TWENTY-ONE: "Start Over Again."

James Filler drops to the floor and Owen continues to punch him. Some security guards and Alex run over and pull Owen off of him. 

'You have some nerve coming here!' Owen exclaims. 

'So you're Em's dad?' James smirks as he stands up, wiping the blood from his split lip. 'How is she?' Owen goes to lunge at him but Alex stops him.

'Owen, take a walk.' Alex tells him. Owen hesitates. 'That's an order, Dr Hunt!' He says more sternly. Owen glares at James before turning around and walking away. Alex turns to face James. 'Sir, can you follow me, please?' He asks him. 'We'll get you cleaned up.' 

'I came to see Emma.' James states. Alex stays silent for a few moments before giving a subtle nod to the security guard, who knows what happened to Emma, and they walk away to call Ryan. 'Well? Where is she?' 

'Someone's going to call her.' Alex lies. 'In the meantime, come with me and we'll get you cleaned up.' Alex tells him. 'I'm sure you wouldn't want her seeing you with a split lip and black eye.' 

'Fine.' James huffs. He follows Alex to an empty treatment room. James sits on the bed whilst Alex rummages through the drawers, taking out some antiseptic wipes and some steri-strips as he does. He walks back over to James. 

'So.' Alex starts. 'How'd you know Emma?' He questions, acting like he doesn't know what James did to Emma. 

'I've been seeing her mom.' James says. 'Where is  Emma?' 

'She's with some friends today.' Alex lies again. 

'Do you know how long she'll be?' James queries. 

'Probably about half an hour.' 

.

Back at Ryan's house, Dani and Emma are still sat talking. Ryan is sat with them in the front room when he gets a phone call. He stands up and goes into the kitchen to take the call. 

'Hello.' Ryan answers the phone.

'Tanner, it's Logue, James Filler has just turned up at Grey-Sloan. Alex Karev is stalling him in a treatment room. Apparently, Owen Hunt threw a few punches. He's going to meet you at the nurse's station on the surgical floor.' Logue relays the information. 'I'm on my way to your house now to sit with Emma. Leave now. I'm a couple of minutes out.'

'On my way.' Ryan nods. He hangs up, picks his coat up from the back of a chair and puts it on. He then walks to his safe, takes out his gun, badge and handcuffs and clips them onto his belt before walking out to Dani and Emma. 'I've got to head out, there's been an incident. Dani, I'll drop you home.' 

''Kay.' Dani nods. She nods up and puts her bag on her back. 'It's nice to see you again, Emma.' 

'You too.' Emma smiles. 'Bye.'

'Bye.' Dani smiles back. 

'A colleague is on her way. She'll be here in a few minutes.'   

'Okay.' Emma nods. 'What's happened?' 

'A suspect on a case I'm working has turned up and my boss wants me to go and get him.' Ryan states, without giving much away. 'I don't know how long I'll be.' He adds. 'If I'm late, I'll grab something for dinner on the way home.' 

'Okay.' Emma nods again. Ryan and Dani say goodbye and leave. 

.

Twenty minutes later, Ryan pulls up in front of Grey-Sloan in his patrol car. He had gone to the station to get changed and pick up his patrol car before making his way to the hospital. He gets out of the car and makes his way into the hospital and up to the surgical floor where Owen is waiting for him with a security guard.
