Hey, this is my first fan fic, so please don't judge it too harshly, but I would love any suggestions or help on how I can improve.
"Excuse me, do you know Dr. Chase?" asked a young woman, not much younger Cameron to Foreman.
"Yeah" answered Foreman.
"He works here doesn't he? Can you tell me where he-" Chase appeared around the corner, standing still in his tracks when he saw her.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he said, running over to her and giving her a hug. Foreman walked away puzzled. It was the first time he had seen Chase show affection to someone comfortably.
"Who's blondie?" asked House, who had seen this at a distance.
"No Idea, she just came to me looking for Chase," answered Foreman, looking back to see the two talking, "she had an Aussie accent."
"Long lost girlfriend struggling to let go?" House suggested as the two stepped into the lift together.
When Foreman and House walked in the conference room Cameron was doing her loving duty of making coffee for everyone. "Where's Chase?" she inquired, visibly worried. Recently Chase had practically lived in the conference room with the daily crossword out of the newspaper.
"Chatting up one of his own kind in the lobby," House said, taking a seat next to the whiteboard.
"Why are you here?" Chase asked after a brief hug.
"Mum and Dad were killed in a car crash. My friend was murdered. I have just inherited part of the family fortune so I have money coming out of my ears and I have nothing left in Australia so I thought I would come and see you," the woman answered in a fluster.
"Auntie Rowena and Uncle Rex! Dead!" Chase said alarmed.
"Sorry I didn't call, I lost your number, I have to go, see you soon." And with that she walked out the front doors of the hospital and down the street. Chase stood still for a few seconds and then his pager went off. It was House. Groaning, he headed to the conference room to be with the others.
The team had a new patient and everyone except Chase, was bouncing off ideas of what she could have. Cameron looked over to Chase. She was apparently the only one who had noticed his silence. He had a rather blank look on his face and looked like he was about to burst into tears.
Thanks for reading, more to come, I'll try not to be to slow! Please review!
