Chapter 14

It took a little longer than I thought to get back to the office after my run in with Cameron. I still couldn't believe she asked me, although looking at her other options I can see why. I decided to help her and now that I thought about it I couldn't tell why. In the end I decided that I could use a friend and I shut out the part of my brain that said anything different.

I walked into the office to find everyone sitting in the exact same position as yesterday, doing exactly the same as yesterday; Nothing.

"Where's House?" I said, and I hope my tone was casual. Now that I'm playing double agent I couldn't afford to be caught out.

"Don't know" said Kutner

"Don't want to know" replied Foreman

"Don't care" added Taub

Just as I was about to ask another question House came in. He didn't seem that different but there was something out of place about him. No doubt that the not so subtle mutiny he was co-conspiring had something to do with it.

"Okay lovelies. Here are your assignments. Foreman, go away. Kutner, clinic duty. Taub, wash my motorbike, someone seemed to have the bright idea to re-paint it pink but don't worry, I assure you that the culprit will be caught and subjected to experimentation in my lab. Thir…"

"You have a lab?" Kutner interjected.

"I work in a hospital. I have many labs." House looked at him dumbly. Kutner squirmed and half smiled. House rolled his eyes.

"As I was saying. Thirteen, go down to the ER. Follow Cameron and document all the mistakes she makes"

"What makes you think she'll make any?" I asked whilst trying to keep my composure, the others had already left

"Like I've said before, the ER is standing room only which means she's bound to make a mistake, go find it"

"So you can blackmail her?"

"Of course not, that's just plain mean" he roller his eyes and put on his best 'I'm a decent person' face

"Fine"

I walked out, I decided to quietly observe the ER before I went in, I still didn't know what exactly I'd gotten myself into but I thought it best to at least try to understand, I found a quiet place over by the phone and as I looked in I could see Cameron giving out orders and looking very busy while this nurse, who I could only presume to be Jodie, stared at her with a mixture of hate and jealousy, she was also giving out orders albeit to a smaller group but still, it didn't look good for Cameron.

I walked over and decided to help; none of the nurses would think I was taking Cameron's side because to the rest of the hospital she was still in charge, at least we were safe here.

"Hey Cameron, house sent me to spy on you"

She looked up startled for a minute, she may have thought that house would do something like this but she probably didn't expect it would be me and she defiantly wouldn't have thought that I'd be so obvious about it.

"Oh, that's nice" she looked upset

I smirked "yeah, but I thought my time would be better spent helping you with this car crash so give me a file"

She smiled "even nicer"

After about 2 hours of treating accident victims I noticed that Jodie did everything she could think of to sabotage Cameron, everything from mixing up charts to tripping her, luckily I was there to fix it, I got to the mixed up charts and put them back in the right place and caught her when she fell, that Jodie is defiantly ambers equal.

That's when it hit me, there was one more person who I could go to that could give me advice about this, amber.

Of course this was Cameron's problem and so I would only go to amber if she gave me the ok, I decided to wait until Jodie went to lunch, then I pulled Cameron into her office, using a file as an excuse.

"Wow, Jodie really doesn't like you"

She gave a timid smile "so you're starting to see my problem"

"Yeah and I think I know someone that could give us ideas, amber"

Now she looked confused, "amber? You mean the one house calls cut throat bitch?"

"Yeah, her name says it all"

"Ok, but only if you think she won't betray us"

"She won't, Wilson might but I think I can take care of him, he's all about teaching house lessons"

Cameron chuckled "yeah your right, ok I'll take care of things here you go visit amber"

"Yes sir!"

Cameron laughed and walked away while I was left to ponder what exactly on earth made me do that, I couldn't find an answer so I decided to get a move on, I went back to the office which thankfully house was not in, grabbed my coat, told them I was going to lunch, and made my way to Wilsons office to steal his girlfriends address, once I had that I went out the doors to my car, got in and drove away, hoping that for once things turn out like I thought they would because now it's not only me that will take the fall if things go badly. I couldn't risk that.
