Thanks to Bulletgirl1723, lily moonlight, and Aly for reviewing! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter!

Chapter Twenty Nine: Unable To Help Her

A Week Passes by...

St. Peter's Hospital, Helena, Montana

Dr. Gregory House's Office

Data appeared upon the screen, showing House and Dr. Brennan a world view of how the weather was claiming the Northern Hemisphere. The weather hadn't cleared up; snows had turned to ice, temperatures were well past their freezing points, making it impossible to send any help to any of the cities and countries around the world. And it was still getting worse, and his worries for Cuddy grew more as the day proceeded on. He had wanted to send help to Chicago to rescue her right away, but he didn't have the power to, and if they had rescued her, they would have had to rescue everyone from Chicago. He turned to look at Brennan. "We should have evacuated immediately."

Brennan nodded. "I'm sorry about Lisa, she must mean a lot to you."

"She does," replied House. "I love her."

He glanced out the window, seeing that the snows were now claiming the state of Montana too. He shivered from thinking of the cold temperatures. "We have to stop this," he announced, "before the storm claims Montana too. We'll lose all of the data we have, and we won't be able to track the storm anymore once it hits, since we'll lose the power."

Brennan nodded. "But House, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save Lisa, even though I know you would do anything to save her. And the weather, we can't change how it's going to affect us."

"Break the rules," said House. "There just aren't any rules to break here."

"So," said Brennan, turning to look at the computer screen, "we wait?"

House sighed. "We wait." He looked at the data on the screen, wishing that the results showed that the freezing weather would stop. But he would have to wait out the storm, just like everyone else, since there was nothing he could do to stop the weather.

Chapter 30- How is everyone dealing with the storm in Chicago? They're still waiting for help to arrive. Wilson and Kutner also finally figure out where the rest of their team is sheltering in the library…

A/N: Very short chapter, I know. But please review! I promise the next chapter will be much longer. It should be up either tomorrow or Saturday. After Thanksgiving shopping day is tomorrow, so I may not post tomorrow. But I'll post if I have time too! Also, I may be posting a Thirteen/Kutner (House MD) story soon, so if you want to, you can read it if you're a fan of the pairing.

Happy Thanksgiving!
