Lexie

Previously:

The room was silent for a long time. Cristina was finally the one to speak up.

"Well how did this damn fire start in the first place?"

Suddenly Lexie gasped in a breath and her eyes went wide, her body rigid. "I forgot to tell you guys! I know how the fire starts."

The room was silent for a long time. Cristina was finally the one to speak up.

"Well how did this damn fire start in the first place?"

Suddenly Lexie gasped in a breath and her eyes went wide, her body rigid. "I forgot to tell you guys! I know how the fire starts."

"What?" everybody gasped.

Lexie shrank away. "Well I... in my vision... Derek was carrying me and running... I was breathing so heavily... it was the before I realized it was even Derek... I mean I thought it was Mark because I didn't know that he was dead yet... of course..."

"Lexie!" Alex cut her off. "You're babbling!"

"Just tell us what happened," Meredith said calmly.

Lexie took a deep breath. "I thought I was talking to Mark. I said something about a patient burning themselves to death. I have a suicide patient and all he wants to do is die. Is room is probably directly over the gasline in the basement. It could set off an explosion and-

"Set the whole hospital on fire," Izzie whispered.

Lexie nodded.

"Which means..." Cristina trailed off, shaking her head.

"He could..." Alex trailed off as well, his eyes going wide.

"He could be starting the fire right now!" Lexie gasped. She jumped up. "I've got to stop him! Mark could be in the basement right now!"

"I have ot find Derek!" Meredith gasped out.

"Owen!" Cristina yelled.

"Will you all shut up!" Alex cut in. "It won't happen yet! My patient, Haley hasn't even been diagnosed yet. In my vision she had already lost all of her hair to chemo," Izzie cringed when he said that, remembering losing her hair. "And she could barely walk," Alex finished.

Everyone exchanged looks and then let out a sigh of relief. "It may not be too late to stop him," Lexie said, a smile apearing on her face. "Well I'm gonna go to the hospital and go stop him before he can get enar any lighters or anything."

"I'm gonna go find Derek," Meredith said.

"I'm staying here," Cristina announced. "And you two," she said, pointing at Alex and Izzie, "Are leaving!"

Alex looked at Izzie and smiled. "So how about that drink?" Izzie asked. "Is that offer still up?"

Izzie

Joe placed a drink down in front of Alex and then placed Izzie down in front of her. He did a double take when he saw her. "Izzie Stevens? Wow! It's been a while. How are you."

"Hi Joe," Izzie laughed. "It's good to see you again. I'm fine thanks. How are you?"

"Same old, same old," Joe chuckled. "So what brings you back here?"

Izzie and Alex exchanged glances. "Just visiting," Izzie lied.

Joe smiled. "Well I have to get back to work." He walked away.

Alex turned to Izzie. "I really have missed you," he said.

"I missed you too," Izzie agreed, running her finger around the rim of the drink. "I wanted to come and visit but... you sort of wouldn't let me."

"I know," Alex sighed. "Sorry."

Izzie shrugged. She picked up her glass and took a sip of her drink. She made a face and Alex chuckled.

Izzie scrunched her nose. "Wow that's strong!"

Alex laughed. "Baby," he teased.

Izzie stuck out her tongue. "Here. You try it. It's really strong."

She passed the drink to Alex and he took a sip of it. He made a face as well but shrugged. "It's a little strong."

"A little?" Izzie scoffed. "You think you're so strong."

"I practically raised myself and I've been shot." Alex crossed his arms and Izzie narrowed her eyes.

"So now you are bragging about getting shot?"

"I may be."

Izzie rolled her eyes and hit his arm playfully. "Go ahead and brag but don't be expecting to get shot ever again!"

"Don't worry Iz. I won't be."

Izzie watched hislips move as he talked, but quickly snapped out of it.

"So you're working as a doctor again?" Alex asked.

Izzie nodded. "Yeah. But it's not the same. I have no one to really talk to. I didn't really want new friends."

