Jenifer Kari Philips

Jenifer Kari Philips was a PD/H/PE teacher who was born in Begs New South Wales. She was married to Dr Quinton and worked along him in the PD/H/PE department. Kari worked along with Michelle, Kari, Phil, Quinton, HG. Kari later retired from teaching and became a best selling author and came back for a teaching stint when Quinton went to Canada to be with his son and even more, Jen wanted to go back.

Young life
Kari was born and raised in Begs, and also went to school in Begs. Kari as a kid always wanted to be a teacher so she decided after she finished school to be a teacher. Kari was a polite, friendly person who didn't have any enemies. Kari was known as the most friendliest people in the town at the age of that time. Kari was also known for her creative writing skills.

Start to teaching
Kari started teaching in hear early 20s at Begs high School. Kari worked along side Hullen (Before he was arrested), Michelle and Phil, Kari was the youngest of the staff but the most experienced. Kari taught all her class with her own knowledge instead of what the Board of Directors had made the school use. Kari when teaching had the flare of a PE teacher, but she was her own woman and her own self in the world of teaching. she was one of a kind.

Teaching Veteran
After teaching for 10 years Kari was a veteran of the teaching community. Kari even became a Learning Advisor for one of the years. Kari said goodbye to her 'babies' that she looked over for those 5 years they spent there. Kari even said she would do the job again, but like a group like them.

