For some reason when I upload my story it is blending some lines from my other stories in with the news ones, so I am sorry if for some reason there is a stray line or two. I am trying to catch them all.
Handle With Care
House and Cameron made it out to the car without anyone else approaching them. Jack opened up the trunk to his car and motioned to House and Cameron. "Get in," he said to them. House sat on the edge of the trunk and lifted his bad leg slowly into the trunk.
He then lifted his other leg up and laid down in the trunk. Jack shoved Cameron and she got in the trunk lying face-to-face with House.
House and Cameron both jumped when Jack slammed the trunk shut.
Pitch black filled the trunk. House felt Cameron grab onto the front of his jacket.
They then heard the car start. They rolled around in the trunk as Jack sped out of the parking garage.
"Cameron, I need you to promise me something," House whispered to her. "Whenever I saw the word run, you run."
"I can't leave you House," Cameron said.
"You have to. I think he is going to kill us whether or not he gets the money. You running for help is the best shot we have."
"He might hurt you if I run," Cameron said. "He plans on hurting me anyway Cameron," House said. "You have to live incase he tries to go after Cuddy."
"Okay," Cameron said reluctantly. They drove in the trunk the rest of the way in almost complete silence. A few times, House told Cameron not to cry and that they would be okay.

Back at the hospital, Cuddy spotted Chase leaving an exam room in the clinic.
"Did you guys already solve your case?" She asked him looking at her watch. Chase looked at her confused.
"What case?" He asked. It was Cuddy's turn to look confused. "I gave House a case file 45 minutes ago," Cuddy said to him.
"He never paged me," Chase said.
Cuddy sighed thinking that House had ditched the case, so she went to the front desk. "Will you please page Drs. House, Cameron, and Foreman please," Cuddy said to the nurse at the desk.
Five minutes later, Foreman made his way to Cuddy and Chase. "Are you working on the case with House?" Cuddy asked him.
"No," Foreman said a little confused. "I haven't seen him all day."
They waited another five minutes and when House and Cameron did not show up, Cuddy asked the nurse to page them again.
"Have you seen House or Cameron?" Cuddy asked Brenda when she came walking by.
"Why?" Brenda asked. She did not want to be the one to tell Cuddy that House and Cameron left together.
"House is supposed to be working on that case file that you gave me but he never went and got his team," Cuddy said. Brenda knew she would have to say something.
"I saw him and Cameron leave a little more than half an hour ago," Brenda said. Foreman and Chase looked at Cuddy to see if she was thinking what they were thinking. So far, she didn't seem to be thinking that.
"Do you know where they went or what they were doing?" Cuddy asked Brenda. Brenda shook her head no.
"Maybe they were going to the patient's House," Chase said.
"Without even telling us about the case so we could be working on something when they are gone?" Foreman asked. Brenda cursed in her head.
"I don't think they were working on the case," Brenda said.
"Why do you say that?" Cuddy asked.
"They…were holding hands when they left," Brenda answered.
Foreman and Chase looked at Cuddy in shock. They saw her swallow hard.
"Are you sure?" Cuddy asked.
"It's not something I see everyday," Brenda said as her pager went off, which after reading it, she excused herself and left.
"What is going on with them?" Cuddy turned and asked Foreman and Chase.
"I know nothing, I swear," Chase said. "Me too," Foreman said. They watched her as she turned and left and went to her office. She needed to talk to Wilson.
"House is a dead man," Foreman said to Chase.
"Totally," Chase said back to Foreman.
"Hello?" Wilson answered his phone. "Why the hell was House holding Cameron's hand and leaving together?" Cuddy screamed to Wilson. Wilson held the phone away from his face to stop the ringing in his ears.
"I have no idea. Cuddy if you are worried House is cheating on you, I don't think that he would be holding Cameron's hand in the hospital. If you saw him making out with her, then I would understand why you are worried."
"You don't think something is wrong when right after I handed him a case he decides to leave hand-in-hand with Cameron?" Cuddy asked. "Too me, that sounds a little strange."
"House is strange, but that doesn't mean he is cheating on you."
"Then what where they doing together and why won't he answer his pages?"
"I talked to him about 45 minutes ago. He said he had to work on a case."
"Apparently, he was lying to you, which I know may come as a shock," Cuddy said sarcastically.
"I'll talk to him when he gets back and I am sure there is a logical explanation for all of this."
"If there is not, I am going to kill him," Cuddy said.
"As long as you don't overreact," Wilson said sarcastically. Wilson heard Cuddy hang up the phone.
Cuddy tried calling House, but his phone went to voice mail. What are you up to? Cuddy thought to herself. She then tried calling Cameron. Her phone also went to voice mail.
Cuddy didn't understand why, but her anger was slowly getting replaced with concern, knowing that Cameron almost never turned off her phone.

After they had been driving for about two hours, Cameron and House heard the car shut off.
They squinted their eyes when Jack opened the trunk. "Get out," he said to them. Cameron got out of the trunk and them reached and helped House up. They looked around and saw that they were in an old part of some town. Jack shoved them and they moved towards an old building.
