STILL DON'T OWN ANYTHING =]
Chapter Two: Only One Person To Ask.
Cameron walked into the Diagnostics office with a handful of paperwork. She sat agressively on House's swivel chair, and began sorting through the files, without a word.
Thirteen, Kutner, Foreman and Taub were all in the next room, watching her.
"Cameron?" Foreman was the first to break the silence.
"Yup." Her reply was short and not happy.
"What's going on? You are not meant to be doing House's files, there's patients in the ER, and in the Clinic. What's up?"
"Nothing." Cameron sighed. Foreman left the other three doctors and entered the office Cameron has secluded herself in. "Sorry, I just... it's Cuddy. I just don't want to face her right now."
Thriteen was trying really hard to hear what Cameron was saying, but the only word she could make out was 'Cuddy'. That's odd. Cuddy isn't making Cameron do House's files, what else could she be talking about?
Thirteen decided it was best not to speculate until she got the full story. As Foremen came back into their room, Taub and Kutner began bouncing ideas off him. Thirteen notioned towards Cameron with her head, and Foreman gave a small nod, she assumed this meant that she had permission to go talk to Cameron.
"Hey." She sounded laid back, the calm tone having an almost immediate impact on Cameron.
"Hi."
"Are you okay? You sounded pretty edgy earlier."
"Yeah, um... I'm fine." Cameron gave a small but fake smile. Thriteen felt she wasn't going to get anything unless she pushed, she really wanted to know what was wrong. Why do I need to know? Do I care about her? I guess I do, but I care about everyone... Why am I trying so hard?
"Did Cuddy do something?"
"No, no. Well..? No."
"Okay then. Well if you want to talk about something..." Thirteen coudn't believe what she was saying. What the hell Remy? You trying to suck up now? What the hell? Do I even like her? Oh my God. I have to go see Cuddy.
So Thirteen told Foreman she had clinic duty, as the three guys ran bloods, did and MRI and an LP.
She dashed off to the clinic, hoping to run into the leggy Dean of Medicine.
"Dr. Cuddy!" Thriteen had spotted her near the nurses station.
"Yes? If you want to know where House is he's probably sulking because I confiscated his gameboy." She gave a small smile and raised her eyebrows in question.
"Uh no, I just, can I talk to you priveatly?"
"Um, okay, sure." Cuddy exused herself from the conversation with a nurse and headed towards her office. "What's on your mind?"
Cuddy entered and motioned towards the couch. She hoped a more casual setting would make it easier for the young doctor to talk to her.
"Have you spoken to Cameron recently?" Remy blurted out before thinking. Maybe being straight forward is the best option anyway.
"Uh, not since this morning... why?" Cuddy was getting sightly inquisistive. Her look was curious and her blue eyes were intent on Thirteen.
Thirteen locked eyes woth her boss, trying to see what they said about her. Thirteen knew there was something Lisa was hiding, but she couldn't get what it was.
"Lisa, we've been friends for a few months now, I know when you're hiding something."
At this, Cuddy blushed slightly. She knew she couldn't tell what she knew about Allison Cameron, especially seeing as it concerned the woman before her.
"Remy, if I were hiding something and I were able to tell you, I would. But this is private."
"Is it about Cameron?"
"Why are you so concerned about her suddenly? I know she is my friend, but you have never really spent any time with her."
"She was 'checking me out' this morning." Remy said with a blank expression. She didn't know how her friend would react.
Lisa tried extreamely hard not to smile, but she failed.
"Why are you smiling? Lisa, what's going on?" Remy's eye's widened as her curiosity rose.
"I can't tell you. Now, what did you want to know about Cameron? You did come here for a reason and I assume it wasn't a gossip session."
"No, I, she, well she was a bit flustered and jumpy when she came in."
"Came in?"
"Yeah, she's in House's office now... doing his files." Remy was surprised Cuddy didn't know.
"And she was speaking to Foreman and she mentioned your name. So I wanted to know what's up."
Lisa was deep in thought. She began sucking the inside of her cheeks, without knowing it.
"Excuse me, I have to go now. If there's nothing else you wanted to disuss?"
"You didn't really answer my question, but, okay..."
"Okay, Remy, if you want to know something about Allison Cameron, there's only one person you can ask."
Remy felt very thankful that Lisa was about to give her a helpful name. "Who?"
"Allison Cameron."
With that, she left.
