"Charge to 300…..clear" Bailey yelled . There was no response on the heart monitor. " Charge to 350………clear" but still there was no response from Arizona's heart. Bailey was getting desperate now and she yelled " Charge to 400……clear". Suddenly Arizona's heart monitor came to life and Cristina and Bailey let out a huge sigh of relief " We've got a heartbeat" they yelled . They then ordered Nurse Tyler to page Dr. Hunt and Dr. Shepherd immediately. Callie seemed to have gone into a state of shock and was standing motionless in the corner.
"What the hell is going on here?" Chief Webber came barreling into the room, looking shocked. There was a moment where a look of fear came over his face, in which he seemed to realize who the patient was but he quickly tried to make his face impassive. "We have a member of the SGH staff in trauma, and I wasn't paged? What is going on here?" Bailey came rushing into the room, subtly trying to keep a distance between Webber, who looked like he was trying to look professional, and Callie, who was gazing at him dazedly. Why didn't anyone get a hold of me? Why---" Chief was sputtering. "Because she was brought in just a few minutes ago, Sir," Bailey said quietly. Richard turned, looking at her, then glanced down at Arizona, who was still bleeding and laying motionless. Richard averted his gaze immediately, looking stung. "What's her BP? Temp? Is there an exit wound, how is she doing?" "Sir, I'd love to finish this conversation with you, but we need to get her down to an OR and an MRI immediately, as soon as Dr. Hunt and Dr. Shepherd get here to---". "We are here. What have we got?" Derek and Owen came hurrying into the room and then froze. It was obvious Tyler had not mentioned the patient's name to them.
Arizona was rushed into surgery because it was critical to remove the bullets and stop the bleeding. Cristina , Meredith and Bailey were scrubbing in along with Hunt and Shepherd. Callie was sitting in the viewing gallery with tears rolling down her cheeks. She still couldn't believe what was happening. She looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Cristina and Callie had never seen so much emotion on Cristina's face as she asked " What can I do for you Cal?" . Callie looked her in the eye and whispered " Go in there and make sure she doesn't die". It was a long surgery and Callie couldn't bear to watch most of it . She was sitting there sobbing into Mark's shoulder whose heart was breaking for his best friend. Callie just kept whispering to herself " She cant die……she cant die" . Mark just kept on rubbing her back not knowing what to say that would soothe his best friend right now.
Once the surgery was over Callie rushed to Hunt " Owen , what happened. How is she?" Owen had a pained look on his face " We were able to remove the bullets and stop most of the bleeding but both the bullets were lodged in the heart and have caused serious heart muscle and tissue damage. She is still critical and we need a top notch cardiothoracic surgeon to perform surgery on her soon and you know that SGH does not have a head cardio at the moment so we need to fly in someone from another hospital. Shepherd is currently doing an MRI to assess her head injuries". At that Owen yanked his scrub cap and walked off. He had lost nineteen of his command in Iraq….he was used to death but yet the thought of anything happening to good people like Arizona and George was making him sick to the stomach. As Owen walked off Callie noticed Bailey sitting on the floor with tears rolling down her cheeks. Callie thought to herself " Even Bailey couldn't resist the kindness that is Arizona Robbins". Callie realized that though outwardly Bailey never showed any emotion towards the blonde peds surgeon , she actually did consider Arizona as a friend and her mentor.
In a moment of clarity and resolve Callie realized what she needed to do to help Arizona. She walked over to the Chief's office " Chief , I am sure you know that Arizona needs a good cardiac surgeon to repair the damage to her heart.". Webber nodded " Yes Dr. Torres , I am trying to reach Dr. Dixon". Callie continued " I am going to do anything to save her life and for that I need the number. Sir , you know whose number I am talking about so please just give it to me". " Dr. Torres I understand you are worried and scared but giving you the number is against hospital privacy rules and regulations" Webber tried to reason. Callie pleaded "Right now Arizona's life is more is more important to me than any rule or regulation". Seeing Callie's face Webber gave in and handed her a piece of paper on which he scribbled down a number. Callie just thanked him and left his office and walked to the nurses station.
Callie didn't know whether what she was doing was right or not but she couldn't trust Dixon with Arizona's surgery. She would do whatever was needed to save Arizona's life and for that she needed the best cardiac surgeon and so she picked up the phone and dialed the number that was written on the piece of paper. It was ringing and when someone picked up Callie said " Can I talk to Dr. Erica Hahn please"
