Disclaimer; I don't own House.

An; we all know what happens

"Urm…well...urm…" Was he really going to hire this blonde haired dimwit with half a brain?

"Yeah." What had he done?

"When do I start, Doctor Henry?" Chase asked, perfectly well aware that he had got his name wrong. If he wanted to introduce himself as 'Doctor Zeus', he could put up with being called the wrong name in return.

"It's House and on Monday I suppose." House said half-heartedly, rolling his eyes at Cuddy and putting the phone down without even saying goodbye.

"That was a bit rude wasn't it?" Why she was saying that wasn't quite clear because rude was House through and through.

"What, I gave him the job for Gods sake, what else do you want me to do give him a medal?" House said whilst limping towards the office door as fast as he could trying to get away from Cuddy. Cuddy was quick to start following him to wherever they were heading. House gave up after a while, thinking he might as well face it now as he was never going to get Cuddy to stop nagging him and if he put up with it now, she would have less reason to later.

Once Cuddy had caught up with House she started talking to him again. "No but you could have at least said goodbye. Would it kill you to be nice?" Cuddy said, despite the fact that she was concentrating on a patient sat in the waiting room shouting at a nurse she stood in front of him trying to stop him when he turned and starting walking towards the patient who was shouting.

'Yes.' He called back, pushing the nurse out of the way and almost literally dragging the patient and the patient's mom behind him.

"Where are we going?" Asked the teenager,

"To the diagnostic room to - guess what - diagnose you." House said sarcastically

"I'M FINE, WHAT IS THERE TO DIOGNOSE?" Shouted the patient his teeth clenched, pulling away from House.

House stopped suddenly and asked, though he would no doubt forget it very soon, "Mom, what's his name?"

"Alan Oaks," Answered the woman apologetically.

"WILSON!" House shouted. Wilson came running, getting there just as House was walking out of the room.

"Wilson, diagnose him, I'm going home." Cuddy was watching and was – or would have been, had she not known what he was like - astounded as House started pressing the lift button when he saw Cuddy almost power walking towards him. Cuddy caught up with House.

"You can't just leave Wilson with a patient" Cuddy said following House into the elevator.

"Its five o'clock I'm going home. I can think at home as well as anywhere."

"Why did you –?"

"He was yelling at her."

"So you decided he had a mystery illness?"

"Figured it was a good patient for the new guy to break his teeth on." House smirked.

"You must be Doctor Robert Chase" Cuddy said, holding out her hand for him to shake and smiling.

House walked into his office wear Cuddy and Chase were stood "I don't have a single room that's private do I?" He complained, limping past the two of them.

"Meet your new employee, Doctor Robert Chase." Said Cuddy looking at House and pointing to chase

"Great, he can take over the annoying Adam." House said sitting to his desk.

"It's Alan."
