Chase came back to the conference room after giving Maddie Lynn a bath in which the girl was allowed to play with a cup and stay in there as long as she wanted. She even laughed doubly hard when she poured a cup of soupy water on Chase's head thinking it was funny. He didn't mind and even joined in at his own account. He then got her out and wrapped a towel around her. The toddler didn't mind when he put her hair up in a small pony tail or when he dressed her in a gown. She was now clean and looked like how a two in a half year old should look like. Her hair was curly on the bottom and the top was in a pony tail in a traditional fountain type hair do.

His only conern was that when he seen what looked like a burn mark on her ankle, she and screamed, cried and wailed until he stopped asking who it was that did that. It was apparent that her grandparents had put a toll on her emotional and even mental state as well as physical. He just hoped she wasn't abused in other ways.

Cameron suprised him by getting his attention by a small 'hmph'. Chase turned around to see her and he wished now that he had stayed in Maddie Lynn's room. His collegue wasn't above asking him all sorts of questions until he finally gave in and answered them so she'd leave him alone, but not this time. This was going to keep secret no matter what unless he decided to let them know.

"What do you want Cameron," Chase finally asked.

"What's the deal with social sevices,"She asked.

Foreman was there listening to the exchange curiously.

Chase now thought it was better than never and only told them the obvious abuse part.Cameron as expected, looked sad and apolgetic because she couldn't stand child abusers. Foreman just remained stone faced and expressionless until Chase finished explaining the whole story or so Chase told them was it. They had no business knowing the last part he had just found out and he wasn't going to tell them.

"She's looking for the kid," Foreman finally said.

Cameron looked at both her co workers in alarm that Chase rolled his eyes and got up.

"What are you doing," she asked.

Foreman stood up too.

"Someone has got to explain something to her," Chase answered.

Cameron nodded.

"What do I tell the social worker when she gets here," she asked.

"That a Madd-Madison Lovett is the child's name and she's in pediatrics," Chase replied.

Cameron and Foreman shared a look.


House took in Evee and knew why Chase had rescued the kid from her. The woman looked super angry and he could tell that anything could set her off. Why he was telling the patient that her husband was dieing when usually it was his coworkers was beyond him. Maybe it was that he wanted to know why Chase took the kid. He felt Evee knew something.

"So why is my grandaughter in the pediatrics agian," Evee asked.

"Because she is very sick," House answered.

"None sense, she's just stupid," Evee snapped.

House had a sudden urge to hit the woman with his cane. Not in all his life had he ever called a child stupid or unworthy. She didn't call the kid unworthy but she had unknowingly or knowingly inplied it, he wasnt' sure which.

"The kid is there for observation," House answered.

"I don't care, she is a bad egg. I should have killed my daughter for going to Australia and having a relationship with a stupid Aussie," Evee screamed.

A lightbulb clicked in House's head.

"Is this certain Aussie blond," House asked.

"Yeah why," Evee asked.

"Excuse me while I get a consult," House said.

"For my husband," Evee asked hopefully.

House agian had to resist the temptation of hitting her with his cane.

"No for the kid, what's-her-name," House replied.

"Madison," Evee answered indifferently.

House nodded.

He finally realized why his young coworker was acting so strangely, now he had to confront him.
