A/N: Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at a Scrubs fic but here's the basic plot: After JD gets attacked, some staff members of Sacred Heart go look for his attacker while Elliott keeps watch over an unconscious JD and thinks about the times they shared with each other. Once the truth is revealed however, things will change between everybody.

Chapter 1- JD is Attacked

As I walked into Sacred Heart for another usual work day, I couldn't help but think about the different relationships in the hospital. Turk and Carla's relationship seemed to be better than ever now that they had a baby. Elliott and Keith were eagerly anticipating their wedding although Elliott still seemed to have doubts about being married. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox and Jordan were dealing with raising two kids and the children seemed to bring back feelings both of them had for each other. Dr. Kelso, as usual was still cheating on his wife Enid with a variety of sources, including masseuses and his membership to different porn websites.

I guess that left me and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on between me and Kim. Part of me wanted to be a father while another part of me was mad at her for lying to me and there was still a part of me longing to be with Elliott. All those thoughts were put aside after I saw the Janitor.

JANITOR: Well, well, what do we have here? (Looks at JD as a bucket of water falls on JD and starts laughing.) Oops, I forgot about that bucket of water.

As JD tries to dry off, Dr. Cox comes up to where JD and the Janitor are standing.

DR. COX: Jenny, why the hell are you wet? (Glances at JD before he slips on the water from the bucket and nearly falls.) God damn it, why the hell is there water on the floor?

JANITOR: Why don't you use your intelligence to figure it out?

JD: Whatever, my shift starts soon. (He walks away and thinks about everything the Janitor has done to him over the years.) Hmm, maybe I should let him be the narrator for a day, JD thought.

SCRUBS INTRO

Told from Janitor's POV

As I continued to slowly clean up the entrance area of Sacred Heart, I couldn't help but think about all the things I've done to that intern now turned physician. I know it was mean but that was my way of expressing friendship. I know, I'm weird, but that's what happens when your parents were huge drug abusers, especially huge weed users. Oh well things could be worse so I'm just glad this is how everything is. I stopped cleaning for a moment and took a swig of my flask, which I had filled up that day with Jack Daniels. Unfortunately for me, none other than Kelso walked in as I opened my flask.

DR. KELSO: (Walks up to the Janitor) What the hell are you doing with that flask? I thought I was clear there is no drinking allowed on the job!!

JANITOR: Well, you see I think since I'm doing such a good job so far with the cleaning, I figured taking a sip wouldn't hurt. Besides, it's nearly impossible for me to go any faster than my current pace.

DR. KELSO: Dammit, I do not pay you for this type of bullshit. Here's what I want you to do so listen up.

I couldn't help but notice that Kelso turned a bright shade of red when he was mad. I took another swig of my flask and suddenly I realized Kelso had been talking the whole time.

JANITOR: I'm sorry, what were you saying?

DR. KELSO: As your boss and the person who signs your paychecks, I want you to go clean the staff bathrooms then clean the visitors bathrooms. Once you have completed that, I want you to empty all the garbage cans in the hospital as well as the ones outside.

JANITOR: Fine, I'll do that. (Gives Kelso a salute then gives him the finger once Kelso turned around.)

Since I was on the first floor of the hospital, I figured that I would start off with the staff bathrooms, which were located in the locker rooms on the first floor. Once I got into the men's locker room, I saw a few interns preparing to call it a day as well as that guy who always hung out with the guy I kept bothering. He was busy talking to Dr. Cox, who had also stopped in there. As I walked by, Dr. Cox and the other guy didn't bother to look at me and I could have cared less. I opened the door to the bathroom and immediately gasped.

JANITOR: HOLY SHIT! I need a fucking doctor here now!

As I waited for a doctor, I took a few sips of my flask as I stared at the sight in front of me. Inside the bathroom was a huge pool of blood and apparently someone had taken the liberty of writing 'FUCK DOCTORS' in blood on the mirror. But that wasn't what I was concerned about. The person lying on that pool of blood was more important to me. I heard laughing outside and seemed to be convinced that nobody was responding.

JANITOR: Dammit. I need a doctor here now!!! There's a scantily clad super model claiming she wants to have sex with a doctor.

Damn, that ought to get their attention and it sure did.

TURK: Where's that super model at? (Looks around and instead sees JD lying in a pool of blood). Oh shit Vanilla Bear, what happened to you?

DR. COX: What the hell is going on in here? (Sees JD on the ground and gasps.) Newbie, what the fuck happened to you? Dammit, all you useless interns get out of here (the interns leave in a rush as he pages several people.)

Within seconds, Elliott and Carla come in and see JD lying on the ground in blood. Somewhere along the line, someone had wheeled in a gurney and now Turk, Dr. Cox, Elliott and Carla placed JD's body on the gurney. I merely took out the garbage and decided to leave everything else for the cops. I figured it was now time for me to change to someone else's perspective.

