"A few days ago. Why?
Is it a crime to spice up my room?"
"No...Not at all.
Would you perhaps happen to know who sculpted this masterpiece? Was it a team or a single person?"
"Single person."
"Boy or girl?"
"Girl.
….Shoot."
".....I'd very much like to meet her.
Can you show me your security cameras, real fast?
Last thing, and then we'll be out of your hair."
"My.....Security cameras?"
"Is something wrong, Mrs. Sands?"
*Gulp..
"Uhmm….No."
"You do have cameras, do you?"
"I do. They're...…follow me. They're in the back."
"Thank you."
"Ruby, whatever Sorcery you are, please…..please…please don't show up on my cameras."
"Are these it?"
"Yep."
"...Well...…can you turn them on, please? And rewind it back to when you first had this Mermaid put up."
"Yes, sir."
*Click….click….click….click.......click*
"It's all set up."
"Thank you. You can step back now.
Let's see here ...."
"This button helps you go forward, and this one rewinds."
"Thank you."
*Click.....click...…..click...…..*
"Here we are sir. This is the day."
"Who is that, standing in front of the Trash bag?"
"That?
That's my son, Jordan."
"Did he watch the whole thing?"
"......Yes."
"...Then we wait."
*Click*
"...........Wooooo….Wooooo...Wooo. Pause it right there.
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"What? What do you see?"
"Is that a girl standing beside Jordan?
Zoom in.
Who is that, Mrs. Sands?"
"Oh no.
That.....that's......…..Oh her? She's Jen. Picking up her daily Petunas."
"Keep going."
"That's it, Sir. Honest.
No one else is standing beside him? From the time he first stands in front of the Trash bags, to the time the Mermaid is erected, only Jen is seen walking past...but she has nothing in her hands to help Sculpt."
"Then who is sculpting?
Rewind one last time, and then go forward slowly."
".........I'm telling you, Sir; no one is there.
It has to be Jordan."
"Then how do you explain?"
"How do you explain what? My son is no divine Being."
"Ma'am, where is your son, now?"
"Middle Crawl, why?"
"............Thank you for your time, Mrs.
Have a great day."
"Oh...…You too.
Come back anytime."
"We will, Mrs. Sands. We will."
