Sorry for not posting for so long, just got school work and etc... So this is next chapter, to be honest I already forgot how exactly I was planing for this story to go, but I remember details so I thing I'll be good. :). Enjoy.
"Think House is coming in today?" Ally asked looking through the file while they were sitting in the office.
"Maybe if we start offering spa treatments." Foreman said bored.
"He already jumped off of a hotel balcony."What's next, bull riding?" she asked not raising her eyes so she wouldn't have to see Chase sitting in front of her.
"Wouldn't you like that?" Taub laughed earning an elbow to his ribs.
"Maybe ride some kind of prostitute chariot to work?" Chase said looking through the glass.
"First person to offer me an interesting case gets to ride her… single or double-team." House announced riding into the office. "My scooter, which, now said out loud, sounds even more inappropriate." He said smiling.
"Seriously? You're bringing them to work now?" Taub said referring to the prostitute.
"23-year-old homeless man brought into the E.R. with burn injuries and…" Ally starts ignoring everything around her and not letting House, who was riding around the table at the moment, to interject. "He said his burning flesh smelled like licorice, and the E.R. antiseptics like blueberry muffins. Also he claimed his name is Ferris Bueller." She finished finally raising her eyes to see a quite interested House and raised eyebrows from the guys.
"Cool. Dysosmia… could be anything from an environmental factor to an early sign of a degenerative brain disease." House said taking a file from Ally. "Smells like a winner." He added before giving the orders. As everyone stood to do their job House added. "Ally, you can ride us whenever you ready." He winked at her making her snort and the team left.
…
"Danny may have lied about his name, but he was telling the truth about the vials. Tests confirm they were vitamin A and B12." Ally said as she was riding the scooter around the office while House and Foreman were getting foot massages from Dominika.
"He also enjoys vitamin H. The kid's a junkie." House said eating a slice of cucumber.
"Tox screens were negative for drug use." Taub informed.
"His hair wasn't. I had it tested…'Cause unlike Santa and the Easter Bunny, homeless, non-mentally ill 20-somethings without drug problems don't exist. He was a heavy user sometime in the last five months."
They all almost got into a fight over the patient but luckily everything ended well that is until House let Ally do the x-ray if Chase helped her. She just nodded put a fake smile on and looked at Chase to see what he had to say. And he just smiled back and nodded.
…
"If we add tunnel vision to the dysosmia, we can subtract the bone-induced abdominal bleeding." She said watching House play with a toy helicopter.
"I thought the dysosmia was from heroin." Taub said leaning on the balcony.
"He said he never snorted, he just shot up. So that wouldn't have affected his sense of smell."
"And we believe the lying liar why?"
The helicopter flied towards them while they argued and they had to duck.
"House… Are you even listening to us?" Foreman asked annoyed.
"I'll start when you decide what the symptoms are and give me some theories." House said and showed Ally the remote suggesting to play and she took it smiling.
While others discussed Ally played with the toy sometimes laughing along Dominika when they hit each other's toy and girl remembered that she had one similar to this when she was a kid and at that moment she looked up and saw Chase smiling at her, that made her quickly look away and give back the remote to House. Chase quickly understood what had happened and suggested his theory to House.
"Good. MRI his head, find it." House said looking suspiciously at Ally before he saw Cuddy.
…
They were at the radiology lab, House with Dominika were playing ping pong against Ally and Foreman while discussing the patient. Foreman and Ally missed the last ball that House slammed and Dominika shouted.
"In your head!" clapping and making Ally snort a laugh and quickly hide behind Foreman.
"It's "face."" House corrected her.
"On your face!" Dominika tried again.
"Oh God." Ally tried to suppress her laughed hiding her face in Foreman's lab coat.
While girl calmed down, others decided what to do and as House and his fiancée were leaving, Dominika turned back and stopped.
"Ally can't I take a word with you?" she asked with that accent.
"Sure." She said surprised.
Ally got back after few moments to three eager faces.
"She asked me to be the maid of honour." She said stunned.
There was a silence as they all tried to process what just happened.
"What did you say?" Taub asked.
"I asked who's the best man." She said still a bit dazed.
"You agreed?" Foreman was surprised.
And everyone started laughing.
…
"Ahoy there, me hearties! Permission to come aboard."House shouted from his monster truck.
"Awesome." Was all Ally could say.
After 5 minutes of laughing because Ally had hard time to climb up, minus the part that she was wearing a skirt, they finally were driving down the street.
"Danny said his left arm felt like it was on fire last night. We assumed it was a schizophrenic delusion, but…" Ally shouted over the music probably being the only one except House who enjoyed the ride.
"It's not. He's on Clozapine. He'd be getting better, not worse." House shouted back.
"Sounds like regional pain syndrome. Has to be a genetic disorder." Chase said bouncing on the seat.
"Would you slow down! You're gonna get us arrested." Foreman was a bit angry.
