Meredith, Lexie, Arizona, Bailey, Teddy, Alex, Jackson, and Owen were all sitting at Joe's Bar having a drink and toasting a great day. They had the bar almost completely to themselves, which was a little out of the ordinary seeing as it was a Friday night around 8:30.
" Where is Cristina?" Meredith asked Owen.
" She had some paperwork to finish up, she said that Callie would give her a ride here in about 20 minutes." Owen replied and Arizona nodded in confirmation.
All at once 8 doctors pagers went off.
" Damn, must be something big because there calling all of us in." Bailey said concerned.
" I hope its not another shooting, I swear to God I cannot deal with another shooting!" Lexie said and they all nodded in agreement.
They walked together out to the parking lot where they were ambushed. Three men in all black with ski masks on stood there, brandishing automatic weapons that had death written all over them. All 8 doctors froze momentarily. Owen and Teddy's military training kicked in though. Alex and Jackson were the next quickest to realize what was going on. Alex and Jackson lunged for the man that was closest to them, while Teddy and Owen went for the 2 in the front. Alex and Avery managed to overpower theirs but the men that Owen and Teddy were fighting were quicker and shot their guns. A bullet grazed Owen's arm while one caught Teddy in the foot.
" EVERYONE DOWN! NOW!" yelled the man who had shot Teddy. " Everyone get on the ground now!" at that all 8 doctors hit the deck. There was an unmistakable air of authority in the voice.
" Cellphones and Wallets on the ground in front of you! Do it! Now!" yelled the second man, the shortest but most built of the men.
The third man came around and collected the phones and wallets and put them in a small cardboard box. Then he took out all of their ID's and read there names out loud.
" When I read you name I want you to look at me, if you don't I will shoot you, understand?" The third man asked and they all shook there heads in understanding.
" Okay great, Lexie Grey, Meredith Grey, Miranda Bailey, Alex Karev, Arizona Robbins, what kind of name is Arizona? Teddy Altman, Owen Hunt and last but not least is Jackson Avery, oh we have a pretty boy!"
" What the hell do you want, man, what is your problem?" Alex asked as they were all ushered into a large black van. The first man, the obvious leader, shoved his gun butt in Alex's stomach.
" Shut up and get in the van. Clark can you take care of these?" he asked handing the second man the box with their phones, wallets and ID's.
" Sure I got it, I'll see you in a bit, Bill, Mike." Clark said.
Clark stood in the empty parking lot of the bar when he remembered that everyone inside the bar had just heard what happened. He marched into the bar and shot the three people that were inside. He then got in his Range Rover and drove to Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital. He got out of his car with the box and stopped a tall dark haired mexican looking woman.
" Excuse me Dr?" said Clark
" Torres." Callie replied pleasantly.
" Right Dr. Torres, can you do me a huge favor? Could you bring this to Chief Webber please its my last delivery of the day and I am already late for this very important dinner with my family. So do you think that you could do that for me?" Clark asked in his most innocent voice.
" Sure ya, of course, have a good night." Callie said as Clark turned and walked away. Callie turned and walked back towards the hospital and got in the elevator and made the short walk to the Chief's office. She knocked before she opened the door.
" Dr. Torres, what can I do for you?" The Chief asked looking up from a rather large pile of paperwork.
" This package is for you some delivery guy asked me to bring it to you." Callie said placing the small cardboard box on the desk.
" There is no address or anything, who did they say it was from?" Webber asked as he sliced open the box.
" They didn't, goodnight Sir." she said and started to walk from the office.
" Wait a minute Torres, come have a look at this!" he said.
Callie turned around and saw that the contents of the cardboard box were all across the Chief's desk. It took her a minute to process what they all were. Callie stared a minute with a puzzled look on her face before she started to make sense of what she was seeing.
" Chief, that is Arizona's cellphone and her wallet and ID! And oh my god Lexie's too. Chief what the hell is going on?" Callie said in a scared voice.
" The box had the ID's of Robbins, Karev, Both Grey's, Hunt, Altman, Bailey, and Avery."
" There is blood on Owen and Teddy's!"
" Look there is a note!" he said and he picked up the neatly folded piece of paper and read it out loud:
Dear Chief Webber,
You and your doctors have ruined many lives, killed innocent people, and ended beautiful families. Now you and your doctors both here and there are going to pay for all of that suffering. Drs. Grey, Robbins, Karev, Grey, Hunt, Bailey, Avery, and Altman will suffer the way that we did. If you contact the police one of you doctors will die and be delivered to your hospital, cold and lifeless, if you don't believe me by all means call the police, by doing so you sign your doctors death warrants.
Sincerely
The Suffered.
"What the hell?" Callie yelled " We have to do something, Arizona is in there! We can't go to the cops what do we do? Oh my God!" Callie said and then started to rant in Spanish. The Chief let her while he paged Sloan, Yang, Kepner and Shepard.
"Oh dios mio! Que vamos a hacer? Tenemos que salvar! No podemos dejarla morir! Oh dios mio! Que vamos a hacer?" She said and kept repeating the phrase faster and faster.
" What the hell is with Torres and the spanish again?" Mark asked as he walked in closely followed by April, Cristina and Derek. " What's going on?"
" What's going on? What's going on?" Callie yelled.
" Chief?" April asked worriedly.
" I got a box containing the wallets, cell phones, and ID's of Owen Hunt, Arizona Robbins, Miranda Bailey, Teddy Altman, Lexie Grey, Meredith Grey, Jackson Avery and Alex Karev. There was also a note." Webber said and then he read the note out loud. Mark punched the wall, Derek sank to his knees and put his hands on his head. Cristina, April and Callie sat on the sofa in the office and sat in silence.
" Oh my God! There is blood on Owen's phone!" Cristina said in a voice two octaves higher than normal as she saw her husbands bloody cellphone.
" What do we do?" asked April.
" We can't do nothing, but we can NOT call the cops." Mark said.
" Why not? I think that we should call." Derek said.
" I agree." Webber and April said at the same time.
" I don't." Cristina, Callie and Mark said.
" I am legally obligated by the state of Washington to report it if something like this happens in this hospital!" Webber said.
" Obligated? You saw what that note said! Do you want one of them dead? Is that what you want? Because if it is then by all means go ahead and call the cops. By calling the cops you are signing one of their death warrants! I swear to God Webber if anything happens to my girlfriend because you call the cops, you will answer to me! A very angry me!" Callie screamed at the Chief.
" Dr. Torres, I am not doing this in bad blood, I am not trying to make you angry or upset. But my hands are tied on this one." Webber said solemnly.
" Chief, I am with Callie on this one. My husband is already hurt," Cristina said picking up Owen's bloody cell phone. " He is also the most likely to fight back if anything were to happen. That will make him their number one target! We can't call the cops and sentence one of them to death!"
" How would they even find out if we called the police?" April asked.
" No! Yang and Torres are right! We cannot call the police, I am not going to risk Lexie's life like that no!" Mark said. The people in the rooms were now standing in 2 groups. Mark, Callie and Cristina were on one side while April, Webber and Derek were on the other.
" They won't find out!" Derek said.
" They Will!" Callie said back at him.
" I'm sorry but I have no choice I am calling the police." Webber said and he picked up the phone and dialed 911.
