The Protector
Chapter 1
Greg House walked into his office with a blue file ready to face his team and solve a new case. Lisa Cuddy walks in shortly after him.
“So what do we have today?” Thirteen asks.
“Lisa would you please leave?” House replies.
“No I want to hear what you have.” Lisa says.
“Trust me you don’t” House says back.
“House read the damn report.”
“You’ll be sorry.”
“23 year old rape victim with hallucinations, migraines, and severe abdominal pain.”
Lisa looks at Greg and the team and suddenly leaves the office. House knows a nerve has been struck but continues to lecture his team. When done lecturing he makes his way to Dr. Cuddy’s office. He walks in and sees her in tears.
“I asked you to leave” House said.
“That poor girl how is she doing?”
“She’ll be fine after time and some counseling, quit pretending this doesn’t bring back memories of your rape.” “I’m here if you need me Lisa”
“I do.” She said through tears. “I do need you Greg.”
“That was the most horrible night of my life but you were there and rescued me if you had not been there who knew what that monster would have done to me. Besides the fact that he severely beat me up and raped me he could have done worse. He could have killed me.”
“Lisa I only regret that I hadn’t been there 5 minutes sooner, maybe I could have stopped him.”
“It wasn’t your fault Greg.”
“I know but if I had been there sooner…”
“You were so good with me you scooped me up and took me to the hospital to get me checked out for STD’s and pregnancy and to have me bandaged up. You were great that night.”
“You were 23 nothing should happen to a beautiful young woman like what happened to you. I had to do something. I liked you and had to help you.”
“Greg, I’m tired of talking about this I’m going to go home would you come with me?”
“Are you sure after today do you really want me to go home with you?”
“Truth is I feel completely safe with you around and knowing there is a rapist out there… I would just feel better if you spent the night with me.”
“Sure. I can do that.”
They both get up to leave the hospital and arrive at Dr. Cuddy’s house.
“I’ll take the couch nothing is going to happen to you Lisa.”
‘Thanks but I would feel more comfortable if you slept in my bed with me.”
Shocked at what he was hearing Greg looked suspiciously at her.
“Lisa I really don’t think that’s a great…”
“Please Greg I’m scared.”
“Whatever you need.”
“Thank you!”
Greg and Lisa walked into Lisa’s room and she got dressed for bed in her bathroom. Greg laid down on the right side of her bed and waited for her to come to bed.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?”
“Yes. I need you. I feel safe when I’m with you.”
“Okay.”
She lies down in bed next to him and covers herself up with the sheet and blanket.
“Goodnight House.”
“Goodnight Cuddy.”
It starts to storm outside raindrops pouring down. Thunder strikes and she wakes up silently shrieking. It had stormed the night she was raped and now she was having more flashbacks to that horrible night.
“Greg, hold me” she whispers and shakes House awake.
“Are you okay?”
“No, hold me I’m terrified.”
“Lisa nothing is going to happen to you.”
She wraps her arms around his chest and pulls herself closer to him. He wraps an arm around her and assures her that she is okay. Finally she falls asleep with her head rested on his chest and he falls asleep soon after she does.
