Hi guys! Thanks for all the love!- So I had a lots of time on my hands this weekend and was able to finish chapter 3. Again pardon any mistakes and thanks for reading!

Jo Wilson was annoyed. When the alarms had originally gone off she'd assumed it was a regularly scheduled drill and would be over in a couple of minutes. But now nearly an hour later, Jo was at wits end. And the guy in her room was not making it any easier.

He'd knocked on her door when the alarms when off, asking if he could ride out the drill in her room because his room was five floors up and the elevators weren't working. Jo wasn't completely heartless and didn't want to make the guy walk five fleets of stairs, so she opened the door and let him in. But she'd almost instantly begun to regret her decision.

Apparently his name was Josh, he was a trauma surgeon, 36 years old, originally from Chicago, but moved to Dallas for his residency at Baylor Medical Center. He owned a dog named Harper who was spending the weekend at a dog sitter's. Oh and he liked to talk when he was nervous.

"Hey-y" Jo rolled her eyes, here he goes again. "I-I was wondering when this whole thing blows over, if you wanted to m-maybe get a drink maybe. W-with me?"

Jo looked up at him, her eyebrows raised. She put up her left hand, and finally spoke to him,

"Engaged"

"Oh" Josh blushed, visibly embarrassed. Jo tried to feel bad but honestly she was just glad he'd decided to finally shut up.

Alex stared at the white walls of Bailey's office. His face was completely emotionless. He didn't know how to react. Was he supposed to be angry? Or cry? Or be worried? Because right now all he felt was useless. Alex Karev was not a man who liked to feel useless, it's why he basically raised his two siblings when both of his parents couldn't, and why he became a doctor- to help people who couldn't help themselves. But right now all Alex felt was uselessness. He couldn't go to San Francisco and get Jo back himself or turn back time back to when Jo was still home and tell her to avoid guys with guns. There was nothing Alex could do to help Jo.

And it was killing him.

Isaac Cross was on Dr. Robbins' service today, so when he was paged into an OR with a 10 year old boy on the table instead of a very pregnant woman, he was understandably confused.

"Umm Dr. Robbins?" Cross asked not sure what to do.

"Cross. Oh good. Okay I need you to go to room 524 and prep the girl for a laparotomy. And then push the rest of Dr. Karev's non-emergent surgeries. And tell the nurses to forward all peds pages to me. Can you do that for me Cross?" Arizona ordered, not even looking up from the patient.

"Wait. Why are we taking Dr. Karev's patients?" Cross asked still not comprehending.

"Dr Cross, I asked you a yes or no question. Can you or can you not do what your superior is asking you to do" Arizona demanded, her voice more authoritative than even she'd ever heard it herself.

"I umm I'm sorry Dr Robbins. Yeah okay I'll go do that" he stumbled, startled by Dr Robbins' tone, before rushing out of the OR and up to the Peds floor.

"520, 521, 522, 523, 524" Cross counted, trying to find the room. He knocked before walking in, pulling up her chart as he walked in.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Cross, I'm going t-"

He looked up and realized instead of the 7 year old girl he'd expected to find, the room was completely empty.

He was in the right room, but he's patient was missing. Confused he stopped a nurse who had passed by.

"Where is the patient from 524?"

"OR 4, Dr Karev took her up 20 minutes ago" the nurse replied before walking away

Cross was confused, "But, Dr Karev isn't taking any patients right now." he called out to her retreating form.

Arizona Robbins stormed into OR 4 and yelled,

"ALEX!"

Alex looked up from his patient,

"Oh hey Dr Robbins" he answered calmly

"Alex! You're not even supposed to be working right now, let preforming emergency exploratory surgery" Arizona reprimanded.

"I'm fine Robbins" Alex reassured, looking back down at the open patient. "I'm serious. You don't need to be here, I'm fine"

Arizona ignored him and went to go scrub.

After scrubbing, Arizona came back,

"Alex hand over the patient" she ordered softly.

Alex took a deep breath,

"I can't. I can't just hand over this patient, because outside this OR I can't do anything. I can't help Jo, I don't even know what's wrong with her. Outside of this OR I'm completely useless. But inside this OR, I can do something, inside this OR I'm not useless. I can't do anything to help Jo, but I can save this kid. This I can do. So please let me do this" he pleaded, his voice laced with desperation and anger.

Arizona sighed her eyes watering with sympathy. She blinked back the tears.

"Okay. But you need an assist." she bargained stepping over to the open patient.

It had been two hours since the alarms had originally gone off, and Jo was starting to get antsy. Josh, meanwhile, had completely lost it. He was pacing the perimeter of the room, mumbling about zombies. Jo tried to reach into the pocket of her purse to find her phone only to find that it wasn't there. She must have left it in Steph's room last night. She was about to ask Josh for his phone she heard a low pitched boom.

"Did you hear that?" she asked Josh trying to figure out what she'd just heard.

"Hear what?"

Jo shook her head, trying to figure out what it was.

"This is ridiculous!" Josh erupted walking over to the door, "I'm leaving, I can't stay here anymore" he angrily opened the door

Jo's eyes widened as the gears in her head finally clicked.

"No Josh! Stop!" She yelled, but it was too late. She heard the same low pitched boom from before.

Josh's body crumpled to the floor. Blood pooling out of a wound on the side of his head.

A wound left by a bullet.

That's chapter 3! Let me know what you thought. Also I'm the only person who is in no way excited for 12x09? I'm tired of Meredith always almost dying. DO SOMETHING ELSE GREY'S ANATOMY!
