First fic nerves! :(

This fic is set in a slight AU. Series two is exactly the same up to where Holly leaves. Mac and Caroline haven't quite got it together yet, but they won't be the focus in the story although they will be in it, but it's not a story about them. :D Sorry! Guy's here and he's starting to be nicer but he's not in love with Caroline, partly because I'm Carmac and partly because I can't remrember if he was in love with her at this point! If any other characters come into it I'll let you know where they are.

Anyway, on with the story....

************************************************************

Sue White was afraid of nothing. In fact she couldn’t remember a time in her life when she had been afraid of anything; even the childhood monsters under the bed had passed her by. The dark had never held any terror and spiders were much smaller than her, she reasoned, and so not worth being scared of.

All this came from a policy she had picked up from her Daddy and the words still echoed with her today – “go out of your way to be scarier than anything else”, he had told her. In a much deeper voice than the one in her imagination and, if she was honest with herself (another thing Daddy had told her she must always be) a little bit drunker.

As it was she therefore had no problem with being in a restricted section of the hospital at 2 o’clock in the morning in the pitch black completely on her own.

Sue, in full combat gear, just in case she ran into the Trodd, was sneaking into the patient records in the hope of finding a scan of Mac’s head she could put on her wall. It would take pride of place next to the lock of his hair and the underwear she had stolen some years ago from his locker.

She reached the door and swiped the Elf King’s pass card, looking round the corridor to make sure nobody was going to foil her. Again. There was no sound except a few monitors beeping corridors away. Smiling to herself she slipped inside and dug deep into her pocket for her lighter as she pulled the door shut.

No point turning on the lights – the dark is NOT frightening!

By the small glow Sue slowly crept further into the room, guessing whereabouts the M cabinet would be and reaching out for it. She pulled out the drawer without making a sound and lowered her light to read the names. Mabrick… Mayburn. Mc-

“Fack me! Where is he?”

A file landed at her feet, overcoming her confusion she realised that it had come from behind her.

“Looking for this.”

Before she could spin round fully something heavy collided with her head, her sunglasses flew from her face and she hit the floor. Sue heard the door open and close again and before she passed out she realised for the first and last time that when it came to the dark, her Daddy was talking out of his arse.

****************************************************

“Guy if you’re not down here in the next ten seconds you can walk to work!”

Caroline tapped her foot impatiently and leant against the banister whilst she was waiting for her lodger, who was making her late for the third time this week, and it was only Wednesday!

“I’m coming!”

“In what sense?”

He strolled down the stairs with his usual smirk in place.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.”

She pointedly ignored him and walked out the front door, resisting the urge to slam it in his face. Guy climbed into the car before she even reached the door and, not for the first time, she wondered where he got his morning energy. His enthusiasm never failed to make her smile. Then he started the Queen CD and she wished, not for the first time, that he was as grumpy in the morning as she was.

Ten minutes later they were pulling up to the hospital and walking through the doors. Together Guy and Caroline headed to the Doctor’s mess and Mac joined them outside the door.

“You two just come on shift?”

“Yeah, why? How long you been here?”

“Oh no reason, I just got here myself. It’s just… something just doesn’t feel right.”

“Jesus, his gingery-brain is finally malfunctioning. Can you remember how to do the surgery this morning or shall we go and ask Fartin?”

“Guy!”

“What?!”

“Shut up. And besides Martin’s been reprimanded as we speak because he lost his pass key.”

“Did he sell it for some magic beans?”

Mac and Caroline shared a glance, raised eyebrows and left Guy sitting alone, talking to himself.

“’Cus I bet he would you know…hey, where’ve you gone?!”

Guy sprung to his feet and ran out the door in search of his friends. He found them sharing a quiet conversation and decided to leave them to whatever soppy things they were saying.

I’m too much of a man for all that bollocks. Shit, Joanna’s coming. Fucking hide!

He ran into the middle of Mac and Caroline’s conversation and didn’t hear a bit of it, which he was quite grateful for, looking at their expressions it had been important.

“Hide me. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!”

“Dr Macartney. Dr Todd and Dr…don’t you all have somewhere to be?”

Joanna, for the first time in Mac’s memory looked vaguely concerned about something. Maybe she was pregnant.

“We’ve only been here fifteen…”

“Whatever. Look, we’ve got another member of staff been injured, I just thought you should know before the rumours start.”

“Has Dr. Statham tried to circumcise himself again?”

“No cretins. It’s Sue White. They found her in the patient records room this morning with a bloody huge gash across the back of her head and a fire extinguisher next to her.”

