Is - there - somewhere- x: Thank you for the review. I've never written Lofty before and it was something I wanted to try. I felt sorry for Lofty during the episode as well, because, as you said, it wasn't his fault.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 131.

Zoe walked out of her apartment and got in to her car as she drove to work, she heard a sickening sound. She turned off the engine and hopped out as she headed to the back of the car.

Zoe clamped a hand over her mouth, it was Dervla; Dylan's dog.

"Dylan, I'm sorry" Zoe apologised, she knew what Dervla meant to the antisocial doctor; the dog was the closest thing he had to a friend.

The dog lay limp on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding her, painful cries coming from her.

"Shh, it's ok, girl " Dylan comforted her.

Zoe brought a blanket out to her and wrapped it around her, it was the least she could do.

And, then she gave a whimpering sound of pain and then she was gone. Dylan continued to stroke her fur, not caring that her blood was on his hands.


At the end of his shift, Dylan headed back to his boathouse which had been remodelled since Max and Zoe's wedding day fire and unlocked the door. He sat down in the armchair and stared at the TV.

Dylan picked up his phone and he was surprised to see 'Sam Kent; on - screen, they'd had no contact since Dylan had signed their divorce papers. A "ping, ping " alerted him to the fact he had a message. He unlocked his phone and stared at the words.

"I'm sorry to hear about Dervla"

Briefly, he wondered how his ex - wife knew about Dervla's passing, she told him, that Zoe had text her to tell him she had run her over.

Dylan simply texted back "Thanks Sam" And then he stood up and picked up the framed picture of his beloved dog.


I've never written Dylan before so I'm sorry if he was OCC. It was just an idea that I thought of and I don't think it had been attempted and I was looking for a chapter to update this with.