Being rescued
As Quinton knew he was going to have to serve his time as a year advisor but he knew it wouldn't last long. Hullen walked in on Quinton who said "Quinton. It's time to be a year advisor for year 8. They need a figure who will listen to you." Quinton then said "I know. But it's going to be hard to be the chief of surgery and all the work that has to be done." Hullen then said "It's up to you, you can do it and get it over with. Or the legacy will continue." Quinton then said "You're not joking this time. Neither am I. I'll do the job." Quinton only lasted a year as the year advisor as he couldn't help anymore. He parted with all his wisdom to everyone. Quinton told the year "I'm sorry everyone, but I can't be the year advisor anymore. As your just a hard year group to try and part any wisdom on. You're a good year, but a hard one to advise. Hullen will chose your next advisor." Quinton walked out and back into his office where Hullen walked in and said "You tried Quinton, it's a hard job you know." "I tried...I tried. I don't need your pity. I can do whatever I can do to make people healthy again, but I can't help year 8 into senior years. There's a problem there." Quinton opened his briefcase and pulled out notes from his patients. "See I can help this person with hamstring cramps, but not someone with a family problem.." "Quinton..Quinton stop. I didn't mean that, but it doesn't matter. Not all teachers can't help it. It's not always an easy job." Quinton then said "I'm taking time off. As long as I need." Quinton then wrote on his door "Time off until further notice." Quinton then put his folders back into his case and said "You'll know where I am going to be." "Quinton. You're going to quit aren't you?" Quinton then said "No. Not yet." "But Quinton what will the bo--" "You say board and I'll rip your tongue out. That is why I'm taking time off. Because you can't stop saying board in every sentence to me!" Quinton rushed his hand across the desk and said "I'll see you later." Quinton then walked out of his office leaving Hullen to wonder what just happened. Quinton was so annoyed he drove 4 hours to the Board of Teachers Education Centre (BTEC) in Hyten. Quinton walked into the Board office where he said "You." "Dr Quinton. Welcome to BTEC." "Put me on the phone to Hullen. I want to tell him in a lower voice to stop saying "The Board." in every sentence.." The head then said "You can impersonate me?" "Sure can." "Alright go ahead." Quinton phoned the number and in a lower voice said "Is this Mr. Hullen?" "Sure is. The names Gregor." Quinton then chuckled to himself. "It's the Board. And we'd like you to stop with saying Board in every sentence. Because the school also has a former nurse of Paedatrics." "We do?" "Trish Merriweather." "Oh we do.." "You're an idiot Hullen. I've been informed Dr Quinton Philips returned to work at the hospital, and he is unhappy with the way you are treating him." "He never told me that." "He wouldn't tell you but he phoned us saying he wasn't happy about the pressure by saying that the board is more important then his job. You are now to leave him alone." "Well alright. But one thing?" What is it Gregor?" "I'll stop annoying him when you can fix the floor in the English Staffroom!" "Agreed." Quinton then said to Hullen "Alright anymore annoying Quinton and you'll be sent to the worst school in the state." "No..Not Huapoen?" "Yes that school." Quinton then hung up and said "He'll leave me alone if you fix the floor in the English staffroom. I agreed that you'll fix it and make sure you do. I have lives to save." Quinton said goodbye and went to the hospital were he was in the operating room and he met Dr Babcock (his future wife and love interest at this current time.) She was a trained surgeon and anesthetist, but this time she accidently overdosed the patient on a drug to help the patient stay calm and asleep during surgery. Quinton said "How long have you been doing this Doctor?" "3 years. But this was an accident. A one off. I swear it will never happen again.." Quinton smiled and said "It's ok. You're kind of cute." "Quinton.." said Jack who was in the room with him said "Dr Babcock's brother is a Neurologist of Coruscant." "I like mysterious.." Babcock smiled and said "I like you to Dr Quinton." Quinton then said "I'm also a PD teacher at Begs high, but I'm on leave their until further notice. I had a fallout with Hullen and him saying the word 'board' in every sentence. eg. "Quinton the board will not like this.. Quinton the board isn't yours." That just annoyed me to the core.." 4 months later Quinton still didn't return to the school after half a year off. Quinton was in surgery doing an "Anchor Reconstruction" on a former teammate, until the phone. "Quinton it's Hullen." "Put him on Speaker." "Quinton. Are you coming back to the school?" "Give me time to think, about it a little longer." "Look Quinton you have to come in." Quinton then said "Can it wait? I have to finish this ACL Anchor reconstruction." "It can wait, but come back here when your ready. Goodbye." "Bye." the phone went to the tone and Quinton threw the scalpel across the room causing him to lose focus and say "I wonder what he wants.." "Quinton. We'll finish up here. You go and see what he wants." "Are you sure? Jack are you sure you want to finish off this surgery?" "Quinton we're sure. Go." Quinton took of his gloves and said "This better be worth it."Quinton then grabbed his recorder and said "Surgery taken over by Dr Jack Philips, finishing up anchors and then removing equipment." Quinton turned off his recorder and placed it in his pant pocket. Quinton nodded and said "See you guys later." Quinton walked out of the operating room and got changed into his suit. He changed recordings in his recorder and went back to the school. Hullen rushed up to Quinton who was still walking into the school when Hullen said "We need your help" Quinton hit his pants where his recorder was and turned it on. "And why should I help you?" "Because the bottom of H block has collapsed." "Yeah and you should wait for the proper people to get into and save those kids." Quinton...Your 'flame' is still in there. She is the only one unaccounted for. Some students are still trapped, but if you find your 'flame' you will find your kids.. "Who is my flame?" "You know.." "No.. Not Kari.." Hullen nodded and said "Help is coming but they'll be awhile. Help the kids first and you can save Kari." "But I found the woman of my dreams.. It's Lauren.." "Save your colleague and leave your love interest out of this." Quinton then went over to the hole that was opened and said "Wish me luck." Quinton was in the debris pile which was the lower half of H block. Quinton pulled out his recorder and said "Is this even legal? Send a doctor into a debris pile. Pretty sure, this is not legal." Quinton put his recorder back in his pants and yelled "Is anyone here? Can anyone hear me?" "Quinton. Is that you?" "Yes. It is." Quinton walked over to the debris and picked it up, it was Kari. "Kari.." "Quinton.." The two looked in each others eyes and they kissed each other. "You're my apparent flame." Kari chuckled and said "That'd be right! Haha. Quinton you have the best sense of humour." Quinton helped Kari up and said "Are you hurt?" Kari nodded with "That debris across my legs probably broke one of them." Kari tried to put pressure on her leg but the pain was incredible. Quinton held her injured leg and said "The hole I can through was tiny, we try to move any of this debris, and the rest of the building could collapse. I am going to have to carry you through." As Quinton carried Kari out of the building he placed her on the ground as help came. "Quinton, I didn't think you were actually going to do that!" said Hullen. As a police officer came and held handcuffs in his hands Quinton said "There are still more kids in there. The building is still unstable!" Hullen snuck away and went to his office. Quinton was arrested, but not without giving Kari a kiss first." Quinton was taken to court and all his things were seized. "Quinton Philips how do you plead?" "Not guilty." "Dr Quinton you realise the ramifications of what you did to save a 'flame' of your love life." Quinton then grabbed out his recorder and said "I carry a recorder around, everytime I do surgery. So.. I recorded the conversation between me and Hullen. Hullen ran away when I was arrested." Just as Quinton said that Hullen was brought in, in handcuffs and had a smirk on his face. Quinton pressed play on his recorder and the court listened to it: "Quinton...We need you here. The school needs you.." "How about no? I do need to remember about my job here about the hospital.." "Who cares about them! Quinton come on!" "I don't want to be arrested for saving a kids life without being in a hospital first." "But the board Quinton!" "STOP mentioning the board! I don't care about the board. The board wants me to do my job! BOTH OF THEM.." "Whinge whinge whine. you better get back here. Or you won't have a teaching job here any more." the recorder stopped and Hullen laughed. Quinton then said "He was responsible for the building collapse. I was arrested after saving my crush.." Hullen then said "Yeah, and I was the one who put mold in the sink and broke all the windows.." Hullen then realized what he said "Oops." Quinton then stood up and said "I knew you hated me! You used me!" The judge then said "Quinton is innocent all charges are dropped. But Hullen.. Hullen.." "What your honor?" "You are to relinquish your role as Deputy principal, because the entire court finds you guilty! I sentence you to 34 years in prison. And the role of Deputy at the school will go to Hector Galloway. Retired head of History." Quinton was released from his handcuffs and went over to HG and said "So HG, you don't plan on getting me arrested again do you?" HG laughed and said "Unlike Hullen I respect you and your decisions. I followed your career in the NOL. And I actually care." Quinton smiled and said "That's all I wanted to hear." Quinton walked out and he walked home.

In front of a crowd
"Does anyone else have any messages to add. Before we have lunch?" said HG. Quinton raised his hand and walked up to the front and said to HG "Hold the mic for me." "Sure thing." Quinton then said "I wanted this day to be perfect. Everything is perfect." Kari slowly started to walk over. "Kari.." the school then went quiet as Quinton got down on one knee. "Will you marry me?" Kari rushed over and hugged Quinton and said "Yes! I will Quinton!" Quinton and Kari embraced and the school stood up all clapping at once. HG saying "Well this is first here! Congratulations on Karton!! Kari and Quinton! A big round of applause." Quinton then said "When we meet all those years ago, it made my heart weak with love. I could never stop thinking about you. I'd be in surgery and I'd think about you, every day and night." Kari then said "I love you even more Quinton. With that beard is even better." Kari chuckled and Quinton put the ring on her finger.

