Authors note: This takes place somewhere is season 9. I live in England, so I have to wait for ages to get season 9! It is centred around Dr. Dave and is a strange little fic. Let me just say Carter and Abby are together so don't even bother reading maggiemay, i have no time for your petty comments.

Dave Malucci. It was just a name and after all what is in a name? Well a curse for one thing. He always got fired, it didn't matter where he was working it just happened. He had thought that he was safe in his job at County. He thought he had finally found a place where he belonged, a place where he was an integral part of a well oiled machine. He had screwed that one up, there was no question about it. They were working without him, they didn't need him.

People blamed it on his personality, but Dave knew it was something else, a curse. It was the name, people heard the name Dave Malucci and they fired him. It was a thing that happened and he had never questioned it. Chicks were lucky, he figured. They got married and they got rid of the name and any curse that had gone with it. Then an idea dawned on him, he could change his name if he wanted. He could get rid of the curse and become a new man. A new, reliable man. He could get a job, where people would depend upon him. He could get a woman who would depend on him. He could hold the world in his hands.



Sorry this is so short, i couldn't continue because i don't have a name for him! Please e-mail me at cutecarrie2@hotmail.com with your name suggestions, i need a first name AND surname. Or alternatively you can write in your reviews *hinthint* a name which you think would suit Dave.

Thanks xxxCarriexxx