:jawdrop nooo joanna can't be preggers it may be guys and then it would be some scary ass baby!!

oh my gosh i love this fic it's great :)

oooh great fic :)
more more! :D

ohh im soo loving this!!

:roflmao

ohh there a mad person on the lose and if they have managed to hurt the craziest..im worried for guy!

Gawd I'm on a roll tonight!

*************************************************

After Joanna’s announcement she had strolled off leaving her three colleagues somewhat stunned. The first to recover was Guy, who muttered that he’d be back and zoomed off down the nearest corridor. Mac and Caroline shared a glance, trying to guess what the other was thinking about the news, neither of them was particularly fond of Sue but she was one of the team. Sort of.

“Maybe we should go see her, it’s awhile before we’re due in theatre.”

“Yeah, and it’s only fair, she visited you lots and LOTS of times.”

Smiling they set off to the ward Joanna had told them about. Along the way Mac worked out that it was the absence of Sue that had felt strange that morning, usually there was a fresh white rose in his locker and for the first time in years it had been missing. Weird that he should miss that.

As they rounded the corner to Sue’s bed they heard a commotion coming from behind them. Before they could look Guy came steamrollering to a stop in between them once more. They took one look at him and burst out laughing.

“f*ck off.”

He was carrying a bunch of pretty lilies and a balloon with the image of Simba was trailing behind him. Whilst Guy caught his breath and the other two stemmed their laughing they moved round the curtain at the end of the ward.

They weren’t expecting that.

All of them had, of course, seen very ill people before, and seen people with far more extensive injuries than Sue had, but she was just so small and quiet. She was dressed in one of the hospital gowns that they hadn’t realised till now were truly god-awful and her head was bandaged extensively. Her face was completely blank, her skin paler than any of them had ever seen it and her left eye had a cut beneath it.

Guy placed the flowers on her bedside table and tied the balloon to the post on the bed without speaking, without even looking at her, just calmly going about his tasks. It was Mac who finally said what nobody had thought to ask yet.

“Who did this? And why?”

aww guy is so sweet!!
~aww is sue awake im mean is she in a coma or just knocked out~

aww mac missed her rose! aha i knew he liked the attention!

Thank you all so much for reviewing! :P

*******************


“What am I, Miss Marple?” Caroline snapped back.

“I bet you’d look rather fetching in the knitwear.”

She playfully hit Mac on the arm, whilst trying not to laugh, the situation didn’t really call for it. There was a silence.

“Do you like jam and scones?”

“Do you?”

“I’ve been known to dabble.”

“In scones?”

“They can be trickier than they look.”

“You see, they don’t look particularly menacing.”

“You’d be surprised how scared you’d be, trapped in a room, on you own, with only a scone for company.”

“Would I, you see I don’t think…”

“Will you two shut the f*ck up and piss off!”

More silence. Mac and Caroline shared guilty glances; the silence was broken again, this time by all three of their pagers going off simultaneously.

“We’re needed.”

Without turning his head to the other two Guy unclipped his pager from his waistband and handed it to Mac, he sat down next to Sue’s bed and muttered “If they ask, I’ve been taken ill.”

Guy wasn’t aware that he was alone with Sue until much later, as he didn’t head them shuffle off. Granted he was somewhat distracted by the continuous beep of the machine she was wired up to; he got it to make a pattern in his head and it distracted him from looking at the pearly white bandage swamping her head. Without thinking he reached out and stroked the hair on the uninjured side and he wondered vaguely if she would prefer Mac to be sat here doing this. And that thought made him cry.

Boyce came upon the scene and, although he thought about how much piss-taking ammo this would give him with Guy, he hated himself a little bit for disturbing them.

“Guy…how’s she doing?” When Guy only turned his head slightly and Boyce could see slightly red eyes, that he didn’t comment on, he continued speaking.

“Look, I’m sorry, but I need to take her away. She’s due for a scan with Dr Statham…It’s all right! Just routine, you can come with her if you like.”

“Yeah, alright. Just to make sure the tosspots in Radiology don’t, y’know, do…anything to her. No offence.”

“None taken. Remember, I’m not yet an official tosspot.”

aww guy's soo sweet i like it more more more

and ths miss marple thing made me think of the scrotum in a hat scene :lol:

I want to know who killed her!"!!!!

