THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
"Maybe his nervous system is breaking down," suggested Chase.
"Arrr, did itty-bitty Chasey think that up all on his own!" House said sarcastically as he walked over to the whiteboard.
Suddenly a bolt of agonizing pain shot through his damaged leg, he winced in pain and grabbed hold to the table.
"Are you all right?" Cameron said, concerned.
"I'm fine," growled House, ignoring Chase and Foreman's looks.
He reached his hand instinctively into his jacket pocket. He rolled his eyes.
"I'll be back in a minute," he sighed limped painfully into his office - Which for some unknown reason, had shutters covering up the view from inside the office.
"He should be back by now," said Cameron worried as she looked at her watch.
"He probably went to watch TV," laughed Chase.
"No, he hasn't, he went to get some of his pills," She said annoyed, "and I'm going to see what he's doing cause he knows were he keeps his pills!"
Chase and Foreman looked at each other with shock; they had never seen Cameron angry at them before. They watched her walking angrily out, striding to House's office door from the corridor - his other office door was locked.
Cameron stood in front of House's office and knocked. There was no answer. "I know you're in there House," she said.
Still no answer. She pushed the door gently. It moved a bit. She pushed the door harder and the door swung wide open.
"House!" She gasped.
The floor was littered with vicodin pain killers. In the middle of them, on the floor, was House. He was withered up in pain on the floor. His eyes flicked as he saw Cameron run over to him. He gasped in pain then shuddered and went limp.
Cameron was in a state of panic. House had gone limp in her arms.
'Think, Cameron, think' she thought as she held House.
'Yes' she thought as she spotted a communicator pager on the desk.
(The thing that the doctors use when something was happening to a patient e.g. heart attack, seizure.)
She held down the button on the side of the black communicator and talked through the speaker to the nearest registration office.
"This is Doctor Cameron speaking, we need a spare nurse or two in room 34 and a gurney to the left of Dr House's office please!'
"Right away, they will be up in a tick!" the registration accountant answered.
"And before you go, tell Doctor Chase and Doctor Foreman to get their skinny asses in Houses office right now," said Cameron.
"Will do," chuckled the accountant as he turned off the communication box.
"Dr Foreman and Dr Chase I have an important message for you," chuckled the speaker on the table by Chase.
"Chase and Foreman here, what's the message?" replied Chase from the other end.
"Dr Cameron says get your skinny asses in the room left to Dr. House's office," laughed the speaker as he turned off the communication box.
'That's the funniest thing that's happened all week!' thought the accountant happily.
"What do you think has happened?" asked Foreman when the speaker's voice had gone.
"Why doesn't she tell us herself?"
"Probably House wants to accuse us of nicking his pills or something," said Chase as they lumbered into House's office.
When they looked through the door at House they froze.
"Is he alright, what happened," asked a surprised Chase to Cameron as he sat down and checked House's pulse.
"I'll tell you after; he needs to get into one of the ward beds." She said as he helped her to lift House onto the gurney.
