Chapter 4

"Listen, Victoria, Vikki, Vic," Wilson started, trying to appeal to her sympathy by using her nicknames, "I did it for a good reason. I wanted to help Greg as much as I could. His drug habit was getting out of hand."

"I know all about his so-called 'drug habit' James and I am well aware of your pathetic excuses for trying to intervene. I do not appreciate having to be forced into imagining my brother behind bars. He is not a criminal, as I am sure you are well aware of. If he needs help, he knows where to find it and he is not going to find it in jail, being friendly with a man named Bubba. You should know that unless someone wants help they won't take it from others." Victoria spoke with anger evident in her voice and written clearly across her features. Wilson seemed to forget that what little sympathy Victoria had in her was not wasted on people she thought wronged her family, especially her brother. Wilson opened his mouth to speak but Victoria beat him to the punch. "Don't think I am done with you just yet James Wilson. How dare you presume to take on the act of the guiding light when your own life is so messed up? What is it now your third divorce? I mean can you say marriage counselor? So don't act like you are so damn perfect when your own life is a mess." After her tirade, Victoria was breathing hard trying to calm down. She had put all her energy and anger into that speech and knew she wasn't finished yet. Jimmy was as hard headed as they came and she knew he would never let up on her brother.

"He stole drugs, he forged my name on a prescription write up, and he is still popping vicodin," Jimmy tried to defend himself. How was it that this girl could make him so scared when he looked death in the eye everyday? How could she possibly be this vehement on protecting her brother, a man who was certainly capable of defending himself? James began to think he would never understand the members of the House family.

Victoria managed to calm herself and spoke to Wilson in a calm, reasonable tone of voice. "I am not saying that Greg is innocent, I know he has faults but that is why he needs friends he can trust. People he can go to when he needs them. Not friends who at the drop of a hat are willing to turn him in as a drastic measure to sober him up. He knows his life is a mess and he doesn't need to have a permanent record to realize that."

"Hey, sitting right here you know. I can hear you." Gregory House stated. He did not like that he was being completely ignored.

"No one extended an invitation for you to join the conversation so I suggest you butt out," Victoria growled at him. Great now he was in trouble. House rolled his eyes but remained silent. He did enjoy a good sparring show, and James and Victoria were fun to watch.

"I am still a friend that he can come and talk to," James tried to reason.

"Really? Because thanks to you there is actual evidence to the contrary." Victoria breathed and tried to remember some relaxation tips that she kept reading in those useless magazines, but for some reason they were escaping her at the moment. "I know that you are a good person, and for some reason you have a need to fix everything, but this not one of your 'Do It Yourself' kind of projects. I would hate to think of you as a snitch Jimmy but you leave me no choice. I have no reason to trust you now. A fact that your patients would loathe to know, don't give me a reason to tell them."

"What exactly are you saying?" Wilson questioned, his voice shaky.

"You are a smart guy, I don't think I will have to spell it out for you," Victoria stated with a menacing tone.

"I get what you are saying Vikki. I didn't think you would resort to threats, I try to think only Gregory resorts to that type of behavior," James said in a cold tone offended at the threat coming from Victoria.

"I am a House, it's what we do," Victoria smiled. "Now as for you Greg," she began. House threw his hands up in mock defense and innocence.

"Please officer take pity on me I swear I didn't do it, it was the man with six fingers, I was dead at the time," he whined.

"Yes, you are hilarious. I am not going to scold you, mainly because it will be the equivalent of talking to a brick wall, but I will tell you this: If you ever get arrested for being so careless, thoughtless, and so full of damn pride again, I will tell dad and mom, and I will let you rot in jail. Are we clear?" Her tone left no room for interpretation. She wasn't asking a question but stating a fact and House was well aware of this, their father used to use that same tone with him as well. He refused to answer however, and Victoria knew to take this as his acquiescence. She nodded her head in understanding and was about to move on to a lighter more fun topic when the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy walked in and began to harass Dr. House.

"I have been getting complaints of noise in here House so you are going to need to keep it down or-" it was then that she noticed Victoria.

"Hello Lisa, pleasure as always," Victoria grinned with mischievous smile.

AN: The six fingered reference is to "The Princess Bride" and 'I was dead at the time' came from Eddie Izzard's "Dress To Kill".
