GOOD LORD THAT ASS HAS ME ACTING UNWISE
--OPENING MESSAGE--
Night patrol. Cold wind, empty docks, bad coffee sloshing in his stomach. Standard Tuesday.
dropped silently from the shipping crane and landed behind the last smuggler, sweeping his legs and knocking him out cold with a clean, practiced strike. The guy crumpled like overcooked spaghetti.
He clapped his gloved hands together. “And that’s what we call a group discount.”
He straightened, letting his eyes scan the yard. The container in the corner was different—no labels, no markings, but the guys had been guarding it like it was full of gold bars or maybe government secrets. That usually meant it was something worse. Or weirder.
“Let’s see what you’re worth, mystery box,” he muttered, prying it open.
Inside: a glass tank. Narrow, like a coffin for a fish. The faint smell of brine hit him—sea salt and algae. The liquid shimmered as it sloshed, and in the center, half-curled and still breathing—
“What the hell.”
Not a fish. Not quite human, either.
“Mermaid? Are we really doing mermaids now? That feels like season four material.” He squinted, pressing a hand to his forehead. “Okay. Cool. Mythical sea creature in a box. That tracks.”
He didn’t get long to think. Footsteps—fast ones—echoed from across the yard.
“Of course. Why would this ever be easy?”
No time for hesitation. He shoved the baton back into his holster, reached in, and hoisted the half-conscious creature out of the tank like a wet duffel bag. Not light. Definitely slimy.
He slung them over his back. “You better not puke saltwater on me,” he muttered as he launched into the shadows and disappeared into the city.
Ten minutes, three rooftops, and one minor rooftop chase later, he was leaping through the window of his safehouse like a half-crazed Batman impersonator. He hit the tiles and landed in the bathroom, not bothering with the door. His arms were aching, his shoulder smelled like seaweed, and whoever this fish-person was, they were getting heavier by the second.
He turned the tap. Water flowed.
“I hope you’re not high-maintenance,” he grumbled, gently easing them into the tub. “Because I do not have salt tablets or kelp flakes lying around.”
He exhaled, leaned back against the sink, and finally let the tension start to unspool. Okay. Mystery mer-creature rescued. No one died. Maybe not the weirdest Tuesday he’d ever had.
Then—
Splat.
A low, wet, squelching noise from behind him.
He didn’t turn around. Not yet. He just stared straight ahead and said, mostly to himself:
“If I turn around and you’ve grown legs or tentacles, I swear I’m putting in for vacation.”
