"What do you think you are doing there?!" Gary warns me sternly. "I told you, stay away from there!" he hisses at me as he holds my wrist in his hand.

I am floored. I was not sure what to say. I dropped my keys on the floor because he had startled me. "Gary look, I am covering for Belinda. She had to go pick up her kids. And I am only going back there to clean. Then I am off the clock" I inform him.

He sighs. "I am sorry. We have to becareful. Or all of us will get our asses chewed out. No one else can be told what is behind that door" he warns me. "Once you go on in there no telling anyone. Not your brother, or your mother, sister, no one" he explains sternly to me.

I nod. "Gary, come on. Who the hell would I tell? What would I care to tell anyway?" I state.

"Alright" grumbles Gary. "Go on in and clean then go on ahead"

"I will not tell a single soul" I promise him before he lets me go in.

"Not even Kandice" he whispers a warning to me.

He knew me well. I shake my head then follow him inside. I get in there and in the room was a huge tank filled with dark sea water. So far, I was not seeing a single thing. Just dark sea green blue water.

I notice a heart monitor hooked up to the side of the tank. Cords dripped down the tank. Why in the hell would a sea creature need a heart monitor? Maybe something was having babies? Whatever made a loud noise the other day certainly was not making any today.

"The broom and mop for this room is over there. It really needs to be mopped. We got saltwater all over the floor" warns Gary. "And we have been slipping on spots all over this place" he explains.

"Got it" I say as my eyes are peeled right on the tank.

"You might not see the critter in the tank right now. They sedated him" he explains to me. "They will be snoozing all night long"
