Chapter 6
Cameron and House wandered off in the opposite direction of Cuddy and Wilson. They still had quite a bit of bushes, shrubs, and trees ahead though.
"We aren't going to go in there, are we?" said Cameron with a hint of fear in her voice.
"You're afraid of the jungle?" House almost laughed.
"You aren't afraid?" asked Cameron wearily. "We don't even know where we are; how are we supposed to know what kind of animals we'll find in there… or worse… bugs." Cameron shivered.
House rolled his eyes. He grabbed Cameron's arm and led her quickly into the jungle. "You want to save Chase, don't you?"
Cameron had to think about this one. "Not particularly."
House smirked. "What about the Jimmy Snacks?"
Cameron's thoughts drifted to the night before. She quickly followed House into the dark and damp jungle before her. "Only for the Jimmy Snacks."
"That's my girl," said House with a grin.
Cameron tried to look around, but found that it was too hard to do so in the shadows. Without realizing what was in front of her, Cameron tripped on some type of vine. "Ouch!" she bellowed and began to rub her knee.
"Are you okay?" asked House. He offered a barely visible hand to her, which Cameron used to stand up.
"I just hurt my knee," she said. "I'll be fine. I just wish it weren't so dark in here."
As if on key, a light appeared in between House and Cameron.
Cameron gasped in astonishment. "Where did you get that?" she asked. "How did you do that?"
House proudly showed Cameron his handmade flashlight. "I found some light bulbs in the boat," he said nonchalantly.
"But how—?" Cameron's question was interrupted by House's answer.
House rolled his eyes as if it were almost a stupid question. "Everyone knows lemons can generate power."
"But don't you also need—?" Cameron was about to question how realistic his flashlight was.
"I said lemons generate power!" said House quickly. "No more questions!"
Cameron glanced at him slightly confused. How does one go about making a flashlight out of lemons, bamboo, and light bulbs?
