CALIENTE (h.s.)

"I thought you knew better."
"Why is that?"
"If sharks stop moving, they die," Harry is startled at her remark, she realizes that he believes the same thing and sees himself in these misunderstood creatures.
"You won't die in here."
"Yes, I will. If you keep me here like a doll in a dollhouse I will die."
"I have already told you, you can leave whenever you want."
"But then I won't have a job."
"You still want it?"
"I proved I can have it."
"I admired your work, I admit that."
"Then let me out there. Who would want to kill me anyways?"
"I'm already thinking of more names than I can count."
"Nobody knows me."
"Because you stay here where it's safe."
"You call it safe? Is prison safe?", she taps the tank glass, "They're still predators."
"You're a natural born killer?"
"No. But I know that they want out as much as I. Sure, the tank's wonderful, lavish, elaborate but it can't beat the ocean."
