The Den is fully set up to accommodate aquatic monsters as well as land dwellers. The stage we’ll be on tonight backs up to a water tank.

“We’ll open the curtain at the back of the stage. There will be limited access in the pool too. It’ll appear like any other show.” Saber sighs, watching my wife with a look I don’t like. “Are you sure you’re good with this?”

“Stop,” she says, jabbing a finger at his chest. “I’m not afraid of being on stage. Are you sure the glamor is convincing enough?”

“You look like Vivie. It’s weird as hell,” he admits, swiping a darkly tanned hand over his face. “Oh, by the way. She told me to make sure you put on a good show. She can’t have you ruining her sex appeal.”

Ali snorts. “That sounds like Vivie.”

Saber’s gaze moves to me. “You can go ahead. Get in the tank. Make a show of it. They like it when Laz has a dramatic entry. He wasn’t nearly as demanding with his instructions for you.”

My multiple hearts race. I have a single heart in human form, but in partially shifted and when I’m fully my monster, I have three. Without them, it wouldn’t be possible to pump blood to all my appendages simultaneously.

Saber gives me an expectant look, nodding to the glass.

I’m very much out of my depth with this entire situation, but I won’t fail at my job. Malice seems to think this little display to keep the agents happy is important. He hasn’t betrayed us yet.

“Thank you,” Ali says, gripping my arm and giving it a quick squeeze.

“I’ll see you out there,” I mumble, slithering away before I can embarrass myself. It’s strange to have my tentacles back and so easily at the ready.

I’ve missed them.
