Painful

A new beginning

In the meantime there has past two weeks. I'm home since yesterday night, but I was so tired that I immediately went to bed.
...
I opened my eyes and stretched out. I looked at my arms, on my left arm I had a big scar. I don't remember what happened on my last mission, but it has to be something very bad. My right arm is almost totally healed, I have little scar trough my brow and a large one on my stomach. I stood up and opened the curtains. "What the F.." the words slipped my mouth when I saw a pool in my backyard. I smiled and decided to eat breakfast, afterwards I went to explore the house.

While I walked trough my house I came across a wall with a lot of pictures . I saw people I didn't remember. On one of the pictures I saw myself with another girl and some boys, we were wearing our uniforms. I have to admit it, I kinda looked good. I touched the picture. Was this my team? I looked happy on the picture. I guess we were close and look at me now, all alone. A tear escaped my eye, but I quickly wiped it away.

I went upstairs again. My room was big the walls were beige and blue. I had a closet with a mirror and my window was half of the wall. I opened my closet and put on a comfortable outfit and as finishing touch my dog tag from the army (the picture is my outfit). I grabbed my bag and keys and decided to go for a little ride in my Audi. I closed the door behind me and got in my car. I drove 10 min. and arrived at a street with many shops. I remember the street from the ride Jason gave me yesterday and wanted to explore it, because apparently some people knew me here. I parked the car and went to a small bakery across the street.

When I walked inside and saw so many delicious food a smile appeared on my face. Damn, how am I supposed to choose? There were donuts, brownies, cheesecake and many, many more. "Emma darling!" I looked up and saw a woman, I guess she was 50 or so. "Hi, I know you don't remember me. I'm Rosie!" She grabbed my hands and smiled gently. "How do you know I don't remember you?" I asked. "Well darling, I talked to your uncle Jason of course". I smiled to her and her eyes began to sprinkle. "Take a seat" she said pointing to a table. I followed her lead and sat down. "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine thank you for asking ma'am" "o please darling you may call me Rosie". I blushed a little and she rubbed my hand. "Well since you don't remember me I guess I need to introduce myself properly. So as you now know I'm Rosie, 57 years old.. for goodness sake I'm old! I'm your grandmothers friend" I chuckled. "Rosie you're not old! ... wait did you say grandmother?" "Yes darling your grandmother. Didn't you see her yet?" I shook my head. "I don't know anyone except my uncle" Rosie sighed "I think you should go see her she's a lovely person, just like you" I smiled thankfully "but darling you wanted to buy something, didn't you?" "Actually I were, but I couldn't choose". Rosie started to laugh "in that case, should I give you what you normally ordered: a caramel macchiato and a cheesecake?" "That sounds delicious thank you". Rosie gave me my order and after a little chat I left.

I walked down the street looking at my phone and drinking my caramel macchiato. And out of nowhere someone bumped into me, my coffee fell all over me and before I looked up I felt someone took my bag "o hell no! Hé!" I turned around and ran after the guy wearing a hoodie. Across the street I saw some cops and they noticed what happened but that didn't matter to me, I was going to get this guy by myself. How stupid is this guy to steal my bag?! He was fast but I was faster, he turned left and wanted to run into an alley and I followed him. Little did he know I have some moves. I sprinted and tackled him from behind, he fell and I quickly crawled on him holding his hands on his back. But I was mad! I turned him around. I was going to learn him a lesson. I was ready to give him one hell of a punch in the face, but right when I wanted to punch him someone held me down. I panted and looked up. Of course it were the cops. We all panted. The cop that held me back looked at me. He looked young "are you alright" "I think you should ask that to that douchebag" the policeman laughed "I think you're right". I got up and grabbed my bag I noticed my sweater was completely wet. "Dammit!" I looked at the bastard I swear if the cops weren't here I would've killed him. "Army?" I looked at the cop "what?" "Your dog tag, are you in the army? Aren't you too young for that?" "Well that doesn't matter anymore, ehh.. I have to go". The two cops smiled at me and I ran back to my car. I got out of my sweater, wearing only my sport bra. I stepped in my car and drove back to home. Great! I didn't even see half of the shops.

When I arrived home I quickly took a shower. I thought about what happened. I was
fast and the tackle felt great...

Its 6 o'clock in the morning and we're practicing to tackle. "Soldier Parks you may show how it's done!" The lieutenant said. A guy began to run and I ran after him. I'm wearing heavy clothes, but this should be a piece of cake. I ran and the moment I had the chance, I tackled him. I quickly placed one knee on his neck and my other foot on the ground...

... w-was that a memory? I washed my face for the last time and turned the shower off.
I putted on my clothes and went downstairs. I made food and right when I started to eat someone rang the doorbell. I opened it and saw Jason. "What are you doing here?" "Why? Aren't I allowed to come see my niece?" He said smiling. "Of course you're allowed to!" I let him in and he followed me to the kitchen. "I can see you're already feeling  home" "well this is home, right?" Jason laughed "you're right, this is home". I grabbed an extra plate and scooped up the food I made. "Thank you. I hope you still can cook, because your food was always the best" "we'll see" we both took a bite from the macaroni and truth to be told it was freaking delicious! "Mmmhmm, nothing has changed" Jason moaned and I laughed at his reaction. We talked a little and after we had finished our food we went to the backyard. I opened the door and stepped in a beautiful garden. There was a pool in the middle, surrounded by many roses and a view I can't describe "how could this be mine?" Jason smiled "You always used to say that". While looking at the view I begun to think "how am I going to afford this?" We sat down on the couch "your parents had left you enough money to stay here for as long as you need, but I do have a offer... I'm a chief at the police department and I want to hire you". I couldn't believe what I heard. Should I accept his offer? It may help me get my memories back. "I do understand that you need to think about it, so take your ti..." "I'll do it!" I said with assurance. Jason looked at me with big eyes "you will?!" I laughed again at his reaction "yes why not?". "We really could use someone as talented as you, pumpkin. But you still have to do the test. You also have to keep training, but I'm sure that won't be a problem for you" "I will, but how do you know for sure I can do it?" "If I'm not wrong today something happened and it included some police officers didn't it?" I furrowed "but how did you know it was me?" "I'm the chief I know everything, pumpkin". "Anyway I want to do it as fast as possible" I said. Jason looked at me as if he was trying to solve a puzzle, but gave up quickly. "Alright then. I recommend you to train hard this week and I'll see you next week at the police station" I smiled wide "yes sir!"

The next morning I got up early and putted on some sport clothes. I looked outside and it was nice weather. I went downstairs and ate my breakfast. Afterwards I grabbed my phone and plugged in my earphones. I shut the door behind me and went jogging. I jogged a very long time and at the last block I ran. I ran as fast as I could till I got home...

"This time I'm going to be faster then you, Emma!" "In your dreams!" Josh laughed and began to run. "Hé, that's not fair!" I followed his lead and started to run too. I ran and ran till I caught up with him. "Told you I would win!" I said and ran just a little faster again. We arrived at the base. "Emma was faster... again" Dylan sighed. "Woohoo, now give me my money Dylan" Amy said while Adam shook his head in disbelief...

Another memory. Josh, Dylan, Amy and Adam. I quickly opened the door and wrote the names in a notebook. That's when I knew it, this job will help me get my memories back!
