Chapter 11: Finally

''We will ground in 2 minutes'' The pilot spoke.

''Okay people, listen up!'' Richard spoke. ''In just a few minutes one of our own will be brought in and I can tell you that his situation is pretty serious, so we need all hands on deck'' He spoke with caution and calmness to not cause any panic among his staff. ''But don't forget that we have other patients to get to so let's do our jobs people''

And with that, the people in the room left to do their jobs but Bailey was just standing there, in the middle of the room, facing the ground.

'''' Richard said calmy. He hadn't told that Derek was the one who was gonna be brought in but was and somehow she always knew when something was wrong. ''Is there something I can do for you?'' he asked, not really knowing what to say in such a situation.

''Chief, who is it?'' Bailey asked with a hushed voice. Her face displaying all kinds of sadness. Sadness she never showed in public and most certainly didn't want to show to anyone, but know.. she had no choice than to just give in.

He sighed and then said: ''''

''How bad?'' She asked immediately after Richard had answered her.

''Bad'' was the only answer Richard could give her. And honestly, he didn't know much about Derek's condition himself, he only knew that he was slipping in and out of consciousness and that his breathing was not good. He didn't ask for details, he just hung up and prepped the trauma room right after. He didn't want to think about how bad it was or that Meredith wasn't found yet. He needed to focus and act calm.

''Mm'' Bailey mumbled and nodded slightly. 'Focus Bailey, you can do this, don't panic' she said to her inner self. And suddenly she thought about her intern. Her annoying, but friendly intern whom she secretly liked.

''And Meredith, Chief?'' She knew that her intern was always with Derek so it most likely wouldn't be different this time around.

When that particular name came rolling out of 's mouth he tensed up immediately and Bailey could sense something was wrong with Meredith too.

''Chief?'' Bailey spoke. ''What's wrong with Meredith, is she hurt too?'' her eyes got wide when she thought of that.

''We don't know'' He spoke chiefly again, not wanting to show his emotions either. ''Meredith hasn't been found yet, so we don't know if she's hurt or not but I spoke to Owen on the phone just minutes ago and he said that it's possible that Meredith went out to get some help''

But when exactly were they reported missing, Chief? Cause nobody seemed to bother to tell me anything about this and I have every right to know'' She was on full Bailey mode again after hearing that her intern probably went out to get help and she knew Meredith was smart enough to get out of this situation. After all, she cheated death once and kept standing her ground when so much was thrown in her direction. So she had all faith that her intern would return safely.

''About 4 hours ago but we didn't want to cause any panic since it was just an assumption at that time and we didn't know what their location was and if they were hurt. So we wanted to keep it quiet till we made sure it was serious''

Bailey just nodded. He knew Richard was right and that he acted the right way. But she was still and everyone always made sure to tell .

''We should go to the roof'' she said. ''Is the trauma room prepped?''

''Yes and yes'' Richard replied.

''Good'' she replied back and then they left the room to go up to the roof to wait for Derek's arrival.

''Okay, hold on tight Meredith, it's gonna hurt'' Mark said. He was placing the piece of tree under a small space underneath the rock which would probably give enough force to lift the rock off of Meredith's foot.

Meredith knew that this was gonna hurt but there was no way she could prepare for it so she just closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come.

''Okay, here it comes Mer'' And he counted till 3 in his head and then pressed with as much force as he could down onto the tree and the rock moved slowly but surely.

''Aaarg'' Mark groaned. It was really hard but knew that if he went on for some more seconds it would work and Meredith's leg would be free so he pressed harder and harder and then..

''Aaaahhh'' Meredith yelled in pain when the rock rolled off her foot and it suddenly had no pressure on it anymore.

''YESSS!'' Mark yelled, the complete opposite of what Meredith was feeling. ''We did it kiddo'' and he winked at her. But then he saw the pain written across her face and he knelt beside her leg to take a close look at it.

''Does it hurt that much kiddo?'' He asked sadly.

''Mmm'' Was the only thing Meredith could say, along with a firm nod.

''Okay, I'm gonna touch it again Mer. Tell me when the pain is unbearable'' He said and moved his hand to Meredith's shin. He gently laid it on top of it and looked at her face immediately to check for any signs of pain but when he saw none he pushed on the small cut in the middle of her shin. He knew that this would probably be the source of her pain along with a probable fracture underneath it.

''Aaaaaahhhh'' She screamed out again and Mark immediately pulled his hand back.

''That's what I already thought kiddo'' He said. ''I think you have a fracture underneath that cut. But I think it's not too severe, probably just hair lined. All by all it seems you've been pretty lucky!''

''Yeahh'' Meredith said quietly.

