House slid the door closed to Lacey's room and headed down to Cuddy's office. When he got there he bursts in and says,
"What do you want?"
Without even looking up from her desk Cuddy said, "You were supposed to be in the clinic an hour ago, what were you doing?
"Consulting on a patient", House said.
Cuddy looked up at him with a raised eyebrow "Oh, with who", she asked him in a, I don't believe you tone.
"Stevens", House simply stated.
"A spine specialist", she responded.
"yeah, a scoliosis patient, Stevens believed it could be more", House said.
Cuddy looking down at House's hands "Is that the file?" House also looked down at his hands (shit, he forgot to put her file back) to her question House nodded. "can I see it?", Cuddy finished.
House jerked the file back, and said, "uh no!"
"And why not!", Cuddy demanded.
"because there is nothing to look at, their's nothing more than CP and scoliosis, I was just going to give Stevens back the chart", House responded.
"Well give the file back, then get your ass down to the clinic", as House turned to leave Cuddy continued "I'm not kidding House."
As House shut her office door, he said, "Yes boss lady"
House got off the elevator and headed down the hall to Lacey's room to put the file back, then stopped cold with that look in his eyes that could mean something good or very bad, he looked in one direction and saw the path leading to his office, then looked in the other and saw the path leading to Lacey's hospital room. It only took a minute to decide to head to his office. House plopped the chart down on his desk and said, "This could make for some very interesting reading later." He smirked to himself as he left his office and headed down to the clinic.
