CHAPTER FIFTY THREE in the midnight hour. season five, episodes eight and nine.
IMPATIENTLY WAITING AS MARK PULLED INTO MEREDITH'S DRIVEWAY, CASSIE KISSED HER BOYFRIEND ON THE CHEEK AS SHE OPENED THE CAR DOOR. Cristina hopped out of the back seat while the couple in the front said their goodbye's.
"I'll see you at the hospital," Cassie grinned, waving to Mark as she shut the door. "Love you!"
He returned the expression, rolling down the window to shout, "I love you more!"
Turning around and walking backwards, Cassie cupped her hands around her mouth as she shouted back. "Not possible!"
Cristina rolled her eyes, opening the door to Meredith's house with her key and letting herself inside. "You two are disgusting."
"And you're bitter," the brunette playfully remarked, following after her up the stairs and into the master bedroom.
Cristina pounded on the door, only waiting half a second before opening it to reveal Derek and Meredith fast asleep.
"You up?"
"No," Derek grumbled into his girlfriend's shoulder, groaning in discontent as he flipped over to his back. Cassie and Cristina made their way onto the bed, despite his protests.
"Yes," Meredith disagreed, sitting up straight.
Cristina squeezed between Meredith and the night stand, while Cassie unceremoniously plopped herself down between the blonde and Derek. She nudged her brother, handing him a hot coffee to apologize for waking him up.
"The wicked witch, is dead," Cristina said dramatically, prompting Meredith to raise a brow.
"Metaphorically dead, or dead dead?"
Derek frowned. "Who are we talking about?"
"Hahn."
"Her name is off the surgical board, and all of her surgeries have been cancelled," Cristina gossiped with wide eyes.
Cassie took a big gulp of her latte. "We don't know how, or why, but we do know that Hahn is gone."
"That's too bad, she was really talented." The three turned to give Derek incredulous looks, prompting him to slowly nod in understanding. "You're not talking to me."