Wedding
Quinton decided to hold the wedding at the school on the oval, during the weekend. Quinton was allowed to after he invited the members of BTEC to his own wedding and including the students,teachers and the entire town. Quinton got to the school first and waited like the rest of the crowd. "I'm truly ready." he said to himself "I am ready. I retired from the NOL. I found the woman I want to share my life with. She is the one." Quinton turned to face the crowd which were all looking very hungry, but they all loved a wedding. A couple of minutes later Kari arrived in a long lovely white dress which made Quinton smile from ear to ear. "I love you." he said under his breath. Kari walked down the isle with HG and Trish by her side. As she got to Quinton the two locked eyes and turned to face each other. The reverend then said "We are gathered here today to announced the love of two friends of ours. We wish these two a long relationship and a great marriage. Its been 4 months since Quinton proposed infront of the school, now he's getting married in one..Well something you don't see everyday." As they continued "Do you Quinton take Kari in sickness and in health til death do you part?" "I do" said Quinton. "And do you Kari take Quinton in sickness and in health til death do you part?" "I do." "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss each other." Quinton and Kari embraced and kissed for a very long minute, then Quinton said "We thank you all for coming today and now we are those love birds called 'Karton' or my favourite 'Quinari'" Quinton chuckled and said "A special thanks to BTEC for allowing this wedding to take place." The head of BTEC saying "Our pleasure. We're suckers for weddings." Kari then whispered to Quinton "Time to throw the bouquet." "Do it. Lovely." Kari smiled and kissed Quinton, and then threw the bunch of flowers into the crowd. The flowers landed with Trish. Who then said "I'm already married.." "We know" Trish threw them again and they landed with the ring shop owner. "Yes!". Quinton then said "The food is ready if you want it. I trust you will. Go and have a good time." The crowd dispersed very quickly, Kari and Quinton both went to the reception but all they did was stare at each other. Quinton then twitted "Married the woman of my dreams. #Quinari #Karton #Married." which then had 300 retweets and favourites. After the reception finished Quinton decided he needed to retire from Orthopaedics for good.

Honey Moon
Quinton and Kari both took 3 weeks of long-service leave for their honeymoon. Quinton finally had his chance to relax after deciding to retire from medicine and Kari finally had the chance to relax after a stressful couple of weeks. Quinton then said "I think I want to return to medicine." "What as though Quinton?" "Chief of Surgery. Don't have to be on call 24-7 no worries, type crap onto the computer. and sleep if to tired.." "Still. I think teaching is the way to go Quinton." Quinton nodded this time and said "I want to know. Are you ready to start a family?" Kari smiled and said "I always wanted to start a family. But I can't.." "Why not?" "Because..of my ovaries." Kari almost started to cry. Quinton hugged Kari and said "It doesn't matter now. We have plenty of time. It doesn't have to be now." Kari then said "I always wanted to hold a little one in my arms. I never got the chance after the building collapse.." Quinton then said "You were pregnant when the building collapsed?" Kari nodded and said "It was when you were arrested I miscarried." Kari was in tears. "I lost him.." "How far along were you?" "3 months.." Quinton hugged Kari as hard as he could and said "They were crushed were they?" "No..I was told they would heal but..I'd have to wait years for another chance." Quinton then held her close and said "It won't matter now..Lets just wean into marriage first." Kari wiped some tears away and said "You don't want a family right away?" Quinton looked at her and said "I want time with you first." Kari smiled and said "You're not mad?" "Me at you? Never."

Stepping down from Head Teacher position
After the head of the PDHPE department stepped down from the position Quinton decided it'd be the only good thing to do as he was a veteran of teaching for so long. Quinton took the position with pride and said to Kari "I guess that was a well planned thing. Kari." Kari smiled and said "I took that position to put on my resume, but it didn't happen. I never left this job." Quinton smiled and kissed Kari on the cheek and said "It's gunna be ok." Kari smiled and said "I know." Quinton then said "We're still young, you have the best years in front of you Kari. I want *us* to last a lot longer then most relationships." "It will Quinton." Kari then walked out of the staff room and smiled because she never felt so happy. She then talked to Michelle and said "Whatever happens Kari, I reckon Quinton is the best man for you." "I know that for a fact." Kari pointed at something in the distance. "Our love hearts are still in the sky." Michelle smiled and laughed as Kari sat down and said "I had other men, but Quinton was the man I truly loved. I might've lost my baby, but I can always try again, not matter how hard I try I will never give up." Michelle then said "Whatever makes you happy." Kari then stood up and went back into the staffroom and sat at her desk to do work. She slowly put her desk back to the right order.

Happier Teaching Days
It was only a couple before Kari decided to forget about having children at the current time. Kari had a better lease on life, her mood was better and she was as happy as could be. Quinton and Kari both worked together in the PD department and even took classes together. Kari said to the staff during a meeting "I'm happier then ever now. I'm more happier then I was 3 months ago. I decided to put plans back for a kid right now and focus on my career. I know populating the country is something we all want to do, but I decided to move on at the moment." Michelle stood up and said "That is the best thing I have heard from you in years Kari."

