>The captain sighed like he empathized with your situation.
>"I get your actions. I really do. I just wish I had a heads-up about it earlier. At least I hope you didn't just leave her to her own devices after you drove off," he said.

>"Well, at least the two of you did something different. All that was achieved with that seal girl was getting her a bigger pool and putting her family home under semi-quarantine," he explained.
>"We had plans to move the family somewhere quiet so that they wouldn't need to deal with the media vultures, but the feds blocked the idea," he followed up.
>"Why?" you inquired.
>"I, too, would like to know. But if I did, my job would be easier, and we can't have that," he said with irritation.
>"You know? The only people who didn't make my job more difficult were from the military. Those guys are at least helping with roadblocks. Everyone else either didn't help at all or made my job actively more difficult," he followed up.
>"And that man from the CDC?" you asked ascuriosity got the better of you for a moment.

>"What type of data?" you inquired further.
>"What do you think? Everything. From urine and stool samples to blood and spinal taps. And if they find something suspicious, they'll even put you under quarantine," he said.
>"Isn't that good in the long term?" you asked.
>"Maybe. The problem is that we are already short-staffed, and we can't really afford to have an officer or even multiple officers unable to do their jobs," he said.
>"I'm sorry for getting carried away. I'm just so tired by all of this," he said in a defeated tone.
