"You haven't found her yet, she's been gone hours," raged Derek at the security guards.
It had been nearly 3 hours since Grace had run off, they couldn't find her anywhere.
"She is diabetic, she hasn't eaten in hours she need insulin or she could slip into a coma," snapped Mark.
"We're doing everything we can, we've looked at the footage from all exits she hasn't left the hospital," said the security guard.
"Alright then I want every department on alert," ordered Derek.
"Dr. Sloan, Dr. Shepherd, they found her," said Izzie bursting into the room.
"Where? Is she alright?" asked Mark.
"In a bathroom down at radiology, she's unconscious, they brought her back up to surgery" said Izzie.
Mark and Derek immediately sprung into action, rushing to see her. When they got to the surgical floor, the saw Dr. Bailey and George working on an unconscious Grace.
"What's going on? How is she?" demanded Mark.
"Her sugar levels are sky high, BP is dropping," shouted Bailey.
"Uh Dr. Bailey…." Said George handing her some results.
"Right, her kidney has ruptured lets get her to surgery NOW," demanded Bailey pushing the gurney out the room.
-------------------------------------------
"Where do you think you're going?" demanded Bailey, standing at the door of the OR.
"I'm going to remove her kidney," said Derek as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, he had just finished putting on his scrubs.
"Oh no you're not. You're too close to the patient you are not getting in this OR," she said blocking his way.
"What! Come on I can remove her kidney's with my eyes closed, I want to make sure she has someone in there that cares if she lives or dies," said Derek angrily.
"Dr. Bailey, I just heard. I was her doctor last night, can I scrub in?" gasped Meredith as she ran into the scrub room.
"Dr Shepherd?" said Bailey.
"Fine, but I want Burke in there," he said, wanting the best possible surgeon operating on Grace.
"I'm here," said Burke following Meredith in.
"Alright I guess you three are the next best thing to me," said Derek, "I'll be up in the gallery"
"Next best thing, who you kiddin' Shepherd," said Burke getting his scrubs on.
"She'll be alright," said Meredith resting her hand on Derek's shoulder.
"I know, she has to be," said Derek.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The surgery took less than hour, Grace's left kidney was removed. The surgery was smooth and successful. Derek, Mark and Addison were up in the gallery the whole time. Grace was being taken to recovery, Derek, Mark and Addison were waiting outside the scrub room for the surgeons.
"How did it go?" asked Derek.
"Good, there was some minor bleeding we're going to have to keep an eye on the kidney that's left but overall it was good," said Burke.
"How long until she comes round?" asked Mark.
"Another 6 hours," said Bailey.
"You should go home and get some sleep, she'll be unconscious. We'll page you when she wakes up. Dr. Shepherd you've been here at least 48 hours," said Meredith.
"Okay, I'm just going to go and check on her then I'll book into a hotel. I'll be back in the morning," said Mark heading off to Grace's room.
"I'm staying here tonight," said Derek.
"Honey, you're not on call," said Addison.
"I am now," he snapped.
"Alright okay, then I'll stay as well," said Addison.
"No, you don't have to. She wouldn't want you here," said Derek harshly.
"Derek…" said Addison the hurt evident in her voice.
"What it's true, she said so herself," said Derek turning and walking in the direction of Grace's room.