Hullen's revenge
As Dr Quinton was doing work in his office he got a phone call, he answered it and heard a familiar voice "Turn your TV on Quinton." As Quinton turned the TV on news reporters were swarming the Jail. The reporter frantic with stress, then saying "Breaking news from Begs Jail, former disgraced teacher Gregor Hullen has been reported missing from the premesis with a note left behind saying 'I'm coming for you Quinton..'" Quinton then said into the phone "I'm not scared anymore. Do you worst Hullen." Quinton slammed his phone down and called all teachers to his office and said Hullen was after him again. "What are we going to do, put the school on lockdown?" "No. Let him come. He wants me.. He'll get me." "The jail is an 1hour away by foot.." said Kari. "Listen guys. He lied to all of us. He is going to pay for messing around with me." "What will we tell the other students?" "Nothing. They mustn't know." Quinton then dismissed them which made them uneasy. Quinton then walked out of his office and onto the oval. Quinton stepped onto the oval and saw all the kids running around happily. Quinton's phone rang, he answered it "It's about to happen." Quinton looked on to see Hullen was hiding in the bushes. "Come out of hiding you prick.." said Quinton. "I've been waiting for this moment." "What if I hurt the ones you love the most.." "There is nothing left to take! You can't hurt me anymore!." Quinton hung up his phone and walked around the oval. Hullen then pounced out of the bush and tackled Quinton to the ground, Quinton laughing at him saying "There is nothing you can do to hurt me anymore." The kids looking on to see the two grown men fighting. Hullen then said "I'm going to hurt you. So badly your wife won't even notice you." Hullen pulled out a gun and aimed it at Quinton. Quinton shouted to the kids on the oval "Get inside! NOW! GO MOVE GET INSIDE!" The oval cleared in a matter of moments, accept for the few who loved to see gore. Quinton then reached for Hullen's gun and was hit with the stock part of it. Quinton let out a grunt and head butted him in the gut. Hullen on the ground in pain, Quinton held his gun to him and said "You almost killed me.." Hullen then got up again and attacked Quinton, this time the two tried to both throw the gun away, but both pulling the trigger and sending bullets into the air. The sound ricochet. Hullen dropped his gun and grabbed Quinton's leg and twisted it. Causing a familiar snap for Quinton. Quinton screamed in agony as he clutched his knee just above his medial ligament and he was frozen with fear. Hullen wiping blood away from his lip and picked up his gun and shot Quinton in the gut. Quinton screamed again.. The pain caused Quinton to turn to his belly. Hullen looked up and saw Kari right infront of him. Quinton was trying to crawl away. Kari punched Hullen so hard he fell to the ground. Kari then kneeled beside him and said "He said he would come after you again Greg. You didn't listen.." Kari kicked him in the ribs and rushed over to Quinton, who was still trying to crawl away. "Quinton stop moving..You're only making it worse.." The police then came and arrested Hullen again. Quinton was then taken away to hospital. He was cleared on any serious knee injury, and he had successful surgery to remove the bullet and repair the structures that were ruined by the bullet. Quinton was released from hospital 6 weeks later.

Something
Kari had been working, and had been a year advisor for the 3rd time in her career which she enjoyed the job, but hated dealing with goodbyes. Kari had learned not to hold back when it came to saying goodbye, as she told many times it was a hard goodbye. Kari again stood to say goodbye. She started with "I know I am going to say the same thing I said the other two times, but it's an amazing job. You have passed the most hardest time of your life, and now the real world is calling. For some of you, jobs are waiting in open arms, others, might go and expand on what they know by studying at Uni or Tafe. I congratulate you all on how far you have come. And remember don't forget to visit.."

Hard to Forget
"Your memory is hard to forget Kari.." said HG. "What can I say? I know how it's done after all this time Hector." "You know no-one really calls me Hector Galloway, except for my wife and the board." "I know. It's something you have to get used to." Kari then sat down and said "Quinton took the advisor job again?" "yes he did. but someone needs to stand down.. Garko maybe.." "Garko stood down a couple of days ago, so maybe it's possible to do so.." A couple of days later Garko stood down from his position and Quinton was asked to take over.

Heading in the right direction
After a long 15 year teaching career Kari considered a longer teaching career. Kari had a long discussion with Quinton "Quinton..I think I'll teach until old age takes over my body." "It's a good thing. Because I made my mind up. I won't return to medicine unless something else happens.." "Thats good as well." "It is. I don't know why." Kari sat down and got out her roll and said "it's the reason for living." "A great reason for living if you are one of the best teachers at the age of 24." "Haha yes.."

New Timing
Kari had been given the Highest rank of the School and was made a Deputy Head of the PDHPE department and Deputy Principal at the school. Even though the highest was being the principal Kari agreed not to ever take on that roll. Kari had even noted it with BTEC. Kari always worked along with Quinton.

Quinton's unexpected day
After Quinton had his two weeks as Deputy Principal, Quinton found out why he didn't want to be a Deputy or the Principal. Quinton still had to take some paper work home every night. Quinton then said to Kari after she came home from her time as deputy while HG was away. "Never again.." "I agree! But I enjoy it." "I'm glad you do.." Quinton then kissed Kari and said "See you later." Kari smiled and said "You as well." Quinton decided he jog to school that morning. Quinton got into school just as HG pulled into the carpark. "HG your back?" Quinton said as he caught his breath."I am..This time no family issues.." "That's good to hear!" "Since when do you jog to work?" "Hardly ever.." Quinton then said "Kari is probably waiting.." Quinton then walked away and into the staffroom. Quinton then meet Kari in the staffroom and walked over to the tap. "Not trying that again." Quinton then sat down and said "Kari, I'm thinking of exchanging to QLD.." "Why?" "Change.. Look at me Kari, I've been here longer then most. I think it will be a good idea.." "Not just yet though." Quinton smiled and placed his laptop on the table. He looked through his emails and said "Kari...I have an e-mail from BTEC.." "Open it then.." Quinton opened it and started reading aloud. "Dearest Dr Quinton, it has come to our attention that you haven't received a teaching exchange for some time now and we would like you to respond to this message, as there is an opening in Gibbstown Qld.. A teacher recently took long service leave after tearing her ACL in a school PDHPE lesson. We were contacted and told she'd be out for some time, and we were hoping that you could take her place until she recovers. Yours truly Michael Bellic,BTEC.." Quinton then said "Do I take this or not?" Kari then said "On one condition Quinton. That lady comes here.." "To what...To teach? To teach what?" "PDHPE of course! I'll take her PE classes until she feels up to it.." Quinton then said "That is a good idea.." Quinton then wrote out his reply and said it out loud whilst typing. "I agree to help out at this school. But on these terms.. You tell that school, my way of teaching and how I run things.. Also the injured lady, takes my spot in the PD department, as the head of the department and I will agree to those terms.. Signed DrQ." Quinton then sent the message and got an immediate reply by phone call. "Hello?" "Yes.. Is this Dr Quinton?" "Speaking.." "It's Damon Jumper, the principal of Gibbstown High School, I've followed your NOL career and I was also a patient of yours as well. We agree to send Jackie Saunders down to Begs to fill in your position we await your arrival." "Me too." Quinton then put the phone down and rung the school's intercom system "Attention everyone.. There will be an assembly in 20 minutes to discuss a teaching exchange." Quinton then put the phone back down and turned around to see the injured PD teacher already at the door. "Jeeze you guys get here fast." Jackie chuckled and said "Yes we do.." Kari then walked back in from the classroom and said "Ah you must be Jackie!." Jackie smiled and said "Yes..I am.." Quinton then said "This is my wife.. Kari. There are two Kari's in the department. This Kari is the 2nd in charge of the department, the other is on holidays in Suva. Also there is HG, Me, Kari, Kari, Michelle and Rocket.. But we hardly see Rocket." Jackie then said "How are your knees Dr Quinton?" "Can't complain.. I had stem cell injections 3 times after the recent surgery around 4 months ago. To repair damage to my MCL.. But what about you how did you tear your ACL?" "Jogging with the kids around the oval.." "I haven't had the ACL repaired yet.." "I can do it for you.." "Are you sure?" "Very sure.. Just go up to the hospital and I'll get you back on your feet. Sooner rather then later.." Quinton later did the surgery for Jackie and Jackie was very happy with it and Quinton said "I hope you stay in Begs." "Quinton. I had a fallout with this injury.. It's the third time I've done something like this.. I'm about to get fired from Gibbstown, if I don't get my act together.." "You can't help having injuries. That's disgusting..It really is.." "I know." "I'll have a little chat with Jumper when I get there. Promise you, you can take over Rocket's job. Rocket transferred to Gibbstown 4 months ago.. So your in for him if you decide to stay." "That's great.. I think I might stay."

