"We're here." Ryker paused.

"Top floor, danger sign. Nah, I think a mermaid is on the other side of the door." 

Kinkaid's eyes lit up. "Mermaid! I've never seen one." 

Ryker facepalmed. "Have you never heard of the term sarcasm before?" 

Kinkaid tilted his head. Just as he was about to speak... 

"Never mind, don't answer that," Ryker said getting back to his feet. "Let's go." 

Kinkaid followed suit. "The man we came to free is on the other side of that room."
