Snippet #2541304

The selkie girl looked deflated, letting out an uncertain squeak. Her human shook his head and said the 'no' sound again. He didn't want the fish? Was he not hungry? Or did he not like the fish she offered? "Kii?" she lowered the fish, holding it in her lap and looking torn. She wanted to eat it, but she had already offered it to the human. Besides, she still didn't know how to keep him happy and nice towards her.

As the doctor looked skeptical, the resident returned, quietly informing the doctor that Raven had not had a psyche evaluation. He asked if a referral should be put in to get the man properly examined. As the physician gave the instructions for the order to be put into the computer, he looked over at the woman for what had to be at least the twelfth time and wondered how she could have gone unrecorded and unregistered in any way. As far as documentation went and social security, the girl didn't exist. No birth certificates, no name, no address, no belongings, no registered fingerprints, nothing.

Brought back to his patient as Raven remarked about a sudden headache, the doctor felt doubtful. But, he knew to not jump to conclusions in medicine. That was the surest way to overlook something or make a mistake. "Did it just start Mr. Raven? Is it limited to just one part of your head? Are you feeling any dizzyness? Do you feel nauseous at all?" he asked, rattling off questions to try and get a better idea of the cause. Was it a migraine? A physical injury? Dehydration? So many subtleties in a headache.



Officer Braun turned at the sound of his partner, approaching and speaking in a low voice as well, every so often glancing back at the door and the suspect. "Sorry I haven't submitted my portion of the report. The hospital found multiple fractures, some minor internal bleeding, and he had a concussion, but he was stabilized and is expected to make a full recovery. The girl was treated for cuts and abrasions, a gash, her shot wound, two fractures, and some dehydration. She still has no known records, and no one knows her name. It's odd, she's refused to leave him since, and just now brought a fish in as some sort of present." Facing his partner full on now, Officer Braun shook his head, running his hand through his hair. "He admitted to shooting her when I questioned him in the ambulance. He claims he feared she'd kill him and shot her in self defense, then bandaged the wound afterwards because he realized he was wrong. The suspect also admitted to chaining her with handcuffs, again saying she was trying to struggle and hurt him. The weirdest part is he keeps claiming she's a seal."