More From Me
"You're the best we have Kari, move qualified then most to take this job. How long must it be like this?" "It must take a while for these things to happen. Not to sway from any side really.." Kari chuckled and read a book. But she knew it was important to know how long it would take to sway from a job that could be very dangerous.

Quinton's time off
It was a long couple of years for Quinton, but as he wanted to for a long time. He had applied for Long Service Leave and was granted for it by BTEC. Quinton had put in that he needed rest and recuperation. It was at least 14 years, since he took leave from any job he had, but it was only dedication that got him through the grueling hours of paper work. Quinton was relaxing in his chair and drinking a beer when Kari came through the door and sat next to him. "What's it like to go to work without me?" "It's honestly, the best thing you ever did." "Wow that's a bit harsh.." "Well you create the atmosphere that makes it easy for us to work together, but you hold yourself back.." "Well fuck.. Thanks for being so truthful!" "Yeah, well what're you going to do whilst on leave!?" "I'm going to go on holidays to the states.." "You're going to America?" "Yes.." "But the crime.." "Couldn't be worse, than here. Trust me I know what I am doing Kari. So just leave it be.."

After his Ordeal
After his ordeal Quinton had spent 1 month in hospital recovering from muscle spasms, dehydration and hunger. But the real battle really begun. Quinton took three months to fully recover and he didn't return to work for a while, he still had LSL to enjoy. Quinton was sitting on his deck chair when Kari walked in and said "You ok honey? You've been quiet since that ordeal." Quinton took a sip of beer and said "I'm actually good. I needed to rest up for some time, just not that way. He actually apologized me, he thought I was someone else, I can't forgive him, but I will not forgot him." He turned around and said "When I'm not in the action at teaching I'm trying not to the die in the real world." Kari then said "The real world outside your own is violent." "They found me in a bathroom Kari. They arrested him in front of me.. He was smiley and wasn't regretful. They gave him 40 years.." Quinton then turned back to the porch sunset and stood up where he walked back into the house, and sat on the bed. Kari walked into the room and sat next to him. "There is nothing more scary Kari, then seeing yourself on a camera being tortured so the whole world can see. I don't the students will be happy to see their PDHPE teacher return after that.." "Actually Quinton, the miss you. It's more then 6 months and all they do is talk about you.." "And when are you gonna say what your first name actually is?" "Not going to happen babe.." "Common. I'll return to work and you tell everyone your actual first name. Jen." Kari gave in and said "One day Quinton. But not now." Quinton and Kari embraced and kissed for awhile before doing "the deed" in bed before going to have a shower. "How did that feel Jen? Been awhile.." "That felt amazing. Thank you.." Quinton and Kari kissed again, then Quinton walked away to bed to go and sleep.

Deciding To Retire
It was a long couple of years for Kari, as she opened up about a battle with depression, which caused a rapid decline in her ability to be able to teach. She decided it was time to give up and retire, as she had got the best from her career in the early days. She didn't tell Quinton at the time but she was about to. Kari stood up on the podium in the hall and said to everyone "Thank you all for coming in here today. I have an announcement to make." Quinton then looked up and said "We already have a son.." "Not that Quinton.." Kari then continued, "For the past 23 years, I have given my all to teaching. I have even come clean about having depression and fighting that. This is why I announce my immediate retirement from teaching. No tricks, no jokes. I retire having gotten everything in my career. Challenges, a marriage and a good long time at his school. I will admit my first name is not Kari. It's actually Jenifer. Kari is my middle name." "You're not serious are you Jen?" said Quinton "I'm serious. I'm truly done. Everything smashed together and that was my career. It has never felt better." Kari stepped down from the podium and packed her things from the staffroom and signed out one last time. Quinton had run to Kari while she was packing the car. "Kari, this isn't true is it. You're retiring.. But we can work through you depression.." "It's not that anymore Quinton. We have a healhty son, I'm married and I am finally truly happy. I just couldn't teach anymore.. Those years are something to be proud of, trust me more then you know. I'm glad we met that day you pulled me out of the rubble." She kissed Quinton on the lips and said "Keep the legacy going." "Wait. You're not going to commit suicide are you?" "No Quinton. A long holiday." She got in the car and drove away leaving Quinton stunned on her next move. Kari drove past the High School to go home, she turned the car around and drove for BTEC. When she got there she told David Kilmer she retired effective immediately. "You're not joking this time are you?" "No not this time. This time is truly the end.." "Do you have another job to back it up Jen?" "I'm travelling first then I'll get another job." Kari left BTEC happy and smiling after a long time.

