Diamonds In The Rough

Before she can say anything the door opened and Mark walked in.

"Get off me!" Mark told him jerking his arm away.

"Can you give us a minute?" Meredith asked looking at Derek. Derek grabbed Hunt by the arm dragging him out of the room. "You have 5 minutes." Derek said closing the door to the room.

"Mark, why did you turn yourself in? That wasn't the plan." Meredith looked at her brother, she was heart broken they were both in jail but curious as to why he was when he got away.

"Meredith, all of this, is my fault." Mark told her.

"Mark we got caught because Callie is well was FBI." Meredith told him.

"Yeah but when our parents died, I didn't have to teach you to pick pockets, or disable alarms. Or anything I did teach you to do. All I should have done was take care of my baby sister." Mark told her tears in his eyes.
"Mark we were kids, we did what we had to. And I could have said no, but I didn't, and here we are. But none of that explains why when you got away you turned yourself in." Meredith replied as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Alex had been shot, Callie and I ran, she told me she was FBI, I ditched her and got to the safe house. But I was alone. It didn't matter if I was free my sister was in jail, and Alex was in the hospital." Mark told her.

"It's a good deal." Mark whispered as the door opened again. "We should take it. We get off with probation and get a job working for the FBI." It's a good deal seeing as we could all get over 25 years, but it's your decision. Alex and I will stand by any choice you make." Mark said.

Meredith nodded and took a deep breath. "You've got a deal." Meredith stated. "Who would be in charge? Our boss?" Meredith asked.

"As of right now it would be me, but I am going off on assignment for 6 months so I will hand you off to the idea man himself. The director has given Detective Shepard Agent Torres' job. Would you be willing to work with Agent Shepard?" Hunt asks.

"Yes that will be fine with us." Mark says as Meredith scowls at him.

"Come with me and we can start the paperwork." Hunt says as Mark and Meredith get up following him.

"Meredith, May I please speak with you for a moment?" Derek asks quietly.

"Go ahead Mark. I will catch up to you. You go with Hunt and get started on the paperwork." Meredith said at Mark's raised eyebrow.

"Meredith, I am sorry." Derek starts as the door closed. "I had no idea who you were. I would never have done that too you. I miss you." He whispers.

"There is no way you could have known Derek. I refused to talk about what I did." Meredith told him. "I can't believe I fell for a cop." She smiled at him walking to the door and leaned next to him. "But I did." She said caressing his face.

Derek cupped Meredith's face, his lips brushed against hers softly. "I love you Meredith. Come on; let's get that paper work signed so you can get out of here."
