When Norman woke up in the morning, he was quite sleepy...he got up, made his breakfast with the little food he had on his apartment: a sandwich with eggs and some lettuce, why not? He picked up his notes from last night. 

The mermaid was trying to communicate with him! He was glad that she decided to do so...because he had already received a notification from Vincent saying that if she didn't communicate, he would have to hire Cislo and his man again and use force on her.

Still, he was happy that she emitted a frequency...maybe it was similar to a dolphin's frequency? At least it seemed too, for him...cloud he revert and decipher what she meant? Even if the lab had the highest and best technology in those terms... 

He read a lot of studies about frequencies and dolphins, but all essays ended the same way: the language spoken as frequency can not be traduced to another language after all. It's a totally different language by itself that cannot be understood:

" Dam it! I had the highest grade, I have some good brains! I should be able to decipher this! Jesus, I'm late for work I have to go!"

When Norman drove into the lad and entered the room there the mermaid was, Don and Gilda here outside taking care of some other investigations. He waved her "Hi" and she got near to him as he leaned at the glass of the aquarium to look over his paper about the frequency studies. He also had a audio recorder in case he made any sound, more clear this time

" So...let's see what can we advance today! Could you please say something to me like you said yesterday? Please..." 

Nothing...nothing for 2 hours and Norman was so frustrated what he started to sight. And the worst is that he knew what would happen to her if she didn't talk...his peaceful approach would have been for nothing

He laid his head with his hands on his white hair and placed his hand, with the audio recorder by the border of the glass there the mermaid was standing, not aware of that was making him sad and frustrated. 

" I'm never get to listen to your voice ever again? "

" What?"

When Norman looked the mermaid had the audio recorder he just held in his hands and was looking at him with a playful look on his face. She looked carefully into the audio recorder and smiled at Norman. Oh no, that....was bad

" Please give it back! I'm serious! That thing is really expensive!"

All it took was one minute, for the mermaid to grab Norman's arm out of nowhere and send him flying into the aquarium leaving him all soaked and cold

All it took was one minute, for the mermaid to grab Norman's arm out of nowhere and send him flying into the aquarium leaving him all soaked and cold. He had always been a little frail when it came down to physical traits and he didn't like cold water...that much

" Jesus Christ Holy Mother! Look at what you have done! This isn't fun! Please give me that!"

Nope she had really playing with him and guess what...she lived in the ocean so Norman's weak legs were to match for that tail of hers. After more than five minutes Norman was almost dying out of breath and she still had the audio recorder in her hand smiling at him, as if she wanted to play with him.
