Last chapter I just wanted to write a bit on the kids and their friends, but in this one I'm trying something new for me and try to write a case. Tell me what you think.

Enjoy! :)

"There was a shooting at the mall three blocks away there are at least 4 deaths and multiple injured. All hands on deck; the first ambulance gets were in 5." Bailey was no longer their resident but she was still a dictator.

It was Meredith's birthday; she didn't mind much about missing it anyway; since Ellen was born they had started to celebrate her birthday on the next day since their birthdays were back to back. But there were two cakes anyway, and a week worth of leftovers.

As she was thinking about how old she was by then, the ambulance siren brought her back.

"Alyssa Monroe 15; GSW to the right leg. She was unconscious at the field but woke up during the drive here and is currently stable." The paramedics told them.

"I'll take her to trauma one, you take the next one that come through the doors. And I want Keller to come with me please." She told the interns and recruited Eleanor Keller to assist her.

Dr. Keller was a third year intern, she was a bit of a bleeding heart really great with kids and teenagers so she could take care of the patient properly.

"Where are my friends? Are they okay?" asked Alyssa with tears in her eyes.

"Alyssa relax; my name is Meredith and this is Eleanor, were going to fix you and then you can stress all you want. Can you tell me what happened?"

"I was at the mall with my boyfriend Dylan and my best friends Claire and Paige when these two guys started to argue over a toy or something, one of them flips and starts shooting everyone nearby. Dylan's friends were in the bathroom they must have left when the shots were fired." She started to cry even more.

"The good news is that most of this blood is not yours and the bullet only made a nasty cut. We'll suture you and send you home." Keller tried to cheer her up.

Then Meredith noticed something.

"Dr. Keller can you get over here please."

She lifted the bed sheet and saw blood all over Alyssa's legs.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"When was your last period?"

"I've concern because I'm two weeks late but maybe it's because of the stress, I finally made it into the cheerleader squad and I've been up until later to finish my homework."

"Okay, it seems it may have just started."

"Thank god I was beginning to think that I might be pregnant."

Meredith whispered in Eleanor's ear and told her to get the ultrasound machine. That was way too much blood to be menstruation.

Meanwhile she tried to distract Alyssa.

"So you have a boyfriend, right?"

"Dylan is the best guy in the world. He is so sweet and caring."

"You're a lucky girl then."

"He was my first. I plan on going to same college as him and marring him after graduation. After we both get jobs we'll start having kids. I want at least four."

"I have three at home and believe me it's enough."

"Really? How old are they?"

She took out her cell phone and showed her pictures of her children as she talked.

"Ruby and Grace are twins they are 6 years old. They turn seven next March. And Ellen turns four tomorrow."

Dr. Keller came in the room.

"What's that thing for? I can't be pregnant if I just started my cycle right?" Alyssa said with a terrified look on her face.

"We need to make sure everything is okay before letting you out of here. This is just standard protocol."

pulled Meredith aside. " While I was outside I saw two body bags both teenagers. The tags said Dylan Holmes and Paige Skyler. I think they might be her friends. It explains why there was so much blood on her clothes."

"If she asks about them tell her you haven't seen them and they were probably taken to Seattle Pres if injured."

"Will we wait for her parents to tell her?"

"We should tell her parents first if my suspicions are right."

"Is everything okay?"Alyssa kept getting even more scared.

"Yeah, was just informing me that there's carrot soup for lunch today. I don't know what they put in there but it's delicious."

"Whatever. Can I get my phone back? I want to check on Claire, Paige and Dylan."

"Just after this test."

Meredith was right.

"Shit!" Meredith though to herself." She had a miscarriage."

Please review…tests are back, I'm exhausted and I could really use a cheer up. Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase… ;)
