Twenty minutes later House and Cameron were at Boston General. "Sir! Sir, how can I-" said a front desk nurse as House then stopped and said, "Dr. Gregory House and my colleague Dr. Allison Cameron. I was called saying a patient of mine was brought in. Her name is Leah Rysten."

"Let me see. E.R. exam room two."

"Thanks."

When the two of them got there they quickly went to work. Just as House was about to draw some blood the curtain swung back to reveal two police officers, one male and one female.

"Step away from her, the both of you."

"I'm her doctor, so I can't. Hippocratic oath and all."

"We also heard that you're her father." Said the woman.

"Please, like I'm really going to kill her. I know that she's a murder suspect. If you really want her to stand trial, I'm your best bet. My track record for saving patients with unknown illnesses or poisons is good."

"It could have been a suicide attempt gone bad."

"No, she did not try to commit suicide. So back off and let me do my work blondie."

"Listen here you-" said Lu as House raised his can and pointed it threateningly at her.

"Lu, back off and let the man do his work. We'll let the ethics of him treating her slide."

"Wise man." Said House as he watched Woody pull Lu out of the room.

"Go over her charts again." Said House as he heard footsteps yet again. "I swear I'll beat the next person who tries to stop me from treating this woman."

"I'm Nigel Townsend, friend of the patient and fellow co-worker. Her lawyer and I were the ones who found her."

"Okay," said House waving him in and then saying, "Anything unusual at her apartment?"

"No that we could see."

"Okay, I'm guessing that she had blood drawn for a tox screen when she was booked, that show anything that raised some flags?"

"Her BAC was low and normal tox screen was clean," Nigel said trailing off.

"But you didn't check for any major poisons," said House as he looked at Cameron.

"Call pretty boy and the car thief, they need to do a little recon."

"House, you want to get charged as well!" said Cameron in disbelief.

"Easy luv, I can get those two in no problem. One of the crime scene guys owes me a favor. I'm guessing you want anything and everything."

"Yeah. Good, Chase you and Foreman need to head down to an apartment on Pearl Street. You'll find where you need to go when you get there. I don't care! Just get there." Said House as he hung up his phone and took one vial of blood and handed it to Cameron, "Run this down to the lab here, run a major tox screen and known viruses test. I don't care if you have to do it yourself or use your feminine wiles just get it done, and you call me if you find anything." Said House pointing a finger in Nigel's direction.

"Yes sir," said Nigel jauntily saluting him and leaving. Adam Pierson arrived seconds later, "How is she?"

"As far as I can tell right now, she's stable, unless who or whatever did this to her decides to play hardball, she may not be out of the woods yet."

(15 minutes later) "I can't believe House is making us do this!" said Foreman.

"He sounded pretty pissed off, not like I've ever heard him before, so I wasn't about to tell him no. How much long- well here we are." Said Chase as he saw a few squad cars and a tall gangly man with long black hair leaning against a motorbike. When the two of them exited the car the man approached them.

"Dr. Nigel Townsend, Boston ME's office. Something tells me pretty boy and car thief are not your real names."

"Robert Chase, Eric Forman" said Eric making the introductions.

"If you two gents'll follow me upstairs we can get this started."

"Okay, so who's the name of the person who lives here?" asked Robert when the entered the apartment that Nigel let them into.

"Leah Rysten. Your boss said he was her doctor."

'Well first thing I see that we can grab is that bowl of soup and the bottle of water." Said Chase as Foreman headed towards the bathroom.

"I've got some allergy meds, pain killers and vitamins, might as well not chance anything. We'll tackle the bedroom next." Said Foreman as he returned. Nigel sat back and watched quite amused, these two seemed to be pros at this, and he was a bit afraid to ask why. "I see our boys in blue haven't grabbed Lil's computer yes, so I'll take that into our evidence hold. Let the others come to us on that one." Nigel said as he followed Foreman and Chase to Leah's bedroom.

"Nothing of note on the nightstands." Said Chase.

"Nothing hiding under the bed, uh take that back a photo album." Said Foreman as he quickly flipped through it when a photo caught his attention. As he saw out of the corner of his eye Chase heading towards the huge dresser.

"Uh, Chase let me handle the rummaging through of her clothes."

"Why's that?"

"Because House would beat you within an inch of your life and senseless that's why."

"Now, why would he do that?" questioned Nigel.

"Because something tells me that Leah's either our Boss's daughter or nice, but from the picture my money's on daughter." Said Foreman and he showed the photo to Nigel and Chase of Leah and House together pre-infarction.

"Boys, maybe I should do the digging." Came a voice that Nigel knew all too well.

"Jordan! Give us all coronaries luv."

"If your boss is as friendly as you're portraying him. He'd beat the three of you senseless. Me on the other hand, probably not."

"She's got a point there." Said Foreman, as the three of the men let her begin her search.

"Okay, standard stuff, diary with a key, we'll take that, but again I'll be the one opening it. Otherwise not too much else that would be suspect.

"And let's go through the rest of the rooms one more time just to be on the safe side." Said Nigel
