Manner of Death - M and Oat Part 2

What will Oat do? 

Oat's POV

I gave a good stretch when I woke up, the bed was actually comfy, which I found strange. My bed was in need of a new mattress so I rarely got a good night's sleep. This was why I spent most of my time at the hospital, beds were comfier.

When I opened my eyes, the bright light of the room forced me to shut them again. My head was pounding and my eyes hurt like hell. Slowly, I sat up and opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness.

Once I could open them fully I realised I wasn't in my room at all, I wasn't at the hospital either. I threw the covers off of me and it took me a minute to notice I was naked. My mind was drawing a huge blank as to where I was and what happened.

My clothes were neatly folded on the small dresser so I quickly got dressed and prayed that I didn't do anything embarrassing or that no one had been around to see. I was in two minds: I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to know what happened. As I moved, I wondered why my arse was feeling sore.

I walked out of the bedroom into a small living room and dining area. There was a small kitchen off to the side. A small note was on the table as I walked closer.

'Sorry, I had to get to work. Feel free to take a shower and get something to eat, M'

"M?" I said aloud.

"Inspector M? Is this his place?" I said as I looked around.

There wasn't much in the way of decoration to hint that anyone lived here. A few photos of women he didn't know stood on a small cabinet and a few plants were spotted around the area and that was it.

'Inspector M must have brought me home after I got drunk,' I thought to myself as I left, deciding to head home for a shower.

"Oat, how's your head?" Dr Bun asked as he clapped me on the shoulder.

I was downing my second dose of headache tablets when he asked. He laughed when I groaned at him in response.

"How much did I drink?" I asked with a groan.

"Honestly, I only saw you have the one drink, but then you disappeared and then about half an hour or so M came out carrying a very drunk you," he said with a chuckle.

"One drink?" I said, trying to remember.

I knew I wasn't great at drinking but I was better than getting drunk after only one drink.

"Dr Oat?" We both turned to see Nurse Jun stood at the door.

She had a strange look on her face, almost like remorse. Dr Bun waved her in and a strange feeling started bubbling inside me. It was almost like I felt like I should be angry or annoyed at her but I didn't know what for.

"Dr Oat, can I talk to you privately?" she asked eyeing Dr Bun who took the hint and left.

She took the seat opposite me and a sudden deja vu feeling swept over me. It was faint but I had a feeling she sat down with me last night.

"Dr Oat? I..." she stopped as if she was unsure of what to say.

"Leave now!"

We both jumped at the sudden angry voice. Inspector M stood at the door glaring daggers at her. She quickly scurried off like an ant on a hot plate. His anger confused me as well as the blush I felt at seeing him.

"Stay away from her!" he ordered a little too angrily than he needed to.

"Why?" I asked, feeling confused.
