Knock on wood.

"Ten blade." Bailey said as the nurse handed it over.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Step on a crack, break your mother's back.

Suddenly over all four OR's the heart monitors flatline and beep loudly.

"Paddles." Burke ordered as Cristina hands them to him. "Ten joules."

"I have to take her off." Addison said as she quickly went to work trying to save her patient.

******************************************

"I'm in the middle of his brain." Derek informed Eddie who was working with him, trying to save the crashing man.

******************************************

"We're losing him." Bailey said as she was working to save this man's life.

******************************************

All four patients flat-line, there was nothing left they could do. They had done everything to save them. But, it wasn't enough. Bailey, Burke and Derek say: "Time of death..."

******************************************

"Call it, Grey." Addison told the intern that was assisting her.

The last thing we want to do is offend the gods.

"Time of death: 8:17." Meredith called.

In the intern locker room, and the five original Bailey interns were freshening up after an already long shift. Four surgeries, four fatalities, it wasn't a good way to start a shift. Eddie had braided her curly blonde hair into two long braids and was now reading some thick medical journal while she snacked on some orange slices as she on a bench next to Cristina who had her head resting on her lap while she ate a granola bar . While Izzie, Meredith, and George stood at the lockers getting ready for the rest of their shift.

"Four surgeries, four fatalities and the day has barely started." George commented.

Cristina sat up slightly, resting on her arms.

"Can I have a bite of that?" George asked Cristina motioning to what she was eating, which got him a glare in return.

"No. You're in my apartment, not my food." Cristina informed the male intern.

"Dr Burke gave me a protein bar." George informed her.

"Burke packs his lunch for him. Did I mention?" Cristina asked her fellow interns sarcastically.

"I talked to the morgue guy." Izzie informed the group Izzie said as she took a bite of the apple she pulled from her locker.

"The one with the unibrow?" Meredith asked Meredith asked as she sat on the bench next to Cristina to put on her shoes.
