I was at work early once more. As I had promised Kavan that I would be there. And I meant every word. I had not gotten much sleep that night. I worried about Kavan, and his fate here. I worried that something bad was going to happen to him if he was not returned to the ocean. He belonged in the ocean. So, he could look for his mystery princess. A princess whom he was meant to be with.

Even though he could never be with someone like me I truly wanted what was best for him. I wanted to help Kavan. I had to talk to Kandice. See if I could get her to help me with this idea I was having.

We had to free Kavan. Before the government decided to come take him away and do awful experiments on him. They would treat Kavan ten times worse than they were here at the aquarium. I could not allow that to happen.

I find Kandice in the break room. Getting ready for a day's work. We were already packed full. People were hoping to learn more on our handsome merman. But they were not going to get to see him today. No way.

They might never get to see him if the government had their way with things. I was so worried. Once we got Kavan back to the ocean then I would be able to sleep at night. I would feel better about the whole thing.

"Kandice!" I breath out.

I grasp at her arm to get her attention.

"How is Mr. Merman today?" she wants to know.

I pull her aside.

"I am about to go see him here soon. I have something to ask you" I begin to say.

She nods. "Alright? What is going on?" she wants to know.

"We need to rescue Kavan" I tell her.

"Who? Who needs to be rescued?" she mutters.

I look around us to make sure no one could hear us. "We need to break the merman free. Kavan" I tell her. "Otherwise something bad might happen" I say to her in a hushed tone.
