John hastily swimmed back to the marina and waited for the mermaid to return. However, while waiting, a bunch of people spot her, and a group of lifeguards throw a net over her, pinning her down in shallow water. In a matter of minutes scientists were called and took her away.
When they arrive to wherever they were, John's mermaid self was dropped into a tank shaped like a cylinder and filled with water. Before John could say anything, she was interrupted by the impressed wails of the scientists.
"We're the first people to ever catch a mermaid!" One shouted. "Think of the big bucks we're going to get!"
By now John was worried that the boat would be back at the marine, and the mermaid would have run off with her body. She thought she would neve be back in her body again.She almost felt like crying.
