Cal hasn't been seen since his and Ethan's rough discussion in the staffroom around forty minutes ago. The thought of Cal hasn't entered Ethan's mind at all. He just wanted to forget about his brother and put himself first. He was done covering for Cal, lying to Mrs Beauchamp and Charlie.
Towards the two hours before the end of his and Cal's shift, he did eventually start to wonder: Did Cal really need Ethan's help? Ethan sighed in frustration then went to search the ED for Cal.
He looked everywhere, until finally he tried the staffroom, sort of hoping Cal was still there but he wasn't. Ethan was about to leave the room till he noticed a piece of paper sticking out of Cal's locker.
Ethan walked over to it and pulled it out where he started to read it. His facial expression going from normal to sheer worry. Charlie walked in a saw Ethan's pale face.
"Ethan? You okay?" Charlie asked. Ethan quickly looked at Charlie then the letter again.
"Yes. I'm fine." Ethan quickly spoke as he pulled out his phone and tried to call Cal but there was no answer.
"Damn it." Ethan muttered. Charlie watched him. Ethan eventually looked at Charlie properly.
"You haven't seen Cal, have you?" Ethan asked.
"No, I haven't. Why?" Charlie asked as David, the quiet nurse walked in.
"I have a feeling he's about to do something stupid, if he hasn't done it already." Ethan spoke as he gave Charlie the little letter. Charlie had no words, he just opened his mouth slightly in shock.
"Are you talking about Cal?" David asked.
"Yes." Ethan answered.
"He left the ED about twenty minutes ago. I assumed it was the end of his shift." David spoke.
"Thank you, David!" Ethan spoke then quickly left the room with Charlie following him.
"Ethan. Ethan!" Charlie called after the young doctor. Ethan kept walking towards the doors.
"Where are you going?" Charlie asked.
"I think I know where he's gone. Can you tell Mrs Beauchamp that he's gone missing?" Ethan asked as he walked out the ED.
"Don't worry about her. I'm coming with you." Charlie spoke.
"Charlie, I can't ask you to do that." Ethan spoke as they stood outside the ED.
"You both need the support." Charlie smiled a little as did Ethan. They both then noticed Jez and Iain standing by their ambulance near the entrance. Ethan quickly walked over to them with Charlie following.
"You alright, Ethan?" Iain asked as he noticed how panicked he looked.
"I need your help." Ethan spoke.
"What's up?" Iain asked. Ethan didn't want to say it but he had too.
"I think Cal's thinking about committing suicide so I need to get to him." Ethan spoke. Iain and Jez struggled to take it but snapped out of it.
"Get in the back." Iain spoke. Ethan and Charlie quickly ran into the back of the ambulance and jumped in where they sat and put on their seat belts.
"Where do you think he is, Ethan?" Iain raised his voice to the back of the ambulance.
"Colneith Bay." Ethan answered.
The blue lights and sirens were turned on as the ambulance quickly drove to the important location.
If you can remember, Colneith Bay was quite important to our boys. Hope you can remember how, if not, I'm not saying till the next chapter which will probably be released later tonight or tomorrow.
See you soon.
