Chapter 10

I woke up to a moving blur of pictures and bright light. I closed my eyes and tried to get my brain to function. I remembered being in a closet and talking to thirteen. I remembered her holding me. I remembered her waking me up and then…nothing. I sighed and opened my eyes again. I was in my car and we were moving at a very fast speed. The sun hurt my eyes and the world was going so fast that I couldn't clearly make anything out.

"What happened?" My mind is in a mess.

"We went to the wrong place, got stuck in a closet, got out of the closet and are now heading back to puzzle headquarters."

"Where?" I sat up, my head started pounding.

"To House"

"My head hurts" I looked over at her, she was smirking. I then looked at the speedometer. We were going at 90.

"I'm not surprised. You fell into a wall then hit your head on the car roof. It was quite funny actually"

I scowled "That doesn't sound funny"

"Yeah but it was" Great, now she's laughing at me.

"You were pretty out of it. Keep mumbling at purple elephants and monkeys or something"

"I… what?" Now I'm so confused.

"Yep, put it on YouTube an hour ago"

"You what!? Why!? Are you punishing me? Did I ask too many questions or something? Would you stop laughing at me, what's so funny?"

"You"

I glared at her, then out the window for the next twenty minutes until we finally arrived back at the hospital. We got out of the car and walked into the clinic, then into the elevator and to House's office in silence. I kept looking at her to see if my plan had any effect at all but I couldn't tell. She was always so well guarded I don't think I'll ever be able to tell. I guess I'll just have to wait.

"Well look here, our prodigal daughters have returned, and so early too" House said as he smirked. Thirteen just rolled her eyes and sat down "Get a little lost did we?"

"Yeah we went to the wrong place and got stuck in a closet" I replied whilst moving back to his desk in the other room. I still had some files to sort out.

"Really? Do tell" House said with mock curiosity.

"Well we… Hey who touched these files!?" I turned around to glare at them all.

This time it was Taub who spoke "Cuddy came by"

"She did?" Okay, now I was getting nervous. If Cuddy had told them that she didn't send me down here I was done for. I tried to get her to change her mind but unfortunately some bus driver decided today would be a good day to crash into a flatbed so I was supposed to help in the ER but since my plan was already in motion and it was too late to stop it, I came here instead.

"Yes, she wanted to get you back in the ER when it became to crowded"

Thirteen slightly frowned at this comment but like with every emotion she shows it goes to quick to be sure it was there to begin with.

"She also finished the rest of your paperwork so you could go straight down when you came back" Kutner added.

"Oh, well I'd better go then"

I had started walking to the door when House said "And thank you for riding with the puzzle express. I hope you enjoyed your trip and please do come back at any time"

I rolled my eyes and kept walking "Goodbye House"

I certainly wouldn't miss him anytime soon. Now I have to talk to Cuddy. If she said anything to House or the rest of the team that I didn't want them to know, this could end bad; but I have to go to the ER first. It's not fair the patients should suffer any longer for my private life. As I was at the ER doors I thought about the questions I'd asked Thirteen and then I remembered that I forgot to ask the most important one.

What is your name?


A/N

Hi again,

I want to say thank you to everyone that reviewed and to bigblusky i want to say that i know that you didn't want Cameron to be caught so just because Thirteen thinks that Cameron planned this, it doesn't mean she's sure so if Cameron acts as well as she plans maybe there is a way out of this assumption :)
