Chapter 10

"We got her back but her liver and kidneys are failing," said Cameron as gestured her hands to show her frustration.

"The force is strong with this one but, not strong enough," said House as he sat down on a chair and rested his cane on his lap.

"We don't find what's doing this to her, she'll be dead within a few days," yelled Foreman.

"What about Wilson's?" questioned Chase.

"It wouldn't act this quickly," said House as he got up from the chair and walked out of the room.

"Where the hell are you going?"

Cameron asked as she and the men followed House down the hall.

"Just for a walk."

"Wilson's can still explain everything," said Chase.

"I can't be Wilson's. I couldn't be that simple."

"No, House. You think it wouldn't be that simple," said Foreman stopping House.

"She isn't a puzzle, House. She's dying! You knew it wasn't lupus but now you don't think its Wilson's! You just don't want to admit that this case has you stumped. I'm checking for Wilson's."

Foremen started to walk away when…

"What if it is something that mimics Wilson's and lupus?"

House stated and Foreman stopped in his track. He turned as House walked to him and stopped in front of Integra's room.

"A neighborhood gathers around a building where they all hear a strange whimpering sound coming from inside the wall. With everyone thinking it's a small kitten or puppy, so they start breaking down the wall until there's a big hole. Then finally when one of rednecks reaches in and pulls out nothing more than a rat. Whatever this is, sounds like kitten, in this case lupus, or a puppy, Wilson's but it is really a rat…"

"Heavy metal poisoning," said Cameron intruding House.

"You got that from that," House questioned.

"Heavy metal poisoning is usual confused for lupus and Wilson's," said Cameron.

"Yeah, there's only one problem. The pervious doctors tested for heavy metal. All the tests came back negative," said Chase as he looked over his notes.

"It has to be something that they missed," said House.

"Lead, copper, iron, mercury…"

Chase ran down the list of metal as Cameron looked into Integra's room. She saw that blinds were closed not letting any sunlight come in. Alucard was sitting in his chair with his head lowered and body still. She walked pass the team and Walter whom was sitting in a chair in front of the bed.

"Excuse me but is he okay?"

"Yes, doctor. He is just sleeping."

Cameron nodded her head and walked out the room.

"Maybe we were wrong about the environmental theory. It could be affecting Alucard."

House turned about and saw Alucard.

"Nope! He's just taking the Dracula Cosplay a little too far. I'm guessing if you splash some holy water and waved a silver cross…"

House stopped and his eyes widened as he came to a realization. He walked into Integra's room and opened a drawer. He pulled out a syringe and walked to Integra. He drew blood from her arm and left the room and his team behind without saying a word.
