The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 26
The footage in front of me gradually became clearer. I could see two silhouettes, Peter and I. We appeared at the lower corner of the screen and were walking to the glass cabin door while chatting. I remembered that we were talking about the similar frequencies emitted by the merman and dolphins when they went into heat.
A few minutes later, the merman swam towards me and placed his hand onto the glass exactly as I remembered. After a while, I also placed my hand onto his through the glass.
Gary’s breath suddenly became labored with dissatisfaction as if he didn’t want to see the events before him. He got up,wa1ked toward the window and firmly landed a punch onto the window. I, on the other hand, was staring at the footage where the merman and I gazed deeply into each other. My heart started beating rapidly, it felt like it could jump out of my chest at any moment.
Knock knock knock! Someone was knocking on the door of the room.
I exhaled a breath of relief and Gary quickly came to my side. He closed the laptop and disconnected the hard disk, it seemed that he didn’t want anybody else seeing it.
It was only after that that Gary went to open the door.
Beyond the door stood a tall, young woman. She wore the research facility uniform but I realized she wasn’ t the same as the other personnel. She wore a badge in front of her chest, and by the looks of it, it seemed she was affiliated with the military.
I was even more shocked when I looked behind her. There were several muscular soldiers following her in an orderly fashion. She must be really respected.
Gary seemed to be very surprised by her arrival and said respectfully, ”Colonel Laura, why have you… ”
The woman interrupted him with a smile. ”Please refer to me as ‘doctor’ while we’re here”