Damn the suspense.

hey PR don't say that word she's not dead yet

and when you say that someone dies :unsure:

(sorry was watching the deleted scenes yesterday)

aww
haha

and btw i love the pic in your sig Sue's*Bitch :P

Another bit tonight and then I'm afraid I'll have to leave you in suspense!
I'm feeling evil :P

Sue will actually make a proper appearance soon, I promise, she's not dead (although I may have just changed my ending :rolleyes: ) And I apologise now for Alan, I really don't know what was wrong with me - I think I need to watch some more Green Wing.

****************************

Dr Statham actually looked rather sickened by the thought of the scan. Whether it was the injuries themselves or that he would have to touch Sue Guy didn’t want to ask.

“Right then…M-M-M-M-…”

“Spit if the f*ck out!”

“S-Should you really be here Dr Secretan? I really think that as the au-au-authoritative and senior member of staff I will have to ask you to leave.”

“To what?”

“To l-leave. Sue Whit is in my possession now and she will not leave till I say so. now go.”

“I don’t think I want this wanker going anywhere near her; Boyce, you do it.”

“Ok.”

“I beg you-YOUR pardon Mr Boyce?”

“Guy should stay. And I should do the scan”

“And pray tell me, why should YOU take over my domain? Hm. Hm”

Boyce put an arm around Dr Statham’s shoulder and moved him away from Sue and Guy.

“What if you have to examine…something other to her head? I think I heard her say she was pregnant the other day so…”

“Erm…what do, do you mean Mr Boyce? What body part?”

“Well there’s her cu– ”

“YES! Yes, thank you Mr Boyce! Dr Secretan you may stay and I shall leave!”

And with that he ran bodily from the room.

“Let’s get going then.”

Together Boyce and Guy placed Sue into the appropriate machinery and left her to go into the next room for the examination.

“Do they know who did it?” Boyce asked.

“I have no idea. If I ever find out I’ll tear him limb from limb and it’ll take more than Mac and Caroline to put him back together.”

“Why do you care so much? I thought you didn’t much like her.”

“I do. It’s complicated. She’s the one that got away…hang on, can you hear that?”

“Yeah actually. Kind of high-pitched, could be a scream.”

“Does the machine always make that noise?”

“It’s not the machine…Oh shit, she’s awake!”

The noise was a long and continuos scream that was coming from the scanner, in particular the now moving quite considerably Sue White.

ooooh!
this is really good :)
more! :D

she's alive she's alive yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

********************

In a flash Guy was through the door and grabbing maniacally for Sue’s hand. He suppressed the vaguely sick feeling he had when he felt how cold she was, and she was still pulling away, she must be terrified.

“Sue! Stop wriggling, it’s all right, I’ve got you. Boyce, for f*ck sake, bring her out! She’ll have a heart attack if we’re not careful.”

The machinery slowly brought a shivering and hyperventilating Sue into the harsh light of the Radiology room. She looked around frantically, like a cat listening to loud, continuous fireworks; eventually her eyes settled on Guy. Before she could open her mouth to ask the question she was dying to know he grabbed her in a great bear hug, paying no attention to the continuing terror that was in her eyes.

“You’re awake. I was really, really scared you bloody bitch – don’t do that again!”

Sue turned her head slightly and saw that they were alone. Whoever else had been here had gone to get a Doctor. Did he say Boyce? She tried to talk but was cut off once again.

“I know what you’re gonna say and you don’t need to. I know we’re not a couple and we never really have been but…. and I know that you hate me and would never sleep with me again…. Even though I was probably the best you ever had, no don’t deny it, we both know it’s true. You weren’t bad yourself.”

She smirked in a bemused way and tried to speak again, deciding she couldn’t let him go on like this for much longer, however it was very pleasant and reassuring. He cut her off again.

“I just thought that, y’know, maybe, when you’re better and all, we could go for a curry or a Chinese or whatever it is that your people eat…. or if you don’t want to I could take you right here and now. Even with that big bandage on your head you’re still my Sue and I know you’d be up for it.”

He leaned in to kiss her and it nearly broke his heart when she gently pushed him away. He went to speak but she placed a trembling finger across his lips.

“Sue. You called me Sue.”

awww!!! yay!!! i love it!!
a Pressie!! lol i guess we cant say name after name!! how many shots do we get!!

I'm gonna be mean and say you only get one guess. And you have to stick with it, 'cus I can't reveal who's right till the end as it would ruin the story.
Happy guessing!

:excited

Im gonna reach blindly out and say..............

I think it was Boyce/Martin/Statham/Mac/Joanna

:P

WHUH?

Does she not know her own name?

And I won't guess yet.
