“Sir, can te hear me?”
Cas slowly opened his eyes and blinked. He lifted his hand to shut the sharp light out. Someone was pointing a really small flash light at his eyes.
“Sir, I need to check your eyes. Could te hold your hands down, please?”
It was a man and he was wearing a white coat. Cas vaguely remembered these people were called doctors.
“Looks all good” the doctor said. He looked up at Cas. “You are one very lucky man, Mister…?”
Cas shook his head. “I don’t know what my name is. I don’t know anything…about anything” He detto it as if he was talking about not being capable of baking an egg, but when he saw the doctor’s expression he realized his condition wasn’t as common as he thought it was.
“Maybe we should run a few più tests” the doctor said. “I’d like to do an MRI-scan to see if there’s any brain damage”
Cas nodded.
“The police is going to want to talk to you” the doctor jumped to another subject.
“Why?” Cas frowned. Sure he hadn’t done anything wrong.
“You have no legal papers, sir. They’ll want an explanation for that” the doctor explained.
“But I don’t remember anything!” Cas loudly detto and his voice had a desperate undertone.
The doctor sighed. “I don’t think they’ll go with that…I’m going to get everything ready for the scan”
He walked to the door and opened it, almost colliding to Daphne who was carrying a paper bag. “I’m sorry, Miss Allen”
“Oh, hi, doctor Tyson” Daphne detto friendly. “How’s he doing?”
“You can ask yourself. He’s awake”
Daphne walked past the doctor to the bed.
“Hi” she detto a little shy.
“Hi” Cas detto just as shy.
Daphne stared in his blue eyes and found herself unable to look away from them. There was something…angelic about them. Cas averted his head and noticed the bag.
“What’s in the bag?” he asked.
“Oh” Daphne quickly recovered with a smile. “Some of the most unhealthy Cibo te can imagine, like fries and cheeseburgers. I mean, te must be starving, right?”
“No” Cas bluntly said.
Daphne frowned, offended. Cas realized he made a mistake and tried to make it up.
“But I do Amore cheeseburgers” he detto sheepish, but it was good enough for Daphne. She sank down on the letto and conjured a cheeseburger. She handed it to Cas, while she got one herself.
“The doctor detto the police wants to talk to me, because I have no legal papers. He says they’ll want an explanation” Cas said, staring at his cheeseburger. He had a strange feeling he had seen this kind of Cibo before. Well, of course he had, how else would he remember loving it? He looked up. “I don’t have an explanation”
Daphne chewed her burger and swallowed before she answered. “Easy” she said. “You were robbed”
“I don’t know that” Cas detto confused.
“It’s either that o being a naturist” Daphne joked.
“I can’t prove it” Cas said.
Daphne raised her eyebrows. “You were naked. te didn’t have any bags o gadgets, like a watch, o anything. And te looked quite shocked to me. If that ain’t robbery then I don’t know what is”
“Why are te being so nice to me?” Cas asked soft. “You have no idea who I am”
Daphne looked down and her fingers played with a collana that had a small attraversare, croce on it. She looked up again. “God wanted me to find you. He would want me to take care of you”
