Chapter 2 : Meredith and Izzie's house

"Where did you get this coffee, it tastes like it's three days old" Izzie looked into her mug with an expression of disgust on her face.

"That's because it is" Meredith said with a grin. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. But we have to go, otherwise we'll be late. "Meredith put her coat on and grabbed the car keys.

Izzie took a bottle of water out of the fridge and put it in her bag along with some other stuff "at least there is no Bailey to torture us about it". Bailey left a year ago to a hospital in Minnesota. Her husband could get a better job there and she got a great offer from the hospital there. "I can't wait until we get to instruct interns ourselves" Izzie said while buttoning her jacket.

While they were driving to the hospital Izzie talked about the subject for another ten minutes. But because Meredith gave her full attention to the driving, plus the fact that she didn't even care about it, her only reply was: " Yeah, well we'll see"

Finally arriving at the hospital Izzie let go of the matter when she saw Alex. They had been dating again for 6 months today, so she wanted to give him something special. Meredith gave a sigh of relief. "What's that all about" Cristina asked, who managed to catch up with the group. Meredith explained that Izzie was rambling on about what might happen if they survive the next couple of years. "Tell me about it. Burke was happy and ... this morning. It's just not human"

Izzie and Alex, Meredith and Cristina were standing by the elevator by the front entrance when George walked in. He had a grin on his face. "not another one, what's wrong with these people? " Cristina let out when she saw George approaching.

"Good morning fellow surge.. " George started, but he couldn't complete his sentence because he was interrupted by a nurse: "The chief wants you guys in his office, right now!"

Izzie was the first to react: "All of us? "she wanted to ask the nurse, but he was already gone.

The elevator doors opened and the five of them went inside. "What did you do!" George yelled at Alex.

"Shut up Sherlock, if evil spawn here did something, the chief wouldn't be calling us all" Cristina said.

"What did you do" Izzie said. "Maybe the chief is going to fire someone"Alex said even though nobody asked for his opinion.

"I hope it's gonna be you" Cristina returned.

"Well, whatever it is, he's gonna tell us quick, I've got patients to see" Meredith said annoyed. When the doors opened they all walked towards the chief's office. All wandering what the meeting will be about.
