They both sat up, but neither said anything at first. They just looked shocked at each other. Neither one had thought about the possibility of meeting the other in the basement. Then they looked around, and then both said sorry at the exact same time. She helped him pick up the papers. Both wanted to ask the other what they were doing down here. She handed him the last piece of paper.
"Hiding?" She joked, and sent him a small smile. He only nodded.
"You?" She nodded to, and before they could say anything more both there pagers went off.

Marry, Emily and Abby sat in the stairwell. One step each so they wouldn't be in the way for the busy doctors. Emily was texting, Abby was staring out in to the empty air and Marry was trapping her fingers on the step she was sitting on.
"Stacy suggests looking them in a closet" Emily said.
"Too cliché."
"Too much work"
They sat in silence again, Emily continued texting with her cousin and the other two observed what was going on around them.
They had spent the rest of the day listening to gossip and talking about their uncle.
Marry's eyes focused on Meredith as she came out of the elevator and she followed her wither her eyes. Abby's focused on the other end of the room where her uncle came through a door. They observed closely as they passed each other and their eyes looked for a second.
Marry yeaned "I'm going to go see if I can find Mark, thought I would try talking him in to taking me to dinner. You want to come?"
"No, I'm going to stay a little longer and then head back to the hotel." Abby said.
"Me too"
Marry nodded and said good bye to her sisters.
"What do you think? Abby asked leaning back so she was resting against her sister knees.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we should give him a change."
"Maybe…"
