Robin watched in horror as the ambulance carried this poor woman off into the van and drove away, he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and his stomach felt sick to its capacity.

"Would you like to come and get you and your son checked out?" A friendly female paramedic asked. Robin continued to stare at the ambulance and she continued, "She'll be fine you know! She was breathing when we arrived and they will take great care of her at the hospital! Try not to worry... okay?" Robin nodded, took Roland's hand and jumped into the other ambulance.

When Robin awoke he was in a hospital suite with Roland and it was morning.

"Good morning daddy!" Roland said as he jumped out of bed with a huge leap, "Good morning Roland, my dear!" Robin replied as he picked Roland up and spun him round. His thought then turned to the woman he had hit yesterday. Was she alive and was she okay?

"Roland honey, daddy's going to have to go somewhere for a little bit... okay?" Robin asked Roland who looked sad at his words, "but the nurse will take great care of you whilst I'm gone! And if your lucky maybe she'll take you to get an ice cream?!" At this Roland's face lit up like a firework and he ran off into the other room where a nurse was waiting.

Robin then began his adventure to find the woman who he had hit. He didn't know what he would do if she was dead, how could he explain to Roland that he had killed someone? And how would he deal with the guilt? Robin looked up at the sign on one of the patients doors and it read;

REGINA MILLS.3BD.EMERGENCY CARE.
