Chapter 13 :
"Ok Kepner, what do we got?" Callie asked entering the trauma room.
"James Turner, 32, was hit by a bull after falling from it. He has several broken ribs, hips dislocation and a broken femur."
"Book an OR, we need to set his hips back and reduce those fractures ASAP, but first go take some scans!" she said examining the patient. "What was he even doing on a bull?"
"Bull riding" April said and shrugs when she saw the look on Callie's face.
"Okay, page me when you have an OR ready and also those scans." Callie said taking off her gloves and leaving the trauma room.
Her shift barely started and she already has traumas coming in, one after the other. It had been two months since she last saw her father and things were pretty good, today was 3 months of Arizona and her being together. The blonde told her that she had a surprise for her this evening. She couldn't wait to know what it was.
A couple of hours later, Callie was looking at the patients scans with April who was rambling on about how bull riding was dangerous and why people were stupid for doing it
"Kepner?"
"Yes, Doctor Torres?" she said in her extra perky voice.
"I need you to speak differently" Callie said rubbing her temples.
"I'm sorry?" April asked looking at her confused.
"Your voice, it's too… I need you to speak differently"
"Like with an accent or-"
"Never mind, how about you go get me a muffin and some coffee" she said and April ran away to go get it.
A few minutes later, April was back with the coffee and muffin, but as soon as Callie smelled the aroma of caffeine, she ran to the nearest bathroom to throw up her breakfast. April stood there stunned wondering what happened.
When Callie came back from the bathroom, April was still holding the coffee and muffin, not knowing what to do with them.
"I think I'll pass on them, you can keep them Kepner" Callie said.
"Are you ok Doctor Torres?" April asked genuinely concerned.
"I'm fine, just feeling a little sick this morning," she said brushing April off "Come on we have surgery" with that she left the room and went to the OR.
"Tell me what kind of treatment we have to use on this patient while we walk to the OR" she said after a few steps in silence.
"In my normal voice or-" Kepner trails off hesitating.
Callie just shook her head and walked ahead ignoring the redheads question.
He woke up this morning and he knew that he was finally ready. He finally has the strength to avenge his family.
His mourning was over and the time for revenge came. He got ready for his day like he normally do, took his car key.
He looked one last time at his house, the house that held so many memories, but it was just that now, memories...
At lunchtime, in the cafeteria, Arizona was telling all about her plan for the evening to Teddy and Mark.
"So I got a reservation at her favorite restaurant, then we will go back to my place for dessert." She said looking at them expectantly.
Mar wiggled his eyebrows and says "What kind of dessert?"
"Not that kind, you perv!" Arizona said throwing a napkin at him "well not only…" she said under her breath.
Teddy just watched them and laughed. Things between Arizona and Mark have finally calmed down. Before she would have thrown her tray at him just for that comment, but they get along now. It wasn't easy, Arizona was mad at him at first but then she understood where he was coming from. It's hard not to fall for Callie, she was amazing. When she wasn't spending all her time mad at him, she realized that he was a pretty awesome guy and very good with both Sofia and Callie.
"So are you going to tell her?" Teddy said whispering as if it was a very big secret.
"I don't know yet… don't you think it's too soon?" Arizona asked unsure.
Before Teddy had a chance to answer, a voice behind Arizona said "What's too soon?"
Callie sat down next to Arizona while Robbins says "Nothing, just talking about some case." Arizona said a little too quickly and throw a look at Teddy that means stop talking.
Callie just shrugged and started picking at her salad, earning a confused look from Arizona. It was pizza day and Callie loved this day so why was she playing with her salad instead of eating a pizza? Taking a good look at Callie, Arizona saw that the brunette looked tired and a little pale.
"Babe are you ok?" She said putting her hand on Callie's thigh to make her look up.
"I'm fine" she said with a smile not at all convincing.
"Really?" Arizona pushed a little, she only received a nod from Callie.
"Then why are you eating a salad when it's pizza day?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I wasn't really feeling like eating pizza today and I wanted some salad"
"You don't even like salad." Arizona, Mark, and Teddy all said in unison getting a groan from Callie.
"I'm just tired and a little sick that's all! I think the medication I took yesterday didn't set very well. I've been sick since this morning, I need coffee but the smell made me sick! But now it's getting a little better. I just don't want to make a big deal out of it." She said getting annoyed and pushing the tray away from her.
Neither of the three said anything not wanting to bother the Latina more especially if she was in coffee deprivation.
They were talking about a case Arizona and Teddy had when Addison came sitting with them, making everyone look at her.
"Hey guys," she barely had the time to say when Callie abruptly stood up and left the cafeteria without a word.
"Don't take it personally she's having a bad day" Arizona said trying to justify her girlfriend's behavior.
"Yeah right" Addison said with a humorless laugh and shaking her head. Callie still hasn't talked to her since she learned that it was Addison who called her father to make Erica leave. She tried everything to make it up to her but it was in vain, Callie was hurt and stubborn. She just hope that one day she will realize that Addison did what she did with Callie best interest at heart. She tried to help her and it backfired in her face. For the rest of lunch, they all eat in silence, the mood effectively killed.
He was in a store buying a gun, bullets and a bottle of whiskey. He didn't like the taste but he really needed the alcohol. Nowadays you could buy a gun in the alley next to your tampons.
On his way to the hospital, he had a little problem that he took care of quickly. Once in front of the hospital, he finished his bottle of whiskey and entered the hospital from the front door.
Entering the ER, Callie barely had the time to make two steps that she was stopped by Owen Hunt.
"Torres! I was looking for you." He said handing Callie a chart. "We have a patient with a GSW in the left shoulder." They walked toward the trauma room and Owen blocked the way to the door for Callie when she tried to enter it.
"What are you doing?" she said trying to force her way in again.
"I need you to not freak out but the patient… it's… your father"
"What?!" she said this time trying to push him away and entering the trauma room.
When she entered the trauma room, she saw her father covered in blood and fighting off the nurses and medical personnel trying to assessed his injuries.
"Dad?"
"Oh Calliope thank god you're here!" Carlos said clearly relieved.
"Dad what happened? Who shot you? What are you doing in Seattle?" she asked taking 3 big steps toward him and starting to look at his arm.
"Some crazy man forgot his priority and hit my car. When I came out of the car to make an accident report the man came out and shot me just like that for no reason and went away." He said mad.
"You need surgery but I can't operate on you because I'm family. I need you to let the doctors do their job please and stop being a pain in the ass." Callie says giving him the Torres glare when he tried to push a way a nurse.
She then left the trauma room "I'm going to call mom."
She put herself on an empty bed and closed the curtain for a little privacy. She had barely dialed her mother's phone number when someone rudely pulled the curtain open. Looking up she saw that it was Addison.
"What do you want? I'm busy." She said sighing and standing up.
"We need to talk," Addison said. "You can't continue acting like this, and avoiding me! You are my best friend damn it! It's been two months, I apologized, what else do you want? I'm sorry I called your dad, okay? But what choice did I have? You weren't telling us anything, you had new bruises every day and you were freaking pregnant!" Addison was ranting, she had had enough of Callie's childish behavior. They needed to have a talk once and for all and Addison wanted it now.
"ADDISON! I don't have time! I-"Callie was interrupted when someone called her name.
"Doctor Torres!" the man said.
Turning around, her eyes widened when she saw who it was and what he had in his hand. And then everything went black.
BANG!…BANG!…BANG!
A/N: buckle up people, shit is going down!
