Chase looked at House who had not taken his eyes off of the TV and did not until the last of the credits had finished.
"What did you say?" he asked knocking his cane against the floor.
"Our patient hallucinated and we had to pull her out of CT. She wouldn't hold still long enough." Chase answered.
"So, how can I help with this?" House asked gruffly.
"Well since you are our boss I figured we could fill you in. Not to mention the fact that I don't know how much longer she will be here." Foreman told him.
"How so? Is she dieing?" House asked.
"No, but I don't know how much longer she is going to buy that whole you can't sign out AMA because of a concussion garbage." Foreman laughed.
"She's tried to leave already." Chase informed him.
"Where is Cameron?" House asked looking around.
"Doing lab work." Chase answered.
"Well...Cameron...I think she'll stay for the time being." Chase stuttered.
"Don't you think one of you should be going back to her room?" House asked.
"Ugh, yeah, right, I'll go." Chase told him.
"Good, and next time Foreman maybe you should leave your daddy behind with your patient so that she doesn't do a disappearing act, now that I think about it I haven't seen one of those in a while and I think it would be great fun." House told him.
Foreman looked at House, "Your right."
"Now go tell your daddy to do the test." House ordered.
"How are we supposed to keep her still?" Foreman asked.
"Grampy can't give you the answers to everything; maybe you should ask mommy and daddy for help, hmm." House told his duckling.
Foreman shot House a dirty look and left the room. Cameron passed him in the hall and went into the room with House.
"Oh and do you have good news for me to?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
"Actually I have the test results back on Mandy." she answered.
"Shouldn't you be telling the two little boys who think they are doctors this?" he asked.
"Well, yes but there is something weird about these results. Do you mind to take a look at them? But wait is that going to cramp your style, because if it is then I guess I can figure it out myself." she said making sure to make him feel bad.
"Give me those." he said snatching the papers from her with not the slightest bit of regret in his voice.
He glanced at the report carefully, "Her white blood cell count is low we need to get her into a clean room immediately." he told her laying the report on his desk.
"Why would her white blood cell count be low, it makes no sense." Cameron mumbled as she watched House write the newest symptom on the famous white board.
"Go…get her in the clean room. Before she gets any germs then we won't have a patient to save." House told her as he looked thoughtfully at the board.
------------------
Chase walked into Mandy's room hoping to find the woman still there, he peeked around the corner and gave a sigh of relief when he saw her laying peacefully on the bed.
Chase sat down on a chair and looked around the room, he saw the remote laying on the nightstand and went to grab it, but jumped when he heard someone come in.
They heard someone else enter the room and turned to see Cameron, "We need to get her in a clean room now, her blood test came back and her white blood cell count is low." she told them hurriedly.
---------------------
Chase helped Mandy out of the wheelchair, "We have to leave it out here its not sterile.
"I'm not going in there." Mandy told them.
"Somebody got up on the wrong side of the hospital bed..." Foreman smiled grabbing her other arm.
"There isn't a right side in a hospital bed." Mandy told them grumpily, "And as I've already told you I'm not going in there."
"Yes you are, sorry but this is for your own good." Chase told her covering his mouth and nose with a mask with his free hand.
Cameron grabbed Foreman and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to go and talk to House about going and getting a court order that she has to stay here." Foreman nodded and turned his attention back to where he was supporting Mandy with his arm.
"Listen, I'm not going in there and you can't make me. . . . it's against the law," Mandy said hoping what she was stating was true.
"Why won't you go in there? It's not like it's a big deal or anything." Foreman asked suspiciously.
"Because…because I just don't want to." she yelled
"It will help keep you safe from infections. Really you're lucky to have a room like this." Chase answered with compassion, "Now stop being stubborn and get in there." Chase mumbled under his breath.
"What did you say?" Mandy asked
"Nothing!" Chase replied gripping her arm even tighter, "Come on."
"I will come in here for a few seconds, only." Mandy told them.
"Okay, as long as you agree to come in for at least a little while." Foreman told her leading her into the room.
------------------
Cameron looked at House who was holding his game boy tight in his hand. She looked at his face, he looked so…so…so much like a kid and she laughed.
"What's so funny?" House asked not looking up from his game.
"Nothing…you might want to talk to Cuddy about getting a lawyer and going to court and getting the judge to agree to keep Mandy here even if it's against her will." Cameron told him.
"Why would I ask Cuddy for help, I don't want to associate myself with someone like her." House told her.
"You're going to have to if you want your patient to stay here and get treatment." Cameron smiled.
"Who said I care about her?" House asked still not looking up from his game.
"You care about her she is your patient." Cameron told him.
"Fine, I'll ask her but I'm not going to beg her, if she doesn't want to I'm not going to do puppy dog eyes or anything. Ok? And let me get this straight I don't care about anyone."
"Yeah sure whatever." Cameron told him and stood staring at him for several seconds until he looked up.
"Do you need something?" he asked her slamming his game boy down.
"Yeah, I need you to go and talk to Cuddy." Cameron said once again.
"I will…I will…just let me finish this level…the more you interrupt me the longer it will take for me to finish." House told her picking the game back up and pushing the buttons in quick succession on the keypad.
Cameron sighed and walked out of the room.
