Chapter 5

"Jordan is here?"

"Yea." Carla answers. "I saw her stalking the halls this morning."

"She said something about getting Dr. Cox back." Elliot muttered into her chart. "Again."

That must be the reason for his bad mood. Why do I suddenly feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place?

"Hey! DJ, have you seen Perry?"

I jump because Jordan has just ( Read more... )

Six months, that can’t be right, can it?

"Dr. Dorian, are you paying attention?"

… "Banana hammock!" Stupid.

Dr. Kelso glares at me. "I’ll take that as a ‘no’." He mutters, then turns away to lead rounds to the next patient.

Chapter 2

"Iruka-sensei...can't...breathe..." Naruto murmured. They'd returned to the village after three years of training, only to have Naruto smothered by his ex-academy teacher.

"Sixteen! You've gotten so big!" Iruka cooed.

"He's shrunk, in my opinion." Kakashi grinned beneath his mask.
