Blah, blah, blah…I only own the characters I created.
Soccer & Seizures-Chapter 3-House is Off the Case
Previously...
Cuddy and House watched them go.
"So, what's up?" he asked her.
"I'm taking you off the case," she answered.
"What? Why?"
"It's Sera. She's sick, too. She was just admitted with the same symptoms."
"But…" he asked, trying to keep his panic from rising.
"When she came in, the paramedics said that she had started convulsing when they were on their way here. You know what that means."
"Yeah. Where is she?"
"Room 216."
He left his office, forgetting that she was still in the room. She watched him go; taking the file that Cameron had left.
This was going to be hard.
"Dr. House! Here are those files-" Foreman started, but was stopped by his boss's determined stride, even though the older man's walking was inhibited by his leg.
"What's up with House?" he asked Dr. Cuddy as she came up to him.
"Dr. House is off this case," she replied before turning around and heading back to his office.
"What? Why?" he asked as he followed her into the conference room.
"What's going on?" Cameron asked as she and Chase walked in behind them.
"She just pulled House off the case," Foreman answered.
"Why?"
"It doesn't matter. What do you have?"
Foreman handed her the files he had earlier attempted to give to House.
"Well, the medicine that they're all taking is a type of anti-epileptic. I've never even heard of it."
"I have. It's experimental. It was developed so that it wouldn't interact with other neurological meds."
"There's another patient. A Sera Smith. She appears to be our anomaly," Chase said.
"What do you mean?"
"She isn't a soccer player-" Cameron started.
"But she takes the same medication that they do," Cuddy finished for her.
"So, it's not the soccer players, it's their brains," Chase concluded.
"It's both," Cuddy told him. "Sera Smith played soccer when she was here."
The three younger doctors looked at her in shock.
"Is that why you took House off the case?" Foreman asked her.
"Yes. That's also why Dr. Wilson and I are keeping our distance from this case as well." Without another word, she handed Chase the files and walked out.
"So we're supposed to solve this on our own."
"It looks that way Chase," Cameron said.
Room 216.
"How's she doing?" Cuddy asked House as she walked into the room.
"BP's down. She's been having absence seizures."
"That's normal, right?"
"Yeah, but they're too long and too frequent."
"I'm sorry."
Is it okay? Please review!
