Chapter 13

Now this is Ironic

Gregory House honestly had no idea what to do. Sure they had finally made it to Gayle, but now he had absolutely no idea as to were to go from there.

House turned off to the right at the crossing and pulled up on the other side of the road from the hardware store infront of what looked like a car wash.

There was a sudden silence eveloping the mini-van as House pulled it to a stop. House turned to face them and realised that five pairs of eyes were on him.

'God, why does this always have to happen to me?' House asked the God he didn't believe in silently.

"House?" Cameron asked after several seconds of silence.

"I...he..the," House stammered, "albino didn't say were to go when we got here."

"What?" came multiple voices at the same time.

House saw disbelief in Cameron's eyes and could look at her no longer. He turned around and looked unblinkingly through the wind screen. He could hear Cuddy discussing with the others what to do but he heard nothing.

House could see a lone figure walking towards were they were parked. He watched the person walk closer holding his or her head down watching his or her feet. As the figure got closer House could see that it was a girl with lots of curly hair hanging wildly around her face and she wasn't very tall.

The girl was rigth at the front of the mini-van and, as it was a right-hand drive vehicle, House winded down the window to talk to he as she walked by.

The girl reached the window and House was about to address her when her cell phone rang. All eyes were on her now as the lyrics of SexyBack came piping through the open car window. She quickly glanced down to the phone, rejected the call and looked up.

House recognised the girl and she evidently recognised him too as her face began to go red.

"Well well, looky looky!" House said reaching out and pulling a lock of the girls hair.

"Do that again cripple and let us see how would cope with one leg and one arm." she said narrowing her eyes and leering up at him.

"Ouch! Icy," House said clearly amused.

Cuddy could not believe House at thye moment. They were lost in a strange country and he was cheerfully pissing off the only human being they had seen in a while, a very long while.

"Wow!" the girl said looking over at Cuddy for the first time, "I bow down to the master. Two chicks in two days."

Now Cuddy was just plain confused. 'Why was House acting as if he knew this kid?' she asked herself.

Everyone, especially Chase was straining their necks trying to see who was at the window.

"You know me midget," House said grinning sheepishly back at her, "I just love the ladies."

"Hey, show some respect," the girl said smirking, "remeber I saved you and your girl from getting ripped off."

Wilson, Cuddy, Chase and Foreman was so intent on staring disbelieving at House that they completely missed Cameron's blush.

House chuckled and thugged on a lock of her hair once more.

"Now that is uncalled for," the girl said moving away from the vehicle, "by the way were is she?"

House pointed over his shoulder and the girl walked to the back passenger window to look in.

"Hi!" she said brightly when she spotted Cameron nestled inbetween Foreman and Wilson.

Cameron did a small wave, "Hi Sid," she said.

Sid looked over Cameron's shoulder to see Chase peering over, "and hello to you!" she said and gave him a wink.

Chase gave her his best heart-trob grin, "Hey" he said, sleep still evident in his voice.

Sid walked back to the drivers window to look at House, "Hey what's up here, is this your swingers club?" she asked.

House feigned laugther, "Would you look at this," he said tilting his head to the side as if in disbelief, "little kids have jokes in this country."

"Ha you know," Sid said as she gave a shrug, "we try to make our young ones as well rounded as possible here."

Wilson couldn't stop himself from laughting at her sarcasm, he could also hear a small chuckle coming from the third row.

"By the way, just so that you know," Sid said jumping unto the side of the mini-van to come face-to-face with House, "I am not that short and I am definately not that young."

She hopped off the side of the mini-van and shifted her attention to the other side of the road.

Cuddy, who was watching the exchange between House and the girl, saw her lost of attention and immediately worried that she would leave before they got any directions from her.

Cuddy made to address the girl but her cell phone started ringing again. Sid flipped the phone open and answered before Justin Timerlake could get far into the song.

"I really should think about changing my ring tone," she said into the phone, "I seriously can't have bitches ringing me up and a song like that plays."

There was a pause as she listened to the person on the phone say.

"Oh please bitch, of course I'm talking about you," she replied to what ever was said, "what do you want? I am on my way ya nah."

There was another pause.

"Okay," she said, her mood a little down, and she closed the phone.

No one in the vehicle had a clue at what just happened. House was about to question her when she cut him off.

"So?" she asked, "where you folks headed?"

Cuddy was relieved that she actually thought of asking them that.

"White River Valley," Cuddy said, "can you tell us how to get there?"

Sid bursted out in a fit of laughter.

"White...River...Valley?" she asked between laughs.

Cuddy nodded and Sid immediately started laughing full force again. She was bent over, holding her stomach and tears were in her eyes before she could say anything again.

"How...how did you get here?" she asked out of breath.

Wilson pointed out of the back window, down the road they had just come from. Sid broke out in another fit of laughter.

When she finally calmed down she looked at House, the look on his face immediately caused her to break down again.

"You drove through there?" she asked, looking at the all the faces in the mini-van.

Wilson, Cameron, Chase and Cuddy all nodded.

"I have to..." Sid said trailing off with her laughter and dialling on her cell phone.

