Adam Pierson finally arrived in Boston, he knew he should probably try and have a face to face with the DA's office but that could wait for a little while longer, best to go and see how his client was holding up. When he got to her apartment he knocked on the door, after not getting a response he knocked again, "Leah, it's Adam, are you in?" he waited a few minutes more and put his ear close to the door. He could hear her stereo. His gut instinct was telling him that something wasn't right. "Leah, answer me please." He said as he heard a set of footsteps approaching him.

"Who are you?"

"Adam Pierson, her lawyer, you?"

"Nigel Townsend, a co-worker of Leah's. She hasn't been answering her phone or her cell, something seems off."

"Yeah, know the number of her super so we can get in?"

"I can do one better. I have a key to her place, ever since her last trip to the hospital a few years back." Nigel said as he dug out the key and placed it in the lock.

When the two of them entered the apartment they could tell things were off. The could hear Leah's phone ringing and then heard the answering machine pick up as they saw her lying on the floor.

"Please leave a message at the sound of the beep"

"Leah, it's your father pick up. We need to talk." Said a voice the Pierson knew as House.

Nigel rushed to her while Adam got out his cell phone and dialed 911. "She's barely got a pulse. What in the bloody hell happened?"

"Guess is as good is mine."

"There's no pill bottles anywhere which is a good sign."

"The ambulance is on it's way."

"Leah luv, come on stay with us here." Said Nigel as Adam's cell phone went off.

"Pierson, a little busy at the moment Doc. Yes, I know, look just meet us at Boston General." Said Adam as he then ended the call just as the paramedics came in.

"Any idea on what happened?"

"None, but just to warn you her father's going to be meeting us at the hospital."

"Who's her father?"

"Gregory House."

"Man, we're in for it." Said the first EMT as the second medic gave him a questioning look.

"I'll tell you later, let's just get her to the hospital."

House was able to give Wilson the slip after getting Leah's address and Wilson getting a call from Jersey about one of his patients, House thought he'd try calling to Leah first before heading over to her apartment. After five rings Leah's answering machine picked up "Please leave a message at the sound of the beep."

"Leah, it's your father, pick up," he said waiting a few seconds, "We need to talk." He said with a sigh as he then disconnected. He really couldn't blame her for not answering if she were in, he hadn't made things easy for her the last time she had come to visit, which had caused their rift until about this time last year.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uncle Jimmy called me and told me what had happened."

"So now you know, you don't need to be here."

"Dad, you're going to need someone to help you during your recovery."

"I don't need your help, you weren't there when it happened."

"Maybe I would have if Stacy would have called and told me that you were in the hospital in the first place!"

"Sure you would have, and why should I believe that Stacy didn't call you?"

"Because I had to find out from one of mom's old friends who for some reason still keeps tabs on you and then about three hours later I get a phone call from Jimmy telling me the same thing! That's how! I can ask the same thing of you what makes you think that I wouldn't have come running to be by your side? I would have bent over backwards a lot more than you would have. You don't want me here? Fine. I guess it's what you're good at." Said Leah as she made her way out of her father's hospital room, stopping briefly to give a nod to her uncle and say, "Just try and make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid huh? You seem to be the only one to get through to him. I'll see you around. I have a flight to catch."

"Leah wait-" said Wilson trying to stop her. Wilson shot House a deadly glare and tried to go after Leah.

"Leah, would you please wait up!" said Wilson as he raced to catch up with her.

"What?"

"Even though your father's acting like a complete and total jackass right now he does need you."

"How do you figure?"

"Stacy's left him."

"That's not my problem. Dad's made his bed and he can sleep in it."

"Okay, I'll grant you that point, but can you tell me what you meant by him not bending over backward like you did to come and see him."

"I really don't want to get into all the details but let's just say I've given up law enforcement and I'm moving on to become an ME. They had called dad when a case I was on with my partner went south and Dad never showed. Ask him. I'll stay in touch with you Jimmy. I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself." She said as she then walked away.

House finally decided after a couple minutes of thinking to try Pierson again just in case Leah was staying somewhere other than her apartment. When Pierson picked up he was rather on the testy side and told House to meet him at Boston General if he wanted to know what was going on. "Great, just great." Said House to himself as he started to make his way to the lobby of the hotel. He was nearly out the door when he got cornered by Cameron.

"House, there you are, we've been looking all over for you!"

"No, from the looks of things namely you were the only that's looking for me and you didn't see me." He said as he hobbled as fast as he could to the door and then yelled "Taxi!" as he saw one pull up. He though he was safe and that Cameron would get the hint, but it just wasn't his day. She had slid in right next to him. He sent her a glare, which she returned. "So, care to tell me what's going on?" she asked sweetly. House ignored her and said to the cabbie, "Boston General as fast as you can."

"House, is it your leg? Are you in more pain than you normally are?"

"It's not my leg."

"Then what is it?" she asked. She waited a few minutes and when House didn't reply she asked, "Is it your daughter?" House visibly flinched when she said that.

"Wilson told you didn't he?"

"No, I- I asked Chase and Foreman about why you really didn't care for Boston and they said that before you hired me there was a rumor going round that you had a daughter very close to our age. Is she sick?"

"That I don't know. You happen to read this morning's paper?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do- you mean?" Cameron asked her eyes going wide in disbelief

"Yeah, she's the one accused of murder, and don't ask me if she actually did it."

"My only question is why we're headed to Boston General?"

"Guess is as good as mine. I called her lawyer and he said to meet him there.
