Chapter 1: Start Spreading the News, I'm Leaving Today

A phone's ringing went throughout the apartment of Dr. Shepherd. The doctor rose quickly out of bed and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Emily, it's me, your mother."

"Hi Mom, what's up?"

"I want you to go check on Derek. I haven't been receiving calls from him in the past few weeks. Would you please do this for me?"

Emily cleared her throat, "Yeah sure, Mom. I'll do it today."

"Thanks honey. I'll be in touch."

Emily hung up the phone. Her mother was always worried and controlling over their lives. What her mother did not know, was that Derek had left New York and gone to Seattle, Washington. She, Derek's closest sister of four to him, was the only one he told where he was going. She remembered her thoughts that day, "What's in Seattle, Washington?" She remembered that he had received a letter from Richard Webber, the chief of surgery at the top hospital in Seattle, Seattle Grace. She knew what she had to do, if she didn't go, she would never hear the end of it with her mother.

So Emily quickly called up JFK Airport and arranged a flight to Seattle, Washington that day. She then quickly ran around her house and got all of her clothes together and packed them. She then realized, she couldn't just show up uninvited, so she researched Seattle Grace's reputation and called Richard Webber, chief of surgery there. He nicely agreed to accept her as an intern at the hospital, after she faxed him her test results for entry to the program. She was a Shepherd all right. In the early evening, a taxi picked her up from her nice apartment on Long Island and drove her to the airport. She was leaving today.
