"Jake why did you do that," said Amy, my incredibly amazing girlfriend.

I get this a lot mainly by Amy actually pretty much everyone in the precinct. I will agree "sometimes" I don't think things through. I am more of an act first deal with the consequences later type of person. This type of thinking is one of the main reasons that I have solved so many cases and also how I got Amy to fall in love with me.

This time I really did something stupid, stupidly amazing. I may have gotten hit by a car chasing a perp that had just robbed a bank. I was working with Boyle I took a short cut to try and cut him off and may have ran in front of a taxi, which now has me in the hospital.

"Jake when will you learn that you do not need to be a superhero. And should really pay attention around cars. You have fallen through sunroofs and this is not the first time that you have gotten hit by one."

"Ames, I was so close. He was coming right in my direction, that taxi came out of nowhere."

"Jake, you just need to pay more attention. You're getting older you are not invincible."

"So I bruised and broke some ribs, nothing that body hasn't fixed before."

"You forgot to mention a concussion, a broken arm."

"Thats nothing I will be back catching criminals before you know it."

"I think you should lay low for a bit Peralta." It was Capitan Holt, "You have some serious injuries you should take some time to heal.

"Heal, shmeal. I'm fine plus I need to go catch that bank robber. He is the same guy that has been robbing banks all over Brooklyn. Plus I have been in a rut I really need to catch him."

The doctor came in, "Officer Peralta-"

"I think you mean Detective Peralta,"

Everyone glared over at me, this was my clue to shut up.

"Ok Detective Peralta, you took some major injuries. No working for at least a month, we need those bones to heal. Then you should be able to start working minimal shifts with no strenuous activity."

"Um…but the criminals are not going to catch them-"

"Jake I know you hate missing out on catching the bad guy but you need to take it easy for a while, there will always be more bad guys to catch."

"I agree with Detective Santiago on this one Peralta," Capitan Holt chimed in, "you're not getting any cases until you are cleared by your doctors. I am going to put Boyle in charge of this case now."

I felt like a 5 year old being forced into getting my haircut. I need to solve this case I can't loose my edge (even if I am in a slump). "This case is mine, I need this."

"Peralta, rest. You were taken out by a taxi. Boyle has this give your friend the benefit of the doubt."

"Sorry but I want to chime in with some good news," said the doctor, "you are good to go you do not need to stay here go rest at home."

Now to get away from Amy and the Captain and solve this case.
