Always you [J. Avery]

Entering the gallery Meredith and Ophelia sat at the front next to Izzie who smiled at the ginger intern, extending a granola bar to her, eating something herself, "Ohh we're eating now?" Ophelia teased as she nodded her head at the food that Izzie was eating, "Well, as much as I don't want to, I need to eat something." the blonde replied, biting into her food again.

"Bailey's got me doing the same thing." Ophelia hummed in reply, the two blondes nodded at her words, although slightly confused, or rather Meredith was completely clueless, Izzie was in the loop.

"He's going to faint. He's a fainter." one of the other interns told the rest, prompting another to counter "Naaah, code brown. Right in his pants." to which the first one disregards by saying "He's all about the flops, he's going to sweat himself unsterile." Everyone was settling into their final seating positions when another intern wagers "Ten bucks says he messes up the McBird." only to have Cristina one up him "Twenty says he cries."

"I'll put twenty on a total meltdown." Another of the many interns bets, this upset Meredith to the point she snaps "Fifty says he pulls the whole thing off." Which made everyone fall quiet and look at her, Ophelia included, although Ophelia was a look of understanding rather than judgement.

" That's one of us, down there. The first one of us. Where's your loyalty?" Everyone keeps quiet momentarily as they take in their words,  but it doesn't last long because Cristina says loudly "Seventy-five says he can't even ID the appendix." Izzie and many others claim "I'll take that action." while Ophelia merely shakes her head quietly.

Were she not the second intern to perform surgery she would probably have taken that action, but seeing as she was she knew what George would be feeling if he knew that they were taking wagers on him and how he performed his surgery. 

Suddenly Doctor Burke entered the O.R. and claims loudly "Okay, O'Malley, let's see what you can do." everyone in the gallery held their breath, countless of interns waiting to see if George would fuck up or succeed.

Down in the O.R. George orders "Scalpel." and is given one by a nurse, making everyone cheer from the gallery quite loudly, Meredith and Ophelia included, Burke however motions for them to shut up. "That Burke, he's trouble." Cristina mutters to the rest of the interns. "More pressure. Human flesh is a tough shell, dig in." Burke says, his advice echoing throughout the O.R. and gallery.

Anticlimaticaly however, Ophelia's pagers goes off, making everyone jump out of their skin while Ophelia jumped onto the balls of her feet and ran out of the gallery, folder in one hand while the other pushed any doors open, the 911 lettering still appearing on her now silenced pager.

The ginger wasted no time in running up the stairs, knowing fully well that if she got in the elevator she wouldn't get there in time, her feet thumping as she ran up the several, several, several stairs, praying not so quietly to not trip or slip down those stairs. And once arrived on the floor she was needed on she burst into the busy hallway, barely catching her breath as she dashed in the direction of Mr.Gaunt's room.

"Dr. Montgomery." A nurse greeted breathlessly as she held the patient sideways so he wouldn't choke on his own tongue while seizing, "Push Epi and PAGE BAILEY AND SHEPHERD!" Ophelia ordered, moving quickly to hold the patient so the nurse the epi.  "PAGE BAILEY AND SHEPHERD AND TELL THEM TO MEET US IN THE O.R.!" She shouted, making sure she was heard over the beeping of the machines.
