About 5 minutes later their mom pulled up in the driveway and bolted through the front door.

"What the hell happened in here?" She took notice of Bailey and Zola's injuries. She shook her head. "We'll talk in a minute. Ellis? Ellis!" Meredith ran up to Ellis' room. "Where is she?" When she wasn't in her room, she continued to search the house for Ellis. "YOU SAID SHE WAS HERE!" Meredith screamed.

"She was here…" Zola frowned.

"WAS!? I TOLD YOU TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYED HERE!"

"We tried-" Bailey was cut off by his mom.

"TRIED? WELL YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH DID YOU?" She glanced at her two children and saw one had a bandaid on his palm and the other was holding her foot. "Oh…"

"Mom we really did try…" Bailey said.

"I know Bails. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to yell I'm having a rough day...h-how did this even happen? But first we need to take care of your foot Zola to make sure you got all glass out and that you don't need stitches and then-" Zola interrupted her mother.

"Mom, I'm fine. I got it all out. It didn't go in that far."

Meredith sighed with relief and sat down on the stairs while Bailey and Zola recalled the events that happened moments before she had arrived home. A few tears fell down her cheek, but she quickly wiped them away. Now was not time for a meltdown.

"We have to call her friends, call her- Alex call Alex! She mentioned wanting to live with him...but she doesn't have that much money… I'm gonna go check the hospital, you two check the park... Someone picked her up right? Because I didn't see her walking down the street. When did you say she left? Her bike it still here...what color was the car? Did she mention where she was going? I noticed her room was a complete mess and her duffle bag was missing-" Meredith rambled.

"Mom! Mom!" Zola grabbed her and looked her in the eyes. "Calm down. We will find her. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any details because Bailey was in the kitchen taking care of his cut, while I was picking up the glass."

"No! No!" Meredith broke free of Zola's grip. "You can't tell me that you don't know anything!"

"She just kept saying she had places to go! "Wait…" Zola changed topics. "Why wasn't she with you? Wasn't her ceremony today?"

"Nevermind why she wasn't with me! Just I need to go find her NOW! Call me if you know anything." Meredith shook her head. She grabbed her bag and dug for her keys. "Where are my keys?" She began to cry.

"They are right here." Zola said in a soft voice. She picked up the keys off the side table and handed them to her."

"Thank you." Meredith wiped a tear and bolted back out the front door.

Ellis turned around to look out the back window the car.

"You seem nervous...everything okay?" The girl sitting in the passenger seat turned her head toward Ellis.

"Yeah... Yeah..." she shook her head fast, she had been in a daze. "Everything's fine."

"If you are anything like your mother the word fine doesn't mean you are actually fine." The driver of the car laughed.

"Haha very funny Dr. Kepner." Ellis said sarcastically.

The car became quiet for a few moments until the April broke the silence.

"So are you girls excited for the party tonight?"

"Hell yeah!" They said in unison.

"I am so excited!" Squealed Harriet.

Ellis composed herself quickly and looked at Harriet in the eyes. "Harriet. This is our first big high school party. This is like… a right of passage. We need to be mature about this." She said seriously.

Harriet nodded. "You're right, you're right."

The two girls stared at each other in complete silence for three seconds before they burst out laughing.

"Who am I kidding, let's have some fun!" Ellis yelled.

Meredith searched up and down Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital looking for her daughter, but she was nowhere in sight. She scurried through the hallways and was not paying attention and ran right into Miranda Bailey. Her files went flying.

"Grey! Watch where you're going!" Bailey yelled.

"S-sorry Dr. Bailey." Meredith stuttered.

"Everything alright?" She asked in a more calm voice.

"I-I'm looking for Ellis have you seen her?"

"No...I haven't seen her around today. I thought she was at the ceremony- Meredith Grey don't you tell me that you missed that little girl's ceremony! Don't TELL me that you missed it-"

"Dr. Bailey! Meredith interrupted. This is not the time to be yelling at me for a mistake I made that is not surgery related! And I only missed because YOU made me stay and fix Nellie's bleed, which was not an easy fix by the way. It took me forever to find the source of it and when I did it was too late! Now if you'll excuse me I NEED to find my daughter!" Meredith tried to fight her tears, but she failed and began to cry.

"Oh Meredith…you should have paged me if you didn't find it by the time you had to go." Bailey rubbed her back and Meredith began to cry harder. She felt a guilt and anger running through her veins. "We are going to find her she couldn't have gone far. Now wipe those tears! And get moving to find your daughter! And when you do...you better make it up to her!"

I don't see how I can make this up…Meredith thought and just nodded her head. "If you see her-"

"Meredith GO! I will page you if I find her!" Meredith ran off as Dr. Bailey picked up her files.

Back at the Shepherd house Bailey and Zola were having no luck in finding their sister.

"Let's go through the list again. I can't think of anyone we are missing..." Zola racked her brain.

"HARRIET!" Bailey shouted. "We didn't call her!"

"Oh my gosh you're right! Call her! NOW!"

Bailey fumbled through his pockets and grabbed his phone and dialed Harriet's number.

"It's Bailey!" Harriet screamed.

"Where!?" Ellis hit the floor and rolled underneath Harriet's bed.

Harriet rolled her eyes. "He's calling me, he's not actually here."

"Then answer it! And do what we talked about!" Ellis said quickly and she crawled out from underneath Harriet's bed.

"Hello?" Harriet answered.

"Hey Harriet is Ellis with you?"

"No, I haven't seen her since 5th period why?"

"Because she ran off and we can't find her. Do you know where she is?"

"No, I'm not sure. Did you check the hospital? I know that she enjoy's watching surgeries in the OR gallery. She also likes the swings at the local park."

"We tried the park she wasn't there and our mom is checking the hospital. We have been looking for over an hour...Would you mind calling her maybe she will answer and talk to you?"

"Yeah I could try…"

"Thanks so much Harriet! If she answers will you call us?"

"Of course! But I gotta go now, so I'll talk to you later."

"Bye, thanks again." Bailey hung up.

Ellis and Harriet sighed in relief.

"That was a close one." Harriet let out another sigh of relief.

"So?" Zola asked.

"Nothing…" Bailey sighed.

"What are we gonna do?" Zola panicked.

"I don't know…." Bailey shook his head.

Both of them fell onto the couch and sighed.

Zola jumped right back up. "I can't think like this. Maybe… maybe if I write down the list we made that will help!" She ran to get a pad and paper and came back and started scribbling all over it.

Bailey shook his head. "We went over the list a million times…"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO BAILEY?! I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR A MIRACLE TO APPEAR!"

"Well there has to be something better we can do!"

Zola crossed her arms. "Oh really? What is it then?" She asked mockingly.

"I… I… I don't know…"
