This is just another small chapter. This chapter was prompted by (Guest) Jenny with the prompt: "Alicia's, ex, who has murdered, appears on the scene, wanting money off his ex girlfriend, but when she refuses to give him any, he takes her hostage, can the boys save her?" Ethan doesn't have the gene.
The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 311.
Alicia walked in to the ED, on a night shift with Linda and Jessica. It wasn't Jessica's first night shift, but it was Linda's and Alicia's, but the doctor hoped it would be fun as well, she loved being in the dark. The three of them headed in to the staff room and got changed, Alicia told the girls she'd see them later and went to the nurses station. Whistling to herself, she grabbed a patient file and headed to cubicles, the file tucked under her arm as she drew back the curtain.
"Hi, I'm Doctor Monroe, but you can call me Alicia " She introduced herself to her patient.
Suddenly, the lights flickered above her, before going out completely, she wasn't scared, but when a voice spoke, it sent shivers down her spine.
"Hello, Alicia " The voice spoke roughly.
The file she was holding fell to the floor with a clatter and she bent down to pick it up. Lying on the bed, was her ex boyfriend, James, who she'd met in university while she was studying to become a doctor. But things had quickly gone sour between them, he'd gone out to the pub one night and senselessly beat a guy to his death, before being arrested for it, but it now seemed he had got out on whatever reason.
What do you want?" She asked.
"Money" James told her.
Alicia shook her head, she wasn't going to give him any of her money.
He then put a hand over her mouth and dragged her away, flinging her in the back of a car, as she struggled against him, trying to scream. He drove her away as she kicked the back of his seat.
That morning Connie walked in to her ED. Looking for one of her female doctors.
"Nurse Harrison?" Jessica looked up as she realised Connie was talking to her. "Where's Doctor Monroe?"
Jessica shrugged her shoulders "I don't know "
Ethan, who was on the morning shift with Cal, walked in, to find Connie on the phone, trying to track down her doctor.
James lifted Alicia from the seat.
"You won't get away with this, " she threatened.
"I think someone needs to be quiet" He said as he produced a clothe and put it in her mouth, tying it around her head. He then carried her up some steps, unlocked the door and walked in with her. He took her in to one of the bedrooms and tied her to the bed post.
"Smile. " James told her. He was going to send a picture of her to her friends.
Ethan was looking through his patient notes, when his phone vibrated, he looked at it, shocked to see an unknown number with a picture attached to it, he clicked on the link to the picture and was shocked to see it was of Alicia, with a gag in her mouth.
Ethan's hands shook, as his phone dropped on to the floor.
"Nibbles, what's the matter?"" Cal asked.
"it's A-Alicia" Ethan replied, pointing to the phone screen, which was lucky to have not been smashed. Cal looked at the picture. "What do we do, Cal? "Ethan asked.
Cal wasn't sure what to do. But he ran out of the ED, Ethan following, Cal got in his car, and drove like an idiot, in his haste to get to Alicia. The two come across an abandoned house and Ethan went inside. Cal went after him, not wanting his little brother to get hurt. Ethan ran up the stairs.
"Alicia!" Ethan spoke with urgency in his voice as he took in his ex's state: mascara ran down her cheeks, she was blindfolded and had a clothe in her mouth and her hair was sticking to her face. Ethan walked in to
Cal called to his brother "Ethan, don't touch anything, this is a crime scene "
"She's our friend, Cal" Ethan replies, trying to undo the binds that were holding Alicia's hands together, but they were too tight. "Cal, can you help"
But just as they thought they had got away with it, with Cal carrying Alicia in his arms, James returned. They needed to act fast, if they wanted to get out safely.
"Your not going anywhere with her"
Cal punched him while Ethan rang the police.
James had been arrested by police and was awaiting trial in which Alicia would have to give evidence, the brothers would be supporting her and with any luck, James would be put inside and Alicia wouldn't have to worry about him again, it had been a distressing ordeal though, it would take time for her to heal from the ordeal, but with Cal and Ethan's help, she would. Ethan offered her their spare room and she accepted, she didn't want to be alone, Iain and Jez had started a week worth of night shifts, Robyn and little Charlotte had moved in with Robyn's ex fiancée, Glenn, and so the share house was empty and she didn't fancy going back to an empty house.
A week later, it was James trial and Alicia, the brothers and Connie all attended court. Alicia sat in the middle of the brothers.
"I sentence you to five years for the murder of Billy Jones, and the abduction of Alicia Monroe" The judge spoke as Alicia, Cal and Ethan watched James being handcuffed and escorted him down some stairs and in to an awaiting van where he was driven away, much to the relief of Alicia.
Cal put his arm around her as he and Ethan both led her to the pub, where he brought the three of them a drink. Friends stuck together.
