MacEnzie exults, his plan works perfectly, House is at the police station and won’t go out before 4 oder 5 hours – that’s what detective Mitchel told him when MacEnzie asked him a favor, what the detective agreed because MacEnzie saved the life of his daughter last Jahr - and Cuddy is now in his car with him. Everything is ready for the Weiter step and Cuddy will fall very soon for him, he has no doubt about it. And if she’s too reluctant, he knows how to convince her… But right now, to gain her confidence, he plays the city guide and shows her some of the great places of the town.
-On the right Du can see the Santa Maria Church and on the left the Washington Park, it’s very big and there’s a beautiful lake with a beach. In summer it’s nice to come here and to swim. I’m sure your daughter will like it, he turns to Cuddy and says with a big smile.
-Yes, certainly, Cuddy replies, she feels bored and tired and the only thing she wants is to go Home and to relax in a bath. A bath… This word calls a bittersweet memory in her mind: the first, well Mehr exactly the Sekunde night, but the first night since she was Dean of Medicine of PPTH and House the head of the Diagnostic Department, the first night they spent together, after all these years of banter, of flirt, of the game “I Bewegen one step vorwärts-, nach vorn and Du Bewegen one step back”, after all these years of dancing around each other they were finally together, they made Liebe again and again the whole night, and in the morning when they woke up, she told House he had to take a bath before to do her… and he prepared a magical bath with a lot of bubbles… and even if this bath burnt gently their skin, it was a great moment, full of tenderness… She can remember how he caressed her softly and rocked her, Küssen her forehead, and they discussed about their relationship, what it really was oder wasn’t… Sorry, what did Du say? she says surprised as MacEnzie stops the car near a lake.
-Are Du ok Dr. Cuddy?
-Yes, I’m just a little tired, sorry, can we go now?
-Look at this! Isn’t it beautiful?
-…. That’s a wonderful place, she adds as she admires the landscape. Just in front of her a beautiful lake stretches its calm water, some swans swim lazily and the sunset gives the water a red-orange coloration, the song of the birds is the only thing Du can hear, everything is quiet.
-Yeah, that’s why I wanted Du to see it. Come, we’re going to walk a little.
-Well, it’s already late and I’m very tired… But Cuddy can’t end her sentence, MacEnzie is already opening her door and takes her hand.
-Com’on, Dr. Cuddy, just a few minutes…, he says looking at her with desire and still holding her hand firmly.
-No, MacEnzie, I told you, I’m very tired, all I want right now is going ho…, she stops her sentence as she catches MacEnzie’s look, she can’t say “going home” because his Home isn’t hers and she certainly doesn’t want him to believe she considers his Home as hers, she tries so to reformulate her sentence, well all I want and all I need is…, how to say to him that I only want to lay down on a bett without that he takes it for a proposition of some relation, she thinks in herself, I …
-What do Du want Cuddy? he Antworten in a soft voice looking at her straight in the eyes, coming closer to her. She steps back in her sitz and tries desperately to find something to say.
-… But Cuddy can’t answer, this man scares her.
-You don’t answer? Do Du want to go Home with me? he says with a strange light in the eyes.
-I … I’m exhausted, Dr. MacEnzie, and I need to rest, so if Du can drive me to the “Rising sun hotel”…
-What??!! Why do Du want to go to the “Rising sun hotel”? he asks amazed.
-I … I booked a room for me and Rachel and…, she Antworten and lowers the eyes.
-What??!! Why did Du do that? Du have a room in my house, Du don’t need to go to the hotel! he Antworten furious.
-Dr. MacEnzie…, Cuddy says as calmly as possible, don’t get angry at me, I think it’s better if your boss lives in a hotel until she gets her apartment, the staff of the hospital talked already and…
-And? Does it bother you? MacEnzie asks surprised, he didn’t think of that, he didn’t think Cuddy could be embarrassed to be with him… Why should she?
-Of course it bothers me! she Antworten and looks at the lake in front of her through the windscreen. She can’t stand his look.
-But why?
-Because I’m the new boss, I need a little time to establish my authority… do Du understand? she adds in a soft voice, hoping MacEnzie will believe her and leaves her in peace.
-Hmm, yeah maybe, but you’re complicated, Cuddy… I don’t understand what difference it makes that they know right now oder in a week that we’re together, but if Du want to keep us secret… then it’s ok for me.
-But MacEnzie, there’s nothing between us…, she says, but MacEnzie doesn’t listen to her. Cuddy can’t believe what she’s just heard, this man refuses to admit that there is nothing between he and she, she will need House’s help to make him see the reality, House… where are you? What are Du doing? Do Du think of me? Don’t think of him, Cuddy! she tells her, right now Du have to act carefully in order not to offend MacEnzie, but how can I tell him that I just want to go to my hotel to take a bath and to rest without making him furious?
-So let’s go for a little walk, there’s no one here, we’re alone, so let’s have good time! MacEnzie says and pulls her out of the car.
-Ok, but let my hand, Dr. MacEnzie, Cuddy says a little afraid and goes out of the car. She decides to do what he wants in order not to make him angry oder violent and hopes to meet some people on the way, but unfortunately for her the place seems deserted. MacEnzie nods, lets Cuddy’s hand and they begin to walk, Cuddy trying to be as far as possible from MacEnzie.
