Okay... Here's part of chapter two, I want to know what everyone thinks before I continue. I don't own House or any of the House Characters... Callie, Mason, and Bethany belong to me! Enjoy


A week and a half had passed since Callie took on the role of House's newest duckling, and still there were no cases. Just boredom, clinic duty, crossword puzzles, and endless pots of coffee. Callie had planned on staying with Chase, only until she found an apartment of her own, but he told her that was ridiculous and insisted that she moved in with him permanently. That morning they were the first ones in the conference room, five minutes later they were followed by Cameron, and Foreman.

"Good Morning!" Callie said as they walked through the door.

"Morning," Came both their replies.

Then Cameron turned to the coffee machine and began her daily ritual of making coffee and sorting House's mail. The room had become quiet, Chase and Callie were both concentrating very hard on the crossword, and Foreman had left to go get in some clinic hours. Breaking the silence Callie looked up from the crossword.

"I can't believe I've been here over a week and nothing, no interesting case, no medical mysteries, nothing…. Is it always this slow around here? Because if it is maybe I will just take the peds position after all."

"Trust me it's not always like this." Cameron said, looking up from her coffee mug.

"Well I don't know about you two, but I'm not just going to sit around all day and wait," Callie said as she got up and made her way to the door.

"Where you going?" asked Chase

"To find us some sick people!" and with that she left down the hall, and in the direction of the clinic. When she got there she saw Foreman at the nurse's station.

"Hey, anything interesting?" she asked with a hopeful look on her face.

"Actually yeah, I'm not sure if it's anything House worthy, but you might be able to help." Then taking a chart from one of the nurses, Foreman motioned for her to follow him to exam room 3. When Callie entered the room she saw a little boy no older then 4 and a women who seemed to be in her late 40's. Turning to Foreman she reached her hand out for the kids chart. He gave it to her, told her he would be back later and left in search of another patient.

"Hello Mason," Stuart said looking up from his file with a smile. The little boy smiled up at her, but didn't say a word. Knowing she wouldn't get any answers from the kid she turned to the woman standing next to him.

"There aren't any symptoms or complaints listed here, what seems to be the problem?"

"I live next door to his family. I saw them leave about three days ago and I just assumed they took Mason here with them, I found him sitting on his front porch this morning. Thought he should be checked out, home alone for three days, who knows what poisons he could have gotten into." Callie couldn't believe it; the boy in front of her did not look like he had been left alone at all, he was fairly clean, looked nourished, and seemed extremely happy, just quiet.

"Okay, I'll give him a check up, but by the looks of it he seems perfectly healthy. I will have to call child services though. I'm going to go consult one of my colleagues, do you mind waiting here with him Ms…..

"Call me Bethany, and I wouldn't mind at all, Mason is a sweet little boy I just hope he's okay."

"So do I," and with that Callie left the room in search of Dr. Cuddy.
