Cristina scoffed while watching Burke and Derek play darts from her place at the bar. "He's picturing my face. He's totally picturing that dart puncturing my scull."

Derek was up next after having sent an angry look at Meredith.

"Derek..." Izzie chuckled. "Derek is picturing you."

"He called me a whore. He lost the right to picture me," Meredith said.

"Cheers to that," Laura nodded.

"So I fall asleep during sex. So what?" Cristina looked back at the two playing darts. "Ass," she called to Burke.

"Ass," Meredith grumbled angrily.

"Oh! Ass! Hey!" Izzie greeted Alex.

"Hi, Callie," Laura gave her a small smile. Trying to at least be friendly. "How are you?"

Callie, whose smile had gone away after the others' greeting, put on a new one again, though not as bright as it had been. "I'm good, Laura, thank you."

Laura sat with Derek in the room next to CT, looking at Kendras scans.

When George walked in, Derek spoke up.

"Can you imagine? You're at work, you're doing your job and somebody comes in and shoots you. Just... puts a bullet in your head."

"No," Laura sighed thoughtfully. 

"She's nineteen years old," Derek shook his head sadly.

"I called her parents, they're on their way," George informed. "Also..."
