"Little things you said or did are part of me, come out from time to time
Probably no one I know now would notice. But I never thought so much could change" – Ben Folds, Sentimental Guy
"You kidnapped my patient!"
"Relax, Jimmy." House brushed Wilson off. Wilson was standing by Hannah's empty bed looking furious.
"House, you cant just kidnap kids because you want to use the carpool lane or something." Wilson fumed. Then he noticed Thirteen in the corner.
"Dr. Hadley?" Wilson asked wondering what she was doing there, "What's going on?"
"Relax Jimmy." Hannah said mirroring House. She jumped back on her bed, "See look, all better."
"We have to get you to your chemo." Wilson said to Hannah while staring at House.
"Before you go." House said catching Wilson by the arm, "Here's your change. The runt only wanted McDonald's so I didn't need to spend all of your money."
Wilson pocketed the money House gave back to him and gave him a weird look.
"You took her out for lunch?" Wilson asked.
"Yup," Hannah nodded. Wilson opened his mouth to say something, but a nurse came in with a wheel chair and knocked him out of his thought train.
"She ready?" The nurse asked Wilson. Wilson nodded, and Hannah got into the chair.
"You did something nice for her." Wilson said once the nurse and Hannah were out of the room.
"No, I stole money from you, and your car, and your patient." House countered. Thirteen looked around awkwardly wondering if she should leave.
"No, you did something nice for her. She wanted to leave the hospital and get a piece of real life and you took her out." Wilson smiled, then he frowned, "but why?"
"Um, can I go?" Thirteen asked.
"Yes,"
"No," Wilson said at the same time as House. Thirteen looked around confused.
"Did his parents call and say they were coming for lunch?" Wilson asked Thirteen. She shook her head.
"Cameron was swamped in the ER, and I didn't want to have to be around to pick up the overflow." House lied. Thirteen nodded when Wilson looked at her.
"Then why would you take Thirteen?" Wilson asked raising an eyebrow.
"I had a bet going with Chase that she was anorexic. So I invited her out to lunch and brought a patient to watch." House lied again. Thirteen frowned.
"It's Cameron's day off." Wilson smiled, "Which means you just lied to me twice."
"She was my patient first." House tried, "I wanted her back."
"No, you've been being nice all week." Wilson smiled.
"Have not." House said picking his cane up and knocking everything off of Hannah's bedside table. Wilson bent down to pick it up, and House took the opportunity to grab Thirteen's arm and pull her out of the room.
"God, he's annoying." House said loud enough for Wilson to hear. Thirteen had to laugh. She loved how out of character House acted around her. She almost made him act like a decent person.
"Wilson's probably to get the full story from Hannah." Thirteen reminded House.
"Traitor." He grumbled.
"Did she tell you about my salsa story." Thirteen asked as it occurred to her that Hannah may have been behind them getting together.
"Pshht," House said over exaggeratedly, "she told me nothing about Billy."
Thirteen slapped a hand to her forehead.
"She would." Thirteen grumbled this time, "Traitor"
"I like her more," House thinks out loud, "loyal to no one."
"Remind you of someone?" Thirteen asks.
"Yeah," House responds staring at Thirteen.
"She reminds me on someone too," Thirteen responds.
"You really don't see any of yourself in her?" House asks.
"Do you honestly not see yourself in her?" Thirteen counters.
"A bit," House mumbles with his head down.
"Same" Thirteen says quickly hoping House will miss it. They both look up at each other and grin.
