Summary: What happens when House loses the ability to control his life?

PPTH Lobby:

House walked into the place of his worst nightmare, the lobby outside the walk in clinic. The sun shone brightly, beckoning House hide from the world. He was getting an excruciating headache. Almost ready to leave, He encounters the one thing that can stop him – Dr. Lisa Cuddy, Dean of Medicine.

Her demeanor surprised him a little, she was almost cheerful. This scared him the most. "House!" she smiled as the met in the center of the lobby. "You owe me 5 clinic hours. Do them today or I'll make it 10." House smiled. Things were as they should be. "Good to see you to Dr. Cuddy. Just let me put my things in the office and I'll be right back."

She smirked, "I'll just come with you. I need to talk to Foreman and Chase. Neurology is getting behind in diagnostics. And since you don't have a case right now, I'm loaning them out."

He shrugged, "What about Cameron?" The elevator doors opened. "Oh she's all yours. Don't do anything that I might regret." House pouted and Cuddy wasn't moved. "Hurry up and get down to the Clinic." He nodded as she left. He pulled out his I Pod. I need just a moment to rest my eyes. House turned up the volume and closed his eyes.

House woke up later to Cameron's penlight. "What do you think your doing?" He asked.

"I've been trying to wake you for twenty minutes." House gave her a dirty look. "What? It's never taken this long before." House tried to get up but fell back down. "You've got clouding in one eye." Cameron stepped over to his desk. "Page Dr Cuddy, I found House."

Dr Cuddy blew in his office so quickly that House thought a hurricane roar in, Hurricane Lisa. "What do you think your doing – blowing off clinic duty? I should give you double hours for the next four months." Cameron watched House's reaction. There was none, nothing at all. "Dr. Cuddy, something's wrong." She pointed to House, his glazed eyes almost cutting though Cuddy. "Get a gurney down here now. Did he tell you what had happened?" Cameron shook her head.
