Ch.1
It was one of those long days at the hospital again, the kind that just want to make you shoot yourself several times. A day just like any other day. Medical issues, stupid people, extended conversations; the list will always go on. But not this day. Today seems much more different, it seems….short. House limped down the long white hallway infested with all sorts of people, cane sternly in hand. A young and attractive blonde haired woman was busily at work sorting papers. She heard the pitter patter of a very familiar sound, House's cane. She instantly looks up smiling at the tall, handsome, brilliant colored haired man simply known as House.
"House!"The young blonde behind the front desk yells hoping to get his attention.
He abruptly stops in his tracks; he looks down at her with a questioning glare.
"Don't forget that there's a new doctor starting today." He clears his throat about to give his little acknowledgement of her wording. "I don't see what that has to do with me."
She grabs some papers from her desk and hands them to the doctor. He extends his hand jerking the papers away. He quickly flips through them glancing at every other page not at all interested in them. He throws them back onto her desk knocking over some pens from her writing utensil tray. She quickly picks up the knocked over items hoping that this humiliation will be over. She places the papers back in the manila folder.
"And this new doctor is the new member of your team." House looks intently at her.
"New member? What new member? Why in the hell am I just hearing this now!?"
She rolls her eyes at him. "The new member of your team will be arriving shortly."
He shifts his weight and loosens his grip on his cane.
"I didn't give any interviews for this job, how in the hell can there be a new doctor!?"
He reaches over the counter, grabs a cherry sucker, and places it in his pocket.
"Well," She responded looking directly at her computer screen. "The department wanted to give this interview themselves. They said that you intimidate too many people who try out here."
House gave her the most evilest, disagreeing stare that she has ever seen.
"I do not."
The blonde bombshell from behind the desk rolls her eyes once more at the overly sarcastic doctor. He mumbles something under his breath as he strolls away to his office. Walking down the long narrow hallway, he runs into a man who he had not seen in a few short hours, Chase. The young and attractive doctor smiles at him.
"Ohhh House, there you are. I was just wondering-----" He instantly is cut off by the older man.
"Not now wombat, I have to go to my office."
He waves a hand dismissing Chase. He remains there watching him limp off into the distant, trying to figure out what has just happened. He had been preparing for this very moment for such a long time, forever it seemed. He sighs deeply walking slowly away with his head held low. House opens the door to his office and stops completely in his tracks. What he sees in front of him is a tall, medium jet-black haired man with piercing light brown eyes. He has a small black goatee that shoots down his lip to his chin. His flowing jet-black hair hangs in his face obstructing his view of the man standing in front of him. A pure white doctor's coat drapes over his slender body.
"Who in the hell are you and how in the hell did you get into my office!?"
House yells observing this strange man, he tightly grips his cane. The mysterious man slyly smiles.
"I am Dr. Septis Setzer Blackout, the new doctor of your team."
The name Blackout seems so familiar to House, but what it is about that name?
"You have no right to waltz in here like Dracula." Septis walks over past the desk and sits in House's black leather chair. He cannot believe what this ass is doing! No one treats the infamous Dr. House like that! There is a small almost not heard knock on the door.
They both look over to see Chase standing there staring at both of them." House…"
Chase says softly in almost a whisper.
"I'm in the middle of something very important right now. Come see me later."
Chase stands there dumbfounded, not wanting to believe a single word of this. He walks slowly away from the door and stops to where he cannot be seen, he stands there intently waiting to hear what is going on.
"So House, I have heard some rather interesting things about you," Then man known as Septis pauses. "I just want to know if they are true…"
House tries to step back but his cane catches his balance and allows him not to go anywhere. Septis leans forward and kisses the other doctor gently on his lips. House quickly moves his cane and steps back wiping the other man's saliva from his lips. His eyes grew as wide as saucers, his heart racing fast with the sound of his beating heart in his ear. Septis flashes a warm smile.
"I knew you were that type of doctor."
