Thank you so much for your response on the previous chapters! I am really glad you like the story so far and I hope you will like this chapter as well. Please tell me what you think after!

After looking through the house Chase only felt more disappointed. He had thought that he would find out so much about his dad but there had not been much yet. They walked to his study now and he felt hopeful about that room though, because he was sure his dad had left traces there.

''It's all in Czech.'' Chase sighed then as he put the book aside. House took the book then and opened it.

''it wasn't written by your dad, except if your dad's name was Robert Kadlec.''

''I know, it isn't my dad's handwriting either.'' Chase said then as he took a closer look. ''What languages do you speak again?''

''Spanish, Portuguese...Hindi...Mandarin...you are the one of Czech descent here.'' House said as he looked through the small book in his hands.

''I never learned to speak any of it.'' Chase said then.

''It's a diary. Going from 1966 to somewhere in 1968.''

''I think that is when my grandparents moved to Australia, with my dad.'' Chase said then.

''Are you sure?''

''No, honestly.'' Chase said then. ''It was somewhere end 60's begin 70's.''

''Your dad grew up in a time of communism...'' House said when he suddenly opened his mouth and closed it again, looking out of the window.

''I know that face, you are having an epiphany.'' Chase said then and House shrugged.

''I don't know...why did your grandparents leave to Australia?''

''I don't know.'' Case said then.

House just shook his head and they got up then, both hungry.

There wre some restaurants near the house as they were close to the beach and they walked down the street, discussing where they were going to eat and as they had chosen and House opened the door, he suddenly looked at Chase.

''You sneaked out without the mask...''

''I think I will live. I feel good.'' Chase said then and he opened the door to the restaurant and they sat down.

''So...what now?'' House asked then.

''I don't know...call my stepmom if she ever heard about Robert Kadlec...I don't know honestly.'' Chase said then as he really had no idea what to do now and he also didn't want to pull his stepmom into this. She would only make it harder and that was the last thing he could use now.

''What is going through your head?'' House asked then as they looked at the menu.

''What I want to eat...but I am going for the three course surprise menu...'' He said then and House nodded.

''Me too.'' He said and they ordered it as the waiter took their order.

''Any allergies?'' The waiter asked.

''Does it include strawberries?'' Chase asked then.

''We have strawberry cake for desse-''

''So.''

''So what?'' The waiter asked.

''So get him another dessert.'' House said and the waiter nodded quick, feeling a little ashamed the man had lashed at him before walking away.

''Are you the only smart person from Down Under?'' House said as he rolled with his eyes.

''Well I am flattered you think I am smart.'' Chase said then.

''Well I am not stupid and if you were stupid I wouldn't have hired you.'' House responded as they got their drinks.

''What is really going through that had of yours? you look like a puppy who's toy just got taken away.''

''Well...I had thought that I would find out more about my dad but the mystery only got bigger now. We got a book in a language none of us can read and I have no idea if I want to find out now because he never told me anything-''

''You do want to find out, that is why we are here...and we will find out and if we don't find out something...it is not your fault but your dad...night have been just an asshole.'' House said then.

Chase gave him a small smile as they got their starters and they chatted about happier things during their entre.

House got the strawberry cake while Chase got some chocolate ice cream now and after dessert they went back home.

''Come on, let's go watch a movie.'' House said then as he was not sure if he wanted to let Chase search for more clues on his dad tonight, only to get disappointed again.

''No I want to look through my dad's study.'' Chase insisted then and House wanted to object but now that Chase was too stubborn to listen to him anyway.

They went back inside the study and House grabbed one of the books

''This book is property of Andrej Benik.'' House said then and Chase took it and a picture felt out and surprised he picked it up.

''That is my dad...'' He said then, looking at one of the men on the pictures. it was a little surprising because he hardly recognized him as he was so young in the picture.

He turned it around and frowned then.

''Andrej and Robert?'' He said then and he turned it around again.

''But that is my dad.''

''Is Andrej his second name?'' House asked then.

''No, his full name is Rowan Chase.'' Chase said as he held the picture in his hands. He kept looking at his dad. How old was his dad here...eighteen? Twenty maybe? He was smiling and that was what made Chase so surprised. He was genuinely smiling like Chase had never seen him do before.

''I never saw him smiling like this.'' Robert said then and House felt bad for him, bad that his dad had been such an ass.

''Maybe he changed his name when he got here.''

''Andrej Benik...'' Chase just whispered as he looked at the picture again.

''Come on, time to go to bed.'' House said then as he saw Chase was getting tired, maybe because of all the emotions. He made sure that Chase took all his medication and hoped that he would go to sleep even after all the discoveries they had done because Chase needed his rest to get better.

''Want to sleep in the bed?'' House asked then.

''No...I am fine on the couch.'' Chase said then and House nodded, wanted to ask first because he wished Chase would sleep in the bed, because he thought it would be better for him but if Chase didn't want to sleep in the bed, he walked to the bedroom.

Chase laid on the couch and got up then and made his way to the study, really quiet and picked up the picture that was still on the desk and picked it up before walking back and he laid back down on the couch, close to the window and the streetlights shone light on the picture and he kept staring at it. His dad was really smiling, his eyes were smiling as well and only now Chase realized that he did look like his dad when he was smiling, but he had never really seen it before because his dad never really smiled and he didn't have that many memories of him.

He looked at the picture that was on the small table by the couch, his wedding picture with Nora and as he looked closely, he knew that his dad was not really smiling. He was smiling with his mouth but not his eyes were not and Chase put the wedding picture back and looked back at the old picture.

He wish he had known this man, this man was smiling and seems so nice. He wished he could have met him. That he had known this man as his dad. He seemed so nice and friendly. This man had probably not left him, because he seemed so nice.

Looking at it just a little longer before going to sleep, he hoped he would find out more, found out what had changed this smiling young man in that mean adult. Hopefully he could find out.


NOTE: Chase and House looked farther through the house and in his study they finally found some traces of him but that also left al lot of questions on which they talked during dinner and after dinner Chase wanted to look on and he found a picture of his dad with another man, by which he find out that his dad was born under a different name...and also that a lot has changed because his dad used to be a happy young man...whom changed in a damaging old man.

Upcoming: They continue looking through the study and find a lot more there in a hidden place and Chase wonders if he should be looking in it if his dad hid it.
