Though not directly a crossover with "The Good Doctor" this story is connected to "The Good Doctor" episode "Quarantine".

She turns out to be infected with an airborne virus, causing Seaside, LAX, and a cafe to be quarantined. Will our heroes survive?

Chapter 1

Addison Montgomery sat at her desk going over a patient's chart. A young nurse, Andrea, walked into the office.

"You wanted to see me, Dr. Montgomery?" Andrea asked.

"Yes, Andrea," Addison replied. "The patient has the stomach flu. I need you to inform her and then you can go to lunch."

"Yes, Ma'am," Andrea said.

"Now if you'll excuse me," Addison said. "I'm going to lunch."

Addison walked to the elevator and pressed the button. As the elevator door opened, a young woman with red hair accidentally bumped into her.

"I am so sorry," the young woman said.

"It's completely fine," Addison said.

Addison entered the elevator and rode it down to the ground floor. She then exited the building, walked to the parking garage, got into her car, and drove off to a café. She then entered the café.

Back at Seaside, the young woman, who had bumped into Addison, sat in a chair. Charlotte walked over to her.

"Sweetie," Charlotte asked. "Have you been helped?"

"Not yet," the young woman replied. "No one seems to be at the desk."

"I am so sorry about that," Charlotte said. "It's the holidays and we're a bit short-staffed. How can I help you?"

The woman rolled up her sleeve to reveal a rash.

"I have this rash," the woman replied. "I noticed it when I got off the plane and I decided to come and get it checked out."

"Where did you fly in from?" Charlotte asked.

"San Jose to LAX," the young woman replied. "Why?"

"Oh God!" Charlotte shouted. "Come with me!"

"What's going on?" the young woman asked.

"You have that airborne virus," Charlotte said. "And now everyone here has been exposed."

Charlotte led the young woman down the hallway into an examination room. She then had the young woman lie down on a bed.

"Stay here," Charlotte said.

Charlotte walked down the hallway to Naomi's office.

"Naomi!" Charlotte said. "We have a patient from San Jose with that airborne infection! We need to call the health department!"

"What?" Naomi asked concerned.

"And we need to call LAX!" Charlotte shouted. "We have to go into quarantine!"

Meanwhile, Addison sat at the café eating a sandwich. Her phone began to ring and she answered it.

"Hello," Addison said.

"Addison!" Charlotte shouted.

"Charlotte?" Addison asked.

"A young patient came to get a rash checked out!" Charlotte shouted. "It's that airborne virus that quarantined Saint Bonaventure!"

"What?" Addison asked.

"And the whole building is being quarantined as well as LAX!" Charlotte shouted.

"Is this patient a young woman with red hair?" Addison asked.

"Yes," Charlotte replied. "Why?"

"I bumped into her on my way to lunch!" Addison exclaimed. "I've been exposed and so has this entire restaurant!"

Addison hung up her phone, ran to the door, and locked it.

"Attention everyone!" Addison exclaimed. "My name is Addison Montgomery! I am a doctor at Seaside Health and Wellness! I've just been informed that I've been exposed to an airborne virus! That means so have all of you! As of now, we are all under quarantine! No one goes in, no one goes out!"
