CHAP 1 – A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER
Dr. Gregory House, came limping in Diagnostics Department that morning and like every other day he threw the folders on the glass table, where his team was preparing to start work.
The patient described in the folder was a homeless man; in his 28-year-old nicknamed Shark who regurgitates something similar to stools, while presented himself on the streets with his mandolin.
Thus, the team, after spending a few minutes trying to get a plausible diagnostic, decided to split into two groups; Foreman and Thirteen were treating the patient with steroids to awaken him, while Chase and Taub were investigating where exactly lived Shark
'' I know you do not like working with Taub, Chase, but I'm following Cameron´s orders, if I put you to work with Thirteen, she will get furious.'' sneered House, before dismissing the team. Late that afternoon, after the team return to the office, everyone had very interesting stories to tell.
When they awaken shark, Foreman and Thirteen, found that the man was suffering from a severe case of schizophrenia, however, at the time, he just wanted to go back to the streets, with his mandolin. On the other hand, Taub and Chase, found out that Shark lived in a cardboard-made house in the slum near Princeton and were addicted in all kinds of drugs, included one nicknamed ''Angel Dust''
''interesting.'' Points House, after hear the story.
''it's nothing interesting in this case, House, this guy is a walking-garbage, without saying that it is dangerous to approach him.'' Contest Chase worried
''be dangerous is interesting... Thirteen, you and Taub make a colonoscopy on the '' Fish'' Chase, you and Foreman could…''
''nope, if you excuse me, House, I have a quick date with a pretty girl in the ER.'' The Aussie smiles and run out of the office, before House said anything.
In the ER, Dr. Cameron-Chase, divided into caring for her patients and organize the massive paperwork that accumulated on the table, when suddenly, a pair of male hands, cover her eyes. ''guess who?'' Chase laughs.
''Hmm? I know, its Foreman, or no, it's Taub.'' She laughs too
''wrong.'' Chase spin her around and kiss her lips. ''I bet none of them kiss so graciously.''
''I never proved anyway. So, how is everything upstairs?''
''the same, House found a new patient, the guy have the nickname Shark, he is a walking-garbage, but House insist in let him stay'' Whispered the doctor, with concern in his eyes
''I can help with something, this patient could be dangerous, may I talk to House, I can convince him to drop the case.'' Cameron suggests
''I don´t think he will listen to you, anyway, this guy must be dangerous and I don't want my wife to get hurt. Now I got to go, see you at home. Bye.'' He kiss her good bye and return to work
The rest of the day was quiet for all the doctors of the hospital, including House and his team. After doing the necessary tests in Shark, was been discovered that he had a severe stomach ulcer, besides some STDs and other complications due to drug abuse, in other words, he was a goner, that House persisted in decipher.
Later that night, after receiving an unfair punishment from House, Thirteen had to spend the night in the hospital, with the monotonous task of monitoring the patient.
In the early hours of the shift, everything seemed to be going well when suddenly, passing by the patient's door, she finds him turned to the side, whispering some incoherent words.
As a doctor, sheknew she should not approach a schizophrenic man alone, but that situation was just leaving Thirteen intrigued.
''Are you okay?'' she ask politely, touching his arm, but without warning, Shark grab her pulse and look at her with a ghostly look.
''you and the others are not going to take me, I will kill you and your crony first, you filthy alien.'' He moaned
''you are hurting me.'' She snapped, when suddenly, Shark grab her throat and start to strangle the doctor. Fortunately for her, two tough nurses, were passing by, watched the scene and rushed to save the doctor and sedate the dangerous patient.
''are you okay, Dr. Hadley?'' ask one of the nurses
''I'm okay, Carter, thank you.'' she smiles
''you want us to warn Dr. Cuddy about the event?''
''no need, I think. Let's get out of here.'' Comment Thirteen concerned and scared, unknowingly however, that the worst was yet to come.
