Chapter Eleven
"What are you all looking at? Don't you have work to do, lives to save?" Everyone stared at Bailey, fear in their eyes. "Go!" They went, even the attendings and visitors.
Bailey's scary ability to command everyone was a constant in her life. A constant Cristina could depend on and for once this constant was actually comforting her, bring her back to some level of functionality. She looked around, watching more backs moving, but not seeing the one she needed, not seeing the one she wanted to be here.
"Karev, I said get your hands off Dr. Marlow." Evil Spawn reluctant let go, but stood close as if ready to tackle him. It was odd, Alex being here.
"Thank you Dr. um…Dr….Doctor. Now I shall take your leave." Colin attempted to straighten his wrinkled suit, trying to regain a sense of dignity. He failed miserably.
"Did I say you could leave?" Bailey glared.
"I am an attending and a chief canidate. I have seniority over you."
"Does it look like I care?" She pointed to a chair and he sat down.
"Grey, Karev take Yang to the locker room. I will deal with the three of you there."
The three interns made a show of reluctantly leaving; well Meredith and Alex did while she stumbled along dazed. Alex gestured toward a doorway where they would still be in earshot. If Cristina had been in a better mood, she would have loved to her Bailey ream into someone besides the interns, but Burke's back was stuck in her mind, him walking away replaying over and over and over.
"This is the second time you have harassed one of my interns." See Bailey knew everything.
"One of your interns just grabbed me." He sounded indignant.
"He will be dealt with, but you I am going to take care of you right now. Yang is my intern, my smart, bedside manner deficient intern. I don't care what you two were back at Stanford. It doesn't matter." Colin started to speak. "No, I'm not done. You do not get to interrupt me. You grabbed her butt in front of the hospital. Then today in the cafeteria you kissed her. If this is how you are everyday I do not understand how you haven't had a sexual harassment suit."
"Need I remind you I have seniority and my love life is my business."
"Oh you made your love life my business the moment you touched one of my interns. Now you will leave her the heck alone or—"
"Or what, you'll fire me? I'm not an intern."
"Did I not say no interrupting? I am the Nazi. I know all and see all and your stay here will be a living hell."
There was silence, probably a stare-down. "You may go, Dr. Marlow."
