"House, how could you bring the wrong baby?" Wilson yelled as he put the car in gear. We had searched the parking lot for Kid with no luck. "I don't even know where to drive. Where does one look for a lost baby?"
"Wilson, yell later. Drive now. Police station, stat!"
"Aren't you going to call Cuddy?" Wilson's hands were holding a death grip on the steering wheel and his eyes bugged out as he stared at the road.
"Do you think I am absolutely insane?" I asked. "Don't answer that. Police first, Cuddy later."
"They will want to know who the baby's parents are you know House. Eventually Cuddy will find out."
"Eventually. As in the future. Eyes on the road, man! You almost hit that guy."
The police station was packed with stinking, blabbering people. I walked up to one of the policemen, a short, squat, bald man.
"I'd like to report a missing child," I said simply. "Small, an infant. Six months."
The guy stared at me. I stared back. "Looks like you got a kid right there mister," he pointed to Kid's coat twin.
"No, see, this baby isn't mine. She belongs to this woman I met at the mall…."
"Look. Dude. I don't have time for jokes today," Sergeant Squat said. He twirled his mustache in an uppity way.
"I'm not joking."
"He's not joking," Wilson almost screamed.
"Yea, yea. So they all say. Get outta here mister, we got a big criminal comin' in soon," he looked down at his grubby watch. "'Bout fifteen minutes. See ya!"
I felt like snapping his fat neck.
Wilson and I headed out. I took out my cell.
"It was nice knowing you, Wilson," I said. We shook hands solemnly.
"Its been a good life over all," Wilson quipped. "You've been an interesting friend."
I dialed.
"Hello, Cuddy. There's been a bit of a mix up."
"House, what are you talking about."
"Well, see, we were at the mall and…."
"HOUSE, what's going on?"
"We lost Kid."
"YOU WHAT?!?!" I held the phone away from my ear. "GREGORY HOUSE I WILL KILL YOU! THIS HAD BETTER BE A JOKE! YOU WILL DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS! WILSON, YOU TOO, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!"
Wilson cringed.
"Where are you House? Tell me. Right. Now."
