Chapter 9

"Does anyone have a phone that works?" Wilson asked calmly

"Here" Leslie handed over her phone

It was a Nokia N95 8GB. It was an old phone with a poor battery life but it was a sturdy phone and notoriously good for obtaining a decent signal. It only had 3 out of the 5 bars but it worked.

He dialled 911.

"Hello. This is Dr Wilson I'm at McGill Medical School in building J room 4. We have seen at least one person with a gun patrolling the corridor...about 6"2, caucasian, possibly male, he's wearing a black hoody so we can't see his face...Can we identify the gun?" Wilson glanced at House when it came to that question

"Colt 45 M1911 Automatic" House murmured

"Colt 45 M1911 Automatic...about forty students, 1 teacher and my colleague and I...Everyone in this room is safe but I don't know about the others...we've barricaded ourselves in...We're looking into possible exits at the moment...I don't know we've heard about 10 gunshots for certain and a lot of screaming so I think there must be at least several...Ok...Thank you"
