Chapter 13
Amy took a huge gasp as House stabbed her in the chest (kinda). Then, her breathing returned to normal... almost. She still sounded a little congested. House stared at her before grabbing another syringe and injecting it into her heart, withdrawing more blood from the sac around it. How much blood can one sac hold? He continued to withdraw blood until it stopped.. three syringes later.
"Get her an MRI. I wanna see why this sac is so big." The ducklings wheeled Amy out of the room and into the MRI.

"House," said Hart, "Her heart is... it's huge."
"Aw, how sweet," House quipped.
"Pericarditis?" asked Mathiessen.
"Maybe," said House, "but why?"
"What do you mean, why?" she retorted.
"Pericarditis didn't give her a rash and fever."
"Speaking of which," Riley began walking in the office. House stared at him.
"What?" asked House.
"Fever's gone."
"All on it's own?"
"Yup," said Riley, "Only... her temperature is now at 94 degrees. She's getting colder, House."
"I got that from 'Fever's gone.' thanks." House stared at his white board. "So... fever comes, then goes. How's the rash?"
"Still there, but you were wrong." said Mathiesen.
"Excuse me?" said House shocked.
"It's not moving up. It's still at her feet."
