A/N: This is the House Gibbs confrontation, they're hard characters to mix considering their highly opposite personalities, but here it is anyways. Hope you enjoy...

Disclaimer: Two shows both alike in dignity, on fair TV where we lay our scene, neither of which belong to me...

Chapter 7

Gibbs and the team were up early and at the hospital at 0700. They were hardly through the door when they were jumped on by a certain Dr. Wilson. He started telling them about how House's life had been threatened. He was talking so fast that no one could understand what he was saying. No one that is but Gibbs.

"McGee," Gibbs said quickly taking control of the situation, "grab the phone records from House's phone."

"On it boss. Do you guys have wi-fi?" McGee said. Wilson shook his head to confirm.

"Is House hear?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes," replied Wilson, "in his office."

"Ziva, watch the entrance, make sure no one gets in without being checked. Dinozzo you're with me."

Gibbs and Tony quickly made for the elevator, leaving Ziva on guard duty and McGee to get his geek on. The elevator ride seemed to take forever as Tony and Gibbs waited impatiently. Finally the doors opened with a bing and Gibbs and Tony rushed out.

They moved down the hall at a jog and soon found themselves in front of a room whose door read, "Greggory House M.D."

Gibbs and Tony opened the door to see House behind his desk, bouncing a ball off the wall and catching it. Gibbs certainly had never seen a doctor like him ever before. He wore no coat like the other doctors, his face was dirty and unshaved, and his desk was a cluttered mess. A cane sat by his desk, heavily used.

House did not turn to greet his visitors but kept on bouncing the ball off the wall.

"Special Agent Gibbs, NCIS," said Gibbs showing his badge.

House stopped bouncing the ball and looked at his guests. His eyes quickly scanning the two. One of the agents looked in his upper 30's but was handsome for his age. He was tall and well built but was clearly not in charge. The other agent, Gibbs, was a very interesting character indeed. He was older but it worked for him. It added a certain amount of authority to appearance. His face was solid and unchanging and his eyes seemed to burn holes into House's body. However, House is not one to stand down to anyone and certainly does not respect authority very much.

"Don't you people ever knock?" asked House sarcastically.

Gibbs ignored the question. "We're here to make sure you're safe."

"I assume Wilson told you?"

Gibbs nodded. House got up.

"How about I don't work on the case, problem solved." he said not really serious.

"You do your job, we'll do ours." said Gibbs moving to the door, "find out what's wrong with the guy and we'll make sure you come out with no bullet holes."

"Okay so I figure out what's wrong and you do nothing, seems to be what has been going on lately anyways." replied House.

Gibbs wanted to turn and rip the man's head off. The guy seemed more like a annoying High Schooler rather than one of the world's greatest doctor. Plus he had hit a sweat spot. Gibbs did not like not having control of his own case and House was using that as a weapon. However Gibbs controlled himself and walked at the door. Leaving a smirking and satisfied House.

"Boss," said Tony stunned, "you're going to let him talk to you like that?"

"If that's what it takes to get this case solved, then yes Dinozzo."
