliment from such a distinguished gentleman. Is there anything else you are feeling that I should know about?'

'I'm struggling to breathe and my stomach hurts.' Hannah noticed that he was sweating and his pulse was irregular and quite weak.

'I'm just going to give you some aspirin, it will help you to feel better.'

'What's wrong with me?' Hannah looked at Dixie, she thought that she should tell him the truth, but it might make him worse. Dixie nodded and Hannah took that as permission to tell him. 'You're in the early stages of having a heart attack. We need to get you into hospital as quickly as we can.'

'I won't die, will I?'

'No, like I said, you are still in the very early stages, your wife did the right thing calling us out.' The man nodded and Hannah turned to his wife. 'Do you want to come with us? There is enough room for you in the ambulance.'

'I do, I don't want to leave him alone, we've been married for fifty years.' Hannah smiled, it was always nice to hear something like that.

'That's lovely, I hope I have the pleasure of being married to someone for that long one day.' Dixie and Hannah helped Derek into the ambulance and Hannah linked him up to the ECG machine straight away.

Dixie watched Hannah work, she was in complete control of the situation, she had made Derek and Lilly feel at ease almost immediately. Dixie looked at the readout from the ECG, Hannah's instinct was spot on, Derek was in the early stages of a heart attack. 'Hannah, good call, you were right. We'll be at Holby in five minutes.'

'Thanks Dixie.' Hannah turned to Derek and his wife. 'It won't be long until we get you sorted out, don't worry, the doctors at Holby are very good.' Hannah watched over Derek as she completed his paperwork, she wasn't sure what the doctors at Holby would be like and how they would treat her. She had met them briefly yesterday, but she still didn't know them all that well. Hannah felt nervous, she was going to have to tell the doctors everything about the patient and she hoped that she had everything they needed to take care of Derek, she just wanted to do her job well.

Hannah jumped out of the ambulance when it stopped, she started to wheel Derek into the emergency department, her nerves were getting worse as she approached the reception area. 'Dixie, do you think that you should take care of the handover, the doctors know you better than they do me.'

'No, I don't, this is your patient Hannah, finish the job.'

'Okay, I will.' Hannah nodded, Dixie had a point, and she really wanted to see it through to the end, she took a deep breath and walked over to the doctor that approached them. 'What have you got for me?'

'Nice to see you again Zoe.'

'You too Hannah.'

'This is Derek, sixty-four, pains in his chest and left arm, the ECG revealed he was suffering from the early stages of a heart attack. He's had a dose of aspirin and GTN spray and his GCS has been fifteen throughout.'

'Thanks Hannah.' Zoe took the paperwork and ECG reading from Hannah and they helped Derek to shift onto the bed.

'You're in good hands Derek, they'll take care of you now.'

'Thank you Hannah, for getting me here.'

'You're welcome. Take care of yourself.'

'You too, take care out there.' Hannah smiled and left resus, she took one last look at Derek through the doors, they had got him in early, he should be fine. Hannah and Dixie took the trolley back to the ambulance.

Dixie and Hannah found Jeff and Polly waiting for them in the garage. 'I believe we've earned a coffee break.'

'Jeffrey, we've only been on two shouts.'

'So, we're not on one now and that means it is time for coffee.'

'All right, go on, bring me one back too.' Dixie waited until Jeff and Polly had gone to get the coffee before she started talking to Hannah. 'You've done well today, the Farmead Estate has scared off many a paramedic in the past. Stopping me from getting hit by a brick is a way to get into my good books. I really do have to thank you properly for that.'

'You can just owe me one.' Dixie raised her eyebrow, she hadn't been expecting Hannah to say that. 'I'm joking, I would do it again if I had to.'

'The way you dealt with that elderly couple was perfect, don't be so reticent about dealing with the doctors, they don't bite.'

'I just don't know them yet, it can be intimidating talking to people you don't know, I appreciated the straight talking though.'

'Pardon?'

'The telling me to get in there and do it bit.'

'Sometimes I can be a bit bossy, you will tell me if I get too bossy, won't you?'

'I will, but it was just what I needed at the time.'

'You're a skilled paramedic Hannah, once you've found your feet you'll be just fine.'

'Thanks Dixie.' Hannah smiled and Dixie quickly looked in the opposite direction, she was trying not to realise that Hannah was pretty when she smiled.

Jeff handed Dixie her coffee, he figured that now was a good time to question Hannah and find out a few things about her. He hadn't had the chance yesterday, but now they had some downtime and he was going to use it to his advantage. 'So Hannah, we've barely had a chance to get to know each other, can I ask you some questions?'

