"DR.D! GET OVER HERE!"
"What is it no- OH MY GOD! Billy! What did you do?"
"Why are you all blaming me? Can't we put him in the Spare Cabin?"
"Okay fine. ALEXANDER! Were going to need some help over here!"
I woke up on a boat (I think cause the room I'm in was swaying) my shirt distinctively smelled like salt water (if salt water even SMELLS!) I got up and started pacing around the room. "Where am I?" I wondered out loud. That's when I heard the voices.
"Sheena! Is that boy okay?" A man's voice asked.
"I don't know. I'll go check." A girls voice said. All of a sudden a girl appeared in the doorway. She looked a bit older then me. She had long jet-black hair that ran down her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep dark blue. "Dr. D! He's awake!" She shouted. My eyes went up in fear. She probably noticed it because then she said directly TO me, "Are you all right?" Then in the doorway, a man appeared in the doorway besides a boy. The man (who I presumed was this Dr. D character) was short, thin wore glasses like me, and hade curly brown hair. The boy had the same jet-black hair as the girl but his was a lot shorter.
"I'm sorry for my sister for pestering you. The names Billy, Billy Deep. That's my sister Sheena and that's my uncle, George Deep. We all call him Dr. D." The boy said and had his hand extended toward me. I reluctantly shook it.
"Sorry about this mess. We found you lying unconscious in the water near my boat. But not that that matters. Do you have a name?" Dr. D asked.
"D-Dan." I said.
"Well Dan pleased to meet you. I'm George but you can call me Dr. D." Dr. D said.
"What are you a doctor of?" I asked as we walked out of the cabin.
"I'm a marine biologist. I study all kinds of aquatic life." He said. I noticed on the back of his head was a small bald spot. We all stopped and froze as we heard the small chugging of a boat. I ran up on the deck of the boat and froze. The boat I was on was huge! It had to be over 50 feet long. The boat I heard was a small and newer boat than this one. On the side were the words Marina Zoostenciled on the side.
"I should tell Alexander about this." Dr. D muttered and ran off. I looked around and all I saw was ocean. Nothing but water for a couple of miles. The only thing that caught my eye was a large red mass on the left (probably port side) of the ship.
"Hey Dan" Billy stood behind me and pointed to where Dr. D ran off to. He quickly took off and I followed. "You never told us where you lived so we can call you're family and tell them where you are." He said.
"I live in Woodgrove New York." I told him. He stopped running and looked at me like I was insane.
"That's impossible!" Billy said.
"No it isn't!" I said. "Check any map of New York and you'll find it!"
"I never heard of Woodgrove and I visited New York so I'd know!" He boasted. Before I even got another word out I heard a man shout a sentence that changed my life forever.
"I don't care how you do it Dr. Deep." The voice bellowed. "But I want you to find that mermaid!"
