Chapter 3 (The next morning)
Lisa came into her office the next morning, looking for a note from House for his two week notice. There wasn't one. Then again, it was early, so he wouldn't have been in yet. She talked to Vayne the night before, and promised him she'd call with any news about House. She at her desk, answering phone calls and such.
The time came that she knew that House was to arrive for work. She took baby steps, so he could get in and at least coverse with his team, if they had a case. She got there, and saw he wasn't there. Oddly, she was surprised.
She went back to her office, and dialed up his cell phone. Of course, he didn't pick up. She didn't bother leaving a message, since he never bothers checking it for messages, anyway. Next, she tried his house phone. Again, no answer.
She was starting to get edgy. 'Maybe he's planning something,' she thought. She called the team from the differential room. Taub picked up, and she said to him when House arrived to give her a call in her office. He said he would, and she hung up, saying good bye.
At 10:30, Taub called her back, and said House arrived, but that he looked mad. Innocently, she said 'Thank you' and hung up. She walked to House's office, and there was no kidding by Taub; House did look a little ticked. She opened the door and the first thing she said was 'Your face', because he had shaved himself. House didn't answer her; he just looked at her and was taking stuff out of his backpack.
She went to speak again, but before she could, House interrupted her. He said, in an angry tone 'You think that's funny.' Lisa said 'I don't know what you are talking about.' House said 'You got my motorcycle towed.' She said 'As funny as that is, it wasn't me.'
House looked at her skeptically, but didn't continue on, as he knew when she was lying. She wasn't, he could tell. He then said 'So you didn't do it, because of what I did to you yesterday?' Lisa said, in a stern voice 'No.'
House sighed and said 'Again, I really am sorry about yesterday.' Lisa said 'Forget it. Thing of the past.' She did mention about his face again. She said 'You shaved? Why?' House ignored her again and said 'And I REFUSE to give you a 2 week notice. Do you know how long you were waiting for someone with my expertise to come along?'
Lisa looked like someone just told her that Vayne was cheating on her. She looked to House and said 'I meant what I said yesterday. You need to give me your 2 week notice.' House started to get a little more angry and said 'And I said 'I don't have it'. How much plainer do I have to be?' Lisa said 'Fine. Stay here. But you'll regret it. I'm going to make your life a living hell.' House chuckled and said 'Let the games begin.'
