TWIST OF FATE (part 1 of 2)

Jd and the Janitor were sitting next to each other, leaning against a dusty wall. It was late in the night, but luckily the room was enlightened by a soft light beam which came in through a tiny window on the top of the wall.

How did they end up in that basement? To discover it, we need to go back to a couple of hours before.

----------------

Jd's working day at Sacred Heart was about to finish, it was 8 PM and he was quite hungry, he couldn't wait to leave the hospital because that night he was going to hang out with Turk all night long. Why? for their "fastest-to-eat-a-burger" weekly challenge of course -which Turk won almost everytime- and so he hadn't eaten anything since the previous day!

He passed by nurse station and it seemed that no patients needed help at the moment. There, he saw Carla and Elliot chatting and decided to join.

-Hey there!- he said with a huge smile on his face, and suddenly noticing the knot right on Elliot's forehead he screamed in surprise. –What the hell..?!-

-Did you notice that?- said Elliot while hiding it.

-How can one not notice that? Did you hit your head on the basin's corner because you fell asleep while spending a life to put your make up on as usual?- and he had his typical laugh.

-It actually happened last year but it wasn't my fault because the previous night I got drunk at a party, the hangover hadn't gone , and so the next morning BAM! I hitted against the basin! Anyway , now it's different! I got sidetracked by the new gynaecologist, Dottor Cox noticed that and he threw his rugby ball at me…it hurts sooooo bad!-

- Don't you think you're going a little too far?

-I don't think so, Mr "Oh my God Janitor torments me and he's hurting me all the time!"-

-That guy is always tormenting me!...- he justified himself- By the way I haven't seen him anywhere, yet. I wonder where he is…?- while he was wondering where the Janitor could be, Dr Cox stole JD's beeper from his pocket.

- Even though you're leaving in 30 minutes this doesn't mean you're allowed to waste your time and gossip about Britney Spears' new haircut with your buddy-buddies!-

Jd followed him, he needed his beeper to know when Turk was going to finish his shift; Dr Cox threw it far away –Cmon Lessie, catch it!- The pager slipped through all the hallway with JD going after it, and was heading towards the garbage chute (which now was just a big hole, with a "WARNING!" sing next to it).

Jd tried to jump on the beeper but the Janitor had probably waxed the floor that morning, because he slipped right into the garbage chute and disappeared. Neither Carla, Elliot or Dr Cox noticed that.

----------------

Jd rolled various meters away screaming out loud, until he hitted the floor. After few seconds later he stood up…he was feeling quite stunned. –Where the hell..?!- He now was in a wide, dusty and semidark room.

-Who are you..?- said a voice behind him; then someone grabbed his scrubs –AAAAAAAAAAAH! Please don't kill me!!!- shouted JD panicked, but then he opened his eyes and recognised him. Yeah, it was a very amused Janitor.

-That's not even funny!- said Jd while trying to get a hold of himself -Do you fell like joking?-

-I wasn't joking, actually! I thought you where some kind of alien, monster or something like that!-

-Do I look like an alien?-

-I don't know.. Maybe it's just that I've been sitting down here all day…or maybe because I've never heard a man screaming like that!- and he laughed.

-Have you been down here all day??- said Jd ignoring the insult –How did you get here?-

-Same way as you… I was waxing the floor in that hallway this morning when I suddenly heard a voice coming from the garbage chute's hole.

-Is there another person down here?!-

-No, after that I realised it was the toilet flushing coming from the upper floor, which resounded over that hole…so I leant over the hole and slipped down here because of the wax…and now here I am!- while JD was trying to wonder how one could mistake the sound of a toilet flushing with a voice, the Janitor asked him: -And you? How did you end up down here?-

-Oh well…the same way as you…almost!-

-Mentiroso! I know curly haired Doctor threw here your beeper because you acted as a girl as usual!-

-How do you possibly know that?!-

-I already told voices resound here! Now I finally know why Kelso wanted the keys for the new Korean assistant's office!- the Janitor sat on the ground with his back to the wall again.

-Hey you! Stand up! Help me to find a way to get out of here!-

-You think I didn't try before? You actually think I'm having a good time down here? Well you suppose I'd like a dark, dusty place like this just because I'm a janitor and I clean up, right?-

-Stop it I never said something like that!- Jd had a look around him – there must be a door somewhere!-

-There was one, but they walled it up…before, all the trash went down that garbage chute and fell in a big trash can; now they have built a new one and so this place was abandoned…-

-We could make some noise, so that someone will hear us!-

-well, Good Luck!!! no one is here after 8PM anymore, they're all at the upper floors…-

-If you keep sitting there and talking you're sure not helping me at all. Stand up or…-

- Or then?- said the Janitor raging.

-Or then…STAND UP!- Jd was almost begging him.

-Look, now it's late, maybe tomorrow we have some possibilities to escape, when someone will come down here…-

-I don't want to spend all night here with you!-

-Oh, I couldn't wait!- said Janitor scarcastic.

-It's a privilege for you, having the opportunity to stay with me!- said JD pimping himself – Anyway, I mean, did you have something better to do? Maybe fixing your neighbour's hot-water heater?

-Well, when that happens I'm used to do other things with my neighbour! Anyway it doesn't seem that people up there are calling the police or something to find you…-

-I bet they did! Everyone will be worried about their dear Jd!-

------------------

Meanwhile, Turk was getting out of the Hospital and having a look round he saw Carla and Elliot passing by – Hey girls, have you seen Jd?-

-No!-

-Ah well… it doesn't matter… what about hanging out together tonight?- and he walked away with the two.

-------------------

Jd was looking everywhere hopeless, when he suddenly had a brilliant idea –…The beeper! That's it: I'll page someone so that I can tell them where we are!-

-Beeper? You mean that broken stuff out there?- said the Janitor pointing at it.

-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!- shouted Jd going for the broken pager -Oh noooo! It must have broken when we fell. What are we going to do now?-

The Janitor shugged and JD snorted, and then went to sit next to him. Here they are, together in that dark basement. What a worse nightmare for Jd? Trapped in a dark and abandoned place, with the guy that was turning his life a living hell everyday! What a luck!...
