#FLASHBACK# Continued from last post

"Stop it Janey it's not funny Harvey could catch us and boot us of the course!" Ruby was panicking checking the windows to see if anyone was watching them

Janey's thumb was about to hit the Answer button...

"Damn too late!" she muttered "See that's where hesitating gets you

"Look, I have worked so hard for this I'm not gonna interfere in someone's privacy just so I can fail" Ruby whinged trying her best to get her friends full attention

"Oh looks like Dr. Fiona's got herself a boyfriend, must be a internet dating no one else would want that desperate old..."

"Look just stop it Janey, lets go someone would of noticed we're missing by now!" Ruby said dragging her friend off

"Hanso, very exotic, he's probably from Italy or something, told you she must of picked him off the internet" Janey laughed

Ruby dragged her out the door only to be met with Dr. Harvey

"What's going on?" she bellowed

"Nothing Dr. Harvey honest" Ruby pleaded

"Your phone was ringing, you boyfriend!" Janey sighed handing her phone over

"Boyfriend?" laughed a bemused Dr. Harvey

"Hanso?" Rbuy questioned

Dr. Harvey laughed for a moment brush her hair back before she spoke again,

"Hanso...Is not a...Anyway Nurse Craven get out!" she screamed again

"What?"

"Look Dr. Harvey" It was both of us not just Janey Ruby tried to compramise but Janey had already stormed off, "What was that for?"

"Look Nurse Carling, I'm going to be honest with you, what you saw there must remain a secret" she said

"Why? Janey was here too" RUby was confused and didn't really trust a word of what Dr. Harvey was saying

"Janey Craven is a potty mouth little trollop she can go round saying anything, but no one believes a word she said because she is an idle gossip, You on the other hand, your a smart girl with a biright career ahead and heaps of potential, people think well of you. Now if you were to say anything people would believe you..."

"So your trying to buy my silence, I don't see why this call is important!" Ruby interrupted

"This call isn't important Ruby it's essential, it's whats needed and I'm not trying to buy your silence I'm telling you to keep your mouth shut otherwise, bad things will happen and they'd happen soon!"

A rush of cold blood ran down Ruby's neck, Dr. Harvey had just threatened her, and on top of that she couldn't tell anyone, but Dr. Harvey can't hear what's she saying everywhere she goes, can she?

#FLASHBACK# Continued, Late at night

Outside the Toucoon Nightclub, Ruby wanders out of an alleyway, alone, her clothes torn, bruised and bleeding, she shivered, she was afraid, no one was there for her, how could someone she trusted do something like this, she'd been raped.

EARLIER THAT NIGHT...

Ruby still a bit worried about Dr. Harvey's sinister words keeps her promise to go out with her best mate Janey Craven-also a trainee nurse. They are at the TOucan Lounge Night club. Music is blaring-Driveshaft, people are dancing, the lighting is dark with the occasional strode beam flashing to keep in time with the rhythm, Ruby is sat at the the bar with Janey. Janey looks annoyed at how miserable Ruby is.

"What is up with you?, Your never gonna get a date if you go round with that face on!"

Ruby just sat there with her glass of white wine in hand, she sighed heavily, took a swig from the glass and hammered it to the bar

"Nothing." Ruby mummered

Janey instantly remembered that it must of been the whole phone antic, RUby was worrying about, but as she was sent out of the room, Janey assumed she wasn't in trouble.

"If your worrying about the Doc, then don't Fiona Harvey is a bitter old cow anyway! Don't take it to heart, we've got off scott free, we should be celeberating"

Janey raised her glass to a toast and tried to drag Ruby off to the dance floor.

"Look if your just gonna sulk Rubes then I can't be bothered, It's a club not a funeral!"

Janey stormed off onto the dancefloor, Ruby was left at the bar

"Can I have another?" she asked the barman

Suddenly, out of the dark a stranger approached

"Let me get that for you!" he grinned

Ruby looked up at the handsome stranger, looking in her purse she could see she was short of change

"Yeah Ok then, Thanks!" she replied

"I saw your friend back there, she seemed pretty moody, I take it you two had a falling out!" he said

"You could call it that, it's nothing just a bad day at work, that's all"

"You know I never caught your name" the stranger asked

"I'm Ruby, Ruby Carling, and you?"

"I'm Dan" replied the stranger "But that's enough about me"

H edragged her to the dancefloor, Ruby smiled again, she had finally found someone that could cheer her up, the drinks continued through the night, mind you it didn't take much for Ruby to get drunk anyway, Ruby was ready to leave, Janey had already gone she phoned her up, wondering why her friend had left her

"Janey, where are you? We're suppose to be leaving together" Ruby asked

Slight mumbles of Janey were heard and the two soon devloped into argument, ressolving in Ruby hanging up on her friend

"I could get a taxi for the two of us" Dan offered

"Thanks but you've already cheered me up tonight, I can't accept you paying for a taxi" Ruby laughed

"Then maybe you could thank me in some other sort of way" Dan suggested reaching in to kiss her

Ruby happily kissed back, but Dan's caress soon became too much, she pushed him off and shouted 'No', Dan continued and Ruby tried to fight back still repeating No!