A Highway of Love
It was the first time in 22 years Quinton, went to work with Kari. It was quiet trip for Quinton, who was used to talking to her whilst on the way. He got out of his car and walked into the school. He walked into the staffroom and sat down at his desk. Michelle walked in to see Quinton just starring at his wall. "Kari, it's time to make sure we dance this dance." said Quinton. "No Quinton. It's me Michelle." Quinton turned around and said "Oh sorry about that." Michelle put her hand on Quinton's shoulder and said "She's retired Quinton, not dead. Ring her." "I've been trying to. Ever since she went on holiday." Suddenly the sound of a helicopter went shuddering past and 3 fire-trucks, ambulance and a police car. Quinton put his head down and said "If that's Kari, I'll never forgive myself." "Quinton. Call, before saying something like that." Quinton had his phone on the table and it was ringing. "Quinton here?" "Quinton... It's Kari, I've been in a car accident. I'm badly hurt.." Quinton then realised, it was a voice message. He hung up his phone and threw it a wall in anger. Quinton then said "I..I have to go.." "Oh. .no" said Michelle. Quinton rushed out of the staffroom and went to his car. He drove to what was the accident scene. "You cannot be here sir." said the officer. "I am a Doctor! That's my wife!" Quinton said pushing past media. "Dr Quinton." "She called me how is she.." "Not good." Quinton then said "Don't give it like that. Tell me the TRUTH!" "Wait at the hospital Quinton." Quinton then said "Alright.." Quinton drove to the hospital, where he waited for Kari to be brought in. "Quinton. Long time no see." said Dr Philips-Rogers. "Unfortunately. It's the reason I am here. Kari was in an accident, I don't know how badly but they told me to come here." Quinton then saw Kari on her way to surgery. "Kari.." said Quinton. "Quinton, she's not good. Say it quickly. She's lost a lot of blood." Quinton held Kari's hand and said "You'll get through this. I promise you." Quinton kissed her on the cheek and let go of the hand and watched her go in the distance. Quinton tried to run after her, but was stopped by Jack. "Quinton.. Let them do their job." Quinton pushed past Jack and went pushed past the doors, but the surgeons were one step ahead of Quinton, they locked the doors and Quinton stood watching Kari having surgery. Quinton collapsed to the floor and put his head in his hands. "If only I answered my phone!" Jack then came in and sat down next to him "Quinton, the driver was drunk. He died.." "And she survived that'd be right." "She suffered back damage Quinton, and a broken arm." "She'll never walk again?" "She'll walk again. With a pray or two." Quinton then said "I can't be out here without being in there." Jack tapped on the window and mouthed "Unlock the door", they did and Quinton got scrubbed up and said to them "How badly injured is she." "Relatively fine Quinton. Really. Ankle and arm are just simple fractures. Her back is fine as well." Quinton breathed. "Then why did she look so bad when you brought her in?" "She was crossing the road at the time. A couple of hours later Quinton, was back at the school knowing Kari was ok. "Quinton.. Is she ok?" "She is. Fairly ok. Besides a broken arm and ankle, she's fine." Quinton picked up his phone and saw the message "I'm fine just my arm and ankle." He read the full message that said "Arm and ankle, see you later at home, sorry for the scare. JKP." Quinton put his phone down and sat at his desk.

Back at home
Kari was resting up after what had happened. She was happy, with company of Quinton. "How are you feeling today." "Better. Sorry about that scare I gave you." "Happens to everyone, don't blame anyone." Kari stood up and kissed Quinton. "Kari you're lucky your injuries were only a broken arm and ankle. I would of quit teaching to take care of you if it was worse." Quinton then said "You're a fighter though." Kari then said to Quinton. "You can return to work and go. I need no more help." "Kari, why did it happen?" "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know it.." "I do actually."

Going On another Way
Kari had told Quinton that she found another job. It was at the hospital. He was surprised at this and said "As what? Kari, you continuing the Quinton legacy?" "Not orthopaedics.. No Quinton. Child Physiotherapy." "Are you ready for that? Kids are shits.." " I am, I was waiting for the right time to do this job." "It's going to take a lot out of you." "I know. But that won't matter." "Not for a long time I was very happy. It was brilliant." Kari grabbed something out of the fridge and drunk out of something she put it then sat back down. You know Quinton I wasn't being serious. I want to be an author." "I could see you doing that!"

Book Writing
Kari 7 years after she retired released a book called "Teacher and Conspiracy" which was a best seller around the world. Kari had said in a interview about the book it was based on a true story that happened with conspiracies that happened when she was working. Kari had her book signed on the mantel in the bedroom. She was ready to read it. Quinton walked in and said "How's the book honey?" "Makes more sense when you're the one reading it." "Never thought of it that way." Kari then said "I love this quote here I wrote." "What is it?" "If you're gonna run in the rain do it with sass. Don't run in the rain if you to scared to fall over." Quinton then said "I said half of that quote to my Senior class, how did you hear that?" "You talk really loud. Remember that."

