I took a huge leap and showed this story to a real person for the first time and I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my friend Courtney who insisted that I finish it. I m so sorry to every person that read my work and was left wanting, I m hoping that anyone who still wants to give my story some time a has little bit of closure with this...

Grey's Anatomy does not belong to me :)

Epilogue

The ride wasn't smooth, but it was a welcome change. The airplane had been stifling, and although the air seemed to suck every bit of moisture from the air it was good to be able to move a little. 'Move a little' was probably an understatement. There were no seat belts in the back seat and with every bump of the dirt road Meredith was worried that her head would hit the canopy of the jeep

There were so many reasons for her not to be here. For one, people were worried about her safety. And while the large silent man with the gun that was sitting across from her did nothing to calm her on that matter, the most important person had put her at ease before she even signed her papers. She was sorry to be leaving Christina all alone. She'd just found an engagement ring in Burke s apartment and had sent Meredith a furious email asking if she should propose to him in order to show him what it was like to be put upon like that. But the truth was that she barely cared where she was, or who she was missing.

That the political situation was complicated or that she might be truly out of her depth. He had asked her to come away with him. To leave the zoo that was Seattle Grace, for the savannah with him if only for a little while.

"No more old people!" he laughed, and then looked at her seriously "I've always wanted to really make a difference."

What he didn't realise was that he already had.

"Ah, le medicines sans frontiers!" said the woman coming out of the tent, that was to be Meredith s new Seattle Grace "I thought there were two of you?"

"Yes," Meredith replied with a smile as she jumped down off the back of the jeep. "My partner s riding in the next car."

As if on cue, the cloud of dust rose in the air signalling the incoming vehicle. It skidded to a halt in the dirt. The zipper came undone and another man carrying an identical gun to her previous fellow passenger got out. The next man threw out his bag first and then jumped out himself. Mark Sloan was wearing a safari vest and wide smile.

"I'll go and get some one to show you to your lodgings." The woman said quickly, returning to the tent.

"You ready?" He asked, coming up to Meredith and kissing her on the head.

"You re only asking that now?" She asked, smiling up at him.

"I sure am." He replied, "Just when it's too late for you to go back with out me."

"I guess I'm lucky this is exactly where I want to be." She replied

"So am I." Mark replied
