Carlo had just finished seeing a patient when his mobile rang.

It was Matt.

Carlo listened in silence and then closed his eyes briefly, his broad shoulders suddenly tense. ‘She’s gone into the flat?’

He listened to Matt’s response and then let out a long breath. ‘Hang around outside. I’ll be there in ten minutes.’

He made two more phone calls and then snapped the phone shut and went to find Kim, who was placating a woman who’d been waiting for two hours.

‘We have a problem.’ He took her to one side and glanced around to check that no one was within earshot. ‘Zan’s with Kelly and I think she needs help.’

Kim’s eyes widened. ‘She’s called you?’

‘I…er…yes.’

No. His bodyguard had been following her. And he’d heard a woman screaming from inside the flat.

Had it been Kelly or Zan?

Sweat broke out on his brow.

The temptation to order Matt to break the door down had been overwhelming.

‘Oh, hell.’ Kim raked fingers through her blonde hair, visibly panicking. ‘I shouldn’t have let Zan go on her own, but the problem is that the husband won’t let anyone else near her.’

‘I’m going to see if I can help her.’

Kim shook her head. ‘They won’t let you in.’

‘They might.’ They’d let him in before. Just. ‘The registrar can cover the rest of the clinic. If he has a problem he can call me.’

Kim nodded and looked at him helplessly. ‘What can I do to help?’

‘Nothing for now.’ Carlo dragged on his coat and picked up his bag. Then he paused. ‘On second thoughts, maybe you can. Do you have a portable oxygen cylinder?’

‘I’ll fetch it.’ Obviously thinking along the same lines, they hurried to the equipment room.

Carlo stuffed a bag full of equipment while Kim helped.

‘I really, really hope you don’t need any of this,’ she said fervently, and he nodded agreement.

‘Let’s hope not. But if that baby is arriving six weeks prematurely, in a freezing flat, we could have a problem on our hands.’

It was an understatement, and they both knew it.

Kim walked with him to the door. ‘I’ll alert Social Services and the ambulance service. If necessary, we can put an incubator in the ambulance.’

‘Good. I’ll call you.’ Carlo strode out of the door and made for the car park.
