UNKNOW EFFECT

"Where the hell am I?" Shinichi asked himself. He looked down at his hands and realized he was sitting in a heap of garbage. He brushed the palms of his hands off on his pants and reached up to rub the giant bump on his head, the gash still bleeding a little. "Holy Shit! That hurts. What the hell happened to me?" Shinichi tried to get up on his feet, but the dizziness and pain kept him down.

Just then a man with a long brown overcoat and brown hat came walking past the alley and Shinichi called out: "Help, please, I think I'm hurt..."

"Huh? Whose there?" came a gruff voice from the street. The man in the coat turned and walked towards where Shinichi sat.

"I need help, I'm bleeding and I'm too dizzy to stand on my own." Shinichi explained.

"Shinichi! What happened to you!" asked Inspector Megure. He grabbed Shinichi by the arms and stood him upright. "Hurry... we have to get you to a hospital!"

'How does this guy know me?' Shinichi thought to himself. 'Oh well, ask questions later, I need to get cleaned up first.'

They took a cab to the nearest hospital where Inspector Megure helped Shinichi inside. "He needs immediate medical attention, especially to the wound and trauma suffered to his head." he advised the emergency room nurses. Shinichi was taken in right away. An hour later the doctors wheeled Shinichi out into the waiting room, where Inspector waited. He was all cleaned and bandaged up, looking a little better than when Inspector Megure found him.

"He suffered a severe blow to his head with a blunt object, and now is suffering from a very peculiar case of amnesia. Shinichi cannot seem to recall what happened to him in the moments leading up to this apparent attack. In fact, he can't recall almost anything. We are sending him home on strict orders that he rest and take this medication that will help heal the contusion and hopefully help him regain his memory."

"Huh? You mean you don't know who I am Shinichi?" asked Inspector Megure.

"I... I'm just a little confused right now. I really have no idea what happened to me." Shinichi looked down at his hands and felt very strange about the whole situation.

"When can he return to work? We have a very big undercover case Shinichi is currently working on, he's my top detective... I can't do without him." Inspector Megure said.

"I'm a what? A detective? No, that can't be... wait a second... I work at a local school... I'm a soccer coach." Shinichi answered.

"No. No, you are a detective for the city of Tokyo, you're on my team. Shinichi, you are the greatest detective we have. Please tell me you remember something?" asked Inspector Megure.

"Ran. I remember Ran. Where is she?" Shinichi asked.

"Ran? I'm sure Ran is at home asleep. It's 2 in the morning Shinichi. I better get you home. You're a mess and the doctors are right, you need rest." answered Inspector Megure.
