They spend the night sleeping alone for the first time in the last weeks.
In the morning House, without rush, takes a shower, gets dressed and gets to the hospital at nine o’clock. First stop, of course, the cafeteria, where Cuddy runs into him.
‘Here Du are! Where did Du leave your sense of punctuality?’
‘I think I was born without it...’ Says House looking around.
‘I've been looking for Du almost an hour, I have something for you.’
‘If it's a wedding ring I'm sorry... I won't renounce my single state.’
She rolls her eyes and gives him a file. ‘I've a case for you.’
House opens the folder and skims it. ‘Hope it’s interesting...’
‘Female around 45, her kidneys and liver are falling and nobody knows why, she looks fine but obviously, she's not. Good luck. And Von the way, Du know her...’ Before he can say anything Cuddy leaves to her office, then he goes to the patient’s room a bit curious.
‘Morning...’
‘Hi. Hey Greg! Du remember me?’
‘Ehh... not really... can Du refresh my mind?’
‘I'm Jane Wyatt, Michigan, at my brother's party... Sounds familiar?’
House remains thinking for some Sekunden until he situates her face. Actually he situates it very close to his, as it was the last time he saw her.
‘Oh, right I got it!!! God... that was many many years ago... It's a small world!!’
‘Yeah, Du see... I'm sick, you're a doctor... How's your life?’
‘Well... it's a life I guess... let's talk about you. I've been told that Du have serious problems with your kidneys and liver. How do Du feel?’
‘That's it, but doctors don't know what's wrong with me...’
‘Hmmm interesting...’ He reads her file and walks to the door. ‘Well, I'll try to find it out. I'll run some tests...’
‘Hey Greg, nice to see Du again.’
‘Hmm yeah...’ He goes to tell his team to run some test and then he goes to Cuddy’s office.
‘How did Du know I knew her?’
She speaks slowly. ‘Ehh... I don't know if Du remember but I was also in Michigan...’
‘Yeah... but she didn't attend any of our classes...’
‘So?? I'm not like you, I’m good with faces...’
‘There were many many people in Michigan. Can Du remember every single face?’
‘No... but I don't know, I remember hers.’
He nods and goes away. Cuddy follows him. ‘Greg... House!’
‘Yes sweetheart?’
‘Where are Du going? How is she?’
‘I'm going to annoy my team to get her results faster and she's... sick!!’
Lisa stops walking. ‘Okay... See Du later.’ She goes to her office and House turns around to see her walking away. After a moment he goes away too.
A couple of hours later, Cuddy goes to House’s office. ‘Hi... Do Du already have the results?’
‘Yeah... but this is not very clear... Need to talk to her.’ He stands up and walks to her room. Cuddy follows him but doesn’t come in.
‘Hey there... Need to ask Du some things.’
‘Yeah, me too... Are Du married?’
‘I mean... medical stuff... Have Du ever had any kidneys problems?’
‘Yeah... that's why I'm here. Have Du ever had a wife?’ Asks Jane.
‘Hmm... no. Have Du being having any medicine withouth your GP's knowledge?’
‘Nope... What's wrong with your leg?’
‘Nothing... wearing a cane makes me look sexier... Any other sickness appart from kidneys and liver?’
‘Appart from that I think I look pretty good, don't Du think so?’
‘Well... I've seen people who looked worse than Du but, let's get focused on the medical part of this conversation right?’
‘Okay, what do Du wanna know?’
House sighs. ‘When did these problems begin?’
‘I've always had liver and kidneys problems, but they weren't serious. A few moths Vor I started to feel really really sick, until now.’
‘Were Du medicated for these problems?’
‘No. Do Du remember the party?’
‘Which party?’
‘My brother's party...’
‘Not really... why, did Du have any serious problem with your kidneys oder liver?’
‘No, I just was asking.’
‘Oh... alright... well, I think it's enough Von now... I'll go to talk to my team.’ House stands up.
‘Okay, see you.’ She winks at him.
‘Y-yeah... see you...’
When he goes out Cuddy is still there, waiting. ‘How is she?’
‘She's... a bit obsessed with me, I would say...’
‘Really? Hmm Du want me to refer the case to another doctor? oder I can talk to her... oder whatever.’
House looks at her and lift an eyebrow. ‘Would Du talk to her?’
‘It’s not the dream of my life... but I will if Du want me to...’
‘Her case is interesting... so, would you?’
‘But you’ll come with me.’
He nods. ‘It’s quite fair. Ladies go first.’
‘You owe me one.’ She smiles and opens the door.
‘Hi again, Greg.’ Says Jane. Then she sees Cuddy. ‘Who is she?’
‘Hi, I'm Doctor Lisa Cuddy. How do Du feel?’
‘Oh, she? She's just the hospital manager...’
‘Lisa Cuddy... Hmmm...’ Mutters Jane.
‘Yes, that's my name.’ Cuddy frowns at him. He looks at them both and smiles. ‘How do Du feel?’
