So, enjoy the last chapter of Jak, M.D. and a final thanks to all those who have supported and review for this fanfic, you all have been great!
---- Cameron, Chase, and Foreman stormed the halls. Carrying with them an aura of presence and purpose. They were headed for Keira's room to perform one last test. This one small test could make or break Keira. Her life hung in the balence and time was running out, so this was all that they could do. Since the team could not locate their boss, House, they chose to act on their own. But doing this one small test, without the clearence of their boss could land them in major trouble, which included suspension and in worse cases being fired. But this was to save a life and it was a life worth saving, so the team was willing to take their chances and risk it all.
"Nurse!" Cameron yelled as they continued to proceed to Keira's room.
"Yes, Dr. Cameron?"
"I need..." Cameron remembered the rest of the team. "We need Keira's vitals, stat."
The nurse smiled pleasently, "Gladly. Luckily for you, I'm Keira's nurse. She came out again of the coma and surprisingly her vitals are great, but I'm not sure how long that will last."
"Thank you." Cameron gave the nurse the ok to go. They stopped in front of Keira's room. "Ok, gameplan."
"I'll stab her in the foot with a needle, while you and Chase distract her." Foreman pulled a syringe out of his pocket.
"Sounds like we have a plan." Chase slid the door open and stood at Keira's side. Cameron joined him and Foreman stood at the foot of the bed. "So, Keira, how do you feel now?"
"Refreshed actually. I'd like to be a doctor, you know. I've always wanted to help people. So, I'm studying hard." Keira held the book up to them. It was a book on Hematology (study of the blood and it's cells).
Cameron smiled slightly, "Keira, that is very nice, but you don't feel that?"
"Feel what?" Keira looked down towards Foreman and at her feet. "What the---no, I don't. What does that mean?" Keira's voice was a little shaken.
Foreman pulled the needle out of her foot, "We're about to find out."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- "So, you're telling me that you did a differential with out me and you did your own little test behind my back?" House was standing with his back to a bookshelf in his office. Cameron and Foreman were seated at House's rather untidy desk and Chase cleared off a small part on the desk so that he could sit.
"Are you mad?" Cameron asked in the same tone that a little kid confronting their parents would do.
"(sarcastic sniffle) Finally, my little ducklings are growing up." Although somewhere House really was proud of them and did mean it, it came out completely sarcastic. "I must be rubbing off on you. Only I would dare to do something like that, so sneaky and devoius. But it was the perfect plot."
Cameron. Chase, And Foreman looked at each other. Meybe House was rubbing off on them. And, slowly, they were becoming more and more like him. They shook their heads at the thought. The last person to model after is House. Although it may be somewhat true, they didn't want to believe that they'd be anything like House. House was mean, cruel, and grumpy all the time. The only thing they could hope for is to never be that miserable in life.
House allowed them to let their thoughts sink in, "Differential diagnosis."
"Anaplylaxis." Chase, Cameron, and Foreman answered in unison.
"Great." House said. "Let's give her the treatment."
"Wait," Foreman said. "You are coming with us? To see a patient? You?"
House didn't answer and they all proceeded to the elevador. They all piled in and waited for the elevador to reach the first floor. Out of curisoity, Cameron asked,"You aren't going to tell Cuddy about our little stunt, are you House?"
"Please, You don't see me running to Cuddy everytime I'm plotting something, do you?" The elevador opened and they all headed to Keira's room. Chase, Foreman, and Cameron bore triumphant smiles. They were proud of themselves and happy that Keira was going to make it. Passing doctors and nurses wondered what they were grinning about, but they knew that it could only be good news.
Chase slid the door open to Keira's room and they all piled in to her room, even House, who was uncharacteristically visiting a patient. Chase handed Keira a bottle with two pills in it and a cup of water. Foreman explained, "You have anaphylaxis. These two pills should get you better."
Keira laughed slightly, "Just two pills? That's it?"
"Yup. That's it." Cameron answered with a smile.
