Miranda bailey looked at her pager seeing a 911 to the elevator on the OR floor. She rolled her eyes and ran to the elevator ready to give Meredith Grey an earful. She heard the elevator ding and closed her eyes. "Meredith Grey what-" she said and opened her eyes stopping her mid sentence as she saw blood covered Derek Shepherd holding a seizing Meredith Grey, "What the hell," she finished quietly frozen in place. "Miranda, please" Derek choked out staring at her.
"W-we need an OR." Miranda stuttered looking around for a gurney. She found one and ran over to Derek and Meredith with it. Derek lifted Meredith onto the gurney."Derek what the hell happened?" Miranda asked.
"I think she was shot." He breathed out.
"We need to call the police " She whispered.
"What?" he said weakly.
"We need to call the damn police!" Miranda half yelled as she ran off towards Derek's office praying she wouldn't meet the shooter. After running for what seemed like hours she finally reached the office where she found April Kepner covered in blood sobbing. "April Kepner what happened?" she said out of breath.
"I, uh, I grew up on a farm, so, you know, blood- blood doesn't-doesn't bother me. I.. I slaughtered a pig once. That was a lot of blood. Bleeding like a stuck pig- you know that's a- that's saying. To bleed like a pig you know, it means something. But you don't think of people as having that m-much blood. You learn in med school how many pints we all have in us, but you don't realize until you see it. You don't get how m- how much blood- and a skinny person. I mean, my god, Reed, she's-" She stumbled as Bailey checked her up and down for signs of a gunshot wound.
Once she said Reed it clicked. "April, was Reed shot?" Bailey said interrupting her as kindly yet urgently as possible.
"Y-yes, Reed's dead. Someone shot her. How- how did you know?" She said holding back sobs.
"Okay, we need to call the police. Okay. okay. You need a change of clothes. Can you look in his closet for a change of clothes," Bailey said trying to stay calm. She ran and picked up the phone dialing in 911. The dispatcher picked up saying "911 what's your emergency." "I'm at Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital and- and there's a shooter here. I know at least two people have shot. One of them is dead. Please send help." The dispatcher sat stunned for a second and then responded saying something "Okay, help is on it's way." "Please hurry," she begged and hung up. She quickly dialed the head of security and picked up a binder with procedures. "This is Dr. Miranda Bailey there's a shooter active in the hospital."
There was silence on the other line. She practically screamed, "What's the procedure."
"I don't know," the head of security stammered.
"You're head of hospital security it's your job to know what the hell to do. And don't give me any shit about that this has never happened before because I need you to be freakin prepared." She yelled into the phone while looking through the binder. "I found it cause you're so useless. Lockdown. Nobody moves in or out. Nobody better so much as breathes let alone moves until we know what's going on," she finished hanging up the phone and looked at April who had changed into a pair of dark blue scrubs.
"D-derek left his pager and his phone in here. H-he got a phone call from- from Meredith w-while he was getting something. Once- once he got back I told him that she had paged- paged him 911. He left and left them I guess," She stammered holding the phone and pager.
"Okay grab them. We have to get to the OR floor," Bailey said checking April over.
"But you said nobody moves," April protested.
"I know but Meredith Grey was shot and we need to assist on her surgery," Bailey said as calmly as she could.
"Oh god, oh, oh okay." She said and followed Bailey out.

Derek Shepherd watched as Miranda Bailey ran away. He looked back down at Meredith who was still seizing as he made his way to the nearest OR. He pushed the doors open to find Teddy and Owen working. "H-how much longer will you guys be in here?" He asked trying to steady his voice. Owen looked over and stared at Meredith dumbfounded as she stopped seizing.
"I'm sorry Dr. Shepherd, but even though it may be an inconvenience to you I'm working to save a man's life," she said not looking up as she focused on the heart she was working on. Once she finished the thing she was working on she looked up causing her attitude to disappear.
"Derek take her to the OR across the hall. We'll be over there as soon as we're finished." Owen said almost in a whisper. "We'll send the anesthesiologist and some scrub nurses over with you."

