A Shattering Truth

“There’s a shooter in the hospital”

“Are you kidding me?” Bella gasps, looking around and seeing the confusion on the faces of most doctors. She closes her eyes tight, holding the counter tight to prevent herself from crumbling. This could not be happening, not now.

“No. This isn’t a drill either. Head doctors get indications to whether it is a drill or not and this definitely isn’t. We have to lock the floor down. A lockdown is proper protocol.”

“Well, then we need to tell everyone don’t we?”

Arizona nods and turns to the nurses and clears her throat. All eyes turn to her, confusing lacing them.

‘Does anyone here know what a code silver is?” asks Arizona, but gets no response.

“Well, usually, a Code Silver means that there is some sort of danger running loose in the hospital. I cannot be sure what it is. So, according to proper protocol, we go into lockdown. No one goes out of those doors and no one comes in. I need everyone to remain calm and collected. You cannot frighten the tiny humans nor the makers of the tiny humans,” explains Arizona, her voice calm and authoritative.

There was a moment of panicked murmuring but it soon subsided as Arizona’s calm voice took them over.

“Dr.Robbins, there aren’t enough doctors for all the patients on the floor”

“Well, how about you collect them all in the play room? There is more than enough space,” suggests Bella.

“That’s perfect, Dr. Sloan. All the non-emergent cases may walk or use wheelchairs and in emergent cases please move their beds. Let’s get to work people, calmly and methodically,” Arizona ordered gently.

Everyone moved to start working and Arizona turned back to Bella.

“I need to make a call to the chief’s office and find out the details” says Arizona and Bella nods numbly.

Arizona picks up the phone and murmurs much too quietly for Bella to understand anything.

“So what is happening?” asks Bella when Arizona puts the phone down.

“There is a shooter in the hospital. From what the chief has gathered up until now, he has already killed a bunch of people, but he doesn’t know who the shooter is or why he is in this hospital. He is currently guessed to be on the Plastics floor……Wait a minute……aren’t Mark and Calliope on the plastics floor for some case together?” gasps Arizona, terror darkening her eyes.

Bella’s heart stops short, knowing that that is true. “The daycare is on that floor too,” whispers Bella numbly.

“The nurses can manage the kids, we have to go to them,” declares Arizona, already half out of the door. Bella grabs Arizona’s arm to stop her.

“We are on lockdown Robbins! As much as I would like to do so, these kids need us!”

“I don’t care. I’ll have these doors locked from the inside so no one can enter unless the nurses allow that. I am not leaving Calliope’s life too chance, and I don’t think you want to leave Mark’s or Lilly’s on chance too,” challenges Arizona.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s go,” decides Bella, now dragging Arizona out of the Peds floor.
