Dr. House was sitting in his chair waiting for Cassandra to answer the phone. He was still angry about Dylan’s retort and was hoping he was doing what he had asked of him. When Cassandra’s voice came through the receiver House briefly forgot about Dylan and his plans to torment him, “Cassandra Walker, How are you today? This is Dr. House, your boss, and I am wondering why you are home to answer your phone when you should be here looking into a transfer patient. You have twenty minutes to get to my office before I fire you.” House loved his little game and he was ready to test all of these young doctors extensively. If they wanted to learn from the best, if they wanted to be the best, they needed to take the job seriously and do everything he asked.

After listening to anything else Cassandra had to say House hung up the phone and hobbled over to his cane, which still lay on the floor near the wall he threw it at. He picked up the cane and started toward the door just as Dr. Cuddy rounded the corner and entered the room. “You know we cannot make out in here. They can see through the door,” House said in that teasing voice that Cuddy found extremely annoying. She ignored his games and spoke bluntly and angrily, “House, you are the best doctor here and I am happy that you finally called in some employees, but what about paperwork. They need ID or they cannot be walking around the hospital and how the hell did you get a whole staff together in less than two hours?” House thought for a second before giving a short response, “They aren’t a staff so much as they are guinea pigs.” Cuddy just sighed, she didn’t know exactly what he meant but she knew he was up to some silly game. She handed House a large stack of papers saying, “Whatever House, just get their information and keep them out of trouble.” She didn’t wait for a response, mostly because she knew it wouldn’t be important, and headed for the door. She stopped briefly and reminded House that his staff should be used to benefit the hospital. “I do not pay them to do menial tasks for you. They are medical doctors, not your butlers,” Cuddy said before leaving the room and disappearing down the hall.

House put the stack of papers on his desk before limping out of the room. He would have them fill the paperwork out, at some point. Dr. House had another concern on his mind at the moment; he needed to check up on his lab rats and make sure the experiment was working. He had a perfect idea in mind for the evaluation method and he was so attuned to the personalities of others that he knew just how to annoy each and every one of his toys. Dylan was his main target because he made the mistake of standing up to House and even though that may help him later in the game it was a bad idea to pull that kind of crap now. For now House decided to check on Kinga Mehra. He walked down to the clinic where he expected her to be and looked at the sign-in log. Kinga Mehra was covering for House, but so was Dylan Rae. House shook his head and thought, “That is going to cost him another fifteen points.” He was really getting annoyed with this kid and he couldn’t wait to humiliate him. House glanced at his watch and saw that an hour had gone by. Soon his staff would meet, for the first time, in the conference room for differential diagnosis. House was so excited to see how his new staff was going to perform in such an environment and he was even more excited to see how humans react to each other when they know they must work together even as enemies. He walked back to the conference room and pulled his dry erase board up to the table. He wrote the names of the five current interns across the top of the board and then returned to his office to wait for Cassandra’s arrival, Hailie’s report, and his coffee.
