I was finally off work for a day! I went back the next day. I could clear my head about the merman for a bit. But here I found myself at the beach. Watching over the ocean waves thinking about the merman. Was he wanting to hurt me? Or had he wanted to connect with me?

Why me?

Did it have to do with my birth mother and this necklace? Did he know my birth mother? I always hoped one day I would find her and maybe fine out why she had given me up.

Did I have any siblings out there? Was anyone wanting me? Missing me? Was a part of a family not really whole because I was gone?

I loved my adopted family. But I was sure deep down each kid who knew they were adopted had these questions and felt the same way I did right now. How could a merman know about me? Was this why I was feeling so connected to the ocean?

I sigh as I sit down in the sand. I run some warm soft sand in between my fingers. I really needed time to think over things. My cell phone rings. Normally when I was thinking at the beach, I would ignore it. But it was Gary calling me. It had to be about the merman!

"Gary?" I answer his call.

I hear a clanging noise.

"Hey, we need you here now!" he orders to me.

I sigh. "But today is my day off" I groan.

"It is the merman. We can't get him to eat. We think you can" he begs me. "You two have a connection. None of us have made one with him. Please can you come in?" he begs me.

"I don't know" I mutter.

"Please, otherwise his vitals will go down and we will have to drug him again" he warns me.

I really did not want them to have to keep drugging that poor merman. "Fine. I will be there as soon as I can" I mutter.

"Great! Please hurry!" I hear him beg before I hang up on him.
