Anywhere but here part 1

As he drove down the busy city streets of New Jersey searching for anywhere to park and stretch his legs, House tried to calm himself down from the argument that he had walked away from nearly five minutes ago.

What the hell was Henry thinking? The reasons behind his father's decision to regain his position as Lieutenant Colonel flashed through Greg's mind at that point as he finally came upon the parking lot of what seemed to be a very charming café located a few feet away from where he had just come in.

Entering through the main entrance, House was glad to see that his first impression of this charming bistro had been correct. It was small yet spacious and the interior of the building seemed to be a mix between modern and Romanesque.

"Can I help you sir?"

Looking into the eyes of whomever had just interrupted his thought, House greeted the hostess with a friendly nod while gesturing over to a near by table.

"Is that seat available?"

"It certainly is, right this way."

Making their way over to the booth, the hostess handed House a menu while letting her curiosity be known.

"Will their be anyone else joining you for dinner this evening?"

"Nope. I prefer to make this a solo mission of hunger."

"Right, well, Jenny will be your server today and she should be with you shortly."

"Thank you."

Once he was left alone once again, House breathed in a sigh and looked over the menu while trying not to think about anything family related. Unfortunately, this thought was short lived as his cell began to ring which could only mean one thing. His parents had told Wilson about the argument and now the oncologist was taking over his role as acting enabler and annoying twerp.

Looking down at the caller id, House was not surprised to find that he had been right in his assumptions while pressing send.

"Can I help you?"

"Where are you?"

At this comment, House rolled his eyes and tried his best to restrain himself despite the sarcastic quips that were threatening to invade his subconscious mind and seep through to his lips.

"I'm in a very pleasant part of the country called…a world without sound. Nice place, you'd love it."

Wilson chose to ignore this comment while getting right down to business.

"I spoke to your parents…"

"Naturally…"

"Their worried about you."

"Yeah, if their so worried why did they have Jiminy cricket call me, instead of doing it themselves?"

This question was justified however, Wilson didn't know the answer. In reality, the oncologist had called the apartment to tell House about the knew developments going on in his personnel life but instead was bombarded by a hysterical Blythe who had know idea where her son had gone.

It still amazed James, how much she still treated house as if he were ten years old no matter what age he actually was.

"They didn't. I called the apartment to see if you were free for a drink and the next I know your mother won't let me off the line. Said, you've been acting strange lately and then this morning just walked out without a word. What's that about?"

House couldn't help but smirk to himself. Typical, Blythe hadn't said anything about the argument or what Henry had decided to do instead, she chose to make the situation purely about her son's behavior. Which naturally wouldn't have matter so much to Greg but now, she was completely missing the point and the reasons behind his actions.

"My dad's going back to the marines."

"What?"

"That's right. Lieutenant Colonel Greenfield with be back on duty as of o'800 this Friday night."

"What about the wedding?"

"Oh, don't worry they've already taken care of that. Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Greenfield eloped over the weekend."

There was silence on the line as Wilson tried to find the words. He knew this had to be hard for House to deal with especially considering the surgery and all the other changes going on but, hopefully things would work out…hopefully.

"Wow."

"Yeah, wow."

"So, I take it you haven't told them about the surgery?"

"When would that have been appropriate? Before I stormed out? I can see how that would have gone…oh, by the way dad, while your out fighting the good fight I'll be in the hospital getting my leg chopped off. Yeah, not exactly how I would planned it out."
