This chapter is based around recent eps. It was prompted by Guest: Can I do one where Ethan finds out that Alicia is behind the blog? Will possibly include spoilers.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 330

Ethan carried his briefcase in to his office and placed it beside the chair and sat down when his phone vibrated. Assuming, it was a text, he took it out of his pocket, but he was a notification.

Great, it was Rage in RESUS. When was whoever was behind this blog going to give up? It was harassment. Not just towards the ED, an ED which had become his "safe house" since Cal's death. He pressed the button to activate the computer and waited for it to boot up. While it did, he took off his glasses and massaged his

"Doctor Hardy is ruining the ED"

"His brothers dead, now he's hanging on to the one thing he has left. "

The mention of Cal brought tears to his eyes. It had been a year since he'd passed, but to Ethan it felt like yesterday, he was still expecting Cal to walk through their flat door

Standing at the Nurses Station, Alicia, who had just writing something scathing on her blog, knew it was time to own up, she reckoned that Ethan had suffered enough, she knew Ethan would be angry at her, but she couldn't see innocent colleagues be blamed for it. If, she was responsible enough to put a deposit down on a house, she was responsible enough to admit the truth. The worst, that could happen was, Ethan could sack her. And she had to face that. Taking a deep breath, she walked to Ethan's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in" Ethan called.

The door opened.

"Alicia" Ethan sounded surprised to see her. "What can I do for you?"

"I need to tell you something" Alicia sounded uncharastically nervous.

"What?" Ethan asked. Alicia remained quiet. "Alicia what do you need to tell me?" He repeated.

"The blog, it was me"

Had Ethan heard her right?

"What?" He asked again.

"I'm behind the Rage In RESUS blog, Ethan" she said. "I'm sorry, I did it because I was ang-"

"Save it!" He cut across her savagely. "I could lose my job, Alicia"

Alicia nodded. "I was angry at missing my dads 60th"

"That's no excuse " Ethan picked up a copy of the blog that he'd printed out earlier and handed it to her. "You've attacked this ED, your colleagues, your friends, me"

"Well, maybe if you hadn't lengthened our hours!" She shouted back. "I had to do something"

"Just get out, Alicia" Ethan was suddenly tired of fighting. When she left, he rubbed his tired temples and slowly let tears fall down his face. Alicia was his best friend and she'd stabbed him in the back.
