Meredith found a deserted reasearch lab opening the door motioning for Isabella to go inside and before closing the door she quickly checked that connor wasnt near.

"Im going to page Derek so he knows where we are" Meredith told isabella as she sunk to the floor the adrenaline started to leave her body and fear was setting in.

"She cant wait to go to Colombia, its all shes talked about since she got home. She doesnt want to do art its just to iriate her sisters thats all" Connor said sounding very sure of his words.

Dereks pager interupted Connors very well performed speech to persuade everyone to his view.
"Its 911 on my patient"
"Go" everyone in the room shouted.

Derek waited till he was out of sight of those  in his office to ring metedith to find out where they were.

"Meredith" Derek said his words full of concern once meredith picked up the phone.
"We are in reashearch lab 1" meredith told him.
"Okay i am on my way. How is she?"
"Do you want to tlak to her?" Meredith offered
"Yes please"

Meredith waved the phone at Isabella.
"Its derek he wants to talk to you" meredith softly said as isabella took the phone from her.

"Hey Derek' Isabella cheered trying to sound okay when inside she was breaking, she felt so bad that she had brought connor to Seattle, showing Derek and Mark that she wasnt okay and she wasnt as strong as they thought she was. She felt like she let them down.

"Is you okay" Derek asked words full of concern and care.
All the tears and emotions that she had held back from the last couple of weeks then just came out and she cried down the phone.
"Is" Derek said worringly he had never seen her cry even when she hurt herself she always just picked herself up and carried on as if it never happened. Derek knew that this guy connor was wirse bad news than his initial thinkung and there was way mire tonthus story than meet the eye but he already guessed that. He needed tk get Isabella away from him.

"Derek what did he tell you what ever he told you is a lie, please dont believe him. Don't let him get to you too hes already got the rest of my family im trapped. I am terriefied derek terrified"

Derek didn't answer. Isabella knew that connor had got to derek to he had turned him to believe his poison.
Derek didnt answer because he was standing in the door way, he saw his sister, his youngest, strongest sister, broken, a sight he had never seen and he thought he would be angry, wanting blood but all he wanted to do was comfort his little sister. So he ran to her side, pulling her close to him as her head went back to its favourite spot when she was little his shoulder.

"I dont believe him. Im here for you, i am fighting your corner and we will get through this. Together, i shouldnt have left you still needed me and this whole situation we are in now makes it obvious you needed your big brother not another judgemental sibling. someone fighting your battles with you" Derek spoke into his sisters hair.

"What did he tell you?" Isabella asked
"It doesnt matter what he said" derek kindly softly spoke.

Isabella pulled away from dereks shoulder wiping her tears away.
"No i need to know and you need to know why i am really here" Isabella firmly and determinedly said.
"You sure"
"Yes" Isabella smiled as her head fell back onto dereks shoulder

"He said your going to columbia woth him, hes going to neuro, worhsips me"
"The neuro god" Isabella chuckled.
"He chose the right god" derek smirked
"Oh shut up. I think Nancy, Liz and Amelia would disagree" isabella laughed
"Do you?" Derek asked trying tk distract her for a little while.
"What worship you, i have 4 surgical gods I worship, one bad arse ex army nurse to worship and pyshiatrist who didnt listen to those who told her she couldnt be a mum and the most recommended psychiatrist in new york to worship. I may not want to follow all of your footsteps but your all my gods" isabella gushed.
