I welcomed Kirsty into my office, as she brought the two cups of coffee we'd just brought, into the room.

"Can you put it down on the desk?" I asked, but I got a disapproving look from Kirsty. "Please?" I pleaded.

"Fine." She responded. I moved some of the patient's files and placed a coaster where I wanted her to place the cup. I gestured toward the empty chair behind Kirsty and she sat. I perched on the desk.

"Now, what's troubling you?" I asked her, sounding like a menacing councilor.

"It's nothing, really." She whimpered. "Well,"

"Well, what? Kirsty?" I said, almost too powerfully, she winced at every syllable. "Sorry, I can be so un-sensitive at times!" I joked, but she was deadly serious.

"Warren." That's all she said. 'Warren'.

"Warren, what? Has he hurt you again?" I asked, softly. "Kirst, we're all trying to help, but I need you to tell me what is wrong. This is affecting your work now. It's gone too far." I said.

"He abuses me. He's got ME, so he says. But, if he's got Muscular Dystrophy, then how can he keep control of all his muscles when he's attacking me in the middle of the evening?" She asked, tears running down her cheeks. I put my hand on her shoulder and pulled her into a hug. She cried into my chest, getting my scrubs wet, but I didn't mind. It was Kirsty, you couldn't be mad at her.

Adam called me into his office earlier, and I told him everything. Warren will kill me.

Oh, shit. I forgot about tonight. I made reservations at this Indian restaurant, and he'll kill me if I'm not there!

I really couldn't care at the moment though. I had lunch in the staffroom with Adam and Jay, and Jay told us about the time he went to Mexico. He said that he went on one of the bull rides. He 'claimed' to have stayed on it for three minutes.

"About tonight, I kind of forgot I had plans with Nita and Warren," I told them. Adam looked disappointed the moment the words formed in my mouth.

"Sorry, I can't make it."

"Well, we can all go tomorrow night. Jeff and Dixie'll be coming as well. Nick and Ruth will be locked up in their offices all night, probably." Adam assumed. I laughed at the remark, and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Well, I'll leave you to it." Jay said, getting up. "Tess said I need to do obs for cubicle two. Oh, what fun!" he said sarcastically, leaving me and Adam in the staffroom alone.

"So," I began, but Adam stuck his finger in the air, silencing me.

"Can you hear that?" He said. He got down on his hands and knees and placed his head onto the floor.

"What? Get up!" I demanded, pulling him up, but he shook off my hand.

"It's a ticking noise. Coming from under the floorboards."

"Oh, yeah right. Someone snook in here, and placed a bomb under the floorboards." I said, taking the piss.

"Shut up! Get Big Mac, he knows what a bomb sounds like; he was on the front line." Adam ordered me.

"Big Mac, we need help in here!" I shouted to the porter, who came rushing to me.

"What's up doc?" he asked me, and I handed him over to Adam.

"There's a ticking noise coming from down here, what do you reckon?" Adam asked the out of breath man.

"Well, it certainly sounds like a time bomb. Call the police and the fire brigade!"Big Mac exclaimed.

"Noel, get the police and fire brigade down here, pronto. And call lockdown!" I said, panic ringing from my voice.

"Mac, get Kirsty out of here, I need to be here to tell the police where it is." Adam told Mac.

"NO! I'm not leaving you!" I screamed, slamming my hand over my mouth. "I mean, I won't leave you on your own. I won't let you die, Adam Trueman!" I wasn't meant to say that.

"Mac, take her. Now." Adam said, and Big Mac took me outside. The alarm was blaring, and as soon as Mac's back was turned I ran back into the staffroom, and locked the door, leaving myself and Adam trapped.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked, puzzled. I strode toward him and kissed him.

His lips were so soft and gentle, unlike Warren's who would usually beat me and force himself upon me.

"Wow. Wha…" He began.

"Sorry, I lost it for a second." I interrupted.

"Well, it was the best-last kiss I ever had!" He laughed.

All of the staff and the patients were outside the ED, not aware of what was going on inside.