"Sanya," she said still gigling, "some tourist, dem drive through battam road fi go...fi go White RivahValley," she said breaking brown again.

House didn't like that the joke was partially on him.

"Yes," she continued still laughing, "yuh membah dem two wi did see pan de bus?"

She continued talking on her phone for a good two minutes. Noone in the mini-van knew exactly what she was telling her friend. Finally she hanged up.

"ahuum, did you guys like know that you could drive through White River to get to White River Valley?" she asked with mirth in her voice.

Wilson immediately looked away. House made to incriminate Wilson, but was cut off by Sid.

"Doesn't make any sense now," she said looking off thoughtfully.

Cuddy couldn't believe what she was hearing, "What...what do you mean?" she stammered.

"Well...," Sid said looking over at Cuddy, "It is an advertised fact that White River Valley's last tour off the day is always given at two o'clock in the afternoon and since that was over two hours ago, I would have to say, that that makes it pointless."

"What!" exclaimed Wilson, Cameron, Foreman and Chase from the back.

"I know!" Sid exclaimed, and then started giggling.

House sighed, he couldn't believe that he had wasted so much time. Sure, he was all for wasting time. After all he was the biggest time waster he knew, but hiding from Cuddy and playing video games was one thing. He was in Jamaica for God's sake, he could have spent the day bikini watching instead of driving through potholes the size of swimming pools and driving down stairs.

"Could you at least tell us how to get back to Ocho Rios?" House asked.

"Sure," Sid said grinning, "better yet I could show you how to get there. I'm heading that way and even though I have been told not to get into cars with strangers, the way I figured is that my body will turn up sooner or later.

House looked over at Cuddy who nodded.

"Get in," he told Sid.

"Cool, but I have one condition," she said, "you have to take my bestest friend too."

"Yes sure," Cuddy said relieved that they where getting help.

"Sweet, you can pick her up on the way there," Sid said as she moved to get into the vehicle.

Wilson climbed out of the mini-van to let Sid climb over to the third row with Chase.

She sat beside Chase and smile up at him, "I get to sit beside the cute one, good for me," she said.

House drove off, as instructed, in the direction he had faced the mini-van.

Sid made a call and talked briskily for a few several seconds.

They drove pass a primary school and they were soon driving on a twisting road. They looked out of the windows and could see a valley with a small river running through, it was the picture of serenity. The road they drove on was bad but compared to the they had previously driven on it was heavenly smooth.

Sid directed House up a road when they got to a town called Labyrinth. I girl walked out of a house to meet them, House recognised her as Sid's Wilson. The very thought of that made House chuckle.

The second girl, Sanya, climbed into the third row with Sid and Chase.

Everyone was introduced and the girls inquired why they referred to each other by their surnames. They explained that it was because they were co-workers. Sid thought that it would be fun to do call everyone by their last name.

"Stewart," she said refering to Sanya and using her best business like tone, "where is Higgins, Newby and Daley going to meet us in Ocho Rios?"

"At Island Village Johnson," Sanya said playing along.

They had a good giggle then decided it wasn't all that much fun.

They drove on for a while, passing through an area where the trees meet each other over the road making the place seem dark and gloomy.

Sanya and Sid, who found themself doing nothing since there job as navigator was effortless, began staring at Chase. Chase was getting uncomfortable able especially since everytime he looked at them they started giggling.

Soon they finally came out into a clearing.

"Stop for a minute," Sid said.

House pulled over and they all turned to look over at the third row.

"See that road?" Sid asked pointing in the desired direction.

There was a really bad road leading off up a hill and it was so bad that House thought he would have completely over looked it if it wasn't pointed out to him.

They all nodded or mumbled yes.

"That leads up to White River Valley," Sanya finished for Sid, "all the tours leave from there."

Sid nodded in agreement, "You guys should really try to make it there," she said smiling, "it's fun."

They drove off and in total silence now.

"Oh," Sid said after a while, "go with the tour that leaves from your hotel and maybe, just maybe you'll actually get there."

Finally after being directed to make a deep left turn, cross a bridge, pass a power plant, go right at a crossing and make other various small turns they came to a crossing and realised that they were back on the main road and actually knew where to go from there.

As they waited to turn on the main road, "Who was in charge of reading the map?" Sid asked.

"Wilson," House answered quickly.

"Well Wilson," she addressed a blushing James Wilson, "this is White River and don't worry about it, it's not like everyone knows that our roads don't match the road map."

Wilson simply got redder in the face.

They dropped the girls off in the centre of the of the town and soon they were back at there hotel.

"Anymore bright ideas cuddle bear?" House asked as they walked into the hotel.

"Yeah," Cuddy said, "take a pain killer and have a bath, your voice alone is giving me a migraine."

"Ouch," House said feigning hurt, "it hurts right here," he said rubbing the left side of his chest.

They made their way to the elevator and House suddenly didn't like the thought of being stuck in a tiny box with all the tention between himself and Cameron, and between Cuddy and Wilson.

House limped off towards the hotel restaurant unknowingly being watched by Cameron.
