Gray remembered a lesson he'd learned when he was a kid. Never tell a lie that could be easily checked unless no other choice was given. "No, I was just checking where his office is for my father." He said which if it was twisted around could be slightly true.
"It's on the fourth floor. I'm heading that way now if you want me to show you." She offered more out of curiosity than anything else.
"That'd be great." He replied following her into the elevator.
"Is your father sick?" She asked.
"I don't know." He admitted the truth.
"Well I'm Dr. Cameron if you need anymore help." She offered.
"Thanks, I'm Grayson." He told her.
She pointed out House's office where from down the hall a bit only a cane could be seen tapping against the end of a desk.
"You want to come along? Maybe he has a minute." She offered again to the boy feeling bad for him he seemed to have a lot weighing on him.
"No that's alright, thanks." He said and turned around to walk away planning to come back soon.
Cameron gave him one last look as she walked ahead to House's office muttering to herself.
"Something you want to share with the class?" House prompted hearing her mumble.
"No." She said.
"Aw come on." He retorted with mock childishness.
"There was just some boy asking about you." She told him.
"You mean a hot young woman, they keep following me around." He said.
"No those are the interns afraid to approach you about cases.. I meant a well built dark haired kid." She repeated.
"What'd he want?" He asked no longer really interested.
"That's what I'm not sure. He seemed fine he wanted to know where your office was then when I offered to bring him in he bailed." She told him.
"Did he have any symptoms?" House asked.
"I don't think so, it was just a bit odd like he was being careful in his speech. He seemed worried he might say the wrong thing," She told him.
"Do you run into that a lot with young men?" He asked with a nasty gleam.
"He wasn't hitting on me, he was curious about your office." She said getting agitated.
"How'd he know you work for me?" House asked her.
"He didn't." Cameron told her.
"Then why'd he talk to you and not the desk? No don't answer that boys of all ages are drawn to pretty women." He said with a look. Those same looks that were making her crazy.
Wilson walked in and the topic was dropped.
That afternoon House was in his office when Gray walked by glancing inside. House had his bad leg resting on his desk and was playing with his game boy.
"Was that him?" He called to the other room where Cameron and Foreman were discussing the current case.
Cameron turned to see Gray heading down the hall.
"Yeah." She called back.
"Who?" Foreman asked them both.
"My stalker." House told him as he entered the conference room.
"Maybe he's got a sick relative." Cameron suggested.
"If dear old granny was sick he wouldn't be lurking on the fourth floor. He walked by three times in the last two hours." House let them know.
"Maybe he just heard the vampire rumor and wanted to see for himself." Foreman suggested.
"He's young, not dumb." Cameron said.
"You hear her jumping to my defense, don't you wish you had a Cameron of your own Dr. Foreman." House said and a blush came over Cameron's face but Foreman defended her.
"She was defending the kid not you." He said.
Meanwhile Gray was watching the interaction from a corner across the hall.
"You need some help?" Dr. James Wilson asked spotting the boy.
