So now Zlyer is in it.

Zyler: So he wants to go through with it?

Janus nodded to the lazy driver, having walked out of the building to see the tanned and freckled man leaning on his car and messing with his bleached out brown hair, the blue dye long faded on the tips.

Janus, sighing and pushing Zyler off the car front: yeah. Two mers, one can talk so he says its worth more.Zyler, grinning stupidly: where to?

Janus: ... have you not seen the broadcast on TV?

Zyler: oh. Okay, get in.

Zyler rounds Janus' car, somehow having stolen the keys, and got in the drivers side. Making a frustrated noise, Janus followed suit and sat in the passenger seat

Janus: Don't pretend to be a stunt driver again, if you wreck another one of my cars I will actually strangle you.

Zyler just laughed, the mostly lazy man unafraid of the other, knowing it was a lie.



The two arrive at the sanctuary (I remembered what it was called!)

Janus: There's two. I'll get the red tailed one, you get the blue tailed one.  Got it?

Zlyer: Uh huh.Janus: Come on.They walk into the building and make sure to avoid security measures. (They miss some obviously)They see the mermaids. Janus is immediately entranced with the tails. Zlyer goes to pick up the blue on but when he touched him his eyes shot open.Janus got Roman picked up before he woke up. He started failing yelling out insults and descriptions. Janus pulls a knife. Roman pales and stops moving.

Janus: Good, now you're going to come with me.Okay? I would hate to add another scar.

Roman: Just don't hurt Patton.

Janus: Fine. We won't hurt Patton. Zlyer! Don't hurt Patton!

Roman knew Janus was mocking him. Janus carries him out leaving Zlyer and Patton alone.

Zyler hummed, then stalled next to Patton, who looked panicked with glossy eyes, about to cry, then when Janus was turned away he smiled to Patton and scooped him up easily.

Zyler: I don't wanna separate you from your friend, Im not that evil.

Oh, but he was. He just didn't like being told what to do. Especially by a victim! Holding Patton, he followed after Janus.

Janus, glaring: Zyler— for heavens sake, I told you to leave him.

Zyler: Too late! Too lazy to turn back now, time to go!

He knew that Janus knew they couldn't stay long, so he used it against him and skipped again, Patton clinging in fear to his shirt, not wanting to be dropped but also not even wanting to be near these strange men.

Patton: R-Roman! What's happening—

Zyler: Ohhh he speaks funny, is that their language?

Janus, sighing and wondering why Zyler was hired: Yes. Obviously. You must have a *high* IQ.

The four get to Philip. They sit the mermaids in a chair (for now)

Zlyer: We got your creatures. Can I go home now?

Philip *sighing* : Maybe in an hour.

Philip stands up and walks over to them. He touches Patton's tail.

Roman: Don't touch him.

Philip: Ah, So you're the one who can speak English.

Philip takes a few steps and gets to Roman.

Roman isn't fazed only angeredRoman: What do want with us?

Philip bends down and lifts his head up,. Roman in response bites his finger. Hard.

Slap

Patton gasps.Philip: You'll learn not to do that..Roman. Yes I believe that is your name. Zlyer,Janus get them out of here.

Ooo we love plot points-

Honestly I forgot how much fun Zlyer is to write.
