"Tom?" Zoe said as she met them at the ambulance. She turned her attention to the patient. "Sam?! How did this happen?"
"I'll explain it all later, but mainly, fell through one floor and landed face down on the floor below." Tom said as they put Sam on the trolley and took her into Resus.
"Tom, go to cubicles." Dixie said. "Go with Jamie. He will sort out your hand quickly."
"I want to stay with Sam." Tom said.
"I'll stay with her." Robyn said.
"No Robyn." Jeff said. "You need seeing to as well. You might have concussion. Go lie down."
"But I don't want to." Robyn said, looking through the glass as doctors busied themselves around Sam.
"Look Robyn, I'll make you a deal. I know you want to get in there as quick as I do, so if you get checked over, I will too." Tom sighed.
"Fine." Robyn said, laying down on the unoccupied bed in the cubicle next to Toms.
Jamie began to clean out Tom's wound after numbing it with local anaesthetic, and Robyn had some good news with her check over by Ash.
"You don't appear to have concussion." He told her.
"See? I told you I felt fine." She said, sitting up and hopping off the bed.
"But still take it easy." Ash said. "You were probably shocked by what happened which made you vomit."
"I'm fine honestly." Robyn said. "Well I feel better now, after…that." She said.
"Well, better out than in." Ash smiled and turned to Tom. "How are you feeling?"
"I just want to get in there and see Sam okay?" He said as Jamie began to stitch up Tom's hand.
"Well it won't be long before you can see her." Ash explained.
"If you want Tom, I can go and see if I can find anything out for you?" Robyn suggested.
"Please." Tom said and watched her go, before watching Jamie stitch up his cut.
"So how did this happen?" Jamie asked Tom, wanting to know what happened between the three of them involved.
"Well we couldn't get into the house Sam was in because the door was locked, and I smashed a window and caught my hand on it as I jumped in." Tom sighed. "Are you nearly finished?"
"Nearly, I just need to clean it up." Jamie said. "How did she get in if the door was locked?"
"I don't know Jamie. A ghost locked it." Jamie laughed.
"A ghost?"
"I'm serious." Tom said, glaring at Jamie. "There was no other way in. You should go inside that house."
"Oh. Sorry." Jamie said. "Who's house was it?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Tom snapped. "Sorry. But I just don't know every single thing. All I know is that it is a haunted house in the middle of the wood."
"I know what it is." Robyn said. "They won't let me in to see her but they said she has broken her ankle and almost definitely has concussion. They are going to take her for a CT scan."
"Thanks Robyn." Tom sighed as Jamie bandaged his hand. "So what was this house?"
"It was an old children's home. Around 200 years ago." She explained. "There was this thing that happened there. Once a month, a child would disappear from there. After all of them had disappeared, someone had found all the bodies buried in the back garden."
"Oh." Jamie said. "Wow."
"You knew…and you let Sam go there?" Tom asked.
"No. She already went and I looked it up." Robyn said. "So I tried to warn her by calling her but she hung up on me once I explained. Then she called me back when she couldn't get out."
"Oh I see." Tom said. "Well I'm glad you called me when you did."
"You were the first person I thought of to call." Robyn explained.
"Thanks."
"No problem." She smiled at Tom. "Well lets go and see if we can go and see her now."
"Good idea." He said, getting up.
They walked over to Resus just as Sam was being wheeled out. She was asleep.
"How is she?" Tom asked.
"We gave her some pain relief for her ankle which will be x-rayed right after she goes for a CT scan." Zoe told him.
"She is just concussed, right? There aren't any other complications?" Tom asked.
"We don't think so. It's just precautionary." Zoe smiled at him. "But don't worry Tom. She is going to be fine, I can promise you that."
"Thank you Zoe." Tom said. "Can I go with her to the scan?"
"Yeah I think so, just if you promise to get a hot drink and something to eat afterwards. You're a bit pale." Zoe said as the lift doors started to close.
"Will do." He said, pressing the button for the right floor. "Probably just shock."
"Yeah so eat something when we come back down. In fact, there's a coffee machine on that floor somewhere. Get one quickly before we start the scan."
"I can wait." Tom said.
"No Tom. I don't like your colour. Your face is almost white."
"Because I'm tired."
"Okay then. Eat, and then sleep." Zoe said as the doors opened on the right floor.
"I will get coffee now then." Tom sighed, and went the opposite was from Zoe and Sam to find a coffee machine.
He held his coffee in both hands to warm him up a bit and went to find them loading Sam into the scanner.
"How long will she be asleep for?" Tom asked Zoe.
"She will probably wake in the morning, maybe early hours." Zoe explained. "She was quite tired."
"I see." Tom said. "Strong pain killers then."
"Yeah." Zoe said, as the scan begun.
Tom sat and watched until the end and he was starting to fall asleep as his coffee warmed him up.
"Tom, go make use of the on call room." Zoe smiled.
"Can't I stay with Sam?"
"You can but it won't be comfortable." Zoe said.
"I'm staying with her then." Tom said.
