Ellis had led her daughter from the scrub room. She had calmed Meredith down and paged Alex.
Ellis parted with Meredith when Alex arrived. She trusted Alex to keep her daughter in one piece. She aimed for Marks office and had headed in that direction.
Ellis was so caught up in her thoughts that she ran into someone when she rounded the corner.
Ellis looked down at all of the papers and helped the person pick them up. "Sorry." Ellis muttered as she continued to gather the papers together.
"You really should be paying attention to where you are going." The voice replied curtly.
Ellis stopped and looked at the person who was standing in front of her. "Likewise Dr Montgomery-Shepherd" Ellis replied.
As Ellis went to say more Richard interrupted. "Elle" he opened.
Ellis quickly turned to him. "Have you seen Mark?" he asked.
Ellis sighed "Last time i saw him he was in the scrub room with Mer. He said he was going to talk to the family of his patient."
Richard frowned.
"He's done that, but hasn't been answering his pager since."
Ellis looked worried. "He didn't seem like himself." she noted. "Someone" she said pointedly. "Has gotten him down"
Richard thought about what Ellis had said.
"Where does he normally go to think?" Richard asked.
Ellis thought for a moment. She could remember being told about a place by Meredith once. "I think i know. I need to get back to Mercy West, but i can give you the directions."
Richard nodded.
Ellis reached for his hand. She shot one last look at Addison before walking away with Richard.
