Author's note: This chapter is quite short. Thanks for reviews, I am really happy to know that you are enjoying this story so keep them coming :). Well done Deichtine for spotting my mistake. Knowing that someone pays attention to details when reading my story will keep me on my tip toes.
House was still angry with Foreman. He expected him to go behind his back to see Kate sooner or later as his behaviour was getting more and more erratic but it still made him angry. He didn't need them to check up on him or mother him. It was quite late so he was not sure if cate were still in her office. Receptionist was not there any more so he went streight to Kate's room.
„Can I come in?"
„Sure. You picked up a good time actually. Help me with this one" – Kate handed House a piece of paper.
"What's that?"
"I don't know. Someone left a letter for me. Probably one of my students. What does it say?"
"It's from Tom Widelman. He asks if you could reconsider his semester evaluation."
"I think that I may send him a replay in Braille, just to make him look for someone to read it out. What can I do for you? "
"Foreman came to visit you today. I would like to know what you told him."
"Why do I feel like I should call my lawyer before answering this question? I haven't told him anything that he could not find himself. One way or another. Is he going to check on me on regular basis by the way?"
"Are you annoyed? That would be something new."
"I am not annoyed. It is normal for kids to get worried when important authority figure in their lives is experiencing problems. I am used to dealing with concerned relatives, although they rarely try to prove to me that they know more psychiatry then I do."
"I have a feeling that you have showed him his place."- House said ironically.
"I had no intention to do so."
"Yea, right. Did Cameron pay a visit as well?"
"She did, but we haven't spoken about you really so that is not of your business."
"Now you are making it interesting. Did she come here to cry about how badly I treat her or about that girl with cancer she recently made friends with?"
"Neither and both. If you want to know you should ask her."
"Fine."
House stood up and left shutting the door on his way out so loudly that it made Kate jump.
Great. He is getting really irritable now. I am not doing very well in here.
