"I thought you were the only one who could drive me crazy," Dr. Lisa Cuddy ranted as she caught up with the infamous Dr. Gregory House in one of the many hallways of the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. "Have you met your new patient yet?"
"What the devil is wrong with you, Cuddy?"
"Your patient, House. The Vietnam veteran, he calls himself 'Howling Mad' Murdock. He was in a mental institution for..."
"No, not that," the doctor replied, glancing down at her red blouse. "You're not showing any cleavage. Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm serious here! H.M. and his brother Marvin... there's something not quite right with them. Marvin was trying to hit on me..."
"Big surprise there. You know, if you get a whole new wardrobe maybe these things will stop happening."
"Oh forget it..." Cuddy sighed as she walked away.
Later that night, she was busy sorting through files when there was a knock on her door. She looked up to see H.M.
"Excuse me, why are you out of your bed? You have a serious medical condition..."
"In my head, yes yes I know. But I had to come talk to you. You see, where there's a problem, me and my brother are there to fix it. We heard there was a problem named Vogler around here..."
"Yes... but why..."
H.M. closed the door and stepped closer to Cuddy's desk.
"Faceman, my brother... he's not really my brother. We fought together in 'Nam, along with B.A. and Hannibal. After the war we went around helping people. We called ourselves the A-Team."
"I remember hearing stories about you," Cuddy said with interest.
"Anyway, Hannibal passed away a few years ago, and B.A. decided to retire. He says it's because I made him crazy - one time he needed a blood transfusion and I was his type, it was pretty funny actually because I look up to the big guy - but I know he's just saying that to make me feel better about it."
"Uh-huh..."
"So I'm not really sick. Me and Faceman, we're here to help with your situation. As long as you help us out. What do you say, are you in?"
Cuddy looked at H.M.'s extended hand for a moment before taking it.
"Yeah," she said, "I'm in."
