Chapter 5 - Thinking

House walked into the conferenceroom. "Alright ducklings! I have some good news and some bad news."

"Start with the bad news…" Foreman said.

"Ok, the bad news is that Cuddy gave me 10 extra clinic hours this week, because I made a comment about her funbags and she didn't like it… Strange, he?."

"And what is the good news? " Foreman asked.

"I'm not going to do them, one of you guys is!" House said cheerily.

He thought for a minute and said, "Uhm… Let's see… Chase! You're the lucky one! Here's my badge and have fun!"

"Why do I have to do them? Why not Foreman or Cameron? Foreman and Cameron quickly sneaked out of the conference room to check on their patient.

"Because I said so. Now go!"

"No, I'm not going to do them for you. It's time that you do all of your own clinic hours in stead of us doing them." Chase threw the badge back.

House slowly got up from his chair.

He's not going to hit me, is he? Chase thought.

House took a few steps until he was right in front of Chase's chair.

Here it comes, Chase thought.

"Good job, Wombat! You finally stood up for yourself!

"Thank you," Chase answered. He was so relieved.

House continued, "But you still have to do my clinic hours. Bye!"

Chase sighed, picked up the badge from the table and walked out of the conference room towards the clinic. In secret, he was proud of himself for finally having the nerve to stand up against House.
