Hi!
I'm trying to get a few chapters up a day, which should be relatively easy over the weekend, but once I'm back at school I might not be able to post for a while. I've got my mock mock GCSE's this week (seriously mock mocks!) and for some reason everyonethinks they're important and so I am having to revise in my spare time!
For those of you who didn't get my funny little joke, Officer Steady is a character from 'The Borrowers' a great kids film, he is the policeofficer played by the one and only Hugh Laurie. And Mr. Little is a character from 'Stuart Little' again played by the one and only Hugh Laurie.
Any way, enjoy!
"Come on, come on people! Differential diagnoses!" Stormed House impatiently as he paced the room.
"Could it be? MS?" Chase hazarded a guess.
"Let's see, it accounts for two of the eight symptoms, so no! Guess again!" His boss replied angrily.
"But,"
"No buts, it's not MS!"
Cameron sighed and looked around the room, the current patient had 6 doctors working on him and all of them were stumped.
House, Foreman, Chase and herself had been joined by Dr. Wilson and even more surprisingly, Doctor Cuddy.
He was a VIP, (very important patient) apparently something of a sports star, she wasn't sure what he played, nor did she really care, sports weren't her thing.
Every case they took was like one of those puzzles, the ones with all the squiggly lines where if you looked hard enough you could see a picture, but it this case, the symptoms were the lines, and the final picture was a lot harder to find. And like those puzzles, the longer you stared at them, the harder it became.
"We're missing something." Her boss mumbled.
"What though?" Foreman asked.
"That's for me to wonder, and you to find out."
They hurried of to re-do MRIs and various other tests.
An hour later the team minus House sat around a cafeteria table, contemplating a newly solved case.
"Why do people lie to us so much?"
Cameron and Chase looked up from their coffees and Foreman continued.
"If we hadn't been able to work it out, his wife would never come clean and she would have let him die to protect their marriage! And what sort of marriage was it, if they lied to each other about things like that?"
Cameron snorted in disbelief.
"What? It's true! People don't just lie to the ones they love!"
Foreman stopped speaking and looked at Cameron as if daring her to disagree. She rose to the unspoken challenge.
"And I'm supposed to be the naïve one? You don't lie in spite of loving the, you lie because you love them!"
And with that she pushed her unfinished coffee away from her, stood up and walked out, leaving a pair of very confused men in her wake.