Dan dragged Ruby off into a back alleyway, her cries were blocked out as Dan covered her mouth, Ruby was scared, would he kill her after, she'd always been so careful with people, but it was her unusual drunken state that made her vunerable to people like Dan. Ruby panicked and tried to scream

"Speak and you'll die" Dan whispered "Now come here"

END TIME LAPSE...

Ruby wandered out of the alleyway into the streets, where the lamps dimmed slowly and flickered, losing power,she wiped her tears, and tried to pick up whatever dignity she had left and returned home

#FLASHBACK# Continued from last post, Next Morning

Ruby's desperate attempts to scream from the night before play out in her head, the threats that 'Dan' made echoed in her mind all of a sudden she pounces up out of bed. Screaming.

The time is 8:01 a.m., Ruby sits up panting for her life, the events of last night had haunted her and seemed so real, questions went through her head 'Why me?' being the recurring one.

She dragged herself out of bed in an attempt to get ready for work. She goes to brush her teet, but she feels weak. She looks up at herself in the mirror and frowns disgusted that she could let this happen to herself, she breaks down and smashes the mirror cutting her arm.

Feeling as if she's hit rock bottom Ruby is brought down to her knees sobbing, her blood drips from her arm spready onto the floor like ink leaking onto paper. Until she cradles herself and insecurely falls back to sleep

There's a knock at the door...

Ruby wakes up, she jumps and covers her ears, blocking out the slamming of the hollow door

Meanwhile, Janey stands outside, koncking repeatedly.

'I'm sorry Ruby don't be like this we'll be late for work."

But Janey's please fall on deaf ears about ten minutes later Janey leaves and Ruby unblocks her ears. She manages to calm herself for a few seconds and see's she's behaving irrationally, she showers to calm herself down aand to wash off 'Dan' who had made her skin crawl the night before.

Half an hour after Janey knicked and Ruby is now ready she wears cardigan to cover up her cut and the bruises she substained the night before, she also put on darker tights to disguise the scars, cuts and bruises on her legs.

9: 10 pm

Ruby pulls up at the Hospital, she steps out the car and locks it checking to see it was secure about three or four times after having done so.

She enters and it all comes back, she all of a sudden remembers Dr. Harvey's warning after her and Janey had gone to answer a call from someone by the name of 'Hanso'.

"This call isn't important Ruby it's essential, it's whats needed and I'm not trying to buy your silence I'm telling you to keep your mouth shut otherwise, bad things will happen and they'd happen soon!"

Ruby feels a rush of cold blood go to her head, and shivers run down her spine she rushes off to confront Dr. Harvye about this.

~FLASHBACK-Still 3 years ago from Crash-Continuing from last script~

Ruby enters the doors of the hospital she is still shakey, but determined to confront her mentor Doctor Fioan Harvey, still thinking she might have something to do with what happened to her with the mysterious Dan.

Ruby stumbles and trips , she bends down to grab her things, looking up she see's a figure stood before her. It's Dr. Browning

"Well, Well, Well. Look who decided to turn up, Nurse Cravens been going spare all morning about you Ruby" he said

"Yeah, sorry Dr. Browning, I guess I lost track of time" she replied, making excuses

"Your a bright girl Nurse Carling, you've worked so hard to become a nurse, just don't let bad time keeping get in the way of that" he smiled and walked off

Ruby smiled back, and walked off herself. Sudenly, she thought and called abck to him

"Sir is Dr. Harvey in today, I guess I better make an appearance, no doubt she's going spare as well"

Dr. Browning stumbled and turned round

"She should be in her office, she usually is, very busy she's been lately, I think she may be applying for a job elsewhere, well thats the rumour anyway" he chuckled tom himself and walked off to tend to a young woman in 20's, she was heavily pregnant, she was bleeding and panting. All Ruby could hear were the deep breathes of her shouting

"Please save my baby!"

Ruby walked up to Dr. Harvey office but just before she had a chance to knock. Janey appraoched her.

"Didn't you hear me knocking this morning" she said in a serious tone "I was there for ages, nearly late myself!"

"Look Janey I'm sorry, and about last night, I'm so sorry about...." Ruby couldn't end her sentence she burst into tears and hugged her friend

"Shh..Shh Ruby your OK it was just a squablle wasn't it? No need to get upset!" Janey cradled Ruby, rocking her like a child

Ruby lifted her head from her friends shoulder

"Thanks" she said putting on a brave face.

