After four hours of winy snot nose kids, and winy sick adults, House headed to his office to pick up his backpack, and head home.

As he was getting ready to leave, he saw the chart he had plopped down hours earlier. He decided to sit down and read and he was surprised no one had come looking for it. (Certainly they knew it was gone by now.) He blocked that thought out as soon as he started reading pages of patient history.

It was odd to House, that he even wanted to read this chart, normally nothing diagnostic would bore him. He read about Lacey's 15 various operations and near death complications. He read about her brief time in a posterior walker, when she was younger, but after her hip surgery in '97, she lost a great deal of her strength. As he closed the file he noticed her birth date 1/12/85, House's eyes widened. (She was only 22.)

He jolted when Wilson entered the room; House looked up at him as he quickly closed the file.

"What are you doing here so late, cruising the cancer ward for a date?" House said.

Yeah that's exactly what I do to find a date." Wilson retorted. "So way are you here usually you're the last one in, and the first out," he continued.

"Yeah, well I have to return a file to one of Johnson' patients." As he said this, he grabbed the chart and stood with his cane. As House headed for the door as Wilson said,

"Wait Johnson is a spine specialist; you had a consult with him?" Wilson said.

"Yeah, got a problem with that?" House snapped back.

"No…I just…uh."

(House interrupts Wilson.) "Look there's nothing I can do….there's noting to be done.

"Oh is the patient terminal?" Wilson asks sincerely.

Sarcastically House says, "NO! Not unless you can die from Cerebral Palsy and scoliosis."

"That's it, there's noting diagnostic about that.

"Duh, I know, that's why I'm returning the file." House retorted.

Wilson studied House's face for a moment, before commenting. "Wait a second, there's something more going on here."

"What are we going though some twilight zone, I just told you there is nothing to diagnose." House said.

"I know, and you're still interested, which means if the case is boring, then….could it be that you are interested in the patient".

House looked stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Of course not." (A little too quickly.)

Wilson smiled as he said, "You are interested, is the patient a woman."

To this House did not respond.

"It is, oh my god. This is too good." Wilson said happily.

"Oh shut up I don't have time for these school girl antics." House said as he turned the opposite direction of Wilson and head down the hall.

Wilson just stood there shaking his head and smiling. This could be very good for his friend or very bad.
