Chapter 13 – Why I Care

Bailey was away on Maternity Leave so Izzie, Alex, Cristina, and Meredith were waiting at a nurses station wondering who was going to be there replacement resident.

They all jumped when a loud voice yelled, "Yang!"

A young female doctor with a huge cheesy grin on her face came down the stairs, "Stevens, Grey, O'Malley, Karev!"

She bounded her way over to them, "Here you are! I was looking for you guys in the locker room but you weren't there and then I thought well maybe my interns are looking for me too and then I come out her and here you are." She laughed, "Yeah."

The interns stared at her, Cristina was horrified, "You guys look like a great group; which is awesome! Because my horoscope said it's going to be a very challenging day and I was a little worried but no you guys, " She grinned, "...yeah, you look like a good group. Which is great! Because we're going to have so much fun! Hi!" She held out her arms and hugged Cristina, "Hi, First of all hi! Hi."

Cristina tensed, "Ow, ow, ow."

The doctor let go looking worried, "Ooh, sorry, am I hurting you?"

"Ah, no you're, you're touching me."

"I'm Sydney Heron." Sydney said after a second, "4th Year and my philosophy just so you know," she became a bit serious, "is um is heal with love." Alex and Izzie raised their eyebrows and Sydney became cheery again, "Ok, so wonderful. So, Alex, Izzie, Meredith, Cristina and our little group is just missing-"

"O'Malley. Yeah he's cowering behind the strike line like a little girl."

The nurses had gone on strike and George refused to walk passed them into the hospital.

"Standing up for what he believes in, that's my kind of little girl. Right? So ... The E.R needs somebody down there for a consult, does anybody ... who wants to ..."

"We get to pick?" Asked Meredith,

"Oh me, I'll, I'm on it." Cristina said hurriedly,

"I'll help." Said Alex, and they both rushed off,

"I have patients I need to check on." Meredith said, walking in the opposite direction,

This left Izzie by herself with Sydney, "So it looks like it's just you and me, Izzie McGee."

Izzie gave an awkward forced chuckle, "Right, right, it's ah, It's ah Stevens. It's Izzie Stevens."

"Oh, no I knew. I was just rhyming." Sydney explained,

"Oh, rhyming right, yeah. That's, that's neat..."

Addison walked over holding a chart.

"Dr. Stevens."

"Yeah?" Izzie answered eagerly,

"I could use you on a consult."

"Ok, I'm on it. Absolutely." She accepted the chart from Addison and walked away with her.

Later on in the morning Meredith was walking through the hospital when she bumped into Derek,

"Hey." Grinned Derek,

"Hey."

"Your dog's fine."

"He's your dog now." said Meredith, "I miss him."

Derek nodded and Addison walked over, "I miss him too."

"You should come visit." Derek offered, Meredith and Addison frowned slightly, "The dog I mean."

"I'm walking away now." Meredith said with a small smile, she walked passed them and Addison looked over at Derek,

"So I'm looking for a neurosurgeon to consult on a foetal spinal tumour." She told him, "You know anybody good?"

The rest of the day passed unpleasantly. Alex was sucking up to Sydney putting Cristina in the bad books and Meredith intubated a woman who turned out to be DNR. Izzie's consult with Addison turned out to be a pregnant teenage girl from her home town, which brought up old memories.

However George was having a good day. He had refused to cross the picket line so instead he joined the nurses outside in their strike, occasionally going into the hospital to check on their patients because they couldn't.

"She called me unkind." Cristina complained to Meredith, Izzie and Joe at the bar, "Unkind and lacking in compassion. In front of my boyfriend! I am not unkind."

"I think I have to kill a woman tomorrow." Meredith said, "I have to take out the tube that's keeping her alive."

They turned to Izzie; Cristina threw a peanut at her, "Izzie."

"This is the part where you say what's wrong with you." Joe said,

Izzie said nothing; instead she stood up and grabbed her bag and coat,

"Where are you going?" Asked Meredith,

"I have to go, I forgot something at work." Izzie left and Meredith turned back to the bar,

"I have to kill a woman tomorrow." She said,

"And that's a problem, why?" Asked Cristina, "I mean if it's what she wants, it's what she wants! And that is not unkind or lacking in compassion. I'm a very compassionate person!"

Addison walked to the bar and sat down in Izzie's old seat, next to Meredith, "What are we talking about?"

Meredith turned to her, "I have to kill a woman tomorrow."

"Hey!" Cristina lent on the bar to get a better look at Addison, "Doctor Montgomery, do you think I'm unkind or lacking in compassionate?"

Addison thought, "Well, I wouldn't say so. But…"

"But?"

"You're very blunt."

They were interrupted a nurse walking by and deliberately pouring her drink into Cristina's lap, "Whoopsie."

"Are you kidding me?" Exclaimed Cristina, "I will kill you, you know that?"

"Bring it on!" Said the nurse,

"Oh, she, oh Bring it on! Okay Mama. Let's bring it on! Oh look at her spry! What you wanna cheer it out soccer mom?"

"Oh soccer mom!" They both started to yell at each other and Joe walked over to the, holding each of their shoulders just in case,

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Beat each other up and there's not gonna be anybody left to set your broken bones." They continued to yell, "Hey!"

Meredith walked to Cristina and took her arm and walked away, "We were just leaving."

"Yeah because I gotta go save lives!" Cristina snapped over her shoulder,

"Bye!" Said the nurse,

George pushed through the nurses, "Excuse me, they're my ride. Excuse me."

"Don't worry George." Addison said, "Stay, I'll drive you home." George nodded awkwardly, "Uhh, thanks, Doctor Montgomery."

"George we're roommates, outside the hospital you can call me Addison."

He nodded, "Addison, yeah. Ok." He gave an awkward smile and returned to the nurses.

Joe stepped back behind the bar, "What can I get ya?"

"Can I just have a coke? I need to stop drinking."

Joe nodded and got the drink, "Here you go."

Addison gave a short thank you smile and sipped her drink,

"Penny for your thoughts?" Asked Joe,

Addison looked up, "Oh. …It's nothing."

A few days had passed and Izzie woke early this morning. She got up, showered and dressed, then headed downstairs where she started to prepare her breakfast; coffee, toast, and a muffin.

Izzie took a deep mouthful of her coffee and made her way to the door to get the day's paper. Once back in the kitchen she sat down and started to read.

SEATTLE RAPIST CAUGHT AT LAST

Many of us remember the serial rapes of six young women that occurred between early 1996 to late 1997. The Seattle Rapist, Frank Lennings (now 51) vanished off the radar after possible sketches reached the news nearly eight years ago, but has now turned himself in to Police. (Continues Pg 3)

Izzie shrugged and found page three, the article took up the whole page.

Lennings claims he never meant to hurt these six women (who ranged from 18 to 31) but he has seen the ill of his ways and he's ready to face the consequences. Police say that Lennings was shocked and horrified to find out one of he's six victims ended up pregnant.

Izzie winced and Addison walked into the kitchen, "Good Morning."

"Hey." Izzie glanced up and smiled at her. She turned back to the paper and saw six pictures; the victims.

She scanned over them but frowned at the third one. The women looked familiar. Under neath was a caption.

Raped November 24th 1996, Eighteen, Meredith Grey.

Izzie's eyes snapped to the picture and she saw, horrified, the photo was Meredith's 18th birthday. Izzie couldn't speak. She could only stare at the photo.

That was until another named jumped out at her.

Raped November 10th 1996, Twenty-Six, Addison Forbes Montgomery.