"I wouldn't worry about it. We'll probably die first." Taub pointed out.
"Come on, this is actually fun." Ally said earning a smirk from House and a grin from Chase which she missed because she was trying to hear what Foreman was saying.
"We need to run his DNA. He could have early onset of Parkinson's."
After a few moments they stopped harshly in front of red light making them all fall and the girl giggle.
…
"So, how are things with Luke?" Chase asked as they were driving to visit their patient's dad.
"Good." She said looking through the window.
"So you guys are serious now?" he asked awkwardly.
"It's a bit personal, don't you think?" she fired back looking away quickly.
"Come on it's not like we're strangers."
"We're not exactly friends ether." She said.
"Clearly…" he said and the rest of the ride was silence except for the music coming through the radio.
They found out that their patient was lying again so they got back to the hospital, but Chase stopped her just as she was about to climb out of his car.
"Is it silent treatment from now on?"
"Chase, what do you want? I tell you what I want us to be civilized to each other and you start mocking me, I try to stay out of your way as much as possible and you get mad for it, so what do you really want?" she asked tired of all this.
"That cowboy, that's what this is all about? Look I picked you up from a date where I had to see you grind on some kind of dude after a week of seeing how you flirt with a patient and when we have that talk…." He said sighing. "I guess I was a bit pissed and it just happened." He said looking at the wheel.
"What are you trying to say?" she asked surprised and a bit confused.
"That I…" He started but quickly stopped. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have lashed out like that." He quickly corrected himself.
"It's okay, let's go to House." She smiled not entirely convinced but decided to let it go.
…
After the wedding ceremony, Ally was in the kitchen while other guests were at the living room. She was pouring herself a drink.
"Any champagne left?" She heard Chase.
She turned around, smiled and showed the bottle she had in her hand.
"So, you're flying solo tonight?" he asked as they were sitting on the kitchen table with their glasses full and looking through the window.
"Yeah, Luke has early practice tomorrow."
"Well too bad for him." He said looking at her. "May I say that you look gorgeous tonight miss Gorgeous." He said making her laugh.
"Thank you." She said. "And may I say you did a great job tonight." She laughed again.
"Thank you. A toast." He said raising his glass. "To being gorgeous." He said with a smirk.
"To marrying people." She interrupted him.
"And to House and Dominika." They both said clinking their glasses.
…
Next morning Ally came to work in a good mood, because she just felt, that this would be a good day, I mean: the patient was getting better, she had great time last night and an enjoyable breakfast with Luke. What she didn't expect is the crowd gathering around their patients' room. When she got closer she saw policemen searching Danny's empty bed.
"What's going on?" she asked as she reached Taub, Foreman and Chase.
"Danny disappeared without checking out." Foreman said glancing at her.
"So you called the FBI?" Ally tried to joke.
"We didn't call them, they just showed up. Danny's DNA… When we sent it to the lab for testing, it set off alarm bells all over the country." Chase explained concentrating on the girl.
"He's linked to 13 unsolved murders in ten different states." Foreman said when saw Ally's quizzical look.
"He's a serial killer who eats his victims." Chase added studying her face.
"And we saved him" both Ally and Taub said, but Ally's was more a whisper.
There was silence for a while, Ally tried to process what she just heard, Foreman and Taub were back to watching FBI and Chase was looking at Ally and a bit scared how she just got totally white. Few more minutes passed and the girl just turned around and walked to their office. Chase was looking at her with the intention of going after her, but somehow didn't move from his spot.
"Go" Foreman said.
Chase looked at him, nodded and went to the office too. He found her sitting in one of the chairs looking at non existing spot on the table.
"You okay?" he asked sitting beside her.
"Huh?" she looked up. "Oh, sorry, probably zoned out" she said and was standing when Chase grabbed her by the wrist.
"It's okay to feel whatever you feel after you find suck kind of thing" he said. "You want to talk about it?" he asked when she sat again.
Ally was about to say no, but then looked at him and sighed. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it. Chase waited patiently while she gathered her words.
"At first, when I heard the news, I felt horrible, I mean we saved a murderer and he eats humans." She said looking above his head. "But when I started thinking about it, I mean, yes it is horrible what he does, but it doesn't feel real and I just don't feel horrified or disgusted or anything. I mean, it just doesn't seem real and I can't picture it and I just don't know" she trailed off looking at her lap. "Does it make me a bad person that I don't feel about this situation?" she looked up at him.
"No, no..." He said taking her hands. "It doesn't. It's really normal, you can't imagine if you didn't see, it's okay." He said reassuring her.
"Thanks." She said. "Can I..." she started looking up from her lap again, but stopped. She released her hands from his grip and extended them. "Can I just?" she didn't know how to ask it.
Chase quickly understood what she wanted and just smiled hugging her. Girl whined her arms around his neck and nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck. Chase rubbed her back up and down glad that they were back to being friends.