Christina Yang walked by the OR elevators annoyed that Meredith had paged her so urgently. She waited by the elevator for a couple minutes and shrugged. She walked to Teddy and Owen's OR to see what they were doing and if they needed help. "Meredith paged me here and I came to see if you needed help," she said.
"N-no we don't need help. Meredith is in the OR across the hall." Teddy said and paused "Christina, I'm sorry."
"Okay?" Christina said kinda laughing.
"Christina you need to go. I'm sorry" Owen said quietly.
Christina gave them a weird look and crossed to the OR across the hall and froze. She saw Meredith covered in blood and intubated surrounded by scrub nurses and an anesthesiologist. She let out a strange sound that was somewhere between a sob and a gasp. She looked into the scrub room to see Derek Shepherd kneeling on the ground. She walked into the scrub room shaking. "Derek, what happened?" she said sobbing.
"She was shot. I- I found her in the- in the elevator. I don't know. I don't know." He said shaking.
"WWe- we have to operate?" Christina stuttered as she began scrubbing.
"Yeah " Derek whispered standing up and joined Christina. After they finished scrubbing they ran into the operating room. Christina took a deep breath and called out "ten blade!" after examining Meredith's chest while Derek did a basic neuro exam on her.
"Suction," Christina breathed, she couldn't see anything. Suddenly Dr. Bailey and April Kepner came running into the OR. April gasped as Bailey ran to scrub.
Derek looked up, "I think there might be a brain injury," he said quietly his voice shaking as Dr. Bailey walked back in.
"Okay so we need to work on her brain, her chest, and-" she said.
"Her abdomen," Christina said interrupting her.
"Okay, Derek you… you wait a second. We'll get her stable. Yes we'll get her stable and then you- you can work as well." Bailey said breathlessly as she approached the table.
"Reed was shot too!" April bluttered out, "she's dead."
"Kepner go scrub and you and Derek keep each other calm." Bailey said taking command. However just as they felt they had things under control, Meredith's monitor started beeping as she flatlined.

Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan both looked down at their pager as they got a 911 page from Meredith Grey. Lexie sighed as she and Mark approached the elevator, wishing she could be with anyone else. Mark however grinned to himself as he looked at Lexie. They hit the button on the elevator. The elevator doors opened to reveal Alex Karev unconscious and lying in a puddle of blood. They both stood there in silence for a second before Lexie let out a gasp and Mark muttered something under his breath. They got into the elevator and Mark began to examine Alex's injuries while Lexie rambled, "What the hell are we going to do? Where are we going to go? What happened?" she said while pacing.
"Lexie! Calm down!" Mark said, "We're going to get him somewhere safe as soon as we can. The elevator doors opened again to show an empty entryway filled with carnage. Mark was thinking fast "The shooter's already been here, he probably won't come back. We need to get him somewhere safe and private," he said slowly "Lexie pick up his legs" as he picked up his head. They found a Conference room and laid him down on the table.
"We- we need to get supplies." Lexie said as she left the room.
"I'll be right back," Mark said to Alex as he followed Lexie out towards the supply closet. Lexie was grabbing as much as she could in the supply closet. "Lexie, everything's going to be okay." Mark said as he picked things up as well. "Okay, okay," she nodded as they ran back to the room.
Alex was still out when they got back in there. Mark walked over him and continued to inspect Alex.
Lexie said "We have to move him."
"There's no exit wound," Mark said cursing.
"What if the shooter comes back." Lexie said.
"We're gonna have to flip him." Mark said.
"We have to get him somewhere safer!" Lexie said. "We can't move him he's bleeding too much. So Lexie grab him under the shoulders." She did and they flipped him. "Nothing. Damnit! The bullet's still in there." They got to work trying to stabilize him.
They looked down at their pagers to see they were under lockdown. "Finally," Lexie said as they got back to work.
Several minutes later Alex woke up. He groaned and gritted his teeth saying "I'm so freakin' pissed. I'm gonna kill that guy."
All of the sudden Mark's phone rang, it was Derek Shepherd."I'm going to answer this," he said stepping away.
Derek Shepherd stood in the scrub room his hand shaking as he held the phone, "Mark, why didn't you come when I paged you? I really need you!" He said his voice breaking.
"Derek, I've been a little busy working on Alex Karev in a freaking conference room cause he was shot." Mark said.
"Crap, Alex was shot too?" Derek said shocked.
"Derek! Who else was shot? We saw some nurses in a hallway but who else was shot?" Mark asked catching Lexie and Alex's attention.
"Reed Adamson is dead and- and" he said his voice breaking "and Meredith isn't looking so good" he finished before breaking down.
"Shit" Mark said before being interrupted by Lexie and Alex.
"Who else was shot?" Lexie asked.
"Umm Reed's dead." Mark said slowly.
"I know I saw," Alex groaned, "Anyone else?"
Mark began to say "Meredith" but stopped himself.
"Who else Mark?" Lexie begged.
"Meredith," Mark responded softly. The room was silent for a second.
"Damnit" Alex groaned "She's all I have."
"H-how is she?" Lexie said shakily.
"Not good," Mark said but was interrupted by an anguished scream on the other end of the line and a loud beeping.
