A/N: I know it's short, but the other chapters won't be as short and won't jump around.

Season Three P.O.V. Cameron

Walking around the hospital is always interesting. Except those terrified families of a dying patient. My heart always goes out to them because I'm not sure what I would do if I was in their position either. Most of these people don't even go home. When I got up to House's office, Chase, Foreman and House started walking down the hall toward me.

'What's going on?" I asked. He tossed a file at me.

"You, Foreman and Chase have a patient. I have to go hide out in the clinic."

"Why are you hiding?" I asked confused.

"House has clinic duty. If he hides there that's the last place Cuddy will suspect." Foreman stated.

"Oh." I replied and then looked at him.

"Why don't you just get your clinic duty over with instead of hiding?" House scoffed and walked towards the elevator while Foreman, Chase and I walked into what I assumed was the room of our latest patient.

P.O.V. Cuddy

I was on the phone speaking with my sister when Doctor Wilson came into my office. I waved him in. He sat down and I turned away to finish my call. After I hung up, I turned back to see him. I sat on the edge of the desk.

"Yes Wilson?" He sighed.

"I can't find House. There are probably fifteen people sitting at the clinic with no doctor there to help them out." He responded. I sighed loudly.

"I don't believe this! Where is House?" I asked. Then I paused. "Have you talked to his team?" Wilson shook his head no.

"I'll go look for them. If they don't know or don't tell me, I'll take care of the clinic myself." Wilson stated. I shook my head no. That wouldn't be necessary. Wilson walked out of the office and I wasn't sure what to do. My mother's dying. The doctors are only giving her about a month to live. I want to go see her. My big problem right now is finding somebody to watch the hospital.

P.O.V. Wilson

I got up to the third floor of the hospital before I found House's team. Cameron was standing in the back of the room so I went over to her.

"Hi Allison."

"Oh hello Wilson." Cameron said looking at me.

"Where's House?" Cameron gave me a strange look while Chase walked over to us.

"He's at the clinic." He stated. I shook my head.

'I was just at the clinic. He wasn't there."

"He's hiding out." Foreman sighed.

"What?" I walked out of the room and back down to the clinic. Several people stood up. I looked at them. "sit here and there will be a doctor soon." I walked over and opened the door to the consultation room and House was sitting there.

"House!" I exclaimed. He looked up at me.

"How'd you find me?" I sighed.

"Foreman told me." House slammed down his cane.

"I knew I should have fired him."

"House! You have patients." I motioned towards the door. He glared at me. "I'll get Cuddy." I threatened. Just then the door opened. We both looked at it. There was Cuddy, Foreman, Cameron and Chase.

"What's wrong?" Cuddy opened her mouth but nothing came out.

"I need to talk to all of you." Cuddy finally replied.

"What's the matter?"

"There has been an emergency. I have to leave the hospital for several days. Maybe even a week or two."

"Oh Lisa." She sighed.

"Since I won't be here I need somebody to be able to handle the hospital while I'm gone." She paused and took a deep breath.

"I'm sure whoever you choose will be capable Doctor Cuddy." Cameron piped up.

"I hope so." She walked into the room. "I have given it a lot of thought and I have made my final decision." She looked at me for a brief moment and then looked past me. "Doctor House, I'm leaving you in charge while I'm gone."
