LONDON CALLING

Jess looked at Brain " Im suprised , I just read the riot act on those two baffoons and dismised them home, we don't need any more incidents like this one" she told him as she rubbed her nose to calm herself. It ws now she heard Angus talk slow and exausted  and looked to Brian " we both did good work" she said softly to him.

Ruby found Robert and nodded " yeah hes got the virus" she listened to Robert and nodded " okay just like with Abby , insulated travel mugs, fill it with ice and put some lemonade init, enchanted pitcher with ice water in it and bedpillows from the closet resized, got it" she said and moved to fetch the pillow first since they were closest once she had several in her hand she resized them in Angus room placing them on the bed. Next she moved down to teh kitchen finding both the pitchers and travel mug she added ice to both and lemanade to the mug center so it would stay cold, then ice into the pitcher. carfully she moved back upstairs finding a small table she moved it to sit beside the bed where she palced both the pitcher and the travel mug.

"Thanks for being here," Brian told her. "Yeah, we did do good work. Robert will be pleased with us. Not so much with them, but that's up to him to deal with. Okay, do you know anything about an old woman that he brought in? A woman with a purple pointed hat? Can we find out?

"And let's see if we can find Kaden. I don't know that I expect much more improvement with Angus here, and I think it's going to take two of us to keep him upright to apparate him home. The sooner we get him to Robert, the better off he'll be. If you can't find him, I'll send for Jack or Edward to help me get him home. This might be as good as it gets for awhile. You know as well as I do that these things take time. Not to mention that on top of being given the wrong medication and a fatal dose of it, he's also got that stupid virus. His system is being hammered with issues."

The truth was that Angus was not strong enough to be on his feet at all now. That would come back, certainly, but not in the next few minutes. Brian was figuring that he and Kaden would be holding Angus upright just long enough to apparate him home. He also figured that Robert would be livid that they had brought him home--until he knew the facts. And then he was going to be angrier yet--but hopefully not at Brian for bringing Angus home.

Jess nodded and looked around the A and E "I'll find out" She said and moved to teh nurses staion and who should she find filling out reports but eh very man she was looking for " what the hell have they got you doing your a nurse not a secetery" she said " find the notes for a woman with a purple pointed hat and let be read it. 

Kaden had been frustrated with being told he ws nothing and to sit at the desk and put in the reports. He had glanced up and seen Jess walking over to him. Listening he nodded and pulled the report " her name is Hanna bishop shes in bay 5 , has scrapes to her knees and has the virus" he handed her the report and stood up.

"come with me " she said walking to bay 5 pulling abck the curtain the first thing she saw was the large pointed had and it was indeed purple. " hello , my name is Jess I see by your notes you have teh virus has any one given you anything for it?" she asked and saw her shake her head.  kaden immidiatly placed five drops in a glass of water and handed it to the woman " that should make you feel better and Kaden could you look after those knees, oh did you happen to meet a nice man who brought you here?" she asked and again the woman nodded.

"oh yes he was kind enough to bring me when I couldn't make it, hes so nice, please tell him thank you from me." she said and Jess smiled warmly to her.

"we will" she said as Kaden finished healing her knees and cleaning them free of dirt and small stones. " thak you that feels so much better, and thank you doctor." Jess just smiled to her.

"Kaden could you come with me" she said and moved to the bay with Angus and Brian in " I need you to help get a patiant home" she said and pulled back the curtain . Kaden gasped and moved to Angus but then put on a straigh face knowing Brian had Angus. " He's stable but need to be returne home immidiatly, also your duty is to follow Roberts orders and stay with this patiant, any change and I mean any change let me know and I will send the right treatment per Roberts request." she told him " and nobody but Robert can counter this, got that?" she saw him nod his head and looked at Brian " okay hes all yours for as long as you need him."

"Thanks, Jess," Brian said. He didnt want to say anything too frightening in front of Angus, so instead, he handed Kaden the chart to read. Kaden would understand why Brian wasn't relaying it verbally to Kaden about what had happened or how serious Angus's condition was. He realized Kaden wasn't going to probably understand why they were even attempting to take Angus home. He was just relying on Kaden to trust him. While he read, Brian went over to Angus.

"Hey," Brian called to Angus gently, brushing Angus's hair back off his face, "I bet you'd rather be in your own bed, wouldn't you? These beds are miserable, I know." Angus woke and nodded tiredly. "Kaden's here, and he's going to lend a hand. Now, listen. You aren't going to be able to one stinking thing. You're going to have to let us do it all--100% of it."

"Don't tell Ru. I don't want to panic her," Angus managed.

"Too late. She already knows," Brian said, knowing that wasn't the entire truth. He just didn't want Angus trying to make it look better than it was. Brian carefully sat Angus up and then helped him swing his legs over so Angus was sitting on the edge of the bed. "That's enough," Brian said. "Kaden and I will do the rest. Is that bag yours?" he looked at the canvas bag. Angus nodded. "Kaden, can you get that bag? I'll get under his bad shoulder if you get under the good one. Then, we'll stand him up and apparate home. It will get us to the kitchen. Once we get there, we'll immediately apparate again to get him upstairs to his room."

