Her owner had told her to leave but she had no idea where to and after wandering around for an hour she had become lost in the large building. Looking around, she noticed a piar of metal doors were opening up and several people in suits came trotting forwards.
Stopping, they looked the girl, who was only wearing a jacket, their jaws dropping in shock. Turning away, they marched off muttering in disgust many glancing back with an evil glare.
Tilting her head, she jumped into the metal doors thinking they might lead somewhere else. After a while, a voice came out of the panel, signalling the doors shutting and the elevator going down to the bottom floor.
"Uwaahh!" she screamed in fright as she dropped onto the floor grabbing the railing.
"Doors opening..." the doors slid open as she crawled out, scared of getting trapped and experiencing that again. Standing up on the floor, she stumbled along to a glass door heading outside.
"ooh," running forward her face smacked into the door making her fall backwards. As her sight became blurry, she saw a dark figure come into sight.
"ughhh your hopeless... -"
'what's he saying? I can't hear...'
~~~
Half an hour earlier.
"Have you got any leads yet?" Vincent called down the phone.
"Ehh..." the assistant awkwardly hummed as he struggled to form a believable answer.
"Hurry up!" he yelled, his patience flying out the window.
"W-well sir, the thing is umm, the seal umm wasn't a seal and...the thing is *sigh * I'll just send you the footage, " exasperated the assistant hung up as Vincent received a notification on his screen.
Opening the link, a video popped up showing the seal jumping out the water and transform into the girl he had just kicked out his office. Rubbing his eyes, he played the footage again before gritting his teeth in frustration.
"What the hell is this!? It shouldn't be possible but this shows it is. Ughhh I'm tired... For now I just need to bring that girl back and in the case it is real..." he sighed, spinning his chair before standing up and strolling out from the room.
Looking around, he found no sign of her anywhere until a group of his workers came storming along muttering about something indecent they had seen. Grabbing the arm of one of them he glared.
"Where is that girl?" he interrogated as the person shivered and avoided the cold glare.
"S-sshe was near the elevator..." he stumbled as he pointed his hand towards the direction they had came from.
"Thank you." he smiled sinisterly as the workers silenced and began walking forward again like nothing happened.
Running forward, he hopped in the elevator and dropped to the bottom floor. Thinking that she couldn't have got far, he called the security guards to lock all the buildings exits.
As the doors of the elevator opened, he saw the girl staring outside the glass walls before running and bashing her head into the window. Rushing to see if she was okay he quickly realised she had passed out.
Picking her up, he decide to carry her back up to his office so she wasn't wandering around like some kind of mentally unstable sex worker. It would surely tarnish the company's reputation if this were to get out...

Opening her eyes, she realised she was lying in a dark room and she could only faintly hear tapping behind her. Sitting up, she turned to see a slightly lit up face, startled she jumped back accidentally catching his attention.
"Your up..." he stated as he returned back to his work. Confused as to why he had told her to leave but then brought her back, she tiptoed over to where he was working.
"A lot of work, need to sleep at office," she repeated what he tended to say when he was working in the dark.
"Huh? You speak?" he questioned, finally looking up at her blank face as she didn't know what he was saying.
"speak?" scratching her head, she tried to remember if she had heard the word before.
"Ughhh..." stressed, he sat back in his chair and rubbed his eyes before getting up and heading over to the door, "Come on."
Signalling her over, she carefully skipped over excited he was talking to her again. Pausing, he looked down at her as she was still only wearing his jacket. Sighing, he grabbed his trench coat and put her in it tying the knot tightly so she couldn't take it off.
"Right let's go." he grabbed her hand, dragging her out the room onto the dimly lit corridor heading towards the elevator. Clicking the button the door opened and he dragged her inside with him.
After it began moving again she dropped to the floor and grabbed onto his legs as she scrambled around in fear. Shocked at her strange behavior he picked her up and carried her in his arms as she struggled to escape.
"Shh, it's OK we'll be out soon" stroking her hair he realised she had calmed down to the point of not realising the door had opened.
Stepping out, he walked onto a single floor where there was one door with a hand scanner next to it. Placing her next to him he walked forward and presses his hand onto it triggering the droor to click as he pushed it open.
"Get in." understanding from his look he wanted her to follow, she trotted in realising that it was the place she was kept in before.
"Oooh!" she ran over across the rocks, that had been placed at the edge of the enclosure towards the water where she began running her hand through it. Crouching, she leaned over before a hand grabbed the back of the coat and dragged her back.
"Be careful!" he yelled as fear spread across his face. Confused, she looked back at her reflection and realised she looked like the same species as him.
"Ahh..." she smiled gently as she sat down on the rock and patted next to her. Guessing what she wanted, he sat next to her as she swayed her shoulders calmly.
"You're really are trying to make me believe you're my seal, aren't you?" he gulped painfuly as he still didn't know what to believe.
"Seal?... Oooh seal!" she screamed as she pointed at herself, her other hand going for his cheek. Patting it, she watched as he closed his eyes as his brows furrowed in frustration.
