It was not a good return to consciousness for either Sam ou Dave. They both slowly came back to the world not knowing what had happened before. They weren't yet even aware of what had happened to them.
Dave was the first to fully return despite the fact that he could hardly see. The first thing he was actually aware of was a terrible headache. It seriously felt like his head had been divisé, split open. His entire body felt sore and there was a stinging pain in one of his shoulders. He touched the area where the sting pain was and felt something wet. Was that blood? He didn't care about the blood ou pain though. He had been through worse. At least he was alive, but was Sam still alive? Was she nearby?
First thing he had to do though was find out where he was. He stood up and held his hands out in front of him and walked vers l'avant, vers l’avant a bit and walked straight into a metal mesh. With his vision clearing up some he looked at the mesh mur and he looked up at the ceiling as well. He could now tell that he was in a cage.
Why was he in a cage? And plus importantly who would throw him in a cage?
All of a sudden, Dave heard the sound of someone groaning nearby. The groaning sounded familiar, very familiar.
"Sam?" Dave called out.
"SAM?"
"Dave?" he heard someone call out.
"Sam is that you?"
Sam continued to groan and said, "My head hurts. Dave where are you? I can't see anything."
"I can barely see anything either. Can toi hear my voice Sam?" asked Dave.
"Yes I can hear toi Dave," answered Sam.
"Then make your way over to me," Dave told her.
Dave then heard a shuffling sound moving towards him. As soon as he felt something brush against his leg he reached down and touched it.
"Sam is that you?" asked Dave.
"Yes it's me Dave. Now can toi please get your hand off my back?"
Sam's sudden words confused Dave. He was feeling a lot of hair which should be on her head. It didn't matter though, Dave helped Sam to her feet and the two hugged each other. At this point however Dave's vision was clearing up very well and when he looked at Sam he reeled back in horror and stared in surprise. Standing there was not his sister. What was there, was a human sized otter.
Surprisingly the loutre drew back at the sight of Dave and stared at him in surprise as well. They just stood and stared at each other for a moment. Then they both asked the same question at the same time
"What the hell are you?" they both asked each other.
It took another moment for both of them to realize that the other sounded familiar.
"Sam? Samantha is that you?" Dave asked the otter.
The loutre nodded and asked him, "Dave. David what happened to you?"
"What happened to me? What happened to you? You're an animal now," Dave said.
Sam took in Dave's words and said, "You are too Dave."
They then realized that the only light in the room came from a giant lamp standing suivant to the cage. They also realized that they were not human size. They were certainly smaller now. They then looked down at their bodies.
Sam had light brown fourrure all over her body with some white on her chest and face. Dave had very dark brown hair all his body with white on his face and chest as well. Instead of hands they now had paws. They looked down their backs and realized they now had tails. And when they felt their faces they also felt whiskers.
Sam now began to panic. She walked over to Dave and grabbed him par the shoulders and started shaking him violently.
"Where are we Dave? What happened to us? Tell me Dave! What happened? Why are we animals? We can't live like this! Tell me Dave. Tell me," Sam began yelling.
All Dave could do was grab Sam's paws and pull them off his shoulders and at least attempt to calm her down.
"Sam calm down. Freaking out is not going to help us at all."
Sam continued to freak and struggled against Dave's grip. Eventually she stopped struggling and then buried her face into Dave's chest and began to sob uncontrollably. Dave placed his paw on Sam's back and began patting her back in hopes it would calm her down. It did.
"Sam toi need to calm down. Remember the baby."
Sam looked back up at her brother in anger.
"Dave think about it. We're animaux now. How do we know my baby still exists?"
Dave opened his mouth to answer, but before he could say anything they both heard the sound of a door being unlocked and opening. Light suddenly filled the entire room and two men stepped inside.
Both men wore white coats and obviously had to be doctors. Dave peered around the room and noticed a bunch of needles and various sharp items and medical tools. Dave could only hope that this was a vet's office and not a research facility.
