Lucie rushed outside after Lily.
"Lily!" She called. Ethan followed swiftly after her. Lily hastily put her glances back on to her face, wiping her eye one final time before Lucie reached her.
"Lily." She sighed softer. Ethan hung back, Lily's back facing away from him. Lucie melted and wrapped her arms around Lily. She pulled away from the comforting hug quickly.
"Lily, I'm sorry but you can't... We all have to just do our jobs. We can't afford to have you turning into a detective, you just have to get on and be a doctor." Lucie looked away, over Lily's shoulder at Ethan.
"Ethan blames me for their deaths." Lily sniffed. Lucie was taken aback. Ethan flinched and shook his head. He didn't, blaming Lily was so far from his mind, he didn't know how she could possibly think he could blame her.
"No." Lucie blurted out. "Oh, God no. Of course he doesn't!" She looked back into Lily's eyes, starting to water again.
"Why not? I do." She gulped.
"Oh, Lily. What happened wasn't your fault!" Lucie insisted. "Wasn't anybody's fault."
Lily's eyes grew wider. An idea occurred to her and she ran the events through her mind.
"What if it was though?"
Max groaned overdramatically, leaning on the wheelchair. Lucie rolled her eyes.
"Let me guess: 'I'm not going to lie; I'm in agony'?" She asked sarcastically. Max looked at her pointedly. She sighed and her posture shifted back to concerned mode of Lucie. She waited until Charlie was passing and then placed her hand on Max's shoulder.
"Are you sure you are okay? I think you should probably go home and rest." She looked up at Charlie. "What so you think?"
Charlie looked over at Max who let out a loud groan.
"Go on then." He reluctantly allowed. Max grinned to the Doctor on his side. He spun quickly whilst Charlie's back was turned. Lucie shook her head in disbelief.
"Jammy git." She murmured. She wandered slightly further down the corridor and ran into Ethan.
"Shit, sorry!" She swore, holding her hands up in apology. Ethan brushed her apology away.
"It's fine. Actually, I was just coming to find you." He said. Lucie looked up at him suspiciously.
"Why?" She asked slowly.
"I noticed you've been crossed off the rota for the 22nd." He stated. Lucie raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah I have." She began to walk away, but Ethan caught her wrist.
"Why? There's like, three of us on there now." He insisted. Lucie pulled away.
"I sorted it with Connie, she said its fine." She explained, with a strong sense finality.
"Yes, but-"
"-I said it's sorted!" Lucie snapped. She breathed out heavily, and lowered her hand, slightly shakily. "It's sorted, Ethan."
The lights went completely out. Screams of shock echoed through out the building. Lights from phones suddenly lit up dimly the work areas. The inspector hurried up the steps, demanding directions from a passing nurse. Lily caught sight of the movement and quickly hurried past her. Ethan desperately tried to gain control of the situation, along with assistance from Charlie. Lucie froze for a second and then threw herself into calming down patients, nurses and doctors alike. A rushing bustle of movement darted about in the shadows of the ED, and the whole place looked horrifying, like a scene from a nightmare. A small child burst out crying next to Lucie.
"I want my mummy." He wailed. Lucie crouched down at his side.
"Oh, I know sweetheart." She soothed. She wrapped an arm around the five years shoulders, internally complaining about the amount of comforting she had done tonight. Secretly she agreed with the boy, there was nothing more she wanted than to have her mother here. Her mother always used to be good in situations like this.
A scream rose above the rest of the quieting din from somewhere above Ethan. He recognised that voice, and it filled his heart with panic and dread. He was moving before he even realised who it was. The inspector was being pulled off Lily, who, in floods of panicked tears, wiped her mouth frantically hoping nothing had gotten in it. Ethan rushed over to her.
"Lily, are you alright? What's happened? What- Are you okay?" He flustered, scanning her for any signs of injury. The distressed F2 flung herself around Ethan's neck. Ethan awkwardly raised a hand, uncertainty edging his movements and placed it on Lily's back. He pulled her slightly closer and whispered in her ear.
"It's okay." He soothed. "You're okay."
"Do I get to know why you are getting the day off on Saturday?" Robyn insisted of Lucie as they grabbed their stuff out of their lockers.
"Must you?" Lucie sighed. Robyn thought about it.
"Well, if you don't want to tell me I could always tell Cal abo-" she threatened in good nature.
"Alright!" Lucie laughed. Then her face grew serious. "It's my sister's funeral. And no I don't want Ethan to know, because he'll tell Cal. And THAT, is something I definitely don't want happening." She slammed the metal door shut. Robyn, for once, looked serious.
"Oh." She replied. "I'm sorry."
Lucie forced a smile on to her face.
"Nah, it's fine. I just really wanna go home now!" She laughed. Robyn laughed along with her.
"Are you kidding me? I could do that all over again!" She replied.
"It's all those energy drinks." Noel teased at the same time as Lofty groaned out a:
"Speak for yourself."
