Thanks for all the support I love that you guys are actually interested. I'm still sorting out some kinks so bare with me about any mistakes! Anyways here's chapter 2 hope you like it!
Miranda Bailey prided herself for being a level-headed women, able to think rationally when most panic. It was a trait that you needed in order to be an exceptional surgeon and an even better chief. But all sense of rational thought disappeared when Callie told her about the incident. For the last twenty minutes, she had tried repeatedly to call Ben. Her heart sinking every time it went to voice mail, her brain assuming the worst. It wasn't until she'd nearly given up that her phone rang.
"Miranda." Bailey let out the breath she'd been holding in at the sound of her husband's voice.
"Benjamin Warren, you …you nearly…" her voice quivered, unable to speak.
"Miranda, I'm okay, I'm fine, we weren't at the hotel when it started" the voice at the other end reassured her.
It wasn't until she was finally able to breathe free that Dr. Bailey remembered she was more than just a wife in the situation. "What about everyone else? Is everyone else okay?" she inquired as the chief of surgery. But this time the voice at the other end didn't respond. Bailey asked again
"Ben Warren is everyone else okay?" she asked again her voice rising.
"Miranda, is Karev there?"
"Why, what happened, Ben, what happened?" Bailey could hear her husband let out a deep sigh"
"Nobody's seen or heard from Jo since the attack. They think she's still inside."
Bailey walked out of her office, her phone shaking in her hand. Callie who had been waiting outside, rushed over.
"What happened? Is everyone okay?"
"I need to see your wife."
Alex never had a certain way he liked to run his OR, but he'd always liked the stillness of a quiet OR. Outside of the operating room, the world keeps moving on, but inside, inside the OR, it was just him, his patient, and surgery. The OR was his escape. An umbilical hernia repair was no major groundbreaking procedure and yet Alex could not have been more thankful for it. For the next hour he was completely free from half-brained residents, nosey coworkers, and missing fiancés.
Unfortunately for Alex, his peace was only short-lived, when Arizona Robbins walked into his OR
"Alex…" she started
"What do you want Robbins? I'm a little busy here." He snapped without looking up from his patient.
"Alex I-I'm going to tag you out of surgery now" She told him, her voice shaking.
Alex finally looked up,
"Robbins, we've been over this, my patient, my peds floor, my OR." He rolled his eyes before looking back down at his patient.
"Dr. Karev, I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the patient" Bailey ordered coming up behind Arizona. Her voice was assertive but still low.
Alex was annoyed, this was his department, and he didn't need Arizona checking his work every 20 minutes. But he didn't have the energy nor desire to argue with Bailey right now, so he handed over his patient to Arizona before leaving to scrub out. Bailey followed him out of the OR, her face emotionless.
"Dr. Karev, see me in my office after you scrub out"
Alex, now wholly confused, just nodded as the chief of surgery walked away. He looked up at Arizona who had picked up where he'd left off and tried to read her face. Arizona must have felt his gaze because she looked over for a second, her eyes low unable to meet his, before looking back at the open patient.
He'd finished scrubbing and walked through the automatic doors, towards Bailey's office. As he walked he could feel people staring. Was he getting fired? Alex tried to go through everything he'd done that month, anything that would warrant a firing, and unless snapping at a resident counted he couldn't think of anything.
When he got to Bailey's office, he knocked before unceremoniously walking in.
"Bailey, you honestly can't be firing me for yelling at a resident. You used to yell at us all-"
"Alex-" she cut him off. Alex's eyes widened with confusion, Bailey never called him by his first name unless things were about to go horribly wrong.
"Maybe you should sit down" she continued gesturing to the chair. Alex shook his head.
Bailey took a deep breath before starting again, "There was an incident. At the Presdio Presidential Suites Hotel. Where the-"
"Boards were happening, yeah I know. What the hell happened?" Alex interjected, his voice rising with fear."
"Someone opened fire in the hotel" she told him bluntly her voice and face void of emotion but her eyes told a different story.
Alex looked at up at Bailey, the women that had been more of a mother to him than his own mother, unable to comprehend what she was saying. Dread consumed him as he asked his next question.
"Jo. Is she okay?" he demanded, his voice uncharacteristically low not sure if he could handle what was going to come out of Bailey's mouth next.
Bailey tried to form words, she opened her mouth and nothing came out.
"DR. BAILEY, WHERE THE HELL IS JO?" his voice thick with fear and anger
"I don't know, nobody's heard or seen her since this morning. I'm sorry I don't know" she answered her own normally firm voice dripping with uncertainty.
Alex's brain was spinning, his knees gave out before collapsing on the chair that he was told to sit down on just five minutes ago. His thoughts racing a mile a minute, but they all came down to one question
Where was Jo?
And that's chapter 2! I hope you liked it! So where is Jo?