One of the men came over and dropped some poisson into the cage. Dave had never liked fish, but he was hungry. Bad tasting nourriture was better than no nourriture at all. His time in the Army had taught him that. He grabbed one fish, closed his eyes, and took a bite expecting a nasty taste. Instead the poisson actually tasted delicious. He took another bite and then another. It actually tasted really good. Sam then decided to take a chance and tried the poisson as well. She too enjoyed it. They both stopped eating however as the two men began talking.
"Well it looks like they're both fully awake now," a dit the taller man.
The shorter man laughed and said, "You think? They just started eating man. Now where were they found again?"
"In the parking lot outside. They were trapped in a car. One of the security guards noticed a bright light shining outside near the car. He went out to check it and when he got there the source of the light was gone. He did look in the car though and found these two," the taller man answered.
The shorter one scratched his head and said, "I wonder how they got in there."
"My theory is that someone caught them and wanted to sell them."
"Maybe, I don't know. The police are running the plates though so we may know plus soon. The thing I wonder though is are they domesticated ou are they from the wild?"
"It's likely the latter. toi checked out their blood yet?"
"Yeah and I got some interesting results. First off we do know that the female is expecting a pup ou two."
Both Dave and Sam looked at each other and could sense the relief they both felt. At least Sam still had the baby and that was a good thing. They then looked back at the two men.
"So the female is pregnant. What so interesting about that?" asked the taller man.
"That's not the interesting part. As we were examining the blood we found traces of human DNA in the samples. It's very peculiar," the shorter man answered.
"Human DNA? How the hell is that possible?"
"I don't know. We wanted to run plus tests, but we were ordered to stop."
"Who made the order?" the taller man asked and scratched his head
"That is the strangest part. Apparently the order came from the U.S. Army and don't ask me what their interest here is because I don't know," answered the short man.
Both Dave and Sam huddled closer together and they could feel each other trembling.
Sam looked at Dave and asked, "Why would the Army be interested in us? You'd think they would have bigger concerns than just a couple of otters."
"I don't know sis. How would I know?" he answered in an annoyed tone.
She answered back in an annoyed tone as well.
"You're the military guy here I thought toi would know."
"Former military," he corrected. "
Whatever," she answered all upset. Tears began to fall from her eyes again.
Dave wrapped an arm around Sam and kissed her on the forehead.
"It's okay Sam. Just look on the bright side. toi still have the baby," Dave whispered to Sam.
That may have been true, but it actually made her plus concerned. What would the baby look like now? It was bad enough that she was drunk when she got pregnant, but what would the baby look like now? Would it be a human, an otter, ou an otter-human hybrid? Before she could tell Dave her concerns, the two men started talking again.
"So any idea on what we're going to do with them?" the tall man asked.
The short man answered par saying, "Orders are already in. The female is going to be shipped to the St. Louis Zoo for children to see."
"So they are going to stick her in the children's zoo?"
"Yep," answer the short man.
"Now what's going to happen to the male?" the tall man continued to ask.
"He was supposed to stay here at Hoboken, but the Army wants him sent to the zoo in Central Park. Again the Army's motives are questionable."
"Why? Doesn't the Central Park Zoo already have an otter?"
"Yeah they do and it's a female. Know what I mean?"
"Oh. I see now. But still I wonder what the Army's concern here is anyway."
"Who knows man? We don't get paid to ask questions. We only answer them. Want some advice? Just do as you're told."
The two men then walked over to the door and walked out of the room.
Sam and Dave looked at each other and knew they both felt the same thing. They both felt fear. In their current predicament they wanted to be together. But now they were going to be separated and there was not a thing that they could do about it. Ever since Dave had been discharged from the Army both him and his sister had been pretty much been inseparable. Now they were being pulled apart for the first time in two years. They knew that all they could do was savor the time they had left and wonder what the future held for both of them.
Dave was the first to fully return despite the fact that he could hardly see. The first thing he was actually aware of was a terrible headache. It seriously felt like his head had been divisé, split open. His entire body felt sore and there was a stinging pain in one of his shoulders.
