Authors note: Thanks for reviewing and giving suggestions for Dave's new
name. That's about all, enjoy this new chapter......
Dave Mallucci walked down the street. No, forget I even said that, Jason Asher walked down the street. Well that was his new name wasn't it? Jason Asher, doesn't that sound deep and meaningful? So anyways, Jason Asher walked down the street. Well actually it was more like six streets, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that he ended up outside County ER.
He looked up, unsure of how he got there. Did it even matter? He was there, he might as well go in. He had been fired, he hadn't been forbidden to enter the ER ever again. So what was stopping him from walking right in there? He couldn't be scared, could he? Jason Asher didn't get scared. Sure Dave Mallucci had been, numerous times. Mostly when he was in a relationship with a woman, but he was a new man now. He didn't feel fear. He took a deep breath and walked into the ER.
The first person to see him was Carter. With a look of what looked like amusement on his face, Carter walked right up to him and said, "Dave! Haven't seen you in a long time, how are you?"
"It's Jason,"
"What?"
"My new name is Jason, Jason Asher," Dave was taken aback when Carter started to laugh. Sure he hadn't expexted Carter to just say, "well that's great,anyone for pie?" but he hadn't expected him to laugh. Talk about rude!
When Carter finally stopped laughing he said, "So, um...Jason, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I just thought that I'd stop by say hi to all of my friends here at the ER. So how is everyone? You know, Dr Greene, Dr Weaver, Abby, those people,"
"Well, Dr Greene's dead, Abby's my girlfriend and Dr Weaver is, um Dr Weaver,"
"Dr Greene's dead?"
"He got a brain tumor, again. It was inoperable."
"Seriously? Woah, that's, that's ... big. So are you the supreme commander down here then?"
"I prefer to go by the name of Carter,"
"So, what happened to the whole, you and Abby are just friends thing?"
"Well that kinda went out the window when we started going out. So did you get a job somewhere else then?"
"I got lots of jobs, but I got fired from all of them."
"Well, if you don't have a job I happen to know that there's a place at the ER going,"
"I would try for it, but Dr Weaver has a whole 'Dave Mallucci will never work here again' thing going,"
"Well, you're not Dave Mallucci now, are you?" Carter said before walking away.

During the day Jason had seen all of his old workmates. Including a certain Jing-Mei Chen. She was as beautiful as ever and he'd actually had a civil conversation with her.
"Dave!" she'd said, "I haven't seen you in ages,"
"um, its not Dave anymore,"
"huh?"
"I um changed my name,"
She giggled, "To what?"
"Jason Asher,"
Nothing. She just stood there silently looking at him for a few seconds, before saying, "Well we've a trauma coming in now. Talk to you later?" Then she walked away.
Talk to you later. Four words, four little words that showed interest. Talk to you..... she wanted to talk to him and talking often included going out for coffee, and if he paid for the coffee it would effectively be a date. She had said 'talk to YOU'. The 'you' was important, it meant she wanted it to just be just them when they were talking, after all she hadn't said, 'Why don't you come somewhere with me and the rest of the ER gang so we can talk,". Then there was the 'later'. Later meant after work, so that meant she wanted to see him outside of work. If you overanalysed it like he had just done, she had just asked him out on a date where it would be just them to start what would be a beautiful relationship. Well she didn't waste much time!
