Sorry about the long update, my computer got a virus and all my files had to be wiped so I lost the last chapter I wrote. This isn't really a chapter it's more to fill up the space, but I do have the next chapter written I'm just not sure if I ended it in the right place. I should be up some time next week anyway. Enjoy :) (Sorry if they're ooc)
Foreman, Thirteen and Taub sat in an empty hospital room- none of them had been able to think properly since the crash.
"Where's House" Taub is the first to speak and as he does so he moves to get himself a coffee, gesturing to the others to ask if they want any. They both shake their heads.
"I haven't seen him all day" Thirteen says as she turns over the page of her magazine. They have been excused from the case for the past few days, aside from a few differential diagnosis's and they are starting to feel the numbness that fills their minds when work can't push it away. The fact that they are in Las Vegas hasn't helped them any, Foreman and Taub were quickly assured by Thirteen that there was nothing of interest to do around here; they were in the middle of no where. "How are Chase and Cameron doing?"
"They're ok, I think. Cameron was asleep when I last checked on them. Chase seemed pretty out of it" Foreman sighs "It's probably for the best; I doubt they want to be around each other. I can't believe House made them transfer here and then stuck them in the same room."
"Have they figured out what happened yet?" Taub returned to his seat with his coffee.
"Cameron crashed the car- no one knows why, nobody was hurt or even really involved apart from her and Chase, so there isn't going to be an investigation. Chase says they were fighting." Foreman looks around for something to do.
"I feel so bad for them, if House hadn't made them go together…" Thirteen's voice trails off "When do you think they'll be able to work again? It's been two, nearly three days since the accident."
"So… Do we like Cameron?" Taub asks uncertainly.
"I'm not getting dragged into their problems what happened between her and Chase is between her and Chase." Foreman gets up to retrieve a discarded paper from a table in the corner of the room, superiority emanating from him. "And I don't know when they can work again but the sooner the better."
"Yeah but I've never really worked with her, I don't know if I like her. I have, however worked with Chase; I like him and I saw what it did to him when she left." Taub sipped his coffee but quickly withdrew, with a burnt tongue.
"I've worked with both of them, they're both my friends, I don't think we should get involved." Thirteen adds.
"Agreed" Foreman flicks to the crossword in the news paper, thinking about how Chase would be completing it if he were here.
"Fine but if Chase gets annoyed with us for being all friendly with her I will blame you" Taub moans
"Chase isn't that petty" Thirteen abandons the magazine and begins to drum her fingers on the table.
"And you don't have to do what we do Taub, you can think for yourself." Foreman's tone is condescending but Taub has known him long enough to know that it's just his normal voice.
"Fine. I'll stay out of it." Taub complies.
Sorry short chapter I know and nothing really happened but I thought some things needed more explaining. I don't know if that helped but Oh well. Next Chapter should be up soon :)
