Chapter based on tonight's crash, featuring both Cal and Ethan.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 384.

"Ethan, be careful" Cal said. When Ethan had heard that the ambulance carrying an severely injured Alicia had overturned. he had insisted on helping out.

Ethan rolled his eyes at Cal. "Cal, I'll be fine"

"Make sure you are."

Nodding, Ethan yelled he'd see his brother later and hurried out to meet the other ambulance crew that had been dispatched.

All the while that it took the ambulance to reach the destruction, Ethan prayed Alicia was OK.

But it was something that Ethan wasn't prepared for. Dead bodies lay in the road, and Sam was trying to wrench open the doors of the upturned ambulance. She was struggling, Ethan offered to help her and together they managed to wrench the doors open but a huge fireball come forward, engulfing Ethan while Sam watched in horror.

Iain tried to revive him, by doing CPR, but he was too badly burnt, his tongue and mouth were too shalloon to put a ventilator down .

He shook his head. "He's gone, Sam"

Sam nodded, pulling the sheet over Ethan's body.

Iain had radioed ahead to tell them it was Ethan. Connie and Charlie looked at each other.

"Ethan?"

"Yes, Connie"

Ethan cringed, Connie hated anyone calling her "Connie" in work hours. But she surprised Ethan by saying "It doesn't matter"

"The reason we called you in here, Cal"

"Uh, huh, this doesn't sound good. " Said Cal.

"Ethan was caught up in the explosion, " Said Charlie.

"But he's ok?" Said Cal, desperately.

"I'm afraid he was caught up in the explosion, "

"No, not my little nibbles" Cal thought to himself.

But it was. It was Ethan. Charlie took Cal to see his brother in the morgue. He had ash and dirt on his face and his body was badly burmt.

"What happened?" He asked.

"He was caught in an explosion, " Charlie told him. putting a hand on his shoulder.

Cal did the one thing he's never let his colleagues see him do, he cried.

"Cal, it's alright, Ethan's in a better place now"
