Nurse Juliet's POV

Goddammit! I am trying hard to focus on inserting an IV line into my patient's vein but my phone keeps on vibrating in my pocket.

Who is the stupid person who's calling me nonstop at this hour of the evening? I just want to get this job done so that I can finish my shift and go home to relax and unwind.

Thankfully I was able to get the IV line going and I could now start the patient on his IV antibiotic.

I quickly went into the ladies room and fished out my phone from my pocket.

Why wasn't I surprised that it was Kimmon calling me nonstop at this hour of the night???

"Juliet, help me pleeeaaassseee!" he was actually, literally crying on the phone.

"What happened, Kimmon?" I asked patiently.

"I killed him, Juliet! I fucking killed him! No, I mean I literally fucked him to death!!!" I had to hold the phone away from my ear. Kimmon was literally screaming into my phone.

I drew a sharp breath. I had to keep my wits about me.

"Kimmon, place a finger against the side of his neck and tell me if you can feel something throbbing against your finger."

"Okay, wait ......... yes, something is pulsing against my finger."

I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Okay, look at his chest, is it going up and down in a breathing motion?" I asked him.

"Okay, wait ......... yes, his chest is moving up and down."

"Okay, do you have anything around you that has a strong smell, like an ammonia solution, or a jar of vapor rub or an alcohol swab?"

"I can bring my armpit close to his nose."

"Stop your foolishness right now, Kimmon, you're trying to revive Dr. K for heaven's sake!"

"Okay, wait .................. okay I found an alcohol swab in my first aid kit."

"Okay, take the swab out of the package and bring it close to his nose.

"Okay wait ......... hoohoohoo, sweetheart, you're alive again! I resurrected you! Hoohoohoo ........."

Okay, leave it to Kimmon to give the credit all to himself, as if he didn't need me to calm him down and to guide him in reviving Dr. K back to consciousness.

I ended the call because even if I could still hear him on the phone, he was no longer talking to me, his attention was already all on Dr. K.

Just as I had clocked out of my shift, my phone started to ring again.

Who could it be this time. I sighed before pulling my phone out of my pocket. Wait, Dr. K is calling me!

"Yes, Dr. K?'

"Nurse Juliet, is it true that you guided Kimmon through the steps of reviving me?"

"Yes, Dr. K."

"And is it true that he told you the reason why I lost consciousness?"

Oh shit, why were these two psychos involving me in their private affair?

"Nurse Juliet? ......?"

I was starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Y...yes, Dr. K."

"And is it true that even before I lost consciousness, you had already been on his phone and that you could hear all the sounds that I was making???"

Even while he was talking, a text from Kimmon came in telling me to say yes to Dr. K's question.

I shook my head in disbelief. Why in bloody hell did I ever allow myself to get involved with these two loonies?

"Dr. K, I'm being paged, I have to go, we're having a code blue right now, gotta go, sorry."

With that, I ended the call and vowed to myself that I was not going to answer any of their calls for the rest of the night. I needed to keep my sanity intact.

Copter's POV

I lunged at P'Kim.

"You are a nutcase, a basket case... a hopeless lunatic...." I was hitting his chest as I was talking, "... how am I going to face Nurse Juliet on Monday morning???"

Suddenly he was howling with laughter, holding on to his sides, laughing like a maniac.

Then he turned serious.

"Did you honestly think that I would do something like that? Did you really have such a low opinion of my intelligence quotient level?"

"To be honest, I don't know what to think of you anymore, P'Kim," I replied, "you're always full of surprises, no surprises is too mild a word, shocks, yeah that's it, you shock me all the time, to the point of unconsciousness."

The word 'unconsciousness' suddenly started to give P'Kim an idea.

He was smiling naughtily at me... advancing slowly ...

"No! Stay right there! Don't you come any closer!"

I looked around wildly for a weapon and my eyes landed on the pizza cutter.

I picked it up and brandished it at him.

"Okay, okay," he said, his arms up in the air.

And then he lowered his hands with a beckoning motion.

"Come to me, come to me, sweetheart, I want you to come to me of your own free will."

And then as I slowly advanced towards him, "no, no, no, drop the pizza cutter!"

Oh, shit, I had forgotten that the pizza cutter was still in my hand.

As soon as the pizza cutter fell to the floor, he grabbed my neck and started to kiss me.

He kissed me deeply, passionately, as if we had been separated for a very long time and was seeing each other again after all the long, lonely years.

I kissed him back, I paid him back kiss for kiss.

We were so into the kiss that it was for some time that we did not realize that one of our phones was ringing.

P'Kim looked at his phone. The screen was blank. It was my phone that was ringing.

I went to pick up my pants from the floor and took out my phone from my pants pocket.

I looked at the screen of my phone.

It was Emily. What the hell ...
