A/N: Do not own the characters! Enjoy...oh, and I am aware that House is OOC at some point. Be nice. It's my story!
Dr. Allison Cameron laughed as her colleagues Drs. Eric Foreman and Robert Chase started an animated conversation about a character's death on Grey's Anatomy. "You do realize that episode was the season finale and is months old," she stated to them.
They both looked at her like she had lost her mind. "And?" Chase asked. "We have never seen it."
She shrugged and leaned in. "When did you realize it was--"
"Cameron!" their boss, Dr. Greg House, bellowed from his office through the glass door.
She rolled her eyes. "Excuse me. The Pinball Wizard calls."
The boys chuckled at the reference to House's shirt.
She stood and stick her head in his door. "You rang?"
He never looked up from his game as he gestured to the phone receiver sitting on his desk. "Tell your boyfriend my phone is not a sex line."
Unperturbed by years of House she answered the phone. After just a minute she sat heavily on the edge of his desk and put her free hand to her face.
House looked up curiously as he tried to gleam the conversation- hard when Cameron's only words were one syllable.
"When?...How?...God..." Finally, she said, "No. I understand. I'll be right there." Once she hung up the phone she covered her face with her remaining hand.
House finally said, "Things can't be all that bad. I'm not dead."
She finally looked up, eyes red from unshed tears. "No, but Maggie is. I have to go." She stood suddenly, rushed to get her purse then rushed just as quickly out of the door towards the elevator.
House got up and made his way to the confused boys. "Does Cameron have a dog named Maggie?" he asked, stupefied.
They shook their heads. "Not that we know of," Foreman said.
