-Let the game begin-
It was much like any other day at Sacred Heart hospital except for the fact that Dr. Perry Cox wasn't going to be coming back to work until Wednesday—today was Monday. Jordan had wanted him to go somewhere special with her and Cox really needed a break from work. Now, Sacred Heart's bubbliest doctor, John Dorian, happened to be a little down because of this. JD had asked and asked Perry to help him on a project for the hospital and he had finally agreed to it. Since he was gone with Jordan for three days he had to wait longer to get started on it.

It's been an hour since I told JD that Dr. Cox would be gone for a few days. He isn't as upset about it anymore, considering we've been playing "Find the saltine", "Toe or finger", and Pacman in the break room all this time. Although, I can't really understand why V bear still likes that jackass after all these years of the rants and insults thrown towards him. It's nice to have my buddy to myself though plus Carla isn't working today so we both get to goof off the entire day (unless we get paged of course).
JD and Turk spent the rest of the day walking around the hospital checking on their patients. Talking about the Janitor and occasionally saying "Hooch" when they knew he was around, making him angry was always fun but unfortunately this time he jumped on Turk's back and tried to choke him to death. Thank the lord Leonard had been close by. Hooch...is crazy. He was fired and JD and Turk decided to never ever say "Hooch" again just in case.
Tuesday, JD
Tomorrow Dr. Cox is coming back to the hospital and then I'll be able to start my project. Lately I've been playing a lot of games with Turk and listening to Elliot talk to me about gossip going around the hospital. It's been a bunch of fun around here without Cox but it just doesn't feel complete without him. The rants keep everyone in line. However, right now, I'm on my way to meet Carla at the nurses station to talk about her shopping arrangements with Turk this week.
"Hey, Carla...what's wrong? Did something happen?" Carla blinked away a few tears and hugged a sad eyed Turk. She was currently too shaken up to speak so Turk did for her.
"JD,...Dr. Cox was found dead in the hotel where he and Jordan stayed last night. They can't find Jordan anywhere and don't know how Cox died." I stood shocked for a minute or two and then began running in the direction of the Morgue. I busted through the double doors and grabbed Doug by the shoulders.
"Doug! Is it true? Is Dr. Cox in here?" Doug stared down at his feet and I released my grip on him.
"Sorry, JD. I'll leave you so you can say goodbye. I'll tell you what happened when the blood results get back...see ya..." When Doug finally left I walked over to the table where my mentor lay motionless, cold and I allowed myself to cry in front of him after all these years.
The tears fell from JD's face and onto Perry's pasty cheek. He began to shake and loud sobs ripped through his frame. Though, once he squeezed his eyes shut, he felt someone gripping on his wrist. JD jumped and opened his blue eyes that gradually widened as he realized who had a hold of him. Perry Cox.
"Why, Debra. You're crying like a girl. Are you ever going to man up?" More tears made their way down JD's face causing the older man to tighten his grip.
"Newbie! Stop crying, or else!" He lifted his head from the table and stared at the doors to the morgue.
"Get out of here, Carol. I'll explain later." The brunette did as he was told and and Cox stilled. Doug entered, gave a sad look to the superior doctor, and turned to throw away the wrapper to his lollipop. When he looked back at the table he gaped causing his lollipop to fall out and onto the floor. Cox was gone.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Hello?" The old man was agitated and wanted to be left alone for a while.
"Dr. Kelso!" The yelling man on the other end of the phone caused a really bad headache.
"What the hell is it, Doug? I'm doing...chief of medicine stuff."
"Oh my god, Sir! When I went to the morgue a few minutes ago Dr. Cox was laying there one minute and was gone the next SECOND! What do I do?" Kelso's eyes dropped and lingered on the desk in front of him. Perry was dead and even though he'd never really liked him, he felt sad that the endless rants of that jackass were at an end.
"Doug! Do what you always do and find the damn body!" He slammed the phone down and went back to staring out the window where the rain fell from dark heavy clouds in the sky.
JD, finally at his apartment, walked to his bedroom and opened the door.
"Great, Elizabeth. You're here, now have a seat." Surprised to see Cox in his bedroom, JD just nodded silently and sat on the edge of his bed.
"Talk, Gladys!" JD nodded again making the red head growl and roll his eyes.
"W-why're you here, Dr. Cox?" A huge roar of thunder sounded, making the younger of the two yelp. A flash of lightning lighting up the room for seconds, casting shadows across the faces of the two men. One's face completely calm and collected the other face however, a little terrified.
"I'm here because 1) Jordan bit me last night and left me there to most likely die and 2) You're the only one stupid enough to believe that...I'm a vampire. The rain began hitting the windows with great force and another boom was heard throughout the gray sky.
