It had been two hours since Ethan had sent his brother upstairs, luckily Connie had been in a meeting all morning and didn't notice his absence, Ethan saw this as a god send really as he knew he was such a terrible lire.
"Has Cal given up and went home to suffer alone?" Max laughed slightly as he and Lofty stood by the nurses station where Ethan was looking through some files.
"He's getting his head down in the on call room." Ethan said and looked up from the papers. "He didn't, you know, take anything last night did he?"
Lofty shook his head. "Woah no way. We just went for drinks, Cal wouldn't do that anyway."
"It wouldn't be the first time…" Ethan sighed a little realising what he had just said.
"What?" Max frowned in shock. "Cal did drugs? He was a scag head?"
"No…" Ethan shook his head. "No of course not. He wasn't that bad. Just a small issue when we were younger that's all."
"Well, full of surprises." Max spoke and Lofty nodded.
"He just looks out of it, I've seen him drink to the point he's collapsed before but not with these sort of side effects." Ethan spoke thoughtfully. "Could he have been spiked or something?"
"Couldn't you do a blood test?" Lofty suggested.
Ethan looked at him, why hadn't he thought of that? He nodded agreeing with the young nurse. "Cover for me." He said before grabbing some equipment and going to the on call room where Cal was sleeping.
Ethan knocked on the door gently before pushing it open as Cal hadn't even bothered locking it, he was sprawled out face first on the bed snoring lightly clearly completely out of it.
"Cal…" Ethan sighed and he went over and shook his brother lightly, when he continued to sleep Ethan spoke up. "Caleb!" He said and Cal woke up shocked.
"What? What is it?" He panicked slightly not quite remembering what was going on. Seeing Ethan he sighed with relief. "You gave me a shock."
"Sorry…" Ethan held up the needle. "Just came to take some bloods."
"Why?" Cal frowned. "You've already done a breathalyser? You know I'm not drunk."
"Yes but you're still not right, you've not reacted to alcohol like this before, your pupils are dilated and you've been sick. Just let me check there isn't anything else in your system." Ethan sighed.
"You think I've taken drugs don't you!?" Cal snapped angrily. "Seriously, I thought you knew me better than that! I wouldn't…"
Ethan shook his head. "No that's not what I think. I think you may have been spiked."
Cal thought for a second. When he thought about it, it did make sense. One minute he was aware of what was going on. He brought a girl back to the hospital trying to make her believe that he was really a doctor. Then what? He woke up on the floor half dressed. What actually happened? Did he sleep with her? On the floor of the showers, that really wasn't his style. She wouldn't have to drug him if she wanted to sleep with him. He would have gave her what she wanted. It just didn't make sense.
"Cal?" Ethan spoke bringing Cal back to reality.
Cal looked at him and nodded holding his arm out for Ethan to do the test. Once done Ethan looked at him, he didn't look himself at all. He looked ill and deep in thought and it was very rare Cal thought about something for more than two minutes.
"Ok?" Ethan asked and Cal nodded silently. "You should come back down, get some paper work done."
"Yeah, yeah I'll come down now." He said and stood up shakily. Getting his balance back he looked at Ethan. "Something isn't right…"
