This is the third story of this series.

It has been a little over a month since House and Cuddy went to the bed and breakfast together. Let's do an update.

House: is spending more and more time at Cuddy's. The only nights he spent at his place were a couple at the beginning of the month when Cuddy had to go to a seminar for the people on the board of directors. He made sure to call Cuddy during the seminar and in the middle of the night to make sure she was okay without.

Cuddy: has had to yell at House at the hospital a lot, but they personally haven't got into very many fights. She many yells at him for his lack of clinic duty.

Wilson: Cuddy invites him over to hang out a lot with her and House. He has also been hanging out with Chase a little.

Chase: actually got House to take him for a ride a few more times. He knows that is probably Cuddy's doing.

Cameron: is getting more used to House and Cuddy dating, but still hates when he talks about 'hitting that.' She can't help but look at Cuddy to see what is so wonderful about her.

Foreman: has been dating a nurse. House loves makes comments to her about how Foreman has the clap.

Natalie: has been seeing an engineer so doesn't see Cuddy as much. She still finds time to make fun of House whenever she sees him.

Had A Bad Day Again

Wednesday March 15

11:15am

"I see that you have finally made it to work," Cuddy said as House walked into the hospital. "Last night too much for you too handle?" Cuddy gave him a wicked smile that he was sure she learned from him. House was going to slap her on the butt, but Nurse Brenda came walking towards them. "What do you need?" Cuddy asked her knowing what House had on his mind.

"We have a patient in the ER screaming the abominable snowman is after him. He has a really high fever, but the ER doctors can't figure out what is wrong with him."

"That has your name written all over it Dr. House," Cuddy said to House after Nurse Brenda gave her the chart and left.

"Actually it has the name Peter Reeves written on it," House said reading the patient's name. "Good luck with that."

Cuddy stepped in front of House and stopped him from walking around. "If you start the case now, you may make it home before 7:00 so we can do something together," Cuddy said in a seductive voice.

"Is everything about sex to you?" House asked her and then stopped and looked her over. "I will see you at seven."

"That's what I thought," Cuddy said as she walked away.

House walked towards the elevator and saw Cameron come out of an exam room. "Dr. Cameron," House said in a sing-song voice. "Can I see you for a second?"

Cameron smiled and walked over to House. "We got a case?" Cameron asked when she saw the file in House's hand. House handed it to her.

"The abominable snowman is not real, right?" House asked her. Cameron looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. "No," Cameron said.

"I guess we can add paranoia and delusional to the list," House said.

House watched Cameron as a look of panic and fear came across her face. House looked to where she was looking at knew instantly why she was scared.

There before them was the man that had shot House twice right in front of House's team. "Get into that exam room," Jack says to them pointing a gun out from his coat. House and Cameron go into the exam room.

Jack locked the door behind them.

House and Cameron moved as far away from Jack as they could. House pushed Cameron behind him to try to shield her.

"You two will live if you do what I say. I may not have killed you the first time Dr. House, but I will not make a mistake again."

House could feel Cameron trembling as she clung on to his arm. "Let her go," House said to Jack.

"Two doctors will up the ransom money," Jack said to them.

"Give me your phones and pagers," Jack said to them.

Cameron and House took out their phone and pagers and placed them on the exam table. House was trying desperately to think up a plan on how to get them out of this mess.

"You are going to follow everything I say, you got it?" Jack said to them waving the gun in their faces.

House and Cameron nodded yes. "We are going out to the parking garage and you two are going to get in my trunk. If either one of you makes a noise, I will shoot both of you."

"You two will walk side-by-side out of the hospital and I will follow close behind you. If anyone approaches you and tries to talk to either one of you, say you are working on a case."

Jack jumped when House's phone went off.

The caller ID said Wilson. "Remember, I will be walking right behind you and will be able to hear whatever you say to them," Jack continued.

House and Cameron both nodded.

House's phone went off again.

Jack saw that it said Wilson again.

Jack moved around the table and pointed the gun at Cameron. "Answer it and make him go away."

House answered his phone.

"What do you want?" He asked Wilson.

"Do you want to go to lunch?" Wilson asked him.

"I just got a case. I have to go meet with the ducklings. I will call you later," House said to Wilson. Wilson said okay and hanged up the phone.

House put down the phone and Jack stopped pointing the gun at Cameron.

Cameron let out a deep breathe.

"We don't have a lot of money," House said to Jack. "I don't want your money Dr. House," Jack said to him. "I think the hospital has plenty of money to spare."

"How do you know that they will give you any money for us?" House asked. He really hoped that Jack did not know about him and Cuddy. He was happy he just saw Cuddy and knew that she was safe.

"I think they will give money for their best doctor and the nice, sweet doctor," Jack said. "It might hurt their reputation if they let you two die."

Jack picked up his phone and called someone.

House turned and looked at Cameron.

He could see the tears in her eyes. He reached out and grabbed her hand.

Cameron looked at his hand and just stared at it.

She then squeezed it.

Jack then shut his phone.

"Give me any medical tools you have on you," Jack said to them pointing at Cameron's stethoscope. House and Cameron emptied all of their pockets.

"Are you two ready?" Jack asked them. They nodded their head yes. Jack opened the door and looked around. He then motioned for House and Cameron to move out of the room.

Cameron stayed holding onto House's hand.

Nurse Brenda walked by and saw them holding hands.

Brenda thought that if House was stupid enough to cheat on Cuddy and flaunt in the hospital, then he deserved it when Cuddy killed him. Brenda was too busy thinking about this to notice the man walking behind them. House looked at her but Brenda looked away. She didn't want any part of his murder. Little did she know how much danger House was really in.