Ruby looked round the room and spotted Dr. Harvey coming down the stairs she was laughing and talking to someone, as she peered closer she saw a male, she stepped forwards again. This man, if Ruby wasn't mistakened, seemed to appear a lot like Dan from the night before...

~FLASHBACK-Still 3 years ago from Crash-Continuing from last script~

Ruby felt a sense of rage she had never felt before, she just wanted to go over and launch herself on 'Dan' and Dr. Harvey, the only problem she had was deciding on wihich one give a good slap to first. Just seeing the two fothem together laughiong and plotting it wasn't good for the state Ruby was in, she didn't even know if it was him for sure. None the less she sprinted over pushing the operting trolleys and wheelchairs that threatened to get in her way. She screamed so loudly the words she said didn't make sense and started hitting the man who she believed to of raped her.

"I HATE YOU!!! YOU PIG!!" she continued to thump the man until he was on the floor

Dr. Harvey looked on in shock, but a slight grin at Ruby's behaviour shone on her face like a dark angel,she snapped out of her trance and came back down to earth.

"Nurse Carling!!!...Nurse Carling!!!...RUBY...RUby stop it Ruby!!" she had to use all her physical strength to unattach Ruby from the man.

"What the hell do you think your doing Nurse Carling?" she shouted furiously

"It was you...You did it to me!!!..You tow planned it together!" Ruby cried

The man who had just been beaten to the floor got up, in agonising pain. She watched him get up off the floor, how could sh eof been so wrong. It wasn't Dan , she had just attacked an innocent man. All this lead Ruby question to believe if she had gone crazy. The victim as you might of guessed wasn't best pleased.

"For god sake Fiona!? You can harldy tell me this is one of the bloody staff? She's a flaming nutjob she needs locing up her. Your just lucky I don't press charges"

Dr. Harvey dusted the man off, turning her back to Ruby so she was out of earshot.

"Listen here Martin I am so sorry, I don't know what's gotten in to here, but don'tworry here actions will be dealt with. It's a shame because I believe she had a bright future in nursing ahead of here' she said showing him out to the door.

"Yeah well I just hope she get's what's coming to here. And maybe a few psychiatric meetings wouldn't go a miss eh?" the man said walking out the door

Dr. Harvey continued the false smile until the man had completely left the building.

"What the hell do you think you were doing Ruby? That was a very important client!"

Ruby could hardly string a sentence together and remembere the phone call she was promised not to tel lanyone about.

"Who was it Hanso?" Ruby said agressively

Just that word angered Dr. Harvey further.

"You weren't suppose to tell anyone about that! You need to learn to shut your mouth Nurse Carling. We could of got sued for what you just did!"

Dr. Harvey's rage along with Ruby's teards atttracted the attention of their collegue Dr. Browining, who wlaked up to find out what exactly was happening.

"What's going on here? What are al lthe tears about Dr. Harvey?"

Fiona put on another fake smile and turned to her collegue

"Oh James it's nothing to worry about, well actually it is you see Nurse Carling here just attacked a client."

"WHAT!? WHY?" Browning was astonished, he had always seen RUny as a nice girl, harmless and willing to help anyone.

Ruby just blubbered further, trying to apologise but still her words made no sense.

"How could you Ruby, you have just jeopradised your career, ended in in fact!" he said

"Listen Dr. Browning I am so sorry! I thought it was someone else! Please please I'm a good nurse, I am please I love my job" she begged in desperation RUby had given everything to her job, it was her last request to her parents before they had moved to LA, without her job, she'd be alone.

"Yeah, well I wrongly thought that you were a nice girl. Obviously thought I was wrong. I'm sorry Ruby but I have no choice but to suspend you indefinately."

Ruby was lost for words, she felt so stupid for her actions why couldn't she just calm down, why didn't she say something. But the truth wa if she had told them about the rape now, they'd only see it as an excuse. She turned her back and walked slowly out of the doors trying to calm herself down. Little did she know the grin on Dr. Harvey's face was ever wider.

"Ruby, Ruby what's ahppened?" asked her concerned friend Janney

But there was nothing to say, Ruby was so ashamed she turned her back on her friend and walked out the hospital. She thought to herself...

What have I turned into?...

She walked to the car park and hopped into her car,, and took a fe wmoments to think before smacking her head in shame onto the dashboard and sobbing quietly. She looked up at the clock

1:08 pm

And started the car. Ready to return home from work for the last time.

The career she had longed for and loved so much
Gone. In a instance, thanks to her actions.

But no matter how much Ruby knew it was her fault, she was stubborn enough to pin it on this 'Dan' and swore revenge.
