Chapter 3 - Dr Chase and Dr. Foreman Meet Dr. Shepard

Chase and Foreman stepped out of the elevator into the hospital.

"Did you get their flight number?" Foreman asked, looking over at Chase.

"Uh huh... flight 666 from L.A." Chase replied, looking at the small, crumpled up paper. "It'll touch down with House and his mates within the nextfour days."

"'House and his mates?'" Foreman repeated.

"I'm Australian!" Chase exclaimed, rounding a corner with Foreman. They were in a hospital in Sydney, Australia. "And I'm in Australia. The best place to unleash my Aussie vocabulary."

That little tidbit of information was correct. They were on a site-seeing and famous doctor stalking trip in Sydney, Australia together. They would meet with House and his mates, do the tourist thing with them, then leave on a flight back to L.A. the next day.

Foreman chuckled and stopped a nurse. "Um, excuse me, but have you seen Dr. Jack Shepard?"

She nodded. "Um, yeah, he's in the morgue." she said.

"Thanks." Chase said. They walked down a hall, made a right, then entered a hall with rows of silver doors.

"The morgue?" Chase said questionably.

"Nice morgue." Foreman said.

"We should have one like this." Chase said.

"Dead people don't care, Chase."

"That's him." they heard from an open door. The voice sounded troubled. Then, a distraught Dr. Jack Shepard emerged from behind that open door and walked towards Foreman and Chase and the exit.

"Um, Dr. Shepard?" Foreman said, stepping in front of Jack.

"Yeah, what is it?" Jack asked, seemingly in a hurry.

"We're doctors from New Jersey," Chase said, "I'm Dr. Chase, and this is Dr. Foreman. We wanted to talk to you."

"Now's not a good time." Jack said, pushing past them.

"Wait, can we just have a word with you?" Foreman asked.

Jack nodded slowly. "Sure. I hope you didn't travel all this way just for me."

"No." Chase said.

Foreman shook his head, grinning. "Not at all."

"I'm almost flattered, gentlemen." Jack said.
