A/N – ok…so I am going to be posting short chapters during the Christmas break, because I don't have lots of free time, and I don't want you to wait forever for another chapter :)
Disclaimer – I do not own House M.D. It all belongs to David Shore and Fox.
~Chapter 2~
Cuddy walked through the halls of PPTH with determination. She was going to find House. As strange as it sounds, no one seems to know where he went after she had called him to her office. She had to admit…it wasn't important, but that doesn't mean House could ignore her like that. Cuddy sighed as she came closer to his empty office. She had come back to his office frequently trying to find out where he may be. Doctors waved a "Hello" as she wandered through the hallways. She gave them all the same, small nod – not really paying attention to who she was smiling at. Cuddy went back to her office, tired of trying to keep track of the famous Diagnostician. Where could he be? She wondered as she sat down in her large, black office chair. Leaning forward, resting her elbows on her desk and her head into her delicate hands, she remembered the one place she hadn't yet looked. Cuddy closed her eyes for a few moments before standing up, and walked out of her office.
House lay down on his back looking up at the clouds. The spinning of his cane above his head made a soft whooshing sound, and his heartbeat could be faintly heard. Sure is quiet out here…maybe I should come here more often, and no one has thought to look for me up here… He thought to himself as he continued spinning his cane. Spoke too soon… He noted as he heard the thick metal door slowly open, followed by the staccato - click, click, click - coming from an all too familiar pair of high heels. "What do you want, I'm busy" House retorted as he carried on with what he was doing. "You have clinic duty, I am paying you to do your job…lying on the roof is not doing your job" Cuddy spat back at him in anger. House lowered his cane to the floor beside him and looked up at Cuddy, not able to fully see her face as the wind was blowing her soft curls everywhere. "Fine" House slowly got up and limped past Cuddy as she just stood there in shock.
"Dr. House signed in at 10:00am." House informed the head nurse, who was busy with piles of paperwork. When she looked up from the papers, she saw him opening the door leading to Exam Room 1.