ELLIOTT'S POV

Damn, whoever beat up JD sure did a number on him. There were cuts and bruises on his face and who knew what else happened to the rest of his body. I fought to hold in the tears that were trying to come out as we transferred JD to an empty hospital bed. Dr. Cox immediately declared himself in charge of JD as I went to call the cops. I dialed 911 and waited as I got through.

ELLIOTT: Hi, someone has been assaulted at Sacred Heart hospital and we need police right away.

Before the person I was speaking to could respond, I hung up and the tears I tried to hold in came out. The other nurses, interns and doctors were looking on as Dr. Cox did what he could for JD. I saw Carla and Turk standing by the door to JD's room and it seemed like both of them were crying. As I continued to cry, I heard footsteps and smelled Keith's cologne as he wrapped his arms around me.

KEITH: Elliott, how are you feeling?

I almost wanted to smack Keith really hard. One of my best friends was lying in a hospital bed near death and I thought it was pretty obvious.

ELLIOTT: How the frick do you think I'm feeling?

I knew I shouldn't have said that to Keith but I was sad, upset and hysterical all at once. Before Keith could respond, a solemn Dr. Cox walked out of JD's room as Dr. Kelso came by only to see nobody working.

DR. KELSO: Why the hell is everyone standing around?

DR. COX: Apparently Bobbo, nobody told you the news. Someone has been attacked in this hospital. I don't know if you've ever met the doctor who has been attacked, but his name is John Dorian and he is in critical condition after getting stabbed three times as well as getting shot twice as well as suffering from several contusions and cuts on his face.

TURK: Holy shit, who the hell would do that to JD? He never bothered anyone and mostly kept to his own.

LLOYD: You mean to tell me that Dr. D is hurt?

DR. COX: Lloyd, what the hell are you doing in here? And to answer your question, yes.

JANITOR: Well I pray to God that whoever did this does not run into me. For I swear on the grave of my great grand-uncle George Washington that I will beat the living daylights out of this person.

Everyone just gives the Janitor a weird look.

CARLA: Janitor, since when did you care about JD? And there is no way your great grand-uncle is George Washington.

TURK: I don't care if Janitor is related to George Washington. I just want to know who did this to JD so I can beat them up.

TODD: I am so with you on that. The let's beat up JD's attackers five (Todd and Turk slap hands).

ELLIOTT: You know, I did call 911 and asked for cops.

DR. KELSO: Fine then. Everybody continue working until the cops get here.

DR. COX: Bob, I think you're forgetting something here.

CARLA: Yeah, I refuse to do anything until JD gets better.

JANITOR: And I refuse to continue cleaning.

TURK: You know Dr. Kelso, I don't know if you know this but JD is my best friend and seeing him like that scares the living crap out of me. You can fire me if you want but I refuse to work until JD is properly healed.

ELLIOTT: He means so much to all of us here. We need him back or else things won't be the same.

DR. COX: Bobbo, I think you are going to have to face reality. Newbie is our primary concern and he has affected almost everybody here. As his mentor, I also refuse to work until I find out for sure that he is fine.

I was surprised to hear Dr. Cox say that about JD. I knew Dr. Cox was his mentor but I never saw that coming at all. Meanwhile, some of the interns JD had been mentoring didn't seem like they were in the mood to work either. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelso's face started becoming a deeper shade of red and it looked like he was angry.

DR. KELSO: Dammit people, I sign your paychecks, you should listen to me.

TED: Sir, they are afraid someone might attack them and if that happens they can sue you.

DR. COX: You know Bobbo, Ted might be your lackey but he's right. If someone was able to attack Newbie, then someone might come in and attack any other doctor here, including you Bobbo. Although honestly, I don't think any of us would really give a rat's ass if someone did attack you and leave you in a coma.

DR. KELSO: (Turns a furious shade of red) I hope all of you remember the oath you took to take care of sick people.

DR. COX: Oh yeah, well Bobbo here's what's going to happen. Interns, all of you are responsible for the sick people in the hospital and you will talk to Dr. Kelso if you need help.

TURK: Not a bad idea because I am going to find whoever did this to JD.

CARLA: Turk, be careful and think about Isabella while you're out there. (She gives Turk a kiss)

TODD: Dude, I am so with you on that.

As other staff members also volunteered to go after JD's attacker, I couldn't help but think about my past with JD. For some reason the song "It Ends Tonight" by the All-American Rejects came to mind as I thought about how unique he was.

Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can't explain myself at all.
And all that wants
And all that needs
All I don't want to need at all.

I was surprised when Dr. Cox, Keith, Janitor, Dr. Kelso, Ted, Doug and Lloyd all agreed to go find JD's attacker. I was mostly surprised at Dr. Kelso, who claimed that nobody was going to get away with beating up an employee of the hospital.

The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

As the team of people ready to go after JD's attacker gathered in a corner of the room, we heard sirens and saw the police finally arrive. A man who appeared to be in his early 40's showed up in a suit and introduced himself as Detective Maloney.
When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.
