It was mid afternoon and what was usually their busiest time of the day actually seemed pretty quiet for once. Zoe went out for a cigarette in the hope of seeing Max but he didn't show like he normally does causing Zoe to wonder where he could be. She walked into the ED and bumped into Rita and Robyn who were gossiping about a gorgeous guy who they had just treated in cubicles. Zoe walked over to the front reception desk and realised that Noel wasn't there either and instantly knew that the boys were up to something.
"Louise, where's Noel?" Zoe questioned causing Louise to stutter a little.
"In the toilet, I think"
"Don't lie to me Louise. Robyn or Rita, where's Max?"
"He, um... Took a um... Patient to another ward." Robyn said looking down to the floor.
"If someone doesn't tell what's going on, you two will be stuck in cubicles for the week and Louise I'll ask if the cleaners could use your help next week." Zoe said marking her authority. As much as she hated to do it she wanted to know everything that was going on in her hospital.
"They're in the basement." Louise quickly replied and the others glared at her.
"What? These hands are not made for cleaning!" She said.
"They did this last time as well."Rita added and Robyn just nodded.
"Thank you. I'll make sure it's dealt with." Zoe said before she briskly walked away with a huge smile on her face knowing that Max's face would be priceless when she shows up.

Max had just won the wheelchair race meaning that the score was now 2-1 with Cal in the lead. This round was really important otherwise Cal would win the whole competition. The next activity was gurney surfing. Both Max and Cal had to stand on the gurneys and using a broom try and reach the other end of the basement as quick as possible. The gurneys were left in the basement because they were old and breaking apart making it harder for Max and Cal to stand on.

"3, 2, 1 RACE!" Noel shouted. At this moment the sound of high heels coming down the basement stairs echoed meaning all of the staff heard and turned around to see Zoe there but unfortunately Max and Cal didn't hear and continued to race and trying to and push each other off of the gurney. Zoe dismissed all of the nurses but kept Noel behind dragging him down to the other end so that Max and Cal could see her. She stood at the end with her hands on her hips and Noel at her side trying to signal for them to stop. Max was the first to look up and see Zoe.
"Oh shit!" He said loud enough for Cal to hear. This caused Cal to look up and see Max staring at Zoe and not thinking about what he was doing so he took this opportunity to use the broom and push him off of the bed which made Zoe gasp. As Max fell he cut his arm on a loose part of the gurney that was sticking out then crashed into Cal's forcing him against the wall grazing his face and arm.

Max held his arm and it was evident that the cut was pretty deep. Zoe rushed towards him and bent down taking off her jacket and holding it tight against his arm.
"That was your favourite jacket." Max whispered in pain.
"Well despite your stupidity, I guess you're kind of worth it." She said as she winked at him.
"Just kind of?"
"Hold that on your arm and apply pressure. You're still in trouble by the way." Zoe walked over to Cal as Max quietly giggled to himself.
"Let me look at that cut Cal." She said feeling around the cut to make sure no major damage was evident.
"Okay, both of you up to the ED now. Cal get your cuts cleaned up and Max come with me, I'll have to stitch and clean that cut. Noel you are not being let off lightly either. I want to see all three of you in my office at the end of your shift." She said whilst walking back over to Max and helping him up before following him back to the ED.

Hope you like this chapter; sorry for any mistakes I'm not the best with spelling and grammar. Basically if you didn't already know, a gurney is the bed with wheels that the ambulance crew use to transfer patients from the ambulance to the ED. I hope you are enjoying this story and please R&R it makes my day reading all of your comments.
