166. The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Today I felt like I was driving through a safari. Let me recap what I mean by that. I was taking Caleb to Kennedy's place. "Mum, is that a Lion?" He asked me and I looked at where he was pointing.

"I think so, right. Your not to go outside once I drop you off." I said to him and we kept going. Once I dropped him off I was expecting a lot of people at work. Once I was at work. I saw Jackson. "I just saw a lion in the street." I said to him and he looked at me. Almost like he didn't believe me.

"A what?" He asked me.

"A lion. Just walking around. I think we'll have a few casualties." I said to him and he looked at me. He still was so confused.

"I'm glad that you and Caleb are ok." He said to me before he got paged. I then started walking around and checking on a few patients. After a while I got paged to go help out. A guy had been attack by a lion. The same lion that I had seen. I walked in barely after Callie and Mark.

"What do we got?" Mark asked as the three of us walked in.

"Deep animal claw laceration extending down the lift side of the body." Webber said to us, I looked at Jackson. I told him there was a lion.

"And there's your arm." Jackson said as he showed us. That looked nasty.

"Yeah, that's what you expect when you hear 'lion.'" Callie said to us.

"Maybe a little better." I said to her, at least it wasn't entirely mauled off.

"I bet it's nice to know what to expect instead of showing up at your girlfriend's house for the first time and being greeted at the door by the freakin' king of the jungle." He said to us, well Jackson got greeted by child so I he wasn't expecting that either. But a lion was worse.

"She never bothered to mention she had a pet lion?" Callie asked and I looked at him.

"I would've thought that would've answered any 'do you have any pets?' On a date." I said to them, call it a bad question but cats for me was a no. Especially when I had an allergy.

"Seems like something that ought to come up on the first date." Mark said nodding in agreement. This woman was a crazy.

"Right? She told me she had a cat. A big cat, and I'm allergic, so I took an antihistamine before I left the house." He said to us and a looked at him.

"But she forgot to mention it was a wild cat." I said to him and he nodded. Callie than moved another one of the bandages.

"Yeah. You should have brought a bullwhip." Callie said making me smile. He could put failed lion tamer on his CV now. After Callie and I finished consulting we realized that there wasn't much we could do. But if there was anything we needed to do. We were going to do it. I then went up to watch the surgery on the girlfriend. You think, she must've been crazy. When Callie and I got called to operate in the arm I was glad to be there.

"Imagine. The power it takes to cause injuries like these. A flick of your wrist, and...whoosh." Webber said to us, I couldn't imagine the pain that was experienced.

"Nope. You know what these injuries are? This is natural selection at work. I mean, the guy was an idiot. I don't care how desperate you are for sex, if a chick tells you she wants you to meet her cat, you run fast." Jackson said and I mean a lot of people say that about kids. I was just glad that Jackson was open to that idea and it paid of well.

"He was blindsided by someone he trusted. You never know how you're gonna react when that happens." Callie said to him and he was right.

"What did you say to Robbins?" Mark asked her and she looked at him. What was all this about? Was this about Colleen?

"Hmm?" Callie hummed out. "Nothing. I just asked her how many other exes she has in the hospital. She said one or two. I can live with one or two, right?" Callie asked and Webber coughed.

"I mean I've got two in this hospital and ones in the OR now." I said to her and Callie looked at Mark.

"What was that? Why did he cough?" She asked him.

"Don't say anything. We're not in this." Mark said to Webber. But he'd spill.

"Webber, why'd you cough?" Callie asked him and he looked at her.

"Well, it's, it's a little like when a patient tells you they have one or two drinks a week. We all round that number up because patients tend to tell us what we want to hear. If they'll admit to two drinks..." Webber started and that's when Callie realized what that meant.

"They're having so many more." Callie said and I looked over at Jackson.

"Have you found something?" I asked him.

"I got...I got something sharp here." Jackson said as he pulled something out. A lion tooth.

"Oh, wow." I said that wasn't something you saw everyday.

"Oh." Callie got out.

"A lion tooth." Webber said, that was a pretty cool trophy.

"All right." Jackson said as he put the tooth to the side.

"Seriously that's how your gonna treat it." I said to him, I wanted to have a look.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't just toss that aside just yet. Bokhee, keep that safe, will you?" Webber asked and she nodded at him. I was hoping to get a closer look at that after the surgery. Once the surgery was over I then went to my lunch. If there was one thing I wanted to know was, the secret attending my sister slept with at one point. So I called her up.

"Is everything okay at work?" She asked me and she was worried about me.

"Everything's fine but Callie might be on a war path. Did you ever sleep with Arizona?" I asked her and I heard her spit something out.

"Like once, don't tell Callie. I'm kinda scared of her." She said to me and I started to let out a chuckle.

"I won't but you can't ever mention it." I said to her. We had a normal conversation after that. It wasn't long until shift was over. Jackson and I were on our drive home when I looked at him.

"Promise that you'll never cheat on me." I said to him and he looked at me confusedly.

"You know I won't. Whatever brought this on?" He asked me and I looked at him. What I was told was between Cristina, Mer and I.

"Because Owen cheated on Cristina. And I hope that you'll never do that to me." I said to me and he put his hand on my thigh.

"Nothing would ever make me cheat on you." He said to me and I smiled at him. I was reassured to hear that. Maybe I had found the one for me.
