3 Playing the good cop (2/2)

-Here I was about to crown you as somewhat...gentleman.

-Thanks madam inspector but you know...job turns people into man or woman. But please, I do look forward to seeing you again.

-I'm sure you do.

-Well I was about to complement your beautiful face like a gentleman does, but that chin needs serious attention first.

-...

-Here inspector! If there's any need you can call this.

-Please this is your idea of asking a girl to bar? At least give me your number.

-It won't be any better. I don't use my phone anymore. Rest assured this is as close as a personal phone.

-Wow that's...uh...new. Okay. I will contact you. Will I be needing anything else here? What did the receptionist say?

-No, as long as he stays as an employee of the bar. But you need to come up with a story for yourself. I will be heading back now.

After he left, the whole thing my situation kicked me in the head again. The surroundings kinda started to push me into thinking that I wasn't familiar enough to get by here. But to fuel my incompetence a doctor threw the right question into the table.

-Excuse me but are you with the bar employee?

-Huh yes. Yes Mam.

-We've looked over him and made necessary arrangements.

-I see; could you tell me about his leg? Is there by chance a need for amputation?

-No. Although it would take some time to get back into the job again.

-Okay. Hmm, right! Thanks Mam for your time. Can you give me any info on when the operation is going to happen?

-Maybe in about one hour. I have heard about the accident at bar from Jerry. We've supplied him with some anaesthesia and covered up the wound for now. You may talk to him now but be quick.

-Alright. Thanks again Mam.

I got the room he was stationed at. Upon entering the room I got the idea of what a hospital in need actually looks like. After looking around for a good five minutes I finally saw him. But he wasn't a bit moved as if he noticed me from the very moment I got into this room. It felt like a dead man staring at me when I looked closely at him. There was a little chair beside his bed. I moved towards him to play my role.
