Hana enters her office and brings the sashimi plate to the enormous fish tank, "Cali? Where are you, baby?"

A short pink tentacle slowly came to view.

"That's a" Stacey swallowed, "kraken."

Hana chuckles, "She's two months old."

"Whoa!" Dale gasped as the kraken bared its sharp teeth.

Hana looks at Frank, "You wanna feed her?"

Frank steps forward and grabs the plate as Karolina and Nico walk in, followed by Alex, Amy, Chase, DW, Gert, Molly, and Tori. Alex smiles, "I see you're meeting Cali."

"Mr. Dean, sir," DW jokes, "might wanna watch your fingers; Cali's been known to bite."

"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Hana retorted.

DW jiggles the key, "Hall pass. I told Master Heines I was going here."

"Uggh!" Hana exclaimed. "Remind me to fire him. He is such a pushover."

Molly takes the net and sweeps Cali out of the tank and places her on a pitcher of water. Hana sighs as she watched the small squid-like creature squirm in its temporary habitat. Stacey places her tan medical bag and pulls out a syringe.

"Wait," Hana exclaimed. "will that hurt her?"

Everyone turns to look at Hana, as Amy sighs, "Mr. and Mrs. Minoru, meet your new grandchild."

Hana gives Amy a side eye, "Watch it!"

Tina and Robert approach the tank. "She has your eyes!" Tina coos.

Hana on instinct looked at Tina and said, "Go with Amy."

Amy, Chase, Alex, Karolina, Gert, Nico, and Molly all smirked. Chase explains, "She'd say that when one of us gets a little bit too much."

"I was never sent to Amy." Molly explained quietly.

"Yes," Hana defends, "that's because you were the only one who wasn't a little demon."
