CHAPTER FIVE

"What the hell is Mark Sloan doing here?" an angry Derek asked Savvy when she arrived with her husband Weiss in tow. "I leave a few hours and come back to find that asshole sitting beside my wife. What were you thinking, Savvy?"

"Derek, calm down. Mark found out about the accident and flew in with me" Weiss said, answering for his wife. "He's still our friend, Derek and we're all here for Addie."

"He is not my friend. Nor Addison's." Derek vehemently said.

"Please, Derek, now is not the time. We're all here concerned for Addie and just want to make sure she's fine and taken care of. If it makes you feel any better, we won't leave him alone with Addison" offered Savvy.

"Oh, he won't be getting near Addison anytime soon. I'll request security to ensure that."

"Derek, don't be ridiculous" Savvy protested.

"Savvy, the guy just threatened me that he will take Addison with him back to New York."

"So? As if he could do that. And I don't think Addison would even consider that. He already tried a few weeks ago and Addie sent him back. Why do you think now would be any different?" a slightly exasperated Savvy said.

"Savvy's right, Derek. You and Addie are doing fine. Mark is just being an ass. Addison will just tell him off" Weiss added.

Derek just remained silent, hiding his fear and guilt. He avoided meeting his friends' eyes.

Mark Sloan hated Seattle. He was just outside getting some fresh air and enjoying a cup of bone dry cappuccino when suddenly the weather turned from sunny to a torrential downpour in a matter of minutes. He rushed back to the hospital with his half empty cup and was in search for a towel or a scrub set to borrow. He was trying to wipe the rain off his jacket when the conversation between the two nurses walking in front of him caught his attention.

"Can you believe him? Keeping vigil by her side when just two nights ago he was with his intern."

"Is that even true? The rendezvous with his intern, I mean."

"During prom? Oh, yeah it is. A lot of people saw him chase her towards an exam room. Jessica was just a few feet away when Dr. Torres, the ortho doc, barged into that exam room. She then said a few seconds later the intern stepped out of the room disheveled and Dr. Torres fixing her dress for her. A moment after that McDreamy got out of the room, adjusting his clothes and looking flushed. He then returned to the party where the wife was hanging out with the date while she went to Duquette's room with her friends."

"And now he's playing the loyal husband? The nerve!"

"I know! And get this, his wife knows!"

"What?! About the sex?"

"Yes! Dave saw them fighting at the parking lot."

"And then she gets in an accident! Oh my God! This drama keeps on getting juicier and juicier."

"I Know. And I'm sure things will even get nastier when the She-Shepherd wakes up."

Mark stopped dead cold in his tracks, numb to the dripping hot coffee in his hands when he unconsciously crushed the cup. He was going to kill Derek Shepherd.

Derek needed to return to Addison's room. There had been a mass casualty accident and the hospital needed every available doctor. He was paged for an emergency craniotonomy that he couldn't pass off. The surgery lasted for almost 3 hours and he was getting anxious to return to his wife's side. Derek needed every moment to be there especially now that Mark is in Seattle Grace. Call him paranoid but Derek wasn't taking any risks.

Sure enough, when he arrived, there was Mark with Savvy and Weiss.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcomed here. Get out" Derek said, getting into Mark's face. Weiss stepped forward just in case a fight breaks out.

"Not welcomed here? Maybe you should take that recommendation yourself, Derek. I'm sure Addison would agree with me."

"What are you talking about?" asked a bewildered Derek.

"Oh don't play innocent here" said Mark with fire in his eyes. Both men stood there glaring at each other when suddenly realization came over Derek's eyes.

"Yeah, I know" Mark hissed.

"Guys, what's going on?" asked Savvy.

"I'm taking her back. It's over."

"Leave us alone, Mark. Have some respect for our marriage."

Mark let out a bark of laugher. "Oh, that's rich coming from you."

"Hey! What's going on here? Mark, stop saying you're taking Addie back to New York. Derek and Addison are doing fine. Stop trying to win her back" Savvy ordered.

"I don't even have to try and win her back, Savvy. Addison will be coming back to New York with us." Mark said confidently, throwing a smug smile to Derek.

"What? Somebody better start telling me what the hell is going on."

Mark glanced briefly to where Savvy was before returning to his glaring match with Derek. "So, how about it, Derek? Should I tell Savvy and Weiss or would you do the honors? Afterall, it's your story to tell."
