This is chapter 10,part one.

Hopfully I'll have part 2 up this evening. So, enough with the fill-in chapters, we have a real one!

This chapter is dedicated to Marc, who told me to get on with the actual story, so I have.

Enjoy!

A week later, House was still mad about Cameron shutting the curtains, he knew what that meant and he didn't like it. So that evening, he found himself once again following Cameron and Dan on their date. It was dark when he exited the cinema, a few meters behind the couple who seemed to be having a little argument, although House couldn't hear any of it through the crowds talking excitedly about the movie they'd just seen. He drove slowly behind them, expecting to go towards Cameron's apartment and was shocked when they pulled in next to the park. He drove along a little and parked his bike behind a tree, knowing if Cameron saw it, she'd guess he

was there. Limping slowly along in the shadows, he watched as Dan attempted to pull Cameron close to him, only to have her retaliate and push away. He tried it a few times before tackling her to the ground.

Until this moment House had found Cameron's choice of man very strange, he couldn't understand how she could have gone from liking someone as mean as himself, to someone as nice as Dan. Although now it appeared he wasn't so nice after all.

Limping as fast as he could, he attempted to hobble to her rescue.

"Get the hell off her!" he shouted.

Both Cameron and her 'attacker' turned to stare at him.

"House?" She asked incredulously.

"The one and only." He replied, seeing now that he'd made a big mistake.

"Hey! You're the guy from the toilets!" Dan exclaimed.

House swore under his breath. Cameron looked from Dan to House and back again, obviously very confused.

"Dan, what do you mean? And House, why are you here? Did you follow us?" She questioned, determined to get to the bottom of this little mystery.

Dan answered first "That night when we went to the movies and saw your doctor friend, this is the guy I knocked over in the men's bathroom!"

Cameron looked to House, to fill in the missing pieces.

"Yes, I was at the movies with Wilson. I followed you there. I followed you here too. And then I saw him push you, and thought he was attacking you, came to the rescue. I could be Super-Limp-Man!"

Cameron didn't look amused.

"You're what, stalking me?"

"And that shocks you?"

"Yes! I've seen you look through people's medical files, and trash to suit your curiosity, but this is a new low!" She seemed pretty mad to House.

"Do I get a prize?" He asked, figuring he might be able to calm her down, but his efforts did not prevail.

"No! What the hell is your problem? Can't I have a life outside of work?" She practically screamed this, House didn't know what to say, he turned to Dan hoping for a little friendly advice man-to-man, but Dan was staying well out of it.

"Yes you can! But not with some random guy I know nothing about!" OK, probably not the best response, but it was all he could think of.

"You don't have to know everything about everyone House!"

"I wanted to know he was a good guy! Since you never bothered to introduce him or anything!"

"Oh, so now it's part of my job contract to introduce everyone I know to you, is it? Remember House you are my boss. Nothing more."

Those words echoed in his head. Nothing more. He couldn't think straight. Nothing more.

"I could have been!" Another not quite brilliant response on House's behalf.

"Yeah, but you chose not to. That still doesn't explain why you followed us!"

"I want to know who this guy is Cameron!" Maybe at this point honest was the best policy.

"You want to know who he is? Fine. Gregory House, meet Dan Cameron, my not-quite-step-brother!"
