They carried on eating, talking and having fun at the table, until their laughter was broken by an announcement on the tannoy: 'Gregory House to the Principal's Office.'
'Awww man,' said House, standing up. 'What did I do now?'
'You better go man,' said Kevin. 'The principal's not exactly known for his patience.'
'You're telling me,' remarked House. 'I've kind of missed our chats, we haven't had any for a while.'
'You make it sound like you enjoy going there,' remarked Lisa.
'I go there so often, it seems like a second home,' replied House, giving Lisa a quick kiss on the cheek and leaving the room.
Standing outside the principal's office, House knocked loudly, and was told to come in by Mr Harvey.
'Well hello sir,' remarked House. 'It has been many moons since my last visit here.'
'Indeed Mr House,' replied Mr Harvey.
'So what have I done now?' asked House cheekily.
'Nothing, for a change,' he replied. 'The Police are here to talk to you about your parents.'
His tone becoming more serious, House said, 'Right. What do they need to know that I haven't already told them?'
'I'll leave that to the officer to ask,' he replied.
'Mr House,' said the same officer who had came to talk to him before. 'Our officers found your parents in Florida, they've been arrested. Your mother for fleeing the scene and your father for attempted murder.'
'Attempted murder?' asked House.
'Mr House, he put you in hospital where you nearly died and left you for dead, that's attempted murder in my eyes,' replied the officer.
'So, I guess that they'll be putting him in prison for a long time,' said House.
'Yes,' replied the officer. 'Preliminary hearing is next week. Your Mom will probably get a fine and some community service, if she's unlucky, it might be a short jail sentence.'
'You can't let her go to jail!' exclaimed House. 'Please, she won't survive there. Can I testify at trial against him but for her?'
'That can be arranged Mr House,' replied the officer. 'The jury might go easy on her if you do that.'
'Then that's what I'll do,' stated House. 'Can I go now? I never got to finish my lunch.'
'Yes Mr House,' replied Mr Harvey. 'You may leave.'
'Thank you,' replied House, getting up and leaving the room, returning to the cafeteria, where everyone were waiting for him.
'What happened?' asked Lisa, seeing the hurt in his eyes and hugging him close.
'They've arrested my parents,' said House quietly. 'Preliminary hearing's next week. They might put my Mom in jail. I mean, my dad, I couldn't care less, but my Mom, she doesn't deserve that. She won't be able to live through jail. It will either make her sick, make her go insane, or kill her. I can't live with that Lise, I can't live with it. I'm going to testify against him, but for her. Maybe they'll go easy on her.'
'I hope so,' she said, kissing his cheek. I'll be with you every step of the way.'
'I love you,' he said, looking deeply into her eyes.
'I love you too,' she replied, finding herself lost in his dreamy blue orbs.