Fire on the Hill
Quinton was standing on lunch duty and watching the hill. He saw smoke coming from the mountains. Quinton had his phone in hand and called BTEC. "I want to know. How's the fire in the mountains going because it's travelling fast. David these things are unforgiving. Trust me." "I know they are. How far do you think it is from the school?" "A kilometer at least. I'm notifying the principal." Quinton hung up and rung the principal. "Gaz, that fire is moving quickly." "Let it get closer and then we'll evacuate." "I don't think so." "Quin--" Quinton then radioed the office and said "It's moving fast. Wait for my signal and we'll evacuate to the other field." Quinton could see the flames getting closer. Quinton then said "Now." Quinton then had the microphone and saw the kids stepping out of classrooms, They had a look of worry. "I want you all to move to the other oval. We have a fire moving quickly over the hills. It gets any closer and the school is over." "But what about you Quinton?" said Kari. "I'll make sure everyone is out of the building." "But what about your wife?" "I have nothing to lose. Now go.." Kari held Quintons hand and said "Quinton I don't want to tell her we had to scrape you off the floor, don't do this." Quinton held Kari's hand and said "Call Jen. Tell her I love her. I'm glad I met you." Quinton then hugged Kari and walked back into the building. Quinton watched as the hills burned. Quinton put his hand on the window. Quinton saw a helicopter above the flames and Quinton was walking through T block and opened the door to see a class still going on. "You guys need to go. There is a fire on the hills it's spreading quickly. Go." The class quickly left and Quinton made his way to the library. As there was no-one in the library Quinton picked up the radio and contacted Kari. "Kari how is everyone?" Kari responded and said "Quinton, you're still alive. What's the progress on that fire. "Fast moving. It's on the edge of the hills." "Quinton get out of there. Jen is with me. Common." "Put her on." "Quinton, you've done enough. Get out of there.." "You know I can't. I'm stuck here. Not really but I'm prepared to save others from dying.." "But not yourself.." "Trust me on this. write a book about it." "That's actually a good idea.." "Just don't called the character Quinton.." Quinton then said goodbye and turned off his radio. Quinton called out to the librarian to see if he could hear her. "Lucy!" Quinton walked into her office and saw her face down on her desk. "Jesus Christ Lucy.." Quinton could feel no pulse she had been dead for a while. Quinton laid her down and placed a sheet over her. Quinton left the library and walked back to T block. There he saw the rapid onset of fire. Quinton grabbed his radio and said "Confirmed everyone out." "Except you Quinton. Out now.." Quinton looked on in horror as the oval was alight. "There goes the oval.." "Grass grows back Quinton. Lives don't." Quinton had a long thought. "Leaving now.." Quinton was rushing out the building when he tripped and hit his head on the ground, knocking him unconscious. "Quinton. Quinton. Are you there?" said Kari. "We're sending help." Kari turned to the fire chief and said "Find him! Find him now.." "We need to know what was his last location.." "He said he was near the library. I want radio contact on when you find him.." "Can do.' The fire chief then got his radio and said "Putting in a call a 44-PIB. Find and extract. Radio contact to be maintained." The fire chief then went with his crew. "That fire wont be the first thing that kills him.." "You thinking he fell?" "I don't know what I'm thinking of.." The firefighters finally found Quinton. "Oh shit.." "What is it?" "I found him.." "Alive?" "Yes. Barely though." "Full spinal precautions." "What's the news.." said the radio. "We found him." "Is he ok?" "He'll live to fight another fight. He hit his head. We don't know how hard." "Take him." Quinton was taken to hospital and given the all clear of brain damage. But his true fight just begun. 3 days later Quinton woke up, beside him Kari. "Welcome back to the world Quinton.." Quinton looked around and said "How bad?" "Only minor bruising.. You're lucky to be alive.." "Was anyone else in the building?" "Just the librarian. But tests confirmed she suffered a heart attack before the event." "How's the school?" "We lost the oval. But grass can grow back. T Block is destroyed, we're having that repaired as we speak. The rest of the school is unharmed." Quinton then said "I'm lucky to be alive then.." "Why?" "I just left the room in T block when I feel." "Funny that. They found you near wood tech.. You were in T block." "I don't remember.. Going in T block. Why don't I have burns then?" "Because you fell and staggered your way to the left exit.."

Another book
Kari had gotten something she always wanted from writing, A career, Kari wrote a new book about a character called "Terri" who was a teacher turned doctor finding his way through the different processes of teaching and his career in medicine. The book series was popular over the world as "Terri" had fallen in love with his colleague and proceeded from there. "Writing this series, everyone knows that Terri wanted to always teach and go into medicine but there is always a problem. I didn't know anything about medicine. I knew first aid, and spinal injuries and all that, but not how in a doctors eyes how they felt in the moment. I had to ask my husband on how the ER and operating room worked. I wanted to get the feeling that everyone who reads the books, could get to know him. You know, like a sister you could be close to knowing someone like that. It was something I always wanted to right about. Just something Terri wanted was to be able to be a doctor and to teach. Meaning he wanted to do both."

