Rosalie leads them to a seaside cave.
"I know you're in there!" She calls out, her voice hard. Bo stands near, Lester does too, looking around.
A beautiful voice calls out, a male one,
"Who are you, exactly?"
"My names Rosalie" she calls, "I'm a Mer with two human men, Beauregard and Lester Sinclair!"
"Did you have to use my full name?" Bo grumbles but then freezes when he sees the siren.
He's breathtakingly handsome but has gills, sharp claws and teeth and dangerously glinting eyes as he surveys the three until they land on Lester, then they grow wide.
Lester and the siren stare at each other a few moments before Lester waves,
"Howdy!"
"...I'm Reece" the siren says slowly, "you may enter and tell your wish"
He slinks back into the cave, the other three following slowly and they can hear Reece already talking with someone, a woman who looks much how Reece does.
"What do they want?" The woman demands from Reece who sighs, looking at the group,
"...This is my sister Sienna, tell her"
Before Rosalie or Lester could even move, Bo spoke, quickly explaining what had happened to Dolly and how they even just needed one person to be hypnotized.
"What will you give us in return?" Sienna asked, narrowing her eyes at Bo,
"We don't have much..."
Reece pipes up, "When the time for repayment comes, we will ask...fair?"
"Fair"
Sienna purses her lips at Reece, clearly contemplating before she nods slowly,
"Yes, I suppose so..." she says before gesturing to the mouth of the cave, "let us go"
The two sirens lead, Bo, Lester and Rosalie following out of the cavern and Bo can't stop fiddling with a ring he'd never taken off since Dolly gave it to him.
He hopes she's okay.