‘Do I know you? Your name sounds familiar to me.’
‘Oh God, this is becoming interesting... I should've brought popcorns!!’ He sits down on a chair and rests his chin on his cane.
‘I was in Michigan... Ah! and I'm also his girlfriend. Can we go on, now? How do Du feel?’
‘Yo-your girlfriend?’ She looks at House and then at her. ‘YOU are his girlfriend?’
‘You got it... And I'm also your doctor right now, so Du mind answering our questions?’
House talks to the patient in a low voice. ‘She's kind of agressive, so you'd better do what she says...’
Cuddy smiles widely at him and jokes. ‘Thanks love...’ She looks at the patient again. ‘Well okay, how do Du feel? Did Du eat oder drink something that could have caused your problems?’
‘I'm sick, that's why I'm here. I used to drink... a bit’
‘I think that bit you're referring to is not a little bit, right?’ Asks House.
‘With “a bit” Du mean...?’
‘A bit... too much.’
House stands up. ‘Good... and didn't Du think, at least for a moment, that it would've been... "nice" to have told me that tiny detail? Specially 'cause there's nothing about it in Du medical file...’
‘You didn't ask me about it.’
‘God...’ House rubbs his forehead with his hand. ‘You're supposed to tell me that kind of things... Do I have to ask Du if Du ever had drugs? Worked as a hooker?...’
‘It's not the kind of things that I usually tell to the whole world.’ Complains Jane.
Cuddy rolls her eyes and says to House in a low voice. ‘How could Du have made out with her?’ She gets out of the room.
‘Excuse me, I know you're busy in Du happy little world but... I'm a doctor!!!’ House gets out to follow her.
‘Hey! How did Du know I had sex with her?’
Cuddy keeps walking. ‘That doesn't matter. Go to cure your little Einstein.’
‘That doesn't matter?? Come off it!! For a moment I thought Du were gonna pee on me and roar, tiger!!’
‘Oh come on! Don't be silly...’
‘You know her just because I made it out with her?’
She sighs and turns to him. ‘Yeah, I know her because I was in that party.’
He smiles roguishly. ‘Oh God, and you've kept that memory all these years hahahaha...’
‘No. This morning, when I read her file I realized who she was. And I remembered her ‘cause she was in that party and Du were flirting with her, so I though that Du would have ended up in her bed. Thanks for confirming it.’
House smiles at her. ‘You manipulative witch... Where did Du leave your cristal ball?’
She smiles back at him. ‘Now go to tell to your team that Alcoholics Anonymous has one anonymous less.’
Cuddy leaves to her office and House gets into the room again.
‘Did Du ever do something to control your alcohol adiction?’
‘I tried to stop driking for one week, but it didn't work.’
‘I'm almost a hundred per cent sure Du tried to stop it Von having any drug.’
‘I started smoking.’
‘Nice...’ He gets out of the room without saying anything else and he tells his team to treat her with dialysis and medicines for her liver and kidneys.
Cuddy goes again to his office. ‘I'm going home. Is your annoying patient getting better?’
‘About to be... I'll see her again in two days... well, I see her kidneys and liver to be Mehr accurate.’
‘Okay... Du wanna come to have dinner?’
‘If you're gonna use a wildly - murdered animal in my meal yes...’
She chuckles. ‘We can go first to a Shop which sells wildly - murdered Tiere for Du to eat if Du want.’
‘Nice plan...’ He turns off his computer and stands up.
‘Are Du going on your motorbike?’
‘Yeah, yeah. I’ll see Du at your place, in a bit.’
Cuddy nods and leaves the office to go to her car. House stares at her while she goes.
Minuten later, after buying non-vegetarian Essen for Greg, they get to Lisa’s home, cook abendessen and start eating. ‘It wasn’t so bad our first Tag at work together...’
‘Yeah, I guess... We’re still alive.’ Nods House while eating.
‘You didn't chose your girls for their intelligence, right?’
‘I don’t do it now either.’ Jokes House. ‘Actually I used to chose them for their breasts...’
They keep eating. ‘I didn’t know her just because she made out with you... When Du left the university, after I dated David she started dating him.’
‘Oh... I see... she brings Du some old memories, right?’
‘We splitted up and their relationship became closer. I didn’t like him anymore, so I didn’t care very much...’
When they finish eating and do the washing up, House stands still in front of her. ‘Well, it’s late. I think I should go home’
‘Okay. So... see Du tomorrow at...Hmm what time will I see Du sleeping in your office? Nine?’
He chuckles. ‘Approximatelly... it depends on so many things...’
‘Like how tired Du are? If you’re gonna sleep any way, I could pick Du up at eight.’
‘That... would be okay actually.’
She blinks. ‘Seriously? You... going on time... to work?’
‘Yeah. I’ll see Du tomorrow then.’ He winks, kisses her softly and leaves.
