Welcome to chapter 2! Thanks so much for the reviews that I recieved from COme as yOu are, Aunt Rackie, Dark Em, silveremerald202, and Ecohorse. Your input and reviews were very much appreciated. But not to fear...Daxter will be added to the mix starting in chapter 3. And as for Samos, he'll be coming into the picture a bit later on. Other than that, you can continue onto the story:)

----- "How are you feeling today?" The doctor said to her. He had short, blonde hair and an adorable Australian accent. He seemed kind, though.

"Fine. But who are you?" she said. She looked about the room. It was simple. A small table with flowers on it, a few chairs, a tv, and all of the equipment necessary to keep her living right now.

"I'm Dr. Robert Chase."

She smiled, "Looks to me like I got the cute doctor."

Chase smiled back with a slight chuckle, "Well, unfortunately, I'm one of many doctors for you, Keira." Chase noted the huge, radiant smile and the energy that she gave off. He was very aware that someone coming out of a coma and waking up throwing up blood to be feeling so good right now was unnatural. In the blink of an eye, Keira eliminated the possibility of her having ICD. Which was a diagnosis that everyone was so sure of. Keira was turning out to be one very strange case. But her sudden recovery was worrying Chase. Something was bound to go wrong eventually. "You know, Keira, you must be feeling so much better. Espicially after all that you body has been through."

"I am feeling very much better. I can handle it. Coma, blood, doesn't matter I have plenty of support to make it through." Keira smiled warmly. "Speaking of support, where is Jak? Can I see him?"

There was a knock on the sliding glass door. It slid open and Cameron stepped inside. She had a smile on her face. "Keira, we have a special visitor for you." Cameron stepped to the side to reveal to Keira's sight, Jak. Keira was in wide-eyed surprise. Jak ran to her and gave her a huge hug. "We'll leave you two alone." Cameron motioned to Chase.

Cameron and Chase both stepped out of the room and began to walk down the busy, bustling hall filled to the brim with doctors and nurses. "She has gotten to better, too fast." Chase finally said to Cameron.

"You make that sound like it is a bad thing." A hint of a laugh in Cameron's voice.

"It is. Or at least I think so." Chase said. His voice grew very serious. "And is it just me, or is Keira unnaturally brave and not at all bothered by what has happened so far."

"You think that her bravery and 'uncaring' is a symptom? Doesn't that sound a bit far fetched to you? Maybe she is naturally happy and brave. We don't know that for sure, we hardly know her. Plus, it's nice to see her feeling so much better." Cameron smiled at the thought of Keira and Jak finally together again.

"But Cameron, usually when patients get that much better, that fast. They usually get that much worse, just as fast."

Cameron mulled it over for a second. "I guess you do have a point about that. Let's discuss this with House." She began to do a slight jog down the hall. She motioned to Chase to hurry up. "Come on, we've got a life to save."

----Two women strolled down the hall. One was rather short with long, curly black hair and rather pale skin. This is Dr. Lisa Cuddy, Haven City Teaching Hospital's director. The other woman was very tall. She had red hair and a series of patterns tatooed on her face. They stopped in the hallway and stared into one of the glass walled offices. Inside was a man, his cane resting on a desk, throwing a ball against the wall.

"Who is he?" The woman said spitefully.

"That is Dr. Gregory House." Lisa Cuddy pointed out.

"First, why isn't he wearing a lab coat? And, secondly, why is he not doing anything?" Her voice sounded agitated.

"Well, he never wears his lab coat," Cuddy explained. "And he is rather a specialist doctor. Deals with cases that most doctors give up on. He is the best doctor that this hospital has."

The other woman's eyes narrowed threateningly. "Tell him to at least start wearing his lab coat. And give him something to do tomorrow. Put him in the clinic or something. And if you don't, I'll take things into my own hands." She walked off down the hall.

Cuddy sighed and headed into House's office. House turned to her and said, "So, Cuddy who was that you were standing with in the hallway? Did you hire me a stripper again? That's why you are my favorite hospital director."

"Save it House. And I'm the only hospital director here." Cuddy took in a deep breath. "Could you wear your lab coat?"

House gave her a look, "No."

Cuddy shot him an annoyed glance and sighed, "Ashelin just donated 50 million to our hospial and----"

"I said no. I'm not wearing that stupid lab coat. I didn't ask for why." House thought over what Cuddy was saying. "Come to think of it, why would she do that? Ashelin is not the giving type. She's a selfish little whor--- unless...there was something in it for her."

"My point House, is that she could have used that money elsewhere. But she chose to use it here. All she asked is to become the chairman of our board. Now that, I think, is a very reasonable request----"

"It's a huge mistake. She wants something greater that just kind charity." House pointed out.

"All she asks is that you wear your lab coat." Cuddy sighed exasperatedly.

"I'll think about it."

Cuddy hissed, "Grr...if you don't come in tomorrow with your lab coat on I'll remove you from your current case with Keira. All you have to do ----"

"Is you? Exam room one should be empty right now."

"Just come in with your damn lab coat on, House!" Cuddy stormed out of his office.

House grabbed his cane and made his way to the dry erase board. On it he wrote: "House-- 1, Cuddy-- 0"

-----Cameron and Chase entered House's office and explained Keira's very strange sudden recovery. House thought it over, "First, we need to figure out what is making her better. Stop all the medicines and add one back at a time to see what is helping her. Maybe then this will be easier to diagnose." House stared at the two of them. "Where is the tall, dark one? His name is Foreman, right?"

Chase rolled his eyes, "Clinic duty today."

They stood there for a moment. House tapped his cane on the floor. "Stat. Doesn't that mean 'hurry up' or 'move your asses'."

-----Jak had taken his place sitting next to Keira. "I've missed you so much." He whispered to her.

"I feel so bad for what you have had to endure. But at least we are here now for each other. That's all that matters. A gurgling noise was heard. Keira stared at Jak.

"Sorry," Jak said. "I'm just a bit hungry." Jak stood. "I'll be right back. I just need to get something to eat."

"Alright." Keira said. And Jak was off in search of something to eat. "Ow." Keira placed a hand over her heart.

Moments later Cameron and Chase entered the room. "How are you feeling?" Cameron asked.

"My chest feels funny." Keira said.

"Don't worry." Cameron reassured kindly. "It is probally just a side effect of the medicine, ok Keira?"

Chase stared at Keira. "Umm...Keira. Keira, are you ok. Stay with us..."

Cameron ran over to Keira's side and put two fingers to her neck. She felt around for a pulse. "She's got no pulse!"

"Cardiac arrest. Cameron get the paddles!" Chase shouted, "We need some more help in here!"

Cameron wheeled over the paddles, "Here!"

"Alright." Chase applied a jelly to them and rubbed them together. He placed one over Keira's heart and another on her side. "320 on my mark. Charging...clear!" An electrical impulse tried to jumpstart Keira's heart.

Nothing.

"340. Charging...clear!"

Still nothing.

"360. Charging...clear!"

Ahhh, it's the evil cliffhanger! I love those. Seems like Chase was right. Keira would get better...that worse. But in chapter three Ashelin and House will butt heads. But only one can come out on top, and House is determined to prove that Ashelin doesn't mean any good. Betrayal will happen to House, but it will be one of his own teammates that is planning to backstab him! And House has a very special job for Daxter. But how will Ashelin and Jak react to each other when he finds out her plans for the hospital? All coming up in chapter three!
