Bailey hung up her call and looked to the people in the conference room. "They found her. Her car went off the side of the road. I don't know what condition she is in but she is unconscious. The helicopter will be here in 30 minutes. Get a team together people, I want an open OR, she will need a MRI. Move people, MOVE." Everyone scattered.
Richard hung back, "Bailey? Did they say anything else?"
Bailey shook her head "She was out there for two days. Alone. That poor girl."
She took off towards the Pit to get a trauma gown. "Hunt, you're in charge. Grey and Shepherd be ready." She headed towards the elevator. They all waited and finally could see the helicopter in the distance. It landed and they all ran towards it. The gurney was taken off and they pushed it back towards the elevator. Someone from the flight crew provided them with BP, heart rate. It didn't matter. They were experts. They could see she had a head laceration high on her left forehead. Her hair was matted with dried blood. Her eyes were sunken with what appeared to be raccoon bruises. She didn't appear to have any broken bones but her abdomen was rigid, showing signs of internal bleeding. Her prosthetic was still on but twisted.
They rushed her straight for scans. It was confirmed that there was a brain bleed and internal bleeding. Amelia and Meredith would operate with Owen assisting. They were scrubbing in when Bailey came in "Grey, you got this?"
Meredith replied "I do. Hey, can you call Callie? Arizona's parents need to be informed."
Bailey agreed to make the call. She went to the gallery to supervise the surgery. It was packed. She yelled at the interns "Don't you people have something to do?" That cleared most of the room, leaving Alex, April, Maggie and Richard. She knew better than to ask any of them to leave.
She pulled out her phone and called Callie. It rang once before she picked it up. "Torres, they found her. Her car went off the side of the road. She arrived here about an hour ago. She was unconscious" she paused listening to Callie "Yeah, she has a brain bleed that Amelia is working on and some internal bleeding that Grey and Hunt are fixing." She paused again "I don't know...I'm not sure. Yes, please let them know. You know we will take care of her." she paused again, "Yeah it was in pretty bad shape, she won't need it for a while...We won't know until she wakes up. I will keep in touch. Okay, you too...and Torres... say a prayer."
After 4 hours Meredith and Owen had located and controlled the bleeding, her liver was lacerated and it took a while to repair it. Amelia had located the bleed and finally managed to get it under control. There was nothing to do now but wait. They wheeled her into ICU. They decided that a doctor would stay by her side at all times until she was awake. Alex wanted the first shift. He sat at her bedside and held his mentors hand. Her condition did not change overnight. They did another brain scan. There was no additional issues but she remained unconscious.
Three days later, nothing had changed. Arizona's parents had been there for two days. This was hard on the older couple. April had been keeping close watch on her friends parents. She hadn't been as close to Arizona lately and she felt bad about that.
Meredith had kept in touch with Callie updating her on any changes. There really hadn't been any changes but they still talked several times a day. Meredith expressed her concerns with Arizona not waking up. They both knew the longer she was unconscious that the chances of her waking up. Callie informed her friend that both her and Sofia were taking a flight first thing in the morning. Callie told Meredith that maybe hearing Sofia would wake Arizona. Meredith told her old friend that maybe hearing Callie would wake her. Callie was taken aback by that comment "What are you talking about Mer?"
Meredith replied "Callie are you that naive?"
Callie said "Meredith, I honestly don't have any idea what you are talking about."
Meredith "Callie, why do you think Arizona let you take Sofia even though she won custody?"
Callie said "Arizona said that Sofia deserved two happy Moms."
Meredith sighed "And do you think that Arizona was happy? Everyone she ever loved was on the other side of the country. She was here all alone. No, Callie she just wanted you and Sofia to be happy."
Callie was horrified. This had never occurred to her. She was so happy when Arizona showed up with plane tickets that she never questioned her motives. She took Arizona at her word, now she realized how stupid she was and now Arizona was seriously hurt and she had taken their daughter away from her.
