Rated: FRAO for profanity, graphic violence, and a mention of RAPE.

Spoilers: Figure all the episodes that have shown in the US.
Summery: A horrible crime and skeletons are brought out of the closet.
Authors Note: I am warning you, that this work contains the mention of a rape. This isn't slash. Although it involves a relationship of two men. Also I created some answers to questions that have been bothering me. See if you can figure them out. Please send feedback to Constructive criticism is welcome, flames will be used to melt chocolate.
How Do You Deal
"Has anyone heard from Chase yet?" House asked as he faced two thirds of his staff. It was already eleven a.m. and their patient from yesterday was showing no signs of recovery.
"Tried his cell, apartment, and pager. No answer." Cameron said.
"Well I don't think that Mr.-"
"Beckman." Forman added in.
"Beckman is going to wait till Dr. Chase graces us with his presence. So to the board we go." He turned back to the white board with a new black marker.
"Any news?" Dr. Wilson saddled up to his friend Gregory House standing at the desk of the clinic looking through files.
"Trying to find a quick patient."
"It's easier to talk to them to diagnose them."
"That takes all the fun out of guessing." He looked at the half full waiting room. "They can wait. I need some fresh air." And he started to walk out of the hospital.
"So Chase call in yet?"
"No. And I'm so gonna fire his ass as soon as I see it."
"What if he's sick?"
"He could still call. We'd make him chicken soup. Have Cameron bring it over and spoon feed him. There better be something really wrong."
"I'm just saying-" Wilson was cut off by squealing tires, a van door opening and a body being pushed out and rolling till it hit the wall House and Wilson were leaning against.
House dropped to the groud and moved the body onto its back. "Shit. Wilson, get a gurney and some help. It's Chase."
Lisa Cuddy was walking around the clinic when she ran into Allison Cameron. "Have you seen Dr. House?" Cuddy asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing. Mr. Beckman seems to be responding to the treatment."
"Good. Has Dr. Chase shown up yet?"
"No. I was actually going to go check out his apartment to make sure he was okay."
"Good idea. Go. I'll cover for you."
"Dr. Foreman is still monitoring the-"
"Get a gurney." Wilson ran into the front doors out of breath. Both women looked at each other and ran to grab the nearest gurney. "Also call the cops and get a room ready."
"What's going on?" Cuddy asked.
"Chase." He answered as they ran the gurney back outside.
