Chapter 1: Directions
House and Cuddy had just arrived from a symposium in Singapore. They landed in JFK and decided go around New York before going back to Jersey. House, being the arrogant ass he is, never asked for directions.
"Relax Cuddy. I know where we're going." House said.
"Maybe so, but couldn't we just ask for a taxi?" Cuddy asked.
"Hey. I know this city by heart."
They continued to walk on and on until they reached uncharted territory.
"Oookay. I think we're lost" House said.
"And you say that without a taxi to call on for blocks. So much for your city." She looks to House with that oh brother look. "Common let's go back."
"Oh please. Let's just ask directions here."
"Let me guess… your people?"
House looks to her and gives her an obnoxious smile. They went across the street to find a shop.
"Canal Street Electronics. Hmmm… looks friendly and closer than a taxi."
"Let's just get this over with House. I want to go back. I'm tired."
"Cuddy, Cuddy, Cuddy. Where's the adventure in you?"
They come in the store but find no one guarding the front. They waited awhile but Cuddy was getting impatient.
"Common House, let's just go."
House did not listen to Cuddy and insisted to see the person managing the shop.
"Hello! Is anyone here?"
Suddenly, they heard a noise at the back. A few moments later, a small man came out.
"Ahh couples. Hello there. Welcome to Canal Street Electronics. What can I do you for? Can I interest you in some electronics?" the small man said.
"Actually we're not couples. We just want to ask for directions to Radio City."
"My apologies. I don't know where this 'Radio City' is but I think my grandson would know. Wait here let me go get him."
The small man went to the back. House and Cuddy heard the man scream to the top of his voice. "Jake!! I need you downstairs." Then, they hear screaming in Chinese.
"Friendly huh?" Cuddy said.
"Shut up." House said getting a little irritated.
A boy then goes to the shop. He is a teenager. Probably thirteen or fourteen. He is wearing a red jacket and blue shorts. Physically fit. But what House noticed really distinct about his appearance was his green hair.
"Judging by the screams, you messed something up. You training for something?"
"Yeah… uh… how'd you know?" The teen asked.
"Let's just say I speak a little Chinese too."
"Right…Uh… can I help you?" he asked.
"Do you know how we can get to Radio City." Cuddy asked.
"Oh. You first take the subway …" As he was saying the directions, Cuddy was paying attention but noticed House was not. She looks to House.
"House. This is what you wanted right?"
The teen then looked at House.
"Sorry. Go on."
"Anyway, if you walk, it's eighteen blocks from here…" House noticed something else. Cuddy was also confused.
"I thought you said we should take the subway." Cuddy asked.
"I did. That's what I said. Didn't I?"
"Uh… did you just hear yourself?" House said.
"Who said that!" he demanded.
"Uh… kid? You okay?"
He then falls down and passes out. His grandpa comes in and sees his grandson on the floor.
"What happened?"
"He passed out. What does it look like?" House said.
"Let me take. I need to give him medical attention." The old man said.
"Actually, why don't you let us handle it. We're doctors." Cuddy said.
"So much for Radio City." House said.
