Julius decided his best chance was back the way he came, hurdling sofas and running along cushions.
Hot chocolate splashed Alex’s jeans as she backed up to the wall. Julius’s head almost touched the ceiling as he vaulted between sofas, but Carlos had a plan. The burly nurse didn’t fancy tackling a giant, so he grabbed the base of a sofa, tilting it enough for Julius to lose balance.
The enormous teenager became a falling tree, and a coffee table splintered under his weight.
While the paramedics moved cautiously between the furniture, Carlos was fearless, straddling the toppled sofa, then sticking a needle through the arse of Julius’s PE shorts.
Julius still had some fight, despite the sedative in his blood and a gory spear of the coffee table pushed through his cheek.
‘Big ones can take another,’ the cockney paramedic suggested, as he threw Carlos another syringe.
Julius managed a rabbit kick, as Carlos pulled down his shorts, but the second needle sent him straight to fairyland.
‘I’m not paid enough for this …’ Carlos moaned, holding his back as he straightened up.
Now they felt safe, Alex and Georgia stepped around the sofas for a better look. Julius was a beached whale, splayed over the collapsed table, with the syringes in his arse still swaying from side to side
