Dr. Zamo

Game

The team, that now consisted of Kutner, Foreman, Chase, Trixie and Katya, was given a new case. After doing the regular tests, everyone agreed that it was an infectious disease. Like she frequently did, the M.D asked Kutner and Trixie to break into the patient's house and see if there were any suspect substances which could've led to his sickness. This was obviously illegal, but Trixie was willing to do it to stay in Katya's team. Kutner had already done this before, so he had no trouble opening the door with a piece of metal. Once inside they separately checked every room, took samples of mold and rummaged through every drawers. A few minutes later, a police siren went off in the distance. It didn't alarm Kutner nor Trixie, but the sound got closer and closer until it was right in front of the house.

"Mattel! The neighbors called the cops! Get out" Kutner shouted. Trixie rushed to where he was and the man was already climbing through a window. The blonde tried to follow him, but her body simply could not fit in the small opening. Three police officers barged in the room and arrested her. She was put in a jail cell and spent the night on a cold concrete bench, cursing Kutner for his cowardness. Trixie also blamed Katya since she was the one who sent her to do the burglary.

Early in the morning an officer came to take her out. She lead her to the reception and Katya was there, filling the papers to bail Trixie out. Something about seeing her in handcuffs made the M.D feel hot, even if Trixie gave her a death stare. She followed Katya outside without saying a word, not responding to Katya's greeting. They settled in the older woman's car and drove to the hospital.

"Not even a thank you Barbie?" Katya asked.
"The warders commented on my body for hours and when I told them I had no interest in men they called me a disgusting dyke for the rest of the night. Besides if you keep calling me Barbie I'll tell Cuddy you're harassing me" Trixie replied, pissed off.
"Oh you're lesbian?" Katya perked up.
"Is this really the only thing that matters? I won't let you bully me because I'm the new one"
"Okay okay doll" Katya said with a smile, surprised but pleased to know Trixie could be feisty like that.

Trixie knew she had to be tough or else Katya would step over her. She wanted to show her that she was not the one to play with. They joined the team in their office and Trixie shot another death look at Kutner this time.

"I'm sorry Mattel, the police wouldn't have been nice to me I had to go" He explained.
"I only accept apologies in cash" Trixie scoffed.

Kutner pulled out his wallet and gave her a 20 dollar bill. She began folding it when a 100 dollar bill fell in front of her on the table. Trixie looked up and realized Katya had thrown it, and she was glad that her boss showed some respect to her. However she maintained her impassive face and grabbed it, then tucked the bills in her bra. She saw her boss stare at her breasts furtively before she went on to talk about their patient. Everyone proposed their ideas and Katya rejected all of them except for Trixie's. Her hypothesis was right and the case was quickly solved. Trixie was proud of herself, Katya was now considering her views and they hadn't had any bickering yet, whereas all her colleagues constantly fought with their boss. She was still a little bit starstruck when she was around Katya, she looked up to her since she entered medical school. She read all her articles and was always amazed by her mind. Trixie remembered the first time she saw Katya, it was a pixelated picture from Wikipedia but she could tell the woman was pretty. At first she didn't even know Katya was a woman, since she signed her work with her last name. Trixie was happy to learn this, because there weren't much women in high rank positions like hers. Katya was sort of her role model, and it was crazy to think she was finally working by her side.

"We have 4 potential new patients. I want each of you to pick one, and we'll study the case of the person who wins my game. Plus, the losers will have to do my consultations' hours" Katya announced to her team on Monday. Everyone sighed and started looking at the documents.

"What's the game?" Trixie asked, excited to be able to compete with her teammates, and obviously beat them all.
"Each of you will be assigned a rat. Until Friday, you have to make sure it doesn't escape, dies, and that Cuddy doesn't see it." Katya replied and set down a cage with a white, grey, brown, and black rat on the table. She opened it and placed a rodent in front of each member.

"All right. You need to have the rat on you at all times during the day, no cheating. Now go do your personal duties"

Trixie removed one of her shoes and took out her sock. She put the rat in it and placed it between her boobs while the others were trying to figure out how to hide the animal. Trixie stood up and went to the pediatric department where she worked sometimes. She had no trouble keeping the rat in place other than taking several restroom breaks to check if it was okay. On the second day of Katya's game, Kutner's rat jumped out of his chest pocket when he bent down, and ran away. He tried to catch it but the rodent managed to pass through the doors and leave the hospital. On Wednesday Trixie had some free time in her schedule so she decided to sit in the office and work on her pediatric cases while letting her rat walk around. Katya's own office was attached to the team's one, only a glass wall and some blinds separating them. She sat at her desk after her smoke break and looked over to Trixie. She was reading some documents, writing things down on a notebook and biting her lip from time to time. Katya stared at her for long minutes, and she didn't break the eye contact when Trixie looked up at her. The younger blonde moved her gaze back down and Katya noticed how her cheeks turned red. She smiled to herself and went out to check on her other teammates.

When she came back an hour later, Trixie wasn't at the table anymore. She was on all fours, her head on the floor looking under a shelf. Katya cursed under her breath while her mind filled with all types of scenarios as she gazed down at Trixie in this position.

"Fuck! You little bitch" Trixie swore, and stood back up with the rat in hand and a bloody finger.

"Having any trouble?" Katya asked when Trixie faced her.
"Oh not at all."

Trixie put the rodent in his sock, then back in her cleavage and sucked on her injured finger.

"I've never wished to be a rat before but..." Katya trailed off. Trixie rolled her eyes and put her white coat on before leaving the room. She was convinced Katya's flirting was just her way of being annoying.

Foreman's rat got thrown outside when a nurse found him in a trash can. It was between Chase and Trixie now, and Katya loved to see the competitive spirit rise up. The two of them had to do a lumbar puncture together, and when they were done they walked back to the diagnostic's department. Trixie put one hand on Chase's shoulder to stop him when they were in front of Cuddy's office.

"Wait. Before we get back with the others I wanted to ask you something." Trixie said. Chase nodded. She looked up at him with her best fuck me eyes and leaned in to whisper something in his ear. She knew men were easy to play with, especially Chase who had been struggling to look at her in the eyes since she started working with him. While Chase was probably losing his mind Trixie reached in his pocket and pulled out his rat. She threw it in front of Cuddy's office right as she walked out. The woman immediately gasped as she saw it and called a janitor to put it out.

Trixie smiled at Chase who was standing still in disbelief.

"I won!" She teased sticking her tongue out between her teeth, and ran to announce it to the rest of the team.

"Chase you suck! We bet money on you" Foreman sighed, giving 10 dollars to Katya, and Kutner did the same.
"I knew the doll would win" Katya said with a grin.
"Now I want one loser to do my 2 hours of consultations, one to bring me a redbull and the other to go buy me cigarettes." She added. Kutner ran to the vending machine and Foreman grabbed the money Katya handed. Chase accepted his fate and went to do the consultations.

"Go take a walk" Katya ordered to Kutner as he came back with the soda can. He shrugged and left the room, knowing there was no point in asking why.

"Finally. Just me and you doll." The M.D said. Trixie quizzically raised one eyebrow but Katya just asked what case Trixie chose. They discussed about it and presented their ideas to the team when everyone was reunited. Katya decided to follow Trixie's hypothesis, and as the weeks and cases went by, it became a recurring thing. Katya always agreed with Trixie, which exasperated all her other colleagues. But they didn't dare to say it out loud, knowing it would cause another unnecessary argument.
