Okie Dokie here's chapter 5….. And like I promised you will find out what happened to Mac! Enjoy!

House had asked Foreman to go see how the shooter was doing, and Foreman had returned with a report that the man was stable, but still unconscious. Macayla Still sat at the end of her father's bed, she hadn't said a word since she thanked Chase for her sandwich, she just listened to the conversations around her. Finally after about 20 minutes Cuddy noticed her daughter's silence.

"Macayla your awfully quite, you okay?" Snapping out of her trance, she looked up at her mother.

"What… oh yeah Mom I'm fine." Then she got up and started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Macayla turned to answer her father's question.

"I left my phone in my car; I was going to go get it." House nodded then turned to his team.

"You three, go with her."

"Dad I'm a big girl, I'm more than capable of walking to my car and getting my phone." Macayla said somewhat annoyed.

"It's dark and there are freaks and weirdo's running around, just humor me."

"Fine whatever." Then she turned and left the room, Chase, Cameron and Foreman right behind her.

As they were walking down the hall Macayla turned to them.

"You three don't have to come… we can just pretend like you did." Macayla wasn't in the mood for company, the reason she wanted to go get her phone was so she could have some time to herself.

"We better just go with you, like your dad said, freaks and weirdo's." Chase replied, leaving Macayla very disappointed. She covered it up though, nodded, did the whole fake smile thing, and then led them out the doors of the hospital and into the crisp night air. When they reached her car, the ducklings waited as she got her phone. Then Cameron asked the question that all three of them wanted to know.

"Hey, Macayla," Macayla turned to her after she was done locking the car door.

"Yeah"

"The man that shot your dad, you said that he was the one from when you were little…..

"My mom didn't tell you," Macayla replied as she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned on the side of her car.

"She just told us that something bad happened to you when you were seven." Chase had cut in.

"Oh, I a…I'm…

They could tell she was uncomfortable with talking about it.

"You don't have to tell us, we understand." Foreman replied. Macayla looked up at them and smiled.

"No its okay, I want to." The others just nodded and waited for her to continue.

"There wasn't any school that day; I think it was a teacher work day or something… I can't really remember. Anyways, so I came into work with my Mom, we were in her office, she was doing work stuff and I was drawing a picture for my dad. Then she got a page and she told me she would be right back, and like a good little girl I stayed there and continued to color. Then about five minutes later I heard someone walk in, I thought it was my mom so I ignored it, and didn't bother looking up….

Macayla paused taking in a deep breath, while tears threatened to fall down her face.

"Then someone grabbed me. I was so scared I couldn't have screamed if I wanted too…. It was like I had lost my voice, my gift, it was gone……

The others stood there listening, and they all couldn't help but feel for Macayla.

"Then what happened?" Foreman asked

"He carried me out of the room, for some reason there was nobody around, so he got by unnoticed. He took me to the roof of the hospital, I thought he was going to throw me off…. Then out of nowhere he started hitting and kicking me, basically I turned into his human punching bag. While he was hurting me, he never said anything, but the look on his face was enough to send shivers up somebody's spine.

"Then he stopped, and just stood there and stared at me, like he was waiting for me to pass out or die. I wanted to get up and run away, but I couldn't move, even if I wanted to… then sometime after that I passed out…..

Chase, Cameron, and Foreman were all in shock, how could such a good person go through something so horrific. While Cameron and Foreman felt bad for her, even disgusted with her and her father's attacker, Chase felt enraged, he wanted to kill that man, watch him suffer… He didn't know why he felt so strongly about this girl that he had just met, this eighteen year old girl… he kept telling himself. All he knew was that she made him feel away he had never felt, and he couldn't bear to see her in pain, or to think that she had experienced such pain in her life.

"Then what?" Cameron chimed in.

"The next thing I knew I was waking up in a hospital room, with my Mom and Dad hovering over me, and Wilson standing in the corner of the room. My parents told me that I had almost died, my wounds were really bad, I was covered in bruises, and cuts, I had a broken arm, 3 broken ribs, a concussion, I needed like 500 and something stitches in my head and back. It felt like I was only sleeping for a couple of minutes, turns out I was out of it for 5 days."

"How did they find you, and where did he go? Chase had finally found his voice, and he wanted to know why they never caught the monster.

"Well they told me that my mom went back into her office and saw that I wasn't there… and she panicked, she called my Dad and Uncle Jimmy down and they started looking for me, then the whole hospital started helping…. They couldn't find me. The last place they looked was the roof, my Dad thought that maybe I had snuck up there, he never expected to find what he did, none of them did."

"What about your attacker, why didn't he get caught?" Chase asked again.

"He must have left after I passed out, and walked out of the hospital, like he was just a regular patient, that was supposed to be there."

Macayla couldn't believe she was telling them this, the worst thing that had ever happened to her and she was telling three people that she had just met not more then six hours ago. At the same time, though, it felt good to tell someone. But the looks they were giving her, the sympathetic, pity looks, were about to drive her crazy.

"Yeah, well that's what happened, that's why you never knew about me, my parents sent me to like with my grandma, my mom's mom. My dad even paid off the entire hospital staff to never mention me again."

"We're really sorry." Cameron said for all three of them

"Why, you shouldn't be, you weren't the ones that tried to kill me…. I was starting to get over it, or at least go through out the day without thinking about it, but after I saw him……." Her voice trailed of and her eyes found a spot on the ground.

"Why don't we go back inside, before your Dad send out a search party," Foreman said.

"He probably already has," replied Macayla. Making all of them laugh as they followed each other back into the hospital, the doors shutting behind them.

That's chapter five… very dramatic… also, the attacker guy isn't the same guy from the actual episode when House was shot, just to let everyone know! Well I hoped you liked it. I'm still thinking about the next chapter, so I will update as soon as something comes to me…. If any of you have any suggestions that would be awesome
