The children stood staring in awe as Phil ran away. They had come for trick-or-treating and here they were, witnessing a possible murder. They all said nothing, did nothing, there was this creepy silence in the air. Carrie, the smallest of them, who was dressed ironically as Carrie White for Halloween said "Shouldn't we do somethin' ?".

The oldest of them, Matt who was just 9, dressed as a black eyed kid, had his suspicions though. "What if this was staged to scare us ?" said Matt "Adults can go to extreme measures to scare us.". Emily, who was dressed as Harley Quinn, said "But what if it isn't a prank ?" said Emily "We can check her pulse."

"What do you mean ?" said Carrie. She was just thinking that if it was a prank, then she would get to collect no candy. Emily went towards Meredith. She sat on the ground beside Meredith. She took her pale wrist. And tried to feel it. She wasn't a doctor, her uncle was, and he had taught this to Emily. She felt it. It was low but it was there.

Emily stood up, her 'daddy's little problem' t-shirt stained by the blood. "Guys" she said "She's not okay. This is not a prank.". "So, we should go to the nearest house and call 911." said Matt "Be a responsible adult.". "You're not an adult." said Carrie. "Am too" said Matt. "Guys, what are you doing? Go to the nearest house and call 911." said Emily.

"As you say" was what Carrie and Matt said as they headed to Meredith's house.

Meredith's pulse was getting lower and lower, and every minute could be crucial, Emily could just hope that they would do something quick.

Lexie was in the house waiting for someone to come. She was handing out candies to trick or treaters. She wasn't wearing a costume, but didn't mean she wasn't going to be in the spirit of Halloween. She heard the doorbell ring. Kids she thought. She took the bowl full of candy and made her way to the door. She opened the door and welcomed the trick-or-treaters with a smile. "Hi, Happy Halloween." said Lexie in a cheerful voice "What are you both going as ?"

"See, lady, what we are going as is not relevant right now." said Matt, like an adult "Cause there is a woman on your front lawn and she's been shot.". Lexie had to take a minute to process this information. "What!?" she said in disbelief. "This way….." said Carrie as she dragged Lexie outside.

As Lexie got out, she saw her very own sister lying on the front lawn with blood coming out of her. Lexie could only hope that she had drifted off to sleep while watching 'the ring' and she was seeing a Halloween nightmare. But Meredith was there and she was not okay. Lexie went near Meredith and dropped to her knees beside her. She had to be a doctor right now, not a sister.

She was talking to herself "Lexie, you can do this. You're a doctor." She took Meredith's wrist and studied

her pulse, it was really low but it was there. All three kids looked at her. Emily looked at her and said "You're a doctor, right? Aren't doctors supposed to be calm?". "I AM CALM!" said Lexie in a loud voice, loud enough to scare children.

She needed to call 911, and she also needed a flashlight. She looked at Emily and said "Harley Quinn, would please apply pressure to the wound?". It was not a question, but more of a command. Lexie ran to the house, she dialed 911. The 911 operator asked her what was the emergency. Lexie went all out telling what had happened, and that she needed an ambulance as soon as possible. She also grabbed a flashlight on her way out.

As she came back, she saw that Emily was doing a good job of applying pressure to the wound. She grabbed the flashlight, checked the wound. The bullet had not penetrated any internal vital organs but it had ruptured an artery which was causing continuous bleeding.

All could hear the sound of sirens in distance. The ambulance had arrived the destination. The paramedics came out of the ambulance. "How long has she been unconscious?" asked one of the paramedic. "I don't know." said Lexie, standing up, she was in shock. The paramedics put Meredith in the ambulance. It was gonna be difficult. Lexie said "Can I ride with you?"

"Sure ma'am." said the other paramedics. Lexie sat into the van, she never in her wildest dreams thought this would happen. "Hey, don't forget about us !" said the children as they went inside the ambulance.

Derek had to make things right with Meredith. It wasn't right , what he did. The problem was he didn't know where she was. And Derek too was on his way home. He didn't know if Meredith was home, but she wasn't in the hospital, so he just assumed. He called Lexie, she would know. The phone ringed and it took some time for her to pick up. "Hi Lexie, do you know where Meredith is ?" asked Derek, coming straight to point. There was all the Halloween decoration at the all the houses and the children going with candies in their little baskets.

"Yeah." said Lexie. Derek noticed that there was something wrong with her voice, it seemed panicked and there was a tinge of shock hidden in it. "Lexie, what's wrong ?". There was silence on the line. "I need you to come to the hospital. Meredith was shot."

Derek ran his car to the hospital. It was a little over speed limit, but he didn't care. This couldn't be happening. As soon as he reached the hospital, he got out of his car and jostled through the crowd. He asked the nurse for Meredith coming in and she directed him to OR 2. He went there as soon as he could. Christina, Alex, April, Jackson , all of them were there. As soon as Richard saw Derek, he went to him to console him. Derek had barely reached when Richard approached him and said "She's in surgery. She'll be okay, hopefully."

"But who did this?" asked Derek in an angered tone. He was pretty distraught. "Derek, the police are here." said Richard "They want to take you to the station for questioning.". "But why ?" asked Derek. He just wanted to be with Meredith right now. "Cause they think you shot her…"
