Chapter 23-Stabbed In The Back

House

"Do we have any other cases besides Elena's?" I asked my team. Thirteen handed me a file and I looked at it. "On second thought I take it back. Elena is of utmost importance to me because she's with Wilson."

Elena laughed, "Thanks House, I think."

I reached for a needle and loaded it with two milligrams Diazepam. "Elena," I said, "I'm going to see if something will work: I'm going to put some Diazepam in your back to see if that'll help."

"Where in her back are you injecting that?" Wilson asked as I ran my fingers gently over the skin on Elena's back to find the base of her spine.

"Into her spine to see if I can fix the problem at it's source. Eyes on Wilson, Elena." I put a topical anesthetic at the base of her spine after I found where I wanted the needle to go in and waited. Her skin did not tingle in fear when I touched her. I put my left hand on her ankles to hold them.

She just looked at me but didn't look afraid. Thirteen and Cameron looked at me like I was crazy while Chase and Taub looked amazed. "The ankles are a bit much," she said, "that goes from restraining your best friend's girl to probably a few innuendos."

"I do enjoy euphemisms," I said slyly.

"Just stick in the damn needle House," she said and I smirked.

Wilson stroked her hair as she looked at him. "I love you Elena Wilson," he said before he kissed her hair and she smiled. "Squeeze my hand. Good job, love."

I took the opportunity to plunge my syringe into her back and push down on the cap and then pulled it out. I looked at the faces of my team; none of their expressions had changed.

"Wait," Thirteen spoke after an awkward silence, "did Wilson just say Elena Wilson? I thought your last name was Victor."

"I'll explain soon," Elena said and smiled. I sat her up, felt the nodes on her neck, and put her in Wilson's arms and he cradled her.

"Did you feel that needle?" Cameron asked Elena, amazed.

"No."

"Good God you're tough," Chase told Elena.

"That's what she said," I called out and smiled. No one laughed. "You set yourself up for that Chase c'mon."

"Bollocks." I smirked; I clearly had won that one.

"Thirteen, now hand me that other case file since I just solved the last one. Hopefully this one will be more interesting," she handed me the blue file. I opened it and looked it over.


I love writing in House's POV- he's so perfectly sassy! More coming!
