Chapter One:
Cameron sighed as she laid her bag and briefcase at the side of her corner desk. It was 8 am and as always the first one there and she knew if they had a patient then she would also be the last to leave. She walked around the office and did her usual morning routine which consisted of making the coffee, checking her emails, then House's, and after all that she then had to take her and House's clinic hours. She had only gotten through with the coffee when both Foreman and Chase walked into the conference room. Both greeted her with a "Hi" and a nod which then earned them both a hot cup of coffee, Cameron, Foreman and Chase talked about their weekends as Cameron continued to check House's emails. It was only a few minutes later when House finally arrived through the door with a trailing Cuddy and Wilson.
Cuddy entered with a smile and she held up the folder for everyone in the room to see. "We have a patient by the name of a Ms.Tammy Renee, she's 20 years old, a singer who while on stage fainted. They brought her in with stomach pains and continuous vomiting." she said reading from the folder.
"OK, now tell me why I'd take this case." House whined grabbing the folder from Cuddy's grip.
"Because I am your employer and the dean of this hospital." she replied looking at him in utter disbelief.
"Your right you are...now again why would I take this case?" he asked looking down at the folder over the information.
"Because she's also pretty and she' been hallucinating since she's entered." she replied with a knowing smirk as House lifted his head from the folder.
"Yeah...well good luck." Cuddy stated as she walked out of the conference room.
"OK it seems we have a new patient...so diagnosis?" house spoke as he walked toward the white board.
"It could be taking a drugs." Chase stated as he bit the top of his pen.
"No, tox screen was clear, besides she sings jazz...she's not some hip- hop or rock star. Minus one for the Brit. Next!!"
"Maybe she has the flu, from the stage she got overheated while she still had a fever, she passes out and with that the dehydration mixes with the flu, when this happens she gets disoriented and hallucinates." Foreman stated looking over the patient file.
"Good! Not to bad. Any other theories."House replied turning to Cameron.
"What about food poisoning. She eats on the road alot, she probably ate something bad and is now getting sick from it." Cameron suggested taking off her glasses.
"Good, I like that. Foreman give her a blood test, Cameron get the family history, and Chase for your brilliantly stupid diagnosis you get to take my clinic hours." House said throwing his badge to Chase.
When Chase, Foreman and Cameron all left from the conference room, Wilson just smiled and followed House into his office.
"You know her don't you?" Wilson asked sitting at the chair in front of House's desk.
"Yep, who doesn't...like totally.. she's the next big thing in jazz! Jeez Wilson a little E! would do you some good." House said in his best valley girl voice while he played with his cane.
"You always had the intention of taking the case didn't you? I mean you off all people would never pass up the opportunity to get free tickets would you." Wilson replied rubbing his forehead.
"Yep. Which reminds me. Me and you are due to go see our patient now." House replied with a smirk as he got out from his chair and walked out the room, Wilson in tow.
------------------------------------------
"Has there ever been any family history of cancer?" Cameron asked sitting in front of the sick patient Tammy.
"Well, no...not that I'm aware of, my family and I aren't the closest you know." Tammy replied then she had coughed a little into a Kleenex.
"Yeah..well thank you Tammy, I'm sure everything will be fine, probably just some bad food." Cameron reassured her as she wrote something on the patient's chart.
"Of course everything will be fine... every things fine in Dr.Cameron's world. There's bunnies, and cute puppy dogs.." House interrupted as he entered further into the room.
"Dr.House I presume..." Tammy replied with a weak smile.
"Yep, that's me good ole Dr.House. You probably have heard about me from my reputation as a handsome, well to do, all around good guy." Dr.House stated stepping closer as Wilson leaned against the door frame.
"Yeah I know you, except they actually call you a dick ...I'm glad you live up to your reputation." Tammy replied with a smirk and a daring eye glance.
"Well you know reputations can always be snuffed up when people become jealous." House replied leaning against the window of the room.
Just then Cameron's cell phone went off, excusing herself to Tammy she quickly answered her cell. "Allison." she said into the phone.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you it was impolite to take calls in front of a patient geeze." House replied agitated but when Cameron's face went neutral House couldn't help but try to ease drop.
"Yes...yes...that would be great...at 8...OK..bye..you too..bye." Cameron said into the phone before closing the cell phone and putting it away. "I'm sorry Tammy." she replied with a smile.
"It's totally cool, I know how it is." Tammy replied then suddenly the smile turned into a deep frown.
"You OK." Cameron asked sitting up from her chair.
"I...I don't feel so..." Tammy replied before throwing up but this time that throw up was blood.
"Turn on your side." Cameron instructed as she turned Tammy force ably to the other side.
House raised an eyebrow and turned to Wilson "It seems I may never get to use those tickets even if I got 'em" House replied walking out of the room.
