America's POV

I parked my 2015 Ford F-150 in a spot of the McDonald's parking lot. Walking into the restaurant I noticed it was mostly deserted except for the two employees working in the kitchen and a shady looking figure sitting in a corner booth. It wasn't surprising that the place is empty since it's about two in the morning. The tired looking girl took my order of the biggest sweet tea they had and a big mac. I'm here so late or is it early? Anyway I'm at Mickey D's at two in the morning because a meeting with the bossman went on way longer then it was expected. It seems like more and more problems keep on finding me. But that's over with and all I want to do is eat a burger, drive home and go to sleep. I got my order and drank down most of the sweet tea in one gulp while walking to my truck. I noticed my tea tasted a bit off but what I failed to notice was that the shady guy had gotten up and followed me outside. I heard the all so familiar click of a gun but before I could turn around he shot me seven times in the back. I stumbled forward a little bit and my movements became slow and my vision blurred. I'm starting to think they poisoned my tea with some kind of extremely strong drug because I felt myself fall onto the cement. Numbly lying on the ground the figure pulled out a knife and slit my throat, plunging me into darkness.

AN: Short first chapter to set up the story to end up in the Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The next chapter will be in House's POV.
