The Truth Amongst Lies (Part 1)

As House is making his way back to his office, after yet another heated discussion with Cuddy over working in the clinic, he spots a young brunette sitting at his desk. He stops abruptly and stares at her trying to place her, she seems familiar but he just can't work out where he knows her from? Ex-patient? No, they would never visit him, even if he had saved their lives. Suddenly the young girl looks up and spots him. Standing up, she makes her way over to where House seems to be rooted to the spot, finally realizing that he may not have met this girl before but he has met one who looks a lot like her.

"I'm Izzy and you must be House." The girl said extending a small thin arm out towards House.

"Yeah, that's me, but I would prefer if you called me Doctor House. I mean since I have no idea who you are and all." House replied mockingly, still unsure whether this girl was who he thought she was. "And to what do I owe this pleasure, Izzy?" He continued stepping around her and into his office, limping over to his desk.

"Just in town, thought I'd come check out where my more successful, more beautiful and more talented sister was working." She said looking around House's office as if expecting this to explain everything, including who she was.

"Ah, I take it you are related to Thirteen." House stated, leaning back, finally beginning to get a grip on the conversation.

"Thirteen? No. My sister is Remy, Remy Hadley. Sorry, I thought she worked for you." Izzy stumbled, quickly getting up, embarrassed at her own stupidity. She must have misheard her sister on the phone when she said her boss was Dr. House.

"Oh, no, that's what I meant," House quickly said, anything to get the girl to stay so he could grill her about the more personal aspects of her sister's mysterious past. Izzy looked back at him quizzically, obviously confused at how someone could say Thirteen but have meant Remy.

"Thirteen is her nickname." House stated, standing to follow the girl should she continue to make her way out of his office. However, she turned around smiling and sat back down across from House.

"Oh, OK, that's a weird nickname. At least it's logical for people to call me Izzy when my name's Isabella." Izzy stated, suddenly feeling much more relaxed around this man she had never met.

"Yeah, it's a long story, anyway," House said, trying to steer to conversation to the more sordid details of Thirteen's private life. "Thir- I mean Remy never mentioned she had a sister."

"Of course, she didn't that's just like her! Even back home she told people I was an orphan who our parents found when I was just a baby." Izzy vented, feeling strangely comfortable talking about her family's past with this stranger.

House chuckled at the absurdity of the statement, there was no way anyone could say they weren't related, he himself had picked it without knowing anything about the young girl.

"So, Izzy, how old are you?" House questions, wondering why the girl would be visiting when it is half way through the school term.

"I'll be 16 next month," Izzy replied, checking her watch. "Oh, 3 o'clock already! I have to go… I have a err… An appointment." Izzy stumbles her way through her explanation for her sudden need to leave.

House abruptly stands as if to stop her but she was already gone before he could even decide what to say next. He was even more annoyed that he hadn't gotten any information out of the young girl about her sister.
