Caught

It was a steamy August day in Seattle. The extra heat was evident in the patients and the doctors. The ER was in over flow mode with cases of heat exhaustion and other heat related illnesses. The doctors were on there last nerve, from the complaining of the patients and the nonexistent air conditioning. The surgical nurses had been keeping track of how long the air was down and were up to five hours and ten minutes. The chief currently had people looking at the air conditioning unit.

One such irritated doctor was Seattle Grace's Chief of Surgery, Dr. Richard Webber. That day nothing had gone right the interns were complaining to the residents, who were complaining to the attendings, and they were being extra whiny to him about hair problems and crabby patients. Richard also got an earful from his wife on the phone and from the air conditioning repairmen. Not to mention the patients' families that kept getting deferred to him.

In the hospital only two people were enjoying or not noticing the extra heat.

Meredith was sitting in the surgical gallery, looking down on an emergency craniotomy that Derek was performing. Sweat dripped down Derek's face as he worked. His brows would occasionally knit together in frustration. The scrub shirt stuck to his body underneath his surgical gown. A smile remained on his face even as everyone in the room was extra grumpy. Interns frowned upon their residents when they said they would be in the OR. With the air conditioning down the OR's were like saunas and you couldn't open the windows because it was a sterile environment.

Not so innocent glances were spread between Meredith and Derek. If it was even possible he felt his body temperature raise when Meredith would give him their look signally he was going to get laid after the surgery.

The surgery was to long for all of its occupants, even for the patient who coded three times. Even Derek was itching to get out of the OR after the surgery, and the operating room was usually his solace.

Meredith waited in the scrub room for Derek after the surgery. He showed the signs of a long, hot surgery, but it was masked by the desire for Meredith in his eyes. The pupils had dilated and Meredith knew they would be disappearing for a while.

No words were exchanged between the two as Meredith's back hit the scrub room wall. They both were very much aware of what the other wanted in that exact moment.

They kissed with such passion, it would have been rated R in a movie. Derek whispered in Meredith's ear that they should go somewhere more private.

Derek grinned like a fool as he pulled Meredith down the hallway. People jumped out of the way as he came. After trying to open the first on call room on the floor, and were unsuccessful, Derek decided to head to his office with Meredith. People stared at them in envy for finding a way to get rid of the frustration and use the heat to an advantage.

Unknown to Meredith or Derek, the chief had recently made improvements to the elevators. They rushed onto the elevator just as nurse "Rose the Nose," who at one point had a date with Derek, walked off. She had gotten her nickname for knowing every detail of Meredith and Derek's relationship since that point. For some reason she was still waiting on the sideline to swoop Derek up, if things ever went sour.

Between two floors Meredith pushed the emergency stop button.

"I want you now." She shoved Derek against the cold steel of the elevator door. It felt like a relief to Derek's hot body. Before he could object or say anything Meredith's mouth was on his and her body pressed inch for inch against his.

In the hospital security room, two security guards were alerted of the stopping of elevator 3 and turned all their attention to the new security camera film.

"Chief we have an um…situation. Can you please get down here, right away?" The security guards continued to watch the live footage of Meredith and Derek getting it on in the elevator.

Five minutes later the Richard comes into the room sweaty from running down three flights of stairs. Before even getting into the room he heard the chatter of the security guards. "He is one lucky man." "My God she is flexible."

Richard rushed through the room wondering what was happening. "Where is the situation?" He asked between heavy breathes.

"Take a look on camera three, it is one of the new ones you just had installed. It captures great quality film." The security guard smirked at Richard. His face went from one of panic to one of disgust.

"Get me that footage sent on tape to my office now, and don't share it with anyone else. I will deal with them myself." Richard exited the room and headed to his office to think of the perfect punishment.

The mail was placed in Richard's desk in a neat little pile by his secretary. He had finally got some time away from dealing with everything else and was going to look through it. On top was a letter from a local high school. He thought it was probably going to be a tour for a biology class or a request for the hospital to sponsor some event, but he was more than shocked when he read the letter. The note was placed aside on the desk as Richard went through the rest of the mail with a plan formulating in his head.

"Can you page Dr. Grey and Dr. Shepherd to my office immediately?" His voice was at ease, he knew after this punishment Meredith and Derek would not be fooling around in his elevators again.

"At the same time, sir?" The chief clarified that that was indeed what he wanted.

Now all he had to do was wait for them to show up. They were going to be so unsuspecting.

Meredith and Derek were not aware that the other was also being paged to the chief's office. They both had never guessed the reason they were headed there.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Meredith asked Derek as she saw him waiting in one of the cloth chairs outside the chief's office.

"I was just going to ask you the same thing." They shared a secret smile and were then immediately escorted inside.

Derek nodded his head to acknowledge the chief and Meredith smiled at him.

"You wanted to see us." The chief told them to take a seat. He stared at them for several minutes, making sure they had no clue why they were there. For once the hospital gossip wagon had not got this piece of information.

"I guess you want to know why you are here." They nodded their heads and just stared at him confused. "Maybe you would like to watch this video first." The chief slipped the video into the player that had been given to him from the security guard. It started off showing Rose getting off the elevator and Meredith and Derek entering very rushed. Meredith blushed immediately and knew they had been caught.

"Okay, I think we have seen enough." The chief stopped the video quickly.

"Now is that what you believe an elevators sole purpose is. To provide you a secret sex room." Meredith and Derek both looked down ashamed and embarrassed. "Now that is what I thought. This is not acceptable in this hospital. You are both luck I am not suspending you, instead I have found a much worse punishment." The chief flashed them a mischievous smile. "Don't you want to know what it is?"

"Yes," Meredith squeaked out without looking up from her feet.

"I got a letter in the mail today. Perfect timing actually. One of the local high schools Seattle Prep is looking for two health teachers, one male and one female. It seems that there other teachers quit without giving any notice and with the school year starting on Monday they don't have teachers and cannot find them. So they are looking for the next best thing two doctors to teach the class. I signed you to up, since you seem to know a lot about sex already. You start Monday." Meredith and Derek looked shocked and angered at their punishment.

"You cannot do that to me sir, I am the head of the Neurological Department."

"I have interns to keep track of."

"As the chief, I can and I will. Now Derek when you are off the department runs, and Meredith your interns will have a substitute resident when you are in high school. You will come in a couple days after school and on the weekends. You may also have to pull a couple over night shifts. This is not optional, it is mandatory unless you want to have a permanent mark on your file and a three month suspension." The chief was satisfied that he was able to take out his frustration out on someone. If it hadn't been so hot, or he hadn't had such a day of complaints from everyone they might have only gotten a warning, but now what is done is done.