"Not my house?" Angus asked.

"Not a chance," Brian said. "Robert's going to want you in the main house. That's as home as you get for now." Angus didn't say anything. The fact that Angus didn't protest told Brian all he needed to know. "Okay, Kaden, ready? Lift." When they got Angus to his feet, Angus's head spun and his legs wouldn't begin to hold him. He was limp, and the only thing holding him up was the combined effort of Kaden and Brian. Brian had expected Angus to pass out all together, but he hadn't. Not yet anyway.

Brian apparated them home to the kitchen and then immediately apparated them again straight into Angus's room. Robert was waiting. He only needed to see Angus to see something was critically wrong. He stepped in at once to help them get him into the open bed, and the moment they had him horizontal, Angus collapsed into a deep sleep. They quickly and quietly worked to get his clothes and to help him into a pair of pajama trousers and to pull the blankets over him. Brian checked Angus's vital signs and found he wasn't much worse for wear.

"Give me two minutes to catch you up," Brian said. "Kaden, keep a tight watch on his vitals. We're going to step out of this room for just a moment."

Jess nodded and watched as Kaden read seing little on his face she could tell he was seething inside. She tok the clipboard from Kaden who looekd to Brian and nodded at his words " I understand " he said and moved picking up the canvas bag he slipped it over his shoulder then moved to Angus. placing one arm around his shouldes he slipped his own around Angus waist so as he stood he took all of his weight noting just how weak Angus was. Aperating to the ktichen he dropped off the canvas bag then they were moved to the bedroom where he helped lay Angus on the bed as he then began stripping him down as if he was a patiant in a hospitan and changing him into his Pajamas.

Jess watched them leave and breathed out then turned around each nurse was busy she watched for amoment then called them all to the center giving out orders and reasigning others more copitent who had been sitting doing jobs they shouldn't have " now those who are looking after paetiants recheck there records, those incompetent foold stay at the desks and type, thats all you have to do type, now get to work, potions rule one check they have not already had a dose, rule two double check then triple check before administring any thing, third if your unsure ask a sinior or me." she told them " now run this palce like every one of these people was your moth, brother or sister if you can't heres the door, this is not a charity we save lives here, proove you can work as a team." she siad and sat down " I hope you all can." she was handed a cup of tea by Tom the security guard who smiled at her.

"bout time sumit was done." he said and she chuckled " well done hows the guy who brought my nan in?"Jess looked at him stunned.

"he'll live, but if Brian Quinn and myself had not been here he would not have" she told him " and Hanna's you nan?"

Tom chukled and nodded " yep, stoborn old witch she is, I told her to stay home but nope just had to get her fresh veg, let him know I owe him one and if I see him I'll shake his hand." Jess chuckled and nodded her head. Ruby had heard them aperate in and stood back letting them lay Angus on the bed she saw just how wekhe was and just stood for a second before taking a cool towel and placing it on his head just as she had done to Abby felling it might help reduce the fever slightly.

"will he be okay?" she asked not knowing the full story " I can look after him for a while."

"Come with me while I fill Robert in," Brian said. "You might as well know all of it. Is Edward around?"

"I'm sure he's on his way up," Robert said. "I told him you were bringing Angus home from St. Mungos and was going to need more care. So, he's going to want to know what happened."

"Let's not talk in here," Brian said. He found Edward coming down the hallway, and Brian took them all next door, to the master bedroom that he and Khaat shared, and motioned to them to sit down. "Here's what I know, from putting things together. He evidently went to Sparks and the tobacconist like he said he would. He told me he was leaving the tobacconist and saw an old woman collapse in the street from the virus. He did what any decent fellow would do and took her to St. Mungo's.

"Things seem to have gone off the rails when he got there. Near as Jess and I can put it together, the nursing staff saw the rash on his neck and more or less forced him into a treatment room. It also sounds like nobody was listening to him, somehow, but I have more facts to gather. There's something I'm missing yet, but by the time I got to him, he was unconscious on the floor in the treatment room. The healer that had treated him for the virus didn't give him any sort of symptomatic treatment for the virus. What they gave him, by mistake was a full one potions cup dose of Supershock potion...."

"What!" Robert exploded.

"Oh, dear god," Edward paled. "Robert..."

"I'll take good care of him, I give you my word, Edward."

"How is he even alive, much less home...?" Edward was infuriated.

"Because Jess and I were there," Brian said. "She helped me stabilize him, and I cast as much of an antidote spell as I could. There is no antidote in stock at St Mungo for Supershock..."

"Well, I sure as hell can make some," Robert said.

"I'll make it. You just let me into your workroom and then take good care of my grandson," Edward said. "How is he now, Brian?"

"Very weak. He has some sense, I think, of how close this was. I don't have all the facts, but he really was terrified I would leave him there. I needed to get him home, and i needed to get him to you, Robert. On that, he and I completely agreed."

