Chapter 21
House walked into his office Monday morning, not surprised to see only Mathiessen sitting at the glass table. She was drinking an energy drink (never coffee) while reading a medical journal that happened to be written by one, Gregory House.
"Interesting reading?" asked House.
"Totally," she quipped, "Though this guy seems totally unethical..."
"Pffttt..." House dismissed her thoughts jokingly.
House looked at her a moment. "Um, House, what... are you looking at?" She pushed for an answer.
"When does your fellowship contract end?" he asked, curious about how long he'd be without three fellows.
"Um... in about a year..." she was curious as to his thoughts. "House, do we have a case, or can I go do my clinic hours?"
House tossed her his name tag. "Why don't you do mine too while you're down there." He winked informing her they didn't have a case.
She rolled her eyes and took the tag. "Where are you going?"
"Golfing!" House smiled and walked out the door towards Stacey's office.
Mathiessen stood up and headed towards the clinic. After she'd finished off House's hours, she began on her own. Her first patient as... well... herself... was the last thing she'd expected to see that day.
