"So that's it in a nutshell then?" Lisa said looking between the two men in front of her with tears in her eyes. "You think I might be dying because I tried to kill myself?" she let out strangled laugh, "You two have got to be insane!" she was about to sit up when House spoke yet again.

"Believe me, I know that I'm insane," he said swinging his cane in the air as if it were a sport, "You though, I have my doubts about." He said pointedly at Chase, "I think he might be, but I haven't really done any checking lately." Lisa let out sigh and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You are crazy," she said quietly.

"We tested for brain cancer, it tested negative, and you really shouldn't worry about dying at this point." Chase said folding his hands in his lap in front of him.

"I thought House just said-,"

"Don't take anything House says to face value," Chase interrupted her.

"Yeah, because House likes to scare pretty little gun shot victims," House said remarked sarcastically.

"Is he always like that?" she asked after a brief moment of silence had passed between the small group of people.

"Only when he's awake." Lisa smiled at the blonde man, 'I actually like him.'

"So, she has like no family at all?" Cameron asked looking perplexed at Cuddy. She tossed her hair behind her shoulder and leafed through the file that sat in her lap once again.

"Her father died almost two years ago, her brother died in a car bombing when he was twelve. Her mother remarried then was killed in a break in last year." Dr Cuddy sighed; they were getting no where with this.

"She doesn't have a boyfriend?" Cameron was shocked, she had seen the girl, and any guy would have been tripping over themselves to go out with her, why didn't she at least have a hopeful hookup. Or more then just friends without realizing it, "Not even a close friend that could give us some information?"

"The file says that she went missing one week before the home invasion and death of her mother and step father, no one had even heard from her until she came in with a gun shot wound." Both Cameron and Cuddy looked at each other, surprised.

"If she had been missing for so long, what was she doing in the middle of a town square?" Cameron asked looking down once again at the photo of Lisa Reisert that was taped on a page in the front of the file.

"I'm not sure, maybe she was running away from something when she went missing," Dr Cuddy shrugged and ran a hand through her hair. "Maybe she had been kidnapped, and then found some way to escape, the kidnapper caught up with her and decided to do her off and be done with it."

"Well, that would make sense," Cameron took a sip of her coffee, "I talked to one of the nurses that were treating her and they said that when she arrived it was almost like she hadn't seen another human being in months. When she was offered food, she acted as if someone was going to reach and take it away because they felt like it."

"It's sad that people do things like that these days, maybe we should talk to one of the nurses?" Cuddy offered.

"We could, no matter what we do; House isn't going to be happy that we didn't find a family member to terrorize."

"House would have been upset even if we had found a family member, he would probably would have said something along the lines of, 'You don't know how torture people properly!'"

They both laughed as they gathered their papers and files and stood to leave the office.

"Ma'am, can you explain what you mean when you say that she seemed as if she hadn't seen another human being in months?" Cameron asked the nervous looking nurse that sat in front of her. The lady crossed her legs and folded her hands in her lap before she spoke.

"She just seemed in utter shock when she saw me, when I would check on her at night her eyes would, would, would widen in fear. It was as if she afraid of what would happen if she spoke to any of us, when we would feed her, she was almost deathly terrified of what would happen if she ate it."

"Do you have… any idea why?"

"She kept mentioning someone named Jackson in her sleep. I came in once to check on her and she mumbling something about Jackson hurting her if she spoke to any one, to tell you the truth, it scared the hell out of me."

"When she was mumbling, did she ever mention why?" the nurse shook her head and looked at her lap.

"No, she just kept mumbling about how Jackson was going to hurt her if she didn't get back in her room,"

"Thank you, you can go if you would like." The nurse nodded and stood to leave. Cameron waited until the nurse had left the room before she spoke again to Cuddy, "What do you think, Stockholm syndrome?"

"I don't know if I believe the nurse, she seemed just fine when she talked to House."

"Didn't you hear Chase?" Cameron exclaimed, "He said that she was mumbling something of a certain Jackson Ripner. She didn't seem stable then, one of the doctors said that she would seem stable one moment and then screaming because Jackson Ripner was going to hurt her if she didn't get back the next."

"There has to something," Cuddy said, "I don't believe that this is simply something mental. I think that it may have something to do with it, but I don't think that it is the only reason for her hallucinations."

"Maybe we should look into this Jackson Ripner guy and see what we can find."
