Part 1:-
"Hey Rikki" Cleo greeted as Rikki wandered in to the juicenet cafe and over to where they were sitting.
Rikki gave a smile and winced slightly as it caused her growing headache to give out a spike of pain.
"Your head still hurting" Emma asked frowning. "That bruise hasn't seen to have gone down. Maybe you should go see Theresa again"
"No its ok. It has gone down slightly. Its just a bite sore" Rikki replied sucking down her juice that Lewis had plonked infront of her "Thanx Lewis"
Lewis nodded his head in sympathy before turning to Cleo and giving her a quick kiss.
"So what's everyone been up to" He said as he linked hands with Cleo who flushed a bright red.
"Well I've been helping my dad take care of Kim since he seems to think shes not old enough to take care of herself" Cleo spat out resentfully.
"I've been working a lot" Emma said shrugging
"And I've been recuperating as Zane keeps telling me I have too" Riki gumbled good naturedly.
"So you should"They all said
Rikki gave a little laugh "Jinx"
She shifted slightly feeling a bit awkward, Emma noticing this asked what was up. "I don't know" she replied. "I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen. That something happened whilst I was unconcious. Maybe I'm just being paranoid"
Emma glanced over to Cleo, before turning back to Rikki. "Yeah maybe" she said.

Meanwhile
"Oh guess who I heard is coming back"Paul said over his shoulder as Theresa walked by.
"Shouldn't you be working instead of gossiping" she replied as she reached over to pluck a clipboard with the patients details from the young nurses hands.
"ha ha ha" he replied. "no seriously you wanna know this. shes a right kook"
Theresa glanced at the clock quickly before saying "Go on then tell me"
"That Dr Denman. The one who swore she had mermaids in captivity" Paul said clutching his stomach in laughter.
Theresa's head snapped towards Paul "What mermaids?" she asked
"Oh don't tell me you believe in mermaids" he said "and I dunno. Something to do with that rich Bennet guy. Hired this scientist to track down these mermaids. Last I heard they had some in custody but they apparently escaped" he wiggled his fingers to indicate mystical forces. "Loads of rubbish I reckon. Everyone knows there arn't such things as mermaids"
"Yeah...right" Theresa whispered.
"Anyway I better go get Mrs Hope. She will start grumbling if we dont move her fast" Paul said as he wandered off"
"Bye" Theresa replied her mind still distracted at the thought of mermaids.
What she saw when that water touched Rikki couldn't have been a mermaids tail...could it?
She hesitated for just another moment before reaching over to the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Dr Denman, I need to talk to you about something I saw that I heard you had experience in"
