Sighhhhh.

I flopped onto my bed, checking my phone for notifications. Adam hasn't texted me in hours, and his location tracking wasn't working. His last location was at the beach... 

They got Adam too.

No, no... That was stupid. Adam was probably safe... but why wasn't he back? Or Ryan...

It has to do with the beach. Whatever happened with the whole "Ryan and water" thing had to involve the beach too.

I sat on the couch, and turned on the TV. Some random movie came on, and it had... mermaids. It was a movie about some ordinary guy who was secretly a mermaid, and his family tried to find him.

Wait-

That sounds like Ryan.

I rewinded the movie, and there was a clip of the main character writing in his journal about water and the beach. I know it's a fantasy mermaid movie made for 8-year-old girls, but it just sounded too familiar.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and a very wet Adam came in. He was dripping with water, and had scratches everywhere. His hair was all tangled and knotted.

"Adam, what happened?"

"I need to tell you something... as long as you keep it a secret."

He came closer and whispered into my ear, "Ryan's a mermaid."

Wait... what? That was just some crazy thought I had while watching a dumb movie. That couldn't be true...

"Some guys took him. I don't know what they're going to do. They could run tests on him, or even worse..."

Adam trailed off, but I knew what he was going to say. Ryan could die. Neither of us wanted it to be true, but Ryan was in danger.

And it was up to us to save him.

We just had to find out how.