Keira downed the pills and thanked House and his team about a thousand times for all of their help and for never giving up on her. Even House had a faint, so faint you couldn't even see it, smile of accomplishment. (the smile is there though, it's just microscopic. House can't smile too much, might crack his face like galss). As they left the room, Keira stopped House. "I have a small question for you House?"
"What?"
"Would you be looking to hire an intensivist/ hematologist? I've been studying it for years."
"If you have enough knowledge and can cover both positions, then you can talk to Dr. Cuddy."
House left and immediately after him Jak, Samos, and Daxter came into the room. They were so happy to see her getting well and they bombarded her with love and affection. All of them were grateful for House and his expert team of doctors. And Keira couldn't help but be envious of what they could do. But seeing them in action gave Keira a clear course in life that she wanted. She wanted to be able to help people like they could, she wanted to learn from House and his team. Her father always told her that she would make a great doctor, and Keira wanted to make that vision of his a reality.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- After a while Daxter left the little party that they were throwing in Keira'a room. He went on the prowl for something to eat and drink. After all it had been a very long day and week in general. Daxter continued to walk down the hall until he was stopped by a familiar cane-shaped object. Daxter looked up and it was who he thought it was, it was House. "Are you interested in a little job offer?"
"Hmmm..." Daxter said, considering the thought. "What kind of job?"
House looked down at Daxter, "I could use someone of your spying talent. The patients that I get can be very sneaky and secretive. I need someone who is brave and daring and willing to do what it takes to find the truth behind the lies. Usually, I'd send Foreman, he's great at breaking into people's houses. But you are a notch above him." House handed him a pen and a contract. "Trust me, you'll be making a lot."
Daxter thought about it for a second and then took the pen. He neatly signed his name on the contract, "You've got yourself a deal, House."
"Good." House replied. "Welcome to the team. And along with Cameron, Chase, and Foreman, you are also now one of my bitches."
"Wait, what!" Daxter yelled. "I didn't sign for that! You must be crazy!" House was walking away. "Hey, don't ignore me! This isn't funny! House, get back here!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- A knock, knock could be heard on the office door. Dr. Lisa Cuddy looked up from her mounds of work. "Come in." she said. Jak opened the door and strode into her office. He took a seat in one of the chairs at the opposite end of her desk. Cuddy quickly scribbled something onto a piece of paper and then placed her pen down, giving her full attention to Jak. "So Jak, what brings you here?"
"Would you be looking for an EMT?" Jak asked. It was a rather odd position he found himself in. He never imagined that he'd be looking for a job at a hospital. But Jak did consider how much fun it would be to be an EMT. First off, he'd be able to save lives. Secondly, he'd be able to race an ambulance at illegal speeds and never get in trouble for it. Jak felt that it would be an adrenaline rush that he could get used to likeing.
Cuddy nodded, "I heard about your heroic deed and your responce to the situation at hand. I am very impressed even still. So if you really want the job, you can have it. You have proven yourself already, so I don't think you'll need an interview and to go through the whole process. But there is one small catch..."
"What's that?"
"I want you to take any cases that you find, that are very strange to House. Basically, you get to be House's case manager. You will present him with anything that my pique his interest. You're not fully a member of House's team, but more or less an "extention" to the team."
Jak was relieved. He thought the "small catch" was going to be something that would be a bother. But all of this sounded good to Jak. "Yeah, I'll take the job."
"Great." Cuddy extended her hand to Jak for a handshake. "Welcome to the staff of Haven City Teaching Hospital."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- It had been one week. A week since Keira had been released from the hospital. A week that had gone by that marked the hardest case to solve so far in House and his team's careers. House was once more approaching the door that led to Dr. Lisa Cuddy's office. House always got a kick from bugging her and stressing her out. But no matter what, Cuddy always put up with House and his nonsense. House went to enter Cuddy's office, until he was met with the sight of a very well looking Keira.
"Oh, Hi, Dr. House. I'll see you next week." Keira strolled off holding in her arms a lab coat and a stethoscope.
Confused, House went into Cuddy's office. She looked up at him and gave House one huge grin. "Well, I guess you just met the newest addition to your team. Now, you have and extra intensivist and now a hematologist. Keira starts next week."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
