APRIL: FOOLISH APRIL?

‘WHERE’S MARCUS?’ SHE asked.

He’s in the office, Mum,’ Kitty said.

‘Sulking,’ Dominic added. ‘’Cos he’s on call and can’t have a drink.’

April tapped and entered the office. She looked at Marcus and said ‘That was Jenny on the phone. Leyton wants you in as fast as possible. There’s a 4 year old with facial injuries – a dog got in their garden and bit her.’

Marcus stood up and said ‘I’ll just get my things.’

April put her hand on his arm. ‘Before you go, there’s something I think you should know – it’s Maud, Fiona’s little girl.’

‘Oh no!’ said Marcus, pushed her out of the way, and raced up the stairs.

April called after him. ‘I’ll take you. I’ll get the car out now. When we get there, I’ll find Fiona and stay with her. I’ll just tell the kids we’re going out.’ She went into the sitting room and said ‘There’s been an accident with Fiona’s daughter, Maud. We’re going to the hospital. Listen now you two, come straight home after the audition. Don’t get involved in any stupidity, please.’

‘No probs, Mum, hope she’ll be all right!’

April dropped Marcus off at the door and parked the car in the staff car park.
