Myka helps Pete limp back to the front entrance of the warehouse carrying him on her shoulders as he hobbles along beside her.

"Sweet talk? You know I don't do that Pete. Lean on my shoulder I'll help you back to Arties office."

"I'll try Myka, I'm tired all the sudden... I feel all my strength is being drained from me."

"Keep talking to me. Don't black out okay? Stay awake. Pete? What's my favorite color?"

"Purple. I'm trying Myka, I really am." he says his voice becoming weaker.

"Were almost there Pete."

Meanwhile in the office,

"Claudia I wish you would have asked me before you built this new computer to upgrade my system."

"Your stuck in the stone age Artie, you needed an update."

"There is nothing outdated about my system it has worked for me well for years why change it?"

"Because I'm tired of inventory and I needed something fun to do and besides it's totally user friendly."

"Another hip hop buzz word of youth." Artie says sarcastically.

"Artie." Myka says entering the room with Pete weak and pale resting against her shoulder.

"What happened Myka?"

"I don't know Artie he was playing with a sword and knocked off the shelf and I didn't see what happened... He just started moaning."

"What did he knock off the shelf Myka?"

"It was just a sea shell! Nothing more... it looked really old but it was beautiful in a way."

"A shell? Where were you? Which aisle were you in?"

"24a section 48f."

"Let me look here to see what is in that section." Artie says going to his computer to look up to see what artifact he had knocked off the shelf.

"Ahhh!" Pete says screaming in pain as the leather in his shoes starts to stretch and strain at the seams.

"Artie what's going on what's happening to Pete?"

"I don't know yet give me a minute."

"Looks to me like he's becoming a big foot." Claudia says quipping.

"Very funny Claudia more of that wavier wit I like so much."

"You don't always have to be so sarcastic Artie you can have a sense of humor about things."

"I will when the situation calls for it but for now this is not the time." Artie says grumbling at Claudia.

"Woah Artie his feet are getting bigger." Claudia says as she watches with Myka in startled amazement.

"Don't rush me Claudia."

"I'm not I'm just saying as it might be helpful info."

"Aahhh! Ahhhh!" Pete screams as sweat build at his forehead as his feet slowly grow out of his shoes and start forming into a fin.