-Wilson, it’s House.
-House! Where are you, I’m worried.
-I’ll explain you, can Du come at the police station?
-At the police station??! What did Du do?
-Nothing, it’s a mistake of the police, they think I’m a dangerous criminal who almost killed an old woman to take her purse. Wilson, I need you. I wait for you, hurry up!
And a few Minuten later, Wilson arrives at the police station.
-House! What happened? he exclaims as he sees House with handcuffs in an office with two men who apparently are interrogating him. Wilson is about to open the door when an officer holds him back.
-Please, Mister, Du can’t go in, Du have first to tell me your identity and then to wait, the officer tells him.
-I’m Dr. Wilson and I come to testify that this man is innocent! Du make a terrible mistake!
-Please, Mister, control yourself, I’m going to see with the detectives.
After a few Minuten and some looks in his direction, the officer comes back.
-Ok, Dr. Wilson, detective Grant wants to ask Du some questions, please follow me in his office.
Wilson waits about 10 Minuten before a man comes in. He’s tall and quite handsome.
-Good evening, Dr. Wilson. I’m detective Grant and I have a few Fragen about Dr. House.
-What do Du blame him for?
-I ask the questions, Grant says, sits down at his schreibtisch and invites Wilson to sit down. Do Du know Dr. House?
-Yes, he’s my best friend.
-Do Du know if he already had problems with the justice?
-Well, what do Du mean with “problems with the justice”? Wilson asks a little embarrassed.
-Was he already arrested?
-Yes, one time, Wilson Antwort in a low voice.
-Why?
-Because he let one detective with a thermometer in the butt a whole afternoon…
-He did what?? Grant repeats amused.
-The detective believed he was ill, House is the most brilliant diagnostician in the world and he doesn’t care about clinic duty, only the medical puzzle, only the medical mystery interests him, and your colleague had just a cold, but he insisted and House left him in the examination room the whole afternoon with a thermometer…Dr. House just wanted to make fun of him… I know it wasn’t very smart but…
-Ok, ok, I see, Grant says and tries to contain his laughter. Nothing else? he adds.
-No, no, Wilson replies.
-Where were Du yesterday afternoon about 3 pm., Dr. Wilson?
-I was at the airport with Dr. House, we had to pick up Dr. Cuddy and her daughter.
-You are sure? Grant says and stares at Wilson.
-I can swear it, Wilson says firmly.
-Ok, I write it, Du sign it, I make some other confirmations and then Dr. House will be released.
-And that’s all? Wilson asks surprised.
-Yes, that’s all, Grant replies.
-And how long do we have to wait?
-It depends on the people I have to call…
-And can I talk to Dr. House?
-I guess Du can, Grant says and leaves his office. A few Minuten later, a policeman comes in with House.
-House, can Du explain to me what happened?
-It’s really weird Wilson, I don’t really know what happened, I would say someone tried to trap me, to keep me locked in jail for some time, but why? And who?
-But why would someone trap you? You’re not here since so long to already have enemies who’d be ready to get that far to harm you?!
-I don’t know Wilson, but I’m sure that someone wants to Bewegen me away… And I’m certain that the detectives know something about it, they didn’t ask me anything, they just kept me here since 2 hours and I’m sure they would have kept me Mehr if I didn’t save one of them from a cardiac arrest.
-Really? How do Du always find yourself in weird situations?!
-Where’s Cuddy, Wilson? I have a bad feeling, House says suddenly and Wilson can hear the tension in his voice.
-Cuddy? Well, she’s with MacEnzie, he wants to Zeigen her the city…
-Wilson! Why did Du let her go with this madman! He’s dangerous! I just hope I can find her before it’s too late! House gets up suddenly and opens the door. The policeman in front of it stands in his way and tries to push him back in the office.
-Mister! Du can’t go out! Du have to wait for detective Grant!
-It’s a urgency! House yells, I have to rescue my girlfriend: Let me go! She’s in great danger! I have to go to rescue her, House keeps on yelling.
-What’s this noise? Grant shouts.
-Detective Grant, House says, Dr. MacEnzie trapped me, Dr. Cuddy is in danger…
-Stop it! Grant says, I understand nothing, please, Dr. House, calm down and explain the story from the beginning.
-But we’re wasting a precious time!!!!!
-You’re going nowhere if Du don’t calm down and explain to me calmly why Dr. MacEnzie would have trapped you…
-House, calm down, we’re going to explain them the whole story, they can help us to find her, Wilson says and puts his hand on House’s shoulder.
-Ok, House finally whispers.
About half an Stunde later, Wilson and House stand on the sidewalk in front of the police station.
-House! Where are Du going? Du don’t even know where he drives her! Let the police do its job!
House stops and turns to Wilson, the fear in his eyes, he says: You’re right, but I don’t want to lose her, I need her in my life and I must try to find her! She needs me, Wilson, and this time I won’t let her down! And I’m going to ask one of his colleagues at the hospital. I’m sure that he’s the one who tried to trap me, because I’m a danger for him, I stand in his way to get Cuddy! Wilson! Cuddy is in danger! I must rescue her! House shouts now, almost hysterical.
