SO I'M A DETECTIVE

"How old am I supposed to be then now Mom?", I asked while slowly lying on the hospital bed and the nurses injecting the needles back. I had the most comfortable time sitting on the hospital bed which felt too soft for me. And an extra pillow sitting on my lap gave the perfect degree of completion on the comfor I was feeling.
"24", I dropped my mouth wide open in awe.
"24?!", I blinked to many time while encoding the numbers. I aged that quick? Where have all my memories those years went? What have I been doing with my life that long?
I can't still seem to believe the fact that I'm 24 now. I mean, it just felt like days ago I was climbing on the tree house on the front lawn and acting like a pirate out to guard her self-owned sea.
"I mean, I do look like one because of how mature I look now. I wanted to get a new house on my own for my 18th birthday though? What happened?", she chuckled as I wait for her to answer and plucked some graped on the fruit basket on top of the table near me, but not too near. I had the hard time trying to pluck one and still stretching my arms further to the fruit basket while listening to Mom.
"You did ask for the house, so you are living on your own since then, but I frequently visit your house to clean and leave you cooked food on the fridge", I nodded and thought about other things I could possibly have and accomplished after all those years without my arms not giving up on reaching the fruit basket and felt proud when I finally had my hands on one grape and plucked it off the group.
"So I suppose I'm working right now?", she just nodded and I tossed the grape inside my mouth and munched it feeling the taste like I've never had a taste of real food in a decade. My Mom seemed to not like it and she looked at me with her eyes telling the grape was dirty and not cleansed with water while she took something from her bag. Well I couldn't care about it, no one dies out of dirt.
"I thought I should give you this the moment you wake to help you regain your memory. But now I'm giving you this so you could re encode all your memories back instead", she handed me a medium-sized box of photos and an i.d.'s. sighing heavily. She was worried, I could see that. Happy that I finally woke up but sad that I have lost memories of half of my life. You know, it could've been a perfect celebration if I opened my eyes and woke up and was able to remember everything. But because I failed one, it's like, expectations not met.
One says Lieutenant, the other says Police Officer I, II, III, the other says a Captain for the Crime Unit, and the other says for Intelligence. I had a photo holding a g*n, I had a photo wearing my police uniform, I had my photo all annoyed when my Mom did weird things during my promotion as I see it.
"I guess I served for the country for years now", my Mom took a seat and I gave her a stare as she moved, reflexes, and my eyes landed on the weird peach we was trying to peel so I leaned closer to her, took it away from her and gave her the apple instead.
I don't like peaches.
Since when did she not know that? or was she tricking me?
"You worked as a police for 9 years . You went in training when you were 13, but your superior says you can't enter when you're way too young and started working for the Intelligence, then to the Police District, then now to the Crime Unit", I smirked after realizing how i***t I was! I worked for the intelligence and quit the job to work at the police district?!
"I mean what kind of an i***t would quit working at the intelligence filled with modern and comfortable things to work at a minor branch?!"
"You say that all the time, and you ended up joining the Police. You always say computers are way too lame and that your fists were growing weaker if a day passes and you won't catch a damn lurking on the streets", I raised my left eyebrown and nodded in approval. Well, I had a point though.
"Give yourself some rest and do not mind your work. You've always been the same though you had your memory wiped. I need to attend an urgent meeting with some personnels. You're way too strong so I suppose you don't need a watch in here, but call me whenever you need anything, okay?", I just gave her a thumbs up and blinked and she smiled in return. My Mom has always been call ever since I was a child. She was someone who could adapt to the changes in the environment, but she makes sure you know the line and the word respect. I acted closing my eyes and all set to get a sleep and had my eyes closed when I heard her walk out of the door and closed it. The moment I heard she got out of the door by the sound it makes, without a second thought and I rose out from my bed and walked around the room.
Dude! I haven't walked for months and my body laid down on this hospital bed for months, you can't obviously make me lay in that after waking up. I need to shake this bones of steel. Stretch this flexy joints, test the moves!
I opened the television to try watch something interesting but all I saw are bunch of hospital talks and healthy conversation and I was like, dude, I've been living at this hospital for two months so I couldn't be more healthy than I am with all these nurses and doctors checking me up everyhour. A HANDSOME DOCTOR, on top of that! HAHAHAHAAH
I was laughing all by myself when the door suddenly opened so I rushed to lie on the bed and pretend sleeping.
A manly chuckle echoed inside as the sound of a door closing pressed and I opened my eyes to see who it was.
He is really, a handsome Doctor.
"You don't have to pretend sleeping", I immediately I suggest you move around after lying in the bed for two months", I opened my eyes wide open and stood up within a second. Rise and Shine doodle!
"Such as my point! You Doctor, are prettily the best doctor in this hospital. I mean who the dumb would make their patient sleep again after sleeping for months. All the people were praying for the patients to wake up and then make them sleep when they wake up. blablablablablablabal", I said shaking my head like a weirdo and the doctor just chuckled as he adjusts the amount drop and speed on the IV drip.
"Doc, I don't think I need an IV Drip anymore though. I can eat and supply water for my body", he just smirked and shrugges his shoulders to say a no and I gave him a quick death stare and leaned on my bed.
He's not the best doctor in this hospital anymore. To think that we were on the same page?bcfsjdndsjkgbvk
"Be patient with it for the next hours, Im'ma take this off your hands later tonight", I just nodded and watch him on what he was doing.
"So, any pain or malfunctions after waking up"
"None", he just nodded and noted it down on.
"And your Mom told you why you are at the hospital?", I took an apple from the fruit basket and the fruit peeler.
"No, I'm guessing I was hurt. Wow, how did I guess it right?", he just chuckled.
"You had a car accident after bumping with a trashtruck on a crossway. The driver was caught though and turned out drunk while driving and oversped crushing your car. You were taken by someone and was brought to my summerhouse meters away from there where I was taking a 2-day off and operated you right away", I just chewed the apple inside my mouth while listening to him amazed
