Chapter 5 – Know your enemy to know yourself

AN – the Italics mean a flash back or this symbol

"Well first things first, better explain how on earth Cox and Kelso were interns at the same time. Kelso had tried to be guitarist before he turned to medicine later; his first love was the guitar then his misses. He always called her "bunny" as a term of endearment but now that's been ripped apart by medicine. Now all he has to do is to rub two bucks together and she'll come a'runnin'" Coughed Starr.

"You've got to be joking Kelso calling his wife Bunny!" laughed JD, after five minutes he still couldn't stop himself from laughing.

"Yeah, he did. You should of seen them together, one fiery as hell and the other as easy to push over as a drunk…."joked Starr.

As JD's mind was flying with images of a young Kelso and a fiery girl friend.

Starr continued with "mind you, he was like that most of the time" sighed Starr, "would he gone from intern to dean of medicine faster if he hadn't drunk so much"

At that statement Starr stared dejectedly at the wall…

-------------------------

It was ten years ago Starr had just started his night shift with Kelso and Cox hanging around him like to lost puppies, sucking up to their mum.

beep beep came the sound of Starr's pager "Starr urgent in ICU! EMERGENCY!"

"looks like Mr Tillz's heart is playing up again, so you two be good little girls and off you go on your rounds, whilst I'll sort this out" shouted Starr as he ran off towards the ICU.

"Finally he's gone" sighed Kelso as he took a shot from his hip flask, that he had been hiding from Starr "that's better." He gasped after one sip "Finally feel better than I have done all day".

"That's only because that's you first shot of the evening. If you carry on doing it, I'll tell Starr before you get some one killed!" warned Cox not knowing how soon his words would come true…

--------------------------------------

"After I had sorted out Mr Tillz's heart, I returned to find Cox with steam pouring out of his ears and blasting at an tipsy Kelso, I really should have checked it up…but…but" Starr just cracked up into sobs "If I had bloody checked…if he was drunk…I would of… sent him home! And she…she…wouldn't have died!"

"Who wouldn't have died!" screamed JD; he was shaking the old man's shoulders now willing him to say, even though his hearts sank to his feet.

As his heart took a trip to the basement JD felt the hairs pricked on the back off his neck. The last time they did that he his dad had came into school and told him that his mum had died in a car accident…