Alex couldn't help but smile at this. "So do you have a boyfriend?"

Izzie looked down. "No."

"Have you been dating at all?"

"Not really," Izzie said. "I mean, I've been asked, but I didn't want to."

"How come?"

Izzie looked up at Alex and shrugged. "I didn't feel like it," she lied.

She slowly looked back up at Alex and he saw in her eyes what she meant. "I was calling for you," Alex said.

"W-what?" Izzie stuttered.

"When I was shot, I was delerious. I was calling out for you. I thought Lexie was you. She pretended to be you. I thought you had come back," he blurted out.

"Alex I-

"Where were you? I was calling out for you and you weren't there."

"You told me not to come," Izzie insisted.

"I was trying to be tough! You know me! I'm an idiot!" Alex exclaimed.

"No! I'm the idot! I blamed you for me getting fired! That wasn't right!" Izzie said, shaking her head furiously.

"I still love you," Alex blurted out, but was surprised when he didn't regret it.

"I still love you too," Izzie whispered, her eyes wide with surprise.

Alex quickly snapped out of it and looked back at his drink. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I must have had a few too many drinks," Alex chuckled, holding up the vodka he was drinking.

Izzie rolled her eyes. "You had a sip Alex."

"And a sip of your drink, and like you said, that stuff is strong. You know, maybe I should go."

Alex began to stand up but Izzie quickly reached up and grabbed his arm, standing up and pulling him down so they were eye level. She grabbed his face between her hands and moved her lips to his.

Meredith

Meredith walked into Derek's office wherer he was sitting with his paper work. He looked up when he heard her come in and a smile brushed his lips.

"Hey Mer. Where have you been all day?" Derek asked.

"Hanging out with Cristina," Meredith said. "I wanted to keep an eye on her, you know, just in case anything went wrong."

"Oh, you mean in case she forgot to drink again?" Derek chuckled.

"It's not funny!" Meredith laughed, slapping Derek across the arm.

"Ow! This is my writing arm! Now I may not be able to finish all this paper work! You might have to do it for me."

Meredith laughed loudly. "Nice try Derek Shepherd! It's not working!"

Derek grabbed Meredith's arm and pulled her into his lap. "Well you may have to stay here with me until I'm done!" Derek said, locking his arms around Meredith's waist.

Meredith squirmed and teried to get up but he wouldn't let her go. Meredith moved her hips around and Derek gasped, letting go of her.

Meredith spun around to look at him, cracking up. "Ha ha! See! Now you are stuck with paperwork and you're horny!"

"Well one of those problems can be solved," Derek chuckled, picking up the papers from his desk and placing them on the ground. Meredith laughed and shook her head. "I don't get payed enough for this job, Cheif Shepherd," Meredith laughed, rolling her eyes.

Derek ignored her and pushed her down onto the desk.

Alex

Izzie and Alex stumbled into Meredith's house, held in each other's arms. Alex swung Izzie up into his arms and she gasped and started laughing. He carried her up the stairs and into his room. Izzie was laughing the whole time. He dropped her on the bed and Izzie was laughing the whole time. Alex smirked and pulled his shirt off and Izzie froze and her eyes locked on his ribs, her smile fading. Alex followed her gaze and sighed.

"Iz-

Izzie shook her head. she sat up to get closer to him. Her fingers ran over the pink scar and tears came to her eyes. "I can't believe I never came to see you," she whispered.

Alex shook his head and leaned down to kiss her again. "It's okay," he whispered.

Suddenly his phone started ringing and Izzie clung to him while he answered it. It wasn't George... but it wasn't good.

Lexie

Lexie walked to her patient's room but stopped when she realized that the door was shut. Her eyes went wide and she reached for the doorknob but it was stuck.

It was locked.

Lexie began tugging on the door and knocking as hard as she possibly could. "Jeffry!" she cried. "Open up!"
