The times House wasn't avoiding work were the times he was doing something work-related - such as reading up on the latest drug trials or the latest medical research. He'd come across an article in the latest issue of the nephrology medical journal on kidney donation from HIV-positive donors; being the ratio of organ donors to the amount of people requiring organs was so unbalanced, the article had caught his attention ( ... )

Wilson stood, silent and, well, a little perplexed. It wasn't what he thought? A birthday present was a birthday present. You didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. So how could it not be what he thought?

Unless House meant his reason for keeping it a secret wasn't what Wilson thought. Except he hadn't really given much thought to why House had kept it a secret, figuring it was the result of one of House's strange personality quirks. That's the way it usually worked. So Wilson hadn't really thought anything about which House could say it wasn't what Wilson was thinking.

Damn it, he was confusing himself.

Wilson cleared his throat and tried to school his features back into a stern expression. Something was off. Something just didn't quite fit. The only thing Wilson knew for certain was that if the something off was something Wilson didn't know about, his only chance to find out what it was might be to make House think he knew more than he really did. Basically Wilson was going to have to bluff and hope House didn't ( ... )

House just kept his eyes trained on Wilson, noting the brief look of confusion Wilson had given him. Weird. If Wilson had found out about Cade, wouldn't he be angry rather than confused? If Wilson knew about Cade and had come to confront him about that, where would there be room for confusion? There was nothing to be confused about, if Wilson had jumped to any conclusions.

The next thing Wilson said didn't really help House decipher exactly why Wilson had been momentarily confused. But he was free to enlighten Wilson? House finally looked away and ran his hand over his chin as he raced through his mind for something to say. More importantly, how to say it.

Maybe he could bluff, if the perplexed look Wilson had given him was anything to go by. It was worth a shot. Dropping his hand back to his lap, he returned his gaze to Wilson ( ... )

Damn it, House had called his bluff. There was only one thing to do and that was to raise the stacks. The only problem was Wilson still had no idea what cards either of them were holding, and even less idea of what the stakes actually were. Still, you didn't get anywhere with House by playing it safe ( ... )
