A Love That Knows No Boundaries

28.

It was 5 o clock that evening, Derek and Susanna was waiting looking out over the Empire State building cafe, waiting for Isobel, both Derek and Susanna spent the afternoon questioning if they were making the right choice trusting Isobel or if was a ploy of Mark's, but there was no chance that they were going to take the risk that Isobel might know something.

"Sorry am i late, i had a little trouble getting out of the office" she said sitting down opposite them. She can see their sceptical looks, and doesn't blame them "Look, i know you have no reason to trust me, but i think i might know what happened to Meredith"

"Well, you are his mistress" Susanna quipped back angrily.

"Well, that is what everyone is supposed to believe. I work for the DA office here in New York. Mark James has been suspected of embezzling funds and using the Ellis Grey's foundation as a front, your girlfriends company" she nods at Derek.

"You don't think Meredith knew anything about it" Derek had to ask her. Isobel shook her head.

"No, we don't, but that is not why i asked you to meet me. Look about two weeks ago i over heard Mark talking about Meredith and how she was going to pay now that she was alone. I know Mark isn't a saint but i never knew he had that side of him, until after she disappeared. I heard him calling someone and instructing them to deal with something and about a hospital in New Jersey. Now i don't know if that is where she is, but this is the address of the hospital" she said handing Derek a piece of paper.

"This is the address of the hospital that he was talking about, i hope it help you to find her. And this is my card, once you find her can you please let me know, it could be one of the charges we can bring against him"

"Thank you" Derek says gratefully.

"I just hope that she is there"

"Me too" Derek and Susanna rushes out the cafe, knowing they needed to head straight to the hospital. Derek was so scared in case Isobel had gotten it wrong, but Derek prayed that she hadn't.

On the journey to New Jersey, Derek called his mother and Lacey, knowing how close she and Meredith had gotten over the few times that they have seen each other. Derek couldn't stop wondering if she was there, and if she was okay, that she was still alive, he had been fearing the worst ever since the phone call two days ago.

They pulled up out side Englewood Hospital and Medical centre, and Derek jumps out of the car even before it stops and rushes to the reception given his name and knowing them Meredith's picture and asking if they had any Jane Doe's that had been brought in over the past month. The nurse in charge who introduced herself as Denise, shown him to the room, that housed the Jane Doe, has soon as he walked into the room, and saw her dirty blonde hair, and his heart missed a beat, he knew it was her. Derek rushed to her bedside, and ran his hand over her cheek.

"Who is her doctor?"

"Doctor Reeves"

"Can you page him please; i want to talk to him?"

"Of course" Denise leaves the room. Derek hardly recognises her, her face all covered in cuts and bruises, Derek gently lies down next to her, careful of her IV, after checking her responses, he knows that she is in a coma. He wraps his arms around her.

"I am so sorry Mer, i never should have left you, i love you so much, you need to wake up, i am here now" he says to her, the tears rolling down his face, and not caring who sees him. Susanna stands in the doorway of her room, watching them. She walks up the other side of her, taking Meredith hand.

"Please Mer, come back to me" Derek whispered to her. Both Derek and Susanna looked up as a doctor walked into the room.

"Hi, i am Doctor Keanu Reeves, i am neurosurgeon on Jane Doe's case" Derek gets off the bed.

"I am Derek Shepherd. She isn't Jane Doe, her name is Meredith Grey"

"And you are?"

"Her boyfriend, i have just arrived back from South America"

"Meredith Grey, you say" Dr Reeves repeats writing down in her chart.

"What happened?"

"Ms Grey was found outside the hospital two weeks ago, she had been dumped there, with no ID, so we had no chance of identifying her. She was taken in for surgery on her second day to reduce swelling on her brain, and to removed a spleen and do a D&C"

"A D&C?" he asks in shock

"Ms Grey was 10 weeks pregnant" Derek look at him.

"Oh my god"

"You didn't know?"

"No, she never told me"

"I am ever so sorry Mr Shepherd but the baby died in her womb, i can't say if the beating she took caused it, we just don't know"

"I want to see a copy of her scans"

"I am afraid we can't do that"

"Look i am doctor at Seattle Grace Hospital, and i need to see her scan"

"I am sorry Dr Shepherd but that is not possible"

"I am not asking you as Meredith boyfriend, i am asking you as a follow doctor"

"Okay, i will get them for you"

"Thank you" Derek says politely, has Doctor Reeves leaves the room. Derek quickly pulls his phone out and makes a call, before hanging up.

"Derek?"

"I have arranged for her to be transferred to Seattle Grace, and Richard's agreed, he is going to send a helicopter to transport her, once he has spoken to Doctor Reeves"

"If you are sure?"

"I am worried, if she has been in this coma, ever since whatever happened two weeks ago, at least at Grace, i have the best neurological team in the US and Cristina is there. You can also come too"

"Let's wait for the doctor to come back first" Susanna said, Derek once again climbed on the bed, and held her, and for the first time in two days he fell asleep.
