Change of Place
At 5:00 AM, Tyler leaves his apartment, all his supplies ready to pull the first prank. There's not a lot, and it can fit inside a cookie tin.
Of course, the entire Caduceus staff is involved in this, aside from Victor, of course. The ones who are majorly involved are Derek, Angie, Leslie, Stephen, Greg, Cybil, Robert, and yes, even Sidney. Even directors have to poke fun at their temper-throwing staff member, don't they? If you were Sidney, you'd need some fun, too.
After days of careful observations, Tyler has realized that Victor always arrives at work at 5:30 AM sharp, an hour before he is supposed to arrive. But of course, Victor never follows the rules. Then again, Tyler doesn't either, and he's just being the world's biggest hypocrite.
But he is a hypocrite.
So, that day, Tyler arrives at Caduceus, objects in hand. Cybil, who has waken up early to assist Tyler, greets him at the entrance to Victor's lab door. They have a twenty-minute window, which should be sufficient enough to pull the prank they are about to do.
"Heylo, Iron Vixen," says Tyler, grinning profusely.
"Shut up, Butterhead," Cybil replies, not even thrown by Tyler's comment, and by her own insult, referring to Tyler's mass of golden blonde hair. "Get cracking, or we'll never finish."
"Okay," Tyler whines. "You know what to do, right?"
"Do you?" Cybil mocks, snatching the stuff from Tyler's hands. "You get started on preparing the new sign. I'll cut off the old one."
"What makes you in charge?" Tyler protests. "It was my idea!"
"Shut up and do what I say!" Cybil snaps. Tyler realizes that now isn't the time to provoke Cybil, so he takes the screws and begins to insert them into the holes of the plates.
A few minutes later, Cybil has successfully unscrewed the original sign off Victor's lab room, and puts out a hand. Tyler, accustomed to Cybil's silent way of doing things, puts the plate in Cybil's hand gingerly, as if she will take the plate and smack him with it.
"What are you afraid of?" Cybil smirks, beginning the process of screwing on the new plate.
"You," says Tyler honestly. Then, after a while, "Victor."
"Why bother doing this in the first place, then?" Cybil snorts, finishing screwing on the first screw.
"Because it's fun making fun of him," Tyler replies evenly. "And he can't catch up to me."
"But I can," says Cybil.
"But you won't."
Cybil gives Tyler one of her scary Iron Vixen grins. "Who says so?"
Secretly, without Tyler watching, she slips on the last screw.
Tyler's face pales. "Oh, no you won't," he whispers.
"I never said I'll tattle," Cybil smiles cruelly. "But while it's fun for you to make fun of Victor… it has always been fun for me to make fun of you."
Just then, they hear the distant footfalls of the floor below them. Both doctors immediately silence as they hear someone wheeze their way up the stairs.
"Run," Tyler mouths, and they quickly gather their supplies and dart away from the corridor. But just before he leaves, Tyler snaps a webcam to one of the supporting beams of the ceiling. There is no way he'll want to miss Victor's reaction.
Once he's absolutely positive that the webcam is hidden to Victor, as long as he doesn't look up, the footfalls are getting rapidly closer. Tyler runs off to catch up with Cybil, and once safe in the break room, they collapse onto the couch as Tyler flips on his phone and shows Cybil the video broadcasting from the webcam.
Victor Niguel approaches his lab cautiously. Someone had been here. He knows it, for he had heard footsteps and talking while downstairs. No one gets up this early to go to work… apart from himself. Maybe it was one of the patients.
Victor shrugs, and yawns tiredly, pushing open the door to his lab. His head bangs against the door's metallic sign, however, and he freezes.
My sign doesn't hang this low, he thinks. His eyes slither upwards, and with shock, find that his sign has been changed. What used to say LABORATORY now says…
WOMEN'S BATHROOM.
Laughing at the monstrosity of Victor's face as it burns purple with rage, Tyler Chase doubles over. Somewhere, Victor hears his cries of happiness and that only angers him even more.
"You should get out of here," Cybil advises.
Tyler nods, brushing tears out of his eyes. "Th-Thanks," he chokes, between bursts of laughter. "Oh man… Derek's gonna love this…"
"Go," says Cybil firmly. Tyler suddenly realizes that he doesn't want to miss the fun of Victor facing off with the Iron Vixen, and crawls under a couch instead.
"What floats your boat," Cybil sighs, rolling her eyes.
Half a minute later, Victor barges into the break room, his face not quite its original color. "TYLER CHASE, YOU SON OF A BANSHEE, COME OUT NOW!"
"Still quoting Harry Potter?" asks Cybil casually, crossing her hands, swinging one leg in front of the other.
Victor's face turns paler than a blanket of fresh snow. "U-Uh… Um… I…" The Iron Vixen is the only person he fears… next to Sidney.
"You can get out now," says Cybil, rising. From his position beneath the couch, Tyler tries to bite back his laughter.
Victor backs slowly towards the break room's door, trying to avoid Cybil at all costs.
"C-Can I at least have my room plate back?" he stammers.
"Do you think I did it?" Cybil snarls. Tyler has to admit, she is one heck of a liar.
"No, no, no!" Victor squeals.
Cybil slaps him across the face. Victor turns and runs, the ex-policewomen right on his heels. And from under the couch, Tyler Chase has been recording this incident the whole time.