The Sentence Of Terri
Kari was reading her own book when she was reading it from the beginning, It started like this. "They say when one door opens another closes. But In my opinion it's always open. I was sitting in my office thinking about my future. I worked 6 hours everyday and in front of rowdy students who never listened to me anyway. I taught History, but no-one really cared, only my colleagues ever knew the battle from the inside. I decided it was time for a job change. Hello my name is Terri McKinnon, and this is my story." Terri felt his hand on the door of the principals office. He remembered his first time he spoke to him, this would prove to be his last. As he knocked on the door he heard the words from the mans soft voice. "Come In.." he said. Terri swallowed hard and opened the door. "Ah, Terri, what brings you here?" the mans voice said. Terri pulled a chair up and sat down. "I'm coming to tell you I am going into medicine. I am quitting teaching. I can't keep on doing this Jerry. Look at me. I teach history do you think anyone really cares?" ''"They do care. We care Terri. But I do wish you a good aspect in the next phase of your life." "Tell the staff but not the students. They'll find out soon enough."  "I guess, we thank you for your continued support into this area."'' Terri saw the look on his aging face, this time it hit him hard. He was leaving his job in history to pursue another one he held close to him. "Just so you know Jerry, I will miss you. You are the reason I'm so resilient." Jerry smiled and said "Thanks." Terri stood up and put the chair back into the table. He picked up his folder and signed the "Permanent Leave" box and placed the folder in "Out" and he said "I guess this is farewell. For now." Jerry looked up and said "I just sent an email to the teachers, and we are giving you a farewell dinner. We're having one last dine out. And this time you will have a reason to go." The story then went to Terri driving home. "I knew this time, there was no going back. And this time, the students didn't know I wasn't coming back. I had been to uni in the past to learn how to teach, now this time was different. I had always wanted to help people, and now was the chance." The story then montaged to the medical officer in the Uni presenting his diploma in medical science, general medicine and paediatric care. "Terri McKinnon, you're one stoking individual. This many, is amazing. You'll be a great doctor." The story then went to his first day as a medico. "My first day as a medico was brilliant. I never knew what I was missing being a teacher. I performed surgery on a broken arm, the smell of an operating room was brilliant, the smell of antiseptic blew me away. It was a great deal of something I'd never forget." ''It was a few years later I had the world at my feet. I became the head of Paediatric Medicine and the consultant for General Medicine. I learnt the ropes pretty quick''

Headlining the Sales
Kari had been writing her series for 3 years and the books which had three in the series headlined the sales. 'Catching the Scalpel' and 'Not for me' were her best sellers as they sold around the world. "The series is now very popular. I'm glad people are enjoying the tension in the books. Terri having sexual tension between his anesthetist and her being taken in his eyes, wasn't something I thought of at first. But it came to be in the weirdest manner. I guess being a teacher, you can make anything seem like it's about you and your career and what you actually wanted to be. But not this time, This time I loved being a teacher." Kari continued her interview and then said "This series will always be my legacy." Kari sat down and pleasured the way the reporters talked.

Going back
"Kari, can you do me a huge favour?" Quinton said as he put the dishes away. "Sure, what is it?" "I'm taking leave to visit Claude, can you take over as head of PD?" "Sure. I can do that. In fact I can do it for free." "What." "I am a book writer. My series is hot right now. I don't need the extra money. I'll send it to your bank." "Yeah Thank You." The next day Kari return back to the high school, where the PD staff were so happy they threw a party at break. "Hey Jen. Where is Quinton?" "You have the memory of a gold fish Phil. He went to Canada to see his son. He won't be back for some time knowing him." Jen walked and sat at her old desk and said "You kept my desk.." "Actually no.. That's my desk." said Phil. "We needed the room." As the weeks passed, Jen had the urge to come back to teaching. "Hey Jen?" said Phil. "Yeah?" "Would you come back to teach? Full or casual? If you're not losing money on your book sales." Jen smiled and said "I think I could do casual work. The students still respect me. My depression is gone, and I've never felt better." "But would you teach PD again?" Jen shook her head. "No. I've trained in a little bit of everything.. I don't know where I would end up."

Another Story
Jen wrote part 6 of the book series. Jen wanted this one to seem more life like. She had already written so much about how the nurse and doctor started to like each other. She almost died in one book and he saved her. The fans wanted more blood. This story was killed "The Hospital Haunting" with the back blurb saying ''The longer they're together. The more they get hurt.. Who will be hurt and who will die?'' And Jen knew the fact it was the main character Terri who was going to die after he got married to her.

Terri Dead
As the books went across the world, Kari read the book herself. Here it went; ''As he felt the handle to his office Terri walked into his and he sat down. He was tired. He hadn't slept in days. And all he wanted was a day away to catch up on some sleep. He heard a knock at the door.'' "What!" He said angrily. "Dr McKinnon.." "I'm going home for a long nap. The next person who talks to me will die! I haven't slept in days." ''Terri, walked out of his office and to the taxi bay. He got the taxi home and he went to bed. There was then a bang at the door. Terri awoke and grabbed a bat from his cupboard.'' "Whose there!" He yelled. "A nightmare.." ''Terri opened the door to, the fast whirlwind of a fist to the head. Terri collapsed to the floor and was groggy from the hit but ok. He was being tied up when he said. "Why not kill me?" "Because you're worth something.." ''The kidnapper decided to contact the police. "Yes hello there. There has been some smashing noises coming from this address. I think it's serious.." ''The kidnapper then saw blood coming from Terri's nose. That's when the 'napper' said "It's a kidnapping.. Find him.." ''He then hung up the phone, and helped Terri up, and walked him to his car. strapping him in, he went back inside and wrecked some stuff.'' "Regards from The Boss.." ''The 'napper' could hear sirens wailing in the distance and he quickly got out of the house and into the car. An hour later, Terri woke up tied to a chair.'' "Now the skilled doctor will face death.." said a familiar voice. "Gary is that you?" "Indeed it is my friend.. Now take a look at this.." Gary turned the TV to a news broadcast of his house. "Breaking news. Doctor Terri McKinnon has been kidnapped. Neighbors said they heard loud banging and a car driving away. The house was trashed and blood was found. Doc McKinnon has never gone missing before, but his colleagues want him returned.. Dr McKinnon if your watching this. Call the woman you just proposed to.." ''Gary turned the TV off and said "You proposed to her? How droll. Pity you'll never walk down the isle.." ''Gary walked up to Terri and pushed him to the ground. Gary then said'' "You are successful... Now look at me.. I was one of your interns... You turned me down.. And I slumped and became the bed ward manager... Do you know how that feels?" Terri nodded no. "Of course you don't.." Gary turned around holding a pipe. "Oh.. You're about to.." Gary then smashed the pipe against Terri's legs.
