Chapter 15 - I Lost Everything
Mindy groaned. Her head hurt, her ears rang and she couldn't remember why.
She had been with her friend, with Kelly and Kelly's four year old sister Nicole. They were… Kelly's mum was driving them to the Space Needle; they were new in town and had never seen in before.
They had driven onto the ferry and Nicole was trying to get Kelly to participate in a game of I Spy with My Little Eye, then… Mindy struggled to remember. A crash or something, everything shook, there was an explosion of sound and the pain in her ears was horrible, it was blurry, everything was moving, the car jolted forwards and Mindy hit her head on the seat in front and blacked out.
Addison sat with Meredith in the intern locker room trying to have a cryptic conversation about their engagement to be engaged.
"I just don't see why we have to do something so trivial, why can't we just skip that step, go straight to the next one." Meredith shrugged,
"Mere, please, why can't we, I'm sure they won't mind, I mean I know them, or at least some of them, and the women at least, are like you, they don't care about it. And boys are boys, the don't particularly care either."
"What are you talking about?" Cristina asked,
"Don't bother," Izzie sighed, "They've been having this… what ever it is all morning."
"These boys care." Meredith told Addie, both of them ignoring the other interns,
"It's just a little thing, why can't we?"
"If it's such a little thing, why does it even matter?"
"Because I want to, Baby, I really want this." Addison pleaded,
"And I do too, but not now. I want it later."
Addie's pager went off and she sighed, "We'll finish this later." She said, standing up and kissing Meredith tenderly, "I love you."
Meredith grinned stupidly against Addison's intoxicating lips, "I love you too Adds," They kissed once more and Addison left,
Mindy sat up, the roof of the car was crushed, she could just barely sit straight. Kelly was in the front passenger seat now, holding Nicole who was sobbing, they both were. Mindy looked and saw Mrs Lambert slumped against the steering wheel, the window next to her was smashed and it appeared she'd hit it before falling to the wheel. There was blood. A lot of it.
Gingerly Mindy undid her seat belt and crawled forward; pressing two fingers to Mrs Lambert's neck like Meredith had once taught her. There was no heart beat. Tears of horror filled her eyes and she looked around wildly trying to work out what to do. She crawled back to her seat and tried the door, it wouldn't open.
"We need to get out," She whimpered, struggling to think clearly through the throbbing pain in her head, "Window," She quickly opened the window and stuck her head out, all around her were cars, some piled onto others, like the car that had been behind them but was now more on top of them. The ground looked glass free she noticed, so Mindy climbed out of the window and jumped down. She moved forward and sighed in relief when the front passenger side's door opened.
"Kelly," She said, "We need to find a grown up. We need to get a police man or a doctor."
"We can't leave," cried Kelly, "We can't."
"We have to stay together," Mindy reasoned, "We need to get help."
Kelly sniffed, "Okay." She wrapped her arms around Nicole and stepped out of the car,
"Mummy!" cried Nicole, she was screaming, "Mummy!"
Mindy looked at the little girl, "Nicky," She said, "Do you want a piggy-back?"
Nicole didn't answer, she just cried. Kelly put her on her feet then bent down next to her. Mindy helped her climb onto her sister's back and Kelly stood.
"Where do we go?" She asked,
Mindy looked around, "This way," She said, pointing the direction the car was facing, and she started to walk.
They walked together, climbing over cars and passed people. They saw a man trapped under a car, and his friends tried to get them to stay but Mindy refused. The sight of that man was horrible. Nicole quietened and they let her walk by herself as she was a bit heavy for them, Kelly held her hand tight though.
There was blood everywhere it seemed, and when finally they got to the dock they saw so much chaos.
People were everywhere, crying and helping. Sirens and weeps and yells. Kelly took Nicole in a piggy back again, getting her to wrap her arms and legs around her completely so her hands were free. She took tight grasp of Mindy's and they walked on.
They walked, not knowing where to. They saw a woman looking around panicked and over heard her speaking.
"A child? You found a dead child? Boy or girl?"
