Rob stretched trying to work out the kinks the small plastic chair had given his back, he kept his eyes on the boy Maurice on the bed in front of him and glanced across to where his partner was asleep next to the bed his head resting on the mattress next to the boy's hand.
Maurice was doing much better, his oxygen levels had risen and the staff had been able to remove the tube from down his throat and his color had improved as well, now if it weren't for the ugly bruises and the now stitched cut on the boy's face it almost looked like he was simply asleep.
Rob stretched again but stopped mid stretch his gaze on the boy's hand, his finger's twitched a little as they had been doing much of the night, they twitched again and this time the hand moved.
"Dave" Rob shook his friend awake, Dave glanced up disorientated
" He moved his hand " Rob informed him and Dave watched as the tiny hand moved again,
" Get a nurse " he ordered and Rob took off out of the room, Dave took the tiny hand in his own huge paw.
" Maurice, if you can hear me, I want you to squeeze my hand" he said softly, there was no movement,
" I know you're scared buddy but it's time to wake up now, " A huge smile suddenly appeared on Dave's face as the boy squeezed his hand, somewhat weakly but it was still a squeeze.
Rob appeared behind him with a doctor, who took the opposite bed side and flashed a penlight into Maurice's eyes. Next he took Maurice's's other hand
" Son if you can hear me, squeeze my hand " he waited a second and then looked up at Rob and Dave
"He's coming around, but it could still take awhile for him to completely wake up, so just keep talking to him, let him know there's someone here for him, "
The Doctor checked some of the moniters and the IV and then strolled back out of the room, leaving the two police officers behind him. Rob rubbed his eyes wearily then moved closer to the bed and twiddled his finger's he looked across at an equally exhausted Dave,
" Well, Kid when you wake up you're gonna catch sight of two pretty tired guys, one of them would be mine Rob's and the other will be Dave's, we kind of found you and we've been waiting around all night and would really like to meet you. " Rob bumbled not sure of what to say,
" Rob you're a dickhead, he meant keep telling him stories and stuff " Dave sighed resting his head on the bed
" What does it matter if I tell him stories or if I just talk to him, it's still stuff to listen to and it's still letting him know he's not by himself. " Rob argued and Dave shook his head
" Yeah but with you droning on the poor kid's never gonna want to open his eyes " Dave shot back half kidding and Rob raised an eyebrow,
" Ok, I'll shut up " Dave continued too tired to really get started with an argument, he turned back to the bed and his mouth dropped open in shock.
" Hey Rob, someone's up " He informed his still fuming friend and smiled at the boy who was looking a little upset/confused about the situation.
" Umm I'm Dave, this is Rob and we're police man, we found you in a park do you remember what happened? " There was no answer, then a croaky voice replied
" If you're policeman where are your uniforms? " Rob fetched a glass of water with a straw and let Maurice have a sip to soothe his sore throat.
" That's a good question, see we're not actually on duty right now, but we thought we'd check to see how you were doing. " Maurice nodded and his eyelids closed again for a second but then sprang back open.
" Do you remember what happened? " Rob asked and Maurice shook his head a little after a beat,
" We found you in the playground at St Christopher's School, Do you know how you got there? " The boy shook his head again,
" Someone beat the tar out of you, you were hurt pretty bad but you're gonna be all right ok?" This time the boy nodded and he looked around the room as if looking for someone.
" We've been trying to find your Mom but with no luck, do you know your phone number? "
" I'm eleven not five" came a raspy reply and Dave cracked a smile at the attitude
" Well what is it? " Dave asked but frowned at Maurice's closed eyes
"Maurice?" Dave asked peering at the boy,
" It's Bosco, I hate the name Maurice " the boy mumbled and with that sleep claimed him and the room fell silent for a moment.
"Plucky kid" Rob piped up and Dave smiled
" That would be one way to describe him "
" He know's who put him here" Rob stated and Dave nodded
" Yeah I got that feeling too, oh well we won't be able to do anything until he wakes up again, I suggest a shower and some food. "
The two stood from their chairs and made there way silently out of the room, behind them Bosco popped an eyelid open and watched them go.
