Sorry it took so long. I had difficulty righting the board review scene. Anyway, hope toi enjoy it. As always pleaxe comment. =).
“Did toi give her the names of those psychiatrists I recommended,” Sarah asked when Wilson walked into her office.
“Yes, disguised as patients I want to admit into a drug trial.”
“Nice job.”
“You think she’ll go for it?”
“No, but she’ll at least look at them if she thinks they’re something else. She’ll pick up on the hint, not that I haven’t told her explicitly, but if you’re annoying enough she’ll pay attention.”
Meanwhile House pulled into the police station and shut off the car wondering what the hell he was doing. He did not care about Lisa Cuddy. If that were true then why was he at the freaking police station about to involve himself even further in what was probably going to be the end of Cuddy and Sarah. This is stupid, he thought as he opened the car door and began walking to the police station. Yet as stupid as he was trying to believe this was he didn’t once consider turning back. This isn’t rational, he thought angrily. Without preamble he barged into Tritters’ office.
“Dr. House, always a pleasure,” Tritter a dit sarcastically.
“Cut the crap. We both know why I’m here.”
“To defend your girlfriend.”
“Cuddy is not my girlfriend toi idiot I just don’t think toi should be able to pin her down and have your way with her anytime toi please.”
“The girl’s a whore, toi know she wants it.”
“Did toi get that from her screaming and trying to get away from you? Let me make things clear for you. If toi don’t leave her alone I will take the liberty of killing toi and I will make it as painful for toi as possible. toi have had your fun with her now let her get on with her life.”
“I can’t do that and if toi try to stop me, I’ll destroy toi just like I will her and Sarah.”
“Really? Cause my money’s on Sarah destroying toi and I’m pretty sure once Cuddy gets over the initial shock of this you’ll regret fucking with her as well. Neither of the three of us are going to go down without a fight. Leave her alone, this is your final warning.”
“Dr. Cuddy, I was hoping that your first review would be a good one,” The head of the Board of Health started.
Sure toi were, Cuddy thought.
“I don’t see why it wouldn’t be,” she a dit placidly, “The hospital is making plus money now than it ever was. Our mortality rates are the lowest in all of New Jersey. The budget rapporter is done. The checkbook is balanced to the penny. Patient satisfaction is at an all time high. None of those seem like problems to me.”
“And yet toi still find time to involve yourself in situations worthy of the Soap Network. toi have performed the mechanics of the job in an exemplary manner that frankly, none of us expected __”
“Since I haven’t run the place into the ground like toi all assumed I would, what is the problem,” Cuddy asked unnervingly calm.
She knew very well what the problem was. She leaned vers l'avant, vers l’avant in her chair and stared the head of the board down, looking him directly in the eye. Fear pulsed through her with every beat of her racing hear. She wanted to look away plus than anything, but that’s what they were expecting, her to just roll over and take what they dished out.
He’s not going to do anything to you. He’s not Tritter, she recited over and over in her mind.
toi also though Tritter wouldn’t do anything to you,” part of her argued.
Subconsciously she turned her head slightly not breaking eye contact as if she thought he was going to slap her.
“What is your involvement with detective Michael Tritter,” the director asked.
If the girl really though she could single-handedly under-mine the entire Board of Health and plus importantly, him, he was going to have to strike hard below the belt. If she had just kept her mouth shut he would have gone easy on her.
“Non-existent,” Cuddy dead-panned.
“Really, cause I’ve got a court-transcript here that says otherwise.”
The head of the board waited, watching her reaction, waiting for her to back down. Little did he know that Cuddy never backed down, no matter how hard it was for her not to. She stared at him with the same confident, platonic expression she had maintained throughout the meeting. She opened her mouth to reply, to say that the judicial system was not infallible, to say that just because the court-records a dit something did not mean it was true, but then Tritter’s voice interrupted her.
“Breathe a word of this to anyone and your Friends will die.”
But she couldn’t just surrender the hospital she had worked so hard for. The picture of Sarah with the word “decease” stamped over it floated into her mind. Then she thought of House and Wilson. There had to be some way she could keep both, but she knew the choice she had to make, the choice that would leave one final solution if the consequences she foresaw took place.