'Sure, as long as you don't ask me if you can you date me.' Jeff glared at Dixie when she laughed.

'She knows you too well already Jeffrey.'

'As if I would do that. Do you have a boyfriend?'

'No, I don't, I'm single.'

'Interesting, what's your preference, men, women, or both?'

'Jeffrey, leave the poor woman alone.'

'What, it's a valid question, how are we meant to get her a date if we don't know who she likes?'

'It's okay Dixie,' Hannah said. 'That is for me to know and you never to find out.'

'Spoilsport, typical women, can't get a straight answer from any of them.'

'Need I remind you that you are surrounded by three women, Jeffrey Collier? If you're not careful then I will set Hannah and Polly on you.'

'Please do, I could use some female attention.' Dixie shook her head, Jeff was harmless, but he really did act like a child at times.

Polly watched Jeff try to find out some things about Hannah, she wasn't giving much away about herself. Jeff's question about her sexuality had been quite invasive, Polly decided that she would move the conversation away from that and towards Saturday. 'Hannah, are you looking forward to Saturday?'

'Yes, very much so. We're still playing right?'

'Yes, we are,' Jeff jumped in. 'Polly are you going to be on my team?' Polly looked at Jeff, she was usually on his team whenever they played games.

'Not this time, I think I will be on Hannah's team.'

'You're abandoning me?'

'Sorry Jeff, Hannah is going to be my partner, so I think we need to work together.'

'She's got you there Jeffrey, I think it is a good idea, it will give you two a chance to get to know each other better.' Dixie smiled sweetly.

'What is it with the women teaming up against me?'

'I'll bring my remotes with me, I have a Wii at home. I think I will bring some games with me too, has anyone tried zumba or just dance?' Hannah asked. Polly watched Dixie's eyes light up. 'Hey Jeffrey, I think I would quite like to see you zumba, see if you have any rhythm.'

'If I have to dance then so do you, Miss Dixon.'

'Bring it on.' Polly linked arms with Hannah, she was really looking forward to playing games on Saturday, Jeff doing zumba was likely to be very funny.

Hannah was happy, she was getting closer to her colleagues, David had been right about the Holby team. They were professional when they needed to be, but they knew how to have fun too. Dixie was very supportive, Hannah appreciated her straight-forward approach to things, if something needed to be said then Dixie would say it. Polly was a sweet girl, she was definitely looking forward to working with her when this week was over. Hannah would miss Jeff and Dixie and working with them, but she understood that Polly needed a full time partner and she didn't want to break up the partnership that Jeff and Dixie had, they were clearly firm friends. She wondered about them, they lived together and yet they weren't married or together as a couple. They both appeared to be single, Hannah didn't want to pry too much, Jeff and Dixie were happy as they were and that was their business.

The end of the day soon arrived and Hannah had said goodbye to Polly, Jeff and Dixie, she got the bus home and put the kettle on the minute she walked in. She settled herself down on the sofa with a cup of tea. Hannah picked up her phone when it rang. 'Hi James.'

'Hannah, how is your first week going?'

'It's going well, everyone is very nice and welcoming.'

'Are you sure? I can come to you and beat them up.'

'No, James, really, everything is fine. I know you're one of my best friends, but you don't have to offer to beat people up.'

'So they're being nice to you?'

'Yes, I've been invited to Jeff and Dixie's house on Saturday night, supposedly to celebrate my first week at Holby. I think they just want to learn more about me.'

'That's good, isn't it? At least they are interested in you.'

'True. How is Anna?'

'She's good, she's not here at the minute as she has gone to meet her mum for a coffee.'

'Are you still going to ask her to marry you?'

'Yes, this weekend, it is all arranged.'

'Good, she's a lovely woman.'

'I wish that my mother thought so, she looks down on her because she isn't wealthy.'

'What a load of rubbish, this isn't the dark ages, you can marry whoever you want to.'

'I know, I still think that our parents want us to get married.'

'Now that would be weird.'

'Yes it would, you are in a league of your own Hannah and one day you will find the perfect person for you.'

'I know.'

'I have to go, I want to check the restaurant reservation for Friday.'

'Don't worry, she won't say no.'

'I hope you're right.'

'Call me the minute that she says yes.'

'Goodbye Hannah.'

'Bye James.' Hannah put the phone down and turned her mind to more practical matters, she had to sort out her clean uniform for tomorrow.
