On edge, waiting for the dialing to end and to finally hear words, Amber jumped when a voice sounded from behind her ear, louder and stronger than anything that could've come through the phone. "Geez! Eric!" she exclaimed once she'd gotten past the surprise and identified who it was.
It took her another second to process his words; she made a face. "Oh, this is only about me getting hired, is it. I'm sure you know exactly what Casey has. You don't need any help." Yeah, in a perfect world they wouldn't need House, but the fact was that after two false diagnoses they still had no idea what she had and they could use every genius brain within reach. Eric could be as annoyed with her as he liked, but they couldn’t leave everything up to him.
Pointedly staring at him, Amber let the dial ring a few more times before hanging up and putting the phone back into her pocket. She walked towards the stair well again, going quickly; they had to act fast. "Wasn't Brennan with you?" she asked, half-wondering, but thinking more about Casey's symptoms and a unifying explanation.
