I'll Be There
House was sleeping was he heard his phone go off. It was 8:50 at night. He had just solved a really tough case and he had been up for almost 48 hours. He rolled over and ignored it. House knew it wasn't the hospital because no one left a voice mail. Then his phone went off again.
"Son of a bitch," House said as he grabbed the phone off the nightstand. "What?" House said when he answered the phone. Not a sound came over the line. "You have 5 seconds to speak before I hang up," he said. House then could hear something over the line. When House listened closer, he thought it sounded like someone was sobbing. He looked down at the phone to see the number of who was calling him, but it was an unknown number.
House then figured out who he thought it was calling him when he heard a baby start crying. "Cuddy?" House asked over the phone. "You need to answer me."
"House," Cuddy whispered through her tears.
"Where are you?" House asked in a panic. "Are you okay?"
"No," Cuddy said softly.
"Tell me where you are," House said.
"The mall," Cuddy said. House rushed to the front the door and slipped on some shoes and grabbed his keys. He left so fast that he didn't notice that he had left his cane until he was already driving.
"What side of the mall are you are Cuddy?" House asked. Cuddy didn't answer him. All he could hear was Rachel crying.
"Is Rachel okay?" House asked Cuddy.
"Yes," Cuddy said. "Where are you at the mall?" House asked.
"North side," Cuddy said.
"I am coming as fast as I can," House said. "Did someone hurt you?"
"Yes," Cuddy said with louder sobs. House felt the rage run through his body.
