Derek

    
     A shooter! HOW can there be a shooter in my hospital! What about Meredith! What do I do? I have to protect my hospital. I have to protect my patients. I have to protect my family. Oh my God! What do I do?

     I get the head of security on the phone, surely he will know what to do. There had to be some kind of training in this. Right? "This is Derek Shepherd." I say as soon as he answers.

     "Chief," He replies. "How can I help you?"

     "There is a shooter in the hospital." I tell him. "What do I do?"

     "A shooter!" He says. "HOW am I supposed to know what to do? Is this like a random test or something, there can't really be a shooter?"

     "How do you not know what to do?" I exclaim. "You are the head of security for crying out loud."

     "With all do respect sir, this doesn't really happen." He responds.

     "I know this doesn't happen!" I exclaim. "Just help me figure out what to do."

     "Look up what a lock down looks like for us." He says.

     I found it in a binder labeled "safety drill". "Lock down," I read. "Nobody moves in or out." I hang up and call a lock down as fast as I can. "April, call 911 and tell them to get the swat team here quick!" With that I walk out of the room. "My hospital." I mutter. "No shooter will be killing people in my hospital."

     "Dr. Shepherd!" April calls after me. I just keep walking.
