Park left the therapist's office and sighed in relief when she thought of the fact that she had only one session left before she could be cleared to go back to work. The last few weeks since she been released from the hospital had been a whirlwind. Two weeks spent in the hospital waiting for her bruised lung to heal were some of the most boring days of her life. She thought things might be better when she got to go home, but that thought was quickly killed when her mother, two aunts and three cousins decided that she needed round-the-clock care despite the fact she was a doctor that lived with a fellow doctor. Chase had enjoyed it, having freshly cooked, homemade meals waiting for him and an endless supply of snacks in the fridge. He was kind of sad when Park had finally had enough asked asked them all to leave and not to come back until she said it was okay. Some peace finally returned to her home.

She had to go to Princeton-Plainsboro to talk to Foreman to make sure everything was okay for her coming back. She was desperately eager to get back to work. Sitting around the apartment just allowed her thoughts to dwell on what had happened and she couldn't take that anymore. She still saw Kyle Whitehall's face sometimes..most of the time. Her therapist said that would disappear over time, that it was still a fresh wound. Give it time.

She pulled her car into the parking lot of the hospital and, looking at her watch, realized she was twenty minutes early. Well, better early than late. She got out of her car and locked it, although why anyone would want to steal her car or anything in it, but better safe than sorry she told herself. She looked around as she headed into the building and it dawned on her that she hadn't been back since she was discharged. She was jealous of Chase being able to come in everyday, she hadn't really thought about that until she looked up at the building. She was a bit nervous about walking through those doors, walking past the clinic where she first encountered him.

"Park, you're early." Foreman's voice cut into her thoughts.

"Oh, umm, yeah." she nodded and looked at her watch again. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." he said as he guided her towards his office. "We have to talk." he sounded serious.

"About when I can come back?" she asked, not liking the tone of his voice.

"Please come into my office." he said without any real reply.

Park followed him and saw a man in an expensive suit reading over some papers. She suddenly felt very anxious.

"Dr. Park, this is Mark Reynolds." he made the introductions and then indicated a chair for Park to sit in.

"What's going on?" she asked as she sat down and set her purse on the floor next to her. "He needs to be here to discuss when I can come back to work?"

"I don't want to have to do this." Foreman groaned.

"Do what?" Park asked, looking back and forth between the two men.

"Dr. Park, I'm afraid that you are going to be placed on suspension until further notice." Foreman answered as quickly as he could.

"What?" she jumped to her feet. "I've done everything you've told me to in order to come back to work. What happened?"

"Kyle Whitehall's family has filed a civil suit against you and the hospital for wrongful death." the man named Reynolds explained in a calm tone.

"What?" she sank back into her chair.

"They're upset over the fact that no criminal charges were brought against you." Reynolds went on. "And they feel that the hospital staff did not do enough to save him, that they were more focused on your care."

"I'm sure the quick money has nothing to do with it." Park observed. "Lose a kid, but that' s okay, the money will make up for it!"

"Dr. Park." Foreman said, wanting to calm her down. "I know that this is tough.."

"Do you?" she asked. "Are you being suspended and sued for trying to keep yourself from being killed by some freak who stalked you?" she got to her feet. "This is crap and you know it."

"You killed their son, even if it was in self-defense." Reynolds put in as though he was telling them something they didn't know. "And you used a stun gun you should never have been in possession of."

"I know that." Park snapped. "I'm on probation for a year for that. I have the same probation officer as House for crying out loud!" she turned to Reynolds, "And I never met to kill him!"

"Park..." Foreman got to his feet.

"How long will it take for this suit to be over with?" Park asked, brushing off Foreman's hands as he tried to get her to sit down again.

"It's hard to say." Reynolds replied. "It could be up to a month, depending on court scheduling."

"Just tell me where I need to be and when." Park grabbed her purse and left.

All that she had been through, doing what she was told was needed to do in able to return to work. It was all for nothing. She just had it all taken away from her.

"Hey, Park." Adams said as House and his team approached her. "How did it go with Foreman?"

"Yes, do tell us when we can expect you to join our big, happy family again." House added mockingly.

"Not for a long time." Park said, trying to keep her emotions in check.

"What happened?" Chase asked.

"I'm being sued." Park answered. "His family is suing me."

"What?" Adams gasped.

"I'm not saying it again." Park turned and left.
