I neither own nor have any right to any of this, ever.

Discovery

Lisa Cuddy had not yet settled herself comfortably in her chair to begin her tirade on House and his resent expenditures when the call for security could be heard. Sighing in exasperation, Cuddy dropped the thick manila folder with which she was contemplating hitting House and rose from her desk.

'You. Don't move.'

'What if I have to go tinkle?' asked House giving her his best pout.

'No. Cross you legs and just hold it.' said Cuddy sternly, exiting her office quickly into her reception area.

'Fine then,' mumbled House sticking out his tongue at Cuddy's departing figure. "I'll just sit here till you come back. NOT.' Giving Cuddy a moment to become involved in whatever the security problem was, House amused himself by trying to balance his cane on the end of his finger. Giving it up, he limped to the door and opened it on chaos.

Standing in the hallway, House watched as patients were being quickly ushered away from the clinic. Security guards ran past, jingling from their equipment strapped to their bodies. The nurse it was too easy for him to freak with, Libby, was standing with Cuddy, tears flowing down her face. It took House a full minute for realization to set in. Something had actually happened in the clinic. It took only two seconds for Cameron's name to scream in his mind. She was still in the clinic. If she was out he would have known, she would have found him.

Limping quickly past Cuddy and the group of guards to try to see through the glass walls of the clinic, House's heart practically leap to his throat as he caught Libby's words.

'She's bleeding and he was strangling her.'

'Who was bleeding?' asked House trying hard to keep the concern from his voice.

'Cameron House,' snapped Cuddy, totally forgetting she had told him to stay in her office.

'Where is she?'

'Who?'

'Cameron?'

'In there!'

'OK, time out, whoa Nelli, and all of that good stuff. There's a guy in there who's not so nice…with Cameron who is bleeding.' House nodded towards the clinic before waving an arm over his head indicating the security guards, '…people with guns and stuff out here. Why not people with guns go in there and take not so nice person away?'

'He'll holding Cameron hostage,' the sound of fear was in Cuddy's voice. 'He has a knife in throat.'

'What does he want in exchange for letting her go?'

'I don't know!' practically shouted Cuddy in his face. 'You interrupted before any of us could go ask. This JUST happened you know.'

Without glancing at another person, and ignoring those who tried to block his way, House stalked to the clinic doors. Without hesitation he pulled the door open and limped into the room.

Author's note:

Sorry this is short. I've been held captive at school.

Don't worry too much… House and Cameron must be reunited, wink, wink.
