A/N: OK, so I stretched the medical rules so that the doctor admitted House was a patient. But I figured since they knew he was there it would be ok for a story. Enjoy!

Cameron took care of her responsibilities early the next day and made it to her old hospital in record time. Her feet took her to her past stomping ground. She didn't recognize the Fellow there but her former coworker Dr. Eric Foreman appeared to have taken over in lieu of House. Her feet took her beyond him. She would visit later.

Wilson, Department Head of Oncology, was miraculously alone. She knocked on the door frame. He looked up them smiled and stood. "Allison! I didn't expect you so early," he said as he pulled her into a hug.

"My department can run itself," she told him. "I want to go."

"Have you seen Foreman?" he stalled.

She crossed her arms. "James Wilson. Are you hiding something?"

He looked guilty. "He just doesn't know you've come."

She stopped clinching and smiled. "That will probably work in our favor."

"Visiting hour starts in about 45 minutes."

Since the institution was less than fifteen minutes away they moved out to greet Foreman.

They had a case and Foreman was writing on the sacred whiteboard. "Anything else?"

"Lupus," Cameron said, as a joke.

"It's not--" Foreman started then turned and saw her. "Hey!" He moved to her and gave her a one armed hug. "Guys, this is Allison Cameron."

She laughed. "You sound like they should know me."

"House mentions you a lot." He switched gears. "I was wondering when you'd come."

"Have you been there?" she asked.

"Are you crazy? I have a full time job babysitting. How do you like your gig?"

She smiled. "It's good. Fun. I like the teaching side of it."

"With or without the name calling?" he teased.

"I have to say I've never been as inventive as House."

"Who is? Have you seen Chase?"

Cameron grimaced. "Not yet."

"He'll hear you're here," Foreman warned.

"Then it's a good thing this is the last time I'll be here."

He looked surprised. "Just like that?"

"There's nothing for me here. I've come to help House. That's all."

"Ok, fair enough." He gave her another hug. "Good luck."

"Thanks. I'll probably need it."

Wilson drove Cameron to the placed House was being held in. "Now, don't be too disappointed, Cam," he told her.

She looked at him. "I'm not the same person I was when I left, Wilson."

He raised an eyebrow. "Meaning?"

"I've got a backup plan."

Wilson was right, even the surprise of Cameron there was not enough.

Cameron placed her hand on her hip. "I'd like to talk to his doctor."

"I'm sorry, Ms, but Dr--"

"I don't care what mundane thing Dr. House's doctor is involved in. I've just got in town and would like to know why he let his unstable patient reject stable influences."

"But, Ms--"

"Doctor," Cameron corrected, "and I would like an update directly form the doctor. Immediately."

After the nurse left Wilson's expression was a combination of awe and something she couldn't quite figure out.

"What?"

"You've grown balls, Cameron," he said. "House will be impressed."

"Dr?" the nurse was back. "The doctor will see you now," She led them back to an impressive office.

The doctor stood and shook Cameron's and Wilson's hand. "Good afternoon. I hear you'd like a status report on Dr. Gregory House. I apologize but unfortunately Dr. House has listed nobody on his form. As fellow doctors I know you understand I can't give out privileged information."

Cameron was seething. "You can't tell us about Hou--Greg then fine. But I believe you need to reconsider letting patients decide who they want to see when they are clearly being antisocial to spite their recovery."

The doctor thought for a moment, templing his fingers under his chin. "Interesting point. May I ask what your interest in the patient is?"

"We used to be lovers," Cameron lied with a straight face. "I'm afraid a promotion on my part drove us apart. I know Greg- he's probably being a stubborn ass and won't do anything to further his release. If you allow Dr. Wilson and myself to see him I can guarantee a difference."

"If you are right about his development how do you propose to follow through with your guarantee?" the doctor wanted to know.

Cameron gave a pretty smile. "Easy. He'll listen to us. Why else would he block us?"

"You better be right, Dr. Cameron," he said then stood. "Come on. Let's see the happy patient."
