Thirteen wasn't sure she'd still have her job tomorrow, but she had to do this. Cuddy could not take in that patient no matter how hard she tried. The kid would be submitted to a life full of freaking needles, and he had a fear involved needles, therefore torturing him. She took a deep breath and entered Cuddy's office.
Cuddy was finishing a phone call. "…Yes, yes. We don't know his age, but- sure I'll call you back." She hung up and turned to Thirteen. "Dr. Hadley, what can I help you with?" Thirteen took another deep breath and said,
"I know what you have in mind for this new patient, and it just won't work."
Cuddy looked surprised, and said, "I'm not sure you understand, this would benefit the patient. His phobia-" Thirteen finished the sentence for her.
"Would torment him with a doctor in his family. All we do is practically work with needles. Imagine what he would do if you even tried to get him help. He would set the freaking house on fire!" Thirteen gave this a minute to sink in, and then added, "and how are you going to teach him English in a week before he enrolls in school?"
Cuddy shot back, " I could have things arranged that he would have more time to figure it out, unlike some people I know would. Now, if you excuse me, I have things to arrange. Good day, Dr. Hadley. You are dismissed."
Thirteen silently walked out of Cuddy's office, when she bumped into House. He said to her, "Go to the patient's office and see if you can get something, at least his name." and continued his way to Cuddy's office without a word. He looked angry.
Thirteen listened to House and headed to the patient's ward. What she saw shocked her beyond words.
Ha ha! You have a cliffhanger! Sux for you! Oh, I'll save you with another chapter… possibly in an hour? Enjoy hanging for your life until I save you!
