Hi :)

I don't want to spoil you, but... the drama is coming. The next few chapters will be... you will see ;) And that means that this story is coming to the end. I don't know how many parts are left, but I know that end is close.

But don't worry, the MERDER love won't stop. I have already started writting a few MERDER stories. I don't know which one of them will be published, but I PROMISE to you that I'm not stopping! :)

The information about the next story will be given later. Do you have any guesses what it would be?

The way to the hospital took an hour. At half past ten they walked inside the hospital. As usual people were everywhere, nurses and doctors talked with different family relatives and Meredith saw Cristina kissing an intern. His name was Shane Ross.

Ignoring Cristina, Meredith went to the elevator with Carolyn and Nancy behind her. It was emply and Meredith was glad. She didn't want to face anyome. It was enough that people in this building talked about her and her family.

"Wasn't that Owen's girlfriend?" Carolyn asked, when the doors of elevator closed.

"How do you know that?" Meredith spun around.

They didn't replay immediately. Meredith looked into Nancy's eyes and then Carolyn's. They didn't look guilty. That mean someone other had given them information about Owen and Cristina.

When Meredith wanted to ask them more questions, the doors opened and they went outside. Meredith left the elevator last, but she didn't get a chance to go further because a guard stopped her.

"Who are you?" He said in angry tone. He was tired and Meredith saw it.

"Leon, she can go." Meredith heard Luke's voice. He was standing behind Leon with Nancy and Carolyn. Leon moved his big body away and let Meredith go. "And you go rest. Smith will change you."

Leon nodded and left.

"You also look tired, detective." Meredith said seeing his tired face. Meredith saw that it was hard for him to keep open his grey eyes. "You also should go and rest."

"I will, when Derek will be into the surgery." He answered and looked at the watch. "Dr. Bailey and Dr. Koracick have been with him for the past ten minutes. They are preparing him for the surgery."

"I will go and see him if that's possible." Carolyn looked for an answer in Meredith's face. When she saw Meredith nod, she smiled and started walking towards his room with Nancy following. When Meredith was left alone with Luke, she turned her attention to him.

"Any changes in his case?"

"Let's go and sit down. It's hard for me to stand." Luke confessed. Meredith followed him to nearlest chair and helped him to sit down.

"Are you alright?" Meredith asked, when she measured his pulse. His heart was beating fast. "Your heart ir beating fast. Does anything hurt?"

"My head, but it's nothing." Meredith touched his forehead.

"Your body temperature seems normal, but you look tired and pale. Drink this." Meredith gave him her watter bottle. He hesitating took it. "Don't worry I'm not sick. Now drink." She ordered and Luke smiled.

"Now you are acting like a doctor."

She smiled and sat down next to him. "Because I'm a doctor." Meredith touched his arm. "How many hours did you sleep last night?"

"Zero. I never closed my eyes." He confesed.

"Meredith, is everything alright?" They saw Bailey walking to them. She was looking at them with concern.

"He can faint in every moment. His reart rate is faster than averange, he is dehydrated and hasn't slept for the past twenty four fours."

"I would say forty." Bailey added and touched his forehead. "You should sleep, detective."

"I will."

"We should get him in the bed." Meredith said and looked around. "Can we put him in one of the beds here?"

"Room three." Bailey put one arm under his and Meredith did the same with other. "Let's go."

They slowly helped Luke to get up, and together went to the room number three. Meredith helped to get him into bed and took of his shoes and jacket. At the same time Bailey gave him a saline bag.

"Try to sleep, detective. Everything will be alright." Meredith put over him a white blanket and left. Before closing the door she looked over her shoulder and saw him sleeping.

Meredith went outside and found Bailey talking to one of the guards.

"He will be taken to OR 3 in ten minutes. Dr. Webber and Dr. Yang will be there to meet us." Bailey said. When she saw Meredith walking towards them, she turned and introduced her to the guard.

"This is Meredith Shepherd. Meredith, this is Andrew." Meredith smiled and shook his hand. "One of the guards. He has been ordered to follow every Derek's move after leaving his room."

Meredith nodded. "Can I go and see Derek now?"

Bailey nodded and Meredith started going to Derek's room, but something caught her eyes. It was a dark figure that stood in in the hallway with a gun in his hands. Meredith stopped in a fear and tried to hide, but the floor decided to made a sound and she cursed. The dark figure turned around and Meredith saw it's face.

"Maggie…" She whispered and clutched her bag. She was suprised to see Maggie here, but she was more suprised that she had gotten into the hospital without being caught. Looking into Maggies eyes, she saw pain and anger in there. Her dark eyes were filled with hate and disgust, making Meredith shiver.

Maggie took of her hood and Meredith was able to see her face better. There was a dark bruise near her left eye and her lip was split. Meredith saw her slowly taking steps closer and closer and Meredith tried to move back, but was met by the cold wall.

"My dead sister," Maggie said with a smirk. Meredith heard in her voice contempt and anger. Maggie was angry and dangerous. In her hands was a black gun, it looked like she was ready to shot in every moment. "I was waiting for you."

"Maggie, what – " Meredith tried to talk, but Maggie stopped her. She pointed the gun at her chest and shouted.

"DON"T INTERUPT ME!" She took a step closer and was standing only a few steps away. "I will speak and you will listen. It's all I ask."

When Meredith didn't replay anything, Maggie shouted again. "DID YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"Yes." Meredith was scared. She didn't want to die. She had four children to take care of and husband, who was in the coma. One wrong movement and he is dead. She wasn't ready to lose him again. She needed him, she needed Derek more than ever she had needed. Right now she wished to see him again, even if that would be the last thing she does in her life.

This would end bad, Meredith knew it. There was no one around. All the guards were gone, no nurses or doctors, who were supposed to monitor and watch Derek, were no where seen. She was afraid that nobody heard Maggie shouting. And deep inside of her heart, Meredith had a feeling that today will die one person – she or Derek.
