The next morning Wilson drove Gray to the hospital. House, Cameron, Foreman, and Chase were already in the conference room when they walked in.
Gray moved to lean against the counter they'd stayed at the bar two more hours after House and Cameron had left. After which Foreman hooked up with Sarah, the teacher, and Gray had made out with her friend while Wilson flirted and hung by the bar before taking Gray home.
They were all pretty hung over.
"What's going on, are you guys sick?" Chase asked.
"What are you talking about?" Foreman asked.
"You all seem I don't know." Chase answered.
"Are you feeling okay?" Cameron threw in.
"I'm fine. I'm going to check the results in the lab they should be up soon." He said and left.
"I'll follow." Gray said wanting to know what was going on with Dr. Chase and how he could betray his team.
"So what's Julie think of you getting home late drunk and with my offspring?" House asked.
"She wasn't there." Wilson told him.
"So Foreman was the teacher good between the sheets?" House asked.
"We're having dinner tonight." He said.
"Taking someone you slept with to dinner, what an idea." Cameron said.
"You want that? It sounds like Wilson will be free." House offered.
"Go to hell." Cameron said and left followed by Foreman.
"Something I said?" House asked.
"Maybe she doesn't want to have dinner with me?" Wilson responded.
"That's good you'd only hurt her." House said.
"And you won't?" He shot back.
"At least I'm honest." He said.
"You tell her how you feel?" Wilson retorted.
"At least I can feel something for her." House said.
"I care about her." Wilson said.
"You always care about them. You know what I mean. Why do you do it to yourself?" House asked.
"Don't start this." Wilson warned.
"You could get any guy. You're a smart rich sexy doctor." House told him. "If Chase hadn't turned out to be susceptible to the dark side I would have suggested him." House continued.
"Robert? Are you kidding?" Wilson asked surprised.
"I caught him checking me out. And he's never taken advantage of his height in regards to Cuddy and Cameron's tops and even Foreman does that." He told him.
"Well this is interesting. I never thought he'd rat you out." Wilson said before that day Chase had been a perfect pupil to House.
"I can't figure it out either." House admitted.
Meanwhile Gray was in the lab with Chase.
"Hey what's up? You like this place?" Chase asked.
"I'm getting used to it." He said. "Do you like working here?" Gray asked.
"Yeah." Chase answered.
"Then what happened?" Gray asked him.
"Huh?" Chase responded.
"Are you kidding no one trusts you." Gray said.
"Why are you asking?" Chase asked sounding bothered.
"I want to understand people and I can't understand why you'd sell out." Gray said.
"We aren't all given choices." Chase said.
"No but it usually takes an extreme threat to make someone willingly give up so much." Gray said.
"You're just a kid." Chase said.
"Like you were when you were my age?" Gray threw at him. So maybe he shouldn't have looked up their files when he was bored in House's office the other morning.
"You think you're like me?" Chase asked.
"No I just think you've gone through a lot and would have to be hiding something to make the decisions you have." Gray said.
"What do you want from me?" Chase wasn't sure if he was getting mad or upset.
"Nothing but I think you should trust someone." Gray told him.
"You are as bad as House." Chase said to him.
"Tell him, if not him then Cameron, Foreman, or Wilson. Give them a chance to understand and help." He suggested.
"Why do you care?" Chase asked.
"Because I don't understand and I need something to figure out to stay out of my own head." Gray admitted hoping to establish some sort of bond.
"I gotta go." Chase said and left the lab.
Later that day Gray was talking to Cameron.
"Chase is hiding something. I don't think he had a choice when he sold out." He said.
"What are you talking about?" She asked clearly surprised he'd bring this particular subject up.
"I talked to him this morning." He said.
"You need to figure out everyone's problems?" She asked. And Gray knew she was also referring to his interference last night.
"Blame it on the blood." He answered feeling a little guilty.
