Me: See Gillian's ok
Cal: You didn't have it in you to do something horrible like hurt Gillian…
Me: No I didn't and you should be glad
Cal: I am
Me: Anyway in this chappie Cal, House, and Wilson go out for drinks …giggle…giggle
Cal: Well the author of this story still doesn't own me, Lie to Me or House so yeah, on with the show!
The next day Cal only left Gillian to got to the bathroom and even then he was reluctant to leave. Jason was doing better and could talk now which was a good thing. Gillian had tried on countless occasions to get Cal to go and eat but he refused to leave her side. Then at 7pm House and Wilson walked in, Gillian and Cal were sleeping. Gently House poked Cal with the end of his cane.
"Hey me and Wilson are going for drinks. Wanna come?"
Tiredly Cal looked at House.
"I don't wanna leave her."
"She'll be fine, she's sleeping. Besides you need to eat."
"Fine lemme grab my coat."
"Cal when was the last time you shaved?"
"I dunno why?"
"Do it as soon as you can, you're starting to look like me."
Cal smiled then followed House and Wilson to Wilson's car.
"Wait, why don't we take the shuttle the FBI got us. Seeing as we'll most likely be drunk to our eyelids by the end of tonight."
"Fine hurry up and call him, I need a good drink."
Cal called the shuttle and House told the driver where to go.
"So does this place have anything good?"
House looked at Wilson wickedly.
"Order us some drinks Wilson."
"What do you want?"
"Get something strong. Tell the bartender Gregory House sent you, and get another one for Cal."
Wilson left then came back with drinks for all of them and gave one to Cal who in turn took a drink.
"What is this?"
"That is called the House Special."
"You have a drink named after you?"
"The bartender started to memorize my order so we shortened it the the House Special."
"It's good."
Cal was right, by the end of the night they could barely walk a few steps without falling. They were quite a funny group, a criple, an oncologist, and a British human lie detector all stumbling to the shuttle. The driver took one look at them, chuckled, then started driving to the hospital.
For some reason Cuddy could not explain she had stayed late again. It was 11pm and she was exhausted, so she turned her lights off and headed downstairs. As she was walking out the door she noticed House, Cal and Wilson stumbling towards her.
"Y'know sumthin' Lisa? You're beautiful!"
"Oi! Didja hear that Wilson? Greg'ry 'ere is 'n luv!"
"Wilson!"
"Yes ma'am?"
"I thought I told you to make sure House and Cal behave!"
Cuddy was trying to hide her embarrassment by yelling at Wilson.
"Op, there it is. You've got 'er blushin' Greg!"
"Wilson help me get these two inside."
"Of course m'lady."
Wilson attempted to make his way closer to Cal but instead tripped over his own feet. The event was funny enough to make anyone laugh and in their drunken state House and Cal doubled over with laughter. Cuddy sighed and pulled out her phone, both Loker and Torres had given her their numbers just in case she needed them and she needed them now.
"Hello?"
"Ria, it's me Lisa Cuddy. I need you at the hospital as soon as possible and bring Eli with you."
"Is Gillian ok?"
"Yeah, she's great, but House took Wilson and Cal drinking. I need your help getting them in the hospital."
"Wait Cal's drunk?"
"Yes."
"Eli! Get dressed and bring a camera!"
"You're sharing a room with Eli? I thought you guys had separate rooms."
"Yeah, well, uh, what can I say, he's charming. Anyways we'll be there soon."
A few minutes later Ria and Eli arrived. They got out of the shuttle and went over to Lisa. During the time it took Ria and Eli to get there Wilson had tripped 3 more times, sending House and Cal into fits of laughter each time.
"Quick, get the camera Eli, we are so not going to let Cal live this down."
At the sound of Ria's voice Cal looked up.
"Good God Ria! What didju do to the poor fellow? Eli looks absolutely exhausted!"
"Can't you tell Cal? They were hittin' it off when that beaut of a lady called 'em over 'ere!"
Eli and Ria blushed a deep red.
"Eli I think we should just settle for telling everyone about Cal being drunk. No one needs to hear what was just said."
"Agreed."
"Uh, Eli do you mind helping Cal in and back into Gillian's room? Ria could you get Wilson and put him in his office and then I'll put House in my office."
Eli went up to Cal and swung his right arm around his shoulders then proceeded to half drag/half carry Cal to Gillian's room. When they were about half way there Cal fell asleep.
"Great."
Eli muttered to himself, since up until now Cal was at least offering a little help. Now Eli was left to drag Cal all by himself to Gillian's room. After what seemed like forever to Eli they finally made it to Gilian's room. Carefully Eli put Cal in the recliner next to Gillian's bed then left. Ria and Cuddy were waiting for him.
"What took you so long? We were done 20 minutes ago, and House is a cripple."
"Yeah well Cal fell asleep about half way there so I had to drag him the rest of the way."
Ria laughed then went over to Eli's side, and Eli snaked an arm around her waist.
"I never thought I'd see Cal drunk. He didn't even get drunk at his wedding. I have to admit it was kind of funny."
"Yeah well your boss is still just as perceptive when he's drunk as when he's sober."
"I for one hope that they'll forget what they said. If I've learned anything about Cal it's that he will definitely not let us live down how you had me completely exhausted."
Eli was hoping with all of his heart that Cal would have no recollection of what he had said, things between him and Ria had been in no way planned, although Eli hoped something along the same lines would be planned in the near future.
