"DAVE!" Mark called,"Dr.Malucci!!"

Elizabeth touched his shoulder,"Curtain 2?"

Mark nodded,"I wonder what's up with him"

"Hmmm?"

"Dave" Mark frowned,"something's up"

"I'm getting coffee" Deb pushed through the lounge doors

Carter waved over his head as he walked off

She smirked,"Hey Dave"

Dave opened his eyes slowly,"Jing Mei"

Her eyes darted to the spot on his shirt."I found something I was
going to give you"Deb put her mug down on the small table as she dug
around in her coat pocket."I found it by the admit desk"

He blinked at the stark white envelope resting in her small hand."Did
you read it??" he growled

"No,of course not"

"Liar" he grabbed it out her hand quickly


Deb stumbled back with shock,"I..."

"Did you stand around and read it with Carter,and share a laugh on my
behalf??" Dave yelled,tearing up the paper

Deb watched the spot on his shirt start to spread

"Nosy little bitch" He threw the remants of the letter at her."Poor
Dave.Poor patheic Dave"

Tears fell slowly down her cheeks."I'd never do that" Deb said
quietly,keeping her eyes on the spreading stain

"KERRY!"

"Good morning Mark" she called

"Kerry, I need to talk to you!"

"If it's about Malucci" Kerry caught Mark's eye,"Take a number"

"Oh shit" he muttered

"Dr.Greene" Chuny called,"Exam 3 is crashing!"
**************************************************************
"Dave" Deb reached her hand out shakily,"Can we talk??Please?"

"YOU READ IT!" he screamed

"Noooo..." s he reached out to touch the dark spot on his shirt when
Dave spun around and punched his locker door."I Just want to talk"
Deb said quietly

"Im not a FUCKING psych patient!" Dave yelled
