Summary: When Cameron calls out sick, House is curious as to why.
A/N: Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updating. I'm rather bad at that. brick'd But I'm getting a laptop soon! As soon as Dell ships it that is So that means more updating and faster! Yayyy!! Anyway, I thought this was just a cute idea. It will probably only be a few chapters (three-ish, I'm thinking) and this is kinda just an intro type thing. Anyway, enjoy!

Stepping into the Diagnostics office, House froze while sniffing the air. "Something's wrong." He let the door swing shut behind him and limped further into the room, frowning. "The air is missing… kindness." Still frowning, House looked to the coffee pot. "And the scent of fresh coffee is also absent. Where's Cameron?" House demanded, turning to his two remaining ducklings sitting at the table. Chase was doing a crossword puzzle and Foreman was reading the morning newspaper. Both had been ignoring House but now they glanced up. Coffee cups from the cafeteria sat in front of them.
"She called in sick." Foreman answered simply, going right back to the newspaper.
"Sick? Carebears don't get suck… unless…" House gave an accusatory glare to Chase. "What wombat born illness did you give her? Rabies?"
"I didn't give her anything!" Chase responded with a scowl. "It's the dead of winter; she probably just has a cold."
"Oohh, a little defensive!" House stage-whispered in Foreman's direction. Foreman rolled his eyes. "Besides, she wouldn't skip work just because of a little cold."
"Colds are contagious." Foreman pointed out. "She probably called out so she wouldn't get us sick. How evil of her." House moved to the door again, pulling it towards him. "Wait, where are you going?" Foreman asked, confused. They didn't have a case at the moment, not that House would voluntarily see a patient.
"Clinic duty to get to. Those noses don't wipe themselves!" And with that, House was gone down the hallway. Foreman and Chase looked to each other with shrugs, silence falling over the two.
A few minutes later, Chase sighed. "Six letter word meaning disbelief of ones motives."
Foreman set the paper down in front of him. "Cynical."
