Lisa Cuddy wearily ran a hand through the dark locks of her hair. Sighing, she straightened a random stack of papers on her desk, wishing her mind would straighten as easily. It seemed that she worried to much lately, and her latest worry was about House. Particularly how Foreman and House had gotten along lately, this morning they had almost started a fist fight. She knew that if this kept up, someone would be fired, and that person wouldn't be Foreman.

At that exact moment, a certain someone knocked on her door, making her jump slightly.

"Come in" She called, waiting for the door to open and close before looking up, surprised to see The neurologist himself.

"Dr. Cuddy" He said rather awkwardly, clearing his throat.

"Yes?" She said, forgetting her manners for a moment. "Um, would you like to sit down?"

"No, I-" he paused "Look, I'm going to get straight to the point. I can't… I can't work with House anymore."

She sighed, lips pursed, looking up at him, this was exactly what she had been dreading.

"I- You know I can't control him… No one can."

"I know." He said, and she swore there was some odd emotion in his moment, though she couldn't put her finger on it.

"I was wondering… You made me an offer… Do you remember?"

Cuddy racked her brain, before finally remembering.

"I'll double your salary." She said, desperate

He was silent

"Chase and Cameron would mutiny if they found out." He said slowly, reluctantly

"Chase and Cameron wouldn't be heading up their own diagnostic group. You'll work in parallel with House. It'll be your practice. Separate staff, separate cases. Complete autonomy."

"I've only been doing this for three years." He said uncertainly

"Three years under House. No better training."

"And when that case comes along that I can't figure out? You know who I'd have to go to."

"Or you can just let that patient die. That's completely up to you."

Foreman sighed "No."

"Yes.." She said slowly, wondering exactly where this conversation was going.

"I was thinking… What would I have to do to for you to… Make that offer happen?"

"Well.." She said, shocked. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it. "I mean, I suppose… I suppose It can happen… I can't give you all the benefits, I mean, your pay won't be as go-"

"I'll take it." He said quietly, averting his eyes from Cuddy's face.

"Um, Okay, Is there anything you want to talk about? " She asked, concerned.

"Not exactly."

"Okay then, you'll need to find a team, I can help you"

"I can take care of that." He said quickly

"When do you want to start?"

"As soon as possible, Next week."

"I'll tell House."

"All right." He turned to leave, but paused mid-stride. "Cuddy?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you." And with that he turned and left, leaving a befuddled Cuddy.

Now to find my team He thought

Okay, that probably sucked, But hey, I tried. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!! Tell me if I should continue…. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
