Another day began for Max and Zoe. They arrived at the hospital an ambulance was already outside and a patient was being unloaded. Max kissed Zoe goodbye and headed up to his 'office'. Zoe dropped her bags off and headed to resus to help with the new patient.
Dixie entered.
"This is Tim, he's 30 years old. He has breathing difficulties and tenderness to the left side of the abdomen. His BP is stable but his resps are low. He's had 5 mg of morphine and has been on oxygen."
"okay thanks Dixie, I'm Dr Hanna can you tell me where it hurts."
Zoe felt his abdomen, when she put pressure on the upper part of the left side of his abdomen, he took a sharp breath.
"okay, I'm going to need an abdominal CT, chest x-ray and can some do his bloods."
Zoe left the room and saw max over by the reception desk.
"glad to see your busy max, can I drag you away from your very important business. I need a patient in resus taking to CT,"
"I'm just like a bee me. Okay I'm on my way." Max stood up and walked over to Zoe.
"Can I at least get a kiss first?"
"Yeah" Zoe kissed max on the lips and he pushed the door open. He walked over to the bed took off the breaks and wheeled the patient up to CT. he glanced back at Zoe, he couldn't help but smile. He loved her so much.
Max waited for the patient, he hadn't really taken much notice of who it was, he was too interested in what he and Zoe were going to do tonight. He wanted it to be special it had been a year since their first kiss and he wanted to celebrate it in style.
Max was awakened from his day dream by the radiographer. He took the patient back to resus and went off to notify Zoe. She looked over the results and concluded it was just some minor internal bruising. His resps had stabilised and Zoe said that he could be moved to cubicles.
She paged max and he came to the room.
"Hey beautiful what can I do for you?"
"Can you take Tim to cubicles?" Max looked at Tim who was now sat up in bed. He gasped, no it couldn't be not after all this time. Zoe looked at Max she was so confused did max know Tim?
"Max. Are you okay."
"Yeah. Don't worry I'm fine." Zoe walked out giving max a soft kiss on the lips before she left.
"Max. Fancy seeing you here, Long-time no see mate."
"I'm not your mate, you made that pretty clear last time I saw you."
"But max that was 15 years ago, I've moved on since then. I've grown up. I've forgiven you and forgotten all about it. Haven't you?"
"Well you see the things you said you can't take back. I know I screwed up and you know I'm sorry for that but right now I need to get you moved."
"Fine but answer me one question. What's with you and that doctor? She's a bit out of your league mate."
"Let's leave Zoe out of this. She was nothing to do with what happened in the past. So if I can move on so can you."
Max left resus without Tim and ran into Zoe. She was so confused what had gotten into Max. He carried on walking to his 'office' he couldn't deal with this now and he knew full well that Tim was not on to forgive and forget. He just had to find out how he planned to seek his revenge.
