Harrison was getting ready to go out again, but the text stopped him in his tracks. He turned immediately for the barracks, texting as he went.
lizbot killers ok somebody got him out of the labs!!!!!!!!!!!
People were trying to sleep, so Harrison kept his voice down, but he was thrilled to see what was very definitely Killer in the tank. When Harrison walked up, the herpicorn started prancing back and forth and nuzzling the glass.
"Holy s**t. I hope that's fog monster blood, instead of one of the lab techs. They probably had to get him out of there before he damaged the other experiments."
Harrison squatted next to the bed.
"Hey, bet you're pretty eager to up your kill count, huh?" Harrison grinned. He looked back at Jordan and Rep. "Nobody's been putting there hand in there or anything, have they? I oughta get a sign. Last thing we need is for him to maim somebody."

Jordan grinned. "He seems to like me, anyway," he said. "Not even a n**. But you should totally put a sign on there. You never know."

"Fog monsters don't have blood. None of the ones I've seen yet anyway." he gave Harrison a look as if he was slightly mad. Or possibly more than slightly mad.
"You have a little horse."

"Well he knows you. And he's a herpicorn," Harrison said. "I'm going to get some tape, I'll be right back."
When he returned, it was with a handwritten sign that said DANGER! DON'T TOUCH! which he put on the front of the tank. That, plus the blood, painted a pretty grim picture.
Killer whickered and gave the glass excited kisses with his tiny pink tongue.

"Better safe than sorry," Jordan said solemnly, though his eyes danced with barely suppressed amusement.

Rep continued to eye Harrison as if he'd totally gone crazy when he returned. "Its a little horse. Herpihorse. Whatever. Its still a little horse. What's it going to do? Sparkle me to death?"
He poker faced at the little tank. "I feel like the sane man in the asylum here."

"Uh, stab you?" Harrison said, looking at Rep like he was the crazy one. "He's a herpicorn and he's a monster made out of Fear and Nightmares. See him trying to get at the blood? Julie took a bunch of lab experiments to chop up in the kitchen and he was the only survivor. Plus him and me have won a lot of fights together."
They had. Killer was probably itching to get back to the battlefield.
"I caught him on my first mission," Harrison said, patting the glass.

Jordan patted Rep's shoulder. "Sanity is relative. Especially in this line of work," he said.

If it hadn't been for the reassurance he probably would have gotten really worked up arguing in an attempt to get Harrison to see how crazy it was thinking a tiny adorable little thing could be a monster. But as it was, he realised it probably wasn't worth it in the long run and he likely wouldn't win the argument anyway.
"Suppose I've probably had some nightmares that involved unicorns in an abstract sort of ******** way."
He shrugged, wandering over to peer in at the tank. "I've never had a pet. I guess I don't get it."

"He's not a pet," Harrison scowled. "He's property of the labs. I just caught him. We understand each other, is all."
He looked at Rep and Jordan.
"You guys don't mind if he stays by the bunk, right?"

"Yeah, I don't have a problem with it," Jordan agreed. "Easier to take care of him if he's nearby."

Rep gave Harrison a very steely, nonplussed look. "You understand sparkly horse. Why does that not surprise me in the least?" He really was starting to see key signs he probably should have picked up on, the pink sash was the tip of a very large iceberg.
"But naw. I don't mind. As long as he doesn't like, have a ******** little wheel in there to run on all night or something."

"Me and him are both survivors," Harrison said firmly, but smiled genuinely at them both being okay with keeping the Herpicorn by the bunk.
He checked his phone, and answered,

"He'll be all right, I'm sure," Jordan said, and tapped on the glass. "Hey, Killer. Just don't bust out and start a bloodbath, huh? Don't worry, there's plenty of candy, you won't need to supplement with human flesh."
