Seth sighed at Noelle and looked towards the larger boat pushing off from the dock.
'Damnit, we don't have time to get to room now, sorry, but the first aid kit in the boat should at least have some painkillers. Just relax and take your mind off it and you'll be okay.'
Smiling, he looked up at the larger boat slowly moving away again, and checked his watch before going back into his normal slightly hyperactive state he was in while on a mission. It was as if it made up for his lazyness in personal matters, by giving him a rush of adrenaline whenever he was doing something important. Thinking it was best not to think about it and be more focused on his work, he jogged over to where the smaller escort boat was being untied and hopped onto the boat, lying back and and closing his eyes, subconsciously flicking the safety switch off on his Colt 1911 handgun. He liked the Colt for some reason despite being against using it unless he had to; It was reliable, easy to pass off as a replica and powerful. Noticing it was going to be a while until the boat was in open water, Seth found a place in the sun to lie down and rested. He really needed a tan anyway, considering he was pale enough to be considered shiny under a white light.
Waking up several minutes later, Seth stood up and yawned slightly, seeing that he'd got sunburn on his left arm.
Damnit.
He looked around only to be shoved aside and by Marv, causing him to lose his balance.
'What the hell?' He said, picking himself up and peering at Marv curiously. Noticing that Marv was looking out across the water for something, he stood up immediately and drew his colt, looking back at the rest of the team mebers on the boat.
'Did you see one?' He asked cautiously scanning the water at the same time, until he noticed a splash in the water and a flash of something, causing him to jerk and nearly drop the handgun.
'Reckon that was a Dolphin?'
He didn't hear Marv's reply due to the flicker of movement reappearing again yet closer to the boat. Just as he was passing it off as a fish, he saw the Mermaid fully appear. Seeing Marv raise his gun, Seth did the same, and thought for a second.
What if this one's friendly? Then again, they don't seem too friendly considering the proof we've had. What about that guy in the morgue? Ripped to shreds. I'm not gonna risk it. All bets are off.
Aiming down the sights of the gun, he aimed for the chest of the Mermaid, hoping to hit the heart. Squeezing the trigger twice in quick succsession and feeling the solid kick of the weapon in his hands, Seth hoped he hadn't made a mistake.
