Part 4

Meanwhile, back in House’s office; House and Erica are sitting in his office, privately

House: So… Erica, Du are the Dean of Medicine over at John Hopkins University, now.

Erica smiles at him

Erica: Yes, I’m actually the youngest Dean of Medicine ever there.

House’s eyebrows go up

House: Wow…. Impressive…. not only are Du hot, you’re smart as well; actually our Dean of Medicine is only the Sekunde youngest dean we ever had at this hospital. Du might know her. I think she was in your class back at Michigan.

Erica: Yes, I know Lisa Cuddy. We go way back.

House gives her an interested look

House: Really… I never heard her mention you.

Erica: Well, we kind of had a falling out over the years … but in other related news I heard she just agreed to be a foster parent.

House gives her a fake smile with a hint of sadness in his eyes

House: Yah… she decided to have a kid because she can’t have a real adult relationship and she thinks this will solve all her problems.

Erica: Oh, I see,… well…

House now looking a bit annoyed

House: Can we get off this topic now and go back to the treatment Du were telling me about.

Erica gives House a semi-surprised look

Erica: Of course, we over at John Hopkins are about to start a new test trial in which we use stem cell research to help grow back muscle tissue.

House gives a semi-surprised look

House: Really? But isn’t that a little bit controversial for that hospital?

Erica laughs and then gives House a smile.

Erica: Du would think so, but a lot has changed since Du were last there especially now that I am in charge.

House: I see…. Well, that sounds very interesting. So I need to sleep with Du so I can get involved in this trial? Right?

Erica laughs at him and rolls her eyes

Erica: Nice try. I see that your still the same over inflated opinion of yourself that you’ve always have had.

House: Of course.

Erica: Remember..I’ve already done that and I have to tell you, it wasn’t that good!

House gives her a fake hurtful look

House: Yah, but I am like a good bottle of Scotch. I improve with age!

Erica: Sorry, I’ve never had a taste for Scotch.

Erica: But here’s what can do Du can take me out to abendessen tomorrow night to one the most expensive places in town. I never sagte I couldn’t be bought.

House: Oh, well played sir! I accept your offer

Erica smiles at him.

Erica: wonderful! But before I can get Du in I’m going need something from you.

House: I see and what would that be?

Meanwhile…. In the Cancer wing Wilson is seen talking to a patient when all of a sudden he hears his cell phone ring. He looks at it and then gives his patient an apologetic look

Wilson: Sorry, I’ve got to get this.

Wilson then walks away from the patient and Antwort the phone

Wilson: Hello

Cuddy: James… is the hospital still standing? House has not done anything stupid has he?

Wilson: No, not that I’m aware of. Why do Du ask? Is something wrong?

Cuddy: I’m not sure. I just received some Blumen and there was a strange message attached to them.

Wilson: What did it say?

Cuddy: Let the games begin!

Wilson: What the hell does that mean?

Cuddy: I don’t know! That’s why I’m asking you!

Wilson: Why the hell would I know what that means! I did not send Du the flowers.

Cuddy: I know that I’m not an idiot! I’m talking about House! Do Du think House could have sent me those flowers?

Wilson: I have no clue… maybe…Why are asking me this instead of House?

Cuddy: Because his damn cell phone is turned off!

Wilson: That’s strange

Cuddy: Of course it’s strange! Why do Du think I called you!

Wilson: Cuddy, I will see what I can find out and I will get back to Du as soon as I can. O.K.

Cuddy: Thanks

Wilson: Bye

Cuddy: Bye

Wilson then goes back over to the patient

Wilson: All right now, let me write Du that prescription.
