Chapter 1- Place Your Bets
J.D. was working with some new interns at Sacred Hearts Hospital. He loved working with the interns. He always though of them as puppets he could train, then he'd cut off the string that made him control the interns so that they could go on to make their own medical decisions.
J.D. was still thinking about this when Turk came up to him. "Hey, man I got a favor to ask ya," he said. "Carla's going to be spending some time with Elliot tonight and I'm going to be performing an overnight surgery, and we were wondering…could you watch Izzy for us tonight?"
J.D. thought about this for a while. He had always wanted to babysit Turk's young daughter. He had always pictured himself in some sort of a cleaning costume and cleaning up the house while Izzy slept quietly in her crib. Then he'd go to the bar the next night and brag about it to Elliot to see if he'd get lucky that night.
Turk snapped J.D. out of his little fantasy. "Will you do it or not?" he asked.
J.D. looked up to Turk and said, "I'll do it."
Turk smiled. "That's my Vanilla Bear."
J.D. smiled back. "Come here, Brown Bear." The two of them hugged.
"So could you be at our place at around eight? Carla will tell you everything you need to know."
"Okay, I'll be there." The two of them went off to do their own work.
Elliot and The Janitor overheard their conversation. "J.D. can't babysit Izzy," The Janitor said. "That guy can barely keep himself from not looking like a homosexual."
Elliot whipped around to glare at him, her blonde hair getting in her face as she did so. "J.D. can do this," she growled. "He's taken on tougher things than babysitting a kid."
The Janitor decided to make a deal with her. "Okay then, let's make a deal. If J.D. fails to take care of this kid, then you owe me twenty bucks."
Perry Cox (aka Dr. Cox), the Chief of Medicine, overheard the quarreling. "What has 'Mary Beth' gotten herself into this time?" he asked. Elliot tried to explain, but Dr. Cox interrupted her and said, "Nobody asked you, Barbie."
The Janitor explained the situation to him. A smile came over his face. The Janitor asked, "Do you want in on the deal?"
"What's the deal?"
"The deal is if J.D. fails to take care of Carla and Turk's kid, then blonde doctor owes me twenty bucks?"
Dr. Cox turned and asked Elliot, "Can you make it twenty bucks each?"
Elliot glared at him but responded by saying, "It's a deal." The three of them shook hands.
"Please don't lose, J.D." Elliot thought to her self. "I can't afford forty bucks right now."
The rest of the day went quickly for J.D. as he checked up on patients and diagnosed anybody he could. When his shift was over, he quickly went to Turk and Carla's house. Before he got out the door, J.D. passed The Janitor and he said, "Good luck babysitting Izzy."
J.D. turned around and asked, "How did you know I was babysitting for Turk and Carla tonight?"
The Janitor's only response was, "I hear things." J.D. thought nothing of it and left the hospital. As he left The Janitor though to himself, "You need to lose you little runt. I want my twenty bucks from blonde doctor."
