CODING ━ grey's anatomy

chapter twenty five

"Okay, the trailer sucks," Nancy said to Derek, "but in the light of day, the land is nice. Seattle's pretty in the daylight. Plus, you have your thing for ferry's."

"Ferry boats," Derek, Cassie, and Meredith corrected her in unison.

"Right, whatever."

"Meredith, this is my sister, Nancy."

Meredith raised her eyebrows. "Sister? You're one of Derek's sisters?"

Nancy scoffed. "Well, I knew you didn't think I was the wife, seeing as how you already ran her off."

Cassie bit back a laugh, and Meredith just smiled politely.

Derek cleared his throat. "Nancy is visiting from Connecticut. She's on her way home now. Straight back home."

"Well it was nice to meet you," Meredith smiled, trying to be kind.

"Okay," Nancy deadpanned. Not knowing how to respond, Meredith walked off with Izzie following behind.

"Don't be so rude," Cassie scolded, watching Meredith leave. "She's my person."

"Well, sorry Cass, but being your person doesn't stop her from being a slut."

Cassie found Derek in the CT room looking at scans. "What's wrong with you?" she asked, noticing his persistent frown.

"Nancy is here. What's wrong with you?" he countered.

"You really want to know?" she asked as they walked into the hallway.

"Of course I do."

"Okay then," she said indifferently. "I have 10 million dollars."

Derek laughed, his smile dimming when he noticed that she wasn't joking. "You have 10 million dollars."

"Yup," Cassie grinned sarcastically.

"How—"

"It's Denny's blood money," she interrupted him. "According to his will, he gave it to me to take care of me, but I'm pretty sure this is just Denny getting his last laugh from beyond the grave."

Derek frowned. "Well, I don't know if—"

"HA HA!" Cassie suddenly screamed at the ceiling, startling Derek and earning stares from the dozens of people surrounding them. "VERY FUNNY, ASSHOLE!"

Derek grabbed her arm, pulling her into the closest supply closet. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good," she shrugged.

He stared at her like she'd grown two heads. "Karev was right. You are unstable."

Cassie scoffed. "I'm not unstable."

"Sure," Derek rolled his eyes.

"Hey, wait, I heard you have a surgery. Can I scrub in?"

"I've been waiting for you guys for half an hour in the cafeteria. Since when do we eat in a patient room?" Izzie asked when she came into the room saw the interns surrounding an old patient.
