Chapter 4: Desperation
After some miles Wilson made Cuddy understand, that they would like to take a break and eat a snack.
They found a nice little restaurant and decided to taste there some sandwiches.
When they entered they were shocked. It seemed that half of the population of the USA was hungry. The queue was at least ten metres long.
"I'll go and watch the beauty products, bring me a cheese sandwich" said Cameron and disappeared in the host.
Chase decided to follow her and Foreman waited outside the entrance together with Cuddy, who didn't like at all being crimped in such a small room.
Wilson and House started to wait in the queue.
"Man, that will take us hours to arrive at the shop counter" yammered House.
"Don't be so impatient, I'm sure it will move fast" meant Wilson.
After 15 minutes they didn't move a step.
"Who said that we would soon arrive at the sandwiches?" House looked to Wilson.
"You've never been on holiday it seems, you have no idea how long I wait sometimes" said Wilson.
"It's time to bring some action in this shop" House started looking after some victims.
He spotted a tall man, who was terribly sweating.
"Hey, the guy over there with the green shorts, you're sweating" started House.
The man looked back.
"I'm sure you'll have an attack if you don't leave this room, your circulation will break down, that counts for everyone, who feels hot" added House.
Many people tried now to find a way to the exit and finally House and Wilson could walk some steps.
"That was great, you simulated a host panic, very clever, what comes next" meant Wilson.
"Hold on" House took his cane and hit the woman in front of him she turned back and looked angry.
"Sorry, did I hit you oh I'm so stupid you have to forgive me I walk on a cane, I'm a poor cripple" he said in a voice, which sounded very sorry.
The woman seemed to have understanding and wanted that the two men overtake her and the family.
"Thank you, very nice of you, have a nice journey" said House and even shook the woman's hand.
Wilson smiled at him. "You and your cool tricks" he laughed.
"That's not a trick, I just wanted some mercy" said House.
But the queue still wasn't short enough, so House had to make once more a diagnosis or better a suggestion.
"Hey you" he called a guy. "You seem very ill, I'm sure if you will now buy a sandwich and eat it then you'll get an allergic reaction. You won't be able to breath, you'll become a bad rash and what other could happen and that just because of some ham, do you really want that?"
The boy ran crying away and now it was their turn to buy some food.
"Four cheese sandwiches, a salami ciabatta and for me the pizza bread" he ordered.
"We're sorry pizza bread is sold out" answered the man.
House couldn't believe and Wilson had to take his cane away because otherwise he would have landed on the man' face.
"Can't you take something else instead of making now a big fuss?" he tried to calm House down.
"Alright, I'll take the salad and a ham sandwich but I won't pay a cent for that" he said to the man.
"You really think I will let you go without paying" answered the man.
"Stop, I'll pay" proposed Wilson.
"No, listen, you with this purple white striped cap, I've got a nice jab in my pocket, filled up with ketamin against depression, you wanna know what happens if I'll inject you that now" said House.
The man ran as fast as he could to the bar, searched took the sandwiches and gave them to Wilson.
"Thank you" said House and together they walked outside to Foreman and Cuddy.