Mindy shivered but the next voice she knew, "Ma'am, you're injured, you need to lie down." That was… That was one of her mum's friends, a doctor, "Get a stretcher, now!" He yelled,
"Hey!" Called Mindy, "Doctor!"
She ran forward pulling Kelly and Nicole with her, the man didn't notice, he was focused on the woman, "Is the child a boy or girl?" She said, "I can't find my son. We got separated. I need to know if my little boy is alive."
"She was a girl. The child was a little girl." The woman made to leave, "No, no, no, no, no. I need to examine you. I'm gonna have to take you to the hospital."
"No, I can't leave. He's only seven. No! And... and he's all alone. No, I will not leave my son behind." Cried the woman, Mindy was right next to them now, with Kelly and Nicole next to her,
"I will find him. Listen to me, I will find him. If you let me take you to triage, I promise you, I will find your son."
"He's so scared."
"I know. I know. I will find him." He took a photo from her hand,
"Ok." She nodded,
"Ok."
"Mister," Said Mindy, gaining his attention, "George."
He looked down, "Are you lost?"
"My mummies, you work with my mummies. Meredith Grey and Addison Montgomery."
He looked at her, "Mindy? Oh God, what are you doing here, are your dad's ok?"
"I was with Kelly." Mindy said, "You have to take me to my mummy."
George looked at Kelly, "Where're your parents Kelly?"
"Mum… I think she's dead." Kelly said,
"She had no heart beat." Mindy added, "I checked."
George looked at them sadly, "Okay you need to come with me, okay? You all do." A paramedic with a stretcher moved to them and helped George settle the woman on it before leading it and the three girls to an ambulance.
Kelly and Nicole got in the front with the driver but Mindy had to sit in the back with George and the woman. She told him what she remembered and answered his questions as he held her hand, "It'll be okay Mindy."
They arrived at Seattle Grace and as George and the driver unloaded the stretcher George told Bailey the details.
"Carly Height, 45 year old female found at the scene. Open abdominal wound with a mental evisceration." He said, "Mindy Joseph-Grey, 9 year old female found at the scene. Minor head injury. Kelly Lambert, 8 year old female found at the scene. And Nicole Lambert, 4 year old female found at the scene."
"Mindy Joseph-Grey?" Bailey asked as they moved, George holding Nicole in one arm and Kelly's hand in the other,
"Meredith's daughter." He said,
"Okay, let's get going. O'Malley page Montgomery, she needs to contact these girls parents. Mrs Height, we need to get you into surgery." She moved and George walked too, "And O'Malley, check to see exactly how minor Mindy Grey's head injury is." He nodded
Addison's pager went off; she glanced at it and froze, before running through the hospital to the clinic. She saw Mindy on a bed with Kelly in a chair next to her, Nicole asleep in her lap.
"Oh God Mindy," She cried,
"Mummy!" Addison hugged her daughter tightly,
"Are you ok baby? God." She felt tears prick her eyes,
"She's gonna be ok." Arizona said, "I've checked her extensively, and I've called her fathers and Mr. Lambert. They're on their way."
Addison cried, "Oh God, thank you Arizona," She hugged the blonde then moved back to Mindy's bed, "Do you need anything sweetie?"
"Dr. Heron has some Orange juice," Arizona said softly, "Wheat crackers."
Mindy sniffed and shook her head, "I want…" She started to cry and Addison climbed into the bed, pulling Mindy into her arms, soothing her.
"Dr. Robbins, could you page me when my Jane Doe is back from CT?"
"Of course."
Meredith struggled with a patient, trying to get him to keep still. He shivered and cried out in pain, the little blonde girl who had been following Mere just looked on as Meredith spoke to herself, then to the girl,
"…Ok. We saved him. You helped. We just have to bandage him up and find someone to take him to the hospital and then we're gonna find your mum, ok?" The girl nodded and Meredith removed her jacket, covering the shivering man with it,
"Oh, I can't stand the pain. I gotta get out of here." He cried,
"Sir, don't move. Don't move." But he did, he tried to pull himself up and pushed against Meredith. She fell back, over the edge of the dock and hit the freezing water hard.
The little girl turned around and walked away without a word.
that's crazy stuff right there.
