OMG! I actually wrote more! A/N at the bottom.

Ch 8 The Search Part 2

The more places that George looked, the more frustrated he got; it didn't help when Karev was being his usual smart mouth self while O'Malley was looking around the gynecology department.

"What's the matter O'Malley? Still can't find that rat the red head was moaning about? Why don't you set some traps or something? Maybe find a cat and follow the puss around until it finds what you're looking for? I mean you already have plenty of experience with that don'cha?"

"Don't start with me Alex, I have enough on my plate trying to find this Rufus without your oh-so-insightful 'help' in the matter" George snarled at Alex.

"Well, if you're going to be that way about it, then fine. Oh, and hey, maybe you should check to make sure that Bailey isn't in the room next time." Karev replied, then turned away to check a patient's chart.

"What! How in the-. Hey, you know what?" George stammered a through a comeback.

"What?"

"I. You- I. ARGGH!"

Karev's reply of, "Oh, good one! That went straight to the heart that time!," followed O'Malley as he stormed down the stairs to go check everything all over again. When he had reached the landing of the staircase below the floor of the gynecology department, he had the strangest feeling, almost like he was being watched. He looked behind him, but saw nothing. Shrugging it off, he continued his set path of finding the elusive little creature known as Rufus all the while, muttering under his breath.

Unbeknownst to George, two sets of identical eyes looked at each other after the man had completed his travels in the stairwell and had left through the door.

"Hicka bicka boo?"

"Hoo-sha."

End Chapter.

I have not abandoned this fic, I just have not been inspired over the summer, and also working. To let you know, I will ignore the new season of Grey's and the graduation episode of KP for the purposes of this fic. BTW, there are timeline notes at the beginning of chapter 4 if anyone forgot.

Now, let's peek ahead and see who's gonna show for upcoming chapters:

"HEY GAS FOR BRAINS!!!!!!!"

"Whoa, Shego! Babe, you're looking whu-chaaaaa!!!" Ed pantomimed playing a guitar, "Seriously."

"Mmm-hmm, yeah whatever. I need a ride, like now."

"Well sure babe, where too?"

"Seattle."

See y'all next time.
