Chapter Three

Peggy stood in the corner of the room on the phone with her sister as the other interns stood behind the nurse's station watching Christina give away her wedding presents. One of the nurses Tyler was in front of Christina looking at one of the gifts, "It is beautiful."

Dr Stevens stood next to him holding on tight to a mix master, "I know. It's a Belgian flip round pro."

Tyler asks the surgeon, "What do you want for it?"

The resident doesn't look up as she continues writing, "What do you got?"

"Next time I get a projectile vomiter, I could lose your pager number." He tries to negotiate but Christina wasn't having it.

She scoffs, "You gotta do better than that. Surgeries, baby. Preferably cardio."

Dr Grey walks up looking at the boxes. "Are these all, wedding gifts?"

The blond nods, "Yes. She's giving them away. I have dibs on the mix master." She smiles hugging the box.

Cristina laughs, "I'm not giving you the Mixmaster."

"I think the tradition is you're supposed to return them." Meredith smiles.

Christina jumps up, "Well, Burke registered for this crap. Now I'm the one stuck dealing with it. So I'm using it for professional gain."

Dr Sloan taps the box he was holding, "You sure you're ready to part with this?"

"She's not. I want it." Izzie reaches forward begging Christina but she's ignored

"I am if I can help on the rhomboid flap in your next Mohs defect repair." She tells the man hopefully.

Dr Sloan knocks Izzies hand off the box giving her a look, "Come to daddy." He walks off with the box.

Dr Karev walks over confused, "You steal this stuff?"

"Make her give me something." The blond yells at the man.

"Give her something." The man says not caring.

"Give me the Mixmaster." Peggy who glanced over at the noises thought the woman looked psycho yelling at Christina.

"Face it. You have nothing I want." Christina's says making Izzie glare at her as Dr Bailey walks up to them.

"Would you look at the residents? Big, snazzy residents, standing around playing with housewares." The short woman says giving them a look.

"Turn a blind eye and the soup tureen's yours." When she sees the look on the woman face she backed up and turns to her interns. "Four! Take this mix...hey! Take the Mixmaster and all this crap and put it in my locker." Her pager goes off, "Carnage in the pit. My day's improving. Follow."

Dr Bailey stopped her, "Um...Christina, why is your intern on the phone while working?"

The woman shrugs, "She said it was an emergency!"

Peggy starts walking over still on the phone making Dr Bailey reach out and take it from her. She hangs up the phone while the Gallagher woman stared at her in shock. "Dr Gallagher you are a doctor and this is a hospital, why the hell were you on thephone?"

"My father has been missing since yesterday," Everyone around stared at her shocked, "That was my sister updating me on what they've found so far."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Bailey stared at her with guilt in her eyes, "I wouldn't have done that if I had known!"

Peggy nods, "It's fine! He'll turn up in a few days!" When she sees the looks on everyone's face she explains, "He does this all the time, but he'll need money if he wants more alcohol!"

"Okay...let's head to the pit," Christina awkwardly says as she moved them towards the pit.

"Uh, we're not gonna round?" Lexie asks confused.

"Carnage trumps rounds, three. Write that down. Carnage always trumps rounds." She tells them before they completely leave the hallway. They make it to the pit and put on their scrub gowns as they walk to the ambulance bay.

The chief says as they walk outside, "What do we got?"

"A gas main blew in an apartment building. Five injured, some badly." Dr Torres informs the group.

Dr Yang gets excited, "Excellent." When she sees the looks on their faces she changes her words, "Horrible. It's horribly sad."

The ambulance driver jumps out of the ambulance and informs them of the patients status, "Marla Kristler, 34-year-old female, abdomen blown out, skull fracture, third-degree burns over at least 40% of her body."

"Okay, I got this. Open OR two. Page Dr Shepherd. Torres, triage the rest." The chief says as he walks in with the patient.

"Yes, sir. Yang, you're with the chief. Go." She hands Christina the chart before walking away.

"Oh, thank you. Uh, Peggy, four, come with me." Christina orders before walking away.

"What about us?" Lexie asks as she walks away.

Christina looks over at them, "Uh... go help Bailey in the clinic." She gives orders before walking away.

They all walk inside as the rest of them go to the other ambulance, the driver comes out of the ambulance. "John Doe burns on his arms and legs, he's been unconscious since the blast."