Mark was lost in his thought for a moment and then suddenly noticed that Derek wasn't with Meredith. He knew that they were both reported missing but he didn't see Derek and Meredith hasn't talked about him. Oh God, how could he be this stupid to not think about his brother!

And then he could suddenly connect all the dots. Meredith's foot was stuck, and when he asked how she got in this position she completely tensed up and couldn't say anything other than 'I'm fine' which he knew was bad, really bad.

''Mer…'' Mark asked quietly. ''It's Derek isn't it?''

''What'' She said confused, just pulled out of her thoughts.

''Derek'' He said again. ''He's hurt isn't he?''

It was silent for a few seconds before the sobs of Meredith filled that silence.

''Oh, come here kiddo'' He said, and went over to Meredith to pull her into a sitting hug, being very careful for her leg.

''He's he's.. really sick Mark, and.. he's there all alone and I don't know… He.. he screamed and I, I got distracted and slipped and that's how I got stuck'' She spoke. ''I mean.. I don't know how's he doing or if he's still alive and-''

''Ssshh'' Mark shushed and began stroking her hair. ''It's alright, he's Derek. You know him, and he wouldn't go down without a fight, you know that. He will do everything to stay with you.''

Meredith calmed down a bit and her sobbing stopped. She was really comforted by Mark's words and knew he meant every word of what he had said and that was just really… touching. It was Mark after all and he rarely showed his softer side. But she was glad he did.

''Mark?'' Meredith asked.

''Mmmm'' He mumbled.

''Go and find Derek'' She said suddenly.

''What?'' Mark asked, shocked at Meredith's request.

''Find Derek and make sure he gets to a hospital because he doesn't have much time left''

''But-''

''Please Mark.'' She said. ''He's like your brother, you grew up with him, please find him and take him to the hospital before it's too late''

Meredith's tears came pooling back in her eyes and Mark couldn't do anything than to just give in.

''Okay'' He said. ''I will find him as soon as you're safe and in an ambulance''

''No'' She began. ''Please Mark, you got to find him before it's too late''

Mark thought about that for a while and then got an idea: ''Listen Mer, when I heard about you and Derek missing I got in my car and drove to here immediately. When I got there I saw a helicopter and 2 ambulances. I also saw and with a few men of the Rescue team. They were about to go into the forest and I asked them if I could join them, but I couldn't. So when they got out of sight I went for the other direction and that's what brought me to you. And the lucky part is that it didn't take me long before I found you so we're close by. The only problem is is that I left my cell phone in my locker so what we're gonna do is, I'm going to get help and get you in an ambulance as soon as possible and then I will find Derek Mer, I promise''

Meredith thought about this for a few seconds and then agreed. ''Okay''

''I don't know if Yang or Hunt have already found Derek since I don't know what time it is but I will check'' Mark said.

''You can find him in some sort of cave we went to hide in when the storm set up. But you gotta hurry Mark'' She said worried.

''I will'' Mark said. ''Stay put Meredith, don't move, okay? I will go and find help now. I will be back in about half an hour''

''Okay'' Meredith said. And Mark nodded in return before sprinting off to get help…

''Derek! Stay with me man'' Owen spoke loudly.

Derek was getting worse any second by now but luckily he already saw Richard and Bailey standing on the roof with the Head Nurse and a gurney, waiting for Derek to use.

The door slid open and Owen immediately spoke before the others could say anything.

''Derek Shepherd, 34 years old male with a dangerously high fever, coupled with double pneumonia and a severely broken wrist. Respiratory system is falling. Needing oxygen immediately.''

Richard and stared in shock at Derek. He was incredibly pale and sweat drops were falling of his face. ''Okay, give him 5 liters by mask, now!'' Richard ordered.

Head Nurse Katy removed his nasal cannula and grabbed the oxygen mask to put it over his face. ''All done'' She said.

''Okay'' Richard said. He moved over to Derek and looked him in the eye. ''Derek!'' he said loudly. ''Derek, can you hear me?''

But Derek didn't look back, instead he closed his eyes and let out a small groan in response.

''Okay, let's get him inside now!'' Richard yelled.

'''' Richard spoke. ''Good job'' he said, and patted him on the shoulder. ''I know it's hard to see a friend in this position but he will pull through, I'm sure of that.''

''I know Chief, it's just that-'' but suddenly they got interrupted by a cell phone ringing.

''The Chief'' Richard said professionally.

''Chief, Rob Belsey here, I'm one of the paramedics on scene and I just spoke to a man called who claimed he found Meredith Grey.''

Richard was shocked. ''Uhmm.. that's… that's great news. Thank you . I will contact immediately''

''He says he has no phone Chief'' said.

''Uhm.. okay, can I call back to this number?'' He asked.

''Yes Chief'' said.

''Okay, thank you'' He said, and then hung up.

''They found Meredith!'' Richard said relieved.