"Ruby," Robert said. "Supershock potion is geared to reduce a surge in magical energy that a wizard might suffer because of some sort of spell gone wrong. It is designed to reduce the magical energy in the body. A single dose of Supershock is 1-5 drops in a potion dose cup and then diluted with water. Never any more than 5 drops max because more than that is lethal. This healer gave Angus a full one dose cup. It absolutely would have killed him if Brian and Jess wouldn't have been there. And, he also has the stupid virus, and that also weakens his body. This is exceptionally serious. By rights, he should be in ICU right now. So, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to stay with him until I tell you all otherwise. We're going to temporarily provide him some very intense care right here at home. If things go well, he could well be out of danger by morning, but I will not be leaving him until I know for certain that the crisis is completely past him.

"Brian, I want the name of that asshat that treated him. You get back there and find out what the hell happened that they treated him at all. He would have come home for treatment even if he had known he had the virus. He wouldn't have let some stranger take care of him. I want the full facts, and I want them now."

Ruby sat and listened to Brian but it didn't hit until Robert explained it more just how bad it was. at first she was in shock then she went to anger " I want his name too, I want him to feel what its like to have that happen." she said at first then she just shook her head " no I want to puntch the living daylights out of his face for putting my Angus in that situation." she said now pacing in her anger.

Jess made sure everything was running like clockwork and grabbed her report for the incident filling it out she aperated back to teh house she heard talking and walked up the stairs to the room, knocking she walked in " allright , I guessed you'd want to know what happened , interns name was Kile Redfurn, nurse susan finch both allready on a warning for incompidance and malpractice , I sent them home, heres the report , I also sorted out the emergancy section it will not happen again, seems she was on a power trip and gave her mates the best jobs even if they wern't qualied." she looekd at Robert and raised her hand " don't worry qualified staff and competent ones are running it now and its flowing properly." she handed him the report " need you to check and sign this incident report for what happened to Angus , the old lady is fully coperative and so is her grand son whose the security man at the hospital." she said

"Thank you," Robert said. "It seems that we need good management there, and I really shouldn't have to be trying to manage all three shifts. I need to hire shift managers to get on top of what's going on there and keep this sort of horsecrap from happening. Jess, if you want the job of Shift Manager for first shift, it's yours. You've more than earned it. The post will come, of course, with a significant pay raise, increased holiday time, etc. And I'll be hiring additional shift managers for second and third shift. The three of you will report to me, and you'll be in charge of staff, scheduling, etc. on your shifts.

"As for Kyle Redfern, I'll handle further action on that and for Susan Finch is already on thin ice with me. Found her in a compromising position in the supply room with an orderly two weeks ago. I put her back on probationary status. Well, it seems I need to have a discussion with both of them." He read the incident report and signed it. "I'll take care of them. Thank you, Jess."

"That might take care of Redfern's employment, but I might take up legal action against him on Angus's behalf," Edward said.

"That is your right to do that, of course," Robert said. "In the meantime, I'll open the workroom for you. If you can make the antidote, I'll get on with seeing to Angus. Maybe he can fill in the rest of the story for me." He got up and went back to Angus's room, and he set about checking Angus for himself.

Ruby heard Edward and nodded her hed " that goes double for me" she told Jess who smiled and nodded to her.

" I'll add it to the report that his imidiatle family are not holding the hospital liable but the people involved." she said then looked to Robert as he spoke " well I will certaily take that offer as its needed." she said smiling " I have the accident and emergany section running smoothly now but I will have to review a few peoples records." she took the report and nodded to Robert " I should get back and file this , can't leave them alone for too long, Im no slave driver but when the cats away and all" she said then ported back to St Mungos.

Ruby on the other hand wanted to find this man and wring his neck but she ahd other important things she wanted to do. which was look after Angus while he recovered. " how long till he gets some strength back?" she asked a slight worry not in her voice.

"I'll know more after I get a good look at him," Robert said. "It looks very much like they got to him in time. A dose like that of Supershock should have destroyed his entire magical system, and that would have been absolutely fatal. However, it looks like Brian and Jess did some fine work. His vital signs are actually better than I would have anticipated them to be, given what his body has been through." Angus started to stir as Robert checked him, and he woke.

"Robert, I have to go...have to go home..." Angus was still highly upset, and Robert didn't blame him one little bit.

"Calm. Calm yourself," Robert said, soothing him. "I'm right here. You're home. You're home in your own room, in your own bed. I know it doesn't make sense yet, but it will. Angus, how did you end up getting treatment at St. Mungo's?"

"They didn't listen...I tried to tell them. He threatened me. Told me he was admitting me against my will unless I drank his stupid potion...They didn't listen..." Angus was trying to explain. It was choppy, but Robert understood it.

"That isn't going to happen," Robert said. "Nobody is taking you back there...." As he was speaking, Edward walked over to Angus and stroked his cheek.

"I'm right here, Boy. Nobody's going to lay their hands on you..." Edward said. "I'm here, and you're safe. Close your eyes. You don't need to fight this battle. I'll do the fighting for you for awhile, alright?" He nodded. "Good lad. Close your eyes. I'll be right here." He managed to get Angus to go back to sleep.

"He'll settle when he actually realizes where he's at," Robert said. "Right now he's just too sick to know, and this scared him. I hope the worst will be over maybe by late tonight or by morning. I'll keep you both posted."

"I'll get back to work on the antidote," Edward said.
