I will try to write another chapter this afternoon. I will not write again until Friday because I will away from a computer, but I will make sure I post something when I get back.
I'm Going To Fight Him Off
"Are you on House's team?" Brandon asked Cameron. Cameron didn't answer him and just looked at a far wall away from him. "Are you deaf?" Brandon asked as he grabbed Cameron's wrist. Cameron looked at him with surprise when she felt the tug on her arm.
"Let go of her," House said to Brandon. Brandon turned and looked House in the eye.
"I don't think that you get to make the decisions around her Dr. House, so you better be quiet."
Brandon leaned forward and ran his hand over Cameron's hair. "Leave me alone," Cameron said to him trying to get her hand free from him.
House shoved Brandon with her left arm to try to get him to back up. Brandon turned around and punched House on the left side of his jaw.
"Do not touch me!" Brandon said to House. Brandon turned around and looked at Cameron again.
"How would you like to go upstairs where it is a lot warmer?" Brandon asked her.
"I think I will pass," Cameron said. Brandon started rubbing his hand up Cameron's right leg. Cameron started kicking to get him away from her.
"You like it rough, huh?" Brandon asked her. House kicked Brandon in the knee. Brandon grabbed his knee and feel back on the floor.
"Son of a bitch!" Brandon screamed. After he rubbed his leg for awhile, he stood and moved toward House. Brandon stepped on House's bad leg causing House to scream in pain.
House leaned over putting his head on Cameron's shoulder as he tried to not pass out.
"Leave them alone," Jack said as he walked up behind Brandon. Brandon turned and looked at him.
"You plan on killing House when we get the money anyway, so why do you care what I do to them?" Brandon asked. Cameron felt her heart drop when she heard they planned on killing House. She had hoped that House had not been right about that.
"We need to keep him alive for now," Jack said.
"I didn't plan on killing her," Brandon said. "I thought we might just have a little fun," he said as he turned and looked at Cameron.
"Do not touch her," Jack said. "She has nothing to do with this."
Brandon turned around and gave Cameron a wink. He would just wait until later.
Cameron watched as Brandon went to the other side of the room with Jack.
"House?" Cameron asked him as he continued to lie on her shoulder.
She could hear him breathing deeply. She moved her head so she could see his face.
She saw that his eyes were open, but they were filled with tears because of the pain. "We'll get out of here," she said to him gently.

Cuddy was sitting in her office when her phone rang. When one of the security guards said they needed her to see something, she knew her gut hand been right and something bad had happened. She told them she would be right there and she sprinted out of her office.
"What did you guys find?" Cuddy asked as she made it into the security office. "Take a seat," the guard said as he got the tape ready.
"We went through the tapes since this morning and we found this," the guard said.
Cuddy watched as she saw on the screen where she was talking to House about the case file earlier that day. She continued watching as she saw House meet up with Cameron and him hand her the file.
Her hand shot up over her mouth when she saw House and Cameron freeze and the gunman standing in front of them.
She watched as he took them into an exam room.
The guard then fast-forwarded a little and showed House and Cameron leaving the room holding each other's hand and the man following them.
The tape showed them walking out towards the parking garage. Cuddy's tears started to flow when she saw the gunman force House and Cameron into his trunk.
Cuddy stayed staring at the screen after the guard turned it off.
"Dr. Cuddy?" The guard asked trying to catch her attention.
"Why would this guy want them?" Cuddy asked more to herself than to the guard.
"Dr. Cuddy, this is the same guy from a couple of years ago," the guard said as he pulled out a picture of House's shooter. Cuddy could fell her stomach turning when she looked at the picture. She stood up and ran towards the nearest bathroom. When she left the bathroom, the security guard was standing outside the door.
"Are you okay?" He asked her.
"I need you to collect all the footage you can of the shooter and get it ready for the police," Cuddy said trying to get her administrator voice back.
"Can do," the guard said. "I will also close off that part of the parking garage that his car was at so they can collect evidence from the area." Cuddy nodded her head in agreement.
"I will go call the police. Bring everything you have up to my office," Cuddy said as she walked away. Cuddy knew she had to stay strong even though she wanted to curl up into a ball and cry in a corner.

Cameron noticed that Brandon was staring at her. Even though she would not look directly at him, she could feel his eyes burning into her.
"Don't even think about it," Jack said as he noticed Brandon staring at Cameron again.
"I am helping you do this so that you can get what you want, so I should get what I want."
"You get half of the money," Jack said. "You can buy all the hookers you want with that money."
"I want her," Brandon said pointing at Cameron.
"I said no," Jack said.
The tension was starting to rise between the two men.
"I am going to put the spare car in the location we agreed upon," Brandon said as he walked upstairs. Cameron jumped when she heard him slam the door.
Cameron watched Jack as he walked over to her. "You will be fine Dr. Cameron. I promise I will not let him touch you." Cameron looked at him with a bewildered look on her face.
"Please don't hurt House," Cameron said.
"Now that I will not promise you," Jack said.
House raised his head from Cameron's shoulder. The pain was subsiding in his leg. House looked over at Cameron and saw the worry in her eyes. "Hang in there Cameron," House whispered to her. Cameron nodded because she knew she would have to stay strong so that she could help get House out.
