CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE let the angels commit. season three, episode six.
AFTER TAKING A WEEK OFF FROM WORK, CASSIE WAS SITTING IN THE CHIEF'S OFFICE. She had spent pretty much every second of every day over the last week at Joe's, way too drunk to function. It was how she coped with the large amount of blood money weighing on her back.
And after Mark convinced her to deposit the 10 million dollar check into a secure bank account that only she can access, she was more than ready to distract herself by cutting people open.
At least, she was, until she heard a rumor that made her want to go back to Joe's bar forever.
"Absolutely not," Cassie deadpanned, leaning back in the chair with her arms crossed.
Webber sighed heavily. "Dr. Harper, I know you have some personal issues with Dr. Stevens, but—"
"Personal issues?" she scoffed. "She single handedly killed Denny. So yeah, I guess you could say I have some personal issues."
Richard removed his glasses and put his hands together. "I'm sympathetic towards you, Cassie. I really am. But doctors, surgeons, make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes cost us a life."
"It's not a mistake if it was on purpose," Cassie countered, standing up, arms still across her chest.
"You want to know how many patients I've personally killed in my career?" he asked, making her frown with confusion. "9. That's 9 people, with 9 families. Families, that consisted of sisters, brothers, wifes, husbands, and parents. And I wouldn't ever expect them to forgive me for what I did. For the mistakes I made. And I don't expect you to, either."
Cassie scoffed and raised her voice to a shout. "All due respect, sir, but being forced to work civilly alongside her, and be around her without there being any problems, sounds a hell of a lot like forgiveness!"
"Dr. Harper, sit down," he instructed loudly, standing up as well.
"No."
On the strip outside of the Chief's office, the interns watched the argument intently, along with Derek, Mark, Addison, Burke, and a few other members of the hospital staff.
"Is she yelling at the Chief?" George gaped. "No freaking way."
Cristina raised her eyebrows. "It's the daddy issues. Leads to little respect for authority."
"No," Meredith disagreed. "There's no way she'd argue with the Chief unless it was about something really important."
"I don't know, she's pretty unstable lately. Wouldn't surprise me if she did something she'd regret," Alex added.
