Prologue

A/N- all characters in House and Third Watch are real, except for Caralyn and Officers Ammadeyo, Bailey, Callahan, Gagnon, Gray, Kingsley, Patchke, Reissfeld, and Whitney( so I think). I do not own either of them. If I did, I'd be SO HAPPY. This is my first fanfic. ENJOY!

"House!" Caralyn practically shrieked as soon as she was in his diagnostics office at PPTH. Yes, even though he was her father, she still called him House.

"Yes, Miss Annoying?" He looked up from whatever medical journal he was reading. She was wearing really low cut jeans, a 'The Who' t-shirt, and black Converse All-Star high tops. How had he not noticed how low cut her jeans were this morning when he dropped her off at school before heading to work on his motorcycle?

"The Drama Club at school is going on vacation for 2 days to see a play. Can I go?"

"Who else is going?"

"Chantal, Max, Dan, Trevor, and Scott. Besides, the whole Drama Club is going."

"Fine. How much is it and what do I have to sign?"

"20 bucks and this permission slip." She reached into her backpack and pulled out a permission slip. He grabbed it, quickly filled it out, and handed it back to her, along with the money.

"There. Now will you leave? I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with the dying girl."

"You mean Chelsea? The girl dying of neurosyphillis?"

"How'd you know?"

"How'd I know her name or how'd I know she was dying of neurosyphillis?"

"Both."

"Well, if you would even talk to a patient, then you'd know their name. And if you would socialize with them, you'd know she was raped 2 weeks ago. And considering she's hallucinating, you'd know. And-"

"What else??"

"If you asked your NEUROLOGIST, he said it made sense."

"Oh."

"I gotta run and get all my homework done, so I can pack some stuff to bring. They said bring some nice clothes. It's a fancy play and we're going out to eat after. Then staying in a hotel. The next day, we get to see BROADWAY!! I'm so excited. I can't wait!!"

"I can tell. I just lost some of my hearing."

"Well, I'm going to go finish my homework. Later, House," she said as she skipped out the door.

In New York

"Alright everybody, role call," Lieu said, as he walked into the room.

"Get it on, already. I'm in the mood to catch some criminal ass," said Officer Maurice Boscorelli (or Bosco, as most people called him).

"Enough, Bos. As soon as you shut up, we'll probably start," Officer Faith Yokas (Bosco's partner) said.

"It's impossible for him to shut up. He probably babbled for hours on end when he was a baby. He still does," Sully (really John Sullivan) said. He was the oldest, wisest (and possibly fattest) officer there. He had worked with Ty Davis, Sr., Davis's dad.

"Ok, guys. Just shut up. Let's start role call," Officer Ty Davis Jr. said. As soon as they were all quiet, they started.

"Ammadeyo?"

"Here."

"Bailey?"

"Here."

"Boscorelli, we already know you're here."

"Sure am, Lieu. I just love it here," Bosco said sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah. Callahan?"

"Yep," said one of the newbie officers, Aleisha Callahan. She was just like a female version of Bosco. She also had a crush on him. They got along pretty well.

"Davis?"

"Yeah, I'm here."

"Finney?"

"Here," Officer Brendan Finney said. His father was one of the bad cops at the 55.

"Gagnon?"

"Here," said another one of the newbie officers. His name was Garrett Gagnon. He, Aleisha, and fellow newbie officer Audrey went to the same school.

"Gray?"

"Here."

"Kingsley?"

"Here."

"Monroe?"

"Here," Officer Sasha Monroe said. She was kinda new and had been partnered with Bosco a few times. She also has a crush on Davis (Ty, Jr.).

"Patchke?"

"Here."

"Riessfeld?"

"Here."

"Sullivan?"

"Here."

"Whitney?"

"Here," said newbie Officer Audrey Whitney. She was a red-head and spastic. She had a crush on Alex Brown (a firefighter). The NYPD and FDNY had a long time rivalry (especially the 55, since they were across the street from each other). The firefighters told them to go direct traffic somewhere and the police officers called them bucket boys (well, maybe only Bosco and Aleisha).

"And Yokas?"

"Here."

"Well, that's done. Now, time for assignments. Monroe and Finney, you're in 55-Baker. Davis and Sullivan, you're in 55-Charlie. Yokas and Boscorelli, 55-David. The rest of you, you're either on foot or at the desk. Foot patrol and squad cars, go get your radios. Okay, we're done. Go."
