Since the decision had been made that Junior and Senior would stay together on their merry, little trips, House decided it was safe to ask some real questions. "You really would have left an impressionable kid with a narcissistic, narcotic addict like me?"
Senior smiled slightly and House was worried. "You didn't. There's no way…" House grabbed his nearest Vicodin prescription bottle and checked the contents. They sure looked like they were the real deal.
Junior pulled out a multi-pill mold machine from his pack and set it on the desk. House could tell from here that it would make little white pills that resembled Vicodin. "The hardest part was finding all your hidden stashes. It was fun; as was the formulating, and the mixing and molding part. We had to take you down in increments that you wouldn't notice. We supplemented your food intake so that you wouldn't notice your body detox-ing."
House remembered the 'Bad Sushi Night.' He remembered the tea that had been forced on him by a nephew's emotional blackmail. He wondered if they had predicted the amount of alcohol he had added to each glass. Who had been playing who all along?
This was family.
