CHAPTER 1
Dr. Allison Cameron pushed open the door to her boss's office, grinning excitedly. Her boss, Dr. Greg House stared up at her in amusement as he continued playing his PSP.
"What are you on and where can I get some? More meth?"
Cameron sighed in frustration and rolled her eyes and revealed a large envelope behind her back.
"No! God, we're still bringing this up?"
"Not a lot else happens, so expect this to continue for a while," he commented.
Smiling slightly, she sat down opposite his desk, and held out the envelope. "Here, this is for you."
Taking it cautiously, he held it up to the light. "Naked pictures? Please say yes."
Cameron gave him an icy stare, and he nodded in defeat, opening the seal. When he saw what was inside, his eyes widened in shock.
"No way!" he exclaimed like a small child at Christmas.
Cameron beamed at his delight and nodded. "Way."
"How did you get this?!" he demanded.
"My brother Bryan is an entertainment writer in LA. He gets stuff like this for me all the time, and I asked him to do this one."
"You are so getting a pay rise," House commented, staring at his gift.
"Why does Cameron get a pay rise?" complained Dr. Robert Chase as he and Dr. Eric Foreman entered House's office.
House looked up at his other two employees and raised an eyebrow. "Because she has achieved my greatest dream."
Triumphantly, he held up what had been in the envelope. It was a picture of Angelina Jolie, with "To Dr. House. Keep up the great work, you have quite a reputation. Even in Hollywood. Love, Angelina." Scrawled down the bottom.
"Is it real?" asked Foreman in disbelief.
Cameron nodded and explained to the boys about her brother. "I get them all the time. It's awesome."
"So, who else have you got?" Chase asked her.
Cameron thought about it. "Uh, the cast of FRIENDS, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore... heaps."
"You have more than one brother, don't you?" asked Foreman.
"Yeah. Alex's the oldest, and he's in New York; then there's Bryan in LA; Sarah in Colorado; and then me," Cameron explained.
They fell silent, and then House suddenly called out, "Wilson! Check this out!"
Startled, the three employees turned to see Dr. James Wilson, House's best friend passing the office. At House's call he reluctantly turned and entered the room.
"What is it?"
House held up the picture in reply and Wilson's jaw dropped. "How on earth did you get that?"
Laughing, Cameron explained and then she, Chase and Foreman left the room to get back to work.
